Just wondering, are you saying the whole tileset or just that part of it? |
I'm talking about the ice part. I forgot that that one had a couple of different cave tiles ~_~
|
Underrated second tileset, hmm?
Dunno, really... Meteor Falls. Nobody ever seems to use it, and it's the best cave tileset ever, I reckon. xP |
Meteor Falls is seriously underrated, however it is hard to map with it if you don't know what you are doing, due to the variety of mountains, tiles, extra features and things like that. Most Ruby hacks I have seen either only have a minor change in these maps or replaced the Meteor Falls tileset (like in Battle Fire, where they used a jungle instead).

Is this proper usage of those tiles? Yes, I put those tiles into a Moonshine at some point. =D I love Emerald's caves that much. No, don't worry about the waterfall errors. |

Although I guess Meteor Falls isn't suited to large maps... Eh, I can get around that. =P |

You must leave the secret technique of MeteorFallMapping in the hands of those who deserve it. >=[ The ones that figure it out themselves. >=[ The tiles can still be used normally, of course, just for a much weaker effect. |

New discussion: Do you preffer to read tutorials, or test though a lot errors and trials, or you ask a lot of quostiens?
|
Trial and error for me, always the way I went. Learned scripting through observing Game Freak's scripts.
|
Hmm... Sometimes Trial and Error (especially with expanding a Block Data in Tilesets, as it can create a world of problems, as well as I learnt to Tile Insert with no tutorial), but I mostly read tutorials, as they are helpful.

I only ask a lot of questions when every single script that I make doesn't work like I imagened it. xD |
I read tut and then test it... it eventually comes out as I wanted to.
|
I read a tutorial to get down the basics and then I do some trial and error. :P
|
It depends on the subject. Mapping for me is all trial and error. I map my own way, use the tiles how I want to, and if I make an error, I correct it. Scripting on the other hand requires references such as an item/pokemon hexadecimal list whilst doing bigger scripts. So, for scripting, I'd use a tutorial, or more likely, a text file containing the list. Graphics editing; however, would leave me with more than one tutorial. Although, if I'm just correcting a sprite (like a few pixels), it's trial and error. But, like I said, it depends.
New Topic Also, I had a thought a few minutes ago. What is a "hack"? When we think of a "hack", at least in pokemon, we take in the graphics, maps, and events/scripts. But, with a "hack" in definition is a modification of a file by use of a program (in our case, and yes this includes hexadecimal editors) or specific code. But, by definition, a hack is a single modification of said file. So, when we change a map, going by this definition, it is a complete "hack" or change. But, in our sense of the word, a "hack" is many modifications of one file, in this case a ROM. So, what do you think a "hack" is? One lone modification, or many? |

I'd like to start with a new topic ;D
My question is: Is the press start in the title screen necessary? I think it isn't. When trying to insert a background with lots and lots of colors, those 2 taken up by the image could really be used elsewhere and make it better. It's like having a book saying, "open cover". So, anybody wanna talk it up? |
You don't have to make the start button gray, and black. you can make it green for all I care. I do find it nesisary, I feel like the title screen is missing something if it dosen't have it.

aww, I am so sorry, I didn't see it. :P(I hate when that happends to me)
I think when pokemon rom hacking first came out a single modification was considered a compleat hack(like just adding one dp pokemon), but as we advanced a single modification dose not cut it. So now the defeintion as changed, for it to be considered a compleat hack you have to have a lot of changes. |
Quote:
By definition, a hack is what you said, but most people prefer to call that just a simple edit, since no real work is done. That is basically the whole discussion right there. Quote:
Since we were talking about meteor falls, am I the only person who noticed that Mt. Moon has somewhat similar tiles? It also has those little walls to show how steep the cave is. |
