Pokémon Shiny Gold!

[Lady Berlitz]

The new thread looks great. I hope Shiny Gold becomes a much greater game over the days. Is there any way I can help to make additions? I can do anything, make banners, sprite (anything), script, etc.

[jj_olli]

Zel, these trees, they're AWESOME, and the grass, it looks really grassy. xD. Have fun while hacking ;D!

Did you look on the first post FAQ? That should be explained there. Also, look at Hiroshi's thread

[dipset4ever]

Can you stop spamming?? Ask someone in a PM Cuboney.

BTW Zel, This has gone a LONG WAY, I remember it was almost a whole year ago that you started this. I doubted that you were going to get far,I said, He will probably stop around Golden Rod or Olivine city but BOY WAS I WRONG! The last Beta I played stopped at Radio Tower after you beat team rocket. The game is amazing Zel. Im saving myself the fun until you complete the whole game.

Hey Zel, I've been screwing around with beta 4 and went through the game and found a interesting bug (which is actually very benefical)


From Ekcruteak, if you go to Mahogany town first, Amelia will be there and if you talk to her, she'll know who you are and whatever and give you the items.

But, that's not the bug.

She says I got to go, but doesn't go away!

She stays there and you can keep getting as much items as you want.

So anyway, that's what I'm saying and I can't wait for the game to be complete!

This is going to be my shiny gold team when your done with it:

Meganium
Red Gyrados
Ho-oh
Pidgeot
Espeon
Gengar

w00t nice job dude.

What are you talking about, some parts maybe, put it actually does have some FG/LG sound remixes in it.

Same with the Celebi event, I go into union cave but nothing happens and Kurt doesn't react to the GS Ball at all.

Great hack so far.

Well for the boat, you have to go to sleep before the boat gets there.

BTW hows the sprite coming?

How's the sprite coming? Well, I recently talked with Marnic, and he's a bit busy. Though he has made a few more pokemon sprites and fixed the new heroes' overworlds. I need to see them yet.

Anyways, huge congratulations on having re-done the entire thread, and by the looks of it, it should keep out at the very least half of those spammers out, but there's always going to be people not having the time to (or so they think) read the first post.

I realized that that banner I posted up in the last thread is actually pretty bad, so I'll probably be working on a better one, because I really want you to replace that one...

Anyways, good luck zel, I'm rooting for you and SG 100%! Although, take your time, because the longer you take, the better it'll be, eh? ;D

[Business talk]

Zel, those new palettes you got in there look stunning. They're not too off with your custom dark-green palette that basically goes through the whole outdoor game. The flowers look nice, and I see you've added in those cool little flower tiles. Are they animated, like FR's flower tile? I mean, do they move back and forth and whatnot.
Another question, have you changed the trees at all? They look different. It may just be my memory of Pokemon Eclipse's DP tileset, the trees were different than yours, but still, I can't help think that you've changed your trees, too. Let me know.

Well, go ahead and make another Banner if you want, Marz. I just happened to run into yours, and I wanted to add it (after all, the banner will be inside that Spoiler, so I will put a few more)

Those flowers (DP ripped), no, they don't have animation (there are not many tiles with animation, and the flowers that have the animation are still those red ones), I just added them to fill a bit more all the maps.

And, yes, the trees are different. They are still those DP trees, but I have reduced their sizes from every side this time, that's why it may look a little different. And, it's obvious I also changed their palettes (respecting DP's palettes, while respecting my grass palette ended up as a pretty cool combination )

BTW, those new tiles you've implemented look great! And I heard the remixed music while browsing on Youtube a few weeks ago, and it sounds pretty good. The only weird thing is that it doesn't quite fit in with the other midis in the 3rd-gen games. Even though it's remixed, they're still the sort of beeps and tones that we had to get used to hearing back in 1st and 2nd gen games... Maybe listen to the music and just entirely make a midi from scratch instead of recording the original tones and edit them a bit?

Ehhhmm... Well, birthofdna may explain the part of making the midis, I can only say that, once the midi is done, it's all about picking well the instruments and the voicegroups (that's key to avoid those weird sounds that tend to happen when you just pick a voicegroup without taking care of the instruments the midi has - They must match those in the voicegroup), but obviously, if you compare a midi and the rom sound, we have a problem. The same as if you compare the sound Nintendo makes and the one we rom hackers can insert into the game...
By the way, I'm an amateur at music insertion, but... I promise there are better sounding tracks than that one

But the little three red and white things... I don't really like it :\ And, um, did you change the main grass tile? I see a bit and it looks different...

Probably the grass looks different from the impression of comparing it and the trees together (since they use different palettes)
And the little things? Are just fillers, so it's not like they must be something amazing...

I have a few unlz numbers as well. But, since I still don't care about the ending we'll leave that for later.

This doesn't have anything to do with the thread. Sorry.

Yes, go to sleep, a few people already tested it, and after sleeping you must be able to talk with the sailor and he'll let you through.
Don't forget you need to first go to talk with Elm, then go to Kurt, and as long he's not busy, he'll take the ball.
This reminds me: don't forget I have uploaded dirk's walkthrough in the "Tourist Center" section in my first post. If you have a gameplay question check the walkthrough first.

If you want to make a banner, go ahead, I'll receive more banners. The rest is already covered, but if I need anything, I'll call for help.

That's all, by the time I finish this, there were more posts, but I can only reply to what I quoted. Remember: If I'm replying give me some time till I finish, else I could end up missing your post. Thanks!

[thethethethe]

Let me just say that Shiny Gold was the reason that I got into hacking and PC. But I found a little glitch in the game. If you haven't beaten the Cianwood Gym and come back to the olivine lighthouse and then the gym, Carlos still talks as if you have got the badge the Cianwood Gym.

[Midnight Beat]

Great, Shiny Gold is finally back!!! The new tiles look really good Zel and your new first page should really help to take care of some of the old issues. Anyway I'm glad to see that SG is back and I can't wait to see more of your progress.

[ChrisG14]

Woot, SG is back! New tiles look a little funny, but whatever.

Also, I hope Dirk doesn't mind, but I edited his walkthrough a bit to include some extra locations and other things. I just wanted to help a bit.

[Katalyst]

Yeah, SG is back and cool as ever! Keep it up, Zel!

[Barker]

Awesome, glad to have another thread for this. I'm not too far, only at Goldenrod, but I love it.

On another note.. Zel, I've been working on this for a while, I'm not too sure what you'll think about it. If you'd rather me not work on it, because of the secrets it "ruins", I'll abandon it. It only goes up to where I'm at right now (Goldenrod, again), and it's still "Version one", so it's not perfect, but..

*Shrug*

[Iceshadow1]

awesome hack zel i hope this hack goes till the end unlike other hacks im dl righto now

this has inspired me to hack now

[Momoko]

Wow,I'm really glad the thread that made me join this place came back! Good luck with the new thread,Zel and I like the video and palletes!

[Namaste]

This is an amazing hack. Keep this up.

That awesome! I like the banner a lot. Can I use it for my sig?

Edit: Zel's got it made this time 2 threads, 3 walkthroughs, and lots of supporting fans.
Edit 2: and lots of mods.

[Forest Grovyle]

yoshikiller, your post had nothing to do with the topic, as it wasn't even related to the hack. Always make sure that your posts add to the discussion at hand, otherwise they can be counted as SPAM.

--FG

[lucario290]

Hey I played this for three days and it is awsome, keep up the good work and i can wait till beta 5 comes out!

[Dr.Garchomp]

Yay! Shiny gold's getting progress again! I love this hack even though it still not finished Keep up the good work! You're a really good inspiration for me!

[Saurav]

Finally its back......

@ "ChrisG14" that walkthrough might come in handy...

@ "Zel" hope to see or hear more up coming news about SG and goodluck

This. Is. Astounding. You made this guide? It's better than any professional Pokemon guide I've ever even heard of.

Yeah, I suggest you take a look at this one, Zel. It's a colorful, professional, screenshot savvy, full-detail powerhouse. In fact, it just might be too good!

Whew.

[needhexcodehacs]

yes shiny gold is back cant w8 for the next beta
hey in the cave wher u put the gs ball dont make the stairs so long

Well you are supposed to be coming out from the ocean floor, why would they be short?

[Barker]

I reread the first post again, I like the idea of the Phone booth. It's an awesome way to include some sort of phone feature without the Pokegear available.

The site banner? Sure, I guess.

Haha, I'm flattered. It does need some work in my opinion though.
