I'm coding an online BN client that allows custom content with the end-goal of putting it into a real PET case. I do NOT accept donations, bribes, or blackmail.

The end-goal for ONB is putting it into a real PET case.
Since it can already run on rasp-pi, and we have the link-gate program now, this should be feasible.

Based on the comments on my tweets over the years, I think people on here don't realize the videos and screenshots are not mock-ups or GBA rom-hacks. This is a real project and you can download v2 on gamejolt:

Finally fixed the animation system by practically rewriting how I approached frametime intervals between them. This new way allows the engine to do something cool: custom state transition behavior at specific frame intervals.
With this, you can have unique walk-to-run animation!

You have not heard much from me and that's because we're super close to finishing the next version.

modders have figured out how to use time-freeze chip API to make timed menus for... *checks notes* swapping out as playable viruses
I didn't know you could do this and I programmed it. 😶
@OpenNetBattle
modders have made a lot of cool viruses and bosses for players to fight. But that's not all these enemies are good for.
I wonder if this can be used to mimic some other game...?

I'm genuinely curious. How do you feel about seeing characters from different games in battle network? Comment in the thread, I will be reading and considering your input. 👇

ONB v2 was cool, technically. Sure people made their navis come alive to battle and explore people's own custom servers, but what was there to stick around for? That's what ONB v2.5 tooling solves: gamified content! Plus an easier way to make and test content with a button click!

👋Hello new followers. Quick info:
I started this 6 years ago. I'm the primary and mostly only coder. Public release is v2. Next version has more content and much needed features like chip sorting (see vid). I never expected to have this many mods and players. Sorry about that.

Let's take a look at some other improvements on the engine in 2.5:
- Chip sorting (long overdue, I know)
- Chip flip out effect (frame accurate to the game)
- Mail attachments
- *NEW* minigame framework for servers

A little transparency from me: I had planned to follow up on some of the new features like the chip select customization. But since then, I made changes to how animations tick every frame which resulted in some graphical glitches. I must fix those first! Here's virus attachments.

I wanted to see what BN would look like if it had special effect support for text.
It worked out well so I think I'll keep it in. Maybe it'll be useful for identifying key items for online quests?

Idea:
if your rasp pi has the wifi module, and there were server hot spots placed in the physical world, hypothetically you could jack in from your hand held just like in the games.

Several years ago before I started this project, I made an online guide on how to make your own chip reader at home using the contact-pins on the PET chip toys and read their binary values.
As this project nears its completion, we have come full circle.
Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

Created by modder Dawn for ONB. Turn your PVP matches into a new game-mode by installing this NCP on your navi before battle.
Super simple but no one thought of making this before. That's where the genius in simplicity lies. 👌

Cat boomerangs are here, in

. Chen's chip, from Shanghai.EXE, has her spin around the field three times. She'll stop over holes.
Marked as Null, but she does Shanghai's "Earth" damage, which is effective against Shanghai-type Fire Navis, like Yuki here.

There's lots of fun things you can do with the engine if you're creative. You can offset the mugshot animation origin point above the textbox and use that screen space as free real-estate for even cooler mugshots!
It's fun seeing makers catch on to these little engine secrets.

There's quite a lot of controversy in the ONB discord- whether to add some new version of navi cust or drop it all together. So let's try and settle it: why did YOU like the navi customizer in the BN games and how would you RE-IMAGINE it differently? 🤔

To test, I'll play the game in an emulator and then spawn high HP mettaurs to unload chips onto. I make tweaks to the visuals and logic to make sure it matches the emulator as close as I can
