Heatran's OW looks perfect and I can't wait to see him in battle :>

Anyway, this hack is looking as awesome as a Spheal :D

Thanks, and sharp eye--it's been fixed now.

Spheal looks pretty awesome, I have to admit.

So, why not take a look at some tidbits of minor stuff I've been doing recently?

Coral Town gets a revamp.
Route 1 does also.


Pokémon Centre Basement's Return!


:3


Gold Pokéball checker thing. Yeah.

edit: 100th post!

As you can see, I've finally done the hero's overworld. I still need to insert the fishing, cycling and surfing OWs, the trainer sprite and everything for the female (include actually spriting it for the female), but it's something.

[Nintendork15]

Hero's overworld's look good. :D
And All the updates above but I'm not gonna say them all D:

and: I MUST HAZ ZEM GOLD BALLS O__O

[Chimchar 9]

The hero Ow looks like Lucas. (That's his name, isn't it? xD)

Anyway, the update above that looks really nice. It looks more spacious.

Good luck!! (;

there is a freeze after battling Jack of hearts in under cave. your character disappears and there is NO way to fix it.

Um, I'm pretty sure that bug is down to you patching on a bad ROM. Nor my beta testers or anyone else has reported this bug, so if I were you I'd redownload a FireRed ROM and patch that one. Sorry.

Just passing by to say; great job Haroun. All this time you've been working really hard on this, and I see it pays off.

Hopefully I'll find the time to play it, as well.

[Mr. Magius]

This looks like a great game. Looks like you really know what you're doing, and it seems extremely fun to play. I'm eager to try out c: Impressed with the way you altered the basic textbox to extend passed the game screen. I enjoy how you kept the classic capitalized names of things. Very good job, looks official and top-notch :3

And I like the hack's name as well!

Haha, thanks, glad to know you like it ^^

Anyway, I'm going to be taking a break from hacking for a while. I will, however, leave you with 20 screenshots :]

Thanks to:
- Flandre Scarlet for inserting the Heatran sprites
- DrFuji for coming up with the policeman's names (Parker, Hodgkins and Reginald) <3

This screen looks a bit weird. I have never seen Gamefreak using the water edges that way.

The thing that bugs me about this screenshot is that the Heatran is very small and looks like it was far away from the player. In fact, it's not much bigger (if it even is) than Spheal.


Maybe it's supposed to be like this, but the window looks a bit weird on this screenshot (the outline is too bold).

It's obviously not an error but it looks pretty weird when a little girl walks around carelessly when some thugs attack an old man .

[poke4fun]

Interesting hack, may try it out once I finish up with my other LP

[vs1958]

When I ran out of steps in the safari zone, it sent me behind the counter of the safari house (where the people you can talk to are...) and now i can't get out.

Yeah I need to redo that, thanks :D.

Thanks! Comments in bold.

Sorry for the late reply, this has been fixed, in the mean time, if you still have your copy, just google the FireRed walk through walls hack to get through. Sorry!

[TheStupidBibarel]

this hack is one of the best ever made! i have do doubt the more hacks you make, the better the'll get :D

[DrFuji]

TheStupidBibarel, please don't bump threads that haven't been posted in for over a month.

Icey, if you want this thread opened sometime in the future then just message either myself or gira.

[Spherical Ice]

So! I have begun work on Dark Cobalt again!
Because I had lost everything since the release of Beta 1, I have decided to completely restart the hack. You can still download Beta 1 on the first post, but this is showing the progress I've done so far on the restart - that is, up to around Gym 2 (not shown in the screenshots above yet). Most everything has been redone; scripts, maps (which have improved a lot in my opinion), storyline (very small edits).

so yeah :3

(that bank video has some outdated aspects but is generally up-to-date

[Hacker Bisharp]

I really like the game and so far I have not found errors.
Here's my team, have just arrived at the first gym.

[Aurizen]

awesome!!! I cant wait how long before this is completed?

[stynimtes]

hey! im gonna download this tomorrow. shame u had to restart. anyways, do u need anyone to make sprites for battles? if so just put ur ideas in a post and ill get started as soon as i see the post. also, can u edit the ow sprite for raikou it looks a bit small

[Nintendork15]

Oooo!!
Glad to see this is back.
Like last time, I wish this the greatest of lucks and will play the next release of it, however long it may take.

[stynimtes]

There is a glitch on Route 3 i used a repel and when i went in the tall grass a lvl 1 ?????????? appeared.

[Rim]

Sprites aren't a major concern at the moment but if I do need help, I'll be sure to contact you. I agree, I'll change the Beasts' overworlds :D

Hm, that's weird. Hopefully it wont happen in the rerelease of Beta 1.

Well, right now I'm working on redoing Beta 1, with some added features, so Beta 2 is quite far off for now, sorry D:

[0shawott]

Do you still plan on adding fakemon to this hack? I think it looks excellent so far but fakemon usually put me off playing a hack as often... they aren't so good. I really like new evolutions and pre-evos of current Pokémon so if they are just those and they are done well then I'll be happy!

[SwiftSign]

That bank script is pretty cool Do you get interest on your money or does the bank have another function?

Also I really love your clean-cut text formatting, however the first screenshot looks a bit weird since Torchic is the same red as the mother's text. Also I guess the 'and' should also be red. It's a bit problematic having a fire Pokémon xD - Saying that I can't think of an alternative way to do it.

Looking good so far :3 I'll play the beta once exams are over hopefully!
