Diamond hack: Pokémon DarkDiamond

I think that many people would wonder, how you were able to insert the scripts (including me.)
Therefore i thought that you could maybe tell us which programs you use?
BTW this looks like it's going to be very good.
Keep up the good work

I have been working on inserting Brendan, and I have his overworld and front sprite. In this picture you can see a battle with Cynthia, which has her BW sprite. This battle is only for test, so it won't appear in the final game:

Hey I like the verse screen. =D It looks pretty cool. Especially Brendan. Also, let me get this straight. Is this a DS hack of Diamond, correct? I read comments above saying Emerald/FireRed. Also, I like the HG/SS 3D models. =) Good luck on this hack. It seems pretty nice so far.

I know it probally doesn't matter, but I have a revamped Brendan/May/Wally sprite for DS you could use.

Well, I already have this one from Coronis, but send it to me if you want, because I'm giving credit to Coronis but maybe he won't let me use his sprite. And I haven't planned for now to insert May and Wally...

Hm... it's great that we're seeing more 4th generation hacks on the forums these days. It just shows that we don't really need to wait for a map editor to be made. ;)

You could maybe try changing the possition of the texture models via a hex editor, I'm sure if one is to learn how to do it then it would become more easier to do. I have to learn to hex edit a NDS file.
Then of course learning how to editing the values of the movement permissions on the squares.

Yes, I know how to do it, but I don't think I will need it, although maybe I will edit some maps, but only minor changes.

Also, I have fixed A LOT of bugs in the game, and I have corrected the instrument glitches with the BW tracks I inserted. Now we even have remixes!

Hello, I'm back again, and I have a big announcement for you: I won't use FireRed anymore, I'm now using Emerald. This change was made due to some issues with FireRed. So please, I need to change "Firered hack:" to "Emerald hack:"

Click to expand...

If you think it's possible. Emerald, I learned from a friend, is very unstable. What problems with firered were you experiencing?
EDIT: nvm Since i saw you switched back to a diamond hack, I just love the idea! If you need any spriting done at all, just pm me. I'd love to learn how to hack nds roms too.

Well I don't. It isn't that difficult to script on nds.

He probably used PPRE and a program like BTX Editor and PokeDSPicDP.

BTW Pichu, this hack is gonna be great! Keep up the great work! Question: How did you inserted the new buildings? I can't find a program like that for my hack...

I'm not going to show you how I did it FOR NOW, because I want this hack to be the first with this feature. But I'm sure that if you know a bit of hex and how the DS filesystem works you'll be able to do it. Afterall, it's not too complicated, and you'll only have to face problems with the textures.

Problem is that I'm hacking HGSS and I can't find the right narc file.

EDIT: If you won't tell me then please tell me how you did edit the game's logo at the start of the game... In return I'll tell you how to edit the game's pictogram!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

I have a Christmas gift for you. It's on the first page, under the "Downloads" section...

I have fixed the UPS patch. Now it should work fine with the Diamond rom. If not, try to use the "create new file" function and check the "bypass checksum" option.

in source input file to apply patch to : roms or files .ups

Hey!This hack is awesome!
I played it on my DS 3 times xD
If it`s anything I can help you it (sprites and sprites insertion) Tell Me!
I`ll gladly help :D

Nice hack but I prefer that you also change the female character and the rival.

I like the characters from DP, so I will keep them. They are not bad, I think.

Nice contest... I'll make one when I'll have time to do so. An NPC in-game is nice, but... I'm making a ds hack where I'll obviously have a NPC in-game :P So it's not something very special for me :P
