Pokémon FireRed re-map... Thingy.

[Asday]

I think I should start this with me pointing out everything I have done wrong. Luckily, someone's compiled a list I can put ticks next to. The spoiler is all me bashing myself, and therefore optional reading.

Spoiler:

1. Grammar
Nope.

2. Mapping- tile errors
- bare and/or unoriginal maps Unoriginal, yes.
- maps that have obvious similarities to the originals (example: you can tell that that was once Pewter City and you just made slight changes) That's the idea of this one.

3. Storyline
- The repetitive Nintendo storyline Same game, so yeah.

4. Graphics, Sprites, & Tiles
- Tiles that don't flow well together Probably.
- Hacks based soley on a graphic, tile, or palette changes Sorry, yeah.

5. Pokemon
- Pokemon that are too strong to be found in early parts of the game (example: a wild Skarmory on the first route) Not done that yet.

6. Miscellaneous
- hackers that put themselves and their work down (example: "I am a n00b and this is my first hack so go easy on me.) Yep, a hella lot.

So. Got bored, messed around with Advance Map, (figured out how to save maps... Apparently you just press the "save" button. Cryptic) and FireRed, and started making the maps look... Well, better, I hope. Not done all maps, (have done movement permissions, though, wheee) but the ones I have done (that I can remember) are route below Pallet, the ones between there, Cinnibar, Fushcia, then cycling path (oops, forgottone that one's name) and then route 1, Viridian, that route to the victory path place, etc, and all around there, and route 2. (Route 2's my pride and joy so far)

I should probably have made that a list. Meh. Sorry. Also, victory path (or that place around it where you have your badges checked) isn't too good, blah blah, you know the whole "I'm no good" drill I assume. Started on Pewter, but that's it so far.

I'm not 100% if I can post images with this postcount, but I'll try, in the next post. Also assuming I can't have attachments, so the IPS is at sara.and.zuka.googlepages dot com/butchered.ips

Just want to know if there's any need for me to continue notifying the public of my "work", or whether I should continue my hobby in the dark.

Thanks for reading.

I wouldn't really call this a hack if it has no storyline, it's based on graphics only, and unoriginal maps. :\

 

[Asday]

The pictures!

K, so, as I thought, still not allowed to post images. Screenies are at sara.and.zuka.googlepages dot com, slash sp-pkfr_0*.png, where * = 1 to 9.

Well,if it's not a hack, what is it? Also, where did I call it a hack?

Additional info: I ama moron, and have probably placed this in the wrong forum, and also, I've bumped into 2 invisible walls so far... Time to go fix that!

1st off, isn't that the showcase rules?
asday as soon as u get 15 posts u can post screenies. i'm doing basically the same thing as this but mine does have other features like u can visit other regions towns and that kinda thing. i have to come up with a name and make a new thread 4 it though...

 

[Asday]

Sorry, which bit are you referring to, when you say it's the showcase rules? Also, I was under the impression that this was the showcase dropout forum, and the least intrusive place to put my thread.

As I said, not really intending to take this anywhere, just making it look nicer. Might make the game an actual challenge, later, but I'm notkeep on just upping levels, which just makes people grind, blah blah, AI, blah, Technique, blah strategy.

yah i'm doing that to my game too. and btw i meant the section where it's like "grammar" and "mapping" and you kinda insult ur hack. i just actually read the scrapbox rules and it said u can't post IPS files and if ur game has a way to be played already it should be in the showcase so idk

 

[Asday]

Yeah, I insult it. I said I would. (^-^")

Meh, I put up the IPS so peeps could look at it ingame, or in advancemap, and there's no way I'm putting it in the showcase at this stage. Technically, I didn't post the IPS, I gave very obvious clues as to it's location. Hooray, vaguaries. (Is that a word?)

 

[.com]

well, they don't always inforce the IPS rule bc 90% of the threads on here have like IPS betas , even multiple. Mine so far probably could be a release. I got like 3-4 towns and routes done just a really early demo-thing. idk. check it out on the 2nd page of this scrapbox. It's "untitled pokemon fire red hack"

 

[Asday]

Linky linky. If peeps read this thread in a week, I'll betcha your thread won't be in the same place.

Also, if they pull the no IPSs here, I'll pull the idiotic interpretation of language,and get banned.

I was so close to 15 posts, aswell...

 

[.com]

15 posts is to post pics and links. idk for attachments. it lets my do attachments, but i tried and it said the upload failed and i tried a few times, so i just upload on filefactory w/out an acct or nething. https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=146236 lol that's my thread if u wanna look and test the demo/pre-pre-beta thing. a bunch of screenshots too.

I do not see the point of this thread. You do not even have a storyline or features. When you do, PM Christos or myself.
