FireRed hack: [HotM October 2009] Pokémon ToxicPurple (Team Rocket hack)

[Surf]

Anything that you want me to script?
Sorry I didn't get back to you with the patch I had a busy week and then just totally forgot.
The overworlds look nice by the way.

Thank you! I worked hard on the OWs.

No, I don't think I've got anything that needs scripting right now. Actually, I've started to figure out scripting myself, so I might not need a lot of scripting until I start to get really busy. I've even got a long list of flags I'm going to be using, heh. Am I right in thinking that flags 200-299 are free? Do you know where there are any other free flags in FireRed?

 

[BrainDamage]

I (and many others) followed rocket's revenge from its creation up until EarthsVisitor had to abandon the project. I hope to see the completion of this project one day. Organizing a group of people to use their free time (that could easily be interfered with, and therefore slowing/ceasing production) to work toward a large goal is no small feat. I wish you the best of luck

All those codes are used by the game so you can use any you can't see there.
It goes to like 1200 or something

 

[darkmewham2]

Unfortunately, I've already played a game like this... -.-;;'
(Except all it was was playing as Jessie or James, having to choose between Meowth, Koffing, and Ekans, and every time your rival said gramps it said " dad". -.- Yes, with the spaces... I mean they could up put father and *graaagh*

*Sees that there is a STORY!*

Oh yes, thank you. :D My anger is settled now... :3 It actually sounds really interesting.

Thank you very much. I hope and fully intend to see this through to the end. Even though it won't be much (if at all) like Rocket's Revenge, I hope it will be a good Team Rocket game anyway.

Ah, thank you. So, 200-299 are completely taken, huh... good to know. I must've misread something at some point.

Yeah, I know there are other Rocket-centric games out there. From the description, it sounds like you're talking about Team Rocket Edition, a hack of Red? Even if other Rocket-centric hacks exist, I figure there's still room for more. Canon has gone through four generations of twerps-beat-evil-Team storylines without running out of new twists; I figure there's enough room in the world for a few more evil-Team-beats-twerps storylines without getting redundant. Glad you think mine sounds interesting!

Generally, you should use all flags 1000+. At least, that's HackMew's advice to everybody.

But, y'know, this sounds totally epic. I'd love to help with anything and everything you need; and if you have a question, go ahead and ask. I'm pretty sure I know something that Mac_Mini doesn't know xD

Soz I'm here 97% percent of the time. Go ahead and VM me if/when you need help.

Okay, all flags 1000+. Do you know what the upper limit to that is? Right now, I'm working on deciding what flags will go with every major event, so it'd be nice to know how many I have to work with. (I need to know all the flags because, even at the very beginning, I've got some sprites whose dialogue will change multiple times over the course of the story--one who just talks to you, then after a certain event will battle with you, then after the battle will do a trade with you, and finally will disappear after a completely unrelated event.) I'll already need almost 90 flags, which will take me up through Kanto, the timeskip, and the first major couple of events in Johto. And that's not counting flags for small, side things.

 

[Vallander]

wow this sounds amazing! this would definitely be harder than most pokemon games especially with no healing at centers and such.

i wish you serious good luck on this! cant wait to play it!

 

[Surf]

200+ is fine to use
Hackmew just recommends that you use 1000+ because most of the events in the game take them up

 

[EarthsVisitor]

Glad to see I've inspired more people.
Watch out for Rocket's Revenge's return folks. :P

Best of luck.

 

[Vrai]

The upper limit would happen to be FFFF, I believe.

Note that the flag numbers are hexadecimal, so they'd go 0x1000, 0x1001, 0x1002..0x1009, 0x100A, 0x100B, etc.

Okay. So that's... about 65,000 flags total in the game. Wow. Okay, I doubt very many have already been used, heh. Thanks!

Update! There are now screenshots in the first post. None terribly exciting, but still. And if anyone wants to see the full interior of the Hidden Saffron Rocket Base, I've got a map in this thread. It's currently in the next-to-bottom post on that page.

... In case there are any concerns, you won't be stuck with that starter for long.

This actually should be in the Progressing Hacks board. :)

I've always wanted to play a Rocket version ever since that Rocket recruiter on nugget bridge asked Red if he wanted to join...stupid game devs made the choice for me though.

I'm actually planning on making a Rocket Hack of my own, although it's different from yours.

I can help you if you like, although I should warn you, I'm still a newbie at making scripts and mapping and whatnot (although that isn't to say that I can't do any of that. :D).

If you need help with game design, ideas, storyline writing, I can help you there. If there is one thing that I am very good at, it is writing.

PM me if you're interested in my help. :)

Good luck, and well done on what you have made thus far. :)

 

[ckret2]

Yeah... now that it's got screenshots, it's legally eligible for the Progressing Hacks board, but I feel like I haven't gotten enough work done on it yet to justify putting it in Progressing Hacks. When I finish the first "badge"-type event (the killing of Marowak) I'll start up a Progressing Hacks thread then.

I've always wanted to play a Rocket version ever since that Rocket recruiter on nugget bridge asked Red if he wanted to join...stupid game devs made the choice for me though.

Heh, the bridge recruiter comes up a couple of times in the game. The beginning "In the world you are about to enter..." text is replaced by dialogue from the recruiter: "By the way, how would you like to join TEAM ROCKET? We're a group of professional criminals specializing in POKÉMON! Want to join? ... You do? You mean it?! Great! Welcome to TEAM ROCKET!" etc. Unfortunately I haven't found a tool yet that lets you edit that opening sequence, and no tutorials on how to do it.

Yay for more Rocket hacks. Variety is always a good thing. Right now I'm pretty much working on the hack myself, but wouldn't mind some help with the writing. (Writing is my forte too, but when you need to do dialogue for every sprite in the game, it can get a little tedious, heh.) I'll PM you about what I've got so far.

 

[machomuu]

A-Text edits the opening text, so there's an idea...no it's not an idea, it's a must.

 

[Kaylee Krysteenah Fynch]

*is interested* Wow, now I want to play this... just out of randomness... X3
Oh well. Good luck on it! Seems pretty cool. I tried playing Rocket's Revenge, but... couldn't beat the first gym... and gave up... Hope the level difference in this game isn't that horrid. DX

 

[ckret2]

Great, thanks! I thought A-Text was just another general scripting tool, like XSE. Shows what I know, heh. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks, glad you're interested! I'm gonna try to keep the levels reasonable. Probably going to be slightly more challenging than canon games; but this is a hack that's going to be played out across two regions and a time gap of three years, so I couldn't have ten-level jumps between each "badge"-equivalent event even if I wanted to. I'd run out of levels pretty fast, heh.

 

[Disturbed]

It's nice to see a hack in the scrap box where the creator actually knows what the hell he/she is doing. The ideas you have are works of art, and I hope to see them all implemented. I would be fine with helping in any way. (Preferably mapping ;))
Best of Luck!

Thank you very much! Mapping would be helpful, actually, since I'm gonna have to remake Johto (or most of it) eventually. Since that'll mostly be copying from G/S/C, it's more time-consuming than anything else.

And, do you have much experience making caves? I'm adding another basement level connecting Mt. Moon to Cerulean Cave (because Mewtwo thinks it's funny to open a gaping pit underneath the player's feet), but my caves are rather ugly.

By the way, for anyone that's interested, the intro "In the world you are about to enter..." text has been edited. As has been Nurse Joy's all-your-Pokémon-fainted speech. Forget "We hope you excel!" Henceforth, you can expect "Back to work, you. The BOSS doesn't pay us to gossip."

(I also changed that "The various buttons will be explained..." text, because seriously, everyone here knows how to use the buttons, so may as well do something more interesting with that space. Like discuss treasure hunting and explain the origin of Engrish.)
