This uses some of the tech I made for the Day Care, since the House tileset had PCs in them. The Rest Houses now have slightly revamped maps to accommodate. Did you know these were unused?
Pushing everything I've done, currently doesn't build because the Galarian Birds filesize is too thicc for the section but I need to push this before I go mad
- Added a gate between the two halves of Route 10 on the right side of Rock Tunnel that contains the Graveler trade NPC.
- Improved Faraway's encounter table.
- Made the music go silent before battling both of the postgame bosses for suspense reasons. It also sounds cool.
- Minor text fixes
Please stop asking me about the sprite limit i beg u
Ok so this commit does the following;
- Oak's Lab now uses the Fossil Lab tileset, featuring lots of new contraptions etc to make up for the old removed aides.
- Places the Pikachu and Eevee starters in a new place, which results in a slightly blocky mess, but does the job.
- Fossil Lab tileset graphic has many new things. Lots of bad tiles in the blockset in case we want to use this more.
- Changes the rival's pathing so he, y'know, works on the new map...
- Re-adds the Oak email thing, but I had to do like 4 stupid workarounds because it was broken for unknown reasons. Just made it a generic bg event with no issues.
- Removed the old oak email event; no visible difference.
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.
- 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.
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.
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 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!
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.
- 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
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.
- 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
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 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.
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
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.
This adds Citrine Mart, which is battle-centric. It sells all the "strongest" items and makes Max Revives renewable.
I made a specialised tileset for Citrine Mart, combining the old and new styles to make something that feels right.
I am tired of doing the Legendary wing event, so I'm populating Citrine City.
Some notes;
- I refactored the In-Game Trades to match their nicknames and re-distributed them.
- I swapped Fuschia's bench guy for the third unused one meant for the safe house, but I may outright restore these.
- I refactored the Pokecenter Hidden Objects to all use the same set - they're clones of each other, so this works out. This saves a TON of bytes and works fine.
- I placed the Harry trade for Kadabra/Alakazam in Citrine Pokecenter as it feels right for such a powerful Pokemon to be post-game.
- Brunswick Trail and Faraway Island now use correct palettes.
- Faraway Island has been altered slightly with the same tileset as Celeste Hill
- It's now possible to fly from Citrine locations, as well as Faraway Island, and the roof of both Celadon's Mart and Mansion.
To-Do List for Brunswick Trail:
- Galarian Zapdos event (give hide/show data)
- Tunnel to Celeste Hill (tileset moment)
- Couple by the sea
- Fake Tree (Cactus, may need a spriteset)
- Wild data (needs doing)
- Maybe a few trainers?
Currently the move tutor is a little bit broken - the IDs are 1 above how they should be. Shell speculates that it's searching at the table starting from Kangaskhan due to the way the decrements shake up but it may just be making things more complicated than they are.
Big cheese code is `PrepareTradebackMoveList`, it's where things are mucking up.
Also, the code can be significantly optimised, as it's currently being adapted from the function above, `PrepareRelearnableMoveList`; It doesn't need to check levels, for example.
Note that the relearner functions properly, so use it as a reference. I may have removed something important.
Technically, we could have NO_MON as an entry which may make things shake out properly. But I'd rather have a proper fix.
This map is pretty much finished, save for the map sprites for Jessie, James, and the unused Cat (aka Meowth) being imported, as well as an & symbol. This adds everything else - the marts, the Rocket Trio fight, the meeting music, the tileset, the trainer class for Jessie/James, I could go on. A ton of work well-done.
Lots of things here. Citrine now has its own tileset featuring content from the prototype asset leak. This includes new grass, signs, and so on. Lots of tinkering had to be done to make it look good, but it does! Collision and everything is done, but grass needs to animate properly. I'm committing as-is because making the grass animate is actually very difficult.
Also added the Metal Coat and fixed the issues with prior evolution methods - evo items first, level-up second. It is currently unobtainable.
Added map data for Citrine City, including wild spawns, as well as a fly location. Also fixed an issue where Bill's Garden couldn't spawn wild Pokemon. Citrine is also green for some reason.
This is a cave that connects Bill's Lighthouse and Route 10, only accessible after Surf is obtained. Contains a static Dragonite as a reference to the anime!
This map is fully functional but has a lot of bits to iron out, as well as a need for Gym Trainers. I'm also not wholly satisfied with Yujirou's team; maybe remove Eevee?
Yes, I designed an entire tileset for this. Fear me. Bow before me. Actually, don't, this was beyond rational thought.
Current issues;
- Yujirou's sprite doesn't work properly.
- Needs Gym Trainers (hell)
- Yujirou needs an event for being beaten, the refight, and more.
Rowan NPC added to Cinnabar Lab, just a little cute thing.
Bill's Garden could see many revisions, what's here is the bare minimum. Here's what's done:
- Nidorino NPC blocks it off and is unlocked in the post-game. This currently contradicts the myth - I have a plan for this soon.
- Wild Pokemon are the "non-reproducibles" given in Stadium; starters and eevee are mandatory given those were common in the myth
- Hisui forms should be added when possible
- I had to remake Martha's map in the forest tileset so leaving would be possible
- Everything is at a point where it functions
All of the Ubers have sprites now (goodbye Lion Pory2!), fixed a small bug I made on Route 19 when resizing Cinnabar, and some minor text updates/fixes.
The map functions and the ROM builds. It has no wild data, and nothing goes to it.
What's done;
- Map design, I think this is one of the best I've ever done, especially within these limits.
- Integration, set up a warp and you can go there, easy.
What's not done
- Wild data
- Fishing group
- Water mons
- Event signs
- Young Sada in Pewter Museum of Science
Very simple map to produce.
Very dissatisfied with the map as-is. Needs a lot of work, possibly another tileset based on the `interior` one. I tried adding one but came across constant problems and the one I came up with kind of sucked. No events or warps yet.
This adds the maps on their own with fully functional warps between each other. Music has been set to Viridian Forest. Mew, wild data, and a way to get there have not been added.
Overall completes Celadon University sans a problem with sprites being a bit corrupted until you leave. New Magikarp Salesman-esque events in other pokecenters which is kinda neat
Has the map connections, warps, and maps all done. A single person is there right now; Prof. Westwood V, as a reference to the early worldbuilding. I'll work on this more as time goes on.
