more progress on scripting, finding bugshttps://files.catbox.moe/419sk7.mp4
>>59403181while I get this complaint, I also understand the other side.I've been working on a fire red hack and it's so much simpler to use the existing framework, region design, music etc. than make a whole new map, towns, potentially tilesets, story etc.hell I'm struggling to replace offsets and import palettes as it is, I cannot even fathom the amount of (unpaid) work that went into some of these all-time great hacks like gaia, unbound and glazedI think the key is doing it with others, if you're doing it alone it's much more difficult, even just to stay motivated
y'know, i might want to try myself at hacking the game and adding something new. how much of a challenge awaits me? my goal is to add one(1) trainer battle with new sprites. no new mons, just one battle. game: fire red
>>59403014>>59403081
>>59403290fuck, do i have to do everything on linux?
>>59403290you only have to use linux if you're using the decomp, which if you're making an amazing in-depth hack is the way to go, but simple changes can be done using toolsI wouldn't imagine it would be difficult, hex maniac advance is an amazing tool for hex editing and has a bunch of tutorials for exactly thatthe new sprites might be tough, depending on if you're making them or just taking them.I'll post a couple of resources for you:https://github.com/haven1433/HexManiacAdvance/wiki/Tutorialshttps://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/rom-hacking-tools-pack-everything-you-need-to-hack-fire-red-updated-2026.527579/
>>59403310thanks! i was just more interested in decomp hacking as it seems to be more versatile and would've allowed me to be more versatile with game also get better at programming overall
>>59403313the middle ground is using DPE/CFRU, which is a C injection that replaces the battle engine completely (but requires a bit of C)https://github.com/Skeli789/Dynamic-Pokemon-Expansionhttps://github.com/Skeli789/Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade/wiki/Windows-Installation-Instructionsobviously you can customise a fair bit here and it requires you to work with code outside ASMbut again, the decomp is the future of rom hacking (long term), it just depends what you want to accomplishadmittedly, I am at the peak of dunning-kruger here having just started (and knowing fuck all C/ASM), and obviously we have legitimate devs here so don't take everything I say as gospel haha
>>59403290You need to add a new trainer sprite, edit the trainer data of a single trainer to use the sprite and mons you want, create an event script that starts a battle with that trainer, and place that event on the map.There's quite a few steps but all of them are pretty simple to do, regardless of what tools you use.>>59403308The decomps work on windows too, but you have to install some linux tools within windows to compile them. You won't actually have to install a different operating system or use anything related to linux to make any changes to the game.>>59403313For your minimal trainer edit, you don't really benefit from the decomp at all or learn anything about programming, because that edit doesn't require any code changes. I'd recommend going with the decomp route only if you intend to make other changes too (or just want to play around with the code).With the decomps you should start with getting the project to compile on your machine by following the instructions in the INSTALL.md file, and then looking at the wiki for tutorials.
why aren't there any romhacks where you can bang the pokemilfs?

Why do gba romhacks still take seconds to save the game from the in-game menu when you can save the emulator state instantly? Is it a limitation of the system or a failsafe relic from older hardware that rom hackers just forget to modify?
Update of my Flying-type Gym (the sixth Gym of the fangame)The gym challenge is an imitation of a stealth mission: flying through a blackout/fog of war. Simulating flying through enemy lines at night.The screen is dark except for a small radius around the player. You must interact with Radar Stations (glowing green monitors) to send out a "ping." This briefly reveals the layout of the room, showing walls and the position of trainers.Moving yellow beams of light sweep across the floor. If you touch one, a Gym Trainer challenges you immediately.
>>59403394pedophile fanbase
>>59403461Emulators mimic the speed of the flash memory chips of the game cartridges, so writing save data to them within the game takes the same amount of time it would take on console. Save states have no such limitations and can be written as fast as your computer can handle.
>>59403478Thanks. That clears it up.
Why do some people have an aversion to fangames and do rom hacks only?
>>59403516Rom hacks, by nature of being an edit of an existing game, simply feel better. There's a lot of oddities in Essentials that someone who has played Pokemon for 30 years picks up on immediately. Like how the walking animation and map scrolling don't quite line up properly.
how do i trigger a battle? i set a npc with yes/no choice, trainer table has its data saved. i was looking into gym leader's scripts, but they don't seem to have a trigger for it. what do?
>>59403453Oh fuck...
>>59403538They don't load trainer data into memory and then start a battle?
>>59403538You should specify which game or engine you're talking about
>>59403548iunno, i'm clueless about that>>59403552i'm doing it on default fire red, without any modifications of it, through hex maniac advanced. i checked misty as an npc for example, there's no triggers that start a battle, only pre and after dialogs
>>59403557>single.battle.continue.silent
>>59403516part of the reason I'm doing a port of pokered, a modern rewrite that is easily expanded on without needing to use an emulator or a shitty game maker as a crutch.
>>59403516I exclusively play romhacks, because fan games just don't feel right as >>59403529 explained. I also highly appreciate the novelty of hacks working on original hardware, but more importantly I like that hacks can be played on pretty much any device, take up very little file space, and run securely inside an emulator where they can't harm my system.>>59403568Your "port" is no different from games made with essentials and won't appeal to autists like me.
>>59403579>Your "port" is no different from games made with essentials and won't appeal to autists like me.agree to disagree, some autists will inevitably like it.
>>59403589True, but I specifically meant people like me who are autistic about romhacks.
>>59403563okay, so it works! i just thought it was a script only for dialogs! still, thank you
>>59403601yeah you're right about that. As much as I want to love the idea of a port in something like Godot, the reality is that it anything made with it will never be playable on real gameboy hardware. I'm taking real care to make the feel/timings and animations as matched up to the real thing as I can, because I also hate immediately knowing I'm not playing on an authentic engine as with Essentials.
>>59403607Not the anon you replied to, but a port/recreation that actually feels authentic would go a long way, I think. The Game Boy series has a lot of limitations that could stand to be lifted or removed.But you need to actually get that feel right, which most people won't.
>>59403626good thing I'm autistic
okay, i'm almost finished, i still have some issues with after-fight text not replacing initial dialog after the battle. also, i copied if.flag... from misty's dialog and what are those 0x0297 tags? sabrina has a different one. nothing breaks, but still
>>59403774>what are those 0x0297 tags? sabrina has a different one. nothing breaks, but stillThose are flags. They correspond to 1-bit variables that are stored in the save file. They can either be "set" or "clear", and the game uses them to keep track of what the player has done so far. See https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/include/constants/flags.h for a list of flags, what they're used for and which ones are unused. You should probably pick one of the unused ones for your script.
>>59403816thank you very much, this sounds very usefulyet, i still don't get it. i set the flag, i tried multiple solutions to change the dialog after battle, yet either npc becomes in-interactable or repeats its initial dialog with choice, but skips the battle
>>59403903What is it that you're trying to do?
>>59403925a battle with trainer. firstly they ask you if you want to battle through yes/no box, if yes, a battle starts, after a battle section 0 dialog should be replaced with section 3 dialog
>>59403516>hey man run this random exeAnd if you play a lot of them that's tons of random exes you're just running like a little kid. I don't care enough to figure out if it's actually harmless or not.
Does anyone here know where to get old Devkit versions
>>59403933I still don't quite get it, but I think you want to be able to battle the trainer more than once? For that you need to clear their trainerflag in the script, because the trainerbattle command itself checks whether the trainer has been battled and moves onto the next command if they have already been defeated.
>>59403961Which ones do you need and why?
>>59403972no, i need a one-time battle, the problem is, is that after a defeat its dialog doesn't change and remain yes/no box, but after answering yes, there's no battle sequence, just saying
>>59403977I am trying to edit larvitar's moveset so that it learns dragon dance at level 40. Apparently you need devkit arm 65 or something
# pokeredpc v0.6.0A native PC port of Pokémon Red (pret/pokered) in Godot 4.7 — not an emulator. The game data isextracted from the disassembly and the engine reimplemented natively, aiming for a faithful 1:1recreation (that's what "1.0" will mean).**This first release is beatable end-to-end** — Pallet Town through all 8 gyms, Victory Road, theElite Four and the Champion, to the Hall of Fame.What's in:- Full battle engine: every move effect, status, stat stages, crits/DVs, evolution, trainer battles, in-battle items- All 8 gym leaders, the Elite Four, and the rival/Giovanni fights- All 5 HMs: Cut, Fly (town warp), Surf, Strength (boulders), Flash (dark caves)- The whole mid-game: S.S. Anne, Rocket Hideout Silph Scope, Pokémon Tower Poké Flute Snorlax, Silph Co (Master Ball)- Systems: saves, Pokécenter healing, wild + surf encounters, the Pokédex, marts + the player's PC, fishing, the bike, the Day Care, TM/HM teaching- Audio: GB 4-channel music, 151 SFX, 151 cries, plus the full boot/title sequence- 223 maps + 24 tilesets extracted from pokered; ~41 automated tests passingStill to come before 1.0: the Safari Zone minigame, the Saffron gate, the Game Corner slots, a polishpass (Hall of Fame credits, move/field animations, per-move SFX), and a full faithfulness audit.

>>59404017thanks
>>59403453How many decades until it's fully finished?
I've been playing the challenge mode of Recharged Yellow and Recharged Emerald. Is it just me or is the challenge mode not all that challenging before the Elite Four? I cheesed through most of the game.
Wasn't the creator of Plaguemon making a sequel or something? Is there any update on that?
i'm still sitting here, thinking why i can't solve >>59403903
>>59404277is recharged emerald good i dont think all hacks should be radical reddit level of difficulty and elite 4 being hard sounds nice
>>59404394What is the flag in your script for?
>>59404412that the battle is over (i guess? i think i did it right)
>>59404396hmm i just beat the first gym on challenge mode with combusken with level cap and i just spammed ember and double kickdoes seem a bit easy
>>59404415You don't need a flag or a check for that. As >>59403972 said, every trainer already has a trainerflag that the trainerbattle command is checking for, and the command doesn't start the battle if the trainer has already been defeated.
>fakemonsI will not play your gaem.
>>59404429okay, i see a change. the question box still appears, but after i choose "yes" it plays the defeat message. now what?
I JUST WANT A LARVITAR WITH DRAGON DANCE IN HEART AND SOUL WITHOUT HAVING TO BREEEEEEED
>>59404438what is it supposed to do when you select yes?
>>59404439Were you able to compile the ROM before making any changes to it?
>>59404445nothing. after defeat, instead of question box, post-battle message replaces it. it was supposed to work like picrel i switched between if.trainer.defeated, if.flag.set/clear, the results are the same
Starting polished crystal, anything I need to know?
>>59404455>instead of question boxSo you don't want to show a yes/no box when talking to the trainer after defeating them. In that case you should have a conditional goto ("if.trainer.defeated" I'm guessing) before the yes/no message box, that jumps to a script that just displays the post-battle message.
>>59404464It's not Shabbat, Shaunie. I thought we agreed to meet then?
>>59404477Aww, Shaunie. I know you're parents didn't take well to you coming out of the closet but I thought that was very brave of you.

# pokeredpc v0.8.0The full main quest + Kanto side content have been in since 0.6/0.7. **v0.8.0 is an infra + polishpass** — a few extractor additions that each unlock a faithfulness win:- **Town Map**: the real Kanto map (composited from the original RLE tilemap). View it from the bag's TOWN MAP — UP/DOWN cycle the locations with a blinking cursor + name. Daisy hands it over once you have the Pokédex.- **Per-move attack SFX**: every move now plays its own sound (from the original MoveSoundTable, with its pitch), instead of one shared hit sound.- **Dark-cave spotlight**: dark caves now show the Gen-1 circle of light around you (black beyond it) rather than a flat dim; FLASH still lights the whole floor.- **Water encounters fixed**: shared wild tables now resolve, so Route 19/20's surf encounters (previously lost) are back.Known remaining work before 1.0: the Seafoam current puzzle, the Route 23 badge checkpoints, ascrolling Hall-of-Fame credits roll, field/move animations, and a broader faithfulness audit. TheSilph Co card-key door lock is shelved — those door tiles aren't present in the extracted maps.--I will spend a lot of time today looking for any remaining inconsistencies, bugs, game feel issues, etc. I would say there are no major or game breaking bugs, just small things that keep it from being perfect.

>>59405934What would be a good name for it though?
The eggs still randomized in polished yeah?
turns out i have to assign a text color to an overworld sprite too. dammit. anyone know where i can change this?
I think I finally got the walking feel down to a T
>>59406266too fast
>>59406266I recommend comparing it side-to-side with the game running on emulator and just walking left to right and up to down on both. like 1 gif of walking from the left side of the map to the right from both games, and another gif of doing it from up to down or down to up or whatever and things like that.
>>59406256You're the firered anon? In that game you would use a scripting command to change text color,
>>59406301is it the ONLY way? because premade npcs have their text color set with them i.e sabrina has red text by default
>>59406297>>59406300It's actually just a hair too slow compared to the emulator
>>59406302Oh you're right, there is also a table that assigns genders to overworld sprites: https://github.com/pret/pokefirered/blob/master/src/dynamic_placeholder_text_util.c#L9
>>59406321i see, but its for decomp coding, i'm using HMA and atm i'm watching slowest brit alive explaining overworld npcs and HIS npc has gender colored text
Tada! i'm not very happy with the overworld sprite and that pallet on battle sprite didn't included white color...and that i couldn't find a way to align her text color with overworld sprite and had to rely on cheaper method, but still, for a first hack its very okayhttps://files.catbox.moe/ztr497.mp4 - iono boss
>>59406448video cut off for me around ~4 mins but very cool to see you get it working. what do you plan to do next?
>>59406448not bad, i think the mostly black outline around her makes it stand out. like if you look at the sprite for red and the npc with the hat they don't have a mostly black outline, the npc with the hat has a darker yellow around the yellow hat and darker purple around the purple shirt instead of just black (on the side sprite), the outlines of their face are a darker skin tone instead of just black, red has a darker red around the outline of the hat and that kind of thing. i think the main thing for the iono overworld sprite that makes it kind of stand out is that her outline is mostly just black. but both of the npcs have some black pixels around their shoulder's arms to out line those. and for the battle sprite it's kind of the same deal, it's mostly just outlined with a lot of black like way more black outline than anything else in the game although you didn't make it a 100% black outline for any of it, I still think you could probably have less black for the outlines if you want it to fit in more.
Ngl this whole messing with roms stuff made me realize how much of a noob i am when it comes to programming. Even chatgpt laughed at me for trying to write a makefile code in WSL

>>59404930okay so now im at gym 8 and the gym leaders are actually annoying watson i was very close to save scumming, liza and tate are horrible and i had to go to mirage island and had to use wobby from mirage island, but some of the gym leaders and main campaign are terribly easy i think it's very dependent on your starter and team. i chose blaziken and swampert would have been leagues better
>>59407802Yep, the devil's in the details.
>messing with pokemon stats, attack values or types at allYeah don't. No one gives a shit about your heckin balance changes. Implement qol updates, trainer and gym pokemon changes and whatever the fuck story you want but don't touch the actual pokemon themselves unless you're willing to commit to creating entirely new fakemon. Clover did it right.
>>59407923mostly agree. the one thing I think it's fine to change is evolution levels. because a lot of evolutions are balanced around the games Pokemon first appeared in, like all the Unova mom's that evolve in their 50s because you don't find them until the lategame. if you want to introduce a Pokemon like Rufflet earlier in your game, it doesn't make any sense for it to evolve in the 50s for example.
what's the deal with Reborn
>>59408194The writer is a very edgy boi.
>>59408194Bunch of autistic teenagers had an online roleplaying group where they were gym leaders and shitAs they got older some of them made a fangame, basing characters on the personas of the group and events on unhinged roleplay drama. That was long ago and the game became huge and very refined since, it is now genuinely great (if still missing a lot of modern QoL) but the cringe elements remain.
>>59408099As for gameplay the main features are>it's hard>it's long (18 gyms)>low mon availability early on; no route 1 magikarp to stomp the game with; make do with your starter and shitmons till like gym 5 >gyms and bosses have field effects that make their teams overpowered>bossmons that aren't all that strong but sometimes you have to fight them within a trainer battle>sidequests are important and often the only way to get some mons, yet there is no quest log and they're often hidden>some really annoying puzzles>password system added in a late update that lets you customize mechanics / difficulty / qol (cheat codes lowkey)Great game recommend
>>59407872elite 4 members were harder than the champion, who just got swept by electric movesweird hack4/10
>>59408344Interesting. I'm heading to Shade's power plant now and it definitely is scratching the itch. The cringe (at least so far) at least feels appropriate and not out of place. Self aware in a way.
are there any good newish romhacks that arent demos
>>59408502No
# pokeredpc v0.9.15**v0.9.1–0.9.12: the playtest waves.** A full playthrough started filing bugs; 27 are fixed,most verified pixel-by-pixel against reference screenshots of the real game:- **Every menu rebuilt to reference parity**: party (real `:L`/`HP:` tiles, the Gen-1 HP pill bar, animated icons that bounce faster at low HP), the summary pages, the Pokédex list + data screen with working DATA/CRY/AREA/QUIT, the Mart (BUY/SELL/QUIT, MONEY box, stacked overlays), the battle item box, options, and the trainer card.- **The whole game renders in BGB's palette** — 96% exact-RGB against the references.- Prompts type out fully before the YES/NO pops; the nurse's healing machine animates with its chimes and jingle; the catch ceremony (dex entry + nickname) stays on the battle screen.- The camera sits at the GB's off-centre spot, Viridian's lag is gone, memory dropped from 400+ MB to ~250 MB, and holding Space turbos the game 4× for playtesting.**v0.9.13–0.9.15: the engine sweeps**, auditing the mechanical core against the asm:- **Move effects: 100% coverage** (RAGE was the last gap).- **The Gen-1 trainer AI is in** (it was uniform random): per-class move choice + all 19 item handlers — Brock FULL HEALs, Misty throws X DEFENDs, Lorelei chugs SUPER POTIONs.- **Stat experience (Gen-1 EVs)** — every KO feeds the victors' pools; teams grow like a real cartridge run.- **Catching is ItemUseBall verbatim**: all four ball kinds (Great/Ultra/Master did nothing before!), status bonuses, 0–3 wobbles with the authentic texts. **Vitamins work** too.The full playthrough toward the 1.0 sign-off continues.
not really rom hacking but i been playing with a modded 3ds, do you guys prefer pkhex over pksm? cuz pksm feels omega clunky and manually setting a legit mon its kinda annoying, even with the url thingy which only just tells you whats wrong with the pokemon when you can just automatically do it from pkhex i feel like im missing something here
does cobblemon with fakemon packs count for this general
>>59408344that explains so much about it
is there a sinnoh romhack that like, adds new features and qol but isn't also the hardest shit known to mankind
>>59408884i'd say so, this is probably the only place where you can discuss cobblemon datapacks without having troons on your assi've been checking out project lazuli personally and it's alright, just alright, well-documented thoughtoon's fakemons are honesty pretty neat on account of all actually having a lovecraftian theme
Will beta 2 ever come out?
>>59408973I mean there's platinumqol which is pretty much just the vanilla game with qol and a few things like following Pokemon. it might be *too* vanilla for you though.
>>59407683at what point will you switch to the decomps?from what I know the decomps (particularly pokeemerald) is much easier to work with than binary once you get it set up properlysorry for being pushy with all these questions, I'm a beginner and I'm interested in following your journey. all I've really done is add patches and some basic repointing, but you've actually created and implemented your own overworld and battle sprites which is cool
>>59407701what did you end up changing? was it as simple as changing the level up moveset and recompiling, or did you have to change a config file?
>game grades you for boss fights>sells stuff like remote PC and toggleable repel for these pointsis this based or cringe
>>59409284cringe
>pokemon talking >as if they have a PhD in multiverse theoryleaning towards cringe on this one
>>59409339It's Dialga, the literal embodiment of time, not a Route 1 Rattata.
>>59409386>>59409339I fucking hate the idea of literal gods being dumb animals. Yes, they should have above human intelligence.
>>59408344The best line in the game was written in 2022>Here in this sacred womb... I am the abortion
>>59409212maybe when i realize that HMA wouldn't be enough for my goals. i also want to study a theory a bit, get some of my questions answered to not spend my time on pointless research. i'm viewing everything through perspective of making a bigger game, so i'll just stick with minor experiments. guess that's all i can say about my great plan
>>59409568A bigger game will be much easier with a decomp, and it's always better to learn sooner than later.
>>59408344>Bunch of autistic teenagers had an online roleplaying group where they were gym leaders and shitClose, but not exactly.A Troon made an annual Pokemon League for teens to play through Pokemon Showdown in an RP fashion, structured like the Gym Leader Castle Marathon where you run through the gauntlet with one team only (like you do in official tournament). Said troon ran the whole thing, as the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four, and the Champion where all played by them. Later they were pressed to make a game based off of those RP interactions and that's how Pokémon Reborn the fangame came to be.
>>59409547fun fact, Lin was actually based off of a Godmodder that gave the troon so much trouble in the past. They intended to have her killed off permanently until one of the devs convince them otherwise.
>>59409504No. .
>>59409547I won't pretend that the line in a vacuum doesn't go extremely hard.
>>59410064haha vacuum get it?
>>59407239You're doing a bit better than me at the moment, my computer's in a fucking blue screen loop and everything I try either doesn't work or gets ruined by another blue screen, and I don't have a memory stick that's after I started both things I'm doing unless I can pull my files out of the SSD or something.
>>59403014havent been keeping up with the scene lately, anything that isnt a waste of time to add to the doc?
>>59407923i just edit unevolved pokemon to be as good as evolved ones when i want to use them on my team
Why aren't there more Gen 1 hacks that fix the abysmal movepools?
Essentials is such a piece of shit software with broken plugins that won't work if you want to make something that's not just stuck with gen 1-3 Pokémon
>>59410414buy an ad
>>59409002this is kinda interesting, but i have like 600 additional mons + digimon so i'm not really worried about things like that. my main issues with cobblemon outside of dedicated modpacks is lack of things other than wild pokemon to actually fight>radical trainers has faggot ass level caps that are hard to work around because of shitty trainer spawn rates>can still catch pokemon above said level caps that become unusable>cob gyms crashes the games a ton>raids mod is just okay>legendary spawns have a lot of hoops depending on which mod you use>if i dont want any of the above i HAVE to play on a dedicated serveri tried playing on the /vp/ixelmon server for a bit, but there haven't been any exciting tournament formats and the actual minecraft aspect is so watered down it may as well not exist. they also have the issue of no trainers, but at least tournaments was something and yeah trannies everywhere
>>59410464yeah cobblemon still has a long way to go before it's feature complete. like from what i've been seeing, right now they're working on recruitable NPCs and legendary dens that might or might not have unique rules like how alphas do.aside from that though i'm looking forward to the TM machines.at some point in time though if i can think of in-battle effects for the EVs/nature/IV items i wanna dump all that shit and have tectonic mechanics
>>59410470a lot of features that cobblemon is missing are already available through other mods. all pokemon + forms, legendaries, tms, bottle caps, basically everything except dedicated trainers can be achieved with another mod already which begs the question as to why its taking so long
>>59407923>Follow my autism!No lol
>>59410472because they are really really autistic about what gets approved, like it's a lot of dudes making pokemon and animations for the official mod but like 1 guy filtering it allautism be damned though they can make a good mod even if it takes 5 fucking years
>>59410414i thought there were
I've never modded a rom myself. How hard is it replace a romhack's version of the battle music with the original music of the base rom? I started playing Pokemon Odyssey and while I like it, the high pitched battle music is driving me nuts.
