FireRed hack: Pokemon Jasper Version

[gam3r!]

Oh.. Hope you will overcome this problem soon ! Good luck

[shinyabsol1]

Update!

Good news! I have completed reinserting everything onto a new rom! I'll be getting back to advancing on this project, so expect an update within the next week or so.

[gam3r!]

glad you managed to reinsert everything

[shinyabsol1]

Update!

I've been working on implementing dive. Dive now functions for when you want to go underwater, and will soon support emerging from underwater.

Here are some screens:


^Dive will function for any of the dark spots




^The Seaweed is not animated yet, but it will be soon!

It won't be long before dive is fully functioning. I guess I might upload a video of it working if anyone is interested in seeing it.

I'll probably be ready to update again in the next few days.

Nice stuff. I'm quite interested in the fact you were able to get dive to work in fire red, is that a full animation or just a warp? Lastly did you make your own world map and trainer sprite? They look well done :)

The dive script works by warping. It takes the player's X/Y coordinates, and warps them to that location on an underwater map (sounds simple, but there is a ton of other stuff that goes into getting it to work properly).

And yes, the world map and hero sprites are both made by me. Thanks!

Really nice script but I'd also like to know something more about it

So how are you going to implement "being able to return," ? Will each position you can "surf on" lead to a water block in "upper world" when used Dive to return? First I got the idea that you're going to compare your current (x,y) location to some list values for being able to use Dive. That wouldn't have been a great idea at all...

Also, "warp-to-points" during warps can't be determined as ram addresses, right? They're just [Map Number (2 bytes)] [X location] [Y location]. So how did you manage it to load the current (x,y) value as part of the warp-script? Assembly? Or a trigger event on each position in the "upper world" map where you can use Dive? That wouldn't explain the way how using Dive in the underworld map (practically) could be implemented though.

It would be a bit difficult for me to explain exactly how it works (efficiently), but I'll try to answer your questions as best I can.

In the "upper world", the script will take the x/y coordinates of the player and warp the player accordingly to an underwater map. The same is true for the underwater map. So the coordinates of where you can dive from on one map must match up with the coordinates of where you can resurface from underwater on another map.

Oh yeah, and dive/emerge are their own separate scripts.

I have made use of one of JPAN's specials to make it work properly. Special 0x7F - get tile attribute. Hard to explain, but by checking whether or not a certain tile has water encounter potential I can make it work. I should also mention that the dive/emerge script is activated using JPAN's behavior byte hack.

Hope that helps you understand somewhat!

Update!



Forest area. Yes, I am aware of the tile errors/missing tiles.



Cave area



A few 4th gen Pokemon that I have inserted thus far. Credit for the sprites to Chaos Rush!



I have also been recoloring some Pokemon.

Also, I will be uploading a video of dive working at some point today!

[SK3]

Looking awesome, I really like your tiles and the backgrounds, keep up the good work!

Well, I don't know about white (seems a bit bright to me), but light blue could work. Here, I quickly edited the color and uploaded it. How about that?

[godlesplay]

now is much better ! and maybe change green triangle to blue

[shinyabsol1]

I'll work on getting the colors to go better together today. Perhaps I'll upload a screen later when I get the dive video up.

[shinyabsol1]

Here's the video showing dive that I promised

Sorry...no clue how to embed that

[Pinkish Purple]

Errrrhmaaaahgerrd, that is so damn sweet! You're an awesome scripter! This page should get more views ):

[PokemonMasters]

While I did do all of the work figuring out how to get it to function properly, some credit for the way dive works should go to Gamefreak (for the base dive script that saved me a bunch of time) and to JPAN (for the special that allows this to work). Just remember that

Any tile errors that appear in the screenshots on the first page have been fixed.

Thanks for the compliments

Also, (for anyone who has seen the dive video), you will have noticed that there are tiles that do nothing when "A" is pressed on them, yet they still make the clicking noise. It is a minor bug that I cannot fix (except, perhaps, with ASM --- which I don't know).

This is AMAZING! A hack this awesome should be spammed with hundreds and hundreds of people! Really looking forward to this! Keep up the great work, would love to see this through to the end!

And hopefully someone will be kind enough to make a banner, or you can do it yourself maybe, because I want this in my signature. I would make one but it would turn out horribly and just make the hack look like complete crap.

Also, in my opinion, I think you should stick with just 1 rival or 2, I fine it annoying when some hacks have 5.

Thanks! I really want to finish this project, but people will have to be patient. I posted somewhere in the thread that I thought I could get a beta out by the end of September and...well, here we are and I can say for sure now that it will not happen. Life has become busy over the past few weeks, and my progress has slowed.

And hopefully someone will be kind enough to make a banner, or you can do it yourself maybe, because I want this in my signature. I would make one but it would turn out horribly and just make the hack look like complete crap.

Ya know, maybe I will work on a banner when I have time. But if anyone does want to make one for me, go ahead.

Also, in my opinion, I think you should stick with just 1 rival or 2, I fine it annoying when some hacks have 5.

eh...did I put something about lots of rivals somewhere? I don't see it...

It doesn't matter, though, only 2 are planned

[Pinkish Purple]

I made you a userbar! Idk about you but I am gonna use it till someone makes a professional userbar for you. I am gonna wear it in my signature! I'll get PokemonMasters, Alignment and maybe teejermiester, Mikachu or even Mavy42 to wear it for you!

Thanks Pinkish Purple, it looks really good! Professional enough for me!

You don't need to get people to use the banner for me, though. It should really be their decision as to whether they want to show their support for my hack

[Pinkish Purple]

Aww, don't mention it PokemonMasters is my best pal so I sort of force him to do some stuff
