FireRed hack: Pokemon FireRed Minus (GBC demake)

[ablahblah987]

Awesome. I'm considering making a hack and this would be a big help. Thanks

Will the OW sprites (player, all NPCs and Pokémon) be demade? I don't think the original FRLG sprites look compatible with the GBC-styled overworld environment.

^ Taking the original RBY Sprites from wherever part of the internet you want (Spriters-resource, for example) and putting them into the game should be a really easy thing to do.

yes they will. I've seemed to omitted that detail from the intro so that has been edited.

Sorry all, I've been a little sidetracked with a few other small projects these last couple of weeks, but I'll try to get back on this full force. Since the last post I've got the Celadon Condos done as well as a little of the Dept. Store. and Casino.

And what about the music? I'd like to hear some RBY songs or "8-bit" version of FRLG songs.
(Some FRLG songs' main tracks have additional parts than RBY ones, e.g, Route 3, Vermilion City and Cinnabar Island, so they still sound different when "demade" into 8-bit style)

There was somebody who managed to import the RBY music into FireRed so I was thinking of asking for their help when the project was done but it's not a priority. The FRLG demake songs sounds like a cool idea also, but again I alone dont have the ability to do something like that.

Hack looks great! Can't wait to try it.

I always wanted a Kanto remake in the style of GSC! Awesome work. How close are you now to finishing all the mapping?

sorry for the lack of updates on this everyone. The last few months have been hard with the combination of sadness and laziness killing all my motivation to work.

I'd say about 60% of the towns are completely done. Working in the direction one would play the game, I just finished Celadon and the Rocket Game Corner and am moving on to Lavender. I got discouraged because one of the houses being linked to one in Celadon so if anyone knows of a fix let me know.

 

[CelticsPhan]

One of the houses linked to Celadon? You don't mean the Underground Path that leads to Celadon right? Or is it the one of the buildings next to Erika's gym?

yeah it's the middle one at the southern end of Celadon.

these two houses in Lavender are affected.

Just an update to show this thing's not dead! just finished the last floor of Silph Co. One of the few maps I had to take some edits to, due to there not being equivalent tiles from RBY to GSC and the original map looking kinda weird anyway. I may do an edit down the line to make the table hexagonal like in the original, but for now here it is

I like the looks of this, keep up the good work Krusty.

You going to consider changed the OWs, and battle BGs?

Or, evern going as far as changing the HP bars in battle to match GSC?
That would make this hack even more top-notch.

 

[Roger Davis]

Glad to see this isn't dead! Also I'm pretty sure the OP said they would change the overworlds and battle hud and everything, but that maps and pokemon sprites were first.

 

[KrustyKong]

safari zone has been completed! added a little more decorations in the last house since the orignal was a little barren. also, going to update the OP again to include that I do plan on changing the battle backgrounds and HP bars.

 

[Del]

LOL its kinda cute!

 

[Roger Davis]

Seeing the Safari Zone in GSC style gets me excited! Will you be including things like decapitalization as well? Though nearly everything was in capital letters in the original games, I do feel a lot of people prefer when the game isn't randomly shouting. Have you given thought to which you'll do yet? Also there is a method of making cut bushes only have to be cut once instead of each time the map changed, it was a nifty thing in Pokemon Throwback and I was wondering if you'd be making tweaks like that here.

The decap patch is already installed, although I think I may include an optional re-cap patch once this is finished. I think it'll add to the classic UI.
As for the Throwback styled cut bushes, I'd totally be willing to add that in. I don't that's a thing anyone would miss.

back with an update! Seafoam Island is all mapped now, save for the waterfall and current tiles. I can see the latter forming a bit of a problem since there's no GSC equivalent, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.
