Snakebyte July 22nd, 2012 12:47 AM

I genuinely have no idea how to do that, I've never looked into it. Could you VM/PM me an explanation? Just the scripting part... Ideally, I'd just add a script to the mother.

I just kept using revives and full restores.

Haha! congrats pal. now you can make a trip around zhery and lauren to battle steve,cynthia and the male hero from b/w (don't remember his name) or catch legendaries otherwise your done with it

krisye July 22nd, 2012 2:14 AM

Great hack, I had fun playing it, untill the league. Scared by the high levels :)

Snakebyte July 22nd, 2012 4:53 AM

A 1.2 update is coming!

It will have:

- Working wild encounters in Mt. Draken and Mt. Winter (but I'll leave the Gible and Bagon in Mt. Shuem, because dragons are nice)
- Healing script in Yellow Town.
- Correct Pokedex entries for Gen 4 and 5 pokemon (maybe, I don't even think the 27 extra Pokemon can have entries).

I should be able to make dex entries for everything but Virizion, Reshiram, the Unova dragons, and the Unova and Sinnoh starters.

EDIT: Emboar no longer evolves into Scolipede! Other evolution problems that may or may have shown up in-game with Sinnoh/Unova starters and Unova dragons have also been fixed!

Seems legit xd
I'll try finishing the pokedex ^^

So is anyone going to make a updated version of it, to fix the bugs??

SonicBlazePlatinum July 22nd, 2012 6:51 PM

When I finish Flora Sky I plan on playing Snakebyte's Light Platinum updated translation to see the changes. Also the X version will be continued in August. It should take 19 days, 16 for each gym leader, two for the Zhery and Lauren Leagues and one for the World Tournament. Then in September I'll beta test it which should take a week. I don't know when it will be released, but I will take my time and try not to rush things.

Hermione Granger July 22nd, 2012 7:57 PM

Will anything be done for keeping the people from being able to cross the water in the boat before getting their second badge, since if you don't get that badge your going to be stuck at Mt. Shuem?

Snakebyte July 22nd, 2012 8:43 PM

The what now? What boat, what water?

Hermione Granger July 22nd, 2012 9:03 PM

rt. 407 is the route where u take the boat to cross the lake.

XeroNos July 23rd, 2012 1:24 AM

Looks like you have really gave your heart and soul to the translation thanx to Sarcasm prince.. By looking at your update, I need to tweak my walkthrough quite a lot. But its OK and good to see the fixed errors. As for my walkthrough its near Zhery's Elite Four.

By the way what will be edited or changed more. I need to know because of my walkthrough.

spartan1999 July 24th, 2012 12:21 AM

uh hey guys where do you get the old rod in light platinum cuz i thought that feebas evolved through max happiness in this game but then when i looked this up i realized it evolved via the water stone so i missed that chance so can u tell me where the old rod is so i can catch another

So LP X will be a harder version of the game? LP's sudden difficulty drop after the 3rd gym was one of the game's worst flaws. Another thing, just to make sure, will LP X also have the updated translation? LP's ordinary English translation was sort of bland and felt like it was rushed.

Cybermew July 27th, 2012 3:24 AM

Does anyone have any idea why I can't get into the Safari Zone at all? I keep trying and yet it just gives me the script as if I'd answered No.

Well Snakey has tried hard to fix errors and on translation. I don't think anyne has complains left...

StarkePkMn July 27th, 2012 3:51 AM

Going to replay this again and see what's new.

MegaJ007 July 27th, 2012 10:20 AM

I played Light Platinum before, and I am just wondering if Swinub can evolve into Mamoswine. Sorry if this has already been posted, but in my last play of the game, it didn't.

lukasz_pro July 27th, 2012 12:58 PM

The translation (not the actual hack) is waiting for it's version 1.2 release as it fixes a few bugs from the original and has some translation corrections that Snakebyte wanted to include

lukasz_pro July 27th, 2012 1:26 PM

ok i will not dl 1.1 , i will wait for 1.2 :P

There won't be too many differences between 1.1 and 1.2. I think a healing script in Yellow Town and the fix of the Pokemon encounters in 2 caves that previously did not work correctly due to tile behaviour. So, you can play 1.1 and use the same save for 1.2, as there are no more major edits... Most chances.

Gondriano July 27th, 2012 3:03 PM

Hey snakebyte...i really enjoyed playing LP, but when i came to lauren and had to deal with all these flag Bugs the Game suddenly felt unfinished and remembered me that it is only a fanmade game...is there any chance you can fix these? i dont know much about hacking, so i dont know how much work this would be, but without these bugs the game would be unforgettable...

snakebyte has already clarified that those are not being fixed, as they are not game breaking errors, and if this was to be done it would be a hideous job trying to fix them.

Nope the only thing new for you I think of is to check out New pokes in two mountains when SnakeByte releases the 1.2 beta of it.

There aren't really new Pokemon as in the 1.1 release Snakebyte had moved the special ones (Gible and... I dunno the other) to the entry of a different cave (I think it was Shuem... The place where you first use Lava Surf anyway) as he didn't know how to fix it until I looked at the ROM for a second, so technically in the 1.1 release, every Pokemon is there.

if i'm not mistaken your going to have to backtrack through the cave you just went through to the beginning of the cave where the gym leader is will be and then you should find the gym leader at the end of the cave, after talking to the gym leader there, the gym leader should then go back to the gym.

Why Dosen't the RAR file patch properly?
 
Hey, i've tried downloading & patching this awsome hack, but it goes white as soon as i open it on my vba. I use vba 1.6, if thats a problem. Please help!

Very nice, I like it a lot. Thank you for putting your hard time into making this!

Draco Miles X July 30th, 2012 1:39 AM

@Team Scizor try copying the .sav from the working game on your computer to your superdstwo

@drich999 go to Options > Emulator > Save Type and select Flash 128k in your vba and restart vba and remove the .sav first

XeroNos July 30th, 2012 3:48 AM

I can help there too. PM me your mail addresses I will send the ROM to you. haa haa

Each ROM has limited amount of Fly Spaces.
It's that reason why you cannot fly there. There are no fly spaces.

Excuse me? It wasn't 'bland' or 'rushed'. I translated everything into English--if you're not satisfied with the dialogue, that's not my problem. It's not my job to spice up the dialogue or write new, more 'exciting', lines. That is the dialogue that exists in the game. Take it up with the game's creator if you have a problem with this instead of trying to insult my work.

It would be possible for me to fix this, however, it would be really difficult, because it's been a year since I translated this and I don't remember which flags I used, where I stopped fixing bugs, how everything interconnected, etc. It'd take a lot of time to refamiliarize myself with the game and find every reference to everything I changed so that the scripts still functioned. I haven't had any reports of events not working in Lauren, just events repeating, so because of that I'm probably not going to bother doing this.

To put this into layman's terms... A lot of the scripts activate the next script. So, say, after fighting a rival... it'll trigger the next rival battle, and it knows to do that by a unique variable. So, say, (I totally forget what the actual numbers are), one activates flag 4005 or whatever. I'd have to not just change the flag in the event, but find which previous event activates it, and change that to the same thing. And I'd have to do that for pretty much every script in Lauren. And I'd probably have to play through the game again, because if I mess up one link in that chain, it WILL be unplayable. At the end of 4005 will activate 4006, so I'd have to change that to say 3CA1 and 3CA2, then find the 4006 event and change that to 3CA2, which'll activate 4007 -> 3CA3... etc.

So you can see why I'm not really eager to do that, I hope. Nothing I've changed in this past update or the next one will require me to play through the game again, it's all minimal-to-no testing required.

Also, I hope you realize that these aren't MY errors... they're Wesley's errors. I don't mind fixing what I can, but I also don't feel obligated to bend over backwards to fix what really shouldn't be my responsibility, y'know?

But, anyway. I'm going to add a couple of other things, but this probably won't be one of them. I hope you still enjoy the game. :)

There are only so many fly points in the game. This is a GBA rom limitation or something like that, and can't be overcome. Wesley put two regions into a base game that was only designed for one. You'll just have to deal with it, sorry. :)

Also, I just got internet access back, and I couldn't do any more work on it without internet because I didn't have access to the Gen 4/5 pokedex entries that I was going to try to insert. 1.2 is still on track, I'm still alive, and I'll just power through it the next time I get bored. It's about half done, and it'll likely be the final update I make to the game.

I'll take a look into the boat thing, and if anyone else has any issues that need fixing beyond 'halp i can't patch dis' or 'lol lauren is buggy', let me know and I'll see what I can do.

1.2 won't fix anything major though, there's no reason not to play 1.1 if you want to start now. It'll add pokedex entries (probably), a healing script in yellow town, wild encounters in two caves that don't work, and it'll fix a glitch involving Unova starters--Nothing really essential to playing at all, more just extra polish. 1.1 took care of the only major gameplay issue I was aware of, that being the messed up XP from various species of pokemon.

@Snake: Would you mind if I tried to fix bugs if I had time to do it by editing your translated version?

Yeah, if you want to have a go at editing Lauren, go ahead. Just wait until I put out my final version and use that as a base. All that should need doing is changing all the flags in Lauren to something different. I was using values in the high 3000s for Zhery, but I don't remember the exact ones I used... so you'd have to figure out which flags are free, too. I tended not to change a flag unless it didn't work properly, and I didn't notice any issues in Lauren on my own playthrough, though evidently other people are.

I'm just paranoid about creating more bugs, since that happened a lot when I was trying to fix Zhery. That and lazy. :)

As I already stated, there's not enough fly spots in one ROM so you just cannot =D

I see... okay. Those high flags will be obvious enough...
I'll try to use "character" flags (those with A, B, C, D, E, F) so I guess it'll be good to go.
Okay. I'll wait for that version, do a playthrough and check if there are any remaining bugs.

I don't know. What are you doing wrong? What emulator are you using? Try deleting the .sa1 or .sav file if VBA?

I'm using an Android GBA emulator. There's no .sa1 or .sav; just the LIPS-patched ROM.

That's a very good question and I'm honestly not sure. I'm pretty sure there isn't a special item for it, but there might be an NPC hidden somewhere that does it. Or there might not.

Anyone know the answer to this one?

Oh xD That wasn't in the first post (bold implies it was obvious somewhere...)

OK, will try to figure it out, or go to VGA :)

Snakebyte August 2nd, 2012 4:57 PM

It was in both of the release posts that I made, which are linked in my signature. Not being Wesley, I didn't make the first post.

Thanks Snake.I just wanted to evolve Pichu.And i hope that there is a way

for that.

Satoshi Ookami August 3rd, 2012 1:32 AM

Well in the original Ruby there was a NPC that checked the happiness in Verdantuf Town... I believe Wes used some original maps so the NPC should be present...
I don't have ROM with me right now so I cannot check it with A-Map...

Pichu will evolve into Pikachu in about level 25-30. Mine did...

Mathula August 3rd, 2012 4:07 AM

Thank you guys.I really struggled with that.

Snakebyte August 3rd, 2012 9:47 PM

Alright, I just added a healing NPC to Yellow Town, where the Shinx on the bench used to be.

The downside is, Wesley was very inconsistent about reusing scripts, so that means some other Shinx may randomly heal you instead of making Shinx noises. I went through and grabbed most of them, but I don't remember where every Shinx everywhere in the game is... So if anyone runs into a magic healing fairy Shinx in 1.2, let me know and I'll fix it. xD

I've just got to sit down and go through the tedium of fixing the Pokedex entries now. Everything else is done.

EDIT: Half-done the Pokedex entries. I'll only be fixing the Unova ones because they're just completely wrong, Wesley's grammar-problem-Sinnoh-ones will stay because editing these the way I have to do it to avoid all the bugs forever is a massive *****.

Satoshi Ookami August 4th, 2012 1:11 AM

You should have left those Shinx there xD
It would be awesome to find such an easter eggs xD

By the way why didn't you add another character instead of using Shinx's script?

Snakebyte August 4th, 2012 9:14 AM

I've gone through this entire thing without adding a single script or doing a single repoint and due to how many crazy glitches there are I'm trying very hard to keep it that way. It's probably just me being unnecessarily cautious, but given what happened to your and SP's translation attempt, and that the same thing happened to mine several times until I started doing it this way... maybe it isn't. And Shinx was the only nonessential script large enough for me to add healing to without making it bigger than it was before, as the cry stuff was in there.

There's... a pretty good chance there's still a magic Shinx fairy somewhere. I checked all the major cities and some of the routes, but there's probably more Shinx inside some buildings, and 60-70% of the Shinx I found used the script I cannibalized while the others had new ones, so...

God the coding is a mess ._.;

That said, I've got something to do today, but I can probably have the final version up tonight or tomorrow.

rpg man August 4th, 2012 5:54 PM

Um...When I talked to rayquza it turned to be a shiny enter...!

Is this a glitch?

Cyclone August 4th, 2012 6:45 PM

Regarding Pichu evolving into Pikachu, per its article...

Quote:

It evolves into Pikachu when leveled up with high friendship, which evolves into Raichu when exposed to a Thunderstone.
If you have not been friendly to it, such as it constantly fainting in battle or you giving it medicinal herbs and such that it doesn't like, then you will not be able to evolve it.

My advice: catch another and try again. You'll never evolve it now since it can't level up any further.

This should be my final update to Light Platinum!

This will only work if patched to a Ruby 1.0 ROM.

The patch is too large to upload as an attachment, so I've Sendspaced it again.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/6swelg

Edit: Mediafire mirror: http://www.mediafire.com/?5sti7px30yi7al3

If you get a white screen, you are using the wrong rom, or your emulator is not correctly set. Turn VBA off, delete the Light Platinum.sa1 or .sav file, turn VBA back on, go to Options -> Emulator -> Save Type -> Flash 128k, turn VBA off again, then turn it back on and load the rom once more. If that doesn't work, you are not using a Ruby 1.0 Rom. When looking for it, googling '0907 Ruby 1.0 (U)' might help. I found one on 4shared.

I will not answer any questions about how to make this work on a phone, PSP, or anything that isn't Visual Boy Advance!

Updates (1.1 & Final):
- All Pokemon except Venipede's line now have the correct base experience and catch rates. Venipede giving tons of experience was something fun and memorable to me, so though it's not as much as before, they still give way more experience than they should.
- Kenta has been renamed to Gold, and is correctly referred to as Oak's assistant, not his nephew.
- Pokemon that were unavailable in Mt. Draken due to the wild encounters not working there will now show up in Mt. Shuem (the first area where you use Lava Surf), with Gible in the first area, and Bagon in the final one.
- Rayner (I think that's the correct name? The Serenity gym leader) will now always show up in the Power Plant. One or two text errors were fixed as well, and Growlithe can now learn HM05 Lava Surf. I did this for Tyranee's Let's Play months ago and never posted it.
- Unova Pokemon now have appropriate Pokedex entries, usually a slightly edited one combined from both Black and White due to space constraints.
- A serious glitch involving Emboar and possibly other Unova or Sinnoh starters has been fixed.
- The wild encounters in Mt. Draken and Mt. Winter now work properly, but I will be leaving Gible and Bagon in Mt. Shuem because I like Gible.
- An NPC on a bench in Yellow Town will now heal your Pokemon.

Bugs:
- Don't enter the Normal Rank Contest.
- You may need to enter and exit the Pokémon Center after Red's Gyarados uses Rain Dance in Esmerald City.
- Some items may respawn.
- Cries have not been changed, and Sinnoh Pokedex entries have not been corrected from Wesley's badly translated versions.
- Some Shinx on the overworld may heal your Pokemon if you talk to them. (Let me know if this happens, and where, and I'll fix it)
- Buggy events in Lauren. (Ash493 may be taking this project on.)

Thanks to (in no particular order)...
- Wesley FG, who made this hack and deserves far, far more credit than I do.
- Banjora Marxvile, for poking me and for making me take a look at the XP issue, and flat-out giving me the fix for the wild encounters.
- Ash493, for letting me know how healing scripts work, even though I am lazy and only did the bare minimum there.
- giradialkia, for making awesome music.
- 0shawott, for the Emboar thing.
- Sarcastic Prince, for the Kenta thing.
- Darthatron, HackMew, Lu-Ho, and anyone else who made tools I used.
- Me!

This should be my last update. I just realized that I forgot to take a look at the boat, too. However, Ash493 has expressed a desire to bugfix more of the game, especially Lauren, and he has my permission to do so. While there may be future updates, it'll probably be him releasing them, not me.

Like last time, I've done very minimal testing, so if anything I did broke anything, let me know and I'll do what I can.

Since Latie is a roamer, there's absolutely no way to tell where she appears...
You need to meet her at least once ;) Then you just need to use Pokédex to check her location.

This might be a good addition... showing [email protected]'s pokepics to register them into dex so it would be easier for you guys to find them.

Ouch, I forgot about OWs Latie xD xD
Oh yeah, if you want bonus, you can get the roaming Latie :D
Since you have the in-game Latie, you will be able to track the roaming as well :D

Try to use VBA-M. It may help.

My sincere apologies. That never happened when I released the original version.

Here's a mediafire mirror, I'll edit it into the release post.

Satoshi Ookami August 8th, 2012 12:45 AM

@Giratina: Please try to avoid this way of speaking, it's kinda hard to decrypt what you mean =D
Oh well... I somehow was able to understand it...
I think LP has move relearner but since III gen games did not have move tutors that would teach more than one move, it would be hard to script... :/
The closest thing would be having move tutors similar to B2W2... but it could do some unwanted bugs to the game...

carlolicup August 8th, 2012 1:01 AM

Hey Guys! Is it just me, or the shiny pokemon are still in normal color? Is there a way for a shiny pokemon to look like a real shiny? Thanks! :D

If by now VBA-M hasn't helped you either as ASH493 mentioned then kindly PM me your mail address I will help you there.
