PMD ROM Hacking News of the tenth of april 2022

Release of SkyTemple 1.3.8

By CapyPara in the SkyTemple Discord server

Download: https://projectpokemon.org/home/files/file/4193-skytemple-pmd2-rom-edtior/

New Features:

  • New patch by @End: DynamicBossesEverywhere - Allows placing special fixed room entities #124-127 (Explorer Maze enemies) in any fixed room without causing the game to crash.
  • New patch by an anonoymous contributor: ExtractObjectTable - Extracts the object table to a separate file in the ROM:
    • It is now possible (after applying this patch) to edit objects under “Lists”
    • It is now possible to add new actors and objects.

Improvements:

  • Better MacOS compatibility (including experimental support for Monterey; thanks to @techticks)
  • DeSmuME has been updated and should perform better on Linux and MacOS
  • For unsupported ROMs a proper error is now shown

Bugfixes:

  • The move growth and stats display patch were fixed (thanks to @End)
  • Importing and exporting Pokémon with the “ChangePokemonGroundAnim” patch works again (skytemple/skytemple-files#215).
  • Fixed scripts with an aliased routine as their last routine not being able to be opened (SkyTemple/skytemple-ssb-debugger#73).
  • Fixed the settings for disabling error reporting (#399)
  • Fixed Link Boxes not being added correctly to item lists (SkyTemple/skytemple-files#186)

Misc:

  • The errors reported to Sentry have been improved

NOTE: Localizations have not been updated for new texts. The next localization update will be applied for version 1.4.0.

Update on Explorers of Alpha

By Mond

PMD Four

By yakkomon in the SkyTemple Discord server

I'm sure you realised by now that my last post was an April Fools Day joke then went on for too long because I forgot to delete it when I went to sleep. But rest assured progress on Four is coming along… very slowly. But here's proof that it exists!

April fool

By Capypara

Hello everyone! Starting today I will stop developing SkyTemple and instead follow my true passion:
Being a clown.

By techticks (DreamNexus)

[April Fools 2022]

DreamNexus 1.0.0 has been released!
With this release, DreamNexus is out of alpha and skips the beta phase too! Since this update includes literally anything you could ever ask for, upgrading is recommended for all users.

New features

  • Allows editing every single file format in Rescue Team DX in the UI
  • A patch that adds fully explorable friend areas to Rescue Team DX (thx 2 twitter user pmd shit post for creative input)
  • Adds full support for PSMD, GTI, Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, Red and Blue Rescue Team and the upcoming Explorers DX. Sorry SkyTemple, but you won't be needed anymore.
  • Adds support for Pokémon Mystery Dungeon VR, a game that doesn't even exist. Your spirit can now finally escape its pitiful existence inside the constraining vessel known as the human body.
  • P̸l̴e̸a̷s̶e̴ ̴h̷e̷l̴p̴ ̵m̴e̶,̷ ̵m̸y̴ ̴s̷o̵u̴l̷ ̵i̴s̴ ̶g̴e̶t̵t̶i̸n̴g̴ ̵c̵o̸n̷s̷u̴m̵e̷d̶ ̷b̷y̸ ̵t̸h̶e̸ ̵v̷o̷i̴d̴.̷
  • Ř̵̥e̸̹͝j̵̙̎ȅ̴̱c̷̮̄t̴̥͂ ̴̨̆ẖ̷̐ú̵͕m̷̪̿ạ̸͗n̷̝̂ǐ̷͉t̴̻͊ý̸̯,̶̨͝ ̷̦̇b̷̝͊e̴̩̿c̸͍͑o̵̞͐m̸̳͝e̵̳͠ ̵͈͠C̷̭̑ẖ̵͗i̸͂ͅm̸̞͂c̸͕̃ḫ̵̿å̶͍r
  • Oh, and support for the Adventure Squad games has been added too. Sorry, almost forgot about those.

Bug fixes

  • Fixes a minor regression that would cause consoles running mods made with DreamNexus to spontaneously implode.
  • Fixes a rare crash when running DreamNexus on a Playstation 5 with Raspbian OS during a full moon.

Later

Hey everyone, sadly I have to announce that the 1.0.0 release of DreamNexus will be rolled back. The post with the release notes gained a lot of traction on the SkyTemple server due to unforeseen circumstances, so a lot of people over there started to b̸̓͆ë̶́͌c̶͊̕o̷͇̅m̶̓͝e̶͌͝ ̸̉̓c̸̒̓h̸̎̔ỉ̵̕m̶̞̃c̸̆̊h̶̀́â̴͔ȓ̷̏, which opened a rift in the space-time continuum. As a result, Dialga and Palkia showed up in my flat yesterday at 3 AM and proceeded to beat me up until I finally gave in. More importantly, many community members pointed out missing features such as support for Gold Rescue Team and the Shiren games as well as other oversights like missing input via Kinect. I deeply apologize for the inconvenience, but DreamNexus will remain in Alpha until these issues have been addressed. para pls dont ping @/everyone

And also PMD penguin

Also by JojoRetroGamer in the SkyTemple Discord server

PMD penguin remaster is a remaster of hack what was never summit to skytemple but was on other websites but now what i fixed soem issues and had Adex and funnykecelonmeme playtest i have figured out the issues. this has Made since people were harming penguins on youtube and show them being harmed and some people found funny. so back then i made this hack out of anger did not find them making jokes about penguin death funny. so i still think harming creatures is not funny or making jokes about killing them your self! but enjoy this short rom hack what is 90% finished. and this last hack i be summiting today, so no other ones coming out today.

About this newsletter

As you may have seen, I didn't published a newsletter last week. It was the time where r/place was ongoing ! If you are interested, I wrote a blog post (in french) about what I did here (spoiler : It's not defending/progressing PMD art, but is about Popplio, Turtwig and My Little Pony) : https://mariusdavid.fr/blog/rplace2022

As a remainder, you can contribute to on-going publication of this newsletter. Help would really be appreciated. More information can be found on the dedicated page.

Did I miss anything? Feel free to contact marius851000 on Discord at marius851000#2522, with an email at marius@mariusdavid.fr, on reddit with the user u/marius851000, from an ActivityPub-compatible service (Mastodon) at @marius851000@framapiaf.org or on matrix at @marius851000:newsmatrix.pmdcollab.org.
