[firemaster]

OFFICIAL THREAD OF DIRT BROWN:
this POST will be updated as I update the game... look here first!



PLOT:
Basically, yer parents were killed and you have to move to an orphanage... Its not the nicest place in town... There's no professor to give you a choice of rare pokemon, no professor to give you a pokedex, no family in high places. You're gonna earn your way to the top without anyones help, and show those fancy ritchboys whose really top dog!

FEATURES:
-"Poor boy 'tude".. you wont take help from no-one, cept a few other orphans
-True misfortune... there no nice professor, there are no nice items on the ground for you to find either
-All new towns
-All new events... thats right NO OLD EVENTS.
-All new trainers... no old ones!!!
-All new gymleaders that give u different TM's than before
-All pokemon catchable: pending
-No 'rivals'... the world is your rival... you have to beat tons of peeps to claw yer way to the top
-No friends either except other orphans... 1 or 2 in particular...
-Appearances of new trainer types, such as orphans, prep's, and the 'ol richboy
and more... i will update as i update

WICKED SCRIPTING LEETNESS:
-Dynamic weather. This means its rainy one day and sunny the next. Originally it was just random, but now its a realistic cycle.
-New berry system. Blows anything before it out of the water... Just play it to see.
-A new way to fish. Drop yer line off a cliff, or just cast as usual.
-Train system, similar to gold version...(not accesable in current beta)

CURRENT BETA:
It is attached to this post!
The beta ends after about 15 mins of play. Most sectipns after that are mostly done, but getting revamped with my new weather scripting skills...

Oh yea, this is a beta. So dont expect to download the next version and pick up where you left off...

In the 2nd town there is a fence in your path. Thats where the beta ends! Dont be stupid and ask me 1000x why there is a fence there.

THIS IS A RUBY HACK!

This post will be updated.
Completion level: ~45%

the storyline has a few twists on the way...

if i figure out how to add new pokemon w/o deleting the old ones there will be new pokemon too...


OH, and 18 views but very few comments on the game? did any of you actually play it.. lol...

[firemaster]

ok... everyone begs for a beta, 22 views... how much feedback do i get?nothin....

so... to bad for you guys, there will be no open beta's anymore... Im gonna pick a few lucky ppl to test it and thats all, the rest of you can wait.... better for the suspense anyways...

[goldenslider]

maybe it would help if we could actually play it. downloaded zip file, tried to unzip - "no files to extract"

[firemaster]

maybe it would help if we could actually play it. downloaded zip file, tried to unzip - "no files to extract"

i just downloaded it and it's perfectly fine...

[goldenslider]

turns out it was a problem with opera.

and on my previous post, substitute "we" for "i" - i didnt mean to say "we", i dont know why that happened

[firemaster]

turns out it was a problem with opera.

and on my previous post, substitute "we" for "i" - i didnt mean to say "we", i dont know why that happened

happens...

[e-MeR]

Really rox...Storyline is a real difference blazing anyone around!
How about putting rap lyrics şnstead of some texts?

[Scyther]

no not rap ITS EVIL
*rap music come on the radio*
IM MELTING............

[firemaster]

no not rap ITS EVIL
*rap music come on the radio*

[Scyther]

taunt 22.mp3

ur my hero

[Midori Chi]

Hey that sounds kewl!.How do I see it or try it out?.....and I'm makeing a Pok'emon game,its called {Pok'emon Royal Blue Sapphire}-Its an up-grad of Sapphire,you can get ALL the Pok'emon,and also a "Brand New Breed" of Pok'emon,all New Types,more playable Poeple, and there is a really cool thing at the end of the game.You also can have 7 Pok'emon in your party(How cool is that?).You can down load music(if you want) on to it,so its not the same dumb old music,over and over and over again,thank God.Its a Brand New place called Tallen,You can chose your age,so your not a 14 year old,New starter Pok'emon....Its not done yet,I'll tell y'all when it is :D

[Tzuri17]

[Midori Chi]

Thanx,I might add more,but thats it for now

[webduelist]

[e-MeR]

Well I wanted to mean hip-hop but typed rap...
LOL

[Scyther]

[Midori Chi]

Thats just my Idea,I cant wait to get it off the ground. when I said I was working on it,I ment I still have more Ideas,and if some-one could tech me how to "HACK",that would be great!.Its an up-grad of Blue-&-Sapphire,like puting them to gather,and I have an Idea.The New porfesser(how ever ya spill it) later on in the game,she makes a thing to mix Pok'emon,like mixing 2 Pok'emon,but that would be to hard to make,but nothin is impossable.Just PM me on how to "HACK".Bve!!

~Rachel~(I'm a girl for 6 days,hehe)

[firemaster]

i cant play pokemon dirt brown its goyt a problem with the maping u cant get past the truck it says map invalid so will u plz fix it

i have no idea... works fine for me...

and what says 'map invalid'

like a message comes up in VBA or somethin??

[Goatman56]

dude were do u download the demo i can't find it

[firemaster]

I took the beta down for awhile ;til i can get it perfect.... like i got this sprite... WOOT!!!!! she is HOTTTT!!!!

[KiraYamato]

Pretty cool sprite, could use a bit of work, but it looks pretty good to me. And her skirt is pretty short isnt it? haha. Anyway, good luck with your hack firemaster, im anxious to see how it turns out :D

[firemaster]

And her skirt is pretty short isnt it?

HAHA... a GUY said that.... man... this place is creepy

If yer nice i'll do one of her in a thong :D


(look.. i didnt double post)
You asked ;) so here it is... just gotta find an excuse to put THIS one in game!

[Goatman56]

there cool dude and your game sounds awesome i've been waiting for a challenge cause some pokemon games like the ones i play on gameboy are easy

[firemaster]

there cool dude and your game sounds awesome i've been waiting for a challenge cause some pokemon games like the ones i play on gameboy are easy

oh yea.. my game will be a challenge...

and the 8 gyms will only be the first half of the game... muhahahaha

(the script wizard has plans)

[Spiro]

its looking good keep it up

[firemaster]

ok.. before im off for the night, heres a progress report:

6 completely new towns/routes done... (dirtmud town... just sounds run-down)
1 gym done
1 more gym almost done... will be done tommarow and them some...
30 catchable pokemon already
about 20 new trainers, some are even new types such as 'ORPHAN'
Just put that girl in... as an orphan... she looks poor and dirty tho... dont worry... girls love shopping (haha... poor pic.. look @ it)

[Midori Chi]

I like the first one,the one with the skirt

~Mike~

[KiraYamato]

Lol, I wasnt complaining about the skirt, just saying it was pretty short for a pokemon character, and after all they are sprites and I dont exacly find sprites attractive.

[Sumomo & Kotoko]

I think its cool,she looks almost just like me.PM me the game when its done,I would really like to play it.thankz

[e-MeR]

Cool trainer pic...LoL
ANIME PERVERTS FAN CLUB...
:P
LoL

[firemaster]

Cool trainer pic...LoL
ANIME PERVERTS FAN CLUB...
:P
LoL

indeed....

dont worry ladies... i'll put a hot guy in there... cuz im making a sprite of myself :D

OH! and I changed my avatar for the occasion :laugh:

[firemaster]

i cant believe it... i forgot to give you running shoes... that much walking is way too much... but now you can get 'em from someone at the orphanage:
"One thing every orphan want's is good shoes."
Amen sista!

Bike will be coming soon... maby i'll make you have to win it.. Hmm....

for screenshots, look @ my post #1

ok... and here's me! i might show up somewhere in-game... Tho i look a bit funny cuz the pallete i used id a bit off....

[Goatman56]

so is your game gonna have new pokemon

[firemaster]

My game will porbably have new pokemon, as long as i can add new without removing any old ones, which i think i can... anyways... Im gonna be away for a week or so, so im posting a few more SS's...

and ALL pokemon will be catchable, including loads of one-timers

[firemaster]

well.... i'm back, and it appears thetfrom the # of new posts that everyone sure missed me alot... lol

[BigBoss]

Wow! this hack is one of the best I've seen! oh, What happened to the Beta? it is not there. Oh, I encourage you to join the X Hackers, we could use you!

[Milan Baros]

hey this hack rocks !!!! but when is a beta versioon released ????

[firemaster]

a beta is released... click the link in my sig...

beta is old....

as far as i've got you arrive in a train and can battle 4 gyms so far.... its goin well!!!

i just keep gettin better at hacking and revising my old stuff, even tho ppl loved it before...

and check out the train...

[EVA02]

im playin it you Know where you go thruogh that small path the stuf in there ill post a screen and this is great and i like the bit where thar man gives you a pokemon pidgey you get all the starters from the old game like mudkip and that in the wild like in the pictures i like that idea and r u releasing a walkthrough

[firemaster]

im playin it you Know where you go thruogh that small path the stuf in there ill post a screen and this is great and i like the bit where thar man gives you a pokemon pidgey you get all the starters from the old game like mudkip and that in the wild like in the pictures i like that idea and r u releasing a walkthrough


wow.. that SS is messed up... did you patch a FRESH RUBY rom?

will i release a walkthrough? probaby not, but i might release a map of the whole region so you can see where u gotta go...


and BTW.. how do ya'll like the train... not too ugly, eh? (it was hard to draw actually... i'll porbably tweak it a bit tho...

[Sarck45]

the train nice, and the idea too =\

[firemaster]

i got a 'lil scripting to do on the train still

oh well...thats what happens when you make 100% new events..

[Sarck45]

thats what happens when you make 100% new events..
maybe it's hard work but it's worth it!
if your gam have the original events the game will be boring..

[firemaster]

wow... the train is alot of work...

but it works so far... got the attendant to make you walk to the train and warp you to wherever....

still have to program the bit that cheks for tickets and asks for your choices based on what tickets you have...

[EVA02]

thanks youve ansered my question i am in forever you debt

[Jason]

Where is the new patch? The one on the site is dated Sept 25th...

[firemaster]

that's as far as im releasing for now

and sorry for yall that played my beta obsessively, you'll have to restart for the next version cuz ut changed so much...

[Jason]

I just played that beta only like 30mins ago..>And you are wastiing my valuable time - i caught like over 10 different wild pokemon...

EDIT: Please release the patch with a different filename so it will avoid the messup of caches.

[EVA02]

hey have you released it yet but i can wait untill u relese it the next patch i mean

[Jason]

I think he went offline...he will be back soon. Just be patient :)

[xantor]

I got this a while ago, it is wicked, I can't wait for the full, but don't rush it, if you rush it won't be up to its full potential.

[EVA02]

i like ur train aswell its great

[EVA-01]

looks wikid i just wanna say, it needs a bit of shading

[doomsday_shadow]

I cant pass from the 1st gym!!! Ive beated it, and now I dont know where to go...

[Jason]

Well, i think u have to wait for the 2nd patch.

I guess that Dirt Brown will be the first ever hack to be finish for RS/E/FRLG era.

[doomsday_shadow]

Then, I cant wait for the 2nd patch to come out ^^! Any dates, firemaster?

[Jason]

He said sometimes today US time

[doomsday_shadow]

OK tnks for help ^^!
Another thing (OFFTOPIC): what are your team?

[Jason]

I guess he's doing the hack on his own. Doing a hack on his own is the best thing.

[EVA02]

hmmmm this goes into my fave hacks with other hacks that i like and i like playin this and cant wait for the next beta *sits patiently while he is hackin*

[Jason]

EVA02's right, I have this hack in my Promising hacks list :D

[doomsday_shadow]

Hey guys, Do you know in the "Forest rest" or sumthing like that in the beta?? I used the walkthrough walls code and I passed the rocks that were blocking the way!!! PIdgeotto!

[Jason]

He said they are maps and events he has not done is beyond the part - if you are stuck after a long time like this, that marks the end of the beta. Just wait for the 2nd and you will see better :P

[EVA02]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh maybe you shouldnt do that

[doomsday_shadow]

lol why??
OFFTOPIC: EVA02 or EVA01, can one of you help with hex editing?? If yes, add m in MSN please.

[Jason]

They are both on MSN. I will invite you over.

[EVA02]

cant wait till he gets back on and releases the 2nd beta ummm and its still cool to me

[RainbowIslands]

Firemaster.. plz pm me when the second beta is done... thx very much :)

[firemaster]

to answer all the questions:

1) yes, im doint it alone
2) yes, the beta ends after the first gym at those rocks
3) i put those rocks there for a reason, b/c its not done
4) if you go past 'em,its yer loss it's kinda uncomplete after that point
5) sorry, but you cant continue where you left off in beta 1, the beginning of the game has been tweaked
6) the train will be shaded a bit more, i just wanted to scriptit first... this has taken 2 days so far, its about 1/2 done... just look at all this code, its not even done yet!

[firemaster]

not sure... i might wait til its done...

or possibly a few more...

[Jason]

I would like to betatest that train feature :P

[firemaster]

[Jason]

Its a part of VBA...

Tools
Recording
AVI recording
Make a file
Full frames
OK
Move around til your done
TOols
Recording
Stop AVI recording
RAR it.
Upload
Enjoy

[firemaster]

nah... i mean a real movie... you cant watch those movies unless you have the ROM...

[Jason]

Bleh..use the avi so people can see it:D

[_Chris_]

I have played the beta and wanted to say its awesome.

[firemaster]

thank you... and it's still getting better

for anyone interested,heres a lil train clip

it's not super impressive, but uts up to the quality that nintendo used on the ships... and remember, i scripted all this!

[Jason]

Drats, I cant open the attachments, do you mind email it to me at Dajason@gmail.com so I can upload to my host?

[firemaster]

tommarow... its kinda big and i have 56k

(1.5 meg)

[EVA02]

[Jason]

[EVA02]

Heh, nice scripts, you will be one best scripter for the romhacking community...

[Sarck45]

the zip with the train demo don't work to me :(

[EVA02]

if its like a thing that doesnt work like wen a thing goes to a wite thing or some thing after u do the save as thing put .zip on to the end

[shrty55]

This hack rules but i got kinda disapointed when i beat the first gym and couldnt go anywhere else. Were do you go to the next town at?

[Jason]

The route to the north si block off and remember beta 2 is a makeover.

[Sçîxzor]

I like Dirt Brown,Because the story is much different that any other cause it talks about orphans and stuff by that style,And i like it cause FM is replacing scripts,and that is very good because the scripts and story is what REALLY MAKES the hack.
but i think it needs a good title screen by now.

[firemaster]

yes it does, i dont have time to do it, do you wanna? that is if you know how... i got scripting thats bogging me down...

[Cool Cr@cker]

This hack is pretty good Firemaster...Very Decent first beta.I and my bro enjoyed it!
Waitin for one more!!!What train script were you talkin about!

[firemaster]

the train script controls the train event, and controls what destinations are available, based on what tickets you have.

[Cool Cr@cker]

I'm sorry but where is there a train in R/S IT's there only in G/S or r u talkin about the Cable car!

[Spectrum]

Is this a new type of n00bfulness? Asking him to PM you? He has enough to do without going through the thread seeing who wants it, you can just come back and get it yourself. O_o;;

Also, the train was made by him.

Excellent work! It looks great. Can't wait for the Mudkip event. :P

[firemaster]

I'm sorry but where is there a train in R/S IT's there only in G/S or r u talkin about the Cable car!

[Jason]

So...welcome back anyways!

[EVA02]

[Jason]

Congulations Firemaster!

Your hack, Dirt Brown has won the Highly Recommended Hack Award for November 2004.

[KoBRe LaiR]

Firemaster, after all your hard work, you are getting some recognition, you know why? Guess! *gives time* Too late! Because Pokemon Dirt Brown has received "Highly Recommended" for the month of November! This thread will be stickied one full month.
Enjoy it :D

*Thread Stickied*

[RainbowIslands]

congradulations!!! *shake hands* are there ay new things changed? or time about the beta 2?

[DaRkCaT21]

Mmmmmmmmmm Looks!! Great, I can't download the train demo!!

[mewthree9000]

This hack is the greatist i've seen ever :surprised 10/10! Bravo! Bravo!

[Get-Low]

yeh,dirt brown is nice but dont you think you went too far with the orphans cloth? Anyways the hack is pretty nice :D
I give it a 9/10 ;) it can have more improving.

[firemaster]

this is funny. My computer crashed the day before i got hack of the month, so i disnt even know until today. Well, i have a computer again so work will continue. 5 gyms done so far, 3 more in the works. Then some more cool junk at the end

[EVA-01]

LOL, thats why u havent updated in ages....

[firemaster]

Well, you guys have been itching to test it, i can tell.

5 gyms are done. Please please report any bugs.

Oh yea, this is a beta. So dont expect to download the next version and pick up where you left off...

The following are not bugs, they are ther for ease of testing:
-you start with a high level pokemon. I did this for my sake so i could test it without having to put effort into it :laugh:
if you want a challenge, catch a low level guy asap and release the level 98 guy...
-There is a guy in the same town as the train. He is on the streets. He will sell you the train tickets for $0 This is so you can test the train feature. The maps arent done yet, so the train doesnt actually go anywhere. Inorder to not give away my plans, the train guy reffers to the towns as town1 and town2

THE BETA ENDS IN THE PLACE IN THE SS. A TUNNEL WILL BE THERE WHEN THE GAME IS DONE. IM POSTING THE PIC WITH THE TUNNEL...

[firemaster]

This hack is the greatist i've seen ever :surprised 10/10! Bravo! Bravo!

coming from someone like you, that really means alot. Thanks! Makes it all worth it...

[Jason]

Awesomely rad, thank you Firemaster!

[kybldmstr]

i cant play this.this is a .php file and i dont haeve anyhting for that.do you have an .ips file?this is great and id really liked to play it.i played your first beta it was awesome.i hope you do well continue the good work!:D

[firemaster]

i cant play this.this is a .php file and i dont haeve anyhting for that.do you have an .ips file?this is great and id really liked to play it.i played your first beta it was awesome.i hope you do well continue the good work!:D


ummm..... its a .zip with a .ips in it....

[Jason]

Here is my review on your Dirt Brown hack.

Getting off da train. Nice train design ya got there. Rad rad.

Warp to the orphanage? lol, Very good idea :P

A level 98 Pidgey? Wowzers, I know you used for a test purpose but I love having challenge so i will do challenge stuff in final version.

Beating the first gym, Having the Double team TM is just pretty a good choice.

Going onto the shoreline... The name is pretty cool. DOn't forget that the name is pretty good for an orphage. Rad rad.

Now heading off to the forest...

Raining forest is such great idea, Really liked it. None forests in reallife is really rainy O.o

Passing the forest reststop... Still wandering around in the forest. Fighing these trainers. Very good trainers pokemon selections and wild pokemon selections. Loved it alot.

Facing a trainer in blue after a long wandering about in the forest...

That orphan Erin is just weaker than the Lass I faced before. Bleh.

Defeating the trainer, I now get out of the raining forest...the foothills at last :D

Grandparents teaching the grandson is such a wonderful ideas. Loved it :3

Noticed a gym on the foothills, Decided to take out the gymleader.

The gym is in fog mode? Rad rad.

Flamethrower as a TM? That is really a sweet thing to do! Me loves it.

Trying to talk to that dude but I cant get a bike yet. ****!

Now into the dark Clearwater....

The train is there! But I dont want to try it :P

Another Gym? Heh

Defeated the Dark gym, Saw Erin again...

Getting into the west part of clearwater... Oooh a Mudkip!

Gotta catch that Mudkip

Got that mad mudkip... Wonder where are the other starters are?

An Energy guru disgusing as a Team Magma selling tickets? This gotta be fixed.

Bought all tickets :P

There is a ferry. Wonder where it goes to.

The normal contest hall in it :D Better than Hyper rank as first one to see...

The department store is in the area. Wow :D

Gotta explore the department store.

Stay tuned for part 2.

[firemaster]

thanks for the review, that was fast.
That magma/guru guys... yea... its for testing... oh well....

[Jason]

Here is part two, buddy :)

Having stones, rare candies and a few others in the store is great. I think you have missed the Sun and Moon stones? Heh.

A person selling bucketloads of berries? rad rad. When I got these 12 sprites, mind I have the rom so I will try and put in the twelve Battle-e berries? Your hack ideas seems to get 100x better than Pokemon battle Challenge ^o^

Herb guy.. These three things aint considered as herb but they do like herbs but no bitter taste... :P

Advancing to 4th floor, Why a few TMs? Hmm...

5th. So many secret bases decorations. Woonder where are they?

Having scarves for sell is FABOLOUS! I would have trouble thinking up ideas without you O.o

tHE VENDING machines as usual on rooftop. You seems to miss out tables and chairs as well as alot of RS unobtainable decortations and these from Slateport market...

Now, I talked to the bike person again and got a bike now. Good.

Went through the gatehouse...

On the mountains like area, theres a mistake. you need to move that rock a bit to the left. Screenshot attached.

Now in the small town, and tookn out the gym leader.

Where is da tunnel? O.o

I decided to take a walk around and *gasp* found Treecko...

PokeBall Go!

Treecko is caught ^o^

Hmm.. wonder what I am going to do right now O.o

I will rate the hack based on the orginality, etc.

A whoopy ten out of ten. Awesome job, I was really suprised that your hack turned out much better than my ideas for PBC.

I cant wait until the next patch will be out that will let me go furthur on my quest, such as geting all of the starters and maybe legendaries :3

Forgot to say, you said the player can go to 5 gyms but I only defeated 4.

[firemaster]

thanks for the review, that was fast.
That magma/guru guys... yea... its for testing... oh well....

D'oh... 4 it is.... i have 5 on the version that im workin on. But i bloacked it oof since that towns nowhere near done. Better move that rock, thanks

[Jason]

Ermm.. Found some more problems. These stuff on Route 118...

[Pichu1]

when i patch your rom to both a clean rom or one thats not a clean one the screen gos white so i cant play it :(

[Jason]

patch it to a clean Ruby rom. i think u better download a new one.

[Pichu1]

yay its working this is so cool far better than the first beta

yay i got me a marshtomp!!!!!
its such a fun game and like jason said your hack your hack idea is 100 times better then battle challenge

[kybldmstr]

ok i got it workikng like a few minutes after you posted so i forgot to post bakc.yea the betas awesome.you made some cool sprites and i kept the little pidgey.but i think you should make the sprite you have for the rival like when you fight the girl at that one place after you get the first badge as the main sprite for the girl.you should also make a new guy sprite so you can like look like an orphan.its just a suggestion.

[firemaster]

the guy and girl will both eventually have custom sprites.

That girl will be there whether you a boy or a girl. There may be a reoccuring guy too, havent decided yet.

[Jason]

Mmmhmm...!

You almost gonna hit 200...

I liked the choice of having new trainers.

Mind I have a cameo somewhere?

[firemaster]

You want to be a trainer or a guide or what? Maby the gatekeeper to *censored* CITY... gimmie an idea and maby i will work you in. If i cnt make it flow with the plot, then i wont do it. Plot is key.

If you were old, i would make you the prophet, but nope.... not many 90 year old pokemon players...

haha... not giving away my plan....

[Jason]

well dude, i can insert thee 12 exclusive battle-e berries in your hack if you like.

i can be hiding somewhere, only appear after you defeat the final boss in the storyline, i will be there to give out rare berries for sale.

[firemaster]

Pardon my noobishness, but what are the battle-e berries?

Ahh yes, eccentric and reclusive berry maniac.... good idea!

[Jason]

You know, the eggant, chilian berries? for more info can be found at serebii.net's berrydex.

[firemaster]

oh yea... ppl, dont get ideas that yer all gonna get into this game.

Jason's my BattleChallenge Gangsta' :laugh:

notable ppl have a better chance.

[Jason]

LOL, I cant wait for more screenshot, as usual.

[Xeno Scizor]

Firemaster, when i played the first beta i was already stunned, but now... OMG this hack is freacking AWESOME, better than any Ruby hack i've EVER played. I don't understand how you made it possible to make it like this but, WOW. ^^;;

I must say, this hack goes in my list of honour. lol

*continues to play*

[Claire]

Firemaster, you double posted twice within this thread.
Stop double posting just to revive the thread.

[KoBRe LaiR]

Well... double postings are still not allowed, the reviving of a thread that is either MC or HR, is allowed, Sato's rules :D

[Han-Wen]

Man...this hack is just SO awsome! >< Luv the train. hehe great selection of pkmn in the forest. And great department store. Keep it up!

P.S. There's something I don't get....how do you get the bike?

EDIT: never mind...i got it

[firemaster]

*goes to creat alias so i can double post all i want*

(no, not really...)

i kinda realized that there are no girl hikers... well... i fixed that... on to the mountains!

I think they fit the hiker theme nicely... 'cept there not fat, but thats ok cuz fat people take longer to draw :laugh:

[Jason]

That female hiker looks like a total wimp. Make her fatter and it will be better.

[firemaster]

i really cant draw fat people... All my girl sprites end up looking the same... (surprisingly non-ulgy, considering my noobliness) d'oh!

Speaking of sprites, i got new player sprites going.... i might post 'em tonight....

EDIT: Im pleased to hear that ya'll are enjoying my hard work on the train. Perhaps you will be able to ride it somewhere good soon, eh?

EDIT: Here they are. Possible player sprites. Not confirmed, just potential

and if you say that girls not cute *shakes fist*

[kybldmstr]

oh ok then well keep up the good work firemasta.this hack is awesome.cant wait for the full release whenever that is.once again keep it up!:D

[Xeno Scizor]

And one thing, whats that snowy area with that cave you cannot enter in the game?

Is it something for the next beta? :p

Well, i didn't play with the lv. 98 pidgey, i trained wild Pokémon. I have a lv. 40 Team now haha.

[Han-Wen]

Don't make the female hiker fat, just make her less skinny, and more "rough", cos they've probably been hiking alot, and have adapted to the "wild".

EDIT: Also, make her not cross her legs. It looks weird. Sorry if I'm over-critical, but I just am :P

good call about the legs, didnt notice how odd it looked.
To be honest, spriting is by far my waek point.
EDIT: Apparently, so is spelling



What do ya'll think of the player sprites?

[Han-Wen]

yea...they're pretty good overall, but I think the bottom of the boy's hair should be higher, or in other words, not that much hair. Just my thought.

[firemaster]

hmm.... even my hair is longer than that...

its kinda hard to draw good looking hair tho... the girls took me 15 mins and probably the same for the guy. Maby i can shorten it up and spike it a bit... ya know... anime style


about that snowy mountain peak area... good place for arcticuno ya'll think?

I just cant see putting him in a cave like the old games did.... he belongs on a mountain!




EDIT: Got the new girl in the game! woo hoo!

[Jason]

I like the main character sprites.

snowy areas is perfect for articuno...

[KoBRe LaiR]

Wow! That female trainer is Sexy! woot!!! lol ;)

[firemaster]

Wow! That female trainer is Sexy! woot!!! lol ;)

heh.. thanks... i am the man!

speaking of man, heres the guy...


EDIT: Attached new pic of guy, gal, and fixed hiker girl (2 pixels fatter, 1 pixel bigger arms, no crossed legs)
Overworld sprites arent in game yet, but there few enough colors that they can be used. Yay!

[Jason]

i guess you need to give the girl player some extra huge b00bs.

[firemaster]

i guess you need to give the girl player some extra huge b00bs.


*scratches head*

[BigBoss]

The female trainer is sexy! XD This hack is coming along great!

[firemaster]

any thaughts on the overworld sprites?

[Jason]

pretty good. Liked it alot but are you making the girls breasts really big? Bigger than your circumference of your skull

[firemaster]

*scratches head again*

i cant tell if your suggesting something, just being wierd, or complaining that there too big...

well... every girl sprite i do ends up looking the same anyways, so im a bit confused that they dont all make you all wierd.

You nervous being around her or something? :laugh:


EDIT: New sig.... LOL... chek it out...

[Goatman56]

nice thats cool nice trainer sprites and that girl things funny

[Jason]

*laughs*

That qoute in your sig is funny.

I liked your sig :P

[firemaster]

quiet you IMG tag literate nerd!

[EVA-01]

dont go offtopic please ;)

[Han-Wen]

Sorry for bein such a critic :P, but the hiker girl is still sorta weird. The top half of her body looks like its viewed diagonally, which is good, but the bottom half looks like its viewed side on (if u get wat i mean...)! With ur permission, can I work on her sprite a little bit? Just to change the legs...?
The boy and girl hero look really good!

[firemaster]

sure. if you dont like the legs, go ahead and change 'em

you cant use any colors that arent already in the sprite tho.
If i like it i'll use it.
Ill give you credit... somewhere....

[Han-Wen]

Here....its not really good (I mean...I'm not much better of a spriter than you are...I'm just a critic :P), but mainly, I just changed her hips and shoes to face the same direction as the top half of her body. Also, I made her walking stick longer and made the bottom of it more "rounded". If you use it, you'll have to touch up on her shoes a bit i think...ah well...its 1:00 a.m. so my brain's not functioning that well so I didn't do much. I hope u use it(at least touch up on it), but it's all right if you don't.

[firemaster]

i like the postitioning. I'll probably use mine though and just alter the positioning. Thanks for the inspiration.

[Xeno Scizor]

Her legs are so long that it's wierd... lol.

I'm sorry Han-Wen, but i think they are a bit too long ^^;;

[firemaster]

Click here for something sweet:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=659514#post659514

potential addition to my hack. The world will be mine!!!!

Post comments there, not here. Or else this thread will get totally swamped...

[webduelist]

well any ways when u come around the been to foothills i think it was u can see the bikers ect u removed from the rought

[firemaster]

kk. Thx

I will remove them totally in the final, but i kept 'em there for now incase i need to use them for something.

[Han-Wen]

firemaster: no probs, just use ur one and adjust it...i'm real bad at spriting :P

Xeno: now that u mention it....yeah the do look long...but then i did it after midnight X( so I probably just didn't notice...

[firemaster]

the wheather system isnt fully done yet, but here's a pic of what is working....

forgive mays sprite, i took these SS's before i gut the new sprite in....

[Jason]

the wheather system isnt fully done yet, but here's a pic of what is working....

forgive mays sprite, i took these SS's before i gut the new sprite in....AWESOMELY RAD!!! Keep it up Firemaster!

[firemaster]

i got mad HW. I really hope it doesnt come to this, but it could be 2 weeks w/o hacking.... NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

when the weather is done, it will be good. Too good.
*sharpens stick to fend off requests for me giving out the script*
(heh.... i'll do it if i have time to explain it all....)

[Han-Wen]

*stares at both screens in awe and becomes speechless*
wow.


You even got a puddle in there only during rainy days! That is soooo cool!
Oh yeah, why aren't u having any trainers other than they gym leader in the gyms?

[firemaster]

*stares at both screens in awe and becomes speechless*
wow.

hmm..... good question. It always kinda annoyed me but i guess i can add 'em easy enough....

[.::t w i l i g h t::.]

Hi! I think your hack is awesome! No offense but, the trainer sprites need work... oh, what am I saying! I'm no professional.. anyway, The reason I posted is to show you I did a little work on the hiker sprite. I adjusted her arms and legs, and the shirt was a bit low, so I brought it up a bit. Also, the shape of her breast was a little off, so I fixed that too. I hope it's okay. Here it is:

[firemaster]

no offense, but mine is better. The arms look strange, posing is akward.

how many colors is that anyways?

Some trainers will get touched up. The hiker will look like this (i may repose arms and legs slightly):

[Jason]

Your latest female hiker looks great now, its now exactly I pictured her :P

`

[squirtleman21]

Have a Look at this. It's in the corner. A bunch of evil Green Party members.
I thought they were the team magma or team aqua people.

[Han-Wen]

yeah i found them too...they're probably in the next part of the game or something...

[Xeno Scizor]

No, their people that FM isn't using, but he keeps 'em there for if he would need an extra character. Instead of Deleting them. I think ^^;;

[Han-Wen]

hmm...but why doesn't he just delete them then?

[Xeno Scizor]

Because he might be able to use them in the future...

better take the sure, for then unsure.

[firemaster]

if i delete them i have more work to get them back. I'll get rid on any extras for the final vesion.

[Pichu1]

for some reson the startingpidgey is lvl 98!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Orochi Breakwing]

Jeez, you payin attention? He said he did that to make it effortless to check for bugs (or something similar, I remember the uber Pidgey making SOMETHING effortless...)

Great stuff! When can we all expect a finished version?

[Jason]

Final version is sometimes enxt year so please be patient!

[webduelist]

hey firemaster this hack needs some sourt of villen well there is a fire and a water what about grass lol well this needs some sort of villin or its going to be betten to qwickly

[Han-Wen]

Pichu1: read the 1st post of this thread. And don't complain if u have a lvl 98 pidgey! It's to your advantage :):P

[Aisu K.]

:( I don't know how to say this. No offense, but the weather thingy looks quite...


AWESOME!!!!:D

I wish I could script like you *then maybe putting Mew, Lapras, and Ho-Oh in my hack won't be so hard* Ahem. Did I say that out loud?

Anyhoo... Keep up the good work!

[firemaster]

note to self: no lv 98 pidgeys...

anyways, i posted a minor update in my weather thread.... got the rain working and stuff, but puddles arent showing up right.... oh well.... time should fix that....

[Han-Wen]

Why no lvl 98's?

Anyways, I thought the demo was cool! :) Not rushing you or anything, but have u scheduled an approximate time for the next beta?

[firemaster]

i have no idea. I've gotten quite a bit done, but i dont know when i'll release it...




TRALALALALALALALA.....

here is a vid for ya'll. It's mad compressed, and im in the progress of redoing part of the forest, so it just looks like an empty field....

http://www.pokecommunity.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13021

anyways, enjoy!

P.S. Pay special attention to the puddles :D

[firemaster]

watch and enjoy!

Ditched rubys old, glitchy berry system. You gotta see the scripting that went into this...

Oh yea, and now theres another way to fish.You can sti cast, but now you can drop a line off a bridge or cliff. Check it!

i went mad with scripting....

[Cambria]

Always impressive to see your work in action, man you are making so many firsts in the hacking world, very cool, keep it up, I'll die if this hack is left unfinished. And you don't want that on your conscience do you?

[Han-Wen]

OMG that fishing/jigging and the berry thing are so cool! I watched the movie like 5 times in a row before stopping!

[Pichu1]

firemaster by the way this i one of the best hacks ive ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Legendary MasterX]

I can't wait until the next beta comes out!

[smithy.boy]

sounds good people, im here to keep this amazing hack alive.
wooohooo go firemaster

[firemaster]

just came to say im still alive.

I usually work on this for a month and do my other top secret project for a month. Thats why i havent updated alot for a lil while.

[Aisu K.]

I cannot wait until this is done!!! Anymore intense scripts here we should know about?

[Brittany]

Just came in to say, this hack is sweet.
*leaves*
:P

[The Kraig]

This has had awesome progress since the last time I visited, great work. I've busy playing the current beta right now, again, awesome. :)

[Cambria]

Any updates? Please don't give up on this one! This is the best hack I've ever seen :D

[Han-Wen]

just came to say im still alive.

I usually work on this for a month and do my other top secret project for a month. Thats why i havent updated alot for a lil while.
He hasn't given up yet. Obviously, he's working on his top secret project.

[blueguy]

Well, I suppose I'll post now, since I absolutely love this! The idea is great! And the screenshots look wonderful! Keep on trucking, as they say. ;)

[firemaster]

Well, im back again....

Like i said earler, i do this for a month and then i work on something else for a month.


...think its been more than a month, but im back at it again.


Recent changes include adding the weather cycles to more towns (was just in the first few until recent work was done).

That took alot of time, weather scripting is confusing....

Anyways, be sure to check back soon.


oh, BTW, i got the first cave so it is also affected by weather. If its humid elsewhere (rainy) it will be foggy in the cave....

I wasted alot of time trying to get weather to work in the town of clearwater, only to realizei had the offset off by one.... d'oh!


also, somewhere along the way i messed up the guy that gives you yer starter. Im gonna take it as a posative and try and make the replacement cooler and slicker than before....


Well, thats my update, rock on
-firemaster

[* Jade *]

Wow, you are back. Can't wait for more progress on other things with Dirt Brown.

[xantor]

DirtBrown is on my "Hack of Fame" list. This is totally amazing can't wait for next demo.

[Treecko Fan 12]

This hack is so cool. All the things in this hack are what I've wanted from Pokemon games. Finally my dreams will come true ^_^. How long until the next beta?

[Berino]

what programme do u use to play the beta and where can i get it

[firemaster]

NEW BETA AS OF TODAY!!!!
YOU CAN FEEL THE LEETNESS OF REALISTIC WEATHER
TRY FISHING THE NEW WAY!
CHECK OUT THE NEW BERRY STSTEM, REPLACING THE OLD GLITCHY ONE FROM RUBY

feedback requested! Its a beta for testing! that means if you find a bug tell me please!
Also, comments on weather, jig-fishing, and berry picking are wanted!


The beta is here: for RUBY! http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=14779&page=1&pp=25

the first post has all the info!

You need an emulator such as Visual Boy advance to play. Please take questions like that to another thread, this is not the place

[blueguy]

I have some feedback. For some reason whenever I load your beta the screen just goes white. Why is this?

[BigBoss]

Nice beta.... I really like your hack, good job! =) Oh as for the screen going white, there is this option in the options menu you can change to fix that. *doesn't remember*

[firemaster]

I have some feedback. For some reason whenever I load your beta the screen just goes white. Why is this?

did you patch it over a FRESH ruby rom?

does your emulator work?

is your emulator in paused mode?

try pressing the a and b buttons....it does pause at a black screen and you have to press a or b.

[Anthony La]

Just tried it. It's excellent, but what I really like is your scripting. The beta is so well done. Good job! In fact, here's uber hack march 05. ^_^

[Enix-Zae]

hmm, mine freezes at the white screen too, maybe its the rom i patched it to :S.


GAH! UBER?

[Treecko Fan 12]

Does the beta end at that place that's the big field. And by the way, I walked into a building at the forest rest stop, then walked out and I was at Clearwater Gym. Freaky.

[firemaster]

Im gonna download a fresh ROM and patch it to that.

Perhaps my fresh rom was damaged....

[firemaster]

ok, from now on can you guys tell me what emulator you are using?

maybe VisualBoy Advance is just the only good one.. hehe

[KiraYamato]

Well either I'm blind or its not there... because all I see on the first post attached is pictures, no file. I'd love to play the beta but I really dont see the link.

[Han-Wen]

Congrats on the "uber" topic title firemaster! Ya really earned it!

Played the beta, and it was great! Total 1337ness and pwnage

I finished the game with: A Rattata, a Pikachu, and a shiny (GASP!!!!) Pidgey
Note: I did NOT use any cheat device of any sort for the shiny Pidgey. It just came up unexpectedly while I was looking for a Pikachu.

Some suggestions:
- Lvl 5 starter instead of lvl 3
- It was a bit hard to train for the gym, since there wasn't much trainers.
- Put some more trainers on the beach and in the forest (closer to Dirtmud Town).
- Also, you might have to block the entrance to the 2nd gym until the 1st gym is finished.
- Gym trainers!!!! And make the gym bigger, if you will...

btw, the fence was on Route 116, not the 2nd city.

[Cool Cr@cker]

Oooh!Congrats FM for Taking the uber from me. J/K Congrats.
Anyway The beta looks yummy, I'm going to try it out.

Hey Do you have MSN - Kira Check the first post for a beta.

~ CC

[firemaster]

hehe... thanks guys


yer not suppose to be able to get to gym 2... i accidentally messud up the warps in the east forest (AKA. rest stop)

well, thats why its a beta...


anyways, here are some more screenies for you guys!
the juicemaker was harder to script that it would seem.... still easy y comparison though....

[EVA-01]

Awesome dude!! Omfg, I suck at scripts >.>; I'm sure the berry fans will love this

just one more screenie....


shows a bit of what i've been doing lately (wasted alot of time correcting text errors... grrrr....)

anyways, check out the new overworld sprite for the guy! Finally... lol

in the BG you will see a few other things.... you'll notice a 1 squere wide path, which is new, but was only 2 simple tileset edits...

And also new are the swamp tiles. Basically just wet grass, but meh... I think you guys will find it cool enough...

The location is the NEW clearwater swamp, btw. I figured i'd make it into a proper terrain type, with a tweaked tileset and all....



BTW, the swamp has proper grass move animations and all, and you can find pokemon in the grass too. im just contemplating adding a deeper part of the swamp to fish in.... dont know who i'd put in there though....

Looks very well done. I like the idea of the swampish water. ;) How is it you imported your own tiles anyways? I've been dying to know how to do that.

All you do is run elite map and use the tile thing (ctrl+click on tile in side window)

then you can mix the 8 components (2x2 top + 2x2 bottom)

I just used ms paint to copy the standard grass tile and paste it in another spot. Then i removed the BG so it would be transparent instead of green. Then i inserted, but it was too big so i repointed too. Then i just placed my new clear ones over the plain blue water tiles, and some edge tiles that were already there.

Took all of about 15 mins, most was just tedoiusly entering the tile compontes into elite map...
(2x2bottom-water or dirt+2x2 top grass)*13 tiles takes awhile when you have to write everything down and enter it in again and again....

the skinny road took like 30 secs.... I love the effect though... best 30 secs of editing ever.....
