Introduction

To all those who remember me and the hack, I'm back! And to all who don't, allow me to introduce myself. I'm TSK, a hacker who prefers to spend more time on scripting than on anything else. Scripting is what I try to focus on while hacking, although I don't think graphic and storyline are neglectable either =]



Story

Silvercurrent is hack set in the Currenze Region and revolves around Team Omega and their heinious plan to take control of the entire planet using the unimaginable power of Lugia.
You are thrown in to action from the start, after receiving your first Pokémon and setting of on your journey you witness Team Omega capturing Lugia... It is your job to track down Team Omega and to release Lugia.
Along the way you also face the Currenze Gym Leader challenge.(After all people in the "pokéworld" also need jobs)

Features
-Scripts, a lot...
-Complete new region, I intend to keep recycling to Pokémon and items only.(And game engine)
-New graphics? Most certainly, but they aren't on top of my list.
-A new starter, Lapras!
-More will follow as I go along...

Releases

Beta 2 has been made available:

Link: SilverCurrent Beta 2 v21


May I ask that everyone that has played Beta 1 starts a new savefile!
Otherwise you might get stuck.
Also, this version comes prepatched with the savepatch so older saves will probably malfunction. This was done to assure that no players would run into a nasty surprise after finishing the E4 in a later release. (There the game must use the actual .sav file to continue.)

Enjoy!

Please post any remarks and errors you might find on this thread!

Yay! SilverCurrent is back! I'm glad to see this is continued!

Wow

From what I've read from the old thread, you have seemed to Grasp
Scripting pretty well. I like the Videos, Glad its back, Good luck!
Arrrhh!
:pirate:

I remember Adam showing me a video of Silvercurrent a few days ago, and I asked about it. He said it was before my time here, as a hacker. Well, I guess that it's pretty cool that it's back now. I wish you good luck with everything.

Oh, and your scripts look excellent, too. Good grammar = amazing in my book. ^^

I thank you all for your praise =]
I'm currently working on a rather big script with some things in it I haven't done before... Current linecount: 182 and rising ^^

After playing a "top-tier" hack today (Rijon Adventures) I decided to finish the events for my new town and than go back to the start of the game and fix the details I found so marvelously worked out in the scripts of Rijon Adventures. Afterwards I'll probably release a Beta.

The answer is... no.

Probably 'cause most people are untrustable and they just want to
play the Beta waaaaaaaaaay more earlier than others.

Read my mind...

If I "hire" betatesters I need to be sure I'll get back decent error reports.

On another note, I'll probably put up a vid with the refurbished "don't go into the grass" script later today.

Twilite Darkrai's now called Blaze Emotion, I thought you should know.

Thanks for the heads up =] (correct expression?)

Refurbished "don't go into the grass" script is ready, will update with youtube link when it's uploaded.

EDIT: updated "don't go in the grass"
Please comment =]

I'm interested in being a spriter. If you're not too fussed about graphics I can make you ones that are based on original Nintendo sprites, but changed to make new characters (like the one on my avatar). If you need to see more let me know and I'll do another one. (I'm pretty new to spriting as in I've only made that one, but I know how to do it and I study art at college so shouldn't be a problem?)

ARGH. I just spent ages making the hero sprite and Pixen crashed and now its gone T____T I'll have to redo it tomorrow...

can i use team omega cuz i already created their sprites and stuff oh dis time theyd go after your ho-oh if choose it as your starter

ill be a beta tester
if that is still available

Ok here is the sprite for the heroine so far:
Just wondering what you think? Its not finished but just want to know if you like the idea of her in general. I was thinking of using the blue in her skirt for the hero's hair.

Edit: that's weird the colours have come out more dull on here than in my drawing programe :/

The sprite looks excellent so far!
I'm not bothered with the duller colors, but I haven't seen the other version.

Blue-haired Hero sounds good =]

Glad you like :D
Ok cool :)

She's pretty much finished now I think.
I've started the hero as well:

What do you think?
