.:Hack Of:.
Pokemon Fire Red

.:Story:.
(updated!)


Part1: the legend(pt.1)

Spoiler:

Long before pokemon and trainers united as friendly competitors, workmates, and friends, they were at war with each other. the young human race sought to share the world with pokemon, but the pokemon feared the human's possible takeover of what had been their world for centuries. the older, more powerful pokemon, the ones who helped shape the world they now reign over, led the movement against the humans.

Part1: the legend(pt.2)

Spoiler:

At the center of the conquest was lugia, the king of the oceans and storms. for years, the pokemon were driving the humans away, destroying their villages, lugia leaving a blue blaze of fire in his wake. over time, humans found a way to magically infuse special stones with the ability to capture the pokemon threats and effectively remove them from the war. with the invention of these ancient "pokeballs", humans quickly regained lost ground and the war came to a stand-still.

Part 2: the underground 'war'

Spoiler:

As it became more commonplace for humans to have captured pokemon in their possesion, an underground illegal tournament was formed where the pokemon were pitted against each other. efforts to route the battlers were ineffective, even as the war drew to a close. a human and his uncaptured pokemon friend plead with their friends and leaders, offering ideas for all to live in peace. eventually an agreement was arranged, but none remain who remember what exactly it entailed, except for the legendaries. The underground battle network raged on with increasing popularity. as people and pokemon became closer and closer as partners and friends, battles became regulated events and the pokemon league was born. "trainers" now used evolved forms of the mystic stones called "pokeballs", small spherical capsules that captured pokemon.

Part 3: the Azure Knights

Spoiler:

The legendary pokemon, seeing the world at peace, the agreement reached, fled unto their own respective elements of earth, forest, flame, water, wind, ocean, storms, and space and time. They were however, as were some older humans, concerned with the well-being of this new found peace. Thus the Azure Knights were formed, a clan of humans and their pokemon companions, guardians of peace, intervening only if this peace was threatened. Lugia bestowed unto them an old looking ring beset with a dark sapphire, in which one could hear the raging ocean's might. it was to be used to call lugia if ever he was needed.

Part 4: Voren's discovery

Spoiler:

For many years, this peace endured, and the Azure Knights faded from the memories of many, and people and pokemon grew ever closer. the future looked bright. But one day a traveling scientist named Voren, who was descended of the Azure Knights, noticed a tremor in the ocean to the west. shortly afterward, a massive storm racked the same area. after diving into his books for some quick research, Voren rushed away to investigate and hasn't been heard from for six months since, while in another part of the world there were whispers of an evil group noticing the same event and set about in their own way.

Part 5: Your beginning

Spoiler:

You, a sixteen year old kid, have just moved to AZURIA TOWN, your new home. you and your family were called over from HOENN by your father, Voren, who is a traveling researcher working in this new land, the LOREAN region.
You decide to roam the town to see what kind of new place it is, when you hear someone yelling. Not far outside the town, you see a man in a white lab coat running away from a man dressed in black. the man in the lab coat trips and three pokeballs fall out of his pockets. you (being the concerned and helpful citizen that you are) pick up one of the balls to defend the man from his assailant. After the fight (i hope you won, if not then... well cmon really? the first fight? lol) the man in the lab coat tells you he is looking for Voren's family that was supposed to move there today. Surprised at your relation with him, the man gives you the pokemon you used to fight. Back at your house, he tells you, your mother, and your brother, Silas, that your father went missing. He was allegedly kidnapped by an evil organization known as Team (undecided).

Before he was kidnapped, Tom(lets just call him TOM since this is a lot to write ) was given your father's research for safekeeping, and told to bring it to the region's pokemon expert, Professor Camellia to analyze. Tom has no idea what the research contains, so asks you to deliver it to Professor Camellia three or so towns over in Plurin City. Your brother, Silas, who is two years younger than you, abruptly grabs one of Tom's remaining pokemon and runs out of the house, shouting about how he has to hurry to save Voren, and isn't waiting for you (obviously first rival). Thus your journey begins. What was your father researching? Why does this evil organization want it so badly?
all of this and more awaits in the mystery of Azure Blaze.

Mapper

Hey man. I'm VERY new at rom hacking and mapping. But i have a pretty good feel for A.M. and am doing what i can to learn a good chunk of scripting. If you need/want me, send me a PM i'm interrested in working with someone on a hack, rather then sitting here all alone. XD Thanks in advance.

 

[1KewlDude]

Hi! I don't have any proof at the moment because all my previous work is on my other computer and it's not working... If possible could you give me a task for each job I'm applying for and I'll complete them as soon as possible. Then you can decide if I get the place.

Name: Kelwin
Contribution: Scripting and Mapping

Thank you for reading :)

 

[Vallander]

thanks guys for applying!

kelwin:
ill just PM you what i would like to see.

joshj:
thanks as well ill definitely give you a call. *yay newbie hackers* lol.

 

[joshj5hawk]

Heyyyy, can't seem to figure out how to insert a script with AM and XSE, Help? lol

 

[1KewlDude]

Well once you compile the script you need to copy the start offset into the 'Script Offset' box, leaving the '$'. I think that's the problem you're having...

If you need any help feel free to ask.

 

[joshj5hawk]

well, i'm trying to edit the script where the Mart guy gives you a potion, but i add the line i want, compile, then i reopen the script and it's gone? Any Ideas?

 

[1KewlDude]

When you compile you should get a new offset and you should have the option to copy that offset. You then paste it into the 'Script Offset' box. That's the only thing I could think of that you're not doing.

Although, you know that the appearance of the code changes right? So it won't appear how you typed it, it will appear the way the rest of the code is read.

 

[Vallander]

lol thats actually good for me to know as well since im trying to learn scripting XD
nice map btw josh. are those tiles from the ROM Base i posted? lol i havent messed with it too much yet.

 

[joshj5hawk]

Thanks a lot, and yea they are, i just took a screen shot with AM, i forgot to go to the events tab when i did it, but there is a tree to cut down to get to that pokecenter =]

I hope you don't mind me saying, but I think the map is a little empty... The whole right side is plain and the left side doesn't have anything interesting... You should get some different shapes, it's a typical rectangular landscape and eveything is square... Try some flowers and bushes and a tree here and there to add some colour and interest.

Anyway, I'm almost finished with my work. I just have one complicated script to sort out and then I can let you have a look, Sitrow.

 

[joshj5hawk]

Hey no problem, i'll take all the criticism i can get. When i was working on that map, i was just trying to get something done to show Sitrow. And thanks for the help with the scripting, as you can see, i got it figured out =]

 

[Vallander]

not bad guys :)

again no rush with anything since im goin to be pretty busy myself lol.

thanks for the maps ya they are empty but thats about all i was looking for was just an example.

thanks again for ur help guys!

btw u dont have to call me sitrow u can call me wil lol. kind of weird bein called by my UN. lol

EDIT: btw i dont remember if i mentioned earlier, but i am extremely new to hacking, so sorry if it sometimes takes me awhile to get things done. (still getting 100 percent aquainted with the programs. still goin through the tutorial on XSE lol. )

also btw, i was wonderin since ive never tried anythin like that: how did u run that singular map on VBA?

EDIT2: not to be a total butthead in case u guys were working on this with the other ROM Base but i found another ROM base zeikku made and its got some pretty sweet tiles! you guys should check it out.

 

[joshj5hawk]

Heyy.
So, I was wondering if there is anything specific you would like me to do? Complete re-maps of towns, change the order around. I'm kinda lookin' for something, idk, a Challenge =]
