AM and EM are made to recognize the tileset, but are also programmed with the default image dimensions. It will only show what is within those dimensions. Sorry.
BTW, this looks great, can't wait to see it finished!

Green Charizard July 16th, 2006 10:38 PM

Oh thats a pain, now there's one for LU-HO for the next Advancemap... I's ok though, I'll re-arange the tiles and repoint it, ths makes it awkward as it no longer appears in UNLZ, but you can import and write it to it's new position. Looks like I' gonna have to release a tutorial on how to do this with the release. Anyway I've done another position of the stairs:

Comments?

SephirothX July 16th, 2006 11:08 PM

Comments? OK. That's a view of the stairs from behind, right? Do they actually have that in D/P or are you making that up? Also, I only see one. Anyway, this looks good, and it'd be nice to know how to change the tiles with unLZ-GBA, please give that tutorial.

There is, I wont make things up in my games titles. Proof:
http://img365.imageshack.us/img365/5819/backxx6.pnghttp://img89.imageshack.us/img89/5742/downlj1.png It's not perfect yet though. For tiles in UNLZ just go to 1617 and save it, import it, change palette if needed. PM me if u need help.
EDIT: New pic of overworlds
http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/3889/newth3.png I've done a few more, but all poses aren't done, but I'm whizzing through them.
Anyone want to see/ force me to make and show, a character.

doesn't matter July 18th, 2006 3:28 AM

Wow, your Pearl looks good, and so does that Bald guy.

Anyway, can you show us a Nurse Joy (since we'll be seeing her alot).

Green Charizard July 18th, 2006 8:31 AM

Thanks, I'll make her later, it is actually in a screen thats been released, keep watcing as I'll edit to avoid double post.

Wow, a daily visitor! Right, thanks, here's the request, been busy though, I've been beeing interviewed on MSN.

Interviewed? For .rhw? Neat!
Nice job so far, the characters look great!

Chimou July 18th, 2006 3:01 PM

The main problem with this is that Diamond and Pearl have 3D maps. You should keep that in mind. Stick with the 2D look of the GBA games.

But, I'm making it look 3D it's gonna be the same (sorta) the only thing it wont have is the perspective thattings get smaller in the distance like DP, but it doesn't spoil the maps or the game. Study the pictures on page one ad compare them to some of Diamond and Pearls, there's not much difference. Without this interface, the hack would be nothing. It is true what your saying but it can be avoided. Certain things such as houses have wobbly edges in DP as you more. That is down to 3d perspective, but if I give them standard straight lines then they can be used. Ok? Thanks for teking an interest anyway, possibly more pics l8r by the way, depends what I'm doing

Giratina Brain July 19th, 2006 4:46 PM

Looks pretty nice! I wonder how the D/P houses would look...

SephirothX July 19th, 2006 9:55 PM

This should be interesting. I'm definitely checking out ROM Hackers Weekly (which, I've noticed, isn't quite weekly...) to see if I can find your interview, GC! Good luck with the graphics!

Green Charizard July 19th, 2006 10:47 PM

Thanks, I think it should be renamed monthly. Well I hope he gets it. In case anyone cares, I have inserted the houses, but they're not lined up properly, nor in the right palette. So thats tonights job. Stay tuned viewers!

If it ever gets released :D

Well done for that.

I like the trees, but they could be better with a little shading. Heres a tree directly ripped from a screen shot with colours reduced down to 16:

Green Charizard July 20th, 2006 7:34 AM

Thanks, I may try it, but it wold mean sacrificing other palettes, wouldn't it? Iy's currently just the colours of the normal trees under a palette change. Thats the main problem, not enough palettes. That why most things are reduced, such as the trees. I'm gonna try to reduce mine to 2 tiles anyways, so I'll have a go later at finding a palette I won't use.
EDIT: For the sake of it, I made some fake box art, see my first post.

Cartmic July 21st, 2006 1:46 AM

Well iv not looked into the GBA system fully, but I beleive that the GBA uses 256 colours made up of 16, 16 colour pallets, so useing that tree souldnt be a problem.

Green Charizard July 21st, 2006 6:13 AM

Yeah, but it's shared with the rest of the tileset, so when I edit it I've got to figure out what I can and can't loose. But yes, you are correct in theory, it is possible, so thanks.
EDIT: New pic

doesn't matter July 21st, 2006 3:10 PM

Wow, that's a good sprite - much better than your Diamond one, and it's better than my one too.

What sprite/s did you make it from?

Green Charizard July 21st, 2006 11:06 PM

Thanks, but I can't take the credit, it's a rip from a screen. I've then done stretch/skew and reduced it to ruby's size. It is from ... this screen...
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/8012/battlevj8.png---->into----->http://img48.imageshack.us/img48/3382/pearlnm1.png

If anyone wants this they can have it:http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/7293/pearlpw0.png insert it, make sprites out of it, whatever.

I'm doing Diamonds back now, houses STILL arn't done. I hope to get them sorted soon. I might make a diamond sprite out of this too.

Has anyone any suggestions on what the title should look like?

doesn't matter July 22nd, 2006 3:33 AM

Why not make a traditional one.

Y'know, have Pokemon: Diamond Version up the top, then the Diamond legendary in the background.

Green Charizard July 22nd, 2006 5:17 AM

Good point, like ruby's with its shadow and it glows but in a blue sort of theme. Anyway new pic:

Hope everyone is happy with it. If not say so...

doesn't matter July 22nd, 2006 7:30 PM

Well it seems to me that the guy is too tall.

FaNtEcH July 22nd, 2006 10:51 PM

Blaziken Trainer July 22nd, 2006 11:11 PM

Thanks but some info on the site is wrong, it claims the starters to be Dorapion etc.

Thanks. If it was up to me, you'd have it all ready. But the poll says differently. So unless that changes it'll be when I mange to correctly insert houses. I also want to edit the trees again before release.

Korussive Acidsan July 23rd, 2006 8:53 PM

I like this game! Can I PM you some recoloured Pokemon from DP?
