FINALLY managed to get this working. The bugged warps are now working and the jank ones are less jank. Also removed the cocoon's pre-evolved moves again.
I've been at this for like 2 hours, I don't care how scuffed this code is, I just wanted to make the entrance to Giovanni's room look smoother and less obvious-
- Added another counter to the Game Corner prize room, adding Abra, Clefairy and Dratini back as prizes.
- Fixed Thorn Avery's and Zeta Null's names in the credits
- Small map changes to postgame areas
- Polished the new dex entries again
- Mewtwo no longer gets Waterfall and Roar from tradebacks
- Fixed a bug where you couldn't surf in the water on the Ferry tileset
- Gave Giovanni's room the same palette as Rocket HQ
- Minor text fixes
- Fixed an issue where LAST_MAP wouldn't update when sailing to Citrine
This adds a new tileset for the Seagallop Ferry. Had to remake the tileset from scratch using the S.S. Anne one. Very awkward!
The map could be made to look more like the FRLG one but that's neither here nor there.
- Added the unused rainbow palette for Celadon Gym.
- Fixed Faraway Island using Vermilion's palette.
- Rocket Hideout now uses the same palette as the Game Corner
- Minor text fixes
- Cinnabar Volcano now requires Strength to complete, and contains several trainers, including 3 Firefighters.
- The entrance to Mansion B2F has been changed to a warp pad instead of a staircase.
- Removed the boulders in B2F to fix a bug and to prevent softlocks.
- Minor text fixes.
Here's one for all the people that wanted another wacky interaction with the shady salesman!
He stands outside the Safari Zone selling his own Safari Balls. They act the same way, they're called the same thing, but they're looking a little off...hey, is that paint peeling off?
Anyway, this acts as a way to get Safari Balls outside of the Safari Zone, like in SwSh! Whether or not you wanna pretend that they're real, it's still neat that he's selling them to you for a good price.
- Tiles now animate correctly while still being sped up (credit to jojobear13!)
- Fixed issues with certain cave maps being glitched after importing the new tileset for Seafoam
- Gave Celeste Hill Cave the same palette as the exterior areas
- Fixed an inconsistency in Koga's pre-fight script
in the middle of a breakdown here but i'm committing this because I don't wanna have an overwhelming number of changed files like the Big One
- Fixed a bug where an item couldn't be picked up in Mt. Moon Crater
- Gave new cries to Leafeon, Glaceon, Perrserker, Gentlarva, Carapthor, Gorotora, Magnezone, Tangrowth, Tricules, Magmortar and Meltan. Pupal and Lickilicky also got new cries but they'll probably be changed later
- Changed Citrine's map slightly for hopefully the final time, removing the tall grass to allow the Old Man Glitch to work there
- Brought Pokemon Tower 5F back for some reason
- Moved the Rocket Grunt on Silph 11F closer to the Omegadge door
- 'Fixed' a warp issue on Faraway Island, can definitely be improved though
- Gave Gapdos 10 more base special because i forgot the first time
- Fixed a typo in Hitmontop's dex entry
- Fixed some inconsistencies in Gao and Gorotora's movesets
- Added the unused ice tiles to Seafoam Islands and Garnet Cavern (credit to Vortiene)
- Added a stats page to the Pokedex that displays base stats and the type of caught Pokemon (again, credit to Vortiene)
- Made Sandshrew more common in Mt. Moon
- Improved the 'already caught' icon
- uncapitalised all new instances of "trainer" in the text to make it more consistent
- HOPEFULLY fixed the issue where the SS Anne still couldn't be reboarded
I made Mt. Moon Crater when KEP's ROM Hack was just starting, and in retrospect, it looked horrible. Lots of random things all over the place, not very layered, it really just looked like a normal route. Here, I've attempted to layer the crater more cleanly, added a "Zero Lab," and all-around improved the tree placement. Hopefully, this makes it more enjoyable to explore.
- Gave Magmortar the wrong Special initially, it should be 95. Yes, this makes Magmortar really bad, but it's just how the Special conversion would work.
- Similarly, Tricules has had its Speed reduced, so it can have the proper role of being a slower, bulkier Pinsir.
- Removed the extra staircase in Red's House properly.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
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.
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!
- 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.
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
- 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
- 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!
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.
- 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.
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.
- 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)
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.
