Custom Backsprite (hair made by thethethethe)

This is a patch for Pokemon Ruby that changes the font to the one used in Pokemon Emerald, and also enables Palette 12 to be used in tilesets.

Since this patch can hardly be called a "hack" I'm going to post it here.

This FR patch allows you to randomize each starter choice from a predetermined list. The default is each of the first three generations' starters, but with a little bit of scripting knowledge you can change or expand the list to fit your needs.

This is not the same as a randomizer, which randomizes the starters but then is the same each time. The randomization is built into the game, meaning every time you play/reset, the starter choices will be different.

Here is the patch.

It uses the space between CFF000 and CFF600 or so, and changes the pokeball scripts in Oak's lab as well as gary's to work around the randomization.

And here are some brief instructions on how to edit the pokeball scripts to make the list whatever you like (uses XSE 1.1.1):

A sprite of Ninfia, I did:


My first impression of it was, that it looked like something Victini could evolve into or someone went and fused Victini and Eevee, haha.

This is a patch containing JPAN's save block recycling ASM routine. The routine is placed from A00000-A000E8. It consolidateing the save blocks in FireRed to free up a good amount of ram which can then be used for other projects. The link to the origional post in which he posted his routine is here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=6993092&postcount=206

This patch is for a clean FireRed BPRE v.1.0:
JPAN's save_block_recycle_routine.ips

This instructions for inserting this routine by hand are not all that clear which is why I was advocated by Jambo51 to post it after he helped me install it on FireRed. Some credit also goes to shinyquagsire for the location of where to place the pointer to the routine.

Indexed Juan Overworld Sprites in the style of FireRed. You'll have to insert a new palette to use it (or try to shoehorn it into one of the preset ones).



You don't have to give credit but I'll think you're an ugly person if you don't.

No walking sprites because he's a gym leader ;)

So... sorry if I've done something stupid or posted this to the wrong place, first of all.


I've gone and made a patch that should decapitalize BPEE (English) Emerald roms. I've noticed nothing so far as one that's actually "production ready", just a few broken links to Wichu's and some promises to make one. Or rather, not ones that are meant to serve as a base and/or don't come with a lot of other changes (graphical edits, "controversial" name changes, 386 edits, etc.).


I've tested it, but only so far; it's not 100% confirmed to be serious error free and it's not going to be 100% free of typos at this point. I have however opened it and can confirm that the game boots, runs fine, can complete battles, captures, etc. and it really is rather presentable, and is basically complete.

After some more personal edits (which I'll isolate from this patch), I'll play through the game to try and edit it myself. Any thing I notice I'll note and try to make an updated patch when I'm done. This may take some time, though, and I'll be getting busier soon. I've gone through Petalburg personally from a fresh file, and nothing stood out.

I estimate it's upwards 95% complete. There may be some itemS like errors lurking deep within the rom, and the trendy phrases are simply without elegant solution. There's some consistency issues with the way I named things as well, but they're so utterly trivial to solve.

My method was to use index lists from Bulbapedia and manually edit things with goldfinger. Beyond that, I opened them up with PGE*, but this was primarily to check for errors (the ability editor, for example, will crash if a word ending FF gets overwritten, making it a nice quick checker). If you would like to use this, please do go ahead without restraint; I make no request for credit (truly).

I am uploading this because despite my lack of optimism it really is essentially complete - that or I really am ready to be done with it. If you want to improve it yourself, though, go right ahead. You have my full permission to use this however you see fit, from including it in tools or your hacks, whatever.

*ONLY* text has been edited. The only "controversial" change I believe I've made is renaming the cool trainer class to Ace Trainer. No roster edits, script edits, battle edits, inserted palattes, or so on.

Here are some indexed 64x64 sprites from Pokémon Black 2/White 2.
No credit required.

My attempt at making a sprite for Mewtwo's New Form, a lot of heavy editing, haha:

I have had a heck of a time finding a Drake sprite (OW or trainer) for GBA... so I decided to make one ;)


will need to be indexed


Ready to be inserted (use palette 6 for FR)

I had the same issue with Luana

again, needs to be indexed...


Ready to be inserted... (use palette 3 with FR)

I had no need for an Prof Ivy battle sprite... but I did need an OW

she was difficult due to lack of a perfect Palette, I went with Palette 5 in FR. (she is ready to be inserted btw)
Using Palette 5 gave me some unneeded greens, so I added some trimmings to her lab coat ;)

Credit isnt required, but it is appreciated ;)

thanks

*UPDATE*
Here is a Kimono Girl (from gen 2)


just standing.

Here is a cowboy like character (Ethan from season 2 of the anime)

just a battle sprite

I created a scientist main character for one of my hacks... you are welcome to use it but this took ages so pleas credit:


This is a lab COAT to replace the BAG:


I also made a few orange islands pokemon sprites (from the anime)


you can find more graphics by me here:

A Yveltal sprite people can use in their hacks:

Feel free to use it if you please, made a front sprite for Pancham:

I made a MIDI, .s and Track files for Goldenrod City to be inserted into Fire Red.

There's a guide inside the .zip for reference on what to do, I reccomend at least knowingSappy before trying this, else you'll get nowhere, if problems come find me.

It's about time I post this here:
Force Male Gender Patch for FireRed
This patch makes FireRed act like its first-gen counterpart by removing the choice of gender. Of course, while the patch is called "force male gender", it's really only limiting you to one gender, which can be edited to be male or female.

The link is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?wwb0cujuyy7wt7t
Can be applied to any hack, even ones that have already been started.

Hacked-Up Base


Basically, this is just a patch that'll turn your ROM into a ready-to-hack machine. I've applied a few things that should make it more easier to hack.

Includes

• Extended available flags: You can now use flags from 900 to 18FF with ASM patch from Jambo!
• New Font: What's better? You can change the font to whatever you want, and it won't screw up anything!
• Decapitalization
• Removal of Duplicate Moves: If you've used any Pokemon editor that changes movesets, you've noticed that they tend to have duplicate moves. All of these duplicates have been removed, freeing up 250 moves for use.
• Pre-Started Compatibility: The flag-extending ASM was applied at offset 0x71A240, meaning it shouldn't overwrite anything you've already added! Everything else takes up no space.

There was an loading issue with the patch, so I'm gonna fix it. Sorry! Fixed!

Not sure if I'm allowed to double post so if not I'll just edit this to the one above

I made some custom overworlds from scratch for my hack, but when I finished the battle sprite for it I realized that I should never be allowed to touch Paint. Indexed and can be inserted directly into Ruby using palette 5 (and with some minor color editing, can be inserted into FireRed using palette 5 as well). The backside walking animations need editing. The hair doesn't swish around and the step looks too big in-game. Also, you can probably use it for either the hero or the heroine - I realized how girly this guy looks.


Credit if used, I made that from scratch.

Hey yall

Updated my decap patch for Emerald BPEE.

I should have fixed ~99% of the remaining true errors. Some things, sadly, lack elegant solutions. Hopefully, nothing really jarring remains.

I might not be coming back to this for a while (ever), just a heads up. It wasn' t really fun to do and even less is had now that I' ve finished replaying Emerald.

Feel free to improve it yourself - no credit needed here. Just please keep it alive (circulating and getting improved among hackers).




(Helping this page show up in searches: decap decapitalisation decapitalization emerald )

EDIT:

I'm not in a position to be updating this atm. So I'll make a list of known errors for correction (anyone may improve on it freely):

*Electrode misspelled Electrobe
*Gulpin is Guplin
*Milk Drink is Milk Drick.

*Some "endgame" things not properly decapped (notably some Battle Frontier related things and stuff relating to getting the shell bell).

*No elegant solution to EasyChat means weirdness there. Iirc, though, most things have been rendered sentence-initial (so like "Azubuky Vedeglagloli"). Not an exact error.

*-Possible- minor corruption. More likely related to other things I did, though, such as event insertion and shopmaking. Never got a crash at least, even playing on a flashcart. Without the other things I did I got no bag sprite corruption, but with I did. Might be related, might not be.

Use with discretion I guess.

I made an overworld base, for Fire Red and Leaf Green.
No need for credits.

I realized that not very many hackers know about this, so I thought I should post it here, since it is specifically intended for ROM hackers to use.

If anyone is looking for sprites of all Gen IV and V Pokemon, perfectly resized and cleaned up, and assembled into sheets that are ready for use with Wichu's Sprite Editor, then look here:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=267728

All Gen IV and V Pokemon are complete. Currently, Gen I, II, and III sprites are being worked on, so then hackers can have an entire spriteset of all 649 Pokemon in a single, unified art style.

Some examples of what's in the thread:
