More rom hacks should be done for DS, the graphics give more cinematic potential for new Pokemon stories. That's what it's all about imo.

This is great content. I've had loads of ideas from romhacking for years but always felt like it would take far, far too long to find and learn all the tooling. This is great stuff

Once upon a time you had to model the map from zero in a 3D modelling program. The old good days...

I'm interested in making my own game with a custom map and I've always loved the gen 4 graphics of heart gold and was wondering if you can add custom tile sets like desert and canyon based ones if so where would I look for those? Also how do buildings work, is there custom models for builds or a way to change the color of the gyms? I also saw your HG Engine video and wondering do they work together?

@sauceyaTTa 8 ай бұрын

As far as other tilesets, I think you'd have to make them yourself, or find them in #tile-sharing in the Kingdom of DS Hacking discord. Buildings can be exported with DSPRE, but I haven't worked with them much. And yes, hg-engine is 100% compatible with this. They edit completely different things

@unbound195 10 ай бұрын

Hi, Thank you so much for the videos, they are really helpful. If you don't mind, I have some questions: How big can a map be? Like, how many quadrants big per header? How many maps can one add to the gen 4 games? It should be one per header I think (also swapping the existing ones), but wouldn't the games have problem with loading?

@sauceyaTTa 10 ай бұрын

It's basically one map per each cell in the overworld matrix. A header can own multiple maps, like how route 29 has 3 maps with one header. You can expand the matrix 0 up to twice it's size with a DSPRE patch (in the tool icon). You can also edit caves and interiors and expand those areas by selecting the size of the matrix in the matrix editor in DSPRE

Yup, but you'll need to insert with ctrmap instead of DSPRE

This video is awesome! I actually want to learn how to make a gen 5 rom hack but i feel like there is a reason why there aren't really any gen 5 ones with custom maps? because i do see a lot of custom mapping on gen 3/4 games 🤔

@emote5640 6 ай бұрын

It's more of a GBA vs DS issue than a Gen 3/4 vs Gen 5 issue. The GBA pokemon games just have way, waaaay more research and development put into their Rom Hacking scene than the DS has, since the GBA stuff was cracked decades ago while freely available and well-functioning DS Rom Hacking tools are a much more recent thing.

Ive been thinking about making a heartgold romhack but i have some questions. - Is there any way to put the mystery dungeon facial expression boxes over the text of characters talking in a hg/ss rom hack? - is there any way to customize a building's aesthetic?

@sauceyaTTa 7 ай бұрын

I don't know how to do the mystery dungeon thing, but some GBA hacks do it, so it's probably doable. Just not sure how. You can use PDSMS and blender to modify buildings, but I do not have much experience with that

Might be a dumb question but I just opened the DSPRE and its asking me to open a ROM or a folder, with which ROM should I usually work with? the test.nds rom?

@sauceyaTTa 9 ай бұрын

You want to open the ROM itself. If you've already opened the test.nds ROM then there should be a dedicated folder that DSPRE generated so you can pick up where you left off

@aaronthebaron13820 Ай бұрын

i am following your tutorials, however, when I load in my map, the trees, stairs, and benches will not render the texture for their models, and instead I only get a white blank texture for the models. They are normal in game black/white 2 models... no custom models.

@sauceyaTTa Ай бұрын

That sounds like a missing texture. Are you replacing the nsbtx too? (That's the texture file that you also must export)

@jcjvcjc98 4 ай бұрын

You can probably rip them from g5 games with ctrmap and insert the nsbmd into the g4 game with pdsms's building editor. You'll need to open your g4 ROM in DSPRE first

Is there a way to make one specific Pokemon mandatory to the party? So that the player can neither release nor put it in the PC? Or would that require custom coding?

@sauceyaTTa 9 ай бұрын

I believe there are scripts that involve checking for a certain party pokemon or number of pokemon before a battle or when a script is triggered. But to have that globally true at any point is a little more in depth than I know
