    I found out what was causing the specific noise, it's running into PEOPLE that makes the really awful one, I can just avoid doing that, I guess, if there's not another way.

     

    Hi, yes! If you go into the game files /Audio/SE/Bump-npc is the offending file and you could replace it with a different one (such as the normal bump) or perhaps remove it altogther!

    Reborn QoL Update- 19.5.0

    in News and Announcements

    Posted

    Hello, gentle denizens of the much-ravaged internet. The age is long and dark, and little end is in sight. Nothing I have to say can change that for you. But I do have a small update to a video game which can maybe help keep the ennui at bay. Will you accept that?

    no, no new gens sorry not sorry

     

    Today's update is a long time coming, having been forged by our hard at work new team under the capable management of enu, plus some not insignificant help from generous benefactors and patricians of talent within the community. Much love to you all. The focus of this update is primarily on quality of life improvements; it is not a content update.

     

    Legacy 19.0 downloads are available on the download page for those seeking to play with older mods. But if modding is your thing, please consider checking out enu's new suite of mod tools, available here:

    https://github.com/enumag/eevee/releases

     

    And if you are experienced with modding or game dev and the idea of helping out sounds good to you, please consider checking out the community cooperation initiative and maybe applying!

     

    Anyway, have some changelog. It is not complete, because no list of words can ever equate to the monumental amounts of work the team has put in. But it does have some neat Tidbits.

    And by "you probably don't want to update" I mean "we definitely don't want you to update there" and "if you do that and break your game and then complain to us, we will throw metaphorical tomatoes at you".

    Updating

    The updater in use in e19 previously is being replaced with an in-game updater. But, you'll need to download this one manually to get that.

    The new version is using a different save file format. Your save files will automatically be updated to the new format but you can still find the original files in a backup directory.

     

    ❗❗ Do NOT update if you were using a mod such as AllGen / Reatomized / Yang. Mods created for 19.0 are not compatible with 19.5.0 and save files with mons from those mods will not work correctly. Separate your save files FIRST.

     

    ❗❗Also avoid updating in these locations / during these quests:

     

    • Battle Pavillion
    • Battle Factory
    • Water Treatment Center
    • Agate City
    • Glass Workstation
    • Neoteric Isle
    • Darkrai quest
    • Second part of Zygarde quest

     

    After updating, go to a different map immediately since the map from your save file may not work correctly. There will likely be no background music until you visit a new map.



    ❗❗Please also note that the item PC has been retired! If you have items in the PC, please migrate them before updating.

     

    Okay. Downloads are on the download page. We'll have more for you in the future.
    Not more story content... The game's done. But we're still cooking, and fam we got some Chefs up in here.


    Much love, have fun... stay safe out there. You dressed warm, right? Did you bring a snack? Okay. Just checking...
    Until next time.

    New- What Type Are YOU?

    Greetings! Apologies for reviving this dead thread once again, but I just this last week discovered Pokemon Reborn and really really enjoyed the quiz in-game and was hoping there was a way to retake it (ie, for OCs) without having to start a new save file every time. Is there anywhere (even an unofficial fan recreation) where I can take the in-game version of this quiz in a web browser? I'm not looking for any fancy graphics or anything, just answers. This really is the most thoughtful and thorough Pokemon typing quiz I've seen.

    I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm not aware of any web based recreations and unfortunately that was my remodel... but do you really have to make a new file each time? I believe I made it so you can take that quiz any number of times in game on a single save

    Hello, I know the quiz isn't coming back due to the reasons explained above, but I'd still like to ask for a favour.

    You see, after looking at the quiz's source code I could only find the questions and their attached values, but in none of the two pages (Quiz and Results) there was information on how the results are generated. 

    If you were able to provide that information the quiz could be taken old-style (aka calculating your result and looking it up a table) without needing to fix or rework anything.

     

    I know it's a strange petition after so many years, but I wanted to enjoy once again the best Pokémon personality type quiz I've ever encountered and the one in the game lacked the dual-type aspect IIRC

     

    The one in game has dual types too! I tweaked how common they were and added fairy type, and smoothed out some inconsistencies with the question weighting. It -should- just be a straight upgrade!!

    Text to speech for Reborn?

    in The Mod Market

    Posted

    Hi there! I'm impressed you're still trying! I wish we could have done more before the release, but hopefully the left/right hit sounds are working better for you now.

    I passed this onto the team, and it sounds like while it's theoretically possible, it might be a little out of reach for the time being in terms of the difficulty of the integration vs other priorities. I'll keep this in mind though in case that changes in the future. Or perhaps someone in the community again can work on it as a mod?

    These are wonderfully done, I'm super impressed. Keep it up!

    I Really like these Sprites!

    Some of them though exceed the color count limit. It kind of looks like you took the pallets from King's sprites and then added to them. Just be mindful of the limit

     

    It might be an issue for some other projects (romhacks? I'm not sure), but as far as fangames and usage there goes, the color limit is arbitrary, and I sure never once cared about it for Reborn.
    Not that it's not good practice... but it's also a technical limitation that Pokemon used to be designed around, and increasingly no longer are.

    Wow this took me too long to notice. Sorry about that.

    Our link counter was being blocked on some machines, so I've now replaced the links with the counter we use for Reborn. Hopefully that should fix it all. Sorry for the issue and thank you so much for being interested in trying the game!!
