You'll be able to get all the starters from every region (up to Sinnoh, of course) in a way similar to that in Pokémon Yellow Version.

Today, I've found (with the help of Zark) where the battle music and animations are stored. I don't mean the graphics or sequences, but the data that tells which one to use with each Pokémon or trainer. Video coming soon!

Wow. I was actually trying to figure that out, but you did before me. Can't wait for the video!

Well, in fact it's not figured out completely yet. I've found a short list with 31 entries of 4 bytes each: 2 bytes for music and 2 bytes for animation.

However, I still don't know how the game assigns each pokémon or trainer to that list. If you have been doing research on it already, maybe you have found something interesting :)

What kind of video are you going to make?

I'm going to upload a video showing standard wild pokémon battles with their music/animation changed to the champion, trainer, gym leaders... ones. I'm already recording the footage, which will be up this week.

Also, I have been able to edit the textures assigned to a map and to each polygon. Here's the result:

However, I still have to discover how to add NEW tilesets without overwriting the existing ones (I replaced Tileset_06 to do the Eterna Forest update). That way we would be able to use a different tileset for each map.

EDIT: The video is up.

Wow. Cynthia turned into a Budew, and Giratina + Dialga turned into Starlys. BTW, I like the new E4 theme and the Brendan's vs sprite. The trees really fit the map.

Make sure you are trying to patch a CLEAN and USA version of Diamond. There are lots of bad dumps on the Internet :/

If you can't patch it, please send me a PM and I'll help you.

Maybe you should make a beta 1.5, the exact same rom as the one for beta 1 but then with the 3d effect of beta 2.

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

Please be patient. I know the screenshots look awesome and you want to play it as soon as possible, but I'm working hard to make the hack EVEN BETTER.

The next beta is coming in less than two months. I'm sure you can wait a bit more ;)

Less than 2 months? That would be a great present for the Holidays! :)
That's great how you can assign the music for each trainer, because my hack will have all of the evil teams. That would be hard to do without it.

 

[Team Plasma Sage]

If you manage to make the new beta in two months it would be amazing.
And you've got some really nice screens :)

Experimenting with the map engine:

Who said you couldn't edit 3D maps or add models to a map without replacing old ones? :D

 

[pokemonpk12]

can you tell us what tools you use

 

[Tan and Teal]

I-is that the Black/White tiles, trees, and grass? T-that's amazing! Are you going to use this in the hack?

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

@pokemonpk12 I use Tile Molester, Crystal Tile, PPRE and, most of the time, an hex editor. Hex is my main power when it comes to doing the most spectacular things.

@Tan and Teal I probably won't use them, because it would mean editing EVERY MAP. 'Cause what you see in the screenshot is a map from Black and White ported to Diamond (Route 2).
