Ruby hack: Pokemon Hydrogen/Oxygen-Spriting Help Needed

[Burninating_Torchic]

Alright, here's my first hack: Pokemon Hydrogen and Pokemon Oxygen. Hard to tell which one I'll make first. Anyways, here's the statistics:

Hack of Fire Red(probably)

Info:
Pokemon Names/Types/Breif Descriptions: 95%
Detailed Info: 0%

Actual Hack:

Maps: 0.1%-Pallet, Route 1, and Viridian have been changed, but probably not their final version.
Sprites: 0%-See Below
Text Changes: 0%-Rubikon officially hates me! Yay!
Everything Else-0%

Ok, here's the deal with the sprites. I royally suck at making sprites. So badly that my sprites make babies cry. I think theyre pretty good, but, the majority of sane people beg to differ. So...I need help from a good spriter. There will be rewards for people who help sprite. Here is the first batch of Pokemon I want sprited, as they will be the ones that will be in the first areas of the game. The faster these get done, the faster a v0.1 demo will be released.

So yeah. Help on the sprites is needed. Other then that, I'll be working on the rest of what is needed for the demo to be released.

K if ya need some help with texting just ask. Good luck and i look forward to a beta.

 

[blueguy]

From the list of pokemon so far, it looks excellent. I hope you can follow through with this. ;) I LOVE the name. Do Oxygen first... Hmm... I'd be willing to help sprite a few things, if you'd like.

I think I'll put up a poll(if I can figure out how, lol) as to which version people would like me to make first...
Anyways, please do help. I've seen your work on Shadows of Eternity, and you're not bad at all. Go ahead and help.

 

[blueguy]

Cool. ;) Danka for the comment. Which sprites do you want/need the most right now? I predict that most people will like Oxygen better than Hydrogen... just a gut feeling. Anyways...

 

[Kronos]

If you need help with mapping, just ask.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

the ones I need the most are probably the starter lines and the flyrant line, so that's 1 through 12. But really, the ones I need the most are all the ones I posted, so :P

Anyways, programs continue to hate me! yay! I tried out pokepic. Well, when I tried to open the fire red rom Ive been editing in elite map, a sharing violation occured. So then, I tried to open another copy of the fire red rom. At least a sharing violation occured, so I figured I was set. I typed in "1" into the thingy and pressed enter, and the program closed. Same thing happened for "001" and "2". Anybody know how I'm supposed to use pokepic?

 

[blueguy]

Oooh! I just finished the fire starter. I did it in record time, too. Tell me whatcha think! If you want to use it, please give me credit. I made it all by myself. ;) If anything needs to be changed give me a heads up.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

wow...it pwns the crap out of mine. Good job.

kronos-no, mapping seems to be the one thing I can figure out, lol.

But yeah, does anyone know what's wrong with my pokepic/what I'm supposed to do?

 

[blueguy]

As for sharing violations, were you editing your rom in any other programs, like EliteMap, Bewildered, Spread, etc.? If so, that is why... or at least I think so...

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

no, elitemap is the only one I edited it in so far. But, speak of the devil:

Try and open it in bewildered-can't find wild pokemon database
try and open it in P-E-T-can't find sprites
baseedit-can't find pokemon database

So, looks like nothing but elitemap will work for me. great. Unless someone knows exactly what's wrong and how to fix all these problems, Pokemon Hydrogen/Oxygen is officially postponed and/or cancelled.

if u get some of those sprites done and theya re qualtiy i will help u with everything

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

that was an unneeded and useless comment, aka SPAM, in my opinion. I can do everything except the spriting my self, once someone tells me how to get these other programs working.
If that was an offer to do everything for me in the programs I can't get to work, thanks, but I'd rather just get the programs working.

 

[blueguy]

I seriously think the problem is the ROM you are hacking. Try to download a different one and see if the same problems arise. K?

That seriously could be the problem. But, the problem is...I CAN'T FIND ANY! It took me like a week to find this one, and I can't find any more...blech...I just plain can't find any clean fire red roms. And I know asking for the link to one is against the rules...I have some searching to do...

 

[Goatman56]

Wow blueguy thats a good sprite. The game sounds great lets see iff you can go through with it :D.

 

[Burninating_Torchic]

I could if these stupid programs would work...I need soo much help X_X
heck, I'm even considering making it in RPG Maker if I can't get these programs to work -___-

 

[Frostbite]

Your hack sounds cool B_T. I'm good at spriting. I'll help you out. I'll try to do the Grass snakes.

EDIT: How's this?

EDIT2: Custom looking one

 

[Scyther]

[blueguy]

Yes, but if the head were removed and a new head was fashioned it would look quite good.
