Pokemon Fire-Red XP
Pokemon Fire-Red XP is a Hack of the Pokemon game Fire Red. The goal of this hack is to improve upon various parts of Fire-Red, such as Gym Battles, and also to allow most of the Pokemon to be capturable. The aims of this Hack are:
1) Allow almost all (possibly not the legendaries) to be capturable and useable. 2) Improve Gym Leader Battles to make the Gym Leaders feel as elite as they should be. All Gym Leaders now make use of 6 Pokemon. 3) Improve heavily upon the Move Lists contained within the game. 4) Remove limitations on Pokemon such as Graveller to evolve. 5) Add some new regions to the Kanto map, such as East and West Viridian Forest. 6) Edit your Rivals teams to be more unique than they currently are. 7) Remove as many capitalised names as possible (eg BULBASAUR and other Pokemon names) 8) Doing all this without a single added script. The Story will be exactly the same as it is currently, this is afterall a kind of redux of the original. Or even an expansion to it. I will be showing progress as I go, mainly to do with stats. I will add some progress on the Gym Leaders tomorrow. |
So your editing a few things and that's it? I mean yes it's a hack, but it doesn't sound like much fun. I'm not trying to put you down but not to many people like simple hacks like this. It is a good start but after it I hope you do more with another hack.

Editting most pokemon's move lists, every gym leaders pokemon as well as deciding their move lists, possibly editting other trainers, removing all capitalisation, adding a group of new maps to places like Viridian Forest, Mount Moon etc on top of what is there already, etc. I would not say that is just a simple hack. It's not just editting a few things and thats it, and frankly it is a put down to have someone posting:

Ok that's fine. I wasn't trying to be rude as I said

it will be quite boring i fyou do this..
~No Offence~ you are only going to edit the one you stated above and thats it??? |
Here's a life lesson, saying "No offense" rarely stops it being offensive. It's not just one thing I'm editting Aceangel, I listed a bunch of stuff, and I explained my reason as well.
And about getting a team, I would feel wrong doing it that way, especially since I really struggle to convey how I want things to go, and what characters would say, to another person. When I have modded other games before with speaking parts in them etc (such as Warcraft 3, terrible modding community to be honest, full of giant ego's and rude comments to new starters) I have only been able to do it by my own triggering, editting their dialog myself and was unable to explain to others what I wanted said by them. That, and lets be honest, what are the chances of someone new like me getting hold of a decent scripter to help them out? Very little. I think my best chance would be to have some kind of Scripting Tutor, who would help me learn how to do each part and be there to correct mistakes in my scripts. But the chances of that are very slim as well. |
Look scripting tutorials.
And,personally,i'm bored of FR.However you change the Rom,the story won't change a bit,and its too boring. |
Of course I have looked at Scripting Tutorials, but the very little I could get my head around bugged like hell when I tried implementing it.
And frankly, I have to say that this is amongst the worst welcomes into modding that I have seen. 3 people complaining that not enough is being changed (when its rather alot) and wanting some total conversion of Pokemon into a new game with new scripts, story, region everything. How can someone who has just started hope to achieve such a thing when they can't script? Aren't modders supposed to encourage and HELP newcomers, instead of shooting them down? |
Look, they have all been nice, and stated criticism. True that it is negative, but look at that, and think how to change it.
Can't script? Get a team. Simple. oh, and I've seen worse entrances. This is quite a good entrance for a hack like this. these types of hacks have been done before. I'm so sorry to say this, but they aren't really that eye-catching. I'm being polite (negative crtitcism is good too, and nice!), and I don't really think this will be all that great, but please prove me wrong. |
Frankly, everyone saying "it's boring", or "is that all?" isn't nice. It's not even in the slightest bit encouraging. And plus, I have already explained why getting a team isn't an option, as not only would I be unable to correctly convey what I want to the scripter, but the likelyhood of a scripter (who are apparently rare) wanting to help me with my idea is highly unlikely.
|
I like the idea, however I would love some of your own story-ideas to be implemented too, perhaps a new rival and some mini-quests to help achieve all the pokemon :) if you need help scripting perhaps start a team as some others suggested, read up on some tutorials (most have basic scripts you could use) or ask somebody else to script for you!
I would help but im currently occupied with my own hack, but I wish you good luck. |
See, thats what a nice responce looks like! Thank you Swiftsign. Though, unfortunately I would be unable to add my story ideas not only due to the scripting problems (which tutorials cannot fix I'm afraid, only a good scripter giving me some help in understanding whats wrong with my scripts), but also due to the fact that my story is set in an entirely different region. Though, know that I wish wholeheartedly I could make my story rather than this, even though this one will contain lots of my new stuff like new movesets and things.

But you might as well keep on slagging my idea off, afterall, it is -really- encouraging. |
Umm, it would still take a lot of time in YAPE. I can understand what you are doing, and I am sorry for my behaviour before, but you are treating constructive criticism as "slagging you off". We are only pointing out things that we disagree with, and giving opinions.
Anyway, Unown are only meant to have Hidden Power. Reason: they are hidden, and are the Alphabet. True they don't know Psychic, and are Psychic pokemon, but they are hieroglyphs of Unknown and Hidden Power (no pun intended). Makes sense, even if they seem worthless (and I love Unown, used to always get one in Gold and Silver!) Also, the moves you pick we could disagree with. And also the game would get easier if you made more pokemon have better moves. I can agree to an extent about the Gym thing. Make the first few have 4 though, as 6 would be probably pushing it a little bit. Rival's Team would be near impossible to determine, and probably would cause a lot of bugs if changed. I'll warn you now, it would be safer to leave it. Anyway, I will prbably play this, always thought Firered was too easy (but so was D/P... 2 days and that was it...) |

I was considering adding a Marsh near to Viridian forest, so it is likely I will add a small amount of new tiles in.

Sorry if this seems harsh, but I can't think of a nicer way to say it. |

You acept only the good responses.You dont want us to tell our opinion? -like i said before- I'm just pointing the facts,good luck with this. |
I only accepted Swiftsign's post because it actually gave me some encouragement in continuing, instead of constant views that my hack will be crap. I was actually rather happy to be starting this hack, since I was going to be able to do a hack, even if it wasn't the one I had been planning for. But now.. well, to be honest, you win, it's boring, I won't do it. Better if I just leave it. Instead, I will post up what was my original idea, maybe that will be better recieved.

I agree with machomuu, he's right though. You need to elaborate more on this, then, only then, will it become a good hack. Who knows, you could be big for this! This could be the best hack/remake ever.
People are getting tired of the same stories so they're saying they want something original. Why don't you change around some maps if you weren't planning to already? MAke it different! Remember, what they said was trying to help you. EVEN Ray Maverick, shocker right? Don't give up on this, it wouldn't be fair to you at all. It will tell you that you gave up on something because other people weren't offering nice comments or whatever. I support you completely I just want you to focus on more than the criticism, like the constructive part!!!! Okay, that's all I have to say! Peace! :P HEre I made a banner (Sorry, I'm trying to get better at these!): http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/7933/xpbanner.png |
Thanks. However, I've stuck to my decision, instead I am going to return to my original hack idea and attempt to get good enough at scripts for them to actually work. Not to worry though, the ideas I had for this one are definately going to be incorporated into the hack, as are more.
The name of it is "Pokémon: Duality" and I believe it is on the second page of the Scrapbox now. |
Oh, darn, what a shame....
