Ruby hack: Pokemon Ruby 2

[pinta77]

Hes not resized. It is supposed to fit in slot 5. It replaces the big yellow guy. Anyway, that was just to practice some palate changing and i got a little distracted >.< dont worry about the "other project"



This is my current problem. Ash is looking great. Misty looks awesome! But the main character is all messed up... I've had palettes conflict before, but not like this...

Ash is palette 22, and misty is palette 16.

So I'm not sure what I'm going to do. Maybe I should use palettes 3, 4, 5, and 6, but that would mean I'd need to redo many over world sprites. Then again, that might not be so bad. It would make the game a little more unique.

Anyway, this weekend I'm going to try to have all 8 gyms done. Wish me luck

[gam3r!]

Good luck And hope you can fix the pallete mess up

[pinta77]

I think i will be able to. And while im at it, I'm contemplating changing the main characters since "customized/new" won by such a land slide.

[gam3r!]

yeah i'm looking forward to see the custom ow's

In this video, I test out the Day care really quick. Then I play through a quick part of the game. Then Finally, I'll show you an easter egg I added in the game Hopefully there will be more.

In this video, you'll be able to see 2 of the new overworld sprites. Also, I know some of you will be disappointed, but I added 2 Fakemon. I know, but I didn't make them and I think it's pretty decent looking. There will be no more fakemon, I promise.

Other News:
I'm going to change how the starters work. From playing other ROM hacks, I learned that me adding 4 starters kind of robs you of building a team. So I'm going to change that.

Nice, i'm making a pokémon game called Pokémon Rock Red main legendary is Groudon.

[pinta77]

Pm me once you have a thread Treecko. I'd love to check it out =)


Oh, I forgot to mention. Thanks to Pino17 for some helpful advice, and CrazyBuizel for a tutorial video, there just might be new music in this hack

[gam3r!]

Cool ! I'm going to watch that vid I'm not a big fan of adding new music though , but do whatever you want i don't mind :D

[pinta77]

Really? Why's that if you don't mind me asking?

I don't mind new music in hacks but i really prefer the original tunes of ruby . Do whatever you want though
Also the bird-esque fakemon in the video looked good

New music always adds some unique characteristics to a hack =)

Well whatever ! As i said i don't mind

[pinta77]

Thats interesting. I personally am completely sick of the ruby music because I've played so many Rom hack. Im in love with jupiter version mainly because of the music =)

What i will probably do is leave some of the original music in the game and change some. That's IF i can figure out how. I havent tried yet, ill save that for the very end.

As far as progress goes i have 7 gyms completed. So this hack is getting fairly close to done. I also changed the tiles a bit to make it look different.



And finally, a special thanks once again to Mavy42. Mavy is going to make a couple of the gym leader sprites for me

What do you mean by that :O I WANT MY COMBUSKEN !!!!
The pallete edits are good ! Also. what's that black place where the burglar ow is ????

[pinta77]

For starters, Ill probably have some sort of choice. The dark place is the dark type gym =3 ill warn you now, im not putting too much effort into the inside of the gyms. However the gym leaders will all be unique

Well... I think Ruby has nice music but I get the same feeling as you
Personally I love Faraway Place/Abandoned Ship music. It's my second favorite piece of Pokémon music with first being Lavender Town of course xD

[pinta77]

@gam3r - yes, there will be post game things. I'm planning on having you wipe out team snagem after you beat the elite four. Also there's the mission system.

@Ash - yes, if i do edit music it wont be everything.

Also, as i said before, i have 7 gyms completed. I have something.. Er... Different planned for the 8th gym.

Great ! i can't wait for it

[pinta77]

I have been test playing the game lately to keep an eye out for glitches. So far so good. The only thing that concerns me is that somewhere along the line, a sprite disappeared. I'm not sure how... I suppose I could insert a new one, but I hope nothing seriously bad happened :/ worst case scenario, i could use a back up from a few days ago.

Also, i cant ignore the poll results. I'm thinking about making a 2nd version of this game. The second one would be mostly the same but with completely different main characters, some ever so slight changes to the story, and possibly alternate missions. What do you think?

Good idea for the alternate version of the game , it reminds me flora sky which was in 2 versions ( however the differences were in the pokemon , the one had mostly genIII and genIV pokemon and the other was named "dex complement version" which had the tao trio instead of the legendary dogs and other stuff )
You could also name the second version . "pokemon indigo version" as a counterpart to pink.

[pinta77]

All 8 gyms are complete as far as scripting goes. The rest is graphics. I'm working on the elite four atm.





This is right outside the elite four. I dunno, kinda empty looking. And Ever Grand City looking...

Elite four battles are completed. I just need to use advance text to change the words and then change the tilesets.

I believe Pinta just misspelled Armaldo or mistook Armaldo for its evolution because Steven's team looks similar to the one that is in PWT of B2W2 =)

By the way, Pinta, I love the OWs of Espeon and Umbreon, did you make them by yourself or ripped of PMD/Conquest/HG/SS?

[PNT101]

I like the feel of this game. You have a pretty great general idea but you should focus more on the important things.
