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
- Fixes a few bugs from the last commit, namely:
- The guy who gives you the Pocket Lapras having bugged text
- Being able to use it where you shouldn't (Cycling Road, Seafoam before the boulder puzzle)
- Pocket Lapras not having an item description
- As well as this, automatic item sorting has been added. Just press Start in the bag menu and all your items will get assorted into a convenient list.
- Changed a few item descriptions since some of them didn't terminate properly
- Freed up some space in the Home bank
This is still a bit glitchy:
- For some reason, unrelated text pops up after something is printed. I don't know why.
- Pocket Lapras needs to close the menu post-use. Probably very easy, something in engine\items\item_effects.
- The Pocket Lapras needs to default to Lapras as the text. This is a bit difficult as the item effect is actually used by Surf itself, so you may need to add a function that the Pocket Lapras loads before jumping to the real function (basically just loading the LAPRAS species ID for the text, ask me if you need help)
- Cycling Road needs to run the routine to force you onto the bike after using the Pocket Lapras, or simply have it check for if you're on a ForceBikeSurf map and yell at you. Both work.
I don't have time to finish this right now but it's at least obtainable.
Uploading some of the 1.3 stuff to begin with, mainly the changes that are fully finished so far.
- After earning all 8 badges, the trainers in Celadon University get a decent level increase, allowing for a much better grinding spot between Victory Road and the Pokemon League.
- A handful of changes to move animations, credit to wrulfy for implementing some of these in their Carmine Red hack:
- Struggle has the user bouncing up and down similarly to Splash, rather than shaking back and forth.
- Slam has the user move forward while attacking.
- Mega Kick has the user move back, then lunging forward while attacking.
- Jump Kick has the user move forward while attacking, as well as a sound effect change.
- Horn Drill uses a unique animation of a rotating star effect, as well as darkening the screen.
- Both confusion-inflicting status moves show birds circling the enemy.
- Hyper Beam is slightly slower, and shakes the screen after the hit.
- Drill Peck uses the same circling star animation as Horn Drill.
- Solar Beam has a 'gathering energy' effect while lighting up the screen.
- SmokeScreen is a lot faster.
- Skull Bash shakes the screen and moves the user horizontally while attacking.
- Hi Jump Kick made slightly faster.
- Dazzling Gleam lights up the screen and has been made slightly longer.
- Acid Armor has been given a proper animatio, and no longer makes the user invisible.
- It's now possible to Escape Rope out of the SS Anne and Silph Gauntlet 3F.
- Changes made to a handful of Victory Road and Silph Gauntlet trainer parties.
- Slight level buffs to the Elite 4 initial matches, and significant buffs to their rematches.
- Silph Gauntlet Gym rematches have been increased by a few levels, and Chief has been similarly buffed.
- Slight encounter tweaks to Route 23
- Level buffs to Victory Road's wild encounters
- Minor text fixes
-
(kinda just clearing my commits list while I'm working on 1.3 still.)
- Lance's Room is no longer listed as a dungeon map
- Changed the layout of Cinnabar Volcano YET AGAIN, making it a little more visually appealing. If you get softlocked here, I will just sigh disapprovingly.
- Various moveset fixes:
- Arcanine-H gets EQ and Fissure now
- Raichu-A loses Counter
- Raticate-A gets TBolt and Thunder
- Swapped Bullet Punch and Iron Head around in Scizor's learnset
- Umbreon gets Psychic
- WigWug both now get Ice Beam and Blizzard
- Seel and Dewgong get Water Gun by level up
- Swapped inconsistent moveset levels for Omanyte and Omastar
- Eevee gets Quick Attack earlier
- Fixed a typo in Slowbro-G's dex entry
- Changed the Tauros Combat Breed trader's text to remove a moveset inaccuracy
- Changed Misty's AI to now use X Specials instead of Potions
- Gave Chief's teams a slightly updated moveset
- Fixed an issue where Steel just...didn't resist Rock? How did I miss this?????
- Made Sandshrew more common in Mt Moon B2F
- Changed the Marowaks on Silph Gauntlet 4F to Guardias
- Fixed issues where receiving a Gym badge wouldn't play the correct sound in most situations
- Increased the level of the Salesman's Cubone gift from 17 to 23
- Decreased the levels of the Fossil gifts from 44 to 35
- More text fixes
-
This commit fixes the following bugs:
- Viewing the Town Map in Viridian Pre-Gym would show the player as being in Cerulean.
- Psychic, Psywave, Night Shade and Dazzling Gleam wouldn't shake the full screen
- Okay, NOW it's impossible to trap yourself in Cinnabar Volcano.
- Getting the Vermilion Beauty gift would lock you out from getting the Silph Co Lapras gift later.
- Text fixes
This commit fixes the following bugs:
- A guy in Celadon University was stuck in a tree due to being placed on the wrong tile.
- It was possible to walk out of bounds in Mt. Moon Crater due to buggy collision near the bottom of the map
- Hi Jump Kick had a slightly glitched animation
- It was possible to walk into a specific rock in both Cerulean Cave and Garnet Cavern. This was a vanilla bug too, but I'm fixing it proper now.
- There was no signpost outside Bill's Lighthouse where there should've been.
- Fixed two errors in the README
- The Fissure TM was not purchasable at the Citrine Rocket house
- Even if you had picked one of the original starters, you could still get the Charmander and Squirtle gifts as the NPCs would show up regardless.
- Trying to get the Squirtle gift with a full party and box would lock you out from getting it
- Fixed a text issue in Celadon Uni where the professor states the wrong TM
- Fixed two text issues in Silph Co
- Adds a slightly remade version of the Rocket battle theme that plays when fighting Rocket Grunts, Jessie & James, and Giovanni (1 and 2)
- Giovanni 3 and Chief now share a new battle theme composed by myself and LuciShrimp, which is a slower, more intimidating remix of the regular Rocket fight theme.
- Gave Giovanni 3 his own trainer class, allowing for better AI routines and smarter move choices.
- Removed Giovanni's name from the Viridian City Gym statues to keep his identity a further secret. It also made more sense than in vanilla.
- Gave the postgame Morimoto fight a better selection of moves.
- 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
- Now has a rematch team, just with boosted levels
- Has unique dialogue if you never picked up the Master Ball before fighting him, including after winning
- Has new dialogue on subsequent matches
We're nearly done.
This makes it so you don't miss the Bottle Cap gift that Yujirou gives you, even if you beat the Elite 4 before him. There's a similar issue with the Fighting Dojo where the same thing happens but I'm less sure on how to fix that one...
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.
Well, 'unique' is VERY loose here. He looks and behaves identically to a Black Belt still, just with a proper name and a higher payout. He replaces the unused Junior class.
In addition, I've brought back the text on the scrolls on the back wall in the Fighting Dojo that were accidentally inaccessible for a while.
This functionally turns the Silph Gauntlet into a battle tower of sorts.
I did notice some weirdness post-event-reset so definitely do some tests. It should be fine, though.
I'm trying to make the warp to Mt. Moon Crater a hole warp like the ones from Seafoam Islands, but I cannot seem to get to work at all, the hole just doesn't send me down. I know I'm clearly missing something, but I'm committing as-is in the hopes that someone could have a look at it
