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.
Updated back sprites have been added for Galarian Rapidash and Weezing, Alolan Dugtrio and Muk, and Tangrowth!
Also fixed an issue where Omegadge had 3 less base speed than it should, putting it just below Gawarhed in terms of BST. Oops.
- 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
This adds a makeshift border, which will later be replaced with a proper KEP one (thanks Gecko557) The readme also includes a link to the software itself.
Responding to some feedback on YouTube, the Citrine Mart now features PP Ups and Max Elixers as renewable items. PP Ups have never been renewable!
Oh, and the Exp. All is now a key item because for some reason it wasn't before. Yikes.
Last commit for the night.
- 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.
This re-frames the intro to have Red and Green be framed in a gender neutral manner. The main aim here is to be a bit more appealing to the NB types, be more consistent with the modern game's approach to gender, and allow people to feel comfier with Red's androgynous appearance.
Oh, and there's a confirmation option to utilise this more effectively, along with some cool transitions. Very happy with this commit.
This changes the animations for various vanilla moves with the aim of reducing photosensitive reactions. KEP is going to chiefly be played on emulators, and thus players will experience flashing that is meant to be dimmed by a Game Boy screen. This is dangerous, so here we are.
Many moves have been given black screens which 1) Look cool as fuck, Thunderbolt and Blizzard are really nice and 2) bypass flashing. Others have had their flashing reduced or outright removed.
Blizzard has been given special treatment, having the second part of its animation given an Ice Rise clip like Ice Beam. This, coupled with the darkness, looks ace.
Changed moves include:
Body Slam, Glare, Dazzling Gleam (oops), Disable, Blizzard, BubbleBeam, Confusion, Dream Eater, Explosion, Guillotine, Hyper Beam, Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Psychic, Reflect, Rock Slide, Selfdestruct, Spore, and Thunderbolt;
Short tests showed positive results. Revert if it fucks up anything.
PureRGB enhances Gen 1 AI in various ways, fixing notorious glitches and making it not do completely stupid things. I would use shin pokered's, but it may be too difficult for unfamiliar players, and has a bunch of outdated markers I'd have to spruce up.
Relevant changes:
- Burn effect calls have been replaced with Fire Blast's effect, replicating the burn spread use-case of Fire Blast
- Teleport references removed because pureRGB uses a unique version
- Any straggler references to effects not used in pureRGB
- Mist properly referred to as we only have one move that provides stat drop immunity.
Updated the sprite gallery too!!
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.
* Moves the Mystery Box activation into Event Constants. This means that now, the Mystery Box activation is handled in the save, preventing some jank from happening when resetting.
* The "don't switch off the box yet" variable is now always unset after entering a map. Meltan itself allows the variable to keep being re-set, which is super handy. Now, whenever you enter and exit maps, it'll work properly.
* Flying, using an Escape Rope, and using Dig, all now unset the Mystery Box. If for some reason everything fucks up, this'll fix it.
* Fixed a text bug with the scientist in Celadon University.
* Fixed a menu alignment issue with the Vermilion Beauty.
* Attempted to fix the Battle Tent exit. Failed. This is a really, really bad bug, hopefully this gets sorted sometime.
It's done! This took a lot of work on LuciShrimp's end, mainly due to CrystalTracker issues.
This fixes the synchronisation issues seen in the previous iteration, dramatically improves the loop point, and has various other shifts to make it much easier on the ears.
I'm glad we chose to use the Mew version of the theme from Emerald, it feels much more complete!
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.
- All of the new Pokemon have been given their Nob Ogasawara-localised names, where applicable. Skimper, Bawligua, and Cryithan have completely new names, (Squeamata, Ministare and Iguanarch), made by me with a lot of help from Plague Von Karma!
- Squeamata and Ministare have new sprites courtesy of Albatross. Crobat and the Alolan forms of Golem, Persian, Sandslash and Raticate have also been updated.
- Sandy Shocks can no longer learn Metal Sound.
- Luxwan and Sirfetch'd can no longer learn Hyper Beam.
- A handful of Pokedex entries have been rewritten or altered slightly.
This completes the Tradeback learnsets, which will now be imported to the PS side for the 1.4 update. Much of these aren't very groundbreaking meta-wise, but there are a few new sleepers that people may enjoy.
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.
