FireRed hack: Pokémon Platinum Red & Blue Versions - Alpha 1.3 Released!

Awesome, I spent all afternoon making a script decompiler to dump everything in the game

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Platinum Red & Blue Versions - Alpha 1.3 Released!

Complete automation is getting closer :D
 
And before I rest, I started to do map events (the scripts are also dumped from the people currently)

Once this part is complete, I can actually start advancing in the games' developments!
 
So now I think maps are done. Here's what Petalburg City looks like in regular Pokémon Emerald:

See? It's all nerdy stuff and things :)

wow...this looks astonishing...I will give it a try!
Thank you for hacking and good luck with this great project (:
 
Gogo, come on, what's going on here?

PRPB used to be a very hyped game, with a large following, now I feel like it's lost a lot of it's charm. I hope to soon see an update that will reignite these past feelings, as the screenshots in the first post and such no longer reflect the game fairly since it's move to an EM base. Feb 26th 2014, yet your hack in still not even qualified to be nominated in HOTY, it's quite unfortunate after almost 2 years.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around why you're wasting your time ripping stuff since you're not saving any work here, at all.
Also half of these "updates" are you just posting non-updates, for example :
https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/8996221/
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/320333/page-116
Those don't reflect progress in your own game at all.

Did you know that saving your map in advance map, the map file also contains all these things you've "automated"? You'd just need to rip the scripts at those pointers, and that's all. It's all 1 : 1, no need for automation of this, which doesn't save time.

Well, I don't mean to be too critical, rather, my goal is to motivate you to turn this ship in the right direction. Progress since the Alpha almost a year ago has been 0%, at least in this thread you haven't posted any progression updates. You guys still aren't done Jubilife, huh? Get your stuff together, stop wasting time automating things that don't need to be automated, and lets see some real progression!
Maybe it's not my place to tell you this stuff, but that's how I feel about PRPB right now. It's a hack that looked like it had a lot of potential thanks to the people working on it, and now progression seems to be at a standstill outside automation attempts at stuff which don't help. Modifying hex tables and repointing/writing stuff are much easier done in tools.

Yea?
 
Good news everyone, I've successfully finished converting all maps and scripts in Pokémon Emerald into ASM files. Now I can use source code to finish PRPB!

Wish us luck!

EDIT: I also updated the file on my site if anyone wants to look at it (just note that some scripts are edited so it's not an Emerald dump, per sé

So like, scripts work
Maps work
Ows work (they're automated too now)
Text is correct (notice the quotation marks go in the correct directions :0)
Everything is going awesome right now :D

Spoiler:
 
Forgive me because I hav e next to no knowlege of hacking outside of tools, but is this automation thing like a disassembly? Similar to Pokered and PokeCrystal?

It's not a disassembly. I'm just inserting data that the games use into dynamic space
I made programs in the C# language (which is super easy lol) to rip data into .s files. Then I edit them to have my stuff

Here're some examples:
NPC Table: https://hastebin.com/enobeqiroz.mel
Primary Cry Table: https://hastebin.com/givifutejo.mel
Icons: https://hastebin.com/equyikunun.mel
Map Headers (That actually point to event data and scripts that are all ripped too): https://hastebin.com/wewijipeka.avrasm

There are more like the Song Table and Pokédex Table etc. But that's all I'm doing, I'm not ripping all routines and everything from the game.
 
This looks great. It's exactly what I tried to do with DiamondDust but didn't have the hacking skills to pull off. I just started playing the alpha and am liking it so far.
 
And this is what PRPB looks like (shhhhh don't tell anyone :P)
