Are you just that dumb? It's beta 1, that doesn't excuse amateur mistakes that could easily be fixed, don't release the hack if you didn't playtest it. I doubt you submitted any bug report, so don't attack those that do. If she has the backsprites, why not just put them inside the hack? I'm criticizing the game to make it better, so that this thread won't be a huge hugbox anymore with people thinking a mediocre beta is as good as it seems. You're not helping Dark Rising 2 in any way, it's people like you that make it worse by making DRG think that the hack is great right now.

Just stop.

She released it early without fixing bugs because she said she might move it to a later date to fix bugs, but then got bad reactions and had to push out the first beta when she did

Tried the hack after our Christmas Party, It's amazing, The graphics are beautiful especially the pink trees but you need to fix the exclamation mark stuff from the Team grunts..... Don't rush I know it's still soooo new.... but yeah Good luck on ur Hack! :3

mrpizza December 21st, 2013 10:25 AM

@igorbobrik: Same here.
But overall, I'm enjoying this hack so far. I actually found the trainer battle music quite fun to hear.

Yoshi3645 December 21st, 2013 11:20 AM

If you're gonna do constructive criticism, don't be so rude and just outright bash the hack and DarkRisingGirl. Just state the problems that you have with it, no need for insults. And remember that this is just Beta 1. This is kind of a test run of sorts. DRG said that backsprites and cries for Gen 6 Pokemon are being added next beta and reported bugs are going to be fixed and stuff.

DRG did a lot with this game to make it great. I was pleasantly surprised with all of the changes/additions made to the Pokemon's movepools and with the animations for the Gen 4 and 5 moves. The level pacing is much better than Dark Rising's, but it still has the difficulty despite having a fully evolved starter at your disposal at the beginning of the game. The placement of Pokemon in the wild was well-thought out IMO, but catching the first Pokemon can be difficult as MExile demonstrated in her video playthough. I'm training for the 4th gym right now and I am very pleased with the hack overall despite it having some tile errors and bugs. I hope it gets Hack of the Year 2014!

For some reason it won't open. sniffle... I downloaded several different FR roms, so at least one was clean and fine, but I think it is the .ips file that didnt want to work. Just a big white screen and grinding noises. Any tips from the guys that got it to work?

There's actually nothing wrong with the IPS file. Are you sure you patched it correctly?
Are you sure the rom you patch with is really clean? Are you sure you know how to patch?

I know how to patch.
I use LunarIPS
I don't have a clue if I did it correctly. My computer made them into "open with LunarIPS" so now they don't have the white box;it's a little heart instead, but I don't know what that would do.

Do you have save type set to flash 128k?

Just to make sure. Redownload everything LunarIPS the IPS for DR2 and the FireRed rom. Then go to page 32 of this thread and read JcB0619 post on how to patch the file. (Notice: Do this for the best results.)

I looked in the options. How do I do that?

Nevermind

Granddaddy Purp December 21st, 2013 1:33 PM

we wont have to restart our game to update in the next beta right ?

Bladerbash December 21st, 2013 2:36 PM

Got a few bugs here.
http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy50/Bladerbash/PokemonDarkRising23_zpsf0f408bd.png
Tile error.

http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy50/Bladerbash/PokemonDarkRising22_zps4dcefcfd.png
Why doesn't the character turn around and acknowledge her? (Notice: This also happens several times in the game.)

http://i776.photobucket.com/albums/yy50/Bladerbash/PokemonDarkRising21_zpsdbb3ba01.png
Why is there big space in between them?

Hey Darkrisingirl, my Mareep will not evolve no matter what I do! Can you fix it in the next beta?

Just stop.

Ok... you show us your OH SO PERFECT rom hack. I suggest you DON'T insult a rom hack if you cannot make one yourself. I don't know if you can or not. But show me some proof if you can? Yeah thanks for reporting bugs. But you simply cannot just insult a game like this? May I ask if you could do better? Then again, show some proof. I am pretty sure they have play tested it as well.
And for these bugs.
The pre-evolved starters are to CONNECT with Dark Rising 1.
Don't say these can easily be fixed!
ROM Hacking has so many boundaries and once one is fixed? Another is destroyed.
DRG has her self clear here.

But I am just so anxious to see you make a really good 1st beta.
Don't forget to play test it ;)

I don't care if you can make a rom hack, there will be no insulting anyone else's work. As all of you can see, I recently had to do a lot of cleaning on the last page of this thread. Personally, if you don't like a hack, don't follow it. Simple as that. Same thing goes for any other aspect of your life: music, religion, sports, moves, etc; if you don't like or agree, as long as it isn't hurting you, just move on with your life. Don't waste your time trying to put someone else down. All it does is cause people to get mad at you.

-----
Just as a warning, I will close this thread if it becomes a problem. If there is a bad post on here, instead of starting an argument, simply report it. If another argument like the last one breaks out, I will have to close this thread.

@DeepFreez3: "ROM Hacking has so many boundaries and once one is fixed? Another is destroyed."

This is not true at all. I have been hacking for a while now and I have broken boundaries with ASM. I have expanded OWs, increased battle backgrounds (and rewrote ASM to change them on a whim), made houses light up at night, etc. I'm not perfect and I make more mistakes than success. However, as long as you look around at how things affect each other, there is no reason that your code should cause more problems when you insert it.

If you would like to discuss this, contact me via vm. There will be no more spam on this thread now that I am subscribed.

How do you download the game from this website

What?? Physical/Special is not yet implemented in this game. If it is, then you must see the icons beside the attack (on the attack description) ;)

Download it through the attachments in the first page.
Open the rar. or zip file then open the IPS file patch a clean Firered rom.
Hope this helps.

If it shows a white screen, I can only help you if your emulator is Visual Boy Advance.
go to options,then emulator,then save type and Flash 128k after you did those restart the game by pressing CTRL R.

If the splits icons are not there this doesn't mean that the game doesn't have the split. The split has been implemented but the routine (function) that shows the split icons has not been used in the hack (there are various hacks like this). Clearly, implementing the split function and implementing the insertion of split icon are different things. The icons just indicate the type of move and not manipulate the damage calculation.
