About Update 0.32: Hey all! I'm proud to present Retro Pack Beta for version 0.32! It's a huge update this time around, and why? BECAUSE I'VE ADDED MUSIC! While looking at Daziman thread for packs I found a user that created music files straight from the GBA games! So all credit goes to Refresh100 for this (check out the music on his thread http://pokemon3d.net/threads/308/) however, the music pack wasn't content pack enabled so I made it so! When starting up the game and applying the New RetroPack, it might not be obvious at first that the music changes. Since the vanilla game uses its own version of the original it will sound similar, but after a while you will hear the subtle differences. Along with this update I've added all the NPC's and Textures that come with 0.32, and I've reworked some of the older NPC's for errors and such! As always, Enjoy!

*a word of caution, since this pack now includes music, the download time will be significantly longer*


About Prep packs: from now on, I'll be attempting to stay ahead of updates with Prep Packs. with each update comes new things such as maps, textures, and NPCs, before each update i will try and gather as much information on what is going to be added with each update and create more textures based upon that information. The thing about prep packs is that downloading them before the update will not create any bugs or what not, nor will you see any of the new stuff, what prep packs do is allow me to create the textures that will be added so that when players download the update, RetroPack will be already compatible with the update! Enjoy!



Important Edit! A Message to Beta Testers: I want to thank you first of all for all that you've done in trying out this pack, I am proud to have gotten so much people to enjoy my hard work. So again thank you. But now I ask for your continued help, please make sure to comment here on anything from missing textures and sprites, because this is still is and will continue to be a live project. So please make sure to comment on here, the sooner I know about problems the sooner I can fix them and create a better product.


Also know that this pack relies on the updates for newest textures, that means that between updates is the time to search and explore the newest areas so as to see what is needed.



Keep on keeping on fellow testers!

Yeah okay, I'll have a look. First thing I notice is that the old Nurse Joy looks quite odd next to new Chansey. But otherwise I'm really liking it.

I agree with the guy above and where on earth did the guy in the mart that usually give you gifts from mystery gift come from in the old games don't remember him. I see morty is one of the two gym leaders not done and is that the right sprite for Esucine ?


PS I've been all over the available area's and they look good I take back the comment about the Mystery gift guy I know which sprite he's using now(not that thats his job in this game). Uh mate you need to count of the four gym leaders I can visit (not up to checking the lighthouse or olivine haven't got to that point in the game) Three not two are still un-retro and gold looks cool (not sure why you put no to the player heroes if he's retro).

screenshots would help me figure out which sprite is in question for the mystery guy. if you have a reference to what he's supposed to look like send me a link.

for Eusine i used a different sprite because the sprite that would've been him is really overused in the original games, so i gave him an unused sprite from the game instead!

if you think that takes away from the retro please let me know because i can quickly fix that.

for the gym leaders, which ones do u speak of?

is Falkner retro because i know he's in there.

Morty and Whitney should NOT be retro.
i don't believe Jasmine is implemented yet so it should be two unRetro characters.
EDIT: Jasmine is in the game files now, i will be updating the pack with her once the Gym Leaders are complete

also the concept of changing the starters to retro sprites is so that later when the pack is completed a person will be able to start a game that is fully retro even to the point of choosing a retro starter instead of going into the Player.dat and changing their skins

Screen shot below of the guy i was talking about and the reference to who i thought he was.

Uh hope the second one isn't too small. As for Euscine I just didn't recognise him or not if that was the right one but after seeing(the back of him at least) him in a crystal walkthrough it wouldn't matter I'd still not know who it was. The other gym leader I saw that was still un-retro is bugsy Falker is fine he looks as he should. As I said I couldn't check jasmine.

PS as you may have guess from the above quote about watching a walk through its been awhile since I've played my Gold, Silver or Crystal.

in response to the screenshots. i can tell you that the sprite for him is correct. the sprite is the gate officer. why the Dev team put the Gate Officers in the Poke Center is beyond me and out of my control.

As for eusine. This is what his sprite looks like in the original:

i used that sprite like 3-4 times already(and that's how it was back then, many characters shared the same sprite)

however it didn't seem right so i looked up what Eusine looked like:

and i modeled an unused sprite after him which seemed more accurate:

maybe browner hair and purple clothes would be better?

 

[snoe]

TADA!

i think this is more accurate

 

[Mattyjames22]

Cool looks like him and I just double checked bugsy ain't retro.

 

[snoe]

Cool looks like him and I just double checked bugsy ain't retro.

yea i know. sometime within the next few hours i'll re-upload an up-to-date pack, it'll include all the current Gym Leaders. This'll give me time to do all the gym leaders that aren't implemented yet, and when that's done possibly requests(but that's for another thread)

Well I know why the guard is standing there.
It's just an ordinary NPC you can talk to, he says 'I'm on nightshift so I don't have to work right now.'
Nothing really special that can influence the game or whatever.

 

[Mattyjames22]

It is still weird (more so when he really is the deliveryman that gives you mystery gift stuff gen IV and onwards) but yeah I remember that.

This is just an FYI to all Beta Testers to Update their existing files with the Up to Date Pack:

[Mattyjames22]

I going to sleep (it's morning here in Aus by the way I'm one of the odd ones over here) but If I notice any bugs (doubt it you've done a great job so far) or see any thing odd I'll post it.

 

[pancakeman]

Good texture pack, reminds me of the older games but it looks a bit weird with the new pokemon following the retro skin

in time, ill consider doing a revamp of the pokemon sprites as well. that way everything will be retro! how does that sound?
