FireRed hack: Nameless FireRed Project [Alpha 1.02 Released]

[Drewko]

You can all expect my first release within the next three years

I hope that it is a typo, otherwise people will be... upset.

would you be able to describe the general distribution of where you've hidden the different gens of pokemon? E.g. has kanto still got mainly the original layout with some new critters to find in the grottos, or is it more like all the route 1 monsters from all gens are in route 1 (well i think you made it clear already that you didnt do that but you get the idea)?

Very very interesting! Looking forward to this!
Would be really interesting to know, if there is a possibility, to play the multiplayer (2nd floor of the Pokemon Center).
Are you going to implement the HM Dive?

Edit: It would also be usefull, to add running indoors, X/Y experience gain, reusable TMs and the B/W repel system.
It would also be cool, if we could use it also as rombase, because that would be awesome. :)

There is no distribution as such. There is a custom 300 Pokemon "regional" dex of Pokemon that I thought would be the most interesting placed in the most logical locations of Kanto in terms of what makes sense and what creates good balance. Then after receiving the national dex, you can find the remaining Pokemon in the Sevii Islands, in swarms, Cerulean Cave, and stuff like that. Hope that answers your question?

No clue on multiplayer. Someone can try it, but I'm guessing it won't work.
Dive is already in the game.
Adding running in doors is far too difficult and unfortunately above my skill level.
X/Y experience, reusable TMs, and BW2 repel system, however, are already in the game.
And sorry, this would make a poor rombase. Too much data moved, too many routines changing the way commonly used data is read, stuff like that.

I hope that it is a typo, otherwise people will be... upset.

Nope, not a typo. I said within the next three years, and I'm following through. Today is within three years, is it not?

Download available in the OP :)

Spoiler:

Nameless FireRed Project
Base: BPRE (English FireRed 1.0)
Updates: https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/366030

==================================================

Emulator and Patching:

Your emulator must use real save files (not just save states) because a lot happens after the Elite Four.

Your emulator must use a real time clock to support evolutions, swarms, honey trees, and various other time based events.

Your emulator must support 32mb ROMs.

NUPS is included to do the patching for you.
1) For "File to patch," select a clean English FireRed 1.0 file
2) For "UPS patch," select "Nameless FireRed Project.ups"
3) Check "Create backup of the file (.bak)" if you feel like it
4) Under "If file is invalid," select "Ignore."
5) Click "Patch"

==================================================

Tips and Stuff:

You can use the Gen VI Experience Share, but I do not recommend using it as a default. The Experience Share can multiply the amount of total experience you gain by as much as 3.5, so just like X&Y, just like ORAS, don't just leave it on continuously then act surprised when you end up ridiculously overleveled.

The Beginner difficulty should be similar to a vanilla game. As of now, there is no moveset differences between the difficulty levels, only EVs, so even the expert mode isn't thaaat much harder. The jump to medium is the biggest jump because it includes a level match for gym leaders.

The start menu has other options such as level limits and some nuzlocke options. They can be changed anytime you can open the start menu, so feel free to play around with them.

Sevii Islands aren't very interesting. More interesting than a vanilla game, but still.

The trainer tower has not been touched yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are still buggy battlescripts.

No special rematches for regular trainers; only level/EV changes in this release.

Most of the old tutors (moves that could last be taught during gen I-IV as TMs/Tutors) have no distribution for gen V and VI Pokemon unless that Pokemon naturally learned the move, even if it make sense. For example, a Froakie wouldn't be able to learn Water Gun.

All non-legendaries can be obtained. All legendaries can also be obtained, but it will take a reeeally long time. Think of it as a bonus.

Mega Stones can spawn in Hidden Grottos after receiving the Mega Bracelet.

I hate that 1% encounter rate that some hacks use to make Pokemon "rare." If you're having a hard time finding a species on a route even though the Pokedex swears it is there, it is most likely in a Hidden Grotto.

AFAIK, all Pokemon have their regular abilities and hidden ability except for some legendary specific abilities. Hidden abilities can be found in Hidden Grottos, in swarms, on honey trees, with Rock Smash, in the Safari Zone (except for rods), at the Sevii Islands, in Cerulean Cave, and with some events.

Not included for now :)

When I enter the battle room in multiplayer, it opens a map with the rotom appliances. When I enter the trading room in multiplayer, it opens a house with an "apricorn" old man. I was expecting a multiplayer capability :(((( so sad. I hope it'll be available. :(

Ahh, actually I know exactly what caused this. Honestly, 99% sure multiplayer wasn't going to work anyways. I can check later on, but removed for now.

 

[Nuisance]

Even just the single battle would be enough. Or include trading maybe. I hope you'll work on this :(

 

[Murkrow]

see someone just found a bug that you couldn't find in "3 years"
told ya.
anyway nice to see it finally released.

 

[Nuisance]

The wireless adapter multiplayer actually works. I also modified some scripts to make the "normal" multiplayer work (the right side NPC). It works now :) THIS IS THE BEST HACK EVERRRRR

 

[Zef]

whoa, awesome. i'll be sure to play this asap

 

[Spruceitup]

Congratulations on the release man! From what I've played so far, I can pretty confidently say that it's a fantastic hack. If you don't mind my asking though, I have a couple of questions

First, are we awarded the National Dex at the start? Or is it a Regional Dex? And if it is the National Dex, why is it numbered so... oddly?

And second, are you planning on/do you have .ini files to make this compatible with hacking tools/randomisers? To me at least the only thing that could make this hack even greater (shy of 100% completion ahah) is the infinite replayability afforded by a randomised or customised run.

That sounds absolutely fantastic. Reckon you could share the modifications you made in a way that a chimp like me could replicate?

 

[nic0]

I find special sellers in pokemarket..are they available in this version?

Shall I send it to you or teach you?

 

[pokefreak890]

Dude can u send it to me I really want MP

 

[Spruceitup]

Send would be awesome, but if you'd be so kind as to teach me as well that'd be awesome

 

[Nuisance]

Message sent!

I still don't know what happened but...
Rocket Grunt's Croagunk in Cerulean City did something weird - He used something (i don't remember what was that, maybe pursuit?) when i tried to switch out my Roselia. After that Croagunk "played" his own switch-out animation, and switched into... Francis, my Roselia but with Croagunk's moveset. When i killed this "fake" Roselia (i noticed that after first KO, he was still alive with 0 HP, if that matters), my Francis was dead.

 

[Nuisance]

I noticed that the poison effect outside of battle isn't working.

 

[curiters]

yeah, there 2 sellers at pokemart.

 

[Django117]

Incredible work. How many features are still yet to be implemented?
