FireRed hack: Pokémon XD2: Tempest of Darkness!

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

Back [ Online! ] !
err... well atleast for a while! =D

@Toomi: Woot! Thankies for the CC!
I'll round off the those slopes ASAP! =D
Also, I noticed that the stairs looked a bit weird over there... I had actually put the stairs for a rival battle, but seems like a standard cave entrance would be better!
Thanks for taking the time to look through the mapping!
I would surely accept you as a Beta Tester aswell, that is, if you wished.

EDIT: BTW, I'll make seperate sprites with a shadow backdrop.

EDIT2: Just editing before going [ Offline ] !
I've made a lot of changes to the tiling to make it look like DP, expect screens and finishes to the tilesets tommorrow!

 

[SephirothX]

Well, I won't lie to you... the maps are terrible in certain already-pointed-out places... Nice concept though!

 

[Alex]

Hey hey! I'd like to take you up on that offer for the Beta Testing, I'd be happy to. And I come baring map improvements!

First of all, in this screenie:

See the tile right beside the top tile of the little mountain? Sort of where the green stuff ends abruptly? Well, try using this tile:

For it to end up looking a bit like this:

Looks better, huh?

Second one:

Wrong fence tile. Look out for those kinds of things.

EDIT: Just noticed something.

That looks bad and unfortunately, the tile you're looking for does not exist. Try to work your way around that using some bushes. Maybe instead of a tree, put two bushes allowing the Corner Fence Tile to go where it should and to keep the grass. Anyway you do it, make sure the Corner Fence Tile is there.

Tell me if you can't see the images, I'll upload them on Photobucket instead

Story sounds great! Just fix up the tile mistakes in the maps and you will be fine!

Good luck!

Scompi.

 

[slayeryu12]

nice hack dude this should be a good play hope it gets finished!

 

[Chibaymega12]

I love the screens, they look great. I'll have to keep my eye on this one.
Are you going to release it in betas? If so, when can we expect the first one?

 

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

Hmm... sorry guys for not being able to update... my maths exam is coming up soon, so don't expect new maps for now, instead I'm working on tiles and fixing current mapping ATM.

Thanks for the CC!
@marz: Thankies for pointing out those errors! ^___^
I'll fix 'em soon. I'll also PM you a "BETA TESTER" Userbar once it's made! =D

Expect some screenshots by tommorrow! =D

 

[Alex]

Looking forward to the screenies! And it's okay, you don't need to PM me a Beta Tester Userbar, if I'm getting the right idea, it'll be for my signature, I don't put any banners in my sig apart from the ones up there now, so if you send it to me, I won't be using it. Save yourself the trouble and keep your work set on studying and this hack.

 

[Phanima]

Then, if that's the case, you can send me the userbar ^-^. You don't have to of course. :\ Anyway, I'd like to take you up on the beta testing offer you proposed earlier, if you are still willing that is. If not, expect more criticisms for future screenshots ^o^.

 

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

@Marz: Thankies! ^^
BTW, could you PM me your messenger adress? I think It's better to converse about the Testing there! ^^;

@Toomi: You're readily accepted! =D
And I've added you to MSN aswell, so we'll talk stuff over there! =P
I'll get the userbar to your inbox by Sunday or so! XD

By, the way here's a *slight* preview of the non-messed up new tiling:-
New Tiling
Notice the mistakes aren't corrected yet; so don't point that out.

Once it's done, screens will be updates! =D

 

[Alex]

Hey Pearl. Sorry, I don't have any IM. We can do it over PM, I've done it before. Um, I like the new palette, but the bushes and hedges blend in WAY too much with the grass. Darken those bushes and hedges, it'll look a lot better.

 

[zel 2.0]

Haha! I like more people modifying the intro to surprise the fools who buy hacks! :P

But, the hack looks promising, if you follow the guys' advises on mapping, it'll get even better (I also consider the tiling should be fixed). And, it sounds interesting the stuff on the "underwater caves", but I don't get what's that about. We'll be playing mostly during the beginning of the game in caves? XD

Good luck with this project!

 

[DiamondDust]

I see what you're trying to do, and it's coming along.
Keep it up and it'll totally be copied.

 

[Alex]

Hey Pearl, so what's up with the hack, what's new with it, what's going dowwnn? xD Sorry, but yeah.

And, @ SoulBankai!: What do you mean 'it'll be copied'?

WOOT 800TH POST!

 

[Chibaymega12]

yeah, i cant wait for some more screens too

 

[Death Rogers]

I really like what I see. Good luck with the hack. I really like the storyline.

 

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

Hey Pearl, so what's up with the hack, what's new with it, what's going dowwnn? xD Sorry, but yeah.

WOOT 800TH POST!

Well, ATM you see I've got two more exams left, after that expect quick flow of screens throughout the day, and a BETA by next week if all goes well.
Just to tell you, I'm starting the second route's concept right now.

 

[Alex]

Well, if it's studies, then that's more important than some game.

But, I still can't wait for the BETA. Will you still be needing me as a BETA Tester?

 

[PikachuTrAiNeR]

Just to tell you, more screens today, had forgotten and was caught up in some IRC Server Stuff.
Map errors corrected and the 2nd Town looks better, the second route's also almost done, will be working on 3rd Town now.
You can go ahead and suggest names for the second town, based on the screens, the name chosen by me will be in the BETA. =)

@Marz: Thanks for bumping the topic; you reminded me of posting; you're still a BETA tester by the way. =D

 

[Pearlone]

That looks good i see patrs from GBC games (i mean GSC) All hacks here are great
