Approved: Pokemon speedhack planning

[Kevin]

I like the third the best.

And good thinking, how can we prove that? Maybe make them record their progress using Hypercam or something...?

 

[NurseBarbra]

I was thinking we'd a rom base or something, That wouldn't edit anything major, but maybe the title screen or a script in the rom or something, that they wouldn't know is in there but we can check to see if the script is there at the offset, if it is, we'd have proof, if not then disqualification... or something

 

[RHIOneAlbum]

Well, I was giving freedom, they can do a base, they can do a TS edit, or they can make a alpha to a hack. I wanna see what PC comes up with :D

 

[NurseBarbra]

IN OTHER NEWS, First post updated and I agree, the third Css is the nicest.

 

[RHIOneAlbum]

Should I take the italics out and submit to Hiroshi after someone tells me if DrFuji is judging?

 

[NurseBarbra]

Fuji said he can't so...Emm... yeah

 

[RHIOneAlbum]

Fuji said he can't so...Emm... yeah

Aight, who would be a good 5th Judge? I'm thinking Fireworks or Team Fail, what do you think?

 

[NurseBarbra]

they sound like good choices. Lets go with them if they agree.

 

[RHIOneAlbum]

they sound like good choices. Lets go with them if they agree.

What one? We can't have 6 :P
I'll ask fireworks first, then TF

 

[Kevin]

Well, unless RHIOneAlbum comes back, we'll need another host. Any ideas who?

 

[Kevin]

So. Who's up for hosting?

Well, we don't necessarily need another host. Me and NurseBarbra can manage.

But who has emblems ready?

 

[Kevin]

Two hosts and how many judges? Well, it's not like this hasn't happened before. If you get banned, you lose EO. :(

We could use either one extra judge (panel of three) or three extra (panel of five) like in the Map-Off.

...But. Fireworks suggested not to make this a contest at all. Like, it could encourage rushed hacks. And I was thinking in the end we could just give every participant an emblem for participating, and make some type of archive for the Speedhacks. It sounds easier in my opinion, but unless everyone else wants to make this a contest, then okay.

 

[Kevin]

Well, IDK. Last year when I did my event, GT7 lasted well into the week. If this GT does, we could extend this competition.

In a PM Hiroshi suggested that the event shouldn't span for a week, but in the span of four days.

 

[NurseBarbra]

We will. I'm currently more concerned with the actual thread Hiroshi, Is there any way to get the Css code that RHI was working on from his post?

 

[Kevin]

(Did not give permission for that layout to be used)

Do you mean he stole that CSS?

 

[Kevin]

We don't even need a CSS if we don't have one. As long as it looks neat and organized. I can remake the thread with plain text if we can't get a CSS. No biggie.

 

[NurseBarbra]

I was actually thinking one of the others.... - _ -"
And we still need a theme for it, aswell as pudding.

The Thread

The PokéCommunity Get-Together 8

Pokémon Speed Hacking Event

Hosted by Destiny Demon and NurseBarbra.

Pokémon ROM hacking has been a popular hobby since, well, Pokémon came out! Made famous by hacks like Mewthree9000's Chaos Black, Linkandzelda's Liquid Crystal, Serg!o's Naranja, etc. Now Pokécommunity holds the largest community of ROM Hackers for Pokémon, and we have a fun way to contest your abilities!

We present to you... The Pokémon Speed Hacking Event contest! In this competition, you will create a hack in four days. This can be challenging, yet quite intriguing! I, Destiny Demon, and NurseBarbra wish all the contestants good luck on making your Speedhack.

Schedule

July 15-18 - Make your Speedhack
July 19th-22nd - Testing & Judging days
July 23rd - The results are in!

Rules

- Must have a good game-play time (minimum of 30 minutes)
- Must be made in four days
- No more than three people working together
- Don't steal hacks
- Use the following format to sumbit your Speedhack

Judging

Along with me and NurseBarbra, we will have two additional guest judged to help test out and judge the hacks. They will be Winter Wonderland and Team Fail. Please note the criteria we will be using for judging (all out of ten points):
Mapping
Scripting
Originality

Final Notes

The ROM Base is suggested to be a Gen. III format, but other generation ROMs may be used, as long as it is finished in the span of four days. Spin-off games aren't allowed in this Speedhacking contest.

There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place emblem provided. All participants regardless of if they won or not will receive an emblem for participating in this event.

In the end we will make an archive of all the Speedhacks for others to play outside of the Get-Together forum.

 

[Kevin]

Alright, now we have the thread pretty much covered, we'll need emblems. I'm not the best graphic-maker, so yeah. :P

 

[NurseBarbra]

I'll make some "Emblems" now.. (even though I suck at graphics...)
