Fully animated battle sprites. Too bad ROM hacks can't do this. :)

>>33372496
They can and have though? At least put bait on the hook next time, have a pity (you).

>>33372518

Show me a romhack with fully animated fakemon. I'll wait.

Pathetic. As expected from a ROM hacker fag.

>>33372621
Okay then, post a completed essentials game with a full dex of fakemon, all full animated.

What is your favorite stupid hack? Knife Version is fun just to mess around with.

>>33372665
Why does it have to be completed when you can't even provide a partial romhack that has fully animated fakemon? Your bias is showing, ROM hacker fag.

Imagine being so autistic that you come to a general thread based around something only to complain about it.

>>33373091
You mean all those ROM hackers complaining about Essentials games? I know, it's ridiculous.

>romhacks can't have animated sprites
>>yes they can, and many do
>SHOW ME A ROMHACK WITH FAKEMON
>>no one likes fakemon, and romhackers know this
>NO ANIMATED FAKEMON MEANS ROMHACKS ARE BAD HAHA

Now this is autism.

Wow, you didn't even remove your moving of the goalposts in your own recap.
You might wanna delete your post and try again, lest we all think you're a shitposter.

>>33373169
Cool, thanks

>>33373174
No goalposts were moved, ROM hacking fag. I said animated sprites can't be implemented into ROM hacks. And now you're proving that they can't be implemented and instead you can only just use what's already in the game. Seeing BW sprites carbon copied because ROM hacking is shitty and limited isn't seeing MORE of something. It's seeing the same old shit over and over. I know it must be hard for you to imagine actual new original content, but please try.

>>33373306
that is the summation of it, yes

>>33373155
Those waterfalls will never be seen. Trim the map edges so they just have the playable area.

>>33373121
Some more of those smaller rocks strewn carelessly around the area will make it look much more organic and less intentionally designed.

>>33372363
I'm planning on doing a small Gen2 hack where it's future Johto with new leaders and E4 and slightly new mapping and some of the same NPCs but older (i.e. Cooltrainer Joey with a Raticate). I dunno, just came up with the concept a few hours ago

>>33373433

Sorry for coughing some life into the thread

>>33373620
We'll forgive you... this time.

Does anyone have a minute to baby me through compiling pk3ds? I thought I could just open the .sln in SharpDevelop and hit build but I get the following error:

The target "Build" does not exist in the project. (MSB4057) - pk3DS.Core.csproj

I have both pk3ds.core and pk3ds projects within the current solution though. When compiling from github do you usually have to fiddle a bit before you build?

>>33372363
Is OP's pic from a game? Which rom hack is it?

>>33373433
Sounds like fun! What are your future-Johto plans?

Is it worth to try Dark Energy even if it isn't still completed?
I'm playing Bronze right now but I'm about to finish it.

>>33374773
Someone sprited it last thread.

>>33373169
Have they started working on any of the unfinished content yet or is it still polishing what's there?

And my most recent one, from last thread.

>>33375642
Not sure. From the changelogs, it looks like they've just been doing mostly bugfixes and occasionally changing up moves and simple mechanics. However, having cracked open Prism in crowdmap, I saw that Faraway Island was planned. And since games like Polished Crystal and even Red++ have included that, I don't see why they can't finish it.

Which is more fluid? Essentials or a GSC rom?

>>33375745
GSC rom. Essentials is designed to appear like the more modern generations, anyway.
Use the disassembly.

>>33375745
Essentials.

>>33375778
>>33375792
yes

>>33375225
Aside from new boss NPCs, maybe have like a former Rocket admin start a new evil team with larger scale ambitions but not like world domination. I don't know if I wanna add newer gen evos and Fairy type because I've never done a non-difficulty gen 2 hack and I want this to just be a small side thing while I work on my main squeeze

If you can revisit Kanto, you should make a building in Vermillion where that guy has been plotting land for the past like 20 years

>>33375878
Excellent fire-type habitat.

>>33375745
Fluid as in performance or fluid as in being to actually do whatever you want?

If it's the latter then definitely Essentials. It runs into performance issues if you use a lot of map connections though.

>>33375921
It's the former. The craziest thing I'll try to do will be random mons for a PWT-type facility, if I can't do that then fuck it, I just want to recreate GSC's atmosphere.

>>33375987
It gives you much more freedom to do what you please than the very antiquated gen 2 tools that are out there.

Dear anons, what do you do when all the good and relatively easy to execute ideas have been taken?

>>33377214

The digits command that we all stop doing romhacks.

>tfw Skeetendo is dead as fuck
I haven't played a good GSC rom hack in a long while.

>>33375945
If you're interested in Gen 2 mainly for its aesthetics then you definitely want to go with ROMhacking. "GS Essentials" is pure shit and doesn't follow the aesthetic limitations of the Game Boy hardware at all. It's on par with those """retro""" indie games with no rhyme or reason to what style they want, except those can still sometimes look good on their own like Shovel Knight.

>>33377222
Essentials won't give me a good idea and I don't like how it emulates the newer games, I'd rather stick to Gen 3, there's a lot you can do to make it feel comfier.

so i see the OP has notable romhacks, but where are the notable essentials games? the essential essentials?

>>33378985
Start with pokémon reborn. That'll give you a good idea of what to expect.

>>33378985
See >>33372496

>>33379107

>>33379863
how is pokemon insurgence? it looks like it finally got finished

>>33379951
I haven't tried it, but i would wholeheartedly recommend the non-edgy version.
because from what I've seen, it almost puts reborn to shame.

>>33378985
There really aren't any. The very few Essentials games that look worthwhile (like Sage) aren't anywhere close to finished.

so is there a romhack with every region yet?

>>33380935
No, because it would be terrible.

>>33380994
Seconded.
Can you imagine the level curve?

I don't know if this goes here but it seems the moat decent place to ask. I'm planning on buying a powersave, so I wanted to ask, which version is the best?

I'm playing Glazed and the levels seem like bullshit to me. The highest level you can find in the wild before the island after the first gym is ~10 and there are trainers with Pokemon like a level 20 Floatzel and a Gible with Dragon Rage. Am I missing something?

>>33381068

Why would you buy a powersave? 3DS can be CFW'd and then you can extract and edit your saves, all for free

>>33381554
No. Glazed has horrible distribution. The distribution and abundance of overleveled enemies makes me feel like I'm playing Snakewood. But much like Snakewood, I'm tempted to give myself a decent team of six so I can actually beat it

How far can you go with hacking Gen 4/5?

>>33379957
there's a version specifically made to not be edgy?

>>33379863
The protagonists there still look bad. But that can be easily changed.

>>33382010

I'm not happy with how the arms turned out, but I was inspired to make something like the Dawn.

I won't post about it in this thread because it's tangential at best, but we're doing work on a mod to intermesh many Pokemon's evolution trees in this thread: >>33375081
Any of you who are interested or who know about messing with Universal Pokemon Randomizer's source code should check it out.

>>33378985
Romhacks have had a good 10 year start on essentials so most of them are just flat out unfinished. Soon™. Maybe forever.

Not bad. Compare to this person's attempt: https://blckwh.deviantart.com/art/Pokemon-Hilbert-and-Hilda-Devamp-375230994. There might even be one on Skeetendo, but I'm not sure.

A Grand Day Out is pretty dumb but I like it

I usually update my 3DS so if I'm not mistaken I can't CFW it. Still I'd like to know about the powesave.

>>33382384
Well...It's good, but there's a bit of banding on the pants, you should try to break up your lines more. His face also needs a little more shading and details...You could try referencing Kris or some of the newer sprites to see what you can do to make it look better.

Quick question about AdvanceMap and Leafgreen
>obligatory "new to rom hacking"
I'm trying to use AM to add wild pokemon to a section of the cave in Navel Rock
After I'm done I click the save button on the top left. When I try moving on to another section of Navel Rock I get a prompt asking me to "Save wild Pokemon data?" and I click "Yes"
When I go back to the section I was working on, as it turns out, the wild pokemon data I added wasn't actually saved
I understand the basics of this program but I'm pretty stumped as to why this happens. Anyone know what I could do to fix this?
I get the same results for both Leafgreen versions 1.0 and 1.1

>>33373275
>Incredibly Edgy Story
what do you mean by this

>>33382846
repoint the wild data. also, use 1.92

>>33383050
>also, use 1.92
I was using AM version 1.95 and going back to 1.92 seems to have fixed the issue
Thanks man, didn't think solving it would be that simple

>>33383283
No problem. You should never use 1.95, it's quite buggy and unstable.

Why was there never a simple hgss romhack that made you play kanto first and have johto as postgame?

>>33383351
No one cared enough.

>>33382846
Don't use leaf green, you get left out on a lot of tools, tutorials, and information. Just fix the pokemon data and insert the leaf green title over the fire red one if it bothers you that badly.

>>33382917
I know it's TV tropes, but they go into exhaustive detail about the "nightmare fuel" aka really edgy shit

Was there a release version?

>>33383351
There's Heart Red, but it's probably never getting finished.

>>33380354
There's a few decent ones.
Reborn, Uranium, Zeta, Infinite Fusion, Phoenix Rising to name a few.

>>33384099
Phoenix Rising isnt released in any form, infinite fusion is garbage. Anyways here's a real list >>33380354

There's also a bunch of mini essentials games (completed, short playtime) done for the relic castle game jam. I think there's been 2 of those events so I'd probably just play the ones that won since they'd probably be pretty solid. I played Pokemon Pantheon from the game jam, which was pretty fun despite the graphics not being great.

Also I realize half of these are demos, but they're fun and worth playing.

>>33386469

Yeah, but it gives a pretty good look at how shittily edgy the story is. if they think it's 'scary,' it's probably just disgustingly edgy, like the nuke scenes

>>33387960

just make it a standard pokemon game with the main character challenging the pokemon league and have him stumble upon a group of scientists that want to replicate mewtwo; they should be substitutes for an evil team

Is there a way to change the starters in mystery dungeon red?
I tried it in the past but the game always crashed.

>>33388011
Read some stories that aren't Pokemon-related. Consider making a game that isn't about getting badges.

There's a lot of stuff you can do involving Mewtwo but you're gimping yourself if you only want to make a game that's about going on a journey.

I'm trying hard not to sperg out but I'm sick of all these fangames about the Pokemon League.

>>33383351
Anniversary Crystal is the best ur gonna get

>>33383351
If it's so simple, then why don't you do it?

any romhack / fangame that actually has you in an evil team?

>>33389785
Well it's already not about getting badges, since there is no pokemon league in my game. That's why I feel like I really need a decent plot line to make up for the lack of guideline created by gyms.
>>33389698
I don't think I should involve Mewtwo at all, going for Mewthree really feels unoriginal to me.

>>33389926
There are a bunch where you get to play as Team Rocket, only one I've tried was Apollo, pretty short but still fun.

What's the best crystal disassembly base to use for making a new region? I see the vanilla one, TPPcrystal, and even games like Orange (since it already replaced the gear with a town map) hosted on github. But I'm not sure of the standards of using someone's disassembly game files to make another one (i.e., using Orange). Is it bad form?

>>33390478
If they have public source code, it's implicitly okay to build off that. We're all doing the same thing with the years of work put into pokecrystal (by both Game Freak and the disassembly team).

>>33390478
I would suggest Orange for a new region, as long as you don't care about the features it's removed (Pokégear, Battle Tower, GB Printer support, animated sprites, the two-page eight-badge Trainer Card... although those last two should be pretty easy to add back in). The code already has bugfixes for Crystal's various bugs, it has optimizations to save space, you can use 240 tiles and 256 metatiles per tileset, and it'll be easier to remove its few maps than all the ones that are in pokecrystal.

What makes a route great for you ?

>>33390712
I like short routes that are quick to traverse through with an interesting side-area. Long routes are fine near the endgame and if they have rest stops.

>>33382384
Does the NK stand for North Korea? He'd fit in just fine there with that haircut.

>>33391242
I'm guessing. In past threads NK Anon's filenames always had NK in them, so he's pretty easy to spot

Are there guides for using the disassemblies?

The hair is way better, in my opinion. Not either of them, by the way. The original hair looks too round, like someone glued tiny hula hoops to her head.

The hair looks slightly better at the cost of being bowlegged and having a horribly misshapen Popeye arm on one side and a tiny CLAMP noodle on the other.

Heya, can anyone help me with my gen 3 hack?

I know that if you give an NPC a flag, and then that flag is set with a script, they disappear forever, but how do I get the opposite to happen? I want an NPC to stay hidden until a certain script is set.

only problem is how would I stretch the game to make it atleast medium length. Since it's basically a post apocalyptic region things like gym leaders or trainers would be uncommon

You need to put bosses in, which could be anything from wasteland gangs to feral pokemons, like SM did. Basically stuff that is not just gym badges.

>>33395144
Do you have to lengthen it? You know there is a lot of potential for a shorter game that wraps things up in a nice way.

You know what I'd love? If you made the game Johto-only, and built a game around that region.

Do it in a fallout sort of way were the infected are like ghouls but who challenge you to battles and it may be interesting, and make it short if you don't have enough material to make it medium or long, between a good enough short game and a long boring game people always choose the short one

But I've heard they can't work with gsc, is this true?

Sorry, this wasn't helpful
The animation/frame data for Spiritomb doesn't exist. Each Pokemon has its own, and every set is different, so one needs to be made for Spiritomb

That's why I was wondering if anyone here knew how. Spiritomb is in Pokemon Prism, so there's animation/frame data for it, but it's not accessible on the GitHub

Go to the types.txt file in the PBS folder and add in the resistances you want in the "Resistances=" line

>>33399631
I don't have a "types.txt" file
I don't have a PBS folder either

I've already made the type chart how I want in the "type_matchup.asm" file, but it keeps giving me the same error of the section being too big

retarded question
how do you add more tiles to an existing tileset in essentials?

>>33400039
Expand the tileset vertically in an image editing program.

>>33399730
Ignore him, he's an Essentials shitposter.
I'm not too knowledgeable about this but you can create a new section and just put the type chart in there, I'm not sure if it'll fit but I assume the chart by itself doesn't take up 100% of that section's space.

>>33399379
Well, I was thinking about it, and since the engine can only have like 255 pokemon, and I know prism had to replace pokemon to get them to fit. Which pokemon did spiritomb replace?

>>33397648
Compare what you're doing with the file in polished crystal's code, because I know they added the fairy type somehow. I would imagine it's the same principle, no?

>>33400396
Tried to put just the type chart in it's own section and it makes the game crash when you select a move during battle

I'm assuming there are things calling on the type_matchup.asm and when it's stored within a different bank the rom gets confused

>>33400926
The hack I'm working on also has Fairy type. It's actually a hack of TTPAC (didn't change anything, just added more detail like custom menu sprites for every mon, added a couple new mons, trainers, made more items accessible, etc). It's a matter of adding more resistances to existing types. But adding too many takes up too much space.

And, of course, are you willing to buy/pirate RPG Maker XP?

>>33412050
No fakemon, tho custom moves might be cool, portability could be cool but is not a must, i just want people to be able to enjoy the game, id be willing to pirate fucking anything

>>33412073
Well, it's easier to do custom moves with essentials. Try to keep your mind open to both options, because while it's simpler to use essentials, the lag is pretty bad.
The best way to determine it for yourself is to try an essentials game for yourself.

>>33411848

Not really. Almost all of them just look like shitty knock offs of official games.

>>33413774
Uh, no. Most gen 1/2 hacks look identical or even better than the official games, appearance-wise. Meanwhile, essentials game that try to look like gen 4/5 look like cheap, shitty knock offs because they can't into 3D.

However, if you're saying that most gen 3 hacks look like shitty knock offs of the official games, well, then I guess I'll give you that.

>>33413853
>look identical

That's the problem. ROM hackers are creatively bankrupt and lack originality. Meanwhile with good Essentials games it feels like I'm playing an original game.

Been working on a rom hack for Crystal where everything takes place at a medieval setting. Main plot is you get drafted into fighting a war. Gym leaders are replaced with faction lords and the gyms have become huge dungeons similar to the battle pyramid in emerald. Hms are replaced entirely, by making the main character do all the work since he is a warrior.

>>33416480
Sounds BL edgy. Depends on how you plan on interpreting "war" in Pokémon.

It is edgy but I felt like for that setting, it makes sense. Pokemon are treated like tools by everyone since the main objective is to command and conquer. Some pokemon are unfortunately killed and used as armor or weapons in this game's lore.

>>33416621
Meh, it's not really the killing part; that's been a thing in Pokémon since 1. And SM threw away all euphemisms when it flat out said, "Yeah, he died in a car crash."

If you stick to the type of ancient/medieval war expressed in XY, you should be fine.

It's hard to tell what you were even working on just based off your posted script

Did the post I linked not show up? I was trying to get the script used in Polished Crystal that makes the danger beep stop after playing 4 times to work. When I put got it working, the music channel that was muted for the beeps didn't start playing again.

>>33418109
Your post link isn't working. Probably gone

>>33418117
Weird. I'll copy-paste it.

So I'm trying to make it so that the low health sound only plays a few times and then stops like in the newer games. I looked at the code for Polished Crystal as I know that hack does the same thing. I copied the code into my "audio/engine.asm" file, and it works. Mostly.

Now I'm getting a problem that when the sound stops playing, Channel 1 doesn't start playing the song's notes again. After my Pokemon faints, the music changes back to normal. The same thing happens when I run away. Any idea what's causing the issue?

I don't think a war is an inherently edgy topic, certainly no more than organized crime. If you try to make it all ~gritty and mature~ rather than like a heroic saga type of thing that's I think when it becomes edgy.

Should I use Prism as a base because I want the 60fps and animated sprites? But polished crystal has natures and abilities.

>>33419506
Prism has abilities. Just fuck it to natures. They cause spergs to waste time on an extra 10% to their Pokemon's attack

>>33418744
Pretty sure these wouldn't be able to be used at all.
The limit for GB/GBC Pokemon sprites is black, white, and two colors.
The entire Rowlet line breaks that limit, as well as Incineroar and Primarina.
