/heg/ - Hacking and Essentials General

>>32181476
Didn't someone say they wanted to finish the Gen 5 spritesheet?

Not doing sound after all.
Just Normal/Dragon for The Order through Harmony legendary and Dark/Ground for the Chaos through Discord legendary.
Harmony gets a Dragon type Sound based move that like Knock off. (Peace, laying down your arms and all that shit)
The Discord legendary gets a Sound based Dark type move that does something....I still haven't gotten that one yet.

>>32181670
>The Discord legendary gets a Sound based Dark type move that does something....I still haven't gotten that one yet.
Deafen. The target can no longer hear its trainer's orders, and will use moves at random for a few turns.

>>32181669
The tiles?

if I am literally retarded in everything I do with no idea to even begin learning how to romhack, how long would it take me to finish a small project?

in this case, let the definition of a small project be one of the following:

a) visually updating a single route, not changing trainers or events or anything regarding game mechanics
b) adding new pokemon, creating the sprites from scratch and maybe even adding a new ability
c) modifying the overall map, adding a new location and creating isolated events local only to that location

Bumping with Kanto remix update before this thread gets ARCHIVED
So, I'm at an impasse. How do I get that cosmic horror story, Lovecraftian feel while also staying true to the catch em all, unstoppable hero of pokemon without being edgy?
The main plot is the same as Fire Red.
The sub plot revolves around the glitch pokemon from Gen 1 and a shady organization called Team Oblivion that seems to be connected to them.

Why does Essentials seem choppy whenever I test my game out, is it my computer?

Have any of you played Pokemon Normal? Is it any good? I've tried starting it several times, but could never get the internal clock working on anything portable, determining if it's worth it to keep going.

>>32185403
A. Piss easy. Entry level, anyone could do that!
B. Major fucking difficulty spike here. Even I haven't figured out how to make a custom ability with a whole new effect, that's hex stuff. Obtuse and nigh impossible for someone who isn't already a tech wiz. Inserting sprites RIGHT is moderately difficult/tedious, editing pokemon is pretty easy, though making a new cry seems hard
C. Again, super easy. Advancemap is the only intuitive program in the goddamn romhacking lineup, very user friendly. XSE, the scripting program for events, etc. is a little weird at first, but pretty easy once you learn it.

>>32186692
Also, you battle this guy aka Corrupted Future!Red when you get pulled into the Glitch Dimension. "Missingno.", the handle for all glitch pokemon, has taken over the entire Gen 1 universe. It is corrupted beyond comprehension. I REALLY want this to feel Lovecraftian.
Like when you first visit Bill's house, out of nowhere, a glitch pokemon appears and battles you. Team Oblivion shows up like Men in Fucking Black (Grey) and whites you out. You wake up back in Cerulean, but Bill's house is blocked by an NPC talking about the weather or some shit.

>>32186724
Anon, the one thing you can do to not make it edgy is not fucking have Missingno. possess red

You know what other game had missingno. possess/impersonate people? Pokemon Adventure: Red chapter, and that shitty subplot was easily the worst part of the game because he went off the rails of the Pokemon Adventure manga and started up a shitty missigno subplot, which might've been fine but he executed it so shittily and edgily that it was terrible.

>>32186771
That's all you got from that?
It makes sense in context.
And wasn't that subplot like post game shit anyway? I'm doing an entire remake of Kanto (using Gen 4/5 graphics and mechanics) that's set in a similar, but different timeline. It's all in the previous thread.
Also, the Glitch pokemon plot and the main plot are interwoven, hencemy desire to get a Lovecraftian mood.

>>32186830
It makes sense in context, that doesn't mean it's fucking good. Don't include posessed red if you don't want to look like the rest of the shitty, edgy romhacks out there is all I'm saying. You can have the glitches be lovecraftian horrors, just don't make them speak or possess anyone, that really fucking makes it corny and lumps it in with all those garbage romhacks made by 13-year olds. Separate yourself, show some moderation and I bet this can shine.

>>32186840
You sound angry at something. Go drink some milk.

>>32186855
I'm saying this for his sake. I really don't want to see such a neat concept get dumpstered by lack of subtlety.

>>32186860
Well, the context is Team Oblivion members are all unknown as they wear cloaks like Organization 13. Only in the climax (lol that word always seems sexual to me) is it revealed that they are dopplegangers of the best trainers in Kanto. Gym Leaders and what not.
They came from Gen.1 to escape its destruction by MissingNo. The whole thing is meta. The Old Man glitch from Gen 1 and how saving Missingno.and M to your file would permanently corrupt it.
Well, the file is that universe, Gen 1.
Champion Red and the Elite Four stayed behind to combat the threat.Team Oblivion wants to take Missingno.-an Eldritch, shapeless, reality warping virulent entity and give it form so that it can be cut off from its powers and be subjected to the rules of reality.
Anyway, it seems like me making Red being a glitch Boss is so bothersome to you. Is it because its Red? Would it bother you if Lance was the boss? Or Hiker Fatass? Or Lass Thundercunt? Or Youngster who gives a fuck?
>>32186855
Lol

>>32186911
Having a glitch possess someone was what bothered me, but if they're not possessed or whatever, it's fine.

Why are you fighting them, though? Seems like they're doing something good.

>>32186911
Also, you might drop the cloaks or at least tone down the edge on the team name a bit if you want to avoid being edgy.

>>32186724

>>32186949
Oh come on, the cloaks are cool. You don't like Kingdom Hearts?
The Glitch corrupts people, places, and pokemon. Team Oblivion is supposed to come off as shady at first. They show up when the glitches happen and they seem to know everything about Red and they have advanced technology and shit ABD they even use some Glitch pokemon to battle. The reveal actually shows that they are good guys trying to stop Missing no. But the way they are trying to stop it-by trying to summon it to the world and bind it in a vessel-is still questionable. They're like antiheroes really.

>>32186970

The idea for the baseline and melody were sitting on my computer for months, so I decided to start a new draft. Finished it in the same day. Huh.

How would you expand Kanto? The mainland seems so small compared to other regions. There aren't many buffer towns between gym cities. Lavender town is the only town without a gym out of 8 gym cities, 1 starter town, and the pokemon league hq.

>>32187401
Check out Bulbapedia's page on Kanto, add in a load of locations from the anime. Bear in mind Kanto only had two seasons (the first and Battle Frontier) and they were a lot more focused so there's not 89274997490 anime only locations like with Johto.

>>32186724
Please kill yourself

>>32186974
>This whole post

Honestly, you're so edgy you kinda make me smile. It's nostalgic. Good luck, anon.

>>32186855

>>32187259
Didn't expect guitars to sound good and fit on a pokémon game but damn this song is cool.

>>32187660
>>32188025
I'm convinced this is the same guy.
Also, how is anything I posted edgy? You should learn what that means before you start throwing buzz words around, Farquaad.

>>32186724
Can't wait to play your game here

>>32188025
Edgy...there's that word again. You mean like how Lance sent his Dragonite to Hyper Beam Team Rocket?
Or how Cyrus tried to summon dimensional gods to rewrite the universe without emotion? Or when Team Rocket killed pokemon, caged pokemon in electrified cages, ripped slowpoke tails off just to sale them, or forcibly evolved pokemon using painful methods?
How about that time when Maxie and Archer almost destroyed the entire world?
Or that time when Ghetsis tries to kill the player? Classic.
And who could forget Lysandre and the ultimate weapon. That was crazy.
And in recent events, Lusamine's madness.
But nooo. Having a BATTLE with a corrupted trainer is edgy.
My point is go fuck yourself.
Tl;dr go fuck yourself.
Also, POST STUFF YOU IDIOTS. Seems like everyone besides me and two other people come to these threads to lurk and complain about shit.

>>32183695
All of them. You said you would finish them. You promised. You could have done it. You could have saved us. Why didn't you do more?

>>32189085
I will. I need them for my project.
I'm just working on something else right now.
Don't worry, I'll finish them at some point.

Essentials is really, really poorly optimized. There are supposedly things you can do to improve it, but to actually make it run good on low-end computers you'd need to put so much effort that you might as well make your own game engine.

>>32186707
Pokémon Normal is hilariously bad. It starts off as a normal, not-very-good hack and then at some point it just jumps off the rails and becomes the edgiest hack since Snakewood.

>>32189203

It really does. Shame the beta ends shortly after it goes full edge, I want to see what the author does next. It pleasures me almost as much as Rescue Rangers in how bad it is.

>>32188912
Execution is everything, but honestly you seem to have no idea how you want to do your thing except throw in things you think are cool, which every 13 year old who wants to make their super cool mature Pokemon fangame already has done.

Try playing a few fangames notorious for bad writing and see how it feels to be on the receiving end of ideas similar to yours.

>>32188912

I'm just telling you to get some experience first by playing other fangames so you can think more carefully about your ideas. If you won't accept criticism and somehow go through, I'll be glad to play your game on /vp/ so we can all have a good laugh when it almost certainly ends up a glorious, poorly thought-out mess.

>>32189677
Are you replying to the glitch Red dude?

If so, I gotta agree. Be careful and don't go overboard with "lovecraftian" shit because it's going to be buried as one of many terrible games. If you like Lovecraft, you'll be able to make something good off it, though, I hope.

>>32189677

How come everyone with a complaint feels the need to pretend like they're standing in front of millions of fucking people. Like you're speaking for a rally at Capitol Hill or some shit.
Sure thing bud. Yes yes. I should really aspire to please fucking /vp/. Lol
Anyways, what are you working on?
Can you redraw my pikaclone? I can't draw for shit.

>>32189658
sure undearge

>>32189704
Right on. I'll try to keep the glitch elements subtle which is an essential part of the Lovecraftian style anyway.

Yes, I enjoy playing Pokemon fangames, and I liek to share them by posting on /vp/. I've noticed a lot of people squander good ideas and concepts with piss-poor execution or contamination with fuckign awful ideas, so I like to take an interest in developing fangames to offer input.

You hit a lot of fucking awful red flags. The only advice I'm really giving you is to play other fangames that already have used ideas similar to yours you you can see what they might look like to a player. If you won't even do that, I recommend no one reply to you from now on.

Never change /heg/.
This place is a cesspool.

My Assentials project is a remake, sort of, of my old one from 2015 before I moved on to ROMhacking. It's Assentials GS, which I know bothers some people, but whatever. Here's a plot synopsis:

Bascially, there's a meteor named the Wistaria Meteor which split into pieces centuries ago. The main part, the Burst Core, fell into a lake in a forest, which is now guarded by the (professor-type character) Dr. Mantle. The other pieces, known as Burst Stars, were scattered across the region. The Wistaria Meteor holds lots of energy from space, and if it is reassembled, it could create endless destruction.

Also, instead of Gyms, there's a tournament named the Wistaria Tournament. The player and their rival travel the region, searching for the Burst Stars while challenging the tournament.

The Nebula Gang are also searching for Burst Stars, as they want to assemble the Wistaria Meteor, recieve unlimited energy which will allow them to travel around space. This is because the boss's family were astronauts who disappeared in space. Even though they are most likely gone, he still wants to find them. That's all he lives for.

So, is it good, awful or just okay?

>>32189964
Execution is everything
And involve Pokemon

>>32189964
Sounds rad.
Where is the region based on?
I like how there are no gyms, but a massive tournament. Reminds me of shonen manga.

>>32190214
Oh right, I forgot, my bad. Actually, thinking about it the GSC map is even smaller due to the Pokégear border on top of the map border.

I apologize for looking for reasons to be condescending toward GS Essentials.

>>32190241
It's alright. Essentials is already kind of clunky when it comes to emulating official games, but GS is even worse in that regard. So it can feel wrong to how it should be

why isn't Quartz in the notable hacks list? it's my favorite and I thought that aside from the sprites and English translation it was really cool and fun.

also, how is Naranja? Considering trying it out

>>32189877
Okay how about this.
>Game is set in South America.
>The Evil Team is a group of microbiologists working for the Mugen Corp. to develop a panacea, a cure for all diseases.
>They researched the Forest and discovered that it is a living organism. The inner workings of it mimic the functions of bodily systems.
>They studied the immune response of the forest which results in these legendary pokemon based on lymphocytes that appear to hunt down and absolutely annihilate all microbes (unnatural things that harm the Forest)
>The White Blood Cell trio each have a core, a nucleus in their chest that lights up when they are issued an immune response from the FOREST. It is also where their power comes from.
>One of them is like the Natural Killer Cell. It is Psychic/Fighting.They personally deal with the enemies of the forest, but if the situation is extreme, they lead the armies of the Forest when Mama Zona calls upon them.
>The locals believe the Forest to be a goddess (gets real Avatar at this point) called Mama Zona, a Grass/Fairy type pokemon.
>She is the entire forest, but she takes a smaller, pixie like form sometimes to interact personally with her children.
>In extremely rare cases, she takes a powerful, tree like form to personally deal with enemies.
>This pokemon lives at the Axis Tree, or as the locals call it:the Heart Tree.
>The Heart Tree is the "brain" of the Forest.The Heart Tree sends signals to all other trees in the forest which in turn relays commands to pokemon. Like a massive network.

>>32190659
Naranja is reaaaally good. The early game level curve is really nice and smooth (many water types, and you've got Pikachu). However, it's not finished and will never be.

>Anyways, the E.t. which are accompanied by armed security (Pokemon trainers-before I get hurr durr edgy comments) from the Mugen Corp.
>They simulate an attack on the Forest to draw out the White Blood Cell Trio in order to capture them and take their cores.
>While all this is happening, a deadly plague spreads across the region. A poisonous epidemic wipes out huge swathes of life.
>This is caused by this Giant Scorpion/Bacteriophage/Dead tree pokemon that was unwittingly released by the ET prior to the start of the game.
>They were trying to create a disease that killed other diseases, but it mutated and grew beyond their control.
>It is pure Poison type with a bst of 680
>It has an ability called Adaptive Immunity that makes it immune to the last move used against it.
>Mama Zona issues her immune response, but with the WBC trio gone, nothing happens.
>She begins to die.
>The ET infuses the cores of the WBC trio into a literal panacea pokemon (Osmosis Jones anyone?) which joins the player's party.
>Together with the Panacea Pokemon, the player defeats the Virus Legendary and Mama Zona is revived
>She restores life to the Forest and creates more WBCs

I lost a lot of cool progress today.

However this has only made me want to double my efforts into remaking it but better, but whatever, message still stands. BACK UP RIGHT NOW.

>>32189775
I was knocking him because it's an okay concept but he was shitting it up with edgy garbage like "team oblivion" and cloaks. It's constructive, I let him know what was wrong and what he shouldn't do if he doesn't want to wind up in the trash heap with every other 13-year old's ROMhack.

>>32190867
Without Team Oblivion and cloaks-also you clearly didn't even read the thread if that's all you got from it-then it's literally just Fire Red. What the hell do you even want? Why do you come to these threads telling people what they should and shouldn't do in a FANGAME. This is /heg/. Why are you even here?

>>32190926
im not who you replied to, but what's with the "why do you come here?" The lovecraftfag was asking for feedback and he got it. Not sure what the problem is. Yeah, there's many ppl with an adamant position on how shitty or not shitty the whole plot is. So what? You said it yourself, this is /heg/.

Has there ever been a hack with a legitimately intriguing plot?

Gaia, and for Essential games, I liked the short game "Attack on Silph Co."

>>32190807
I meant to say, the Virus Legendary has an ability that makes it stronger when hit with a supereffective attack.
It's signature move is Vector Osmosis-sounded cool-which steals stat boosts and deals damage.
Now, in the POST GAME, a sect of the reformed E.T. attempt to salvage their work by using the research of Virus Legendary to create a perfect bioweapon for the Mugen Corp. This pokemon evolves twice from Toxell to Cancell to Perigon. It is Poison/Dark with an ability called Adaptive Immunity that makes it immune to the last attack used on it.

Dude, giving advice is one thing, but sitting there acting like you speak for the Legislation of all things pokemon fangame is another. Like I'm trying to get a fucking book published.
And anyway, I never asked for your permission or advice on whether or not I should have glitches and all that shit. I was sharing one of many concepts for a game I had. I was bumping with actual conversation and material. Not fucking waiting for someone to post anything other than shitposts so I can wipe my negative shit on it. What I DID ask for was pointers on how to get that Lovecraftian feel I wanted. And that was given. This little shitflinging contest that I know you love is over.

Ay yi yi, another /heg/, another argument. Come on, guys, this ought to be a great general where we gee one another up so we can all enjoy the fruits of our labours.

Actually this idea is kind of original, but I feel like there's a couple things that rub me the wrong way. It's already a bit of an oddity that we're allowed to catch the Tapus in SM, wouldn't catching Mama Zona basically instantly destroy the whole region? Also while I love the WBC trio idea I don't like the idea of handing the player a panacea Legend for free. Also are the Trio + Panacea supposed to be like BW Kyurem?

>>32193066
>wouldn't catching Mama Zona basically instantly destroy the whole region?
Well, that's gameplay storyline segregation for ya. :^) Nah, but I was gonna have the Heart Tree dying and Mama Zona being reborn once Viramite is defeated. Mama Zona is a consciousness that inhabits the entire forest. Without the Heart Tree, she's disembodied, cut off from her Children. But that's overly complicated.Real reason is
>JUST TURN YOUR BRAIN OFF BRO
As for Rx, it's the same as almost every other legendary. Mama Zona "dies" her core is taken and implanted with the other two and RX is brought to life. This is end game stuff. Player uses Rx to cure the infection of Viramite.
>Also are the Trio + Panacea supposed to be like BW Kyurem?
No. Their cores are taken for their power and information. But Rx still needed the Control Core from Mama Zona to be awakened. When Mama Zona is revived, she creates new Lukombo and Lukeeto.

Back, glitches are fine. All I was saying was rename the damn team and get rid of the shitty cloaks so it's not babby's first crossover fic tier. I meant you should disguise them with something else, obviously, just not some faggy ass cloaks.

>>32193526
Okay, I can tell you're being civil, so I'll follow your lead.
Team Oblivion is staying. I'm sorry the word Oblivion inspires such strong feelings in you. Not even being sarcastic. Oblivion matches the MIB, unknown, mysterious theme of them. Oblivion as in forgetfulness, not destruction.
Also, the Organization 13 cloaks were just a basis, a point of reference for what I envision their costumes to be. Like not even black, but like labcoats or grey robes or something. And I explained multiple times the WHY they wear hoods. I'm giving you the plot and you know now, but if I just presented the game, the hoods would actually be a reveal.

I was thinking of doing a black 2/white 2 run after i finish my platinum run and i was wondering if there were any hacks of/patches for this game that add stuff like following pokemon or other small aesthetic changes like that? I know there were a lot of people disappointing at following pokemon being a hg/ss thing so i figured maye someone out there was crazy enough to code it into a rom hack.

>>32195022
Drayano's Blaze Black 1 and 2 are okay. Add difficulty. Basically a curve hack (not necessarily "hard" but it was very hard to me) and hacks Pokémon availability too. Those are the most extensive Gen 5 hacks. Following Pokémon and similar, nope. Hacking is limited. DS hacking even more so.

>>32195049
Not really looking for much of a difficulty boost and i have to universal randomizer for pokemon availability. (planning to make elgym my starter since i really want to use one.)
Though if it adds fairy typing that'd be a plus in my books.

>>32195059
Im sure there's a Fairy patch for the Drayano hacks in particular, but there probably is one for vanilla BW and BW2 too.

Good luck

>>32195083

That picture with the /heg/ logo has to be thread picture for a future thread.

Every couple years I have a hankering to play some Pokemon. The last Romhack I played and really fell in love with was Omega Emerald; I loved the extra Pokemon, the difficulty, the small improvements to certain Pokemon and the level curve. I'm feeling that hankering to play again and I may just re-download Omega Emerald, but are there any others I should consider? For whatever reason I just can't get into the DS games at all, so something in the Emerald/FireRed generation would be nice.

Been playing around with the idea of making a RB hack, always felt Gen I to be comfier than their Gen III remakes, although it does limit me to what tools are available. I got linked to the pokered github early on though, so thanks to the people over in the discord chat for that.

Reason why I wanted to make a hack to begin with was just to balance out the base stats, movepools and typings of various mons in order to create more viable choices but just in general increase the difficulty of in-game trainers. I've been told to include some sort of new/different plot just to make the game more refreshing to play, and I feel inclined to agree, but apart from fleshing out the Mewtwo story once you've beaten the E4, I'm unsure of what to do since I don't feel like remapping all of the dialogue already present in the game. If people know of hacks who have already explored that route, do link me, I haven't personally found much.

I'm an artist at heart though, hence why I'm currently stuck repolishing the Pokemon sprites using existing sprites as a base.

Should I play Nova Sun Expanded or Leveled?

this dude here. So far i tried to us the isp files in the pastbin for adding the physical special split and fairy typing but neither worked? Applying the physical special split made my rom unable to load and made nightmarish glitch screeches like the ones my ds used to make if my ruby cartridge was just barely not in place.
The fairy type patch worked fine until i got to the rival battle where the game automatically reset itself after oak does is old " you've never battled before" speech.
What am i doing wrong? do i need a specific version of the firered rom?

Your sprites look good! Neat balance between modern accuracy and the Gen 1 style.

How about adding the Sevii Islands, or locations from the anime? Or even Johto, if that's not too much work. (You could reuse the blk files from pokecrystal.) Show how Red (or Green/Leaf) got to Mt. Silver.

New NPCs would also be nice. The Team Rocket Executives from HG/SS, the female protagonist from FR/LG, Eusine (he lives in Celadon City), anime references (I mean the kind of thing Yellow did, like the people who give you all the starters)...

Also, I agree about Gen 1 (and Gen 2) being "comfier", but Gen 1 had a bunch of battle engine glitches and unbalanced weirdness that you could fix. (Like, does *anyone* miss the 1/256 miss chance for all moves, or Focus Energy doing the opposite of what it says?)

Post horrible design flaws you've seen in ROMhacks.

One of the worst things I've ever seen was in Pokemon Adventure: Red Chapter. Every, and I mean EVERY trainer past the 8th gym has 4 full restores. It isn't even difficult, it's just tedious as hell, it becomes a game of "how can I beat this thing without getting its health to red", and it seems like every hit gets the health to red.

>>32199131
>do i need a specific version of the firered rom?
99.99% of all hacking resources for fire red are for 1.0, which IIRC is the one that doesn't say "Gamefreak presents" when booted. Some things in the later version were relocated to different parts of the ROM, so patches for 1.0 won't work on it.

That's one of the key problems with making a challenging game. Some people think over levelled gym leaders with perfect ivs and full restores makes a game difficult. Nah, it just makes that shit annoying especially when I have to constantly grind because you can't beef hooked to design a proper curve.

These are the files you can copy and rename directly:

maps/name.blk → maps/name.blk
gfx/tilesets/name.2bpp.lz → gfx/tilesets/name.2bpp
tilesets/name_metatiles.bin → gfx/blocksets/name.bst

You'll need to create tilesets/name.tilecoll yourself. I don't know how pokered collision data works, but it's different from pokecrystal's tilesets/name_collision.bin. And you'll have to modify the tilesets that use too many tiles for pokered (not many do, just things that Crystal extended like the Burned Tower or Ice Path).

Holy fucking cringe

Would you a high-level exploration game where the goal is to find all the Legendary/Mythical Pokemon? Not much of an evil team (probably just rival explorers), no gyms, lots of puzzles and dungeons, that kind of thing.

>>32204257
I guess, but I prefer having paced goals

>>32204274
Maybe it should have "tiers" of legendaries. Start out with birds, beasts, and Heatran, go on to mid-tier stuff like fairies, use "clues" from each to go on to the real god-tier Legendaries, etc.

I'm just conceptualizing here, I doubt I'll actually go very far with it.

>>32204302
Could be interesting. Especially if the legendaries each have ties to their particular locations. So it feels like exploring the world and getting to know the different people and cultures and myths, not just catching legendaries to fill the Pokédex. Eusine would work as a rival or a partner.

>>32206533
Cross sounds bad imo. Really pushes the whole Christian thing which doesn't fit the Pokémon world. Team Eden, Team Ark (Noah/"they take pokes to an unknown location") would work better. I would just avoid symbols.

>>32206861
You realize the Christian cross is one of MANNNNNNY different cross symbols, right? You do realize the cross wasn't invented by Christians?

Anybody ever do a hack of Pokemon Conquest? Or even talk about it? I got the sudden urge to try it lately because the game was just so damn easy.

>>32206978
And anyway, in the context of the story, the cross represents Empyrial, this legendary pokemon based on the Sword in Stone of Arthurian Legend. The cross references the crossguard.

>>32206978
So? The entire team is basically Christians. Team Swastika being about Germany in WW2 doesnt require the Swastika to be invented by them either (they didnt invent it)

>>32207163
Lol Did you really just tell me what MY team is? You're making assumptions man. Just chill. Just because I'm using bibilical motifs doesn't mean they're Christian.
What are you even talking about? Do you not understand motifs? I'm using broad biblical references dude. What is your grievance?
Yes, everyone knows the Swastika isn't a Nazi invention. Which validates my previous post which you clearly ignored. The cross symbol doesn't make them Christian. It's not inherently a Christian symbol. I'm not about to start a shitflinging contest over the name just because you can't separate your religious views from the cross symbol being used in any capacity other than religion. I guess a Plus sign (the title and Team Cross was a nice bit of symmetry) is also Christian huh? Is a "t" Christian as well?

I don't care about the context and believe me, I might understand what the cross reference is about (I didn't, thanks for letting me know), but would the average person do? Don't think so. Thats why Im saying "Cross" on the name is going to trigger many red flags on people that might not want to play your game if it seems to be remotely related to Christianity/any religion, really.

Why are you acting like this? You asked for feedback. Everything else seemed fine to me, except the name, so I tried to help. How am I sperging out? Im trying to be positive, point out something that I firmly believe will drag your game down, and you're replying like that. My choice of words "the entire team is basically Christians" is poor, but I believe after several explanations a normal person should be able to understand my point now.

Don't worry, I'm not replying to you anymore. Why would I? Chances are you're not even actually going to make the game, and if you are, I really don't want to know about it, now that I know the author is autistic.

Wow, two arguments in one /heg/, great thread, guys.

Look, fellas, if you put your ideas out there in the world, especially online, ESPECIALLY on 4chan, you have to accept people will not always like them, agree with them or think they're as good as you do. When someone offers you constructive criticism on something you've offered up- or even any kind of criticism- it behoves you to take it on board. Most people in this thread want everyone to make an amazing game because we love Pokémon and want more of it. Sometimes that means not saying "Yeah, man, everything you said is great!" because that doesn't help you grow as a creator.

If you aren't interested in taking heed of criticism then don't bother posting in /heg/. You don't HAVE to act on any feedback but don't throw your toys out of the pram just because the others didn't get down on their knees and praise everything. Some ideas aren't as good outside your own head, some ideas are shit. If you can't handle that in /heg/ then don't ever leave your house.

I should probably clarify that I'm the guy who always posts music ported to Gen 2's engine. I do post my junk on a forum and in the Discord, and I do receive positive remarks, but never much criticism. I always feel like I'm too complacent regarding the quality of my songs.

I suppose I could try other forums, but I don't think my type of resource would fit in the Pokécommunity resource subforum, since it's all Gen 3 stuff and the resources seem to all be distributed via patch. I'm not sure how many people on Pokécomm even know the disassemblies are a thing, and I don't know how to answer people who would want to inject it into a traditionally-hacked ROM. Maybe I'll make a thread anyway, it might get others more interested in music hacking.

To make gym leaders hard find the pokemon of the typing with OP stat spreads then give a movepool to take advantage of that and allow switching.

So i added a patch that adds gen 4-7 pokemon to the game, but it fucked up squirtle's learned moves (it has nothing as a starter) but whenever i try to open the rom in a program that lets you edit pokemon data i get these errors. is there any way to fix these errors and still keep the new pokemon?

>>32209086
Goddamn this looks incredible.
Still hate that gen 4 +gen 5 pseudo3D hacking is STILL NOT POSSIBLE!!!!

>>32209120
A lot of these kinds of patches are glitchy as hell, but I think some tools also require a special file that tells them offsets to everything so it can read the data correctly. I don't know too much about this kind of thing though.

well seeing as my evil team is focused on flying types i was planning on using kanto's three legendary birds, ho-oh and lugia and rayquaza as the main legendary pokemon of my game. they're the ones with plot importance anyways.

I'm currently playing through Umbra Moon (expanded if it matters) and I just reached the ranch so I can start breeding.

In the post for Umbra/Nova, it was mentioned there was an in game trade for a 6 IV ditto+destiny knot. Anyone know where this trade is?

Will I be a hack if I actually go though with this now that there's an official game that does it?

>>32209331
Not really. for one only certain kanto mons get to be alolan from, plus who cares where you got the idea form. it's a good idea and you should roll with it.

>>32209331
As someone who's following in Gen 7's footsteps in regards to this I am fucking terrified every day people will be anal about it and drop the whole hack over it when in my case it's not even 10% of the dex. Do it anyway. If you try real hard and let the idea morph itself into something sensible and coherent even if it changes a lot from your original concept you can at least satisfy yourself. Who knows, maybe you'll surprise yourself with the results.

>>32215649
very comfy. makes me think of games like stardew valley.

>>32215649
It feels like a radically different style, but I absolutely love it anyway. The grass might need a little work though.

>>32214986
I feel like you're focus too much on trying to emulate the effect that it fucks up the melody.

>>32215731
tall grass or long grass? Can you specify what to improve?

>>32215755
regular grass*

>>32215755
tall grass is way too blocky and square and it doesnt really feel tall compared to the rest of the overworld size

comfy otherwise

Inb4 you throw a manchild fit because you dont agree with this criticism

>>32215817
Nah because unlike the other critic, yours is actually a valid criticism. You didn't say
>HURRR I DON'T LIKE IT SO IT SUCKS

>>32215649
As others have said, it's a totally different style than the usual pokemon stuff, but that's not a bad thing. It looks good. Dreamy even. I would say the edges of your grass is too square. Other than that, kudos.
>>32215817
>>32216268

>>32215817
No this is true. I guess I was being a bit conservative by the time I got to making the tall grass because I was worried about running out of tileset space. Also was concerned about the way the player interacts with tall grass in the gab games. But I will put that aside and work something out as it is jarring with the established artstyle.

How hard is it to implement new abilities in Essentials? For instance, I want to create an ability that boosts cutting and slashing moves by 30%.

Improvement?

Also wondering if it's possible to have different wild pokemon spawn in different patches of grass on the same map in the gba games.

>>32218440
very much an improvement, good job

>>32218440
I mean, I think you'd have to set the tiles as pokemon encounters using events to have different encounters in another patch of grass.

>>32218559
oh ok. The reason was is I wanted to reward exploration more by having rarer pokemon spawn in hard to reach patches of grass.

>>32218440
I think that's been done in Gaia, IIRC there are different coloured flower patches with different Pokemon in them. Either way it'd definitely be doable with an ASM routine.

>>32218440
It's definitely possible, but nobody's done it yet to my knowledge so you'd have to code it in yourself.

I ultimately did decide to change up the section that destroyed the flow of this song, replacing the cacophonic screech in the background of the original with a delayed echo. It definitely sounds relatively better.

>>32218759
IMO that part of the song is awful in the original too, I don't think there's any way to change that while staying faithful to it. The rest of the track is amazing as always, though.

Is it possible to do cutscenes in Essentials? Shit would help my story tremendously.

You WHAAAÀAAT

>>32191705
If you want to deviate from vira-, you can check out a synonym list like this:
https://www.powerthesaurus.org/virus

So for example, words like "pathogen" and "contagion" might serve as a good stem.

There are many generic/common suffixes which sound cool in their own way (You may disagree), but probably most of them aren't exactly what you're looking for (i.e. "sounds divine").

Viralord -- Patholord -- Contagilord
Viramort -- Pathomort -- Contagimort
Viratron -- Pathotron -- Contagitron (If he's eletric)
Viragon -- Pathogon -- Contagigon (If he's dragon)
etc.

The "mort" suffix is related to death, so as edgy as you might think it is, it's actually related.

>>32227610
And before somebody says anything, yes, I was saying there could be a Virus/Electric and Virus/Dragon pokemon.

Rom hacks are the best. Unfortunately I cannot ASM and make Trainer Class based music in Fire Red, or get Sappy to work and add more music files to the game.
I am terrible at spriting too, so this is really stopping me from continuing my own hack.
The only thing I can do is XSE and a bit of mapping with the default tiles.

>>32229022
So learn! Practice the things you don't know yet. Make a crappy throwaway hack, then a less-crappy throwaway hack, and eventually your real game.

If you release a decent beta, you could probably find someone to help with spriting.

>>32237317
Gen 5 hacking is available, you just need motivation if you want to do it. Lots of motivation. Look at that beta for Light Platinum DS, someone created new maps with events and route connections and everything important in HGSS. It's absolutely doable, you just have to be prepared to solve tough challenges and possibly new frontiers that others haven't crossed yet.

Everything that can be easily done nowadays in ROMhacks, at one point, was just as far away in the POV of the first person to do it as you are from making your Gen 5 hack, and those people all succeeded.

>>32237378

I managed to take it down eventually. A good rock type was all I really needed, plus potions and antidotes to heal through the wrap and toxic damage. Thank fuck it didn't have a worse moveset than this though, rest instead of protect would've been a nightmare, or heaven forbid double team.

I shudder to think what Whitney's Miltank is going to be like now. Watch that bitch be exactly the same only with Double-Edge and maybe something like Earthquake instead of Rollout. Though it may just have Rollout since it's not like that move has gotten any less dangerous at higher levels.

So did the TPDP expansion translation ever get finished?

>>32246955
Pretty much this >>32247361. Managing the code and editing the parts of a whole makes the process much more easily customizeable and stable. It just requires assembly knowledge, and lots of patience while you sit through tons of code that barely makes sense. If you've never programmed before (or don't feel like learning z80 asm) this isn't really an option to start with. Try Essentials in that case, or start on a smaller project.

>>32247479
>f you've never programmed before (or don't feel like learning z80 asm) this isn't really an option to start with.
I'm the guy you're replying too and I don't think it requires programming knowledge at all unless you want to add custom code that would require knowing assembly either way. Everything is laid out so neatly and there are so many macros that it's just a matter of copying the existing structure of other things and changing the details to what you want (i.e. if you wanted to add a new Pokémon, you'd look where all the Pokémon data is and add another entry to each file that has the data).

>>32247499
I guess that works as well, it's just that at the point when you'll want to do things the engine doesn't already do, you're going to have a hard time getting it to do that. I don't know how Essentials works but I'd guess it makes that easier.

Talking about engines, why hasn't anyone tried to create an engine that isn't based on a slow, old version of RPG maker or a reverse engineered version of an engine with outdated mechanics?
I've been thinking I might be interested in creating a simple engine with current-gen battle mechanics (would probably look into showdown code/data for this) and a simple overworld/other essential things, mostly focussing on configurability (the ability to change the mechanics to those of any gen would be interesting, as well as different menus from each gen and such) and ease of modification. Just thinking about writing it in clean, readable C and making it scriptable with Lua gets my dick hard. Will probably never get around to it, though.
