Hello.
Around a month ago, ROM Hacking Hideout started a poll to measure the way in which people made use of the Pokeemerald-expansion.
Whether they used the Master branch, or they merged the 3 branches manually, whether they merged only 2 out of the 3, etc.
The results of that poll showed that the huge majority of the people used the Master branch, a certain number merged the 3 feature branches manually, and a low amount of people did anything else.
As a result, it was decided development for the Pokeemerald-expansion will now happen in the Master branch and the individual branches will be ditched.
That means no more
BATTLE_ENGINE
,
ITEM_EXPANSION
and
POKEMON_EXPANSION
labels to represent the individual branches anymore.
The declaration of the labels was kept, but every usage of them outside of
include/constants/expansion_branches.h
was removed from the code.
This also very likely means a lot of merge conflicts to deal with once people start to pull the new Master branch for projects that made custom changes in the same areas that the expansion branches used to modify.
And of course, this means
there is no longer a need for the majority of this tutorial either.
The PR was already merged so the jump was already made. All the Pull Requests that weren't merged yet had their target branch changed to point towards the Master branch as well.
I'll be modifying the main post later today. It'll be a glorified "setting up a GitHub repository" tutorial pretty much, but whatever.
