Hey Newbies, Johto_legend here! so when i started i was pretty clueless about everything, all i knew is that i wanted my own pokemon game. So ive decided to be nice and tell you guys some of the best tutorials that will definitely help you when u start a hack.
Mapping is probably one of the 2 biggest parts of a hack, so getting a good tutorial can completely change your hack.Mapping involves editing the maps you see in-game.
Here is the link to the application for mapping - Advance Map
Next comes spriting. this maybe be the easy or hard, depending on your view of it. Spriting invloves making OWs(the player image/sprite), trainers(the sprites u see when u enter a battle) and Pokemon.
Now we'll cover scripting as its more important and necessary. Scripting, to me, is very challenging and take a while to get the hang out it. scripting can pretty much change everything in the game. Its main object is to create events and edit what people say when you talk to them.
Tile inserting lets you change the style or look of your trees,mountains,houses, and etc. Just check it out to see what I mean.
So these are the main things that are needed for a hack and some of the best tutorials for some help. Hope this helps all future hackers. Be sure to check out the tutorial section for yourself because there are MANY things i didnt cover that will really help you along your way. Thanks guys.
