FireRed hack: Pokemon: Magic Version

[PatJamma]

Introduction: Well I'm PatJamma you may or may not know me but I'm a cool fun loving guy and my summer break is finally here and I thought to myself: "what am I going to do over the summer?"
Here is what I thought of:

Pokemon: Magic Version​

Hack by: PatJamma (my first hack)​

Hack of: Pokemon FireRed (U.S. version)​

Story: (Takes place after GSC/HGSS) In the River Fish region (based on the [future] shape of the map) there was an evil organization know as Team Terror. Team Terror's leader recently found the plans of the former Team Rocket while on vacation in Johto. Using these plans he built a portable transmitter that sent the same signal that made the Red Gyarados. He then took that transmitter to Lake Tail Fin and redid Team Rocket's experiment. His experiment also made all of the Magikarp very angry and they are no longer evolving! However this time something far more powerful emerged as the final result…
While all of this evil is happening you (the player) is starting your adventure in Little Fin Town by getting your starter Pokemon from Professor Pine.

Features:

• Uncapitalization – No more "PIKACHU used THUNDER" or "POKeMON" this includes names of towns, people, Pokemon, items, and attacks
• Two (could change see below) Rivals – The normal rival and me =P
• Some type changes – Gyarados is now water/dragon and a few other changes
• All trade evolution Pokemon have been changed – Such as using a moon stone on haunter to evolve it
• New region called River Fish
• One (might change) Fakemon (main legendary)
• Gym leader types changed
• New overworlds? – the player might stay the same because I can't edit the back sprites for the player
• New starters – Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, and Mudkip

Screenshots:

Spoiler:

Going to Prof. Pine's Lab

Picking your starter

Maps:

Spoiler:

Little Fin Town (Starting town)

Downloads: None yet =P

Userbars: None yet =P
If people want to make userbars for my hack please use any of the following pokemon in them: Magikarp, Gyarados, Cyndaquil, Bulbasaur, or Mudkip

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Want to get in the hack? Here is how you do it!

• Tell me what scripting program is the easiest and find me the tutorial for it, then PM/VM what pokemon you want your character to have.
• Explain how offsets work in Advance map (this will also bring the screenshots on the page), then PM/VM what pokemon you want your character to have.
• Explain/link me to a tutorial on unlz-gba on why I keep getting errors, then PM/VM what pokemon you want your character to have.
• Help with editing the title screen by linking to a tutorial, then PM/VM what pokemon you want your character to have.

Doing any of these does not instantly grant you a place in my hack I have to be able to fully understand the help provided for you to get a spot in the hack!!!

Um, there are tile errors in these screen shots. =p I suggest you fix them. Like in Little Fin Town, Mt. Shiver base/peak, Gil Town.

If it is one of the screenshots of one of the towns i will fix it now but if it is one on the mountains i will do it later as those are not very important at the moment. So what one was it?

Edit: uhh could you point them out as I really cant see them

Look back at the first post. I edited it. Little Fin Town. Gil Town, and Mt. Shiver base/peak.

I wonder why that town looks so much like Pallet Town when it's supposed to be a new place...hmmm...

That could be a number of things: 1. No custom tiles that change the area drastically. 2. Maybe you are not seeing it the way i do. 3. You might think that the top left house is the players but it isn't

I thought the same thing... I think it's because of the custom tiles. =< But you don't need custom tiles. Maybe you should add more stuff to it. Like more trees, or use the block editor to erase the grass path. I think it's the Pallet Town grass path that needs to be removed.

or mabye it's because the fence next to the lab is in the same place, it's the same size, the people are in the same place, the water is in the same place, and also the script with the guy in the marts script is not your work, it is a mere text edit of a firered script made by gamefreak.

hmm i left the fence where it is because i had no problem with it being there and as for the water i am not changing that because i already made plans for where it goes and as for the mart script im going to make the Professor turn into the old man laying down (will change it as soon as i decide what the professor will look like) and have him mumble something about getting medicine in Gil Town and as i said there will be something different about the event

Edit: ...There are no people in that map shot so how would you know they are in the same place or not?

 

[altariaking]

soooooo basically you're doing small edits to maps and small edits to scripts? wow. can't wait.

Because the first screen shot still has that girl looking up, (sign girl). Change that by changing the person event number. =\

ahh that well i cant script YET so she is staying there until i can learn how to script

No need to be rude. :t354:

If you can't script and you don't understand mapping, which is what I get from your screen shots, then I would recommend improving before you start a hack :\.

Without scripting you are only changing what people say, which is extremely limiting and boring.

Your maps are full of errors, weird things, and the town is obviously a pallet town edit as someone else said.

Oh i understand mapping just not offsets (i kinda do but...) and plus i have the whole summer to learn how to do things (first on the list is scripting) as for the errors i really don't car about those ATM because if i change a map completely there is no point of fixing errors right away

 

[vietazn654]

Scripting? You can't script =o So basically you're just going to edit maps? I think (I think) that the main part of a hack is scripting, as it tells what you're doing and where you can and can't go and changes the storyline. =\ So I suggest you learn scripting.

Well yes I am learning how to script. it is a very slow pace in fact i was more concerned about school (im on summer break now) and getting the thread up because i thought that people would be more open and wanting to help but i guess people dont want to be in hacks any more...

Offtopic: Some people around the world started school. xD I'm ending school soon on June 24.
On topic: Scripting is easy once you get used to it. I learned it, and I'm 11. lol. Everyone sucks at first. You just have to practice.

First hack ?! You are preety good ! I'm making my first hack too !And weah it looks like pallet but you changed it so it doesn't look like pallet ! Good luck with this !

 

[Sarcastic Prince]

Hmm... maybe you should learn scripting and hire a mapper first before
trying to post this Hack. It'll be better.

HAHAHA why else do you think I wanted to post this? so people would be kind enough and help explain scripting of course! And as for getting a mapper I will not be doing that at all because it is my first hack possibly my only hack and I want to be the only one who edits the ROM itself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UPDATE: An Alpha will be posted shortly after I learn how to script. Maybe a week after I learn. NOT IN A WEEK SO DON'T BE ASKING FOR IT NEXT WEDNESDAY!
