  • looks cool but it dosen't work on vba or no$gba could you tell me what it works on?

    I'm 100% sure that it works on VBA, because I use it and finished V2 on it.
    Maybe you patched the rom incorrectly.
    Sounds to me like jetb1ackx didn't patch it at all, and tried to run the .ips in vba and no$gba to me lol.

    Just in case, here is a short tutorial on how to patch .ips files:

    ~Download LunarIPS (or another ips program)
    ~Download a clean Fire Red rom (Do not ask for links here, it's against the rules, Google is your friend)
    ~Open Lunar IPS and click Apply IPS patch
    ~Follow the on-screen instructions
    ~Open your patched rom in VBA or No$GBA
    ~Enjoy!

    Note: The Title Screen hasn't been updated yet, so after patching it will still have the Fire Red title screen.


    Hope that helps!

    it still dosen't work even when I patched it

    If you did everything Prixy said, it is working, you just think it doesn't work because you're only seeing the titlescreen which remains unchanged. =P

    ------

    I have almost everything finished for Version 3 now, guys! Like you already know, I've been having some major trouble with the world-map and titlescreen. The script for the quest log is annoying me too, because really I'd be better off waiting until later to do it so I don't need to keep re-scripting it all the time when I add new quests.
    Would you all mind terribly if V3 was released without these things sooner, or would you rather wait an indefinite amount of time until the title-screen, world map and quest logs are finished? I personally wouldn't mind the first option, but I decided to ask and go for the majority vote since I'm really not dealing with the comments about the lack of these things too well =P

  • The latter might take forever, so the first option please. Titlescreens add to be more presentable and it wouldn't affect the game story anyway.

    I'd like the first option. The extra features are nice, but I'm more interested in the story anyway :p

    I'm up in the air about it, part of me wants to play as soon as possible, but with all the issues we've had here about people thinking the patch didn't work, I wonder if it wouldn't be better to wait until we have at least a new titles screen before V3.

    As for the Quest Journal, I think it's a truly wonderful addition, but I am not too worried about having it in the next version, that could very well be one of the last features added, just before the final version. So this one makes me want an earlier release, instead of having to wait just to have this feature.

    World Map updates: I doubt too many people actually use the world map often enough to worry about this one. It can easily be pushed for a later release in my opinion.

    To summarize: 2/3 features beats 1/3, so let's go with an early release for increased story and playability, then worry about features later.

    A little note concerning the Quest Journal:
    Spoiler:


    Also, sorry I've been so inactive. Got a lot going on IRL at the moment, so I haven't had much time to really enjoy myself or give any feedback.

    Hope it helps!

    To be honest, I can't wait for V3 so an early release would be nice!
    And the features you noted aren't really needed to play the game, the Title screen doesn't bother me and I rarely use the world map, only to fly to diffrent cities.
    The quest journal would be nice, but like Prixy said I also agree that it's a thing that you should add before the release of the final version.

    I hope you had fun making V3 and gave it your best shot, because I already know I'm going to enjoy getting that master trainings license after seeing: ''This is the end of V2'' all the time. :P

    I just started this game and I'm wondering.

    I watched a video and when they entered the first Forest, they didn't encounter the Seeker VS Criminal event. But when I entered, I encountered this event. What are the conditions required to get it? Do I need to say NO when Kiana asked me to join her for that seller?

    Well thats a quite good observation you did there. I never sayed No to the seller and never saw the seekers and the criminals fighting in the 1st forest. So i guess you have to say NO for this event to trigger.

    Also, are there any recommended zones to train your pokemon?

    I was supposed to get to the Ruins of Kala. I was able to get through the Ruin Maniacs, but till that Jenelle (or whoever) appeared, she breezed my team because of a 10-level advantage (also, I was training 2 pokemon, so it was more like a 3v5). My pokemon are ranged around levels 32 to 40, any recommendations?
