Team Thread: Pokemon Scandal (Cry Editor Needed!)

_____________________________________________________________

Team Name: Project SCANDAL
Hack Name: Pokemon Scandal --LIVE TOUR--
ROM Base: Fire Red(U)
Language: English, Mild-Japanese​

Hello everyone! I'm leachim_paloyz15 here, and I bring you a hack that I cannot certify whether I'll be able to finish through time..

I've been around here on PC since the ages, I've been busy studying the art of hacking by form of tutorials.. and I must say, at least now I can do something or things in hacking.

I have at least 3 to 4 hacks that have failed to materialize.. That's why this time, before I graduate from college.. I want to at least finish 1 project.


But that's enough about me..


This hack, is mainly about a JROCK group, "SCANDAL." And no, they're not the ones who told me to do this. I don't know, I just came up with this idea to fuse/combine all the things that I like into a one single ultimate game. ^^​

"Join SCANDAL as they take part in liberating conquered Japan!"




The year is 2015, the Japanese archipelago has lost almost
60% of its initial land area due to a foreign invasion..

Europe, later changed its name to EUTOPIA, obtained the
strongest military power accessible to mankind.

This power was branded as KNIGHT SUITS. PROJECT KNIGHTS
(プラジクト･ナイトズ), was originally an underground Japanese
experiment.. To maintain peace and order in their lands..
Well that was the original plan, but things went out of
their hands, when a European professor involved in the
project leaked the information about the research. In a blink
of an eye, the whole underground facility; destroyed, all
personnel involved in the project were all but dead, and all
their gathered information; snatched away...

You live in the MELMOND AREA, former Japanese territory of
SHIKOKU, the farthest place that the EUTOPIAN ARMY can reach
from south. From the north, HOKKAIDO have been conquered as
well, leaving only the HONSHU region independent.

SCANDAL, an all-girl Japanese rock band, was very popular
before the EUTOPIAN INVASION, and even after the historical
event. You and your friend has always been a big fan of
SCANDAL.. Even before the sour turn of events.

A peace treaty that was established, and is supposed to
cease the hostilities between the two warring nations have
been agreed and signed on by the two respective leaders..
That said, all the hostilities should have stopped.. But
doubt cannot be placed out of the picture...

With all of these events happening at the same time, what
would you do?.. Which side will you favor to?.. Will you be
able to stay on that side?..

~Play out to find out!~​

-New Region (*Melmond/Shikoku)
-Canta (*Yep. It's a feature.)
-New Characters
-Collect different Knight Suits, and use them to battle pokemon(*and/or other Knight Suits.)
-Quite a different story
-Day & Night System
-Japanese Music (*I don't know about you guys, but I really like this.)

IN-DEVELOPMENT: - UPDATED!!​

Pokemon Invasion (*Possible Prequel || *Possible New Storyline for Live Tour)

After a long period of isolation, the Nihon region was finally revealed to the world by explorers from all lands.

At first these explorers and their people were amazed by the region's greeneries and its rich history.
Eventually, this "amazement" turned into envy, and jealousy leading to the event branded as "The Invasion."

Many leaders have tried to claim the Nihon region for their own, but the people's resistance was unmatchable, and was to be feared.

During "The Invasion", warriors from all of Nihon joined forces to repel the foreigners out of their soil.
Since then they have trained their people ages sixteen and above both the Art of Pokemon Raising, and the Art of War to secure their lands, and preserve their sovereignty.

Tomorrow you will be turning 16, but because of the current state of your region, no grand birthday celebration, nor luxurious presents are to be expected. Instead, you will be heading out to train and from then on, strive to become a hero of your land.


*Note:
Nihon Region - The combined areas of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, etc.

*Possible Features:
- Choose from a variety of clans to join:
Each clan will provide you a different "Pokemon Partner", and "Equipment."
- Battle alongside your pokemon.
- Command Events:
These are events in which you can command or order other in-game characters depending on the situation.

*Setting:
- Futuristic Pokemon World

~Leach//

 

[leachim_paloyz15]

I hope this won't be considered as double-posting, but this one's just pretty long..

UPDATE:

~Updated the default Fire Red starter sprites.

~Inserted Black/White starters + ZORUA & ZOROARK.

THREAD BUMP: 7:47PM 02/16/12 THURS

MINI-UPDATE:

~So I spiced up the stage a bit, now some amplifiers, speakers, and the girls' weapons instruments are left and we're good to go. xD

(Yeah, I know the map is pretty empty right now, but I'll add some details when I can.)

 

[leachim_paloyz15]

THREAD BUMP:

MINI-UPDATE:

~ Lightened the palette of the SCANDAL logo. (+ some minor changes.)

~ Is this TOMOMI practicing with her BASS GUITAR? Or is this just a crappy sprite?. xD xD

~ Now MAMI is too?!.. (@HOTEL HAVEN's HAVEN BAR.)

Currently working on their instruments, and some other things for the venue.
I'm going to start scripting the main event once I finish the sprites/tiles.

Lastly, does anyone know what is the maximum number of person events in a map?
Some are just mysteriously disappearing. xD xD

If anyone can help, that would be great. ^^

That is all.

~Leach. ^^

(This thread in PC amazes me the most. Not only that I'm the only one posting.. but, I'm also looking stupid. Just awesome. xD xD
Well.. It's my fault for creating such an idiotic hack.)

MINI-UPDATE:

~ Where's RINA?!

~ Oh! There she is!

*le me chilling with the girls.

Now that the instruments are done(except for the whole drumset of RINA). What are you comments about it?.. Are they okay? Good? Acceptable? Trash?.. Haha! ^^ Please, I need your feedback.

EDIT:

~ First attempt for RINA's epic-as-hell-to-make drumset.

Well, that is all.

Response to Team Assistance Request PM

…
…You called?

I'd like to take that spot for a cause of a large portion of mapping and scripting, IMO one can not function without the other, so… yeah ^_^'.

Currently the only demonstration video I've made is quite shotty and was made under a loss of sleep, so even though I'm attempting to pull a 36-hour day again tonight, I promise I'll do better for my next two minute clip, K? :)

EDIT
I've finally completed my second hacking demo as alleged proof of my skills. It's six minutes long, so don't be surprised if I missed a few small things ^^;. (Finally, a 16:9 frame! ;D)

Here's a formally filled-out form for your records.

Spoiler:

Team Registration Form

• Skills: Specialty mapper, moderately experienced scripter (I'm used to PKSV-UI), and tile inserting when able to and nobody else wants to do it.
• Alleged proof of skills: Sloppy original video || Current, new better-made video
• Past experiences: Many different one-person projects, most of which had mounds of inspiration but then died out for some reason (don't ask me how ^^") || I'm also teaching myself Visual Basic .NET for creating hacking tools that don't exist yet, but I'm not too far yet :P
• Contact Info: E-mail » [email protected] | You may PM or VM me if you'd like, though for in-depth matters about the project I prefer you PM me to save space (Don't worry, I have 1,000 PM slots ;]).
• Time Zone: UTC -5, although I usually post in UTC for standardization purposes
• Country: The United States (My IP address says India though)

More from me

I am an advanced programmer of HTML and CSS, and I'm learning JavaScript and PHP, as well as non-web scripts such as VB.NET. I also am quite familiar with the Windows command line, such as I am with batch scripts. These may possibly prove of value to you… as I wish to help with the posting of thread updates and maybe IPS snapshots sometime. Will you consider this further amendment to my team membership?

Since I scouted for you in the first place; No doubt; ACCEPTED.

I haven't read your form yet, (mainly because I got lazy 'cause I'm only using my cellphone as of now since I'm away from home, and is just checking some things which is pretty hard to do due to the phone's limitations ><). I'll edit this post once I get back, and give you a post that has more sense...

That would be all for now.

THREAD BUMP:

Hi guys!

First of all.. MINI-UPDATE:
Today I bring you 5 new screenshots which signifies that the I successfully finished fixing the bug, and everything is going smoothly. (except my Math grades.. xD xD)

Rina's drumset - 100% Done

Just an afternoon screenshot.

Pokemon Nicknaming has been enabled in the game.

New MenuBox. (Comes with Red, Blue, and Green colors.)

CANTA's moveset has been altered a bit. (THUNDERSHOCK has been replaced with SHADOW BALL.)
Also shows the new BattleBox Menu. (Color: Blue)

That would be all for the update.

and oh, AlexTheRose.. If you're not busy, you can start making an CSS outline for the main post. I think of transferring to the Progressing Hacks, since I think that no one will ever join the team. It's fine though, I have enough members to finish this one.

I made the CSS for the opening post and I'll PM it to you. Also, remember to not override the font effects saved in the CSS, i.e. no [ font ], [ size ] or [ color ] tags that span the entire post ;P

THREAD BUMP:

Heroine placeholder sprite(Cynthia; Credit goes to WesleyFG.).. (MINI-UPDATE?.. xD)

NPC; Ace Trainer OW Sprite(Still, credit goes to WesleyFG.)

~Most of the OW sprites that I'm using are made by Wes, and can be found in his Website.

And, a titlescreen-like image.. I don't know if I can insert this.. I just came up with it hours ago. xD

That would be all.

Sh**Bricks.. Yeah, it's been a long time. xD
Of course anyone can. ^^

Woah?! This is awesome! Thanks for this. Though I really appreciate it, but I really don't need it right now. I'm going to update the screenshots later, so all of the pictures there will be considered as obsolete / outdated.

If it's okay to you, I would like you to do another one with the updated screenshots in it. (Of course I need to update first the main post for you to do that.)

So yeah, thanks for this! I'm going to use this for a while, until I update the main post.

Kudos to you!
