FireRed hack: [Hack of the Year 2010] Pokémon Sienna - Complete Version Released

[Spherical Ice]

In short, Harry and I were talking randomly on MSN, and I said that Shinite is a weird name. He agreed and told me the backstory of it (Shian being Harry's old hack and Granite being Max's). Then I linked him to Wikipedia's list of colours, and we suggested names to each other. Harry came up with Sienna and liked the sound of it.

IIRC, that is.

By the way, "Hot Dayum", as Steven says, is (C) The Master 2009-2010

Heey,

I like your hacks man there very good, im playing siennna right now and i like the hero and heroine sprites an the new pokemon sprites, it totally rocks and i think i found something no one has pointed out yet, when you pick your starter and you choose cyndaquil from the right site of the table you walk right trough the tables to the professor, it's not to big but i just thought i should tell you.

PS keep up the good work team

Harry, I have another bug involving a Tile Behaviour... Well, not a behaviour, but it is best, in the Forest, to always have all 1's on Movement Permissions bihind/in front of a warp, as if the player does the right thing, they can walk behind it. Ermm... Just change all places that are meant to be unable to be walked on to 1, as if you are precise, you can walk behind the tile without warping.

I knew about that, just forgot to fix it. :3

Hey, Doc. Just going to congratulate you and everyone else on a great game so far. Oh, and to report what looks like a little error.

When I walk from one back corner of the gym to the other, the rival suddenly appears out of thin air by the gym's door.
(image no longer exists)
It only happens if I approach from the right side. I dunno if this is just the rest of the game waiting to be made or what, but thought you'd like to know.

Thanks. :P

Anyway, just doing some things and making progress upon the game. I finished mapping the route above Mekong City. And now I'm getting to scripting the third gym. Which will be tedious because of setmaptile events. :3 Oh well, feast your eyes upon some progress.

Screen 1: *sigh* Gym Leaders, 'ey?
Screen 2: Max wants you to do something for him?! o;
Screen 3: I wonder what the reward was? A battle? yes that is a custom quagsire made by chibi robo
Screen 4: Gym preview. :3

Chibi Robo - Quagsire sprite
The Master - Gym map

Max that is one sexy Quagsire right dere.

Hai gaiz we changed the Gym at the last minute so that preview shot is outdated. I'ma make a new map once Harry has inserted some tiles. Oh, by the way, the third gym is all mien :DDDDDDD

Keep up the great work, bud.

You are an high level hacker
This hack is wonderful.
Waitin' for updates=]

Bug Report

I made a list of bugs that I encountered having played up to Colt Path. Before I begin, I'd like to point out a few general errors errors that should be fixed:

• More than once, there was an error with the jingle that plays when the player receives an item, notably from the the PokéMart representative and the guy in the PokéCenter in Nile City
• People in general talk funny. I mention the old lady guarding the exit of the starter town in the screenshots but a lot of people's dialogue is unnatural
• Kevin (my rival) starts out really nice by giving me a present but then all of a sudden he's graffitiing obscenities on road signs. As I mention in the bug list, consistency is key
• Doesn't having trainers on the first route (besides the rival) seem a little quick to you?

Okay, here we go:

Spoiler:

Shouldn't it be Prof. Marsh?

Two things here. 1) What's Kevin doing down there? 2) the guy by the cut tree isn't there

This is where he should be...

There he is!

Should be "eh?"

Yeah, the number three always bugged me too.

Fragment

Unnecessary comma (I saw a lot of these)

Should be "phenomenal"

Should be "...up to you to nuture..."

'S' needs to be de-capitalized

I noticed that you switch between "PokéBalls" and "Pokéballs". Consistency!

When did Oak get here? (to spare you, I didn't take a screenshot of every menu in which he speaks)

Do you really expect me to read that?

There he is again!

She talks pretty informally for an elderly person

Wait, now he's not there?

How can he see that if he's facing the wall?

I forgot why I took this one but I think it had something to with the jingle that plays. If my memory serves me, I believe that the jingle plays after the text box has already disappeared.

Catch me up on what?

The mom's healing script doesn't play the jingle. :(

Again, the text doesn't match the person

I think the words "research" and "laboratory" should be capitalized.

Okay, this is okay if I activate the script from this tile but...

...here, not so much

Hm, this sounds familiar...

That's an awfully dark name for a first route, don't you think?

What is it with this guy and not facing the people he's talking to?

And he still won't tell me what he's going to catch me up on!

Fragment

I think you were trying to make the person's speech seem natural but it doesn't work in the video game medium very well

Unnecessary comma

"There have been..."

When was the last time you heard someone say, "I live in the bottom right hand corner of New York"? Try to stick with NSEW

From my experiences, flowers don't reflect images

..... go on...

Should be "iTouch" :D

Well while you're busy talking to the Bug Catcher, I'll just go down this route here...

Should have two 't's .... but yeah, he's right

Try ["] in XSE for the opening quotation mark

Should be "isn't"

Typo

Unnecessary comma. There were so many of these that you might consider going through all your script again and searching for them

I forget what happened here but I'd be willing to bet it was that troublesome jingle again

Two tile errors with the mountain, one where the coast meets the mountain and the other where the path edge meets the mountain. But I like the way you put the coast on the bottom layer of the mountain-over-sea blocks. Nice touch

More unnecessary commas...

A few things that I didn't get screenshots of:

• Zigzagoon gives out an awful lot of EXP...
• Also, why does it only use growl? If it's because you don't want the player to lose, remember that you can lose in the battle with OAK's explanations
• When Kevin challenges me on Heathen Pass, there's a pause between his speech and his challenge text
• The old man who shows me how to catch Pokémon and hands out the Teachy TV disappears before getting completely offscreen

I'm enjoying it so far but it's not enough to clinch my vote for HotM. Identity is giving your hack a run for its money. We'll see if the rest of the beta can change my opinion ;)

 

[Logan]

Finally, a long post. ANYWAY, I've fixed a lot of that in the beta 1.1 version. :D I'll check out the others later though.

 

[Logan]

Okay, so I finished scripting the third gym. :D I got some screenshots here for y'all. I'll also have a video in six hours as youtube tells me. ;~;

How do the walls come down? Wait and find out. :D

Edit: Oh, I have these from a new event too.

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Looks interesting. What is that white-ish thingy?

 

[Spherical Ice]

They've all been reported before.

Harry even mentioned on the list of bugs/oddities/glitches about the last one. -.-

Great update, Harry. I wish I were less ignorant about the leg---SPOILER BLOCK.

 

[Logan]

Ugh, I already know all that stuff. Can you bother to check the official release post and read through the thread before reporting thing. u_u

edit: And all those typos/script bugs are fixed in beta 1.1. I only condone playing the fixed beta. :(

EDIT: I don't see a bug section :?

and where it says authors it says : Manipulation instead of The doctor :)

 

[Spherical Ice]

If you look back one page, where the official release post is, then you'd see the bug list.

I love your hack, it's very neat and organized. Also the story is very nice. I'll try to play the demo later on.. But best of luck in the mean time ;)
