Hey Cooley, this is looking great! ^_^ Any place for an OW/spriter like me? xD
The silver OW needs maybe an angrier look in my opinion. ^^ EDIT: 100th post. :x |
great hack bro, if you need anything custom/ original made just ask.

And by "OW/Spriter" it meant Ow spriter or spriter, correct? Just checking, because I could use a Silver Intro sprite. Quote:

So Cooley, how's the progress on Eruption going?:)
Good luck!:D :t246: |
I really like em screenies!
They look soo cool.:) GL!:D |
This hack is terrific. I just started playing, and I'm already blown away by the plot depth, the great new ideas, and the exquisite mapping and scripting (I can't script worth a darn, but you've done some great scenes). Keep it up, this is absolutely terrific.
Oh, I have one suggestion. Since you're forced to start with Cyndaquil, I think you should give that particular Cyndaquil the ability to learn abnormal moves. Just a thought. Again, great job! And one more thing... I just picked up a Rare Candy and wound up with 16 in my bag. Also, Oak gave me 10 potions. The 10 potions is cool, but 16 Rare Candies before the first gym? Is this a glitch? Does the alpha end with the guy who wants you to find his glasses? |
Umm...
I don't know if this has been posted, but after I got the blackglasses, there was a tile that I couldnt go through, so I pressed it, and the game froze... |
Quote:
And there are no gyms in Eruption.. There will be something better: More trainers and superior individuals :D The rare candy thing, I only used to get past some parts because I didn't feel like battling/losing etc. It was only to help me. I'll replace it with another useless item(X ATTACK) XD Quote:

Well, I'm not sure if Cyndaquil or its evos can learn Eruption but it is the game's namesake...
Also, I was thinking that you might be able to include some sort of story event in which Cyndaquil is forced to adapt, possibly learning moves he otherwise couldn't have used. Here are a few ideas for that: 1. Possibly learns heat wave to fend off multiple enemies. 2. Rock Slide, or some rock type attack, while working in the mountains (probably as a later evo). 3. Solarbeam, since it sort of corresponds with the fire type, and it needs a counter to water and rock-types. You could have the professor ask to examine the Cyndaquil, and declare it an unusual specimen, you could just insert the events in-game, you could even borrow from the TCG and call it a Delta Species. The main idea would be to give it a slightly more versatile move-pool. If you'd like, I can type up a more elaborate description of what I mean and PM it to you. Anyhoo, thanks for making a great hack. But what's this I hear? The game doesn't end with the glasses request? Well, where the heck are the glasses??? Oh well, I'd better get searching. |
Oh, I see. Those ideas are great, but they would have to be in the beginning, right? Well not really, because I have an Idea planned out:
Spoiler:
Of course that's just the gist of it, and I can add the "new move event" to it, so cyndaquil can save Silver's Parents or something along the lines of that. May will be part of this event, and that's all the spoilers I can give for now. Thanks for the ideas! |
Man it looks great, gl for the next.
|
i've patched it in different firered games 5 times and it doesn't work.
|
Quote:
Which ROMs did ya patch? I patched Fire Red (U) and it worked |
now it doen't read it. i've tried fire red and fire red (u).
|
Wow, those tiles are nice! The hack will have a great look if it's full of them.
I'm particularly amazed by your scripting. Your one of the best scripters around. Good luck cooley, I know this will get the recognition it deserves. ;) |
Quote:
Make sure the FireRed rom is 1637 - Pokemon FireRed Version (U) |
i'm using ipswin, and it still isn't working.
is there a better patching tool? |
Quote:
|
Quote:
@siper x, have you tried just giving the ips file and the rom the same name and putting them in the same folder? If that doesn't work, LIPS is good, like Sonic Boom said, and has worked for me. If that fails you, first check that you are patching the GBA file and not a sav, bak, or pal extension. Next, make sure the Rom is clean, with no prior patches. If all fails, redownload the patch and try again. And if that fails, take this to a help thread, which is honestly where you should have posted it in the first place. |
I am stuck in route 1 is that the end of the alpha or is there a certain event?
|
I think you have to find blackglasses for some guy, but I haven't a clue where they are, and I've looked everywhere I could think of. It's driving me into even more serious insanity... I think I'm going to cheat and open the thing in Advance Map.

@your other post: I'll let you know if I need any ideas ;) Quote:
Spoiler:
New Updates; ScreenshotsI have some screenshot updates from a completed Team Knox Event. Hint: This is where you supposedly get a Totodile somehow, and it's not going to be the same as when you got Cyndaquil. Guess what Pokémon's next? :P Screen(s) are below. |
Oh, I get it now! No wonder I also couldn't find them in A-map!
The Totodile and "secret Pokemon" are a great idea. One thought though. Instead of letting the player get all of the Johto region starters, have you considered staggering it (so like one from Kanto, one from Johto, one from Hoenn)? I guess it really doesn't make too much of a difference, and I love Feraligatr anyway. Also, will there be some sort of event where Cyndaquil 'smells' the other Cyndaquils in a Knox base? Like a rescue mission type thing? Although if the plot get's any deeper, I'll drown. Incredible job, cooley, keep it up. Maybe if we all sign a petition we can get Nintendo to hand over the rights to you... By the way, what was the inspiration for "Sprash" attack? |
Quote:
The SPRASH attack, was inspired by Hoppip. I like that Pokemon, and didn;t want to change it's moveset. I didn't realize it only learned Splash and Synthesis when I caught and, an unknowinly put it as a last resort pokemon (my Cyndaquil fainted :() Yep. I lost that battle. Since Magikarp is a sorry Pokemon, I wanted to keep it like that, and edited Splash to do damage based on the opponents level. |
Quote:
Now as for the Cyndaquil event, the evolution probably wouldn't be as much of a problem (I'm sure Typhlosion can smell just as well as Cyndaquil) but you're absolutely right when you mention the possibility that Cyndaquil has been deposited. Here are two ideas for that: 1. The player is the one to notice the kidnapped Cyndaquil, he either hears them or sees a Knox grunt running down an escapee. 2. The player has to pose as a Knox grunt to infiltrate a hidden base on a specific mission to free the Cyndaquil. As part of his cover, he can be required to bring a Cyndaquil with him (he can say he caught a runaway?). There are still the previously mentioned flaws, but if he has to have Cyndaquil with him, he can't deposit it, and you seem to have prevented Cyndaquil from evolving for a time (for which I hate you just a little). But in any case, it doesn't even necessarily have to be a Cyndaquil that the player takes "hostage." Another option would be that the player teams up with a Legendary Pokemon (or someone makes a mock-up of one) and pretends to be taking it to the Boss. The most awkward part of this event (for me) would be finding a way to change the players OW sprite temporarily to look more like a Knox Grunt... Anyway, thanks for hearing me out. Again, and I guess I've said this about a million times by now, you've done a great job with this. Keep it up! |
This is shaping up to be a great hack. The maps are well designed, there isn't anything out of the ordinary, and it's funny too ^_^
Can't wait for the beta release. |
Those screen shots are great and the sliver OW is looking
nice too can't for the beta good luck |
Quote:
|
Well I can say that this game is well scripted. I can't say I'm a big fan of the maps. They're well designed but there is hardly any playability.
|
Quote:

Quote:
is that you did not have the pokedex yet without it the pokemon can not evolve |
Quote:
Spoiler:
On-Topic: Well, those previous updates a few post back... Those are nice! I like the OW of the Admin... I think that the Sprite could be a little better but whatever! It works! This hack seems to be progressing nicely! ~Flaming Flarez~ ~No need for words~ |
Quote:
And the Cyndaquil evolving thing... It's not a bug, it's a way to make sure you catch other Pokémon and train them, instead of Leveling up Cyndaquil until he's level 30 before the Alpha ends xD Quote:
So in the Beta, you'll get a lot of playability :) Quote:
Okay, I appreciate your concern for Eruption, and I understand you want it to be fun and exciting to play through, but your Ideas don't seem... Real. For Silver to take a Pokémon hostage to help the other Pokémon, would throw off the whole storyline I've planned. Coherently speaking, this event requires too much to seem logical. And it seems a bit silly to me. If I were to make this, it would be long and annoying to script, that's the whole reason basically. Not to put your Idea down or anything, but it doesn't seem practical to the storyline. |
Quote:
From this point on I'll avoid offering suggestions unless I'm asked to, although I do want to clarify something real quick. I didn't mean that Silver should take a Pokemon hostage, I was saying that he might fake doing so. Granted, it's kind of an overused line, and it would probably be a pain to script. Anyway, thanks for your patience with me. Shutting up. Keep up the good work! |
Is Cyndaquil going to evolve or not? Anyways, I pretty like your Knox Admin OW, as it's awesome. Well, if you've done the Knox Admin OW, would you consider to do the Knox Grunts' both Male and Female OW's?

______ Okay, good news.. I just finished three events, and only have to do one more which includes Paul, and that should be the whole BETA. I can say it should be out this week, but don't get mad if it doesn't xD |
Great game...but the end was a bit weird...
"A strange force is preventing me from entering the cave" "Oh, you can't go in there, sorry!" "then there is olny one thing to do...END THE ALPHA!" ...I mean...wow...Anyway, nice game....so is beta out this week? :D |
So the beta might be out this week great can't wait to see
what it will be like keep up the great work |
Yes, the BETA will be out this week. I have a feeling the trainers will be a bit too easy :\ So I'll need my Beta testers to test it out.
Oh, and I need one more Beta tester! |
ill do it ive played the alpha b4 and will give it try ;)
|
Okay, un-shutting up.
If you're limiting the Pokemon to 150, what legendaries will you include, do you think? |
Quote:
Celebi, will most likely be included, Jirachi, and one of the three legendary Birds. When the Hack is complete I'll release a patch that allows you to catch the other Legendary dogs/cats/mice whatever you want to call them. I should/could add more, but there aren't too many Legendary Pokémon you encounter on/around level 20 (except Rotom, and Regiggigas) meaning the hack should be extended to give the Player enough time to level his pokemon up to at least 35. Wow, what a post... Well hope that answers it.. Quote:
|
Two Erupting Pokemon...
I suppose you could make one the cause of the other... but really, I have no good ideas. What you could do is bring in Suicune as the key to 'neutralizing' Entei, or even try to do that with Groudon (say the one is ticked off that the other is erupting his volcano...) but again, I'm not really sure. Whatever, you've done a great job so far. I'm sure this will continue to be a great hack. Keep it up! Oh, and you could always insert some sort of Legendary egg, earlier in the game, but late enough that it will still have some serious catching up to do. Personally, I think you should somehow include Mewtwo, because he is the incarnation of awesome. :) But that's coming from a guy who thinks Blissey should be a legendary. |
I would gladly beta test for you!!! i'm really new here but i saw this hack about a week ago and i thought it looks absolutely amazing! you've done a great job on it so far, so even if i can't beta test i will be waiting for the beta to come out :)
|
Quote:
Quote:
Err, you think Blissey should be legendary? XDDD |
Quote:
Good luck :) |
Quote:
|
Quote:
Yes, I think Blissey should be a legendary. There's a sickening level of Legendary discrimination against pink puffballs. Plus, Blissey is ridiculously awesome anyway. |
Hm...I supose I could be a better tester for you, I've been here for a while and this is one of the few games I've actually enjoyed.
I talk to EVERYONE and read EVERY sign, I even look at objects like painting and bookcases to see what they say XD (Wait...how can I do that?! The don't talk!) I guess it doesn't matter if I don't because its being released this week anyway XD [edit] And as soon as I get the ROM I'll start BETA testing, I've already got 6 clean FR roms. |

Quote:
Yeah, Mew would be great, but where would you put him? Also, I've heard that if you catch Mew in the wild, he doesn't obey you... You should have the Professor give Mew to you if you complete the regional dex (though that might get a little complicated to script, since you'd have to somehow seperate the Pokemon you include in your dex from those in the National and Kanto dexes). Or maybe you could stick Mew in that cave where you caught the Cyndaquil, for when you come back and revisit. Or maybe you could rescue it from team Knox. There I go again. Well, where do you think you'll put Mew, if you include him? Oooooh, I just had a thought. You should stick him under a truck somewhere for nostalgia's sake! :) Ah well, keep up the good work! I'm looking forward eagerly to the next release. EDIT: I just read through my own post and noticed how incredibly goofy it was... sorry about that. |

Quote:
Anyway, Yeah, Pm me as soon as possible. [edit]: Oops... It seams I wrote "Better tester" Not "Beta Tester" in the post you quoted, Lol |
This little thingy is doing better and better!
I'm back from the usual summer lazyness, so I just might finish the [VERY SECRET, ONLY COOLEY MAY SEE THIS INFORMATION] (lol) map for you sooner or later, I expect it finished in a day or two, I'll PM you ^^ EDIT: Mapped and sent. Don't read this! Maybe I should just message you this... Well, done is done! |
Um...so am I gonna get to beta test?! Not that I mind, ofcourse, but I've been worring all day thinking that I would be too late to beta test (Haven't had acess to a computer). Lol
|
Quote:
But anyways, I replied to your PM. Quote:
I have bad news though, unfortunately. I decided to add one more event, like a storyline event, right before Eruption starts. And everything works perfectly, up until it's time to warp. When the warp starts, it makes the sound (0x9) but it doesn't finish. I've been working on it for an hour or so, but if nothing works, I'll have to exclude it. It is a very good event too :( FIXED!!! :):):) This is what the event would've looked like(well, some of it): http://i32.tinypic.com/1z3mc7d.png http://i28.tinypic.com/2gxem2x.png Btw, I made that large ball. And it's not an Overworld ;) |
Quote:
I like that Event! I don't want it to be excluded! It's just too awesome to be excluded! I really hope you would fix it because I'm looking forward to play through this event when the Beta is released. |
Quote:
Is that one of guardian's stones? |
I'm pretty sure (If not totally correct) thats the stone before it was broken...
|
The event deems really good, but if i can pop in and mention something (as appearence is an important part in any hack to me), then I would recommend you to Block-Edit the upper sides of the platform so that they fit to the black background. It would make it look another bit better, as the details together make the big thing really good, right ^^
Aside from that little note, then I must say that this event seems relly good, it's gotta explain a lot for the story... Even if I actually see a cutscene similar to that one in like every single hack nowadays... Well, that's because they're good, right? And this ought to be special! Happy Hacking, Cooley! |

That looks like a nice event, and some superb scripting, as usual. I look forward to seeing it in-game (and to finally evolving my Cyndaquil). Just one thing; it's spelled 'guardian.'
And one other thing occured to me. You have said that you will only be inserting some of the Pokemon on the national dex, not all. As I sat and pondered the deep matters of the universe, an appalling, unspeakable, deplorable possibility passed through my mind. Though I am sure no one would be depraved enough to make such an unforgiveable exclusion, I must ask; you are going to include Blissey, right? |

or will it be just a Blissey just wondering |

But what would a Happiny do in a FR hack?
I liked that Lapras, the one that RED was given... I use it as a HM-slave :p |
Quote:

Quote:
This thread is looking better and better all the time. Keep up the good work on this amazing (and Blissey-inclusive) hack! By the way, how long do you think you'll make Eruption? By the time the player finishes the plot, what level will their party be, roughly? |
Like the look of this. I will be keeping an eye as this hack developes.
Charchic. |
This is a great hack, I like the tiles and the cyndaquil events, hope you can carry through with this :)

_________ New Updates; BETA releaseWell, I had an unexpected turn in BETA testers, so really I only had two to detect/try everything. And unfortunately, they seemed to be "in a rush" to do it so.. I took what they reported, fixed it, and fixed anything else they didn't say. Okay enough of personal business, and more of BETA business. The BETA is below, play it to your hearts content. Let me know what you feel about it, etc. Sorry I'm one day late, but I bet no one really cares that much. I won't be here for the next seven days. I'll be attending a(n) international camporee in Wisconsin. Good luck to you all with the BETA (in case it doesn't work), and don't forget to brush twice a day! |
Quote:
say... Your going to WI? That's where I live! Well I hope this beta is as exciting as the screenies and Vids! [will most likely edit post or put up new post when I'm done playing!] ~Flaming Flarez~ ~Eruption Beta! How fun~ ~EDIT~ um.. what the heck... all that is changed is the intro sequence... that is all that is different from FR/LG Although I did go into A-Map and saw a map but it really didn't matter... No other Maps, No Scripts, No nothing... I thought this had to be some sort of joke... |
Yahoo beta! :)
Great job cooley :) And good luck in future :) |
Yaay a Beta! Sadly, I won't be playing it yet, I'm waaaay too busy with my non-amazing non-Pokémon life (gosh darn it, summer's over DX)...
Good luck, though, and I'll check it out later... Oh... Right: Happy Hackin'! |
something is really messed up with the patch... it's filesize is tiny and when i loaded it nothing is changed at all...
|
>________________________>
That's all I need to say. YOU TRICKED US ALL :( When he does get back, though, we'll have the actual beta! Or maybe he never left... |
What, that was a prank?? That doesn't sound like Cooley... I've only known him for a couple of weeks (months) or so, but still...

I tried to patch this file, but it's original FR rom. I think you uploaded wrong .ips file?

He wanted to make fun :D |
The only thing different is in the intro he says "My name is Log"
not "OAK". |

|
Oooh, so it WAS a prank! Hahahahahahahahahahaha CAN WE GET THE REAL THING NOW???
|
Quote:
/me nudges cooley with a stick and tells him to hurry up. |
Lol to everything... I wouldn't play a prank, even if I needed more time to work on Eruption. I haven't worked on it since last sunday, but now that I'm back and see that the patch isn't working.. I guess you can call it a prank? :P
So, I'll check the problem of the patch later on, and I'll upload just the ips file before today ends |
Quote:
be great |
Sorry, for overreacting... But I kinda really wanted that .ips file...
Any1 got something for me to entertain myself? Just for now? |

New Updates; BETA re-releaseI'm back, finally. But I was soo tired from the Airplane trip back, and from waking up at 6 AM to pack the tents, and stuff. I fell asleep around 9:30 and woke up around 11 today. Here it is, finally, no jokes... The Pokémon Eruption Beta! |
Hell yeah this IS beta :D
Great job cooley :) And good luck in future :) |
Spoiler:
Bugs I found Edit added more bugs I found to the spoiler Ok I have finished the hack I think because there is nowhere else to go I really enjoyed it also the orb the lady gives you does not show up in your items |
I like the intro. dragon ball.
Keep up the good work |
sorry for the double post, but i found a glitch/bug.
if you don't heal at the pokemon center, and you lose (all pokemon faint) you end up next to Blaine the gym leader and it has the nurse joy talk. crazy. |
Quote:
Most of the bugs you have posted like walking through things, they don't happen to me. Did you patch the old eruption, with the new one? Or Patch a Firered v1.0 with this Eruption patch? Quote:
I uploaded a Bug-fix patch. Check the first post. |
Very nice, I love the update so far. Keep up the good work!
(It killed my save... :() NOOOOOOO!!!!! CYNDAQUIL STILL CAN'T EVOLVE!!!!!!! ...so painful... |
Where exactly does this beta go up till?
|
I'm stuck. The man asks me to find his glasses but I don't know where they are....
