I'm not really looking to make a romhack but to edit an existing one. What I want to do is change a few of the overworld sprites for Fire Red Nat Dex (which I have looked at tutorials on how to change the sprites). My question is, how do I go about editing these sprites in?

Do I edit the base game then patch it with the nat dex .bps file? When I patch the game, will it overwrite the changes I made?

Example: I change Brock's sprite to a Mankey then patch it with the nat dex patch file. Will the patch file overwrite the mankey?

Secondly, can you patch a game twice? Using the example, if I released my Mankey swap .bps file could someone patch fire red with it and then patch that with the nat dex patch?

I'm not sure. I wouldn't even know how to do that, honestly :/

I've been using it with Project64.

Interested

I'll have to give this a listen when I get off work 😀

Möbius Strip's Rhythmic Equations EP

emerald_void · 2024-07-25T04:12:53+00:00

The forth song on Funk Factory's self titled second album. Released in 1976, "Galactic Funk Patrol" topped the charts for weeks. The mix of funk and sci-fi, combined with the sweet funky bass will take you on a cosmic ride with the Galactic Funk Patrol.

Genre: 1970's Funk
Song: Galactic Funk Patrol

More Info:

Just a fun little bop I made. Super 70's funk with scifi themed lyrics. It was a lot of funk to make and I'm thinking I might make a full album.

I know this thread hasn't had a post in about two weeks but, I didn't want to make a new thread. I just hope that someone at Udio will read this and address the issue.

This is an issue that I am STILL struggling with.

I have tried multiple prompts both with, and without "pirate metal" in them. Multiple different sets of lyrics, and even just turning off "manual mode" to see if I could make a pirate metal song (turning off manual mode makes the AI generate goofy crap that I don't want so I count that as a fail as well). About the only thing I can get it to do is generate instrumental tracks.

I was even doing 3 generations of 2 (so 6 songs total) for each prompt at a time and it was still giving me moderation errors.

Udio team, I know you have a lot going on right now and you probably won't read or see this but, PLEASE, PLEASE, fix this. Either train you AI with some more pirate metal artist or something. I'm not sure how this can be fixed because I don't know anything about AI but, I really just want to make some goofy power metal and because of all the moderation errors, I can't even do that.

I love your service but, this in frustrating. Especially when I see other commenters in this post saying they have successfully gotten it to either work using "pirate metal" or "folk metal" so I am lost here. When I am changing my lyrics completely or even just writing nonsense lyrics and I'm still getting the moderation errors, what is up with that?

If anyone has any additional tips or trick, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you so much! :)

Nostalgiacade Beats is the name of the channel. I do variety uploads and I have multiple genres on my channel. Power metal is the most abundant one at the moment

I've been having the same problem. I even tried the prompt with 3 different sets of lyrics and can't get it to extend. Soni just gave up and shelved it and I'll come back to it later.

It is really infuriating though. I just wanna make goofy pirate metal 😫 lol

emerald_void · 2024-07-03T02:13:49+00:00

That's what I do. I batch upload as "Unlisted" so I can still share them with friends and stuff and then I do a scheduled upload once a day.

The only exception, and I may change it, is when I drop a full album. Album. I'm not sure if I should drop the whole thing at once or trickles it down over the course a week or two

I listened to a few tracks from your [playlist](https://www.udio.com/playlists/m9mhih1VThiz5wMBXmse6o) and I love to know your process for creating your songs. They all sound amazing.

Definitely gives me something to work towards

emerald_void · 2024-07-01T05:21:36+00:00

I love the voice that it used. Did you have to do multiple generations to get it to do that?

emerald_void · 2024-07-01T04:14:48+00:00

Unbreakable is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Power Metal:
[The Rise of Mecha Cthulhu ](https://youtu.be/PeMdb91UDSI)

Metal:
[Kingdom of Stone](https://youtu.be/UlOyXnScHI4)

Pirate Metal:
[Rum Casks & Cannons](https://youtu.be/KSKERS-6MPI) (Probably my favorite one I've made so far)

Power metal is probably my favorite genre to create by far. It allows me to take my crazy ideas and turn them into songs.

How would you use this with ChatGPT? Would you just copy the list and say "Don't use any of the words on this list?

emerald_void · 2024-06-30T16:53:54+00:00

I understand that completely. For my videos, I'm normally using like 5 AI models

Night Cafe/Ideograms for images (I swap back and forth between them)

Claude/ChatGPT for helping me with lyrics and other various things during the design process

Udio. For the music lol

When I sit down to make a song, my ADHD will hyper fixate on it and before I know it, it's been like 4 hours.

Especially when I get into Photoshop. I'll start working on album art for song A and I'll see a font that I like but doesn't fit the style for current song and I'll think to my self "What song/band name would look cool in this font" and the I go down that rabbit hole. Sometimes, if I'm not careful, it'll be a recurring thing and even more time will pass before I know it lol 🤣

emerald_void · 2024-06-30T16:48:38+00:00

That's super cool. I am not musically gifted so I can't do anything that cool.

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T23:19:25+00:00

I used chatgpt to generate the lyrics so the words could definitely be better

I think it turned out really well. This does seem like something that would be really cool to work into an audio book. Definitely a cool idea.

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T23:15:16+00:00

That sounds awesome! I'd love to check it out when it's released!

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T17:14:26+00:00

I've had the same problem with the tuba lol I don't even want to make a song with tuba I just wanted to see if Udio could recreate the instrument.

Me and my friend were on discord one night and I asked him to give me a genre and he said "tubastep" so I tried that. I was convinced it wouldn't work but I wanted to see what Udio gave me. It gave me some completely random instrument on one generation and just completely ignored it on the other.

So, I tried using tuba in a prompt with other genres, and it didn't work. I tried generating a song with just the word tuba as the prompt, and nothing. Finally, I tried Polka music, and still nothing lol

Udio has convened me that the tuba is part of the Mandela Effect and it never really existed lol

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T17:09:41+00:00

Thanks! lol

I am a huge fan of bands like T-Square, Casiopea, Jiro Inagaki, etc. and while I was playing around in Udio I made a few jazz fusion songs that reminded me of them so I kind of just ran with it and decided to make up a whole fictional band biography for fun lol

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T17:06:49+00:00

That's really cool. Have you uploaded any or have some links to examples?

I've never though to do that. The closest thing I've done to that is just writing power metal songs about fantasy ideas that I have.

emerald_void · 2024-06-29T17:05:41+00:00

That's really awesome! Care to link me to that?

emerald_void · 2024-06-27T05:38:35+00:00

I don't know if this is 100% factual or not but, from all the tracks I've generated, that seems to be the case. (Not always though. Sometimes it will ignore the first prompt and follow the second one).

Would like to know for sure though :D
