Ok, so I downloaded it.
I gotta say, I was not impressed. :/
First, a ROM hacking tool does not need a setup option, I understand if it was to install Run Times, but you should just instruct the user to do that.
Opening all the windows took a couple of seconds.
The names were all inputted into the editor, what if a hacker changes the name? They'll want it to be just as in the ROM, so load the damn names from the ROM.
With the introduction editor I was expecting a text editor, not a pokemon changer, specify what I am editing.
By the name of the program, I was expecting a shop editor, not a workshop, these things rarely work out, you should be focusing on stand alone tools, and all the flashy functions don't need to be there, if you're hacking something you just need it to be easily accessible, everything that's here I could easily do by looking through the file system and changing **** there.
Also, ditch "Pokespam" groups are useless, this was proven years ago.
Just a flashy GUI, sorry. :/
Try to do something new that no one else has done though!
Although I respect you, Interdpth, I have the following responses.
I'm not sure how much you know about programming, but as this program gets more and more additions, it will require the setup option. Also, if you use a program more, it's convenient to have it in the start menu. To be quite honest, only the most inexperienced or snooty programmers make their software difficult to use on purpose.
if you're hacking something you just need it to be easily accessible
Then use my program. You're obviously contradicting yourself here.
What do you mean by saying that all-in-one- or suite- style programs never work out? That's a ridiculous claim.
Also, I find your "it took a couple seconds to load" comment only slightly believable, and pretty ignorant. My dad's PC, which, ask Gabe, is archaic, loads this faster than it loads most popular programs, including hacking software like script editors. Also, how long do you think it takes to load each individual tool at once?
I understand your frustration at this program not including that many tools yet, but I don't think your response was very well thought out. You talk about the need for convenience and ease in hacking programs, yet when just that is introduced, you complain that having all the programs in one gives you a momentary lag, because the program has so many functions.
Also, I'm not sure how much you know about Pokemon Diamond and Pearl hacking, Interdpth, so don't take offense at this; but we don't know nearly enough to change the names of Pokemon in the ROM yet. When we do, obviously, we'll probably have to change a lot of these tools around. As of now, we're doing the best we can, with what we know.
Do you really think as much work as we've gotten done would have gotten done if it weren't for PokeSpam's collaborative efforts? I mean, Gabe would have gotten a lot of research done, but hardly any software would have been created by now, really. If it weren't for PokeSpam and a couple unique individuals (who chat with PokeSpam on a regular basis) like D-Trogh and LoadingNOW, we wouldn't be nearly as progressed as we are on the subject of Diamond and Pearl ROMs: in other words, Pokemon hacking would eventually cease to be, as we'd be hacking only older games...
And yes, Gabe's right, I only joined PokeSpam for the programming. It's good practice, and kind of fun, and it's something to do.. If you're really that against use of the easy button, then that's your business, and I'll leave you to it. Thanks for the input.
Also, if it did actually lag more like 5 seconds than 1 second, tell me, because it may be a problem involving that specific platform, in which I'll look into it. I'm telling you, though, from all prior testing it runs fine on XP and Vista..
Also, I have to tell you, you're being kind of impatient. You of all people, as an experienced hacker, should know that Rome wasn't built in a day. As soon as we get the information for new tools, or I finish coding additions, they will be added. I know there's a couple things that are existent and not in our program, but for the meanwhile, this is still a convenient tool, and I know that that opinion isn't held solely by me.
Lastly, I've already, incase you didn't notice, added in a standalone version of this software (no installation required) for you pr0 haxx0rs who are allergic to convenience. Just kidding on the last rib, LOL.
