Survey: Which new tools would you like to have in rom hacking?

[Indigo]

Personally, I would love a tool that makes scripting more user friendly (because frankly I suck at scripting >.<)

XSE? =D
Like seriously, scripting is just putting a few commands after another.
Once you learn commands, it will be easy =)

Two suggestions:

• a painless region map editor (just insert an indexed image: it makes tilemap, inserts it, and repoints everything for you--and make sure it has RSE support!!)
• (more complicated) a start sequence editor that combines all the useful features of Advance IntroEd (set start map, contents of PC, start money, pokemon that birch uses in intro, and removing truck animation from RSE roms), Start Map Chooser Advance (set start map, truck position, etc.), Advance Starter (starter pokemon, rival's starters, levels and items of each). Also (not really in any existing tools that I know of) it would be nice to be able to remove the professor intro entirely (in RSE at least), instead allowing to call the player naming sequence from a script (the rest of the intro is useless anyways :silly:)

And yes, cross-platform is usually best :happy2:

Well..
-Modify easily the sprites in the NDS Roms (At least D/P/Pt/HG/SS)
-A pokedex app for the PC, so we can easily use their data at the moment of adding new pokemons from the 4th, 5th and 6th Gen to our 3rd Gen hack.

A higher level programming language for the scripts, but that'll probably be something freaking hard to do and I don't know if the effort will be worth it.

Please make a tool for editing the overworld map and move effects asm.
