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.
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.
The groundwork for Brunswick Trail events has been done. Wild data, Cactus event, and Zapdos-G events are set up, plus an NPC. This also makes the Fake Tree sprite available.
I made the warp at the tunnel in Brunswick goes directly to Celeste Hill and back. Warp tile made functional.
Many bugs right now:
- Cactus doesn't disappear after battling it. Also, making this work how I want it to is hard.
- Pokemon are encountered on every tile, which is likely because it's considered to be indoors. In trying to fix this, I seemed to completely screw up the maps, so this isn't being committed. Handle this with care.
- I made a spriteset specifically for Citrine, but it doesn't seem to be working for Brunswick, likely because Brunswick is an indoor map and thus isn't just taking it.
Misc. changes:
- Moved Sandy Shocks to a 4% encounter slot in Mt. Moon Crater to be equal to Scream Tail.
- Restored the proper translation for the "rotten PRESIDENT" scientist, courtesy of Dr. Lava and Nob Ogasawara.
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?
This adds Pikachu, Cat, and "Small Bird" menu icons. The cat has a custom animation done by myself.
The Jigglypuff in the Pokemon Centre now uses the new sprite, nice 'n' pretty. Officer Jenny is also in Cerulean. The Pokemon from Melanie's house in Yellow have been put in Mr. Fuji's House, given the purpose of the house in RB is different. I think it ends up fitting very nicely.
Chansey has been given its proper sprite in Fuschia. Yellow didn't actually do this, as Chansey doesn't have a walk cycle, causing the stuff that exists to go unused. I wanted it, though, so I had Chansey just not walk and turn around. Oh, and it's in all the Pokemon Centres now. Yeah, that's a...lot of changed files.
Some big dubs for KEP today. This commit backports the Yellow overworld spriteset, and also adds the cat sprite for Meowth. This allows Jessie and James to use their overworld sprites in the Rocket House and serves as groundwork for backporting their other events.
There are altered Daisy and Nurse Joy sprites that may or may not warrant usage. That can be discussed.
Naturally, this also means there's a ton of overworld sprites to use elsewhere. Revamps of the "Bulbasaur house" in Cerulean and the Surfing Pikachu sprite change come to mind.
An & symbol has been backported from GSC for Jessie and James's trainer class as well.
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.
A three-stage Bug line that mirrors the Caterpie and Weedle lines, being an old design for Weedle's evolutions. Pudi, Hinaazu and Betobebii have been removed, though.
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.
turns out the last time we tried removing disobedience, pokemon wouldn't attack. also reworked the texts to remove references to it, as well as some SS Anne stuff
- Regional trades now dummy out the "-A" thing etc so they look nice
- Added Celadon, Saffron, Viridian, and Vermillion regional trades
- Added Galarian Sidegrade trades to the S. S. Anne, but Perrserker and Sirfetch'd specifically don't work. I have zero clue why, as they work the same as the rest.
- Corrected grammar in the "Happy" text when you finish a trade
- Puts back Channelers to allow progress for now; currently goes to undefined places
- Tweaked two trainer parties with odd mons
- Jessie/James sprite in proper place
- Put little girl text back because it caused a problem
- One Celadon Gym cut tree removed to allow cut-less progress
- Fixed the rival picking the wrong team vs eevee
- Fixed the rival loading wrong in s.s. anne
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!
I changed the P image to match the font used in the prototype assets.
Also, because Yujirou has a pic all alone in that one bank, I added the other 4 beta trainer classes that never got used. They're all ready to be used, just need teams and a place to go, but I want to address trainer line-ups last code-wise.
This code has a lot of problems with solutions that me and Frrf can't seem to figure out. We've taken a lot of references from Erika's Gym but we've got many bugs after Yujirou is defeated, such as one case where you end up instantly doing the rematch fight, which is insane because there's no way this can actually happen.
What's committed is a fight that can be re-fought when it shouldn't.
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.
Reworks the Pokedex to accommodate for the regional forms, changes a title screen graphic, and cleans up a few base stat files (will do the rest later). Also revised a few dex entries (special thanks to my girlfriend for Gyopin's!)
So some bits of this are untested, but the base starters are unaffected. I had to work a lot with the sprite limits so Oak's lab has been changed a bit.
This adds a Pikachu and Eevee "mode" to the game, allowing you to pick them as starters. When doing so, the Rival will always pick the opposite.
There are some glitches;
- Picking Charmander makes Blue erase himself from existence
- Picking from anywhere other than the front of the table may have odd results.
- Oak has to be shown in the lab at the start from now on for some reason; side effect of removing the dexes, there's definitely a fix for this.
These are from me not finishing the ball picking process - it was a little weird.
Parties based on starters have been updated but I had to cut out a lot of unused trainer slots.
Also the unused names were removed.
- Replaces the Old Rod with the Candy Sack, an item to evolve Meltan into Melmetal. Meltan and Melmetal aren't in yet.
- Improves Gym Leader and Elite Four AI by a lot. They still use items, they're just better. Fixes XSpecial use while we're at it; before, it didn't actually increase the stat...
- The Scarlet Book now takes up both shelves, one section for each Paradox Pokemon. I also moved the bookshelf so it looks nicer.
- Text in Celadon University has been reduced significantly, taking up less memory and being a bit more RBY-like. It has also been made more accurate (thanks to Daiginjo for translating my booklet!)
- The Magikarp researcher in Celadon University now gives TM Dragon Rage (no longer unused!)
- Added a guard for Mt. Moon Crater.
- Removed TrainerNamePointers, Blank Leader Name Code, and Dakutens/Hakutens using a guide published by YakiNeen.
- PP no longer uses a shitty graphic and is instead properly implemented into the font, optimising the status screen. Also displays in-battle which is kinda cool.
- Lorelei, Bruno, and Agatha now play the Gym Leader theme, not just Lance.
Still unsure how to fix Celadon University's trainers, all I know is a lot of the information should be taken from the Oak fight I did. The code is radically different and doesn't call trainer headers at all. You'll likely want to start from scratch.
The Mt. Moon Crater Guard's text is a little wonky, not sure what's up there. May have been from the way I accessed Mt. Moon in testing. Anyway, if you want to mess around feel free.
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.
Adding the maps for Silph's Gauntlet, along with Albatross's Galarian Bird sprites. Also fixing Blottle's typing, and temporarily replacing the effects of the recover moves.
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
Underwater Tunnel is a new area that links Route 25 to Route 10, basically just being a straight tunnel needing Surf to traverse.
Also given Seafoam Islands and Lorelei's room an unused palette that gives it a more icy feel
