[Thomas]

Well it looks like you are going to give a good effort. I will be watching this hack for more updates.

 

[.::t w i l i g h t::.]

Looks cool! But the mountain is very out of place. I could help with mapping and spriting, and I could hack up some new heroes if ya want. Unfortunately, I can't insert them as I'm also fairly a hacknoob, but this looks like a really cool hack. It has a lot of potential. AIM me @ Mika Umbreon or email me @ [email protected]

 

[blueguy]

Thanks! :) Out of place? How so? Yes, if you could sprite new heroes that'd be great! Hey, Twilight, do you know anything about Textediting and Eventediting? I'm really quite *sings Madonna song*like a virgin *stops singing* in that way... ;)

 

[.::t w i l i g h t::.]

No, sorry. And I mean the tiles are messed up. It's supposed to be a plain tile. Also, are you using Elitemap or Advancemap? Elite map is much better. You can even change the labels and the music. Look for it in Tools Showcase...
I also noticed you have the wrong tile on the right side of the door to the temple..Good luck.

 

[jasonresno]

Very promising for someone new to hacking.

Yeah, about the door. Originally I was going to make it a doubledoor, but it didn't look right. I use Elitemap. As for the mountain tiles, I wasn't really sure, which were which. :P I'm going to fix it though.

.::QUICK UPDATE::.​

At the beginning instead of the sequence with Birch and the Poochyena, I'd like to make it so that the professor asks you to go atop the mountain to retrieve something he left behind when researching. When you get there a certain event will occur that sheds light upon the legend. When you return I'd like to have it so that you are able to choose your pokemon from the Prof. like older games...

Unfortunately I have no freaking idea how to code events to my liking so... yeah... if you know how: I beseech you! Help me!

I'm off to fix the mountain and temple. ;)

.::EDIT - UPDATE::.​

The full map of Ephrill Town, with both Temple and Mountain repaired. This would obviously be if it were sunny, but the day shall begin with a Storm, as shown in the screenshots in my first post.​

 

[Somamil]

Well.... nice map, there's a tile error at the bottom left corner though.....this hack is looking good, keep it up.

 

[blueguy]

Yes... I'll fix it. ;) You know what REALLY sucks though. I tried to change an image and it totally made my file wonky, so I had to upload it again... atleast I have the image to work from. :P After all ze mapping is done... all I need is events and text... of which I need desperately... *HINT HINT* to anyone who knows and is willing to help. ;)

.::UPDATE!::.​

Yay! With some help from a friend I've finally been able to upload a custom sprite. I won't show the starters or give their names just yet, but I will give a preview as to what they are.

Grass Starter :: Grassy Dog
Types :: Grass / Ground

Fire Starter :: Fire Dinosaur
Types :: Fire / Steel (Possibly)

Water Starter :: Water Dragon
Types :: Water / Dragon

I even have a screen with the Grass starter... however I'll hold off on it for the time being. IF YOU CAN HELP IN ANY WAY PLEASE ALERT ME OF THAT FACT! :) SPECIFICALLY EVENT AND TEXT EDITING!

 

[Thomas]

The new screen is nice! I like the huge mansion house thing.

 

[blueguy]

Thanks a lot! That's going to replace the lab. :) Hmmm... Since I should give an update... I will! Surprise! It's a screenshot of the grass starter! :) In the meanwhile I'll work on doing back and mini-sprites for all of Eternity's new pokemon.

.::Screenshot!::.​

That there is Terruff (Terra + Ruff), the Grass dog as mentioned above! I'm so excited that I finallly got him into the game! :D​

Nice Sprite its really cool

 

[Philbro]

This is really good. Your first map is perfect and the temple is so cool. I love grass starters so its a perfect look.

 

[blueguy]

Thank you both so much! :) Now I'll have to do its backsprite. I have an update... Wahoo! :) It's a screenie of Hydrorn! The water starter!

.::Update - Screenshot::.

The first is old, but the second is Hydrorn: the water dragon! Hydrorn comes from Hydro and Horn. I hope you likes!​

Next I'm off to sprite the backsprites for Terruff so I can show you some battle examples! :) IF YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY, PLEASE CONTACT ME THROUGH PM OR THE THREAD.THANKS

Hydrorn is really cool too your a really good spriter

 

[Cool Cr@cker]

Thanks! :) I'll be sure to, since I'm fairly lost in other aspects aside from visual.

Hydrorn is really cool too your a really good spriter

Thanks very much! :) The next update I will unveil is the Fire Starter, but I can't do it just yet, since I've gotta go to school. ;)

EDIT -

For some reason my ROM only goes white now... I'm really, really pissed. Why is this. Anybody know?

 

[Pichu1]

awsome i cant wait for the fire starter wounder wich starter im going to choos

i know how to fix your problem get a new clean rom and you will have to do all the maps again (unless you save and load the) aand insert the sprites again

 

[blueguy]

Well... I can tell you the advantages of each... Terruff has some good dark and ground attacks. He's fairly good, but Hydrorn has very good defense and learns dragon attacks. Ignewt is pretty cool too. It learns bite as its very first attack, and also learns Hyper Beam as its last. They're all pretty good. ;)

EDIT -

I guess I'll have to... It's not that big a prob. since I only uploaded two sprites, but this would be the second time I would have to redo Ephrill Town. *Yarrr!* *Stares menacingly with eyepatch!*

 

[Pichu1]

i cant wait to see the fire starter sprite
