Pokemon Island Mystery
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hack Name: Pokemon Island Mystery

Hack Of: Firered
Story: You are a bored child on the isle of Edica when one day as you travel into the forest you spot something in the clearing.
You rush over to see what it is when suddenly it disappears. Hmm thats strange, you think. You rush over to the town elders house to
tell him what happend. He tell's you that the thing that you saw was acctually a Celibi. He then tells you to go next door and grab the
Poke ball off the desk. When you return a strange man is there. The town elder tells you to run. You run out of the town and into the forest where you spot Celibi
It takes you through time to the past where you are both safe. But then a Pokemon scares Celibi off. Now you have to find Celibi and get back to your own time.

U Can Add More Detail To The Story And Other Important Things Like Feautres

pokemonforever27 August 3rd, 2008 5:00 AM

The story is a little vague, and the post doesn't really tell us much about the game. The story as it stands is a great start though. Since you're just beginning to learn hacking, visiting the "Documents And Tutorials" section is a great starting point. Good luck on this project.

Banjora Marxvile August 3rd, 2008 8:41 AM

Ok. 2 things:
1. You need to explain to us the story better, more described but noy giving things away
2. I can help if you want. I can help you be a mapper by reviewing any maps and making suggestions if you want me to. PM me if you want me to be a map reviewer or map creator.

EDIT: Ok, here is my first map for a Psychic Gym:

Surf August 4th, 2008 4:10 AM

pretty good what tile set did you use

Banjora Marxvile August 4th, 2008 4:30 AM

Tilesets used were 12 and 66 in Advance Map.

The Green Circles the leader, Yellow is help guy and red is trainers who are optional amount.

Cronos August 4th, 2008 4:59 AM

Hey I Can Be An Alpha/Beta Tester

Banjora Marxvile August 4th, 2008 5:57 AM

New Screenshot of the forest! Please tell me anything that could make it better!

Scyther X August 4th, 2008 12:20 PM

Yea i agree wit DW X, tha story needs more detail.

Surf August 5th, 2008 1:14 AM

Thats awsome all we need to do is work out how to insert tiles

Cronos August 5th, 2008 2:34 AM

Hey I Can Also Edit Some OWs,If You Want That It,I Can Recolor The Sprite

Banjora Marxvile August 6th, 2008 5:54 AM

New map screenshots. Inside of a Volcano. Please tell me of any improvements. All warps are color coded, so if 2 warps are the same color they connect (this could change in the hack creators eyes!)

hang on. The screenshot takes up toomuch memory. I've got an idea. Hackimon, i'm putting it as a zip file. You need to Extract it using WinRAR!

Surf August 6th, 2008 6:13 AM

you are freaky good with mapping

Banjora Marxvile August 6th, 2008 6:28 AM

Right, Now I've got the outside map for the volcano. it isn't that good. Its going onto the last post. It is only a template, so it may change. Both the inside volcano and the outside volcano maps are in the previous posts attachments as of now!

Surf August 6th, 2008 6:33 AM

Can i ask you a massive favor can you take over the mapping i have bearly started so if you dothe mapping and i do the scripting it will be easier

Cronos August 6th, 2008 6:33 AM

Umm You Can Do The Following,
Black,Red =Add More Rocks
Black,Green = Do Make This Area Filled With The Volcano Type Tiles To Make It Non Visible During Game Play
Thats All I Can Find

Right then. I've changed the maps. These are version 2 of the Volcano maps. I think they are better tan they were last time, but that's my opinion. They are in .zip because that's the only way I could put them on right now!

EDIT: I've changed the outside map, now its better than before!

Surf August 6th, 2008 1:34 PM

The outside's pretty good it might need something extra i just cant think what

Banjora Marxvile August 7th, 2008 2:16 AM

New Screenshots. You have to download them as I'm not allowed to use Photobucket. They are too big to be seperate attachments so they are in zip format. Anyway they are isles 1 and 2. feel free to comment!

Soul.//Silver August 7th, 2008 2:27 AM

The maps are too square, try not to make them square because it ruins the map. Go to the Documents and Tutorials section, they have a mapping tutorial there.

Banjora Marxvile August 7th, 2008 2:42 AM

Thanks for the advice. I've edited the maps (only by changing the land to make it look better.) I don't know if its worked, so please comment again!

EDIT: I've also created the first part of a Cave that could be added!

TheWicked August 7th, 2008 6:29 AM

ok nice hack well if will u let help i can map,andif u want tileset or a rom base just tellme and ill send it to u...can i use ur revival of the legend banner? pls remove the ''s '' in legends because jirachi will be awaken and he is singular,the thread will be up in this or next week

Chimchar 9 August 7th, 2008 6:42 AM

umm.. you shoulnt show maps screenshots are better well good luck

Surf August 10th, 2008 5:04 AM

Thanks for the advice as soon as we get the alpha up screens will come in

Surf August 12th, 2008 2:35 AM

were getting some good progress done

Banjora Marxvile August 12th, 2008 3:17 AM

A new map is done. This is the 2nd forest. The idea is the building could be like the Old Chateau from D/P. It can be haunted or lived in, depending on other peoples ideas. Please comment.

Sarcastic Prince August 12th, 2008 3:50 AM

Since these are islands, they should have some island tiles (Tropical Type).

Banjora Marxvile August 23rd, 2008 2:07 AM

Been a while since my last map, so I've made 2 to make up for it. They are like a haunted house interior for the house in the 2nd forest. I don't know how good it is to look at, but any comments would be appreciated! I am still working on these 2 maps, so please leave constructive criticism!

Big-Davey August 23rd, 2008 2:26 AM

I like how you're keeping the same tiles from the Mansion on Cinnabar - which still remains my favourite "dungeon" in the whole series, for the whole jump off map thing.

Banjora Marxvile August 23rd, 2008 2:31 AM

Thanks. I use them for 2 reasons. 1 its the only house tile that Wild Pokemon appear on that I know of and 2 I like the tiles too!

EDIT: I've improved the 2 house maps. The reason for all the books is that they could have been researching something when they all went missing... Good idea eh?

Cronos August 23rd, 2008 8:56 PM

Hey Bro You Can Add Many More You Know With Pokeball Sprites And A T.V In The Corner Will Be Nice

Surf August 24th, 2008 3:31 AM

HI everone i'm finally back so you can expect alot of progress now

Cronos August 24th, 2008 4:10 AM

Hey Im Ready To Edit OWs,What Would You Like It To Be?

Surf August 30th, 2008 12:20 AM

Beta one is now releaed please post any bugs

Very Nice...Hope I will play it :)

Surf August 30th, 2008 2:13 AM

cool thanks its thanks to turtwigtoon its out5 so early

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 2:17 AM

Really? Thanks to me? Wow... I wonder why... Anyway, not all thanks to me. You scripted it.

~DarkAchu~ August 30th, 2008 3:11 AM

how far does the beta go to , eg. 1st gym?

Surf August 30th, 2008 3:18 AM

I'M DOING THE FIRST GYM NOW SO I'LL RELEASE ANOTHER BETA TONIGHT

Caina August 30th, 2008 5:36 AM

It's nice to see this hack making so much progress, but. . . . uhmm. . . . I'm not satisfied really with the maps. . . . . there are many tile errors in the first post. or have you edited it? Anyway, keep up your progress. I can see your team has cooperation. ^^,

destinedjagold August 30th, 2008 5:41 AM

a pretty useless beta/alpha patch if I would say so myself.
what's the purpose of a beta if we're only going to our own room and cannot progress further?

also, the maps really need more work.
good luck with this hack project~

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 5:49 AM

The tile errors are just the border tiles. Hackimon, you've used the wrong tiles on the borderline! The real beta is tomorrow, that was a joke one made a few weeks ago.

Nope. Its not only the borderline. There are also tile errors around.... :\

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 6:12 AM

Is there? Can you point them out please so I can fix them for the future reference?

I've just realised, this is now in the Hacks Showcase.

Caina August 30th, 2008 6:17 AM

It's hard to say it. I'm so sorry. But in the first post, the cave. The tiles should be similar among the rest (maybe) . And the map with a House on the water, You should put some support underneath of it ( or are there no tiles available on that one) because the house would float away like that (lol) and the others, I can't seem to express it. :3

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 6:20 AM

The cave is a borderline issue as the cave isn't very big. As for the house, which one is that?... Actually, I know which one you mean. That's from FR. Where the boat sails to the isles.

the border tiles and the upper tiles do not match

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/2-1.png
the rocks are annoying a bit and the mountain has been cut.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/3-1.png
look closely.

http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/4-1.png
look closely...

Right, the cave is borderline issues, same with the blocked route. The cave entrance is like that because there are no Cave outer wallsin water tiles. The corner I forgot to edit because it was going to be all grass but I changed it, the trees I got the wrong tile by mistake, the rocks didn't have a partly on land, partly on sea, the gyms roof doesn't have a land edge tile underneath because there isn't a tile like that same with the flowers and the corner in the water seems fine to me, but I'll have fixed them by tomorow at least. that 2nd screen I've not made anyway, so not me who did it.

Caina August 30th, 2008 6:28 AM

Anyway, mistakes happen. ^^ Hoping to see the re-edited maps. Good luck. :3

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 6:35 AM

I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm going to send screenies to Hackimon of the re made maps.

I see.
then good luck with this hack project then.

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 6:45 AM

The screenies have been sent. the only unfixed tile errors are the caves outer wall in Isle 1. That cannot be changed. Thanks for the comments. They are the only comments I've actually received that are about tile errors...

The maps are edited. READ THIS: I cannot change the mountain edges on map 1! There are no tiles that I can find with them on water!

Platinum994 August 30th, 2008 8:05 AM

good, but I don't like the original tiles of red fire...

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 8:13 AM

We do have a Tropical Rom Base apparently (I don't know if we do now...), however I made the maps before we received it. If we still have it... If not, you'll have to just put up with them.

deadlyangel91792 August 30th, 2008 9:42 AM

yea i think you guys should go with tropical looks to plain right now

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 9:56 AM

We hope to. Hackimon said he has a tile base, so he might use it. I created my maps before he told me he had one, so that's why they are like this.

Chimchar 9 August 30th, 2008 10:04 AM

this is just like a normal fire red game where are the new maps?

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 10:06 AM

... Sorry? Can you please explain?

well i start in pallet town am i supposed to?and the maps hardly have any changes to them .

Banjora Marxvile August 30th, 2008 10:43 AM

... I don't know about that. Did you download it from the first page and can you leave the room. i leave hackimon in charge of the putting together. I'm just the mapper.

Surf August 30th, 2008 1:05 PM

yes you start in pallet town and the entrance to the island is up the top of viridian

I'm Adding in new scripts and changing what everyone says so it makes more sense

UPDATE:
Maps are being put in and Beta 1 looks set for realease on the weekend

Banjora Marxvile September 4th, 2008 2:46 AM

Yay! A beta will be released that isn't all in one room! Anyway, progress on mapping will be slower next week as I return to school on the Wednesday!

iEdster September 4th, 2008 3:46 AM

Like the others say, You need to put more details to explain the story better.
It seems intresting though.
If you work on it well, I am sure the results will be good.

Cronos September 4th, 2008 5:38 AM

Hey To Get The Tropical Rombase Just Save All The Maps Then Just Insert Them

Surf September 10th, 2008 1:47 PM

MEH I'LL TRY TO FIND SOME TROPICAL TILES BUT 4 NOW I'M GOING TO WORK ON THE SCRIPTING

Banjora Marxvile September 13th, 2008 2:18 AM

Don't worry too much about the tiles. The scripting is more important. If scripting is rushed, it won't be as good!

Surf September 13th, 2008 2:19 AM

You have a point Turtwigtoon
BTW: New screenes coming soon

Surf September 13th, 2008 4:03 PM

Everyone the first Beta is officially up now
So if you find any bugs please report them here

Ineffable~ September 13th, 2008 5:06 PM

It sounds good, but that may just be bcuz of my weakness for Johto starters. :P
But a few tips: Change story a little to make it more interesting. AND NO SINNOH POKEMON!
Please! Instead of inserting Piplup, can you insert IncrediblyUnoriginal? It used to be new,
but now in newer AG hacks, Sinnoh pokemon are in there more often than not.
It's just stupid.

Wenrare September 17th, 2008 6:52 PM

I will Beta test as well, i was playing your released hack... and for some reason when i give oak the parcel... after Gary (RIVAL) leaves it makes flying pokemon sounds and i am unable to move!

HOLY! I JUST TALKED TO A GUY AND THE ROM IMAGE CRASHED!!!!

THEN I REBOOTED AND I WALKED INSIDE A HOUSE CAME OUT AND I APPEARED IN CERULEAN!?!? WTF IS HAPPENING! WAAAAAAAAH!

Wow, i rebooted AGAIN and i walk into another house, only to discover im now at Island 2! then i walked into the cave and back and then im at Island 1 again!

Then i walked through a sign, Into a cave which i cant exit from.... seriously.... wtf...

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!! THEN I WALK INSIDE THE POKEMART AT ISLAND 2 WALKED OUT AND I APPEARED IN A GLITCHED UP PEWTER CITY!!!!! AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGG!!!! Well i hope all this glitch reporting is helping you....

Seriosly fix these, glitches freak me out sometimes!

braverichie September 17th, 2008 7:25 PM

Im gonna try this hack it looks fun.

Wenrare be nice how would you like it if people just started yelling at you in cap locks. be nice about telling about glitchs and improvements that are needed.

Edit: strange i cant go into the house that leads to somewhere. it's in the place where you got the parcel that should lead to the forest but im guessing doesnt lead to the forest anymore XD

Banjora Marxvile September 18th, 2008 8:01 AM

Another map for you all... I don't think this one is very good. I think it's missing something, but any comments would be nice!

Whats wrong with the mapping, or do you just not like it?

Well for now this hack is officially quit because nearly halve the people that voted hate it and i can script better now so it's just going to look wierd

Shadows September 30th, 2008 4:01 PM

Another quit hack...
Thats a shame...
I hate it when hackers quit...
At least keep a backup, incase you wanna come back to this.
Thats what I did with a ruby hack I was going to do, but cannot b/c I'm too use to FR.

Yakuzaku35 October 1st, 2008 9:31 PM

Nice Good Job I Like this hack
good luck ok im playing it now ^^

Surf October 1st, 2008 9:37 PM

Alright i have reached an ultimatum
if there are enough yes votes ( say 36) i will continue this hack.
But that means it will be restarted fully so the beta up there will be old got it?
Ok

Banjora Marxvile October 4th, 2008 5:31 AM

So, trying it on your own? Good luck. It will take longer to finish and also be harder, but good luck.

Wenrare October 4th, 2008 9:29 AM

You wanna know something? DONT CARE ABOUT THOSE VOTES! It only matters what you think, and your friends think of what your doing, I, think its great but needs some work, and i kinda state my reasons back on page 3, it is still a lot of fun anyway! I think once finished it will be teh awesomes! XD

Banjora Marxvile October 4th, 2008 9:33 AM

He is still continuing, but on his own. Basically, he's fired everyone... So my mapping won't bother people who read this hack anymore.

An OW can only be good if it has Black or Brown Outlines.

Pyromaniac45 October 14th, 2008 6:18 AM

in the water, the rocks don't look too nice. they look as if someone just dropped them there. in nature, the rocks would be randomly placed (or at least look like it.), so what you should do is spread the rocks out a bit, but still keep a barrier. That's what I think anyways ^_^

oh thats the border
any way thanks for the tip

Pyromaniac45 October 14th, 2008 6:38 AM

hey, I just started the beta, and I'm thinking you really need a beta tester or two. even if just to point out the small errors that pop up. Like texting errors. Texting errors are easy to miss. so you should think about hiring a few beta testers to help you out a bit.

Pyromaniac45 October 14th, 2008 6:47 AM

when you first enter the mystery islands, if you talk to the old man south of the pokecenter, then the game freezes...

sorry for the double post.
