Ruby hack: POKéMON Ruby Destiny - Rescue Rangers [Hack of the Month July 2008]

[NecroFlame]

Wow, this is amazing. I like the plot alot.
Hmm, you said "This is the last event of the main storyline".
Is there gonna be some new plot after that event?

This game by far is the best hack I've played, judging from Originality, Storyline, etc.

Keep up the awesome work!

Major Glitch-

when you die against regirock you get reincarnated to the first level then walking around you
get to the eevee event.


Then die again then you go to aerodactyl, and keeps repeating.

Damn that is annoying well this means that the next beta will come out soon i guess!!!

what will happen after the main storyline???

and on the term of the new beta...

I have said it before *Puppy dog eyes* Pwease can I hewp in some way *blinks*

after the main storyline?
the player will then search for answers on how did they end up being a POKéMON... ;)

I already know that one, haven't spared time to fix some old scripts, but I'll deal with it after I am done scripting all the important/major scripts for beta 4... ;)

~~~UPDATE~~~
Sunday... Sigh... -_-​

Here are some new screenies of the inside cave before you can reach the final battle against the boss...

Again, Angeallen and Devihell will block your path...
If you need to know why, though.., here's a spoiler of what had happened...

Spoiler:

Little did you know, during your travel through Mineral Cave to get to Pokétropolis, the Dragon Castle, where the 4 guardian dragons are, has been attacked by a mysterious shadow, making the guardian dragons, except for Rayquaza, which is always on a hunt for new territory, were cursed and became evil, however, Breatherna, the Guardian of Life, nullifies the effect and flee away to safety, for she has no match against both Angeallen and Devihell...
Breatherna spreads the news of what had happened, and so, Latios informed you of what happened.

That would be all...
Thankies pipz~

I like the new screenies of Beta 4.I like the idea of battling Angeallen and Devihell in a double battle.The hack is awesome.Good work Jagold!

 

[ShineGreymΘn]

Love the new update!
Can't wait for a new beta!:D

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Uhm...

What should I do? When I came from Vextra Woods (yay!), I ended up on a beach with Aerith. There is nothing to do there, except the Abra in front of the TV in Aerith's house....
Is that maybe the end of beta 3.2?

 

[destinedjagold]

~~~UPDATE~~~
I'm getting sleepy...​

Hey there pipz... Enough with the last event updates... Now, I'll bring you some tasks from the guild in POKéTROPOLIS where you'll be moving after getting your fourth Rescue Badge...

I'm still not sure of the order of these tasks, but oh well...
So far, 2 tasks are done now, in the same map location, which is 'Fruits Basket'...

Here are some screenies.

By the way, I edited the credits in the first post, if you must know.
In the screenies, you can see two new tree tiles, both are from WAH, which I credited. :3

Enjoy and thankies~

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

The trees' palletes are a little mixed, right?

 

[destinedjagold]

The trees' palletes are a little mixed, right?

eheheh... I guess so... :\ Oh well...

~~~UPDATE~~~
It's weird to map and script without a plot...​

Today, I bring you all the place where the 'shadow' caused some trouble.

The Tropius there is the chief of Rintah Hamlet.
That peaceful place was covered by the 'shadow' and turned the POKéMON there evil, and you were sent by the guild to stop them.

That would be all.
Thankies and happy hacking~

Awesome work djg!!

i cant wait for beta 4

 

[jimsta]

cool Sandshrew i meen DJG , just wondering will you ever see the bosses/teams uve betten ,again?
e.g. Aerodactyl,Team GreenLeaf, Scyther Sqaud?

also my own idea :
when you get close to the end the rescue teams uve beaten come back and you have a little dialogue with them and the say they now look up to you and team meenies turns good ^_^


CHEERS!

 

[andwhyisit]

the main reason why they won't evolve is because it could ruin the balance of the game... For instance, the overworlds... and the back sprite... :\

You could always remove the back sprite by replacing it entirely with the transparency colour if you want, it would make things a little bit easier. For now the back sprites look nice but they are limiting what you can do with the hack.

Actually I might test some ideas I have. What hacking tools do you use (besides a hex editor)?

 

[Platinum Lucario]

Hey destinedjagold, I've know in PMD2 the name is Primal Dialga not Dark Dialga,
anyway I can't wait for beta 4 to be released, and good luck on Rescue Rangers! :)

 

[Tropical Sunlight]

Oh, I just can't wait for beta 4!
But why did they turn into Pokemon, anyways?

well, team GreenLeaf will be in Pokétropolis. the scyther squad and Aerodactyl will still have some scenes though... I just don't know what, since I'm hacking without a plot in my hands. :P

also, your idea sounds a bit, er, easy...
I prefer making things difficult though, but I like your idea, too. :)

hm.., I was thinking about it as well though, however, I liked it the way it is now.
Pikachu, Torchic and Chikorita will still be and will always be there. :D

Oh yeah... I forgot... sorry 'bout that. :P
thankies~

thanks, and why, you ask? :\ hm... dunno as well...
I'll think about it, but right now, I'll trouble myself with Chapter 2, and in Chapter 3 is where they'll investigate why they turned into POKéMON, or maybe I could put it in Chapter 2 as well, hm... dunno... :\

~~~UPDATE~~~
I'm getting sleepy... eheheh...​

Hello there pipz!
Today I'm gonna show you all the things I have done with the new map area, Shadow Valley.., the place where there're lots and lots of......

quicksand... :P

That would be all for now.
I'm still not yet done with the main script in that area though, but I'm getting sleepy... Maybe by tomorrow, I can finish the events there.
See ya and happy hacking~

 

[Bombah!]

Heya
I´ve downloaded the beta, and I have to say, I like the idea (Except Pikachu. I hate it -.-).
I like your OWs, and your mapping isn´t bad either.
But the trees... they look strange on the sides...

And, I don´t like the fact that Team Meaney (hope this was right^^) is fully evolved on lvl 5 - 7 (first battle)

But overall, I like it. Good luck^^
Bombah!

 

[Binary]

Nice, I love the updates.
The plot sounds really nice and the scripting is going on really well.
Nice work bud!

 

[andwhyisit]

hm.., I was thinking about it as well though, however, I liked it the way it is now.
Pikachu, Torchic and Chikorita will still be and will always be there. :D

But... I wanna choose my character as charmander. :(

Eheheheh... Maybe next time when I feel to hack another PMD-like hack. :3

~~~UPDATE~~~
I skipped some parts and left this one out... eheheh...​

Hello there pipz! Good thing I remembered about Twilight Lake, which I forgot to script the main event there. :P
Anyways, I'm now done scripting the events there, which you'll be having a battle with the Guardian of Twilight Lake, Amorswan. :3

Amorswan's overworld is still in process.
Thankies and happy hacking and good day~

~~~UPDATE 2~~~
I'm getting hungry... Eheheh...​

Hi pipz! Another update!
Here are screenies to show you all the main event in Shadow Valley.

That would be all.
Thankies and have a great day~

 

[MudMast]
