====== PMD ROM Hacking News of 11th november 2022 ====== //Well, should rename that to something that is not weekly, seeing the publication schedule of the last two entry. Beside, it seems easier for me focus on it if I do it on more iregular schedule. Otherwise, I have no excuse for not doing it weekly outside of not having the motivation.// //Also, this entry may contain more personal comment than usual. Sorry if you don’t like it.// //I’ll also start thinking of a good strategy for mirroring videos. I’m hesitant to use Peertube for it, or if I should instead put them directly in the archive folder. I think Peertube have an auto-mirroring functionality, and it’s already set-up to offload storage to a cheaper place, but it should be harder to mirror it in return.// //Also, certainly forgot a few thing. I’ll try to put it for next time// ===== The fourth hack-jam is finished, results avalaible ===== //and I actually don’t remember having spoken about it having started here.

It’s their log–in system, after all)// ===== Skytemple and the SkyTemple Randomizer ===== ==== SkyTemple 1.3.11 and SkyTemple Randomizer 1.3.6 ==== //By Capypara//
**SkyTemple 1.3.11** and **SkyTemple Randomizer 1.3.6** These are (hopefully) the last releases in the 1.3 branch. 1.4 of the Randomizer should be out very soon. Download: * SkyTemple: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4193-skytemple-pmd2-rom-editor/ * Randomizer: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4235-skytemple-randomizer/ These releases do not contain any functional changes or bugfixes, it exists mostly for technical reasons and as a transitional step towards the 1.4.0 version. Changes: * Updated GtkSourceView from 3 to 4 * Windows: Upgraded Python to Python 3.10 * MacOS: Built on macOS 11 (older versions may not be supported anymore), upgraded Python 3.10
//a bit later//
There has been an update to SkyTemple 1.3.11 (SkyTemple 1.3.11.post1) which fixes a packaging issue. If the update didn't work for you before, try downloading that new version.
==== Flatpak release ==== //by Capypara//
SkyTemple and the Randomizer now available as a Flatpak on Linux! This means you can now pretty easily install it on all major distributions and the Steam Deck. Some distros may require some setup, but you can follow the setup guide on Flathub to get started. https://youtu.be/OreB6VSfuvY https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.skytemple.SkyTemple https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.skytemple.Randomizer
Flatpack is a (one of the multiple) package manager and app-store for Linux. (package manager being the generic name for program that handle the installation of programs (or other stuff) on the system. Flatpack is notably known for being easy to use and run on pretty much all Linux distributions, where it has traditionally been a package manager per distribution (even if most reuse the package manager from another one) (although that second package manager is still needed to at least manage the system dependencies and their update). Also, there is a package for the Nix package manager (that I, marius851000) use... If anyone want to use it, it’s just ``skytemple`` in nixpkgs. Nix can also work on pretty much all distro, but (sadly ☹️) lack the ease of use of Flatpack. ==== SkyTemple Randomizer 1.4.0 ==== //By Capypara (with a bit of reformating to look better in here. Actually does that to most stuff I (marius851000) copy from Discord here)//
Download: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4235-skytemple-randomizer **New features:** * Sprites are now downloaded for all available starters and partners * The EventSleep, Laying and Waking animations are automatically filled with the Sleep animation for all starters and partners if no dedicated EventSleep/Laying/Waking is available. * A new algorithm for randomizing item lists was added, this new algorithm should randomize items in a much more balanced way. The old algorithm can still be used ("Items" tab, #92) * The new "Balanced" item algorithm can be configured to apply different multipliers to the weights that are generated (for each item category). * Max. Kecleon shop chances and max. hidden stair chances can now be configured just like the max. monster house chances. * A new patch "AntiSoftlock" by End is automatically applied to each ROM, it allows you to proceed in cutscenes that get stuck. **Bugfixes:** * Fixed treasure rooms being randomized and unclearable with the "Boss Room Randomization" option (#69) * Various smaller bugfixes in the code that manipulates the files in the game **Improvements:** * Yes/No can now be used as answers in the personality quiz (#86) * (A new YAML library was added that doesn't interpret yes/no/y/n as booleans) * Portraits and sprites are now downloaded from the SpriteCollab server (spriteserver.pmdcollab.org) (#88) * The randomization progress bar now shows how many portraits/sprites were already downloaded and how many are pending * The MoveShortcuts Patch was updated (thanks to End): * "MoveShortcuts has been updated to prevent the player from passing turn by holding A+B while the move list is shown, which would cause a minor graphical glitch." * The Complete Team Control Patch was updated (thanks to Cipnit): * "Players are now prevented from changing team tactics during manual. For some reason, doing so completely destroys turn order and leadership status." * Native file handlers written in Rust are now used by default to process the files in the game, this can be disabled if these implementations cause errors (#90) * They should be much faster than the old Python-based implementations * These file handlers include portraits, map graphics, dungeon graphics, dungeon data, monster data, item data, move data, compression algorithms * A lot of under the hood code quality improvements and refactoring
//later//
**SkyTemple Randomizer 1.4.0.post0 (macOS ONLY)** Fixes the Randomizer not starting on macOS 😭. Download: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4235-skytemple-randomizer/
==== SkyTemple 1.4.0 ==== //By Capypara//
**Download:** https://github.com/SkyTemple/skytemple/releases/tag/1.4.0 or https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4193-skytemple-pmd2-rom-editor/ The Linux version is pending and will be available later, check Flathub. **Important for the Windows and macOS Versions:** * Windows users need to install the newest 2022 Visual C++ redistributable since DesMuME has updated their requirements, otherwise the emulator will not work and the script editor will not function correctly: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170 * macOS 10 is no longer supported. The minimum version needed is macOS 11. **New features:** * The "Patches" section has been restructured: * There is now a subnode there for info on how to write and apply patches with C and Rust using c-of-time. * The functionality to apply ASM patches has moved to "Patches > ASM". * Applying item, move and special process effects has been moved as subnodes of "Patches > ASM". * A section on pmdsky-debug has been added (see below). * SpriteCollab Browser: * Using this new tool you can now download sprites and portraits from the SpriteCollab/SpriteBot repositories straight from within SkyTemple itself. * This also supports copying missing EventSleep/Laying/Waking animations from the Sleep animation so Pokémon don't glitch out in the overworld when they are supposed to sleep. * NotSpriteCollab and other custom asset repositories can also be browsed. * SkyTemple is now powered by pmdsky-debug, the community's collaborative effort to reverse engineer most of the game's functions and other symbols. The symbols that are shipped with SkyTemple can be browsed in the "ASM" section". * New ASM patches (in no particular order): * FixNo$GbaSaves by End: * "Fixes an issue that causes saving to fail on the No$GBA emulator." * PitfallTrapTweak by Adex: *"Makes Pitfall Traps send the leader back by one floor in ascending dungeons. If the leader activates a Pitfall Trap on 1F, they will restart 1F with a different seed." * ChangePokemonGroundAnim by an anonymous contributor: * "Changes implementation of idle animation to an editable table." * DynamicBossesEverywhere by End: * "Allows placing special fixed room entities #124-127 (Explorer Maze enemies) in any fixed room without causing the game to crash." * BoldText by Adex: * "Adds new text tags that allow for bold text in strings. Encase the desired text with [BS] and [BR]." * ChangeTextSound by Adex: * "Adds new text tags that allow for the textbox sound to be changed. [TS:X] will use the Xth sound effect ID in textboxes. [TR] will revert the sound to default." * AppraiseAll by an anonymous contributor: * "Adds an extra menu in box appraisal to appraise all boxes at once." * AntiSoftlock by End: * "Allows the player to press A+B+X+Y during cutscenes to force the game to continue past a softlock (this can happen during cutscenes when using custom sprites or the randomizer). Does not work with crashes caused due to internal errors (such as the game running out of memory)." * SkyTemple now remembers the sprite configuration for imported sprites (ID to action name mapping). This information is saved into the ROM. **Bugfixes:** * ROMs no longer get corrupted if SkyTemple crashes while in the middle of saving. * The text string groups for Trap Names and Trap Descriptions were fixed (by marius). * Some issues with loading scripts with invalid/unknown values for arguments were fixed by an anonymous contributor. * Descriptions and labels about some settings in the Fixed Room editor have been fixed by End. * Previously changing some IQ settings instead marked the "Misc. Settings" tab as modified. That has been fixed. * Fix an error message when reloading the ROM while in Fixed Room view * Fixed encoding issues under Windows when exporting/importing floors * Fixed an error message when right clicking the debugger file list while filtering **Improvements:** * SkyTemple now shows better error messages when values are entered info fields that are out of the valid range for the given value. The error also usually prints what the supported value ranges are. * The quantity of items in fixed rooms can now be edited (thanks to End). * ASM patches were updated (in no particular order): * ExtractObjectTable was updated by marius to fix data corruption on the EU ROM. * MoveShortcuts by End: * "MoveShortcuts has been updated to prevent the player from passing turn by holding A+B while the move list is shown, which would cause a minor graphical glitch." * CompleteTeamControl patch by Cipnit: * "Players are now prevented from changing team tactics during manual mode. For some reason, doing so completely destroys turn order and leadership status." * Native file handlers written in Rust are now used by default to process the files in the game, this can be disabled if these implementations cause errors (in the settings) * They should be much faster than the old Python-based implementations * These file handlers include portraits, map graphics, dungeon graphics, dungeon data, monster data, item data, move data, compression algorithms. * Strings in script files are now using the same physical ID if they are identical (thanks to techticks). * A lot of under the hood code quality improvements and refactoring. * What mechanism is used for asynchronous operations (such as loading files) can now be configured in the settings. The defaults have been tweaked to be more stable and less prone to crash. * Localizations have been updated. Thanks to all our translators! * Client Side Decorations can be disabled in the settings now. * Python 3.11 compatibility * Added backwards-compatibility checks to the ASM Patches sections and in general better error handling DISCUSS: https://discord.com/channels/710190644152369162/1038597173790646363

Have you ever thought, "man I wish I could shoot up aliens in PMD but with neither the Pokemon nor the Mystery Dungeons?" No? Too bad you're getting it anyways. Note that some gameplay aspects are still in development, so if it feels unpolished, that's probably why. Use the D-Pad to move and A to shoot. This patch uses the US rom as a base.

JUST ANNOUNCED AT THE END OF THE LATEST PMD RETOLD EPISODE! Introducing PMD Retold: Darkrai's Revenge! A brand-new, full-length, fully-playable hack (yes! you heard right!) that is a complete rewrite of the Darkrai arc from Explorers' post-game and bring the Team Fire Spark saga to an end. It's not just about nightmares and space distortions anymore, Darkrai is plotting to paralyse the planet any way he can! Just what is this plan and are Team Fire Spark strong enough to stop it? Expected release date is Q4 2023. Stay tuned for more updates as development progresses. Thank you all so much for your support for PMD Retold over these past 2 years. The YouTube uploads may have ended for now, but there's still far more story to come. {{:files:darkrai_s_revenge_teaser.png}}
===== Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Deceit ===== //By Parker_Ryland in the SkyTemple's Discord guild, some time ago//
After a lotta work and a lotta waiting on lines I am finally proud to present the premiere Of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Deceit Chapter 1: Another Story Premieres in 2 days at 12 pm EST, 10 am MT, 9 am PT, and 11 am CT https://youtu.be/9p-NhAiGYzI
//The 27 november//
I am blown away by this. My 2nd most popular video has 279 viewers (as of this message) and it took 4 months for it to get there, my 3rd and 4th took 9 months. Seeing this many people watching this has literally made me cry a bit. I wanna thank all of you for the support and for watching the video. Chapter 2 is nearly done, it just needs a little bit more polish and all my computer setbacks haven't been helping me. But rest assured I'm sure you'll all love to see the guildmembers and other characters, and I'm sure you'll love to see the story unfold as it continues. I have so much planned not just for this series but this whole world of background characters and ideas that its not even funny. So once again, thank you all. Expect Chapter 2 next week. I love this community.
//The 29 november//
Due to missing 3 whole pieces of dialouge in the video Im gonna take it down and fix those issues, the video will be back up soon for everyone to see but it will not be another premiere. I apologize, I can't believe I missed that stuff.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fS7kghACx_A Chapter 2 is now up again with the missing dialouge. again I apologize. Enjoy the video everyone!

===== PMD: Lonely Roads ===== //By Okami in the SkyTemple's Discord guild//
So I didn't know that hacks are posted here as well so... here ya go. If you wanna see what an absolutely insane dude can make in SkyTemple in 2 weeks with absolutely no prior experience, then this is for you. Special thanks to ''@glec burrito (high)'' for helping with play testing! US base.

Lonely Roads finally has it's first official installment! Last time I only made the demo public, but now I feel it has gotten to a length where it is finally worthy of a legitimate non-demo release! Huge thanks to all of those who helped play test it and assisted in the troubleshooting for this! There is more to come. :Sablehype: https://hacks.skytemple.org/h/lonely_roads

Does this Abra remind you of anyone? Obviously it does if you have played the masterpiece "Explorers of the Unknown"! He makes a little cameo in Explorers of Alpha to provide useful intel about some dungeons, see an example here with Chasm Cave 👀 And will this be with every single dungeon in the game? Eeeeeeeh... sort of, because Abra only tells you about main game dungeons, about the adventure everyone knows, endgame quests are linked with other NPCs who will tell you themselves all you need to know about quest dungeons! Getting close to 2.0's release, I'll do an announcement every two or three days here 👀 {{:files:eota_abra_1.png|}} {{:files:eota_abra_2.png|}}
There's times like that where you implement an automatic save file update, and a failsafe is a good idea {{:files:eota_update.png}}
New story events, will lose my sanity, 12 days before 2.0 {{:files:eota_update_10_10_2022.png}}
//The release!!!//
This release is 5000+ hours of development in 22 months, from planning to coding, also fighting against depression and anxiety sometimes I'm finally proud to announce the Hack of the Year version of Alpha 2.0 is out! https://drive.google.com/file/d/12_K9Tf9H_mgFkBLT3nZ5JYN5_lOqLuHO/view?usp=drivesdk Why Hack of the Year version? This version is still missing 4 components: * Chatot's endgame quest * Croagunk and Porygon2 password menus * Tower of Perfection And most importantly (and because I forgot to update it) * credits to Minarchu, NikolaP and Emboarger for writing the new story arc! What's next? 2.1 and 3.0 are planned, for even bigger features to come into the game, and for more gameplay designs! I'm glad it's finally out! pporg post update and Discord server are underworks, expect them in the next 7 days!

Game crashing at Team Name selection, urgent fix: Patch another rom with this version, save before Chap.2 Do the events until you can save your game again Switch back to the official release afterwards In case there's a crash in the game, just try using this patch to skip the current release crash NOT NEEDED IF YOU DON'T CRASH, THIS VERSION IS FAR LESS STABLE

Explorers of Pokérus 0.0.1 Teaser Demo - HoTY submission My main and definitive hack couldn't miss the opportunity to appear on this big event. Even if is a teaser, there will be a Hyping Trailer. This demo is mainly for HoTY submission, I don't recommend playing it if you want to discover the full game in one go. Patch for EU only -> English and Spanish supported "Discover the events that will endanger the stability of the world. A virus fallen from space, what can it unleash?

Hello everyone! Sorry for the wait, here is the 2.2 of Explorers of Hell & Heaven! The update is not huge and I apologize for that. The cancellation of the weekly challenges delayed the work a lot, but I think it's better to take more time and have something clean. I hope you like the update, we are slowly coming to the end of the development of the game, the next versions will probably not be bigger, my to-do-list is slowly getting empty. I will make an announcement soon, but I plan to work on a "wiki" about the game, referencing all the information. It will take some time so I don't have an announcement date. I hope you'll enjoy this content, thanks for continuing to play and have fun on the game! @everyone :MiiBrasleve:

howdy there, it's been a while real life stuff has kept me very busy, but I wanted to get another release of Explorers of the Azure Sky out before November 1st unfortunately not much to report with this one, story progress has reached chapter 16 also featuring many, many changes, bugfixes, spelling/grammar mistakes thanks to the feedback from @glec burrito (dead (again)) patch with xDelta as per usual, non-Xenophobia rom (you could probably use one and it'd be fine but) and thanks for checking out my hack, please feel free to give feedback/suggestions on how I could improve it

In honor of HOTY, here is a new release of Chip 2 with plenty of features that have been in the works for months now! They've actually been around for much longer but I haven't touched the ROM in a good while These include: * Skippable cutscenes! * QOL improvements! * Extra content in the main menu!! * And a small easter egg in a certain previously useless location! 👀 Enjoy your time with Chip 2 and all its new additions!! Also, the dungeons are supposed to be unchanged. If they aren't please lmk
//later//
You can actually get a Key in Rocky Ruins now lmao Since IIRC the previous version straight up doesn't allow for the game to be completed, I highly recommend playing this version instead

===== New hack (WIP): Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Infinite Labyrinth ===== //This hack by Smingle was updated on the hack repository with no announcement.// //From https://hacks.skytemple.org/h/infinite_labyrinth //
The first chapter of a full, expansive new storyline, in which our classic amnesiac protagonist must navigate and uncover the secrets of both the dangerous world they wake up in, as well as their own shrouded past. Patch to a USA file of PMD EoS.
[[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/337220509257433088/1032016994620424305/PMD_Infinite_Labyrinth_Patch.zip|download]] ([[https://hacknews.pmdcollab.org/hacks/infinite-labyrinth/PMD_Infinite_Labyrinth_Patch.zip|mirror]]) ===== New hack (WIP): Pokéwanderer ===== //By “The kitchen sunk” at https://hacks.skytemple.org/h/Pok%C3%A9wanderer //
Pokéwanderer is a "gameplay overhaul" hack based on various entries in Chunsoft's "Mystery Dungeon" franchise. The primary inspirations behind the changes are Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon(2015) and Mystery Dungeon 2: Shiren the Wanderer(1995), though it also borrows ideas from various other titles. While the hack does get much more difficult than the base game, it's not exactly a "kaizo" hack either, just a different design approach. Primary features: * Major starter re-balancing * Recruitment is disabled except for certain exceptions * Every enemy plays a distinct role in Dungeons, and every encounter holds a lot more weight * Regen speed is much higher, and enemy spawnrates are slightly slower. * Items are much more important, playing an equal role to moves. The proper use and management of items is crucial to your survival. * All items and money are lost on death, and most Dungeons quick save at the start as an anti-cheat measure.

//Oh! An RTDX hacks. That’s certainly really interesting and quite uncommon (but still more common than PSMD hacks. And let’s not talk about GTI hacks...)// ===== VWHEEEEEEL ===== //by Jake the Victini//

===== Explorers of Pain remaster announcement (and looking for interested contributor) ===== //By Solargress//
Hey yall, the remaster of Explorers Of Pain is coming along pretty great so far, and I hope to make it into a full length hack (actual gameplay time hasn't been decided). My goal rn is for it to be fairly long and less of a shitpost, basically more of an actual story. Explorers of pain has: A custom OST (PMD style) Dark/horror themes (not to be taken 100% seriously since its more of a horror-comedy parody) The new demo I plan to go up to chapter 3, since i'm remaking the old version from scratch, meaning completely different cutscenes and completely different introduction, but the premise is still the same. Rn I'm looking for some people who might be interested in helping with custom art and possibly a co-writer to come up with ideas for the future. I'm already collaborating with Cait Sith, but since theres going to be a LOT of custom art here, more help would be greatly apperciated. If you're interested in being a part of this hacks development, DM me!
===== Team Sandwich also looking for help ===== //should make a dedicated section for those looking for help...// //By Gelius//
Sooooo hey. Currently Team Sandwich is looking for help. It is a very specific task related to Overworld design. If you can help out, it'd be ideal. We actually need imense help to speed up a project we got on hands. Specifically the one originally meant for Hack Jam 3. If you'd like to help, hit me up.
===== Scene text exporter ===== //By Trio-//
This CLI can be used to retrieve all the texts within your scenes (or whatever is in the base game). Copy everything in your script into a txt file, run the program with it, and you should see all the dialogue between your characters! Source Code: https://github.com/DoubleTrio/exptext (WIP)
[[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/729951586058633219/1005728808709673030/exptext.zip|download]] //Yay! Rust code!// ===== Animation finder spreadsheet ===== //By sec//
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1C6x6wrUgZgMO40Ob-SFxoc7eHxwjsL7IWoddzztokNA/edit?usp=sharing This doc was primarily made to assist people with being able to skip checking the xml file and getting the proper SetAnimation IDs needed, along with any extra data such as if the animation ID loops or not (red-highlighted animations do not have an ID and cannot be used), and __**MAKE SURE YOU USE A COPY**__ Credit to the original spreadsheet which was manually imported! The sheet may gradually get more updates over time. -> Update: Durations have now been added, and the system now takes into account CopyOf arguments (the loading times may slow down a bit but the information is correct this time i swear)
===== Visual Studio code extension for ExplorerScript ===== //By sec, too//
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=25Pi25.skytemple This is a markup language extension for Visual Studio Code that lets you edit .ssb files with SkyTemple syntax highlighting and custom snippets. Its purpose is to integrate SkyTemple scripts with an environment well-known for its versatility, which is why this was mostly built for those who might be experienced at scripting or want to improve their workflow outside constant debugging. Access snippets with prefixes or functions (variables use $VARIABLE and $VARIABLE_ARRAY) to get premade template for specific functions. If you have any problems or questions about it, DM me.
//Here is a mirror. Did I mention that I found the TOS of the VSCode repository outragious. Actually, same for the TOS of Discord. But we’re not here to talk about that// {{ :files:25pi25.skytemple-1.2.0.vsix }} ===== Video showing all SFX ===== //still by sec//
sec back at it again with the white vans i compiled a list of sound effects (most of them, let me know where i can find more batches) into a youtube video (with descriptions ripped from the sound effect google sheet) with their in-game IDs for you to use! they're not categorized, but they may be in a future version of this video! https://youtu.be/mXy0FJiNkR0
===== Some helper for SkyTemple ===== //It’s probably useless to tell you this is done by sec//
WITH THE WHITE VANS I also made an application that provides you a few tools to use while you're on SkyTemple! These are mostly for small side-tasks. * The Sprite Scaler isn't as necessary, but it auto-scales sprites and removes duplicate pixels allowing the sprite to be directly imported into SkyTemple. * The SetAnimation Finder is a ported version of the google sheet which is posted above, but the CopyOf does not display any animations. This will be fixed in a later update. * The Asset Downloader is probably the most useful and gives you a link to download a pokemon's sprites into unzipped folders to import directly into SkyTemple. The code is unsigned so it will show a warning on download. Please report any bugs you find, thanks! https://github.com/25Pi25/SkyTemple-Helper
//later//
Just dropped a new update for SkyTemple Helper, which adds x0.5 scaling! This may not work for a few edge cases, but the sprites that have been tested are working. You can download the new release here: https://github.com/25Pi25/SkyTemple-Helper/releases/tag/v1.2.1
===== New Community Assets ===== ==== Pokémon ==== Animated sprites in this section are animated PNG files. If animated sprites appear to be static images, make sure that your browser supports PNG animation. (Most modern browsers should display them just fine, though.) ~~pokechange:82-92-changes-spritecollab~~ === Recolored Darkrai === //By Chritchy//
I decided to recolor Darkrai's portraits and sprites with colors picked from its B2W2 sprites after remembering that it's a dark indigo for some reason in the Mystery Dungeon games, so here they are for anyone who might want to use them. I'll send one of the two portraits and a sprite sheet in a minute for something of a preview. {{https://hacknews.pmdcollab.org/archive/portraits/Chritchy/B2W2_colors_Darkrai.7z}} {{https://hacknews.pmdcollab.org/archive/portraits/Chritchy/B2W2_colors_Darkrai_portrait.png}} {{https://hacknews.pmdcollab.org/archive/portraits/Chritchy/B2W2_colors_Darkrai_sprite.png}}
==== Other Graphics ==== I have some doubt if it’s a good idea to share portraits that hasn’t be shared with at least the implied purpose of them being re-used... If someone have a comment about this, I’ll be happy to hear it. (thought I have no doubt putting them in the archive is a good idea. And they may other purpose than being re-used, like, as examples/inspirations. Or just nice portraits to look at, althought in this case, extending a bit what is accepted would not a bad idea. There are many really cool art shared that I don’t put here). === NotSpriteCollab === ~~pokechange:82-92-changes-notspritecollab~~ === Digimons by NeroIntruder === //As usual, by NeroIntroder.

//Capypara is the main developper of SkyTemple, the randomizer, and also does a bunch of other stuff, without which the rom-hacking of EoS wouldn’t be as easy. He also helped form a community, both by simply making SkyTemple, but also, managing it’s related server, where most rom–hacking discussion happen. And without which I would likely not enought content to justify a newsletter or an hack archive. On another side, maybe PSMD hacking would be more popular? But that a very interrogative question. I actually doubt of it myself, thought I would certainly would have spent more time on hacking PSMD myself if there weren’t this cool community.// ==== Message of techticks to the rom-makers ====
I see that we still have a lot of patching problems in 2022 for some reason. Here's something to you can use to make it easier for users if you want to. You need a direct download link to an .xdelta file. Let's use the B.L.O.R.G. Polished Edition one that's posted in hack-announcements because it's not zipped or anything. We can create a link for the web-based patcher from it: https://skytemple.github.io/patcher/?region=us&url=https%3A%2F%2Fproxy.cors.sh%2Fhttps%3A%2F%2Fcdn.discordapp.com%2Fattachments%2F769498453126283274%2F1037182123326590996%2FPMD_BLORG_HOTY-Edition-2022.xdelta As you can see, users can simply pick a ROM and the tool takes care of downloading and applying the patch. B.L.O.R.G. Polished Edition is based on the US version, but users don't have to care about that. If they pick an EU, EU Bahamut, US Xenophobia, Japanese or Virtual Console release, the tool converts those to a clean US ROM first. So how does this work? 1. Copy the link to an .xdelta file uploaded somewhere (Discord works well, just right-click and select "Copy link"). For the patch we've used in the example, the URL is https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/769498453126283274/1037182123326590996/PMD_BLORG_HOTY-Edition-2022.xdelta 2. Use https://www.urlencoder.org/ to URL-encode the download link. Click Encode and copy the result. In this case, the output is: https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.discordapp.com%2Fattachments%2F769498453126283274%2F1037182123326590996%2FPMD_BLORG_HOTY-Edition-2022.xdelta 3. Paste what you've copied to the end of the following URL https://skytemple.github.io/patcher/?region=us&url=https%3A%2F%2Fproxy.cors.sh%2F 4. The URL you have now should now look like the one above 5. If the patch was generated from an EU rom, change "region=us" to "region=eu". Note that this patching method doesn't support secondary compression, so you have to turn that off when you create the patch. This leads to a neglible size increase in most cases. This site has existed for over a year, but I was hoping that it would be integrated in hacks.skytemple.org. That never happened, so you can use it with this method for now.
That’s actually a really good idea. I’ll try to somehow add this to my hack archive (I already had some experiment for a desktop app for this, but it never got far). If anyone is interested, here is what I got from my notes: * (specific to this implementation): need to convert hack with secondary compression to hacks with no secondary compression * Needs to looks at file inside a folder. * Take into account the fact it can have multiple xdelta in the archive * Providing a way for the user to read the txt/md/whatever files (the readme, thought there may be multiple of those) is important, as it may contain important information. * (already implemented by the online interface) detect the type of the user-provided ROM * need to detect the type of the input rom expected by the hack. I think xdelta provide a checksum of the input. (actually, my archive have metadata on the base rom, althought they may be incorrect for some). ==== BlackRaveBow makes video ==== Just a personnal reminder that [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBcyjeMk7jgn1RZbQ26p2mQ|BlackRaveBow]] have a really good pmd-themed RPG-maker animated video serie going on too.
