Event Schedule

Here's the plan, first...

Round 1

Theme: Pokémon Forever!
Description: In this round, the script must have something about Pokémon. It could be something from a givepokemon to wildbattle.
Deadline: August 14, 2010

Round 2

Theme: The Quest for Knowledge!
Description: Your script should be something related to giving out a quest. It can be something from "Give me back 5 Oran Berries" to "Defeat this Pokémon". Be as imaginative as you can.
Deadline: None yet.

Round 3

Yup, do whatever you want with the script! Whether it'd be from a battle to a quest+battle, whatever you want! ^_^
Oh and if you want to join Round 3, then submit a script for Round 1, Round 2, AND Round 3. Good luck!

The Prizes

Self-explanatory. xD Give Zeffy a round of applause for making both the thread and the emblems and hosting this whole event x]

 

[psychicboy]

I'll be joining this one. Will be a nice break from my hack :P

Alright just look which day it is and fill out the form. ^^

 

[psychicboy]

Right, watch this space for my app.

 

[icychill66]

I'm confused. Why isn't a callasm allowed? And why isn't Jpan's Hacked Engine allowed? I want to submit a really cool script I've made, but it has things from ASM and Jpan's Hacked Engine. I have a callasm to a routine I made that simply checks the first party pokemon's level, and I have a multichoice box and a "wild pokemon level setter" which involve the use of the hacked engine. I'm confused why those things aren't allowed because it is certainly a part of scripting, and they are used to make the best scripts. Can you shed some light on this for me, please?

I dunno. I would've allowed it, but Zeffy didn't want it. But actually, just give me the script. It won't hurt. :P Don't worry, I'll talk it out with Zeffy. Just post your script.

K thanks! I'll post it later, and I'll add comments to show exactly what's going on in the script. It's rather complicated.

I'll enter! I think this will be fun!

A video can help if you want. Or you can post a screenshot. =P

Just use the form and post your script once you get it. x]

Seeing the above post, I think you should add a rule concerning the tool being used. And I doubt any of the judges use PKSV. So, I'm sure you'll need some one who understands PKSV scripting.

I had a tiny bit. But now looking at it made me erase it. xD But that's alright. I'll just get pksv, and then paste that script and test it myself ^^

Notes: Uses JPAN's Engine, and MM_X's Day/Night. Without them, it's impossible to work :(

Seeing the above post, I think you should add a rule concerning the tool being used. And I doubt any of the judges use PKSV. So, I'm sure you'll need some one who understands PKSV scripting.

PKSV, XSE, Pokescript, or anything that can be used to script can be used. But if they use Pokescript, they need to submit a patch of the hack with the script inserted. :>

I'm confused. Why isn't a callasm allowed? And why isn't Jpan's Hacked Engine allowed? I want to submit a really cool script I've made, but it has things from ASM and Jpan's Hacked Engine. I have a callasm to a routine I made that simply checks the first party pokemon's level, and I have a multichoice box and a "wild pokemon level setter" which involve the use of the hacked engine. I'm confused why those things aren't allowed because it is certainly a part of scripting, and they are used to make the best scripts. Can you shed some light on this for me, please?

ASM = You can do almost anything.
JPAN's Patch = Same as above, except limited.
And we're going to compile the scripts ourselves too, and we won't use any modifications in the ROM.

Very basic and early script :P

If that's the case, I'll give you a patch of the needed prerequisites if needed :)

Comments: This isn't the really complicated script I was talking about earlier, but it is still really nifty. I thought this would be a better fit for Round 1 of this contest. I'll submit the other one tommorrow! Also, I got a shiny Pidgey to appear to show the shiny feature of this script! It happens at the 1 minute mark in the video :) You'll have to download the patch on this post because Jpan's hacked engine is used, too. Just go down the stairs in the first room, and it takes you to the gym garden. Anyway, enjoy!

First Round - Judging

Round 1 - Judging
I'm awesome, yay! ^_^

Deadline of entries: August 14, 2010;12:00 AM; UTC+8 Timezone

Judging of Entries
How will it happen? I don't know!

Your scripts will be judged into 4 different categories; Originality and Uniqueness, Conversation Grammar and Spelling, Creativity, and Script.

Originality and Uniqueness - 30%

In order to get a high grade in this category, you need to have an original script. A script that has been seen before and too common will get a low score, while those new and haven't been seen before ones will get a high score.

Conversation Grammar and Spelling - 15%

To get a high score in this category, your script needs to have good grammar and correct spelling.

Creativity - 10%

To get high score in this category, you need to be s imaginative as you can.

Script - 30%

To get a high score in this category, your script needs to work. If you use any kind of assembly modification, you have a big chance to get a moderate score in this category. Although it all depends on your script..

Overall - 100%

Conclusion
I therefore conclude that Pikachu is awesome!

Remember to consider those categories judges! And have fun scripters; you have 12 hours left as of this post.

 

[mervyn797]

In the 2nd round, only the best of those who entered in Round 1 will be selected (max of 10).

XD best of round 1... which are those? :\
