Wait, so am I "Reporter" or "Hack Reviewer"? :|

I could be both, if you want. :D

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

I think you're both. I think I'm both Map Reviewer and Hack Reviewer. :\

So Thrace did I get the job?
Sorry too be pushy

 

[Darthatron]

If nobody minds, I think I'd be a good full time editor for the RHN. Of course if anyone else wants to, post.

 

[Thrace]

I've edited the list of members so it has all current RHN members. Obviously the person who takes over will have to create a new thread for RHN and the RHN team.

Can I be co-editor with you Darthatron?
Because your older so you would have more school work.
When your backed up then I can take over.
And plus we live in the same time zone which makes it easier

Sounds like a good idea to me. :)

Do you have a Photoshop work for me?

My Photoshop skills aren't much, but I do make the HotW awards...
If you want any proof?

 

[Vrai]

I'd love to help edit as well, if it isn't too much. ;D

You'd figure that now we wouldn't have any grammar errors whatsoever. :D

If people would be willing to send their articles to me, I'd gladly grammar/spelling check them! I'm really good at using punctuation that most people don't even know the purpose for; the semi-colon is one of them. Of course, there's also the colon. It's uses include: making lists, using a subtitle (Pokemon: The Lost Chronicles), and starting a logical sequence (Of course, the answer was obvious: Abigail never really met Alexander.), among other things. I could go into much greater detail, (use of comma) but I'll save you the grammar lesson.

And what's (contraction: what + is) this about a new editor? I'd (I + would) cast a vote for Darthatron, since he's (he + is) basically synonymous with hacking. As long as I get to do my grammar thing, I'll (I + will) be happy! Of course, I'd like to still write articles every once in a while.

Hahahaha. =]

Darthatron and I are both editors, because:

• We both live in the same time zone.
• He's older so naturally that means more school work

And thats basically it
I really shouldn't have used a list, oh well ;)-*

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

Huh. I'm in your timezone too (I think).

Can I help edit-y thing? =D I'm grammar-nazi-ish. :\ If there's something wrong, I'll fix it. =D

Yeah, Sydney's in Melbourne's time zone right?
Well I'm posting this at 6:20 PM here if it's that time in Sydney than you are in my time zone.

BTW either Darthatron or I have too make a new Team Thread

And we need idea's for the first (23rd) Issue.

Beginners Corner

In Today's Beginners corner, we look at how to use variables in useful ways!
Did you know, that a variable can be used as a flag?
Instead of using a bunch of flags to define an event, why not just use one variable?

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
compare 0x5000 0x4
if b_true goto @script1
compare 0x5000 0x3
if b_true goto @script2
compare 0x5000 0x2
if b_true goto @script3
compare 0x5000 0x1
if b_true goto @script4
.....
end

You see, that is much more efficient than using a whole bunch of flags to do what you want.
It saves you flags, and all you have to use it, is the variable commands.
[assistance=Variables]

Spoiler:

setvar - sets a variable to a chosen number
addvar - adds a number to a variable
subvar - subtracts a number from a variable
copyvar - copy a variable onto another, like a computers copy-paste
copyvarifnotzero - copies a variable to another one, but only if the copied variable does not equal zero.

[/assistance]
Keep in mind, that when you are using variables for flags, variables will not make Overworlds dissapear, like flags do, AND when a variable reashes a value of 0xFFFF, if you add to it, it will revert back to 0x0. Same goes for if your variable is 0x0, if you subtract 1 from it, it will revert to 0xFFFF!

That is all for now, check back next week for something new!

Hacking Experience:I am the lead scripter of Pokemon Colosseum: Advance, and I have enough knowledge of a ROM to decipher the daycare script, that and I have been working on a hack in semi-secret, and am planning on releasing a beta some time this February... if not, then March.

It seems that people are happy with Darthatron being in charge of things. Any other discussion prior to making the new thread can be done via PM/VM/IM.
