Issues occurred resulting from an incomplete implementation of Inverse Battles from Commit #e59cc2b3292f3da336e89ef23b15b234bf469368.
Attempts to fix have been made through completing the implementation, which also accounts for proto-Fairy.
Additionally, some semi-invulnerable glitches have attempts made to resolve them, involving a generic list and 16bitification of the compare commands.
Damage processing seems iffy but this needs more testing. Type matchups function correctly, though.
Making Stereo the default was weirdly taxing. I don't know how or where this is usually initialised, I searched for like 2 hours and came up empty-handed...so I made a virus in the intro sequence instead. Tested with an empty save file.
Fast text was just a case of adding it to defaultoptions. I have no idea how or why this worked, as it only seems to be called when save files corrupt, and adding the stereo bit there didn't let it work in the same way. Oh well...
A slapdash of various little bits and pieces.
- Lake of Rage has a small culture entry at the top to illustrate what we're setting out to do. I mentioned the shell middens and canonised it alongside GSC.
- Move constants now have their 16-bit IDs set up
- Palfixed Feradactyl and Pupperon, fixed former's credit with confirmation from pokeoctober
- Wiped out the must be 8-bit errors on various Pokemon's `base_stats.asm` files.
- Fixed some aspects of Strong Arm and Water Sport calling garbage data; this was due to them using 8-bit comparison systems where there needed to be 16-bits. This fixes a good bit of their HM usage. Battle bugs need resolving (presumably due to a lack of gfx?)
- Fixed AI scoring with Water Sport (hopefully)
- Updated the readme with some of our progress over the past 5 months.
it's currently missing the custom palette but if I did I'd need to fuck with the code for it anyway when I add it properly when this stuff works so I dont think that's a big deal
This adds Rock Climb functionality to Strong Arm and Dive functionality to Water Sport, as discussed in the server. HMs have been added, but we need 16bit Items to add Wind Ride, and I haven't finished their functionality.
The Rock Climb tile is a bit terrible, it's not easy to notice. Maybe change so that it works well with yellow or another colour?
This does not build due to issues with effect_commands.asm, but since Zeta is meant to be working on the mapping and Water Sport anyway, it seems to be up his alley.
I ported over much of the underwater assets Rangi was using as they looked very pretty. I imagine it'll be fun to utilise going forward. May as well, right?
I shall now lay down in a dark room.
Review: c21561ea71 (diff-5508f3b794fc68821ba35e94b6a293b2aaaa16c02a1b34fac70d03fd2f74c4b2R113)
Mildly scuffed implementation of blue checking your gender to be able to call you Johto Boy/Girl/Kid
Also fixed how fucking slow HP drain is when you have a lot. May require a make tidy to go into effect.
actual palettes are somewhat unfinished but the general idea is being applied now.
Untouched palettes (aside from whatever color was used for the water) are marked with a # next to them, though the palettes are all tentative.
Some maps are broken up or edited to allow for seamless transitions instead of needing several warps. (Area 1 is split vertically, Area 2 needs a horizontal split. The connection between area 1 and 2 also will have to be shifted up from where it is in RBY to prevent border blocks showing up where they shouldn't.)
NOTE: THIS IS STILL A WIP
- Adds 'EXPANSION PAK' text to the title screen.
- Makes the Ditto on the Game Freak presents screen shiny. This'll act as a neat way for people to tell they've correctly patched the ROM.
s/o Crystal Legacy for their DV & Hidden Power display code, which got this off the ground. Credited aptly.
I modified what they had with Stat Exp, but the menu is a little jank and scrolling is buggy. Someone wanna pick that up?
Uppercut reimagines KEP's clusterfuck of an animation, reversing Karate Chop and then reworking the sounds
Coin Hurl works like the Poke Ball toss, and then spits out coins on-hit. Looks sort of like Acid in practice. This was weirdly complicated to implement as I had to disentangle the throw animation from the Poke Ball toss in Game Freak fashion.
Strong Arm does the "metal" starting animation, then does its best Rollout into DynamicPunch impression.
Adds the Haunted House with wild data, warps, and most of the house itself done.
Gengar Doll is set to be a boss fight, needs walking sprites among other things.
BG events need a bit more fleshing out.
Needs integration for the loose board mechanic.
Otherwise extremely fleshed-out.
This adds the baseline infrastructure to account for the Sevii Islands, while also fixing a couple of bugs. Zeta, please read the commit carefully!
Only real issue I noticed was that scrolling on the town map is infinite in all three new regions, implying there's something in `pokegear.asm` I haven't accounted for.
I've also ret'd the ezchat order and gen1 orders out of existence to reduce the sheer amount of 8-bit warnings. This abolishes gen1 compatibility (though this was already a bit fucked) in exchange for actually being able to debug things in a reasonable timeframe.
Evo moves commit is unfinished and doesn't work properly. Script in evolve.asm has details.
Summer Beach House now teaches Pikachu Surf and has two issues; one is that backing out of teaching Pikachu causes issues (basically, it only goes a correct way if you say yes), and the teaching menu uses tiles from the overworld because I am stupid.
Are you a bad enough dude to fix these bugs?
This adds the Summer Beach House from Pokemon Yellow to Route 19, in an effort to make Kanto a bit more interesting.
The code for teaching Pikachu is very buggy right now and someone should check it out. I usually throw code out if it isn't functional but this seems extremely close to working.
- Spaceworld-ish SGB morning palettes
- Flash caves work now
- Menu Account displays without bugged colors
- Also small Mt. Ember tweaks and a collision fix
