So again, is 31 too late to get into ROMhacking? Asking for a friend. Is there anyone here as old as me?
>>59558621Why would it be too late? Are you on your deathbed right now?
>>59558621No, go for it man. I was older when I started with essentials.
>>59558621based retard
>>59558621I'm 40 years old.
>>59558597I love my wife Green and Green Essentials is the best romhack ever. I may just move to godot because lowpoly models are easier to make than ds sprites
i like pogeymens on my fone
>>59559185Virtual buttons suck on android
>>59559050>Green Essentials>best romhack everRetard
>>59559261>posts Midori>This triggers tsunderanon’s incel rageWhy cant you be happy for us that we made the best fangame ever?
>>59559295>best fangame ever>literally nothing playableSure schizo
>>59559308No Rejuvenation is schizopost nonsense
>>59559316At least it's a PLAYABLE game unlike your delusion
>>59559327Don't argue with green. He's mind broken because his GF who cosplayed as Green for him became a man and left him.
Honestly, I am bothered by enemies using moves that are only obtainable through TMs, move tutors, etc. It just feels wrong. These moves used to feel unique. You could only obtain like one Icebeam or Thunderbolt in the good games and it meant making meaningful choices and sticking with them. Sure, you could make mistakes but it never meant crippling yourself. I call it what it is, unlimited TMs are cheats and ruin the game. From that point, the game turns into the dreadful thing "pro nuzlockers" want Pokemon to be: a series of level-capped gauntlet battles that expects you to use rare candies.
>>59559412fair point honestly, most modern mons have passable to good level up movepools (and even some egg moves could be considered) but just slapping TM moves and post-game move tutor shit is kind of annoying
>>59559431>>59559412Granted in the older gens TM moves coukd be transferred in the same way egg moves do so it was more convenience than anything besides burning TMs on legendaries i suppose
I hate the concept of a "post-game" and I don't understand why fan developers continue this awful trend. There's never anything meaningful left do and it feels bleak. Whatever effort is put into this post-game should be part of the main game with balance adjustments.
>>59559412It’s only an issue if it’s Egg Moves to me. Otherwise I take actual thought into the move pools instead of the last 4 level up moves with maybe a Gym’s TM. Especially rivals who challenge gyms like you but rarely use TMs (if ever).
>>59559499What difference does it make if the content is before or after the credits?
>>59558621Yeah it's too late. You're basically a senior. Don't bother doing anything. Of course not you stupid prick. Why the fuck would it be "too late"? What exactly is stopping you? The only thing holding you back is your attitude, not your age. Stop acting like an old fucking man at death's door, for fuck's sake. Get a grip.
>>59559412Meh I think it's fine if done thoughtfully. Like, random early-mid route trainers shouldn't have kitted out movesets, but ace trainers, gym leaders, and certain other late game trainers I'm fine with having TMs or move tutor moves. Why wouldn't they? And it lets you create some challenge points throughout the game, because, let's be honest, without custom movesets trainers are pretty much faceroll. You don't need to go full kaizo, but having the odd trainer pull out something a bit more strategic is fun. As for unlimited TMs, I can see arguments for and against. Honestly not really sure where I land on that when it comes to my own hack yet.
>>59559499Something like the battle frontier makes sense, but yeah i guess post game beyond that is really not a thing
>>59559327>playableKek. Not its not. Rejuventation is unplayable garbage. The cringe tumblr OCs wont let you play the game with their lame ass capeshit monologues.Meanwhile Green and i freely explore and can talk whenever we feel like it in Green Essentials and have the best day ever every day
>>59559563Oh yeah where can i play it? No link? Then it DOESN'T exists
>>59559599? Ive already posted plenty of concept art and in game screenshots
>>59559599dude, don't bother. ignore him.
>>59559619Read again Greenfag: NO DOWNLOAD LINK = IT'S NOT REAL>>59559621Fuck you are right but at the same time it's really unfari some dipshit like him runs rampant in this board unpunished
>>59559630yeah but giving him attention only makes it worse
>>59559630>this retard eternally seethes just by Green existingGood to know that every post we make here is a win. Green Essentials is currently being developed and is already more playable and balanced than rejuvenation will ever be. Could help by telling us how to work with trainer followr scripts.
>>59559636They kick you out of the shadow cabal discord? Oh. Hi David. Why does this general hate everyone so much? Seems like all they care about is flaming and not actually working on anything.
I love my wife Green!
This thread is greatly improved by the use of 4chanX, that's all I'll say
>>59558621I'm turning 30 and working on a romhack. Why does it matter? If anything, age is an asset. I dabbled in this stuff when I was younger but I was all ideas and no work ethic. Now I actually have the discipline to sit down and get shit done.
Maybe sort of a weirdly specific question, but is there a great GBA/DS romhack that isn't super VGC-style competitively difficult, but is a step above the mainline games where the trainer AI will switch out tactically and play a bit smarter? I'm completely new to romhacks so you can recommend the big ones if they fit the bill. Thanks.
>>59559962I'd suggest Unbound on Difficult mode, which is actually the second-lowest of its four challenge settings
>playing Heart and Soul 2.0 on my R36S>Suddenly console turns off because low battery>Lose like 2 hours of progress.Goddammit, I am MAD now! Also why the fuck retroarch only saves the game when you manually close the rom? It doesn't matter it you save with the game own save feature, if you don't open the RetroArch menu and close the rom from there, IT DOESN'T SAVE.

New Fakemon for Evergreen's upcoming 2nd demo
>>59560010By upcoming, do you mean this month or this week?
>>59560038Next year actually
>>59560010That evolved canine reminds me of someone...
>>59560039lmao
>>59558621David is around 30. If he can do it, so can you.
>>59553159My anonymous benefactor delivered one last set of sprites before the Project Postgame update next week. Hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuhqoZvyntA Also, things have gotten a little crowded, so I've also added a classroom environment. Not 100% who should go here, but it will at least be a place for future Team Star if I ever somehow get someone willing to provide sprites. The goal is still to put out the update in 10 days, but I want to have it done in 6 days so I can do some testing. If anyone wants in on testing, you can send me a DM on pokecommunity and I'll get it to you Monday (if I stay on schedule).
Do you ever bother to complete the Pokedex in romhacks?I've only bothered to in Prism, Unbound, Polished Crystal, and Volt White 2 Redux
Checking the repo of Heart and Soul, the code are written in C and some assembly? It feels like it's faster to rewrite the game in Godot or something than working upon the original rom..All those goto statements spooks me
>>59559992How's the AI in difficult vs expert?
>>59560107nah never thought it was worth it ever
>>59560107I’ve only done it in Unbound mainly because of the different ways to get new mons and the side quests made me want to complete everything the game has to offer.
>>59560107Never seen a reason too. Rewards for a full pokedex are already mostly worthless in official games. What can a romhack give me? With real games I own them and maybe I'll come back one day, so something like a shiny charm might get used one day, but romhacks pretty much get deleted once I'm done with them.Romhacks would need to give a new game + tier reward for finishing a dex for me to care. If it can get me really invested in the story and/or characters they could have a final cutscene, stardew valley got me to 100% it that way.
>>59560123it's built in pokeemerald. the point of the decomp isn't necessarily to be the best or most efficient code, it's just meant to be fairly accessible.
>>59560126Never tried expert to be honest
>>59560010>(((Merchantfox)))
Where can I get the 1-386 Moemon sprites?Might or might not do a HnS Moemon edition.
ever notice how this general's resident schizos are always essentialsfags? I don't know if anybody else has been in here long enough to remember, but way back in the day this was just /rhg/. then we tacked on essentials, and for a while these threads were just a battleground between romhack purists and essentials. that's what we used to cry was making the general unusable. well anyway, the purists were right. we never should have given ground to essentials.
>>59560339Bet you don't even remember DOORS
>>59560139>romhacks pretty much get deleted once I'm done with them.:(
>>59560107>didn't complete the pokedex YDNBTG
So what are the best mons to catch mons? It needs to be very fast, can learn Block or Mean Look, knows moves that paralyzes, and finally needs to learn False Swipe.
>>59560753Gallade has all these in gen 9
>>59560123>It feels like it's faster to rewrite the game in Godot or something than working upon the original romI doubt it. There's barely any fan games made from scratch compared to the amount of games made with essentials and romhacking, because it's a ton of work to recreate everything, and that's before you even get to start working on your own game. Although, that might be different with LLMs in the equation. As we've seen, pokeredpc-anon was able to generate a playable godot rewrite of red in just a few weeks.If you want something easier than working with the original ROM (and your idea isn't a small change to an existing ROM), pick essentials.>All those goto statements spooks meGotos are mainly used in the event scripts. You can write your own scripts with poryscript to avoid them.>>59560152I'd say that the main point of the decomp is to be 1:1 accurate with what's in the ROM. Accessibility, efficiency and "bestness" are secondary concerns.
@Grok: code me a GBA version of Gen 4 and make no mistakes, thx
I wonder how would Jonathan Blow make a pokemon like game
I've had two romhacks (theyre fucking romhacks not hackroms you illiterate cuntmuffins) on my mind as of late. Hate and Stole, that johto gba decomp, and Cecilia's Stinky Romhack, or whatever it was called. Are either of them actually good, or do they do too much Author Insert shit?
>>59560810He would first spend 8 years making his own Game Boy-like console before starting to program the game for that.
Why does the pokeball throw animation feel so fucking scatterbrained in the code, I must be retarded. Does anyone know where the arm lift is scripted when the player throws out their mon?
>>59560849Which game are you talking about?
>>59560851Emerald
>>59560849>>59560856The arm lifting is handled by a sprite animation. The animations are defined in src/data/trainer_graphics/back_pic_anims.h and it's started at https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/master/src/battle_controller_player.c#L2945
>>59560235This is taking a while...I fucking hate menial repeated tasks man.
why the hell are romhacks these days so boring and stale386 this, difficulty revamp that, where's the pizzazz?!
>>59560947Be the change you want to see
>>59560947>386 thisit's 1025 these days, chud.
>>59560810He would start by actually being nice to Greenbro and not complaining about everything 24/7. If you’re not gonna be nice then all you’ll get are the control freak discord cliques. Its simple cause and effect because you retards just want to bully people and feel entitled to do so. Not actually play or make the games
