FireRed hack: POKEMON: Dark Rising 2 (Beta 2 Released)

[Yoshi3645]

Have you inserted the physical/special split? I havent seen its icon

Yeah, Physical/Special split is in the game. :) If you are unsure on whether any move is physical or special you can try going to Bulbapedia or Serebii.

Not a bug, but Fletchinder's sprite looks kinda bad to me (to be specific, its eye).

 

[Sark]

this hack has a ****load of bugs and nearly no game balance, gonna help by posting some of the prominent bugs

sprites are all dull, this should be fixed since it deters players away from the beginning

might want to fix the positioning

this guy doesn't have a script

palette for the arrows is ****ed up, and it's still bugged in all of the doors

I'm not even going to comment, this is just so blatantly broken, these pokémon are illegal at this level, "story" or not, this shouldn't be allowed

Placement of this guy is broken

Reflection is broken

There are so much tile errors that I can't count them all

the grass animation is not changed.

leftover event? it's stuck there, no point to waste space putting him here

you should indicate there's a door here, no one would know if they didn't walk past it

you can walk through it from the side

the palette for trees is really, really ****ed up, it hurts my eyes. Also, the palette for exclamation mark is completely broken

Why would you place this in the second area of the game? WHY

even with our own illegal dragon, scald/hyper beam/thrash/bite is a bit too strong

This is my bag after the second "route" of the game

I hope you realize it should NOT have any of these items, bar the potion

Why wouldn't you update Giga Drain?

Don't add the pokémon if you don't have backsprites

one of the many failures of double battles, clauncher has no HP but is in battle.

Why change the palette? That looks terribly bad.

recurring bug of double battles, if I only have one pokémon, it gets doubled
I guess dragonite learned double team

going into the bag while having one pokémon in double battle breaks it, the pokémon selection screen is also broken

I got defeated, the game hang here, infinite pokéball sounds. Just stopped playing at this point, since I figured I could easily solo the game with Dragonite (but again, maybe the last battle pulls out level 100 legendaries on me).


Why didn't you take the time to play it before releasing it? This really looks amateur-ish, while you presumably have a "full team of experts".


Hoping you'll improve some day.

Did you even read the first post? Of course its beta 1. The DR2 team is collecting all the bugs and are most of them are going to be fixed. As for the backsprites of the 6 gen pokemon, DRG has them, she just didn't insert them yet. So for beta 2 that is 1 thing you can expect to be fixed. And Instead of critizing the game, help her make it better. If you can't help report bugs. If you can't then here's an idea, SHUT UP! :)

W-What

Did you just tell me I'm not helping reporting bugs when I'm posting bugs to fix?
Are you just that dumb? It's beta 1, that doesn't excuse amateur mistakes that could easily be fixed, don't release the hack if you didn't playtest it. I doubt you submitted any bug report, so don't attack those that do. If she has the backsprites, why not just put them inside the hack? I'm criticizing the game to make it better, so that this thread won't be a huge hugbox anymore with people thinking a mediocre beta is as good as it seems. You're not helping Dark Rising 2 in any way, it's people like you that make it worse by making DRG think that the hack is great right now.

Just stop.

She released it early without fixing bugs because she said she might move it to a later date to fix bugs, but then got bad reactions and had to push out the first beta when she did

Are there 6th gen starters?

Are there 6th gen starters?

i found some bugs in the four gym :
after i defeat the gym leader i can fight with some of the trainers
after i talk with some of the trainers the game get stuck

like your game man !!!! :P

 

[CrimsonFlames]

Tried the hack after our Christmas Party, It's amazing, The graphics are beautiful especially the pink trees but you need to fix the exclamation mark stuff from the Team grunts..... Don't rush I know it's still soooo new.... but yeah Good luck on ur Hack! :3

 

[mrpizza]

@igorbobrik: Same here.
But overall, I'm enjoying this hack so far. I actually found the trainer battle music quite fun to hear.

 

[Yoshi3645]

If you're gonna do constructive criticism, don't be so rude and just outright bash the hack and DarkRisingGirl. Just state the problems that you have with it, no need for insults. And remember that this is just Beta 1. This is kind of a test run of sorts. DRG said that backsprites and cries for Gen 6 Pokemon are being added next beta and reported bugs are going to be fixed and stuff.

DRG did a lot with this game to make it great. I was pleasantly surprised with all of the changes/additions made to the Pokemon's movepools and with the animations for the Gen 4 and 5 moves. The level pacing is much better than Dark Rising's, but it still has the difficulty despite having a fully evolved starter at your disposal at the beginning of the game. The placement of Pokemon in the wild was well-thought out IMO, but catching the first Pokemon can be difficult as MExile demonstrated in her video playthough. I'm training for the 4th gym right now and I am very pleased with the hack overall despite it having some tile errors and bugs. I hope it gets Hack of the Year 2014!

For some reason it won't open. sniffle... I downloaded several different FR roms, so at least one was clean and fine, but I think it is the .ips file that didnt want to work. Just a big white screen and grinding noises. Any tips from the guys that got it to work?

There's actually nothing wrong with the IPS file. Are you sure you patched it correctly?
Are you sure the rom you patch with is really clean? Are you sure you know how to patch?

I know how to patch.
I use LunarIPS
I don't have a clue if I did it correctly. My computer made them into "open with LunarIPS" so now they don't have the white box;it's a little heart instead, but I don't know what that would do.

Do you have save type set to flash 128k?

Just to make sure. Redownload everything LunarIPS the IPS for DR2 and the FireRed rom. Then go to page 32 of this thread and read JcB0619 post on how to patch the file. (Notice: Do this for the best results.)

I looked in the options. How do I do that?

Nevermind

 

[Granddaddy Purp]

we wont have to restart our game to update in the next beta right ?

 

[Bladerbash]

Got a few bugs here.

Tile error.

Why doesn't the character turn around and acknowledge her? (Notice: This also happens several times in the game.)

Why is there big space in between them?
