Just letting everyone know, I'll be in DC until March 10th, and I can't bring my laptop, so I'll be out of touch :\
See you in four days!

Oh, forgot to ask one thing, what size do you want it to be?

Okay, I'll get right onto it.

What are the results of the Rock Smash special? I'm interested :P

Sure, but could you give me some more details?
I'm not sure what exactly to map.

Oops, I thought you said tiles instead of scripts. XD

Well, you're a pretty great hacker, yourself. It's uncommon to see a hacker who can script for themselves as soon as they release their hack (as opposed to those who post a thread with intentions of learning, but still seeking scripters). I mean, most of us, like me, can work with maps and graphics, but only have basic, if no scripting knowledge. Being able to script for yourself is more efficient, it means you have almost total control over the hack's progress (unless you're waiting on a job from someone else ^^').
I know, I understand why you wouldn't want to include visual gore- that can stop you from winning awards, I think, and while that wouldn't be my first priority, it's nice to know you have a chance, right?
Yeah, eye candy is great:D my hack has a snowy town, called Glacidea Town, and just for the sake of it, I have a Snow-lax. As in a Snorlax made of snow. A little guy standing in front of it says "Hey, check out what I made!", lol. I dunno, it seemed like original eye candy at the time, so.. Yeah.
Anyway, that's cool, I love manipulating the existing tiles, too- although unfortunately the Emerald tiles are all generally yuck, and the existing secondary tiles don't go with my inserted ones at all, so.. Yeah, total replacement is needed.
Oh, yeah, Emerald is great. You just need to make a crapload of backups, as occasionally random things go wrong- such as the voicegroups, the music generally goes a bit crazy.
For the title screen.. That wouldn't look weird, I think it'd be cool, but I dunno if it's possible to have separate things flashing... You could have some letters "embedded" into the background, and the others flashing, so for example you'd always see H D E T E, but the I D N I S would flash on and off, filling the words. That's about as close as you could get, I think.
And for Tentakill, cool, make him strong :P I always thought the evo line wasn't great, I mean Tentacruel are generally easy to beat, but.. With better speed and attacks like Crunch, it'd be pretty formidable. Oooh yeah, I love when moves are edited- Constrict should be improved, definately. With Bind, I'm surprised it's not decent already. They're both essentially the same, save for Bind's extra "damage".
Wow, they're sort of alarming now. This is exactly 2303 characters long...

Lol, I think you'll find your VMs grow steadily longer the more you talk to me. It genuinely happens to everybody else who talks to me, strangely, haha. Ok, so no more saying.. That name. Good. Although.. There's a post in the thread where you said the name, a good while ago. Maybe look for that and edit it too, just in case some brainiac decides to go rooting.
And also..

Thank you, that was a cool nice thing to say:)
Anyway, I suggested the blood because.. Well, you know, after all those people being killed in the Utopia Project HQ, I didn't really think blood mattered, lol. Although, scary/ominous doesn't have to be bloody/gory, so it's all good:D
Anyway, I've sent him a VM asking, I'm sure he'll say yes, as he's awesome, as I said. I wouldn't think he's thought too much about the stats or movepool, either, and I've never thought about it at all, so I'm assuming it's fine in that regard too.
About the title screen... I'm not really sure you can do that with Fire Red. By fading, you mean like the ancient lines would on Groudon/Kyogre/Rayquaza's body on an RSE Title screen, right? I'm not sure the FR Screen supports that- you can make it flash, alright, but it's not a steady fade-in-fade-out thing, it just flashes, which would look pretty... Meh, compared to fading.
With regards to the tree... Ah, if only you said that a few weeks ago, lol. Well, actually... That tree is the region's main tree, used everywhere. But, thanks to Emeralds excessive amounts of secondary tilesets, almost every town has it's own type of tree. Although I'm thinking of having the same secondary tree in each tileset, as it'll be a heck of a lot easier to manage, lol.

Meh, Tiling isn't my department(I never learned), so I don't have to worry about that happening.
When I want nice new tiles, I use a rombase, or ask someone to insert them for me.

Haha, really? Tentakill.. Well, if you want it, I suppose that should be alright, lol. I'll have to ask Pokeyomama, as it's his concept, just my art, but he's awesome, so he should be fine with it.
Well... Ok, I'll make a pic showing you the steps to do it. Text alone makes it a bit complex, but with picture's you can actually see what's involved, rather than just read.
And yeah, Hex Workshop is good, but I've already used the 30-day trial, unfortunately, so it's expired and I can't use it unless I buy the full one (which I can't do as I haven't got proper internet anyway)
<explanation- I use my mobile phone's internet for everything. When I send files to you, I port them to my phone via USB, and upload them that way. When I download files (tools, graphics, the betas from you and such) it's vice versa- I download them to my phone, and transfer them to my PC>
Anyway, that sounds like a cryptic title screen, I like the idea:) although you'd want a bit more in it, right? I mean.. On a cave wall with blood dripping down, or something?! Lol, I dunno. No rush, anyway.
Ah, I'm glad I'm actually getting feedback on that screenshot, lol (I didn't really post it in expectance, I just wanted a teaser. It's cool that I'm getting it, though- first chrunch, now you:D)
thank's, I'm personally proud of my trees. I wanted DP Trees, but not ones that totally filled out the 32x48 pixels, as they looked bad when they were beside each other. So I just.. Sprited my own tree, lol. All tiles in my hack will be sprited by me, or ported from Fire Red (but that's really just the gatehouse and that's it).
Also, the waterfall.. I noticed that myself, it does look a bit strange, like it's coming out from the wall- but I think that's just how you map waterfalls. I looked at the Ever Grand City map, and.. Its waterfall is the same. However, you're idea rocks, and I may do that. I'd have to duplicate the Waterfall tiles so they'd cover the player, but.. Still, that's a brilliant idea. And have an NPC nearby complaining that there's no way to proceed:D Yay, ideas:P Thanks for that.
Anyway, I'll bear you in mind. I'm doing ALL maps first, then moving on to scripting (which I've to learn properly). I've also replaced every Emerald OW with the Fire Red ones (an hour of my life I'll never get back), so it's basically an overhaul on the graphics- I kinda thought Emerald needed it.
Actually, I've found a way you may be able to help me. Remember a month or so ago, I told you about- nah, I'll PM you, lol:D

No, you're not a jerk, you had said before you'd be changing something- this was just a preview of the style I'd be using, and whether you wanted me to change it or not.
The Big towns/cities are custom, and have to be. I mean, I could just magnify the normal one like you did, but they'd still have to go in as separate tiles when making a tilemap. (I kinda have an idea on how to insert it, but I'd have no way to change the colours, as my only hex editor, Translhextion, is crapping out on the Search function, which I need for it to be actually useful. I can't seem to find any others, so that's why I made no promise to insert it).
Anyway, Zorua and Zoroark...
Personally, I wouldn't. All that's known about them is their type, basically, so you'd be plucking stats and movesets from thin air. However, if you think you could fit them into the story or something, then I'll insert them definately. But if it were me, I wouldn't insert them just for the sake of it.
Then again, if you just want them for the sake of it, that's fine too, and I will.
I've also to insert Chatot, remember? Maybe.. Make a list of all the things needed for next beta, send it on with a patch, then I'll do them and test for you. That'll be the handiest way.
(if you really want to insert the Zorua line, I hope I haven't dissuaded you or anything. It's only my opinion- your hack, your Pokemon. I'm just here to do what's needed:)
Oh, and thanks for the comment on Tentakill.:) My friend, Pokeyomama, said he'd love to see a Tentacruel evo, and I had free time one day, so.. Yeah, there's the result. I'm glad anyone who looks at it likes it, lol.
I haven't seen you around for a good while, good to talk to you again :D
EDIT: Oh, by the way... Have you been thinking about a Title Screen? I could work on one for you, if you had any ideas?

Hi:)
i've got a nice, but unfortunately currently useless surprise for you in my "My Stuff" Album. The second most recent picture should interest you:D

Oh, about Pokemon Insurrection, did it blow up because of inserting DP Pokemon?
Since you said in Toxic Purple and Elite Quest threads, last time you inserted sinnoh Pkmn, your rom blew up.

I HATE it when that happens.
My first hack did that to me, before I joined PC.

Thanks.

It seems to happen constantly to me. :/
My Spiritomb's Revenge Rom did that, as well as Elite Quest once, before I posted the thread.

You might have to wait a bit more for that Celadon sized map.
I'd almost finished it yesterday, when the rom blew up on me.

no need for that. lol. i like making banners, thats why i made 1 for u. and how is the hack going on?

Okay, I'll PM you with it.

I have no idea what else to do then...
Maybe you could send me the patch and I can insert the map?

Thank you trebornosliw i did not know that? thanks for telling me!
