Ruby hack: [Hack of the Year 2012] POKéMON LIGHT PLATINUM

[Spiralmask]

You just patched wrong ROM.
You need Ruby ROM v1.0.

Spiral : Please show us some grammar errors =) I don't like people who just say "there are errors etc.." =) Show us some so we can fix them and know what should we avoid next time =)

No problem, I'll edit some screenshots into this post when I get back on--I'm off to bed for now, since it's been near 48 hours since I last slept (mostly spent on a godawful class project, but whatever helps the grades, right?) .


Okay, I'm back. I started a new file on the hack to take some screenshots (I stopped when you choose a pokemon from professor jasmine's suitcase) and I've got almost 30 screenshots from just the intro scenes alone, however, I can't post the screenshots until I get 15 or more posts here, so they'll have to wait a while.

here's a few other notes (it's a bit wordy and mostly small nitpicks, so don't take this too hard, okay?) -

Spoiler:

there seems to be a lot of repitition of whatever it is someone's talking about--see images repitition 1 and 2 for one of the multiple examples.

Spoiler:

a funny one is in the begining:

???: Yes, but first, I should introduce myself. My name is... KAHORI.
MC: What?! You're KAHORI??
KAHORI: Yes, I am KAHORI, the champion of Zheri, and I am a Close Friend of PROFEESOR JASMINE. I have another friend who wants to see this great mystery, and it turns out that the mystery is related to the origin of the World!!
MC: Could you go there ASAP?
KAHORI: Salamence, use FLY now!
KAHORI: Sure!

all of this is taken verbatum from the first conversation with him you have after leaving your house, spelling and punctuation unaltered.
another slight script problem is that some things are capitalized when they don't need to be, and other things that need to be capitalized aren't.
another comment: right after the awesome salamence travel scene, you walk out of the pokemon center and Kahori is standing outside--THEN the fly/landing animation occurs, which looks really wierd, since they're both already standing there. by extension, the fly animation after he destroys the tablet is a little off as well, since the bird (it's a salamence, but it's a bird animation--a recolor of the regular fly animation, so it's fine) gets past him and almost out of the screen before his sprite disappears.
on the subject of scene animations, the hydro pump animation in the following scene doesn't work--a waterfall (just one) tile just flashes to the tablet (though it is referred to as the "Strange Thing" about twelve times with no 'it's' or similar replacement words, though it's also called a 'scripture' and an 'Alpha Language Document'--it's cool how they have so many classifications for such a Strange Thing. Indeed, it doesn't seem very strange at all.) and it disappears. though the rain dance animation and such afterwords works and looks beautiful, by the way.

also: a small plothole, if they had to track you down specifically to read the tablet (because you're apparently one of the only people who knows the alpha language, other than your father), why is professor jasmine so worried that someone will see it (even though it's smack in the middle of a town, so plenty of people have already seen it, they just can't read it)--to the point of having it destroyed?
all it says is that god was beaten by three dragons and the world is coming unbalanced--what harm could knowing what's on he tablet do? if the reader were to spread this information (an ancient rock says the world is coming to an end!) to the public, they'd be laughed out of everywhere they went--even if someone were gullible enough to believe it, what then?

and for some reason, the site keeps splitting the spoiler into two, despite my repeated attempts to correct it.

I don't know. I'm not sure. But starting a new game is better. You will enjoy all the changes and avoid the bugs in beta 2. :D

I really anticipate the release of the next beta. Pokemon Light Platinum is the best Pokemon hack ever!!

Not WesleyFG here, but did you try the first post on the first page? There's a link that sends you to the download section of the LightPlatinum homepage there.

its either your Ruby ROM is not clean US version or your emulator is not set at Options>Emulator>Show Save Type> Flash 128k

Hope that helps..

My my... read previous posts ;)

I don't really know what do you mean by download but you can use your save file in new beta.

 

[INV]

I saw your post,but what do you mean by rom v.1?

 

[sab]

I saw your post,but what do you mean by rom v.1?

There are different versions of some roms like firered and leafgreen, but I think for this hack it is just necessary to use the right language since there is only (to my knowledge) V.1.0 for r/s/e.

 

[INV]

so there's still a problem...
i patched the USA version of ruby and it was clear,is there any chance someone PM me the download of v.1?

 

[Khronus]

Guys, im making a save in the pokemon light platinum but when i enter in the tv station and was about to fight with hunter zero(i was almost entering on the room) , my game "crashed" and my char stopped, and hunter zero transformed on my char and i had my original one stopped outside of the room (i can only control the second one and i cant leave the room)...
Can someone help me , resolving this ? or sharing a save more or less in this part of the game ?
Please !!

 

[INV]

i know that problem,just get in the game again and try not to do the same steps you did last time
save a second before entering

 

[SonicBlazePlatinum]

Khornus, that's an older Beta! Wait until the new beta for Light Platinum to come out or play Beta 2 of Light Platinum, it's much better!

 

[Khronus]

If i play my save in the beta 2, the crash its fixed or shall i want for the new beta ? (date for it?)

 

[zhero15]

Mr.Wes said that there will no new betas that will be release because the next one will be the final/full version of the hack(that is what i know). So its gonna be quite a while for the release to come.

 

[Darkmoonazara]

huh... the file patch won't work for me... and I downloaded various versions of the Ruby rom to try, but... VBA just has a white screen...
