Pokemon Top Secret/Operative Version
 
Pokemon: Top Secret/Operative Version


http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f232/dragon__rage/Story.png
You are a 16 year old LegendLight trainee from the Orre division who has moved to the X region because your father has been transferred. He was a leading engineer in Orre, but now he's to help Prof. Thibault, the top engineer of Team LegendLight X division. Team LegendLight is a group of people who have been preventing The Legends of Darkness, a group of criminals, from capturing legendary Pokemon. You have been training to become a full fledged member for six years, but you couldn't obtain a Pokemon until now. You are to receive your first Pokemon from Profesor Thibault and go about completing minor missions. But there'll be obstacles and traps that will require badges and some surprises. The league is still, your rival is a fellow trainee, and there will be a third trainee. Profesor Thibault is the keeper of trainee Pokemon because your hometown, Mist Town, is a safe place.

New storyline(duh)
New OW's
New in battle sprites
New Pokemon
New Trainers and Gym Leaders
New Elite 4
New Region
New Teams
New Music

I could use someone to help me with each category of hacking: mapping, scripting, etc. Especially spriting and scripting. I'm getting the hang of scripting, but I'm not a sprite artist, other than OW's.

You really need to work on your mapping skills. There are heaps of mapping mistakes in each map.

Twinx January 1st, 2008 5:58 PM

...This should be in the scrap box

Your maps have serious errors. Try checking out the mapping tutorials.

When you want to take screenshots in AdvanceMap, just use the Print Screen function on your keyboard and paste and crop in paint.

I'm sorry to say that this needs more work. You should have done more work before posting this thread man.

Anyway, good luck I suppose...

you can also save maps in Advancemap by going to tools and Save map picture (you however need to change the format of the image from .dib to .png to upload. Just open in paint, go to save as and change it from Bitmap to PNG image

Erm.. You might wanna change that overworld sprite. It kinda looks umm weird. Also I'm sure everyone else has noticed that you have some tile errors in all of the maps. Try not to mix tiles just because they look cool :o. Other than that everything else looks ok.

destinedjagold January 1st, 2008 9:04 PM

Well.., I'm not impressed, though...
But the story seems very nice.., and I think it's the first time I heard Orre included in a hack...

But seriously, those tile errors hurts my eyes...

I wish you luck in improvement~

LastHand January 1st, 2008 9:29 PM

I'll map for you.... When there is a mess use where the rocket stole dig in cerulean.

Megiddo-san January 1st, 2008 9:37 PM

Yes. Thank you LastHand. I'll send you an ips tomorrow. I'm using my psp right now.

Caina January 1st, 2008 10:01 PM

......hmmm, the story is great. The OW looks cool...but, is that the hero talking to the old woman? And your maps..... well, it looks a bit creative but wrong tile usage... But I hope you can manage this hack. Keep it up... :)

Ok, the map starts to look good. I like the tiny houses. But you have a slight error on the center house on the edges of the roof. But, at least it's getting better and better. Keep it up! You have my support. Au Revoir...

Megiddo-san January 2nd, 2008 6:39 AM

Great. That can be Cedar Village, the second town. ips after school and I have computer limits now, so I can only be on for two hours on weekdays.

Teh Baro January 2nd, 2008 6:43 AM

The waterfall in the first map looks like a drawing by Escher (the guy who draws all those famous impossible stairs and that stuff), but the fact that you took a photo of it with a camera and it even has angle amazes me more.

Well, practice makes perfection. You need a lot of practice. And perfection too.

Ooka January 2nd, 2008 6:54 AM

It looks to me like you have some good ideas for maps, but appear to have mediocre mapping skills and no tile making skills at all. I suggest you work on those or find someone to do them for you.

(Not meant to be harsh, just the truth)

Binary January 2nd, 2008 6:59 AM

Very poor mapping skills,
The story looks fine from my perspective, but there are serious mapping errors in every screenshot. Hmm.....You need to improve, and I wish you the best of luck, cos you'll be needing it;)

Yes, I agree with EVERYONE that this has one of the worst maps... I think it's obvious, you can see that the tiles don't fit in the map correctly.
I guess this should go in the Scrapbox, maybe work on your mapping.

Virtual Chatot January 2nd, 2008 9:21 AM

Please consider working on your maps. You have good ideas but poor taste.

I suggest playing some ROM hacks developed here, they will give you ideas and show you actually what people expect in a hack.

LastHand January 2nd, 2008 8:40 PM

Everyone... Don't worry about the maps. I'm fixing what megiddo screwed up. I'm sending him an ips later so he can get the maps updated.

LastHand January 3rd, 2008 4:38 PM

How does every one like the fixed maps?

+Sneasel™ January 3rd, 2008 4:42 PM

Don't double post!

Whatever...

I think you did a good job (tile error on the brown thing on the first screenie)

I also think the 2nd room needs more things.

The 3rd picture, why did u use soo many refridgeraters?
And the 4 picture looks nice, like your everyday break in lol.

Nice job lasthand!

Megiddo-san January 3rd, 2008 5:45 PM

The fridges were my idea. They're supposed to be two drawer tool cases. I worked on the first, third, and fourth too.

M i n a t o // January 3rd, 2008 7:43 PM

Well I'll admit, they have improved a bit from the old ones. Though I still think you might wanna either change the building in the center of the first map or edit the tiles so that they fit with the mountain.

Megiddo-san January 3rd, 2008 8:04 PM

i think i'll edit them and kid nino, you can help too. itman1234 is my map rater, so my maps'll improve.
