FireRed hack: Hidden Ties

[chrunch]

Like Giradialkia said, WHERE IS EVERYBODY?
Why doesn't anyone post?

Anyway, I might try the Rocket Sprite later, if I have time.

[trebornosliw]

Awesome, that'd be great.
Anyway, I'm back! I'll get back to work on this project as soon as I'm done unpacking and have slept for about a year.

Everything's coming along great. I've got several more scripts to complete and then I'll be done with Beta 1. There's one minor complication, but I should be able to clear it up without too much trouble. Thanks for the welcome! It's good to be back.

[trebornosliw]

Beta 1 is finished! It's currently going through primary beta testing, after which there's secondary testing and the release. I've got some great events going, I'll tell you how the testing goes!

*so excited for Beta!* I'm going to be lost to the world while i play thou!

[mervyn797]

tell me, have u posted the beta version? i dont really remember seeing that alpha link over there in the first post. LoL

[trebornosliw]

Haven't posted beta yet, but there's an alpha download in post 1, I believe. Alpha 1 saves will be fully compatible with Beta 1, so there's no real drawback to beating the alpha if you haven't already.
The beta should be posted soon. I'm just waiting for word from my testers.

[trebornosliw]

And now, the long-awaited moment. Beta 1 is ready for release! There are one or two bugs still (check the "known bugs" list in Post 1), but overall it's come out beautifully.
Let me know what you all think! Download is in the first post.

[KaiVii]

yay!!! I wish i could get on my laptop and try it out now but alas i must wait

[Neon Hydra]

I like how it has a new begining plot and it is very original. keep up the good work i will definetlly try this.

[trebornosliw]

Thanks! I'm trying to make HT very plot-oriented.

[Blackberry]

No offense, but I think you should go and read some Mapping tutorials. :3

Otherwise, The hack looks amazing.

[trebornosliw]

Lol, if I took offense at every criticism I received of this hack, I'd be sobbing under my bed right now.
Thanks for the critique.
Btw, I forgot to mention that the Beta ends after Arbor Woods and/or the second Underground Tunnel. If you proceed through the warps, you'll wind up back on routes from the original game. I'm currently looking into inserting some new tiles (made by the ever-amazing Giradialkia), and once they're online I'll post an update with those areas blocked off. Until then, just don't go there.

[Shubalabab]

i kind like it,its so good

[trebornosliw]

Well, I just did the forum rounds, checking on some of my favorite hacks, and am terrified by the fact that almost all of them are now closed threads.
I just want to assure any trigger-happy mods out there that this hack is still alive! Currently working on some scripts for the next city while Giradialkia inserts some tiles. I may post another chapter of the story soon, if anyone cares.

[lizardman974]

How do you get to Arbor Woods? I battled Bruno like I'm guessing you're supposed to (even though it's obvious you can't ever win at that part of the game), I beat Shade, and I don't see any other paths to take anywhere! Can somebody help?

[trebornosliw]

After you beat Bruno, he leaves the tunnel, so that passage is no longer blocked. Just head on through and you can access the next route. Arbor woods isn't for a while after that though.

[lizardman974]

Thanks! By the way, why is there a single starter pokemon on some routes? One has Cyndaquil, one has Chikorita, and I found one with Bulbasaur on Bruno's Island!

[trebornosliw]

Well, that's just the way I had it set up. I'd be making a route, and suddenly go "hey, I think I'll drop a starter here," and there you go.
By the way, your sig is scaring the crud out of me.

[lizardman974]

You mean the sign part? If you go to the website on the bottom of the sign, you can make your own sign that tells people their info. It's actually pretty funny.

Edit: Why are all the emblem people so strong? I mean, first there was Bruno with a level 90 Machamp, but then Agatha has a level 91 Umbreon! Are we supposed to fight her?

[trebornosliw]

No, Agatha gives you the emblem for catching that Scyther, it's not necessary to battle her. I just did that because I'm not a very nice person.
Most of the Emblem holders won't battle you, they'll just give you a task to complete, while the Elite will battle you, but aren't necessary.

[lizardman974]

Oh. Also, does Glaceo (or whatever his name is) give you an emblem that lets you use Cut? Because I looked everywhere in Arbor Woods and can't find the Old Amber, but there's one area that's blocked off by a tree that's cuttable.

[trebornosliw]

You can get to the Old Amber without Cut, it's just hard to find the right path.
After you find the Amber, that's the end of the beta. I'm letting you know because I forgot to put up a barrier, so you can technically keep going, but you'll be back on a generic FR route. So, the only thing left for you to do in this release is beat the trainers in Theophilus Gardens if you haven't already.

[WeightyWillBill]

This hack looks very good, keep it up! I especially like the Gardevoir part, it's kinda like he/she's a guru
And the screenshots are verry nice!
