[Ruby Hack] Pokemon Gold
 
I know what you are all thinking.....
Not another Gold Remake!

But this is a proper Gold remake. I'm not changing the story or text. But I will add new features etc. Originally I was going to make this hack just for myself, but I decided to share it with the community!

Official Information Below.

.::Hack Name::.
Pokemon Gold (GXVP)

.::Hack Of::.
Pokemon Ruby (AXVE)

.::Introduction::.
A remake of the classic Pokemon Gold (GBC) with new features, up to date GFX and the Return of an old friend....

.::Story::
Same as Pokemon Gold :D but a slightly different ending ;)

::.Screenshots::.

Only two as I started hacking it yesterday!

These seem to be a popular...

The title screen looks good though.

vivekharin December 28th, 2005 8:32 AM

amnesiahacker best of luck with your hack .Your screenies are very very nice.Its basic and looks very good.

amnesiahacker December 28th, 2005 9:00 AM

thanks vivekarin! BTW everybody these screenshots are real

dirtybarz December 28th, 2005 9:31 AM

good work :) .....look very good i love gold i think it the best pokemon rom :)

Charizard-Kunâ„¢ December 28th, 2005 9:43 AM

Sweet! Keep up the good work! I like your hacks, they're interesting

Ash_Pokemaster December 28th, 2005 10:44 AM

Just cool! You're really getting popular in hacks. This is the best one of yours in my opininon. Just a suggestion. Since you're making a remake of gold why not also from the Silver and Crystal? I mean it won't be something dificult. You'll just have to change the main screen and maybe some Pokemon. And another suggestion. What about some names like "GoldenSun and SilverMoon" they are in the third opening of Pokemon so they aren't SO random.
Now my questions. Since you're saying it's an original remake* (which thing I'm against because if you have the ability and knowledge it would be a waste not to make something like FireRed for Gold - anyway I REALLY appreciate the remake as you say anyway ^^) *means it won't have both boy and girl choise in the start. What about the day/night option? Ruby is a good choise since that makes easier cause or the real-time option on it. And last question (for now :p) will PokeGear be available. I mean it will be some kind of difficult for it to be made.
Please answer me as soon as you can since things are getting interesting. Thanks you.

I am using Pokémon Ruby as it has a RTC (Real time clock) and I will execute timed scripts to add darkness to the game - Just like gold.
One of the new features is Picking the girl!
And Pokegear will be returning! (Except for the Phonebook feature but you will still receive calls)
I am not using a new name as I like the Gold name.

Any more questions? I'll be happy to answer them

Ash_Pokemaster December 28th, 2005 11:58 AM

Yep I'm questionfull (what a word~ xD). Will Kanto be available, as it was in GSC? What about the other suggestion of mine? About Silver and Crystal?

As_Stars_Go_Out December 28th, 2005 12:12 PM

hey your hack is looking cool pm if you need any help X

Kanto may be available...
Silver will be a separate version. (all it needs is a few wild pokemon changes)
Crystal will not be produced.

Osceola December 28th, 2005 1:15 PM

Script Database
 
If you do add time scripts, you should add it to the script database for all to see.

amnesiahacker December 28th, 2005 1:24 PM

I will but I have to figure it all out first :)

GymLeaderLance99 December 28th, 2005 1:36 PM

Well, I look forward to this hack. The title screen is great, but you could add more color instead of the black. Good luck with it! :)

zak December 28th, 2005 1:38 PM

Nice!
 
Cool , youre hack looks gr8!
Good luck!
its gonna be quite hard to add in the poke gear but it will be worth it!
I look forward to this mysterious ending and the return of an old freind.
Sounds really gr8!

MAR Heaven December 28th, 2005 1:41 PM

Well good luck if you need any help with spriting just pm me and I could be a spriter for your hack anyways it looks great and good luck with it!

@ Blastoise BB in fact I need some one to recolour all the old sprites from Pokémon Gold here is a dump of all the GBC sprites

DarkFear December 28th, 2005 6:58 PM

The day/night script sounds tough. Please remember to post it here when you figure it out!

Chris-h11 December 28th, 2005 8:32 PM

This looks really good, could turn out great or turn out dead...

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:39 AM

his hack will never die. I have though about it since I started hacking and now I'm finally doing it! Thanks for all the positive comments

I agree i love the Ho-Oh but i think you should maybe put clouds or something in the background. i love this hack so far cant wait for some screen shots ;)

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:01 PM

The title screen is being reworked and J1M808 check your PMs

Sweetie, those sprites came from Serebii.net, and it is wrong taking somebody else's work and claiming it as your own. You could get in quite a bit of trouble for stealing those sprites. Just to let you know.

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:11 PM

Jeremy I was unaware of this GFX robbing. I have not used any of them. More screenshots tomorrow I promise!!

DarkFear December 29th, 2005 2:13 PM

Yes those were taken from the website. Nice hack I love remakes!

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:14 PM

Disregard the title screen I have greatly improved the idea and I'm currently re-designing it.

DarkFear December 29th, 2005 2:17 PM

Are you going to use some of MewThree's programs to change it?

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:19 PM

No, I use hex, Tile Molester and TLP.

J1M808 December 29th, 2005 2:39 PM

i shudnt of stole them soz but i'm not a bad spriter/recoulerer no i havmt stole anythin else iv'e made.btw i hav made a title screen its krap tho

amnesiahacker December 29th, 2005 2:40 PM

J1M808 Don't worry about it just don't do it again

vivekharin December 30th, 2005 3:56 AM

amnesiahacker very good work.This thread and the Ash_Pokemaster's thread are going to become one of the best gold remakes in gba.Best of luck.Keep up the good work.

amnesiahacker December 30th, 2005 11:20 AM

As_Stars_Go_Out December 30th, 2005 1:07 PM

This is going to be soo good everyone here can already tell man and all we've seen is the title screen and it looks amazing. Keep up your amazing work man

brotlov December 30th, 2005 1:57 PM

Nice.
 
I like the new title screen, it looks great with the clouds.

GymLeaderLance99 December 30th, 2005 2:27 PM

Now, that's a better title screen! The clouds are good, too. I'm wonderin': are those the same ones from the Gold title screen? And I look forward to the screens.

amnesiahacker December 30th, 2005 3:02 PM

They are the clouds from Gold, they are just stretched out!

Look at ruby's default title GFX:

Compared to my title GFX:

It's not much but I have edited all the intro text and I'm currently editing the overworld sprite

RaichuMAN2000 December 31st, 2005 8:31 AM

This hack looks awsome. If you need a beta tester, I could help you with that.

vivekharin December 31st, 2005 9:04 AM

beta tester
 
I played many pokemon games and even finished almost all of them.If the beta testers job is only to show the bug of the game i will be willing do it.Please give me the beta tester's job.Thnx for telling the source amnesiahacker.

amnesiahacker December 31st, 2005 9:33 AM

I may need beta testers soon. I will PM when needed

Darkdata December 31st, 2005 9:46 AM

You did somthing Amazing with that title screen.
Any chance Of posting a tutorial in the tutorial forum.
Who knows mabey we will get a better title screen.
You even did better than kawa on his romhack^^.
anyway great work I hope this game gets finished.

As_Stars_Go_Out December 31st, 2005 9:57 AM

Please let me beta test :P nah im not gonna beg. This hack is looking great!

GymLeaderLance99 December 31st, 2005 11:23 AM

I'd like to beta-test when the time comes, as well. The hack is looking great! :)

Wolfius December 31st, 2005 12:20 PM

When the time comes, I'd be happy to test out your beta.

The title screen's fantastic by the way.

amnesiahacker December 31st, 2005 2:44 PM

Kawa is a great rom-hacker. He gave me the offsets for the Ruby Title map (Tells the game how the title is arranged). Using this technique I could make the sapphire title screen the same as ruby!

Say, could you even put animations on the title screen using his method? Like Gold's Ho-Oh flapping it's wings?

amnesiahacker December 31st, 2005 3:54 PM

That's entirely different. You need to know how to make gba games to do that

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!

Still not New Years here, DANG! Anyways even though this hack is only editing the Beginning stuff I know it's gonna be great.

amnesiahacker January 1st, 2006 3:15 AM

I have now nearly finished the overworld sprite. I wil post screenshots later

Wolfius January 1st, 2006 6:40 AM

The Hero's overworld?

Does it differ a whole lot from the original sprite?

amnesiahacker January 1st, 2006 1:08 PM

My friend made it. It's really good but I have to convert it to be suitable for GBA colours


EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the new overworld sprite
http://img343.imageshack.us/img343/666/overworld1rw.png

I am starting on maps tonight.

Wolfius January 1st, 2006 1:24 PM

That's a real nice sprite of Hiro. I like the way that the hair differs from most Advance Hiro's, that other Gold-Makers have made.

amnesiahacker January 1st, 2006 1:53 PM

My friend is really good at those sort of things.

Innocence January 1st, 2006 7:44 PM

Hi! This is a great hack! I can do some trainer revamps if you want. Just add me on MSN.

Mr Snrub January 1st, 2006 9:23 PM

cool hack keep it up dude

MERGED COS A POSt BETWEEN WAS dELETED: GET OUT OF PPLS THREADS U SPAMEMD mE AND NOW HERE

EDIT: excellent his post got deleted i hope hes banned

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 3:28 AM

Turns out my friend didn't make that sprite. It was polaris. I have to give credit.

Enter-Shikary January 2nd, 2006 4:38 AM

That was unexpected. As long as you have a solid Hiro sprite, the game will go smooth.

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 5:51 AM

Yup, It's real good. I might actually make my own though If polaris doesn't want me to use it.

Mr Snrub January 2nd, 2006 6:03 AM

i am excited to play the beta dude greta work

Wolfius January 2nd, 2006 7:30 AM

You could try contacting Polaris.

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 7:35 AM

I have. I'm waiting for a reply. I'm starting the maps later on (I really am this time)

Have you worked out how to make the connection starting from New Bark Town and going to the left?

I could never do that...

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 7:52 AM

I'll do it in elitemap. Shouldn't be too hard :cool:

As_Stars_Go_Out January 2nd, 2006 8:13 AM

okay if you can make a title screen that good maps are no problem i maped from new bark all the way tp olivine city but my rom messed up im having to start over. Whatever you do always keep a back up and check everything in the hack when testing to make sure its all good ;).

Chris-h11 January 2nd, 2006 8:16 AM

I found something in Advance Map, if you push CTRL + A it says something about Connections...
Edit:

Yep, Figured it out... Just go to the Dropdown Menu and Select Left. (I am so happy that I found out something new)

Edit: I am stupid, most people probably already knew about this because it's just sitting in the Tools Menu...

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 8:22 AM

I knew about advancemap connections it's just that I use elitemap.

Wolfius January 2nd, 2006 9:43 AM

Haha, now I feel like a retard. I've used AdvanceMap for so long >.<

As_Stars_Go_Out January 2nd, 2006 12:13 PM

guys using elitemap is also easy to do connections in :P

Roxie Mika January 2nd, 2006 12:30 PM

1 Attachment(s)
The attached image shows how one would edit connections in EliteMap.

First one must be on the 'Objects' tab.
Then one must switch to the 'Connections' subtab.
Then work from the image, or do what one needs to do.

~Supakitsune

EDIT In response to Amnesiahacker: Heh, thanks ^^;

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 12:36 PM

I know how to edit map connections in hex as well

EDIT: BTW nice sig picture IcyFlare

T$T January 2nd, 2006 12:38 PM

Keep going lookin good I like the title screen how do you edit it I have pokemon ruby AXVE

Wolfius January 2nd, 2006 12:38 PM

Nice one.

How much's done on the maps?

amnesiahacker January 2nd, 2006 2:19 PM

Um not much. I've been outside near all night. I'm starting in half an hour

EDIT: Here's a screenshot of my HALF finished Downstairs Map :)
http://img363.imageshack.us/img363/8923/prealpha5oz.png
This map is not finished yet but I said I'd post a screenshot today.

Chris-h11 January 2nd, 2006 2:31 PM

Still looks great, I can't wait

Sanctuary January 3rd, 2006 3:27 AM

Wow this looks amazing. I can see u put a lot of effort into this game. I love the sprite of the boy hero looks so good! I wish u good luck and I hope u finish this hack!!!

jchapman January 3rd, 2006 4:18 AM

Wow! I've always loved Gold. This really looks awesome. I would be very interested in Beta testing.
Keep up the good work!

amnesiahacker January 3rd, 2006 9:34 AM

http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/8015/finisheddownstairs3ke.png
I haven't done much today. I just done the upstairs and downstairs maps. Above is a shot of the finished downstairs map.

As_Stars_Go_Out January 3rd, 2006 11:21 AM

cool! keep it up ;) what are you going to do next the upstairs or new bark ?

amnesiahacker January 3rd, 2006 11:59 AM

New Bark Town is next. I have already done the upstairs map. Just keeping it under wraps until the beta is released ;) (It's nothing special just valuable GFX)

As_Stars_Go_Out January 3rd, 2006 12:01 PM

sounds cool cant wait have you edited the littleroot tileset to make a new new bark one ? ;).

amnesiahacker January 3rd, 2006 12:05 PM

I'm going to do that soon. I have been held back recently as I have exams in 2 weeks time and I have to put in some serious revision so progress will be slow for the next while.
