While this could possibly be my favourite post of all time, is there any chance you could elaborate on what you actually mean by horrible amount of info on anything? I'm interested to see what you feel is complicated, especially when ROM Hacking has been immensely simplified over the past 5 years.THE HORRID AMOUNT OF INFO ON ANYTHING!
A-Map hardly needs an update, we should be happy that we have a tool that allows us to actually do the maps. Go back just a little longer and you'll see that people didn't even have map editors and mapping was done in a hex editor. Take it from someone who has been around a while, ROM Hacking has vastly progressed over the past five years. When I began my first hack people would have laughed if I had said that I wanted a Day and Night or a Physical/Special system. Maybe if someone else hasn't done enough research on something that you would like to implement then you should look into it yourself and be the innovator. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't believe anyone these days should discredit the amount of information available to them when you can go back 5 years and we'd be laughing at the notion of half the stuff that is freely available these days.R&D is full of interesting threads that were over years yet were so short... That amazes me that in 5 years nothing new was really done... EXAMPLE: advancemap 1.95 beta is still beta... no 1.95 release or 1.96 in sight, I would think a 2.0 release might be something that would happen in 2014, but Lu-Ho Quit hacking and he either told people not to take over the project or nobody decided to...
When I insert a script then ♥♥♥♥s up the rom and I don't know how to fix it. More ♥♥♥♥ed up if I have no back up, that's a pain.
