FireRed hack: Pokémon: Liquid Crystal [3.3.xxxxx Live Beta]

[Maxim]

Oh, it's back.

I wonder how will Orange Archipelago look like. Will they be similar to its anime counterpart?

Also, try to make the Orange Islands map look similar to the official one. It really annoyed me in Sergio's Naranja that his Orange Archipelago map was merely a broken Hoenn map.

Also, minor detail (from what I've seen on a screenshot) - why isn't Vermillion Harbor a building?

Paz~

PD:sorry my bad english i speak spanish

In the next beta there is linking capabilities in the Pokécom Centers only which are in Goldenrod City and the Orange Islands. That totodile bug with beta 2.1 was fixed a while back. Thanks for mentioning it though ;)

It's possible. If someone can get me a full list of changes comparing the differences rather than a full list of what they are then i can do it.

I prefeer one millon times your hack, before the HG/SS. ^^

Haha thanks. Some of the sprites are old we have a few planned possibly for this beta but if not it will be the next/final beta.

Im not removing all the weather only the annoying ones like sandstorms. Theres an updated weather system which reflects the current season your in in real life like summer, winter etc although that currently only works for UK seasons. It's possible that in time I add weather patterns for other regions too. I will miss sandstorms so might add them in like 1 in 100 chance you get them.

With vermillion and other maps ive changed it so there isnt an underhouse for the harbor, same with olivine city.

The orange islands maps will be nothing like what they are in the anime. Infact I'll be mapping each one from scratch and from my head. The town names are completely different unless i add a major event from the anime which is possible. From whats in the beta 2.1 i added the Gs ball event. Its important that people know that my orange islands wont follow closely the story of the anime, infact not at all. The only ones are events i pick out like the crystal onix, the snorlax and stuff like that. Also the island names will be used from the anime like valencia island and sunburst island but again, not the town names.

I hope people arnt expecting to play through the orange islands exaclty how they were in the anime because it wont happen like that. The plot for there is 90% custom and totally different.

If you were fighting one of the Team Static grunts in Silph Co, I think towards the top of the tower, they had a Quagisre that if it used Amnesia, your game could freeze.

[Carlomagno92]

I forgot about another "bug". Well, when I was shopping TM's in Goldenrood, I bought Ice Punch, but my Feraligart, can't learn, and my Noctowl can learn (Is because Ice Punch Work like Reflect or Light Screen). The same way, thunder punch, and fire punch.

Ah that. That was also caused by the battle glitch which caused silvers kadabra to freeze. So its fixed too.

learnable tms have been also done to about 99% correctness. I'll ask that people post any oddities they find with them here after i release beta 3.1.

[Andrew McKenzie]

It's great to hear that you guys are back to making this the best you can.
I was upset when I heard it was cancelled and the then-called final beta was only being
released to a limited amount of people, to either continue themselves with your advice or
to just play to its limit...

But now that this is being continued by the original creators, I must say, I am extremely excited!

I did play it to my heart's content after I applied and you sent it on.
But now you're back.
Sincere good luck guys! Make this the best you can!

[Fireworks]

Good to see this back, LaZ. I've already played some of it, since I was accepted for the continuation, but it'll be interesting to see what you have planned for this. The Orange Islands is something that definitely caught my interest. Good luck, and I hope to see this project completed soon

[Darkerm]

Happy to know that one of my favorite hack is back in Business.
I Love Jhoto more than any other regions.
Hope New beta will be here soon and we can Play it again.
BTW, Is there will be any change of tiles or 4th or 5th generation Pokemon in the next version?

This should help you:

Q: How about fourth generation poke?
A: Nope. There should be enough poke to have enough fun.

[MikeMatt15]

This hack is absolutely amazing. Great job. I found an issue though, when in the rocket warehouse in Mahogany, the trainer sent out a ditto, and when it transformed, it froze my game...

Also, I have a question, In the Q/A you said that the dogs will be like crystal, so are you saying that after I confront Suicune, Raikou and Entei will be free and we can find Raikou and Entei in the wild?

Well, that not bad. Although in HG & SS you can find 3rd and 4th Generation. anyway, Waiting for release.

[rollnik]

hi, what about following you starter? any plans with it?

[K2 XTREME]

That at the moment is practically impossible to add to a hack.

Well you've obviously never experienced enough rom hacking
for starter following.

Anyways on topic, I linky or your nickname pinky w/e
I hope you've fixed those extra bugs and looking forward
to basically the proper beta 3
(that other one is like 2.5).

[jAvAcOlA]

How come instead of making guys like Scyther and Onix evolve at high levels you don't just make it so leveling them up once with a steel coat or whatever item the certain pokemon needs evolves them? Then it's more like the real games in that you can evolve it pretty much on immediate access to the item. For the original four- Alakazam, Golem, Gengar, and Machamp...there could simply be in-game trades. There is then no tearing apart the evolution system.


And on a side note...Red's sprite. Zeikku's one bad sprite. Doesn't really look anything like Red, and makes him look like a dweeb.

Also, to your above point about adding Gen IV and V moves...I think a much better investment would be to incorporate the physical/special split that was introduced in Gen IV. Would that even be possible?

[Suicune™]

I Love LC! ~ Can't wait for Beta 3.1 especially with the Orange Islands

[Krobelus]

Huh Liquid Crystal is back eh? I can honestly say I didn't see this coming.

Oh well, either way I can't wait for the release.

[MikeMatt15]

I cant continue the game as the trainer freezes on his 2nd pkmon in silph co.

[knightangelx]

hey guys.i was playing the game and was in silph co.the game messed up and i had not saved for a while so i just saved there.i tried to open the game again but it doesnt open and shows a black screen but i can hear sound in background and also go to the menu.can anyone help me?i really do not want start all over again.appreciated.

[Nintendork15]

Just took another glance at the new screens <3

Goldenrod now has a beach :D (prepares to spend hours running up and down)

[AMZMA]

prepare my self for beat this hack for 6th times.

[LightOfTruth]

How big can a hack can be? I'm supposing it isn't like HG/SS/G/S/C rubbish kanto instead it would be the full sized kanto from Red/Blue/Firered/Leafgreen. I played but never got that far yet. Reason why I haven't in cause I would have to restart for the orange islands because of the changes like the Goldenrod City beach

I'll make my return now. It was only a matter of time.
I never made those sprites, so your point is invalid. All crappy sprites will be improved, without a doubt.

First things first:
Do you guys like the Tileset I made so far? - There's more to create/add soon. Originally, we were going to strip the ROM of all default tiles, but in a way it'd lose the Pokémon feel. I'd hate this hack to look amazing, but have it's event-based element being awful.

An apology:
I've been out of action for a while now, so I'm not going to lie - I've lost a lot of interest in ROM hacking due to me becoming a Journalist for The Dashhacks Network. I play games and get paid for it, so I have little time to hack ROMs. I've also got a lot more responsibilities now, including a girlfriend, University and enjoying the last year of being a teenager (I'm 19 now).

Linkandzelda asked me to do some sprites last week which I haven't forgotten, but I recently got hit with a temporary ban regarding my PlayStation account due to producing hacks for the PlayStation 3. I've spent the last few days getting rid of the traces of these hacks and beating the games I illegitimately downloaded. I now have my main account with 20 Platinum Trophies back and a lot of free time.

So to Linkandzelda, I'll get the sprites done. This will probably be my last hack with you, but I will help you to achieve the dream we both once had about this. We have other plans, but time will tell.

I'm not going to lie, I can still sprite like a beast. Check it out: My Artwork since I've been away.

On a side note:
Linkandzelda recently ended up in hospital. He tried to pick a fight with the Seagulls that once attacked him in his room. As a result, I'm taking over - I am Co-Owner after all? :D

Theres new tiles in beta 3.1 compared to 2.1 and probably a few extras which people haven't seen yet. As for 4th and 5th gen, nope...

We the dogs work slightly different due to on of my mandatory events regarding suicune. On the original you had to find sucune on route 36, route 42 and in cianwood city before you could battle him in the tin tower (i think) so with LC the cianwood event is there with the battle with eusine, but the others are not. Once you battle him the two other dogs are released in the wild, but untrackable by the pokedex.

The split i will add yes, but not too sure on the trades. I've changed most of them since beta 2.1 and the in game trades already exist for the for real trades of Crystal. Not sure about adding extras as it makes it easier for people. I would prefer they discovered how to do it.

Yes theres some odd bug there which im not sure why it occurs.. Theres a long fix which involves swapping the map and all sorts.

Hehe theres running up and down it thats fun for sure... but what about surfing up and down?

Haha thanks zeikku. A touching post. I'll be looking forward to those sprites and tiles for sure!!

UPDATE:
I've been rather busy with college and assignments of the past few weeks, but i started half term for a week yesterday. I have some other projects for this term but im sure that LC testing will be done too. So far i'm up to Mahogany town with everything before already tested. I'll aim to get johto fully tested by the end of this week, but of course more will probably be done. Up until now ive probably fixed over 100 bugs since the release of the beta 3 preview!!!

Also thanks to Jambo51 for adding in a ton of ASM hacks to make for an enhanced GSC experience in LC.
