I love how straightforward this engine is once set up!

[@sauceyaTTa]

It's so useful

[@marcstutsman4861]

Ha! I was just about to search the discord for guidance on doing this too! Saved me the trouble you did!

[@toenail6894]

Extremely helpful! Just recently subbed because of how beginner friendly these guides are! Keep up the great work!

[@zabaman1748]

Fantastic, this all has helped tremendously thank yall for the hard work

[@Riimut]

Thank you for this, was wondering about this a few days ago!

[@sauceyaTTa]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacobwinters1385]

Thank you! I asked you for help and you delivered quickly thank you very much!

[@sauceyaTTa]

It was like the most requested thing!

[@mr.c207]

Could you make a video of how to create static encounters in either HG-Engine or DSPRE? I’d like to add in the paradox Pokemon as static encounters throughout the game, but don’t know even where to start with this.

[@sauceyaTTa]

You're in luck, I've actually been doing this a lot for Mythic Silver and it's really easy. I'll try and go over this in a tutorial soon!

[@IKKAIWINS]

Will you be making a tutorial for making custom abilities? Also this is some incredible work, praise for all of you!

[@sauceyaTTa]

Once I'm done / further with the hack I'm working on, I'm going to dive deeper into new moves and abilities. Im not confident enough in that yet to make a video

[@thomaslong3439]

Hey, sauceyaTTa I think it would be cool if you and the HG-engine makers could allow for level scaling for enemy trainers right in the engine.

[@ongakumaa]

Hey, thanks for your tutorials, they're great! Unrelated to Pokemart editing though, I have a question too if it's not too much trouble. How do you add post-gen 5 moves into the game? Even though all of them were coded into hg-engine, it's like they don't exist at all when you compile the rom... (for example, I've added gen 6 Fairy moves like Moonblast into Togetic's learnset, but they don't appear at all in-game). Do I have to "enable" them one way or another?

[@marcstutsman4861]

Question, the list has a lot of Dray's changes in it still and I'm trying to figure out what it all means. (Example, trying to edit the Mahogany shop (post TR)) in the file it appears that the Mahogany Shop is repointed to the Goldenrod Mall? (Line 198) Or there are mart lists spilling over to each other? (Line 213). How would one restore the shops to their vanilla stock if the inventories have been edited and moved?

[@sauceyaTTa]

I think you'd have to look up on Bulbapedia the corresponding shop entries and do some trial and error to see. I'm not including many marts in my hack I'm making so I haven't tested yet

[@sausagesage159]

Hey man, i just started making romhacks myself, thanks to all your great vids. I haven't been able to watch them all, and im not sure if you will see this comment, But I am wondering if you know how to edit moves in gen 4, or perhaps Add your own moves to the game?

[@sauceyaTTa]

You should use pokeditor for editing moves, but that can also be done in hg-engine if you're using heart gold

Thank you. Just a question. When you work on dspre and want to add something with hg-engine. Do you just rename your rom as "test" and put it in the hg-engine folder?

[@sauceyaTTa]

You always want to rename the ROM rom.nds before running it through the engine, regardless of changes you've made in other tools

[@majinuraraka]

I have an request if you don’t mind I’d be willing to pay you to hack platinum hg and the gen 5 games male overworld sprite to Brendan’s

[@cyrhasmarshall4603]

Have you got a tutorial for changing player models in gen 6 roms please?

[@FerpectOval]

Hey so to clarify, is it all the mart lists that cannot be added onto, or just the ones associated with badges?

[@sauceyaTTa]

I would not add to the badge ones, but I'm not sure about the others. I think the bit limit is a hard thing

[@Maigus224]

Okay so I may be blind or somthing but how do i change the shiny rate i want shinies to show up roughly every 1/50 encounters.

[@scdijkens]

I have a question regarding using HSE in conjunction with DSPRE. When I build an test.nds with HSE it overrides for example message texts made in DSPRE if the rom.nds was modified by DSPRE beforehand. On the other if you build a test.nds before doing DSPRE edits it works, but that means you'd have to do those edits each and everytime you build a new test.nds with HSE (which can become very problematic if you want to do a lot of DSPRE edits). Any way to make this process in an order that won't cause issues? (I don't plan to use HSE for dialogue or script changes so maybe those overrides can be disabled?)

[@sauceyaTTa]

You should run make clean before make -j4 when putting a modified DSPRE ROM into hge

[@scdijkens]

@@sauceyaTTa interesting. Could you try to, in layman's terms, explain what the commands "make clean" and "make -j4" do? I am worried it might mess with my alterations within HGE. (I am randomizing, before I make --jobs: encounters.s, trainers.s data and some other things with a small randomizer program I scripted myself). If explaining the commands is too much work, a simple confirmation that those randomized edits are safe is good too :)

[@scdijkens]

@@sauceyaTTa And do I still do make --jobs after make --j4 ?

[@cx2ow940]

How do you do this in gen 5?

[@bronzeking550]

How to add new Pokemon´s ?
