Its a patch made with LIPS that allows you to send a ROM file without actually sending the ROM. Its illegal to distribute or share ROMs, so an ips file is the best way to go about it.

cool story bro.

yup.

check out the thread in the begginners lounge, I'm technically doing two hacks that are exactly the same just different title screens and catchable poke'mon. I'm working on a team now. I think i'll be doing a majorty of it myself, lol. I want to try and keep it simple, because i'd like to get it done, then eventually just keep adding to it.

Medium mapper. I can map alrighty, but I tend to get carried away and do weird buildings... like PokeCenters with 2 doors or stuff like that.

hey man, would you like to collaborate hacks? Kinda like we support one another?

Sorry! I'm caught up in my own zelda game project now, and I simply wouldn't have the time to do this. Good luck hacking!

Oh dear God, the hot pink is blinding :P

Yeah, I'll need the ROM before I can do anything, so just PM me the ips file and a list which Pokemon should be be in the 75 so I can get started.

Also, I was wondering if you are going to be using JPAN's hacked engine as it can really bring a lot to any game built on it.

the team thread looks great! only one thing... can you change the little charazard sprite to a lugia?

that sounds good. you can also change what he's saying to make it more like a conversation instead of him just saying info on pokemon that is useless...

it would be good but you have to remember that leveling up Pokemon at lower levels is easier.

irfanview is a image viewing/editing program that i use to convert images or resize them. (here's a link: http://www.irfanview.ca/)
PHO = Pokemon Hackers online
WAH = Whack a Hack

yeah i know that it only saves as a DIB but you can convert it to a png in irfanview.
there are a bunch of tiles on wah. and on pho.

theres an better way to get the maps. if you go in tools, there is a save map function then all you have to do is open it in irfanview and save it as a png. that way i can see the whole map. otherwise it's looking pretty good so far.

that sounds great! if you have any map done or being worked on can you show me a picture? and i can insert tiles to an extent so if you want some tiles in there i can do it for you.

I'm not sure about the size of the maps/ number of people you are expecting to have in the cities - You can have gruelling route without making a tediously long map and the number of NPC scripts required for that single city is pretty darn daunting in terms of the time needed to give each one a decent thing to say.

I bet it looks fabulous (b")b

If you feel like it would benefit more with an artist, then go for it :3

yus that iz ok

And I remember you too - I was always in awe of your CSS skills :P

Judging from your conversation with Glitch, there are only a few things that would require us to move the ROM back and forth (So long as no two people are working on the same part at the same time). I think that if we quickly establish a ROM base first we won't need to exchange over nine thousand ips files. This would be made up of the things that would drastically affect the game and take effort to reverse (e.g me changing the Pokedex) before we all set to work on our individual projects. Things like mapping, scripts and tiles can be easily sent to other member without the need of a continually changing ROM base. Eventually when we need to have a ROM with everything inserted onto it, one person can recieve any remaining uninserted maps/ scripts that others have made and insert them. This could also happen more regularly (every one or two towns) so that everyone is up to date enough to have a good basis to work from while also allowing new members to pitch in.

It would take a bit of time, but it will allow everyone to be busy rather than playing pass the parcle with a new ROM base every couple of days.

EDIT: Wow I rambled, but I'm not sure if my logic is entirely correct :/

oh, lol...
you can leave the red sprite and you can recolor it using the same template. ive done that once and it turned out pretty good. for the boy/girl thing you can have two different male over worlds instead if you wanted.

so what did he say about the map thing?
and no i dont do much pixel art... i wish i had the skill thats required for it though because im trying to do the title screen for my hack.

im not sure about that. we can send a .ips or a rom back and forth though... i would have to do some research on it.

so do you want my help for that hack?
