FireRed hack: Pokémon Throwback v211001: Kanto, Your Way

@RichterSnipes, hey, sorry to bother you.
Love the mod! (looking for something similar for the other games, but that's beside the point 😁)
I've come across a small issue, though.
I downloaded the latest version to patch it onto FireRed v1.0. Then I added the patches for:

1) Decapitalization -> Base Game (BPRE v1.0).ips
2) Catch 'em All v[yymmdd].ips
3) Extras v[yymmdd].ips
4) Decapitalization -> Catch 'em All v[yymmdd].ips
5) Decapitalization -> Extras v[yymmdd].ips
6) Wardrobe v[yymmdd].ips

But now, when I enter the game and create my character, Red's sprite is all messy from the waste down, like this, basically:
[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Throwback v211001: Kanto, Your Way
Leaf's sprite works as intended (black dress).
Have I messed up the patching order? Was I supposed to install Wardrobe first?

Hi, does anyone have the link to the discord?

I'm having trouble patching the game. I've tried just patching the whole throwback.ips patch to my firered rom, and loaded the game. All I get is a white screen with distorted noises..
 
Is there a github repo available to explore? I'd like to try swapping the higher quality cry samples to those semi-naturalistic ones from the Stadium games.
 
Which patch did you apply to get the icons? That'll determine if you've gotten all you need.

If you only apply Doesnt's P/S/S split patch, the system will be implemented. However, since it doesn't change the unused bytes of any of the existing moves, every move will be treated as a Physical move and thus be calculated by the Physical Attack stat. The second patch I linked you to will change all moves to their proper distinction (Physical, Special, or Status) and have their power calculated as they should in later games.
Can you PLEASE just link the 3 definitive links to the PSS patch combination we need:
1. PSS enable
2. PSS move assignment
3. PSS icons

How are we supposed to know what works with what? Which patches conflict with each other and break your mod?
 
Is there any chance of you backporting auto-run from Emerald Revelation into this? Still my favorite FireRed Vanilla+ hack, just missing one QoL feature that I particularly appreciate imo. Would save a lot of button wear/finger fatigue

If you add the "Extras" and "Wardrobe (Regular or Karmaggedon)" patches individually you must also add the "Extras+Wardrobe" patch found in "Individual Patches -> Compatibility" afterwards, that should fix the issue

Here you go, enabled, moves assigned and icons (Thanks to Teh Blazer for making it and Aijen for having posted it in this thread on page 46)

And to answer your question, the fact that the included patch only enables the PSS is explained in the post where the patch is downloaded. The reason for it is there were patches in the past that would not be compatible with Throwback because they would conflict with the changes in the code for the game, which would cause things to not work as intended.

However the patch attached to this reply does not conflict with the game in anyway, I can confirm as I've used it for a regular playthrough, a Throwback playthrough and a Throwback one with the "Custom Learnset Changes" patch applied.

Have fun!

Someone please help. I skipped over visiting Sevii Islands for the first time before beating the elite four and now I think I missed getting my rival to gift me his starter Pokémon. Any help would be appreciated.
