Strombreaker was disbanded.Laziness of members etc. And thank you for offer. Announcement: If you need some custom tiles PM Don Patch ( if you don't mind), members

[Christos]

Not laziness, mostly because of most members' inactivity.

Is anyone here good at overworld/region mapping?
I need someone to help me with Liquid Ocean's region.

[Martin Yiu]

I can make a map, but don't want me to implement map into the game. You can take NG Kanto as a reference to my skills.

EDIT: Does any one know how to safely edit the gamecode? Like BPRE to other one, like ABCD, for example?

[Christos]

We can talk in Windows Messenger about the region map.
And you can edit the gamecode with a Hex Editor. Open your ROM and you'll see "FIREBPRE" in the text. You can edit it.

[Martin Yiu]

Thanks for the advice, so now we shall discuss the map. And people, do you remember Speedonh's storyline? Please start the new project with the Emerald codebase.

[Christos]

It's a good idea. Is there anyone willing to be the lead hacker?
We have the storyline, now we need a name and the lead hacker.

Please post if you want to be the lead hacker on this or post name suggestions for the new project.

Hello peoples
i'm presenting you new titlescreen of pokemon Rainbow Wings
its not completly done but leet me know what do you think.


leet me know if you wanted to use Giratina or Heatran?

[Christos]

The titlescreen is nice, keep Giratina.

Heatran would look nice too but Giratina matches more with the name of your hack.

just one think about it
its better to make it a hack of ruby
because emerald have alot of errors
i think that is reson why Christos have changed a base of his hack to Pokemon Fire Red

[Martin Yiu]

Oh, okay. But I think it will be good to import FR tileset to improve graphics. And the titlescren loks really nice :D

[Swimmer♂]

I think a good name for the hack would be pokemon aftermath (this name has been used before, but the hack died long ago). I don't really have the right amount of skills to be hack leader.

Also, Christos i would like to know your decision on my spriting, i am an official spriter, do i need to improve more or am i just not accepted?

Thanks

[Alistair]

Nice title screen, Keba. Giratina looks great.

And for people who want me to make them tiles: when sending me a request, please make it somewhat detailed. Like size, colors, style, etc.
If I get a PM just saying "CAN Y00 Make M3 TiLeS? PLZ??!?" or something like that, I will not make any for the person that sent it.

Your spriting has improved, you should try making a sprite with different parts of trainers to keep the shading and the outline look fine and edit the face a bit.

Can anyone make a trainer sprite and backsprite for the overworld sprite in this screenshot?



For the backsprite, you can just change Fire Red's hero's backsprite colors and edit the head,

[Martin Yiu]

Oh, it's nice that our group is this active! I think there be one -only for RHA- NG beta available.

[Swimmer♂]

is the beta available now? If so, can you get me a copy plz

@Christos: i don't really understand.... do you want me to use all different parts of trainers, to keep the shading, or to reshade them?

Thanks

[Martin Yiu]

Everyone from RHA and certified testers will be able to get their copy of NG patch. So please wait. Maybe this evening (GMT+1 - 10:07 AM is here.)... or sooner :D

And please someone start to think about somehacking tutorials, so we can be a more productive group. If someone wants revamping, or mapping, tell me and I can help you.

I mean, when you make your sprites, you can use different parts of trainers, edit the shading a bit to look fine with the sprite and recolor it and edit the face and other things.

[Swimmer♂]

Oh right, i understand now, thanks Christos, i will try!

[BlueSonic]

Hello, Sorry for the inactivity. I was busy with some home stuff.

I'v been making some progress too with PE and as Matt said, I too may release a alpha too. Just for you guys

BTW, Christos, Nice OW.

[Martin Yiu]

Sorry, but the NG beta won't be available sooner than this late evening (cca 22-23:00 GMT +1) because of complete mess-up of my ROM. I will have to export all data which can be used and re-edit the pallettes. I think there was something with editing the scripts ... Hope it will be repaired quickly.

[Swimmer♂]

Christos, you know the sprites you wanted making for that OW, well, i gave it a go:
herogz0.png

(wasn't too sure what colour his trousers were supposed to be :\)
