Max, how did you do the animated sky on the water? Im learning RGSS/Ruby, Im only curious what the process behind it is. My idea if I were to do it is setting the animated fog/reflection on a very low Z, right above "pitch black nothingness", then have the water actually be transparent, so it just shows the animated bg.

Ace requires the assets to be in VX style, so you'd have to edit the assets to work in Ace. It's not hard to do though. Scripts from XP however are not generally compatible. Pokemon Essentials especially isn't, given all that it does.

I've been looking at this for about ten minutes and can't figure out how you're meant to get to the cave entrance in the bottom right. Is this an exit-only scenario? I'm trying to solve it backwards but I end up in a loop of places that can't be reached without already being on another square that also can't be reached without already being in this loop.

I'm also currently optimizing my water animations, so my code for it is subject to change.
This should get you to where I am though:

You need to use my WIP Gen 5 tiles found in the OP or make your water tiles 33-50% transparent.

Define
>@panoramalag=0
at the beginning of def initialize (~line 139) in "Spriteset_Map"

In "def update",
Replace
>@panorama.ox = @map.display_x / 8
>@panorama.oy = @map.display_y / 8
with
>@panoramalag += 1

>if @panoramalag==6
> @panorama.ox -= 1
> @panorama.oy -= -1
> @panoramalag=0
>end
>@panorama.update if @panoramalag % 2 == 0

Set pic related as your panorama layer and it should animate underneath all transparent tiles on the map.

Working/conceptualizing a game about catching Legendaries. Unfortunately, I don't know where to find on-map sprites for several of them, especially Gen V (which is as far as Essentials goes, and I'm not going to start ROM hacking until I have a good grip on Pokemon game design). Bulbapedia doesn't have them and Google-fu didn't give me anything helpful.

Also, is Team SCAR (S[omething] Corporation Asset Recovery) too edgy a name?

It's essentials.
The Pikaclone is a hamster with cheek pouches. I want it's gimmick to be that it can hold any combination of two berries at once.
>Sitrus+Sitrus
>Sitrus+Leppa
Etc etc
It's just hard to conceptualize how to have two item slots and for berries to activate in conjunction with each other.

You can't have two item slots without changing a lot of code. Unless you have a lot of experience, try to think of something else. I could code it for you, but many parts of the game (AI, party menu, consuming items etc) would need a lot of adjusting.

It doesn't need to be two separate slots if that's a problem. Just as long as it can hold two berries. It's only for one pokemon. I don't know if that matters. I'm a total noob.

>Resists Light, Fire, Fairy, Fighting, Dragon, Bug,

What do you think the next big gimmick will be in Gen.8? We got Mega Evolution in Gen 6 and Z-Moves in Gen 7. I keep trying to come up with a new gimmick, but it seems like there are none. Form changes and super moves pretty much covers it.
Unless you give them Super Abilities or some shit like that.

The hell are you doing man. Bug needs all the help it can get right now. Also I don't think it needs to resist Fighting either considering Fighting got insanely nerfed by Fairy anyways.
>Poison and Ghost immunity
Those types already have types that they're ineffective against. Poison doesn't even make sense conceptually. Maybe keep Ghost if logic matters so much, but Poison definitely doesn't need that kind of nerf.

PKSM is giving me hell right now. Can someone tell me what's going on?

1. It glitched out one of my pokemon, CHILD MOLESTER the meowstic. Now I can't take it out of storage.

2. It deleted two of my shinies out of existence.

3. It cloned one of my shinies.

4. When I try to edit my pokemon, it says "Launch the client on your PC."

Having trouble choosing here. My original plan has 18 towns but I'm thinking of shaving off a couple. Is more = better in this scenario, or is having 18 just too cluttered? Keep in mind that two are postgame and the quantity won't have any impact on the quality anyway (I hope). 16 or 18? 17 isn't an option because I hate 17.

If you think the routes are too long, add the towns to break up the travel. But if breaking up the routes and giving the player a place to heal is their only purpose, just use a comfy house the player can heal at.

Because like it or not, Mega Evolution and Z Moves made Gen 6 and Gen 7 that much funner. They really pushed boundaries with that shit. I want to introduce something like that, something new that'll make my game feel super legit. I already have a concept for item crafting. Like gathering shards to make evolution stones, but totally expanded.
I'll use Kingdom Hearts as a guideline. Like you'd gather ×5 Red Shards, x2 Charcoal, and a new item specifically for forging like a metal. Then you'd take these items to a forge and the guy would make you a necklace that boosts a pokemon's Fire type moves by 50% as well as granted resistance to water moves. It's a consumable item that depletes after battle.
That's just one example. But it's something like that.

Things relevant to battles include species, moves, items, and abilities. Mega Evolution and Z-Moves covered the first two, so maybe there'll be some kind of upgrade to items or abilities. It's hard to imagine what would distinguish them from just being very powerful examples of items/abilities, though.

Fusion is kind of a fandom cliché, but it could make double battles more interesting if done right.

Or maybe a "final form"/"berserk mode"/"shadow" mechanic, increasing power at the expense of disobedience, or gradual damage, or some other penalty.

I think I may be on to something. It's such a common rpg element (item crafting) I'm surprised Gamefreak hasn't expanded on it yet.
>Recipes list the items you can make
>Must have recipes to craft items
>Gather the ingredients needed for the item
>Bring them to the Forge
>Get your MOTHERFUCKING GODDAMN ITEM
The items are wearable and cannot be knocked out.
I picture a charm that works like Serene Grace. Or an a ring that prevents the depletion of your moves for a while.

An easier approach would be to just say that all Berries are eaten twice, aka. have their effects doubled. Yeah you can't hold two different Berries, but it'd be MUCH easier to program.

>Mega Evolution made Gen 6 that much funner.
There are like three three in-game trainers who use a Mega in XY and like five in ORAS (including postgame trainers). It added almost nothing to the games.

I will give you Z-Moves though, just because you actually see them throughout the game. As much as I hate SM for other reasons, Z-Moves were a good addition for boss battles, I actually almost lost once or twice because a trainer pulled out a Z-Moves (mainly against the first kahuna, I would've won easily if they used a normal attack instead of a Z-Move, I had to use my shitmons in the back of my party to win and only made it because of a Quick Attack).

To be clear, I meant having some process where you give an "empty/plain" crafted item to a Pokémon and do something to put that Pokémon's ability in the item. Not just crafted items that happen to work like abilities.

So, Speed Boost Blaziken can wear an item that gives it Moxie as well.
Those class of items are hard to come by for balance reasons. And, as I said before, the items "burn out", become useless, after a battle.

As the person who made the old pastebin and is too lazy to update it, I give my blessing if you want to update it yourself, though I'm not too much a fan of your laconic descriptions.

As to links, I think it would be a good idea if we copies /vr/'s approach and had a mega.nz folder with every hack in the pastebin.

And for Essentials, I think they should be in their own separate pastebin if people want to start collecting those into a list. Myself and many others refuse to touch Essentials just out of disliking the engine, and while there's of course an overlap I consider Essentials users to be a different base of people.

You would have to add extra room in Pokémon data so they can always hold two items. I'm assuming this is a ROMhack, so that's definitely 8.7 kilohards without a disassembly. I think you could do it in pokeruby, but there's not much room for extra data in pokered or pokecrystal, you'd have to move some shit around to make room.

How far are you into your hack? Moving to pokeruby may be valuable if you want to push the boundary in ways like that.

What kind of answer are you looking for? If someone says "oh yeah it's easy" then will you suddenly be able to do it?

If you know how Essentials works, how ROMhacking works, and how assembly programming works, then you should be able to choose which to use based on which one you can do best.

As for how hard it is, well, think about all the things you'll need to change to make dual held items work: the "give item/take item" menus; the stats screen; the item activation code; the party data structures...

And you'll need to design logic for how dual items will activate at all. If I'm holding a Pecha Berry and a Lum Berry I get poisoned, which one activates? The one in slot 1? Or if I'm holding a Wiki Berry and a Persim Berry, and the Wiki Berry confuses me, will the Persim Berry cure it? No matter which order they're held in? How will Thief work? Or Fling, or Acrobatics? If I'm holding two Air Balloons, how does that work? Would two Magnets stack their effects? How do Wide Lens and Zoom Lens stack? What about Lagging Tail and Quick Claw? Or two Amulet Coins?

I'm not asking because it's hard to answer these questions, but because you need to have some kind of answer, or else your "feature" is just "hey wouldn't two items be so cool dude". And once you have thought about what all needs updating, you'll know how much work it'll take.

If you want to use a metal or some other element, just pick any cool-sounding name from the table of elements. Personally I'd suggest going for something that fits the plot or gimmick of your game. Uranium had all that nuclear radiation stuff for example.

In fact let me make a list of sections that will need rewriting if anybody wants to do it for you:

Party (display more than one item, attach more than one item)
AI (how would Pokémon with two items behave? Also any behaviour checking for berries should be adapted)
Summary (Display two items)
Bag (Attaching, taking from)
PC (Moving items, displaying)
Battler (for basically any ability related to berries)
Moves (see above)

Might be missing something. DESU if you don't know Ruby and don't want to recruit someone to do it for you, I'd just think of something simpler, or just use Cheek Pouch.

If someone really wanted to be a pioneer, they would just make a new engine that had better optimization. It would benefit both them and everyone else.

I would say "brand new original engine" beats both ROMhacking and Essentials though I'd continue ROMhacking regardless because I fetishize Gen 2, but given the choice between just those two I'll always pick ROMhacks, and I avoid Essentials games like the plague.
