FireRed hack: [Hack of the Month 2008] [BETA 2 OUT!] POKéMON MARBLE - The long life - 4/1/08

[Teh Baro]

Does anyone have the Original Beta 1.0 of Marble? Beta 1.1 won't work for me apparently.

Learn to patch, over a clean rom, fire red, etc. If you can't make 1.1 to work, you won't make 1.0 to work.

@BlazetehKin
Yes, it ends at vice valley (the route that will lead to rainbowpolis) Where I'll be waiting for you to tell you it's over.
But something similar will be at the mirage tower.

 

[Nintendemon]

Curses! I don't know if I can do that with a Mac.

 

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

I have some questions

Oh,wow that's cool.Also I noticed some things.
There's a desert route by Cobalstation that I think is called Sandy Valley,and I noticed it had a cave.Will you be able to enter it?

Oh and there's something about Kayuko's Lab.I think people might skip the event by going through Mole Galleries.(I think)Maybe after you defeat Patricia there could be Molemen blocking it?I'm not sure really.I'll stop asking questions since I said alot,but I willask a few soon.

Oh,did you nticed I made the 400th post?

Vice Valley is a good name also.

 

[BakingBluePotatoe]

um....... this is odd. when I walked out of the house I'm in a ton of trees and can't go anywhere.... little help here?

 

[mschledy]

yeah, u can, there is a patcher, google mac osx ips patcher or something like that.
the one i'm using at the moment is UIPS. :)

 

[Mr.Roserade]

Wow, I remember playing quartz like what 2 or 3 years ago, and I think it was the only hack ive ever seen finished, keep up the good work baro

not, because a Boultan will be sleeping there. You'll need the pokeflute to play a song for me, then it will wake up and supposedly dance (I say supposedly because as well as you don't see snorlax attack in fire red, here I won't waste an sprite in a dancing boultan... or will I? I still have to decide, anyway that's beta 3 stuff).
In that cave you'll find the Rainbowpolis gym leader, since she won't be at the gym... there will be a funny surprise joke there ;).

I still haven't decide, but my idea is that maybe you get the ghost detector after beating the last trainee in rainbowpolis gym, then in mirage tower you get the pokeflute. Now I gotta arrange it to be coherent with the story.

Oh and there's something about Kayuko's Lab.I think people might skip the event by going through Mole Galleries.(I think)Maybe after you defeat Patricia there could be Molemen blocking it?I'm not sure really.

You can also skip going to kayuko's hideout in cobaltstation, so you won't be able to get the orange package from the lab (since you won't have the key). Anyway, once you get cut, you can cut down the tree at cobaltstation park and enter the lab through the back door. It's up to the player to decide whether taking the shortcut or the longcut, although since you'll have cut, the most logical thing is to explore the new ways that will open by cutting down trees. The game is enough linear as it is, so blocking the long way wouldn't be a good idea.

Also, kayuko's new hideout will be in rainbowpolis, so if you don't do that part, nobody will be there. As a side note, to enter there you will also need to get the password from the parnot at wisteria village, so maybe you gotta buy mole cookies.

I'll stop asking questions since I said alot,but I willask a few soon.

Keep asking everything you want

Oh,did you nticed I made the 400th post?

Yes :D

Vice Valley is a good name also.

Vice, as in all the vice that surrounds rainbowpolis.

Hey Baro!
Pokémon Marble is going great man!
I can't wait to beta 2, which i suppose (and hope) that will be released soon.
Good luck!

thanks for bumping the thread man

SO
I told Xiros to bump the thread because I was uploading the video of the dancing script to youtube, but failed. tried to record it again and failed to convert video file. Youtube's a *%&·!
Actually that happened before, when I recorded the shiny, that's why there isn't a video of it.
But well, you'll see it in the beta.
The script is done, after an entire afternoon and 12 Kb of 570 lines of source code.

There're 5 steps: Jump, waist move, spin right, spin left, and mambo. You're taught the moves and then the dancing leader does 4 sequences, each one more and more fast (less wait between steps). You have to make a minimum steps in each sequence to pass:
3/4 in the firs, 4/6 in the second, 6/8 in the third and perfect 8/8 in the last one.
After each sequence, you gotta chose the steps you are going to make (obviously, the ones that the NPC did). The other dancers at the hall will always do the right step, so if you fail, you'll notice it because you'll be the only one doing a different movement. After the 4 sequences, you battle the leader of the belly dancers and receive the mirage glass as a prize.

Argh, damn youtube, if it worked, it'd be so cute to watch!
* tomorrow I'll upload some pictures, now it's a bit late

 

[destinedjagold]

Nice. Man, I wonder if it'll be a difficult task. xD
Anyways, keep up the great work!
I'm excited to see more! :P

 

[zel 2.0]

Bummer, I wonder why you keep having those tube's problems? >.<

Anyway, at least, it'll be interesting to see how the whole deal is done. It really sounds confusing when you explain it (hehe... I cant take the "mambo" move from my head XP)

PICS OF THE DANCE HALL AND A VIDEO

Here's some pics

I just discovered photobucket supports videos, so here is a short demonstration. Rounds 3 and 4 are longer and harder. (in each round, the pause between each step is halved)

Click to watch

 

[BlackRainbow*]

Woah nice screens and video. You are amazing scripter man. Great work

 

[Virtual Chatot]

Baro, that was truly the most amazing 50 second video I've seen in the last hour.

Thank you :D

 

[Ivysaur]

O_O
Amazing script. I only wish it's not as hard as it was in OoA. At least, you can miss here ^_^

XD at the subrosians

Subrosian dance were in OoS, in OoA is goron dance, which is more like this.

The good thing here is that you don't have to care about time, just choose the right steps.

 

[mschledy]

Is this whole dancing thing necessary for the plot/game progression?
or is it just for fun?

Yes, it is necessary to do this since you'll need the Mirage Glass to complete the game.

 

[zel 2.0]

So, it's like a memory game, then? Hmmm... And the speed of the movement of the dancers is what makes it a challenge, I see. Well, I understand it now. Maybe sometime later you could make something like an "extreme" challenge or something like that (because I'm sure there's always people who'd like to brag about their good memory :laugh:)

 

[Lady Berlitz]

That's a good idea, Baro. It looks very good, and the idea of the memory game, as well as the cool dance moves, would add a great addition to this game. I always liked this game (even though I've never finished the Beta), so keep it going, Baro. Good luck!
