Just some very minor things I'm pushing while I work on the stubborn Silph Gauntlet Guard.
- Fixed the misshapen Poke Ball and Pikachu sprites on the 3DS Border, and gave Shocks the updated grey palette.
- Moved a trainer in Rock Tunnel that was accidentally made optional.
- Fixed some wording in Gavillain's dex entry
- Made wild encounters in Rock Tunnel have more consistent levels.
- New Celeste Hill Gate location so the entrance into the location makes more sense. Also took the opportunity to include more lore. This replaces Pokemon Tower 4F.
- Fixed a bug that caused the Cat icon to not animate correctly.
- Made the infinite Nugget glitch work properly because I was stupid and didn't test it.
- Luxwan now uses the Small Bird icon to fit with the rest of the line.
- Nidoreign has a new Pokedex entry and classification, centred on the Nido's origins in the Moon Rabbit of Asian mythology.
- Reused the double doors for the Route 2 gate, and added the warp for it
- Changed the Route 2 map to have the ledge on the path this irritated the fucking LIFE out of me
- Pokemon Tower takes you to the right place when going down.
- Kotora line now has Flash
- Refactored Gentlarva
- Route 2 gate now uses the double doors.
- New hidden Moon Stone where the Clefairy are in Mt. Moon
- Added a new Paradox Pokemon-themed border by Gecko557
- Shifted a ledge in Cerulean City that was off-centre in a really jarring way
- Added the Nugget glitch from FRLG because it's funny and cool
- Fixed the Arrow Tiles, it was very silly.
- Edited the text in Giovanni's Room to fix a gap, but also ended up adding citations and stuff to the file for the interested.
- Edited the map in Giovanni's Room to make a little more sense.
- Fixed some post-game Hall of Fame setup stuff.
- Edited Install.MD to be more idiot-proof
Whoa, this one's been in the making for a while now. This one has been my attempt to fix as much as I could within a little over a month. Here's what I've got for you.
- Fixed a bug in Silph Gauntlet where the trainers would not see you unless you spoke to them
- Removed the unnecessary Gawarhed and Wugtrio static encounters. In what was once Gawarhed's place is a Rare Candy.
- Implemented a working ferry system (huge thanks to Red++) that allows travelling to Faraway Island and Citrine City with the right tickets. Currently both maps use a copy of the SS Anne, which may be revised later.
- Bittybat, Magnetite and Burgela have been removed to fix a Pokedex bug where entries wouldn't display correctly if the total number wasn't a multiple of 8.
- Fixed a bug where fishing up a Wiglett and Wugtrio would play the trainer battle and Champion battle themes respectively
- Restructured the Pokedex a little. Don't worry, Lickitung's still number 108!
- All references to betamon in the disassembly have had their names updated to match the new Ogasawara ones
- Removed Blastyke as a Game Corner prize, replacing it with Squeamata.
- Garnet Cavern is now properly listed as a dungeon map
- Fixed an issue where trying to leave Bill's House after entering the garden would put you back in the garden
- Moved Silph Gauntlet's Beauty down 1 floor to make the number of trainers on each floor more consistent
- Finished Gauntlet 6F except for the trainer text (PvK please help)
- Gavillain's stats updated to match KEP 1.4 on the Showdown server. It's now a Dragon/Electric type with less Ice coverage.
- Fixed Clefable's and Wigglytuff's starting movesets from an earlier commit
- Fixed an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE, EGREGIOUSLY FRUSTRATING BUG that caused the Pokedex's seen counter to rarely update. This is what caused this commit to be delayed for so long. No joke.
- New sprites, courtesy of Albatross, for Sylveon's back sprite, Alolan Marowak, Alolan Muk, Galarian Weezing and Magnezone!
- Fixed a bug preventing the trade for Haunter from being accessed.
I forgot to put a `ret` at the end of `ShowThis`, causing the sequence to break. It also fixes a bug that would trap you in your house if you cleared the game at all - LAST_MAP is set to the player's room due to how we changed the starting position.
The post-game Legendary respawns are NOT fixed with this, for reasons I don't yet know. It's most likely the faulty dex as a whole.
The post-game setup itself now works, though - Route 1 Oak appears, Crater Guard disappears, Bill's Garden becomes accessible, etc.
Cerulean Cave is made accessible through the post-game setup until the gauntlet is officially done.
- Fixes the 7F -> 5F warp
- Removes the unused warp panel, moves the TM for Swords Dance over it, and the Rocket Grunts, accordingly.
- Fixes the strange machine blocks that had missing tiles, by removing them!
This puts Mt. Moon Square into an area solidly reminiscent of GSC. To prevent breaking of progression, a Cut tree is placed where the exit out of Mt. Moon is.
Also, I replaced a Potion with a visible Moon Stone - felt awkward not having one. It's a bit out of the way, so players have to explore, which feels correct.
- Most, if not all, Silph Co. warps have been fixed. Inappropriate ones have been removed.
- The Metal Coat can now be found where one corrupted Silph Co. warp was to fill dead space, and another is in the Power Plant, replacing Carbos.
- Bill now trades you Hisuian Arcanine after being saved.
- Bill's Grandfather now trades you Hisuian Electrode. Had to remove Crinkles, but Tangela is literally right next to Cinnabar, c'mon lol
- Toedscool can now be found behind Pallet Town, replacing Gloom and Weepinbell, making it more focused.
- Now you can't run from Omega! May expand this to more Pokemon depending on feedback and whether it's ok on processing. Main concern is making the run button too laggy - it raised some eyebrows.
Alright so this is the start of producing a new and improved pass system - one that actually works.
Long story short: Now there are three dock entrances. One for the S.S. Anne, one for Citrine City, and one for Faraway Island. I don't like it, but the old system literally just would not work, and with the time span in mind, I just want to use this instead.
Here's how it works;
- Usual S.S. Anne trigger is used, but with a new coordinate range.
- When triggered, check the coordinates the player is in; if it's not the usual S.S. Anne one, they're getting kicked to a new script.
- Use that to flag the player as usual.
Glitches:
- Triggering these multiple times causes strange jank, including crashes. I have the player forced into the new maps for now, but even going back can cause issues. I don't understand it.
- Citrine City's warp just...doesn't work, presumably due to a warp limit. However, after chopping off the warps so there's one each, it still happens.
These glitches need fixing before KEP can launch.
- Oak no longer appears in the lab prematurely you can all stop reporting that now
- Added some text warning about only needing to do Hyper Training once. The function as-is is really weird to add a conditional to and I'm a bit too tired to pull it off.
Credit to ViWalls for discovering most of these bugs in his playtest:
- Citrine City's theme has been made slightly louder.
- The book in Mr. Fuji's house had difficulties working properly, so it's been removed for now.
- Fixed issues where Silph Co. and the Fishing Rod house displayed incorrectly on the Town Map.
- Removed the unnecessary sign outside Celadon University.
- Fixed an issue where 2 NPCs in Cinnabar Lab and Pokemon Mansion, respectively, had incorrect text.
- Fixed a text issue in Pokemon Mansion where the final Mewtwo log would display incorrectly.
- Altered a piece of text in the secret area of Pokemon Mansion to avoid a text box error since the idea we had in mind for it was scrapped.
- Fixed a text issue in Viridian Pre-Gym where the text for the right-side poster overflowed past the edge of the textbox.
Pushing a commit for the less important stuff while I finish the Silph Gauntlet's missing floors.
- Swaps the Biker and Psychic in Silph Gauntlet around
- Increased J&J's Meowth's level to make it less unbalanced in the later fights
- Text improvements for Citrine City, Saffron Gym, and Viridian PokeMart
This finishes Chief's event, with all the necessary components for the post-game Mewtwo fight sorted as well. I added an event the Master Ball sets for modular monologue text, for improved immersion.
I have also fixed some bugs;
- Fixed the oft-reported walking in trees bug in the Forest tileset.
- Fixed the Oak's lab computer issue by just...removing the computer. I made the map symmetrical instead, feels a lot better to look at, at least for me. I think it was meant to have an event on it or something, but I couldn't find anything, felt like I was being gaslit.
- Hopefully fixed the issue with the border blocks going weird after saving and resetting, by making the tileset directly point to the gym one, which Oak is meant to use. I am not sure how that glitch happened for ViWalls.
- Fixed the Viridian Pre-Gym text scrolling issue.
I still cannot replicate the crash bugs that some people have been experiencing and don't see anything that could be causing it.
I also changed Trampel in Victory Road to Steelix, as mentioned by Gogocrafter.
This addresses some issues found during my last KEP stream.
- Take Down TM on Silph 5F to Earthquake, ensuring that TM does not go unused.
- Bill's Garden now features Lapras and has level deviation.
- Mt. Moon B1F's area where you access Mt. Moon Square now uses an upward-facing ladder, giving the illusion of going to a summit-like location. This makes its current odd location make more sense while not invalidating the progression regular Mt. Moon has.
- Melanie should now give Bulbasaur correctly.
- The Karate Master now has a failsafe for if you got a Hitmon, where he is guaranteed to not refight you before the post-game.
- Fixed a 17 error Old Dance Jacket reported with the Up-Grade NPC's text.
- Fixed nickname screen corruption when getting the Pikachu/Eevee mode starters.
- Fixed some curious warp issues with Lavender Tower by reversing 3F. Could use with some tinkering. Silph still needs fixes.
Credits have also been made more precise in the interests of better open source derivatives. Felt a bit odd expanding my credits so much, but this also made me realise I need to touch grass more frequently. I have also made our Open Source policy more precise.
LuciShrimp strikes again! A demake of the Legendary Battle theme from FireRed/LeafGreen.
This theme is set to change down the line, possibly taking elements from the Emerald theme Mew uses to differentiate itself more. Mainly committing as the infrastructure has been put in place.
More still need to be done but I'm separating the commits so I don't get overwhelmed lol
- Fixes a bug with the Up-Grade NPC in Saffron. He now properly shows up only after defeating Giovanni.
- Fixes a bug where Silph could be entered before receiving the Poke Flute.
- Silph Gauntlet 5F has a complete remodel, more closely matching the original map found in the leaks.
- One of the Fuchsia Gym Trainers no longer uses a repeat Arbok.
- Wiglett and Wugtrio could learn Rock Slide via TM, which has now been fixed.
- Jacky uses a Porygon in place of Machop, as it ties into his polygonal, Virtua Fighter-inspired sprite.
- Chief uses a Gengar instead of Porygon2 to represent the Silph Scope.
- Omega's and Giovanni 2's levels have been toned down slightly.
- Lance now uses Crocky over Aerodactyl.
- Yujirou's non-initial teams have had their levels reduced to be the same level as the previously-fought Gym Leader, rather than the upcoming one.
- Updated README with additional credits.
This renovates the Celadon Mansion Roof House to feature a faithful restoration of Shinjuku Jack. Notes are in the script file.
Also, LuciShrimp's Mewtwo theme is finished!
Added dialogue for the two lover NPCs on Brunswick Trail. Yes, they're both very gay. Sue me.
Lover2's dialogue was written by my amazing girlfriend, so all credit to her on that one :3
Adds the trainers themselves, dialogue still needs to be written but PvK can help with that
Currently they either don't see you or challenge you multiple times...probably issues with where the event constants are located, will sort out once I figure out the problem
This adds three trainers to Brunswick Trail, as well as the lover NPCs Martha wanted to write dialogue for (with placeholders for now).
Most trainers are merely commenting on the strong and energetic Pokemon, which I think matches the racing theme it has going on. This can be changed if need-be.
I have also removed all the noise on the Fake Tree sprite that got added when I imported the tile. Now, it's far more convincing.
- The Zapdos in Brunswick Glade now vanish correctly, due to fixing a desync in the hide/show data
- Brunswick Glade's palette displays correctly
- Improved Citrine City's theme a little
- Changed palettes for Cryithan's line to reflect their upcoming redesign
- Updated Cryithan's sprite
This adds the intermittent area before Brunswick Grotto, where you'll encounter Galarian Zapdos periodically.
It seems the hide/show constants are desynchronised again, as the copies in the glade won't disappear.
The reason was because not all the infrastructure for an actual battle was set up - this fixes it. It still has some strange text that appears though.
Also did some minor optimisations on the Vermillion Dock stuff - I think the direction I am taking Faraway Island will work. However, something in that script causes any and all special warps to crash in some way. I am not sure what it is that does it.
moved that one sign in viridian that intersected with the pregym in a misleading way that just looked really annoying on the map PLEASE let me have this
It felt weird that Koichi would have Gym Scaling, but Yujirou would not. So, I changed that to be a thing. I pegged his level scaling to Brock's, mainly because Normal-types are absolutely ballbustingly broken in this game and it makes sense from a progression standpoint. In doing that, I realised some variety in scaling (like, -1 +1, occasional 2 type stuff) could be interesting.
I also fixed multiple bugs;
- Gym Trainers correctly reset when you leave; no visible effect except to me debugging.
- Above also fixed Yujirou not having his loss sequence after, well, losing. Reported by shawesome.
- In fact, Yujirou will even display his loss text after losing, something I learned from doing Professor Oak's new Citrine Pass functionality.
- Fixed a bug where attempting to Fly on Celeste Hill caused a huge memory corruption effect. Oops.
- Fixed text issues on Route 1 and Museum 2F
- Tidied up trainer parties a little more
- Citrine City uses its own music track, being a revamped version of the unused trading music that was thought to be a town theme for several years. Could still use some work though.
- Improved Crocky's sprite a little, giving it the proper dimensions and improving the hairstyle a tiny bit
- Fixed an issue with Sylveon's Level 1 learnet
That's a fair chunk out of my day...
This commit finishes everything about Silph Co. 11F. DON'T. TOUCH IT. Unless there's a bug, but OTHERWISE, do NOT touch it. Holy shit.
Here's everything featured;
- Jessie and James fight, ported over.
- Rocket grunt changed to the appointment one from the strange room on the other side that really shouldn't be there tbh
- Omega fight now doesn't have the "watch out" text as I needed to do a micro-optimisation TRUST ME it was NECESSARY (it was not, in fact, necessary)
- Giovanni now reuses Beedrill and has a generally stronger team, scaling with the fifth Rival fight.
- Omega refight has been added after some toiling with the Team Rocket intro text that absolutely should not have happened but did for some reason AAA
- Rocket trio text somewhat tweaked
Oh and I ported over the balance patch on the stats, including some neo-Cryithan onboarding.
- Finishes the Vermilion Beauty event. One silly mistake involving the choice was fixed, and a workaround for wBeautyChoice failing in strange places implemented. Functionally the result I wanted.
- Implemented the Yellow spriteset for Vermilion City with minor adaptations. Fixes that funny issue I found on stream.
- Viridian Pre-Gym was fixed, reworking some events.
- Moltres now functions correctly, seeing you like a normal trainer would.
- Slightly tidied up Brunswick Trail and Celeste Hill Outside's maps
- Celeste Hill Outside and Cave now play Digda01 as a music track
- Adds Officer Jenny from Yellow to Vermilion City. Due to spriteset restrictions, Roingus Girl has been removed; the self-insert felt a little weird anyway.
- Fuchsia City's map has been redone a little bit to more closely resemble the LGPE version, being far more walkable and aesthetically appealing.
- A Firefighter has been added to Cerulean Gym!
For some reason the Daycare and the Super Rod house use the exact same map interior pointers? This commit uncouples them so edits can be made to the Daycare while leaving that house unaltered.
(also have some small text fixes I made ages ago and never pushed lol)
This adds Damien, the Charmander trainer, with text changed to be more accurate to his character.
I've also moved the Pewter Rod House nearby, as it makes more sense for it to be in the Water-type area. However, it seems to load oddly.
I have also integrated the Pikachu/Eevee Mode more, with architecture that it can make it more easily modified. This'll come into play for the Squirtle event.
I have also erased further misinformation the game gives about burns, and changed the Viridian Pre-Gym accordingly, to talk about confusion, which lacks a Trainer Tips sign.
In the name of making Pikachu/Eevee mode more accurate to Yellow, the starter trio are being made obtainable. However, I am also improving it in some respects to make it more accurate.
In the anime, the Hidden Village is between Cerulean and Vermillion, so Yellow's implementation is inaccurate. It also pushes the Jynx trader out of the house, which is undesirable.
Thus, Melanie has been placed in the Day Care to give more reason to go there, as well as make the Day Care look more like the one from FireRed and LeafGreen. In the name of this, a PC has been added as well, allowing for easier utility around the Day Care itself.
Bulbasaur is currently allergic to hiding for some reason but we'll figure that out later.
This is a large-scale compression of KEP's current hide/show constants. RBY's works extremely oddly and is limited to 256 entries.
The problem with how RBY's hide/show stuff works, is that even though there are tons of unused constants, you...can't actually remove them. The constant list is tied to the hide/show data entries, so if you replace it with something else, well, now you just have two objects tied to the same constant. If you made the Route 2 item a boss, and someone picked up the item on Route 2, the boss would also disappear, and vice versa. So, we have to get creative.
I have reduced what we have to 248, but I think I miscounted when doing the funny list somewhere in the actual list when making sure the hex stuff is ok. Either that, or there's an error somewhere that Martha will, by some obscene miracle of humanity, discover. Anyway, this was achieved by turning multiple current overworld items into hidden ones, keeping them in the game whilst keeping to that all-important limit.
I also removed the items in Pokemon Tower 4F for this, just needed a little boost. Well, as you can see by the number, I technically didn't, I just miscounted like 20 times. Look, it's 10:11 PM, my stomach is in pain from an insane injection, and I don't even know if that map will come back, cut me some slack. Or add it back. You definitely can.
This restructures the Fighting Dojo to match the new map, as well as add a few more features and safety mechanisms.
- Koichi, the Karate Master, now plays the Gym Leader theme when fought.
- Hitmontop is now an optional reward.
- Post-Game Rematch is available in addition to the gym scaling to be consistent with other Gym Leaders.
- A safety lock is on the Poke Balls prior to defeating the Karate Master, as the new structure now demands it. Indeed, this is why the reward area in vanilla is like that.
- Architecturally, there is now only one EVENT_GOT_HITMON constant, which is all that was actually needed in the vanilla game. Extreme microoptimisation, as event constants appear to be 16-bit.
- Vermilion Beauty no longer skips text to hand you your Pokemon
- Vermilion City text boxes are fixed
- Cancelling TMs and causing crashes when trying different ones is fixed (thanks to some old code by BlueZangoose, it was a vanilla bug!)
- Minor enhancement to the Candy Jar that seems to make Meltan more stable.
- Fixed a fallthrough error that caused Mewtwo's theme to play for every wild encounter (very cool, but also oops)
This adds the S.S. Anne healer from FRLG that's notorious for gaslighting newer players who just think she's there.
This also adds an extremely early Mewtwo theme. It's far from finished, just happens to be in this commit as I was testing it in debug - thanks to Luci for working on this!
Updated bug list as well with things my friend Crunter found.
This sets up most of the content necessary for Galarian Articuno's event. In SwSh, it has 2 copies, so I'm doing that here too.
Right now, the fight doesn't work properly and the copies don't hide properly. Otherwise, it's roughly how we want it to be.
- Properly adds Brunswick Grotto, as well as Celeste Hill Outside and Celeste Hill Cave
- Citrine City received a minor redesign, putting the path to Brunswick Trail more to the west
- Added complete event for Galarian Zapdos as well as an encounterable, but unfinished Galarian Moltres, so all 3 birds can currently be caught
The warp at the moment is an absolute travesty, something on that tileset needs to change. Either that or we figure out something else.
Everything in the Grotto is done, except for making Galarian Zapdos disappear after being defeated. At least, to my knowledge...
Pokemon Tower 3F is dead until future notice - Martha said she wanted to compress the Diglett's Cave maps, though.
This adds all the required architecture for the new maps to work, as well as Kinchou01 to play when in Celeste Hill itself.
This doesn't add the events, though.
- Fixes a bug where the Game Corner poster would pretend to be an Arbok. Very effective disguise.
- Fixes some text in Celadon University that would simply look odd. I need to use hyphens more, the rest of the game does it!
- Decapitalised the "normal-type" in Viridian Pre-Gym to match the rest of the game.
- Changed some SFX cues to use the level-up sound, but it's clearly crysaudio that causes this. Will talk with Dannye.
This commit adds a large fundamental change to KEP, that being Gym Rematches.
This is achieved alongside a rework to the script that makes those post-game-gating NPCs shift around. If you add a new one, just add its constant to the lists you'll see in the Hall of Fame script.
It also fixes a few bugs:
- Fixed a bug where Cinnabar Gym loaded a fleet of Blaines. This occurred due to the way he is coded at base, and a misunderstanding I had when implementing his scaling. This is now fixed by standardising his gym script instead, while letting the gym trainers still use the old one.
- Fixed a bug where the Up-Grade NPC would not appear after beating Silph Co. 11F. However, Giovanni currently seems to have trouble with his text. This floor needs some re-coding anyway, given we need to add Jessie and James to it.
And some misc. changes:
- Changed the first Moon Stone in Mt. Moon to a Poison Stone for the Nidoking speedrunners
- Debug Mode now has a line of code to set up the post-game easily
- Changed Surge's initial battle text to Yellow's
- Added Sabrina's more accurate LGPE initial battle text, referring to the spoon she bent by accident
This is basically done, but has a few glitches to iron out that I don't have time to do today. So, I'm sending this in as-is with the intent to finish (or someone else can idc) it later.
I initially thought to restrict this to after Vermilion Gym but Persian is really bad and Arcanine doesn't compare to the L30 Dugtrio, so I think it's ok. Just barely balances itself out.
Bugs:
- GiveMonName doesn't work properly for the Vermilion Beauty after receiving the Pokemon, jank ensues.
- Text scrolls immediately when receiving the Pokemon from the Vermilion Beauty.
Minor upgrades in accordance with the recent KEP playtest.
The Mt. Moon Rocket with the Raticate is arguably one of the most iconic NPC trainers in Pokemon history and under no circumstances should it be cut. No matter what Yellow tells you.
Added a nice Arbok NPC to the Game Corner to make more use of the new overworld sprites I did. It's basically a guard for the attendant to its left - need some safety in casinos, y'know? Especially pachinko parlours...
I put the Arbok text in `text_2.asm` since it'll likely be used by other maps down the line. Or not, but it's good for architecture.
The Candy Jar is now obtainable in the Indigo Plateau, instead of being an item obtained from Chief. I've removed most Chief-related stuff but expect some instability after you beat him, as I don't believe I completely removed the function to call the text.
The Candy Jar will now not collect candies in the following instances;
- It isn't in the bag.
- The total would go over 40.
Just makes sense and ensures players are engaging with the proper intentions. The 40 total is necessary, as over 40 stops the jar from working. This does mean some candies are "lost", but the players see that.
There's a bug where Meltan will have the moves of the Pokemon it's replacing and I don't know why. I've tried a bunch of fixes in `LoadEnemyMonData` but it didn't seem to want to work.
- Attempted to fix the Mt. Moon J&J encounter (did not work, will look at the script file)
- Fixed a few bugged warps relating to Mt. Moon Square/Crater
- Fixed the credits text layout (just need to figure out how to decrease the delay between them, so it still matches the music...)
- Added the Crater guard back
- Changed the silhouettes in the credits to be more prominent Pokemon (Leader and E4 aces, plus some postgame teasers in Omega for the Chief fight, and the legendary wings)
This fixes the issue with Mt Moon Square's NPC text and changes the Battle Tent to a continuous system.
The Battle Tent's new system circumvents the issue with wBTStreakCnt while providing the player with more agency. They'll get constant prize money after each battle and can abandon the challenge at any time. It may feel more grindy but in my opinion works just as well.
I am not sure why the fossils don't show properly at the moment - it isn't related to going past $FF, as the Old Amber shows.
Dome and Wing specifically don't show properly and need fixing down the line.
- Changes Bill's Garden to be a more fitting Overworld-tileset map
- Gives Cinnabar Volcano a unique palette, being a slightly less-bright version of the RedMon palette
- A few small changes/improvements to the Rival teams
- Reduced wild encounter levels in Silph Gauntlet a little
- Adds a 100% chance for a Magmar encounter when fishing in the Cinnabar Volcano lava
- Hides more 'secret' areas off the Pokedex area listing, namely Mt. Moon Crater and Faraway Island
- Improves Jabetta's sprite a little
Still need to find out what I want to do with Body Slam, Swords Dance, and Thunder Wave. Slam/SD are on the Sevii Islands, and TWave is on an existing NPC who usually gives Self-Destruct.
Could possibly refactor the item receiving text.
This adds the Mt Moon Square House, faithfully recreated from GSC. I haven't yet sorted out the important details regarding the Crater Guard and such, though.
Making the map involved making a new desk tile and making house tile $36 be considered a counter tile. Hopefully there aren't any adverse consequences but I've never seen anything of that nature.
I noticed there are a ton of Clefairy text bits, so I refactored it to be a single line farcalled from `text_7.asm`. This also involved an interesting thing with the Pokemon Fan Club where the Pikachu fan has a Clefairy, so I fixed that too.
I figured that adding the dance was a little difficult right now, so we have Clefairys walking around instead.
I haven't figured out a good place to add the ladders yet (since there should be two entrances) but we'll figure that out eventually. It's plausible that we just make the Crater the southern warp, but I like how out-of-the-way the current one is.
Oh, and I fixed the Crater warps.
Overall, functional, but not finished.
This adds Victory4 in its original form over Mt. Moon Square's music, which could possibly have the initial jingle removed. I noticed the GSC version was being used, which wasn't ideal.
Mt. Moon Square's map is added, with accessibility where the Crater's originally was (for now). One warp on the south part of the map doesn't go anywhere (actually it's a glitch city). The shop and Clefairy event aren't done yet.
The Mt. Moon Crater Guard has been removed with the pretence of re-adding him on the Square map once it's finished.
I'm trying out having the text in the raw script file without farcalling, which seems to be more optimal than doing it the way the devs originally did it. The Battle Tent does this too.
This now, technically, works.
However, the Battle Tent was seemingly made with the assumption trainers are Pokemon, which our hack has moved from. I've made it so it can load it as a trainer battle properly, but you will deathwarp. I need to implement a scripted loss system.
Some Celadon University trainers were in slightly inconvenient locations, making a straight line to the door clunky.
Also, generally made the readme more useful.
This is...most of the stuff necessary for the Battle Tent to work. I've faithfully restored most things so far, including doing a few grammar tweaks.
Main issue is that we get a really strange softlock when the Pokemon selection menu comes up. Not sure why, but point is, it can't progress to the next bit for debugging like this. Committing now to ask for assistance.
- Made Gym Leader levels more consistent
- Updated sprites, including a complete redo of Espeon's (based off the Gold sprite)
- Fixed an issue where Blue would have an incorrect team
- Changed Celadon Gym trainer text to accomodate for being a girl
This commit adds NPCs and signs to Citrine, doing some significant worldbuilding in the process. I considered adding an event where Oak greets you like how the Magma/Aqua Admins do on the ORAS Battle Resort, but it seemed a little too on-the-nose, y'know?
There was an issue where you wouldn't be walked out of doors automatically, which was quite immersion-breaking. That was because the door tile IDs weren't defined - this is fixed too.
Some map elements have been altered to facilitate the new changes, and obviously, some map sprite slots have been filled.
Importing and changing the Battle Tent is most likely my next task.
This update does a good few things. Giovanni now uses his unused encounter theme in all pre-fights, which is followed by the regular evil trainer theme when you're about to fight him. This feels very correct. His team has also been minorly altered.
I backported LGPE's pre-fight monologue for Giovanni in Rocket Hideout B4F. Adapted for RB's story, of course, no Cubones here. The original text is very awkward and abrupt, and it also makes the encounter theme feel much more effective in delivery. I think a lot of people can appreciate this.
I also backported Jessie and James for Rocket Hideout B4F while I was at it. I had to change their event script quite a bit for it to fit, and their walking seems...awkward. Regardless, it's functional. The rest will be done with time.
To make future dev door testing easier, I'm keeping all warps I've previously used in comments.
With the way KEP is shaping up, the Rocket Hideout can easily stay with little issue. I don't expect it to be a problem at all. Therefore, in the interest of keeping Lavender Tower's progression the same, it's being restored. I do expect some Lavender Tower floors to be nommed, though.
I expect Silph to also be salvageable but I also really hate Silph.
Oh, also, the Game Corner guard has been buffed. He sucks. They call that a guard??
Warps are messed up at the moment and we need to test it for Old Sea Map purposes. It uses the Fuchsia palette right now but that's not an issue right now
The warps are currently broken for reasons I can't figure out for the life of me. Faraway Island works but is loaded in a glitched state where other warps break and are generally very unstable, while Citrine softlocks. It's progress, though.
This adds a map for Cinnabar Volcano's floors in the run-up to Moltres. I used a S.S. Anne style compression technique here, having 4 floors on a decently sized map that are just far enough apart for a player to never actually see them. This maintains their suspension of disbelief while giving us way more space to work with. I want to compress a lot of RBY maps like this if push comes to shove - there's a lot of places where this is possible.
In the interests of compression, I started using the Agatha bank again, as I removed a lot of maps from there when making bank 22. There's some space for maps.
Also I made 3 more blocks for cavern which caused it to overflow the bank it was in - fixed that by swapping with PreGym, which is probably much smaller.
Cinnabar Volcano hasn't been changed yet in the interest of Martha finishing that bit up.
I messed up Garnet Cavern's 2F name for some reason
Also added all the warps which are, ironically, exactly the same as the international Cerulean Cave. Added the event for Galarian Articuno but gee I hope the constant skip doesn't cause any issues
Currently just uses the RG Unknown Dungeon map, which should be changed accordingly. The warps and stuff outside of basic entry aren't implemented.
Has a halved encounter rate compared to other maps, which matches the idea that caverns don't sustain much wildlife.
Mt Moon theme may not be used in the final product.
- Fixed an issue where KEP's new static encounters would sometimes not disappear correctly
- Fixed an issue where boulders wouldn't fall down holes
- Fixed issues where the SS Anne Rival and Oak in the Indigo Plateau wouldn't appear, causing a softlock
- Fixed an issue where the Mt. Moon fossils wouldn't disappear
- Added several items back after they were previously removed
