[MOD] Various Battle Backgrounds + Surfing Lapras

[xingzhiyu]

Will it be possible to integrate these four background one day.

And it's really great.😘

[Empi]

That's awesome I am looking forward to your tutorial!

[AshNinja]

Great work! Have been waiting ages for something like this! My only gripe is I guess the beach ones totally block the opposing Mon's most of the time. Looking forward to more in the future, and do you know whether it's possible to have more than one per rom? Like different areas based on where the battle is, like in the base game?

 

I guess there must be some differences as PokeMMO has different colour backgrounds to match this normally? May just be the RGB values changed, if so maybe you could make some generic ones that don't look weird if the colour is different; Whatever it is, it will be a lot better than the pixelated default ones!!

I understand about the issue with the beach and im aiming to address it with custom background modding. It is possible to have more than one background for a rom, the issue is specification. I chose to use one background because there are too many variations to make patches for.

Is there any way to edit, to put the background I want?

[Udazwor]

Would love to see a randomizer added for rotating between a different background for each battle.

Could you please elaborate on this? Do you mean there are too many to make?

 

If it wouldn't take too much effort, it would be amazing if you recorded a quick video of what you do to modify/select them? No need to talk over it with a tutorial or anything, but at least we could see how it works and maybe help you with some more backgrounds or something? 🙂 I just wouldn't know where to start

Oui, il ne fonctionne qu'avec les roms américaines.

Wouldn't there be a possibility to change the background with FR ROMs ?

1. For PC users: Download xdelta: https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/598/

    For Android users: UniPatcher from the Google Play Store
2. Open xdeltaUI.exe
3. For the Patch file select the appropriate game version patch (White Patch for Pokemon White and Black Patch for Pokemon Black)
4. For the Source file select the ROM you use to play Pokemmo with (it has to be an unpatched USA rom of Black or White [5585 Pokemon Black/5584 Pokemon White] or else the patch will likely not work)

6. Open Pokemmo's LOGIN Screen > Client Management > Black/White Rom > Select your patched ROM> After selecting your ROM Pokemmo will close and the mod is now installed!

If you load into game and still don't see the background, look in Pokemmo settings Video section and see if "Show Battle Background" is checked. Screenshot below

The mod is safe to use, you will not get banned for using it. You cannot use two different backgrounds at the same time. These are imports from Black & White 2 battle backgrounds (from the Movie mini-game).

I would like to give special thanks to @cloo for their documentation/publication/general help. @efeburc for their No battle ground mod/publication help. Lastly @Smooge for shedding light on Battle background modding and getting me started on this journey. I'm currently working on getting fully custom battle backgrounds in game and provide a guide for it but until then enjoy these imports I've selected. 🙂

If you have any questions you can post in the thread or ask me on Discord: guaychow

Your mod is very original, I downloaded the US ROMs just to be able to use your mod! 😉

Created a Video/Written Guide on it, check out the post below.

Yes, follow the guide I posted below and you will be able to make them for FR ROMs.

I don't intend to make patches for every single Black 2 background. If there is a background you want in-game, you can import it with my guide.

I appreciate what you've done here. I would like to contact you directly through discord: guaychow

Hello there!
I would like to know if you could answer some questions for me.
 

· Is it possible to model scenarios and import them, or just change them?
· Do the scenarios you used come from a specific site? · Did you implement the scenarios for each battle manually (one by one) or is there a way to use a parent scenario?
· Do you intend to share more data about the progress of this project with the public?
· Is it possible to obtain the scenarios you posted to examine them? (If the second answer applies, ignore this.)
 

I’m just very interested in what could be done, and I’ve searched for several hours, but there doesn’t seem to be much of my interest on the internet. I’m not an expert on this topic, but I want to get involved. Greetings!

I think it is possible.
 

2. Do the scenarios you used come from a specific site? Did you implement the scenarios for each battle manually (one by one) or is there a way to use a parent scenario?

My guide explains how I implement them & I got the models from Black & White 2
 

3. Do you intend to share more data about the progress of this project with the public?
I don't intend to create more Imports posts like this one.

Added a new patch that replaces the surfing model with a Lapras model from Pokemon X & Y, it also has a shiny variation (Screenshot in the main post). This patch doesn't include any battle background changes. I've also included a link to the model in my Import tutorial if you wish to customize your ROM.

[Ilyasvielle]

hello can you make the lapras thing on pokemon heartgold because our pokemon white is already patched with anime voices

I'm not sure if that's possible because PokeMMO utilizes Black/White surf model for all of the DS regions.
