I love the new battle backround and cherrygroves frlg look! P.S the demo is AWESOME!!!
Thanks chimchar8. :)
Here's my review of what you've got so far:
1. Your routes/cities are really small. Remember, this is GBA. GBA can do much better than that...
2. In Elm's lab, the Pokeballs are gray O_o...
3. Consistency error: Your towns/cities/routes have lowercase letters, but their signposts are in all caps. For instance, "New Bark Town"'s signpost says "NEW BARK TOWN"
4. Corrupted music: I'm also hacking Emerald, so I've experienced this. For some reason hacking Emerald can corrupt your music so some instruments/melodies sound "8-bit". The way how I avoid that is simply to constantly make backups, and whenever you insert/overwrite something, I keep choosing a different offset until I select one that doesn't corrupt my instruments.
Since it's already too late (unless if you have a backup that doesn't have messed up instruments), maybe you could try "fixing" the voicegroup by going to the offset with a hex editor (Sappy shows you where), and then using the hex editor to copy the voicegroup bytes from a clean Emerald rom. I haven't tried this, however, so I don't know if it works.
5. Why does your mother have the exact same sprite as the FR/LG mom? I seriously doubt that the FR/LG protagonist and the G/S/C protagonist have the same mother...
6. Signpost in Route 29 doesn't work.
7. Don't use D/P/Pt/HG/SS backsprites. It looks horrible on GBA.
8. If you're going to use HG/SS sprites, at least re-size them properly... some D/P/Pt/HG/SS Pokemon sprites that exceed 64x64 look really sloppy in a GBA game.
9. Galactic Grunt says, "Phew... Finally bet MAY".
10. The Pokemon Center music you're using is horrible... Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but it sounds very "empty" compared to standard GBA Pokemon music.
Heres my review on your post...
1. I don't want them to be too big. I only want them to be the size of GSC's maps, a bit bigger to fit the new tiles.
2. Yeah, I completely forgot to fix them! ^^ They're fixed now.
3. Yeah. They're supposed to be like that.
4. I noticed that, but I'll be having my own custom voicegroups for the new music.
5. I know that, but in most GSC remakes the FR/LG mum is the same. But anyway, that has been changed.
6.
Signpost in Route 29 doesn't work. Fixed.
7. I think they're okay...
8. Yeah, I noticed that. But I used Wichu's HGSS sprite pack. :P
9.
Galactic Grunt says, "Phew... Finally bet MAY". Fixed.
10. It was already inserted into Emerald. I might change it so it sounds a bit different, though.
Anyway, thanks for your comment. :)
I love the new beta. Its not so good but its only a start!
Heh... Thanks.
I think he did that on purpose. They're actually silver.
Where can you find that corrupted music?
I think not.
That music was already inserted in Emerald, if I'm correct.
The beta was enjoyable, but some things like those overlapping trees are bothering me, are you sure you're going to fix it?
Well, to be honest I didn't do it on purpose ^^ I just forgot to change the palletes. :P
Thanks H2O! And do you mean the errors of the Overlapping Trees? I'll see if I can fix them, if not I'll resize the tree so it will fit in properly, so I don't have to worry about 2 pixels in length anymore :P
Updates!
Gaaaahhh! I was so lazy today, apart from fixing the bugs from my tester, and Chaos Rush. Well, I have done the titlescreen... It's not the best I could do, but if I have in update, I will update it. :)
Thanks you guys. I'll post the updated patch with most of the bug fixes soon.
