Project X
 
1 Attachment(s)
Okay, you've probably been wondering where I have been for the last 6 months. You may have noticed that Pokemon: Hokum Trilogy has been discontinued due to lack of support and help. That isn't anyone's fault it's just GBA hacks are more "wanted". This is exactly the reason why I have been working on a hack behind the scenes. I didn't want anybody involved. I'm not going to give too much away either just a few details so you can get a rough view of what I hope for.

Introduction
On my second run through Pokemon Brown, it got me thinking. Hacking. Where did it all start? I looked through my drawers of stuff I used to make when I was younger and pulled out a small cardboard box. Inside was tons of paper drawings of fake pokemon, maps of towns and cities that dont exist, scrap paper of storylines and plots. I hadnt opened this box since I was 8 years old.
I set to work...

Version
Pokemon Red - Yes, I've gone totally old school.

Plot
The scene is set at the same time as Brown and Red's storys occur. A young female who lives on Obst Island is late for her school. She quickly rushes from Möhre Town - Where she lives - to Erdbeer Village. As she enters the village she is stopped by a schoolfriend called [Rival's name]. They quickly run to the school to pick up their Pokedex and their first Pokemon. When they get there they are confronted by an angry teacher called Miss Blume.
The story unfolds from there...

Features
Catch 201 Pokemon (not a typo)
Every map has changed (even just one tile)
All text is changed
New tiles
A visit to a personal favourite region

Hehe, Let's just say that I am replacing the glitch pokemon with real pokemon. I'm afraid I have no clue how to add/change pokemon pics, I hope to get your help on that one ;)

Hat? October 25th, 2008 8:09 AM

Ah, well in theory I think it looks pretty simple to add them if you look at the ROM Map on Data Crystal, but seeing as the Pokemon use some sort of non-English documented compression (and I haven't much ASM experience) I don't know if that's possible. Maybe someone with that sort of experience might be able to help, because I wouldn't mind adding a few Pokemon too.

~Red October 25th, 2008 8:13 AM

But you did it for your hack lol. You changed charmander's pic XD

Zeikku™ October 25th, 2008 8:14 AM

That's pretty neat, Never hacked red properly, But I'm pretty good with graphics XD
so if ya ever needed those done just ask

Hat? October 25th, 2008 8:16 AM

That's not pixel art I made myself though! That was transferring compressed data from a game which uses the same compression and then repointing it, because I thought it would be nice to have the Yellow pics in there.

~Red October 25th, 2008 8:21 AM

Anyone know where i could get Redmap and PokeText? Map editing with HEX is H-A-R-D.

Hat? October 25th, 2008 8:33 AM

Presea's tools has them tools! But I'd say using a hex editor for text editing in a GB/C game gives more control.

~Red October 25th, 2008 9:56 AM

hmm, looking for a tileset editor. Sorry about this, my folder got deleted (thus Hokum Trilogy failing).

EDIT: Another problem, does anyone know the pointers for the hero's house interior? I want to change the warp when exiting the house...

EDIT2: First screenshot:

Yeah, nice screenshot!

You can use TLP to edit tilesets and offsets for F1-2 of Ash's house will be on Data Crystal's ROM map.

A Red Hack? Wow, that's great. I hope you can finish it. You use ASM + plus some tools to hack Red right?
I wish you the best of luck on it.

The only tools i will use is probably a mix of Redmap/Pokemap and a Hex Editor (not sure about ASM but im trying to find some tutorials today).

I've fixed up the trees a little bit:

Update: I have just done the Titlescreen! (I know it says Red version, I havent thought of a name yet hehe)

Bibliophibian October 27th, 2008 6:51 AM

the screens look awesome, and i love the fact that it's a red hack.
not to mention that it has a girl character, and the titlescreen is all kinds of nifty.

best of luck with this!

Thanks!! Do you know what? Because you caught me in a good mood, and I've had it tested by my Beta Tester, I'm going to put the link up for beta v1 in the first post!!!

Hiche.. October 27th, 2008 7:37 AM

The beta is nice :D
The title screen is well done. You see to have put a lot of effort on it .
Good luck on this project.

Danke! Sie sind Art! ;)

There are a few bugs in the beta, i cannot fix them all. Also, there is a way into the grass in Route 1 but I'm not going to tell you how hehe.

Hiche.. October 27th, 2008 7:49 AM

Gern geschehen ;)

I know little bit Germany, since I am not a German, I live there :D
Anyways, I didn't play the whole beta, where does it end?

You can only visit 3 outside maps. Mohre Town, Erdbeer Village and Route 1. I eventually plan to add in the first gym to Mohre Town, that way you can buy Cut from the Mart and give it to a Pokemon and be able to use it. If you want to access the grass in Route 1, I've given instructions in spoilers (if you want to find out yourself, dont click it):

Spoiler:
Step One: There is a guy at Route 1 that mentions jumping over small rocks. Notice he says "rocks" not "ledges".
Step Two: There is some rocks outside The School.
Step Three: The far right rock can be hopped over. Just walk into it.
Step Four: Now follow the road towards the north to reach the grass.
Step Five: To get out, there is a ledge next to your Friend's house.


For all you advance hungry fans...

Any ideas on the name of the hack?

I like the new tile tree. Nice job inserting the new cut tree also. :D

Ok, that narrows it down alot. Here is the list now:

Pokemon Mauve
Pokemon Wisteria
Pokemon Floral


Have you noticed anything about the tree tile? And the cut trees?

Hiche.. October 28th, 2008 6:08 AM

You changed them right? or not?
If you did, then they are great. I didn't play Red actually.

Hehe, I ripped the trees and the cut trees from the same game...

That may give you a clue...

I've only done this so some advance players would give it a try.
By the way, I submitted this to Hacks Showcase.

Christos October 28th, 2008 6:39 AM

Since you now have a thread in Hacks Showcase, I'll close this.
