FireRed hack: [HotM September] Pokémon Eruption

[cooley]

*NOTE* Hello, as I promised, I would release a thread for my hack.
For those of you who have not seen Pokemon Eruption before, or ever heard of it, please read the rest of this thread.

Cheap Introduction:
I am cooley! I started off just like you new guys, confused, and full of questions. So I started with hacking Gold. Apparently I would love to return to hacking Gold someday, but after I complete this project.
If you like hacks, you'll sure like this one. I don't really brag about my hack, but I can conlude from all the feedback, that it is a good one. My hack is not just a hack, it's a collection of ideas, a big CEO survey of other hacks, and some drama from real life. Yes, I get some of my ideas from real life situations...So??

Since I've released a BETA I've been getting really good feedback from other members of PC (Aside from Bugs ). I was surprised myself, because most of the events I made, I felt I could've done better. You guys have made me feel really good about hacking, and because of that I'd love to finish this hack, and make it just as you like it, really good with a cherry on top.
[The intro could've been better, but meh]

Information on this hack

Rom base: Pokemon FireRed (U)
Started: Early 2009
State: BETA v2.1 has been released to public.


What this hack is about

Imagine yourself in Silver's shoes. Yes, Silver from the Pokemon Gold/Silver and Pokemon Chronicles. You're a fourteen-year old boy born, and raised in Johto. You used to be a bad kid, but ever since you're fight with Jimmy(also from the Gold/Silver) at age thirteen, you've changed.

Now, in that decision to change, you'd like to start over. You're mom still thinks that it's 'exciting' to get you're first Pokemon, but why wouldn't she? She loves the new you! Well, you think it would be like the Pokemon show's on TV, where everything runs smooth. But in an effort to get your first Pokemon, you discover another Evil Organization, Team Knox!

They want to control every single Pokémon in the world, to make cash, dollars, yen, euro, etc. Either way you put it, it all comes down to money. They want to make the world fear them, and by doing that they become all-powerful. You see them stealing CYNDAQUIL at Walby Cave terrace, then and there you secretly made up your mind. You want to stop them at all costs! Your goal (without being told, in-game) is to stop them from gaining control of the Legendary Pokemon on an exciting adventure with tons of scripts, jaw-dropping events, and eye teasing tiles in Pokémon Eruption!

But that's not all folks, if more of the story were to be discussed it simply wouldn't be called a story. It would be a summary.
The story is just a general idea of what happens and why some things happen. However, MOST of the story gets expained hand-in-hand with the events that take place. How's that for epic?


There's a reason why I have these Awards.

Cyndaquil Event


New Tiles and Music!


The Legend of the four Ambers!

Why isn't this working?

NOT A BUG:
Cyndaquil evolves when you receive the national dex.
This is to ensure a balanced party, rather than one lvl 40 Typhlosion and lvl 5 pidgeys.
The game was designed to play as a Male (Silver), so pick male and choose Silver as a name

Bugs:
Running shoes does not work in some areas.
Some moderate script errors
Some minor script errors
Text mispellings/grammar errors
Start Menu background error on the bottom text


Oddities:
Cyndaquil OW too big
Walby Town tileset error on entering Route 1
No Silver Running shoes frames

I am more experienced, than I was before, so if a problem occurs, i most likely can fix it.

What do you mean it doesn't look right?

Thanks, the Cyndaquil are MD sprites if you wanted to know :D

Thanks! And that pokeball(ITEM) is part of the event. Remember that I said that I will try to design them to look real, so that item is actually very small, so I didn't want it to be invisible to you

[alo123]

So cyndaquil is the starter cool i like cyndaquil
and its final evolution typhlosion

[Tropical Sunlight]

I'm talking about the stairs.
They should be 2 or 3 tiles wide. Not changing the width right in the middle.

Oh, okay. I see now. Thanks for pointing it out

[Twilite Darkrai]

Hey Cooley!
Wow, your hack is truly awesome!
I really like your style of mapping and scripting!
hohoh I really would like too see the story with a new Silver!
Good luck on this~

[Wesley FG]

The project is very interesting I like the history and of its development
but I think on the new tiles, my new improved tiles
they would be better I will show a mapeado, for you to see as they would be the combination of the tiles, with improvements in some tiles and palletas, mainly of the tree main of the project that now have a palleta much better than it combines with the soil and the mountain a worked better well.
I think would be still better the hack if you are used those.

[Shirin]

wow, your hack is very good, Pokémon Eruption! I like it, is one of the nicest FR hacks I've ever seen!! ^ ^

^ Yes, you should use that tiles of WesleyFG becuase it will look nicer. USE THEM!! xD

[ruken]

O.O

this map is very big!!!!!

you can lost in here XD

[Chimchar 9]

Ah so you've made the thread while i was asleep, huh?
xD
Anyway it looks really good!
I'm playing it when it's realeased, because i haven't seen the other route scripts.
Anyway the NEW tiles look cool Wesley, i think Cooley will use them.

[slicernicer]

from the screenshots, it looks like there's a man in your house who's your dad. But the thing is that Giovanni is silver's dad.

I know that, but I'm not making a Nintendo manga remake
But you just gave me an idea for a long-term event, wanna guess what?

[Sarcastic Prince]

Wow, Cooley.
The Hack has completely changed from Before.

I hope there won't be anymore restarting on this.

[cooley]

[alo123]

Spoiler:

The professor walks right through him

It says totdile instead of cyndaquil



All the people above this post freeze the game when you talk to them

If you talk to the professor on the side you walk through the sign and wall

Bugs I found

btw the events were great I lol'ed at the guy talking about
how he saved money on his car insurance right when the
professor was talking
I was disappointed it ended so early but cant wait for the next
release

[874521]

Well, I'm trying to fix the first one.
The second screen about totodile, is not a bug. They have to really go out and find all the totodile Lol
The people that freeze, they've all been given scripts
And the event by Walby Cave, has been remade to be bugless.

Well, no not really. Or I havent decided yet. But how does that make it more fun? Unless you mean 4th gen to make events...

Btw, here are some updates.
Gary? Why is he there???
(Overworld has been replaced with the original ASH sprite)

[Ryousha]

Hey Cooley, its me Ryousha/Exiled. Hopefully you still remember me :D!

Nice hack, I personally love Eruption. MSN me so i can beta test/alpha test :D.(well newer versions)

(ps. did you remove that phone plan because doesnt it bill you monthly?)
