Complete Fire Red Upgrade

What is this?

This is my work in progress fork for a personal romhack project (tentatively "Pokemon Trails"). Here's a general breakdown of what this repository has:

• PLA Pokemon support (plus a few extras for my personal project.)
• Several signature moves from PLA: Barb Barrage, Wave Crash, Psyshield Bash, Dire Claw, Infernal Parade, Ceaseless Edge, Triple Arrows, Stone Axe, Mountain Gale, Esper Wing, Chloroblast, Bitter Malice. Much of the code, animation and implementation of this can be credited to Greenphx9 and Soupercell, but some of it is from me.
• A small few TCG moves integrated with accurate effects (again for my personal project. It's setup for a joke in the story)
• Additional animations for Gen 8 moves that did not have finished animation work in vanilla CFRU.
• Support for move effects of Court Change (courtesy of Soupercell), Thunder Cage, Snap Trap, and Decorate, all of which do not have function in vanilla CFRU.

Generally, credits are listed in the files, or in notes for the individual commits, for who changed what - but my process is confessedly pretty messy and I may have made some mistakes! Please do not hesitate to point out any problems to me.

Attack animation particles are free to use (most of the new ones are from me) but please don't use any other graphics I've created or am using; though I have done many, I didn't create all of the character sprites used here. (A more detailed graphics credits listing will come when I start adding more character graphics)

Vanilla CFRU info - read the documentation!!

Before doing anything it is HIGHLY recommended the documentation be read thoroughly.

Installation Instructions

Windows

See the wiki.

UNIX-like OS (Linux, MacOS, ...)

1. Install devkitPro with instructions here.

2. Export ${DEVKITARM}/bin/ to your PATH variable.

3. Make sure you've installed python 3.6+ and it can be called directly via either python or python3.

4. Clone the repo and go inside:

git clone https://github.com/Skeli789/Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade
cd Complete-Fire-Red-Upgrade

5. Get your ROM into the current directory and rename it to BPRE0.gba.

6. Configure the offset you want to insert the code: In scripts/make.py change OFFSET_TO_PUT=YYY to the location you want to insert the data.

7. Run python scripts/make.py (or python3 scripts/make.py if you’ve installed multiple python versions).

A new gba file will appear named as test.gba and an offsets.ini file. Those are your resultant files.

Notes

Anytime you make changes, the compiler will only compile the files you have changed.

Any changes made to header files will require you to type python scripts//clean.py build in cmd and then rerun the build scripts. For more command line options, see "Engine Scripts" in the documentation.

Specific to UNIX-like OS (linux, macOS, ...):

Any changes made to header files will require you to clean everything in build/ and then rerun the build scripts.
