Gold scripting - Tutorials/Commands

[cooley]

Here is a tutorial on how to script, Skeetendo showed me how to do it, so now I'm sharing with everyone. If I missed anything, please Tell me.

******************
What You Will Need
******************

1. Hex Editor(Preferably Translhextion)
2. Gold Map 1.6
3. Tauwasser's Scripting Compendium (http://skeetendo.110mb.com/scriptingcodes_eng.htm)
4. Pokémon Gold or Silver Rom
5. Pointer Calculator (http://crystalfallows.110mb.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=tools/RSE/&file=APoint_1116.zip)
6. Windows Calculator(Start>All Programs>Accesories>Calculator)

***************

First you Pick which person to edit. We will edit the fat guy in New bark town, so go in Goldmap and double-click New bark town, and the "Map Properties" Will come up. Go to the events data offset and it should be: $120366. Now we open our Hex Editor and we go to this address. This takes us to the start of the actual event data for the map. Now we scroll down until we find a blank space after the data that is already in this bank. The blank space starts at 0x1225A0.

Now that we have found our blank space, we have some room to insert our script. For our script I will make the Fat guy display Simple Text. Our SCript should look like:

6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 90

You can Type "00" for the x's for now. Now, after you have typed the script, you can go to the byte after 90 Which should be 0x1225A8, and Write Text, BUT! before you go crazy writing text, make sure you start it with 00.
Example:

00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 - This text will say "Hello!" But it is wrong.

00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57 00 - This is correct, always end the text with 57 00, so the game knows the text has been ended, if you don't you will Get a message that says "1df-" or "2df-".

Ok, so far we have our script and text, now what? Now you fill in those 00's for the text pointer. To get the pointer use Scizz's A-point (http://crystalfallows.110mb.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=tools/RSE/&file=APoint_1116.zip) to calculate it. All you do is type the offset (0x1225A8) and hit Calculate pointer. (make sure the "Offset in Pointer" is checked). You should get 48A865 as the pointer. take the last four digits (A865) and put it in the script. It should now look like this:
6A 47 4C A8 65 53 49 90 00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57 00 (Underline is the text)

Before you save it, Calculate the pointer of where the script starts (0x1225A0) and write it down.

Click save. All right, the script is in the game. Now we need to assign it to someone.

The pointer you wrote down, You will now need it. Open up Calculator in accessories, and click on the "Hex" bullet. Type in the first byte of the 4 digit pointer( 1 byte = 2 digits) type in A0 , then click on the "Dec" Bullet and you get "160". Do the same for the second byte, type in 65 and get 101.

Now Reload your Rom in A-map....Just kidding. Reload it in Goldmap, goto Events Tab, then click on the fat guy. His info should pop up. Where it says Text Block Type in "160" And where it says Text bank, type in "101".

Hit Save and test it. If you did it wrong, then you either don't get any text at all, or get a "1Df-" message.

You have learned how to script in hex, For GOLD version! Spread the news, and get more people into hacking gold.

******************
Examples:
******************

Note: ALL numbers are in Hexadecimal!!!! 10 = 0A
Note2: For Giveitem, and givepokemon, the numbers are in hexadecimal also! Pikachu = 19 not 25
Note3: I am trying to make a tool for these commands, the tool will be able to compile scripts to the ROM too!
Note4: For giveitem and givepokemon refer to the Item and Pokemon list
---------------------------------------------------------
Tutorial:

REGULAR TALK

6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 90

Faceplayer, then open text box and writes the text from the pointer. Then close text box.

EMOTICON

6A 73 zz 74 00 zz xx 90

00 = Emoticon no. zz = Person no(add 1 to it. person is 2 add 1 and is 3) xx = Time in hex, 10 is 0A.

YES/NO

6A 47 4C xx xx 54 4E 09 xx xx 4C xx xx 53 49 90

Ok, the 54 means to keep a text box open, so that a Yes/no box(4E) comes up. 09 xx xx means that if it is yes, then go to the pointer xx xx, If no then the script continues, in this case, Text comes up and says "Fine Then" You don't need to put another 47 4C because the text box was already open so you just need to load new text from a new pointer. Btw, 08 xx xx = If no then goto (pointer), and 09 xx xx = If yes then goto (pointer). You Do NOT NEED BOTH!

MOVEMENTS

6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 69 xx xx 90

Ok, New codes here. 69 is the movement of the talked-to person, and 68 is movement for any person but you have to put people no.
the command 69 requires a 2 byte pointer to the movement data and the movements are below. After you've pointed to the movements, end the movements with a 47 command. Ok, so you talk to someone, then they tell you something, and then the move around, yay! You made a movement script!

DEALING WITH FLAGS

31 10 00 09 yy yy 47 4C xx xx 53 49 33 10 00 90

All this is is another way to make things NEVER repeat twice, and it has some advantages too. After a flag is set, you can activate other events by checking if an Event has been activated before. (ie. You can't leave if you don't have a pokemon, you can when you do. This is by Flags. Not really, but it is an example) Flags can also make people disappear and stay like that (ie. Found an Item) The way I'm using it is if the flag hasn't been used then display some text. If it has then goto different text (ie. yy yy)

Explanation:

31 = Check for flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

09 = Ram Check [2]
' 09 means "if yes" and 08 means "If no"

33 = Set a flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

90 = End script
'No parameters required

xx xx = Pointer to another script

10 00 = Flag ID you can use an flag you wish, but the numbers are reverse hex. 0010 = 1000 in-game. 1000 = 0010 in-game, etc.


GIVEPOKEMON

[2D][PKMN][PKMNlvl][PKMNitem][TRAINER]

Gives a Bulbasaur with no item on level 5.
[TRAINER] = 00 or 01
00 = HIRO, don't worry too much about 01 now.

GIVEITEM

1F [Item no] [amount] 45

Gives you 99 rare candies
45 Just adds the "HIRO Put the Item in the Pocket" dialog after the item is given.

WARPING

[3C][Map bank][Map no][X][Y]

Pretty Self Explanitory...

POKEPICS

55 [xx]

Displays a pokepic at predifined coordinates.
You can use 56 for "display pokepic with a Yes/no box"

xx = Pokemon no.

POKEMART

6A 47 93 [Dialog no] [Mart no 2byte] 53 49 90


Dialogues:

00 = "Welcome! How can I help you?“ dialogue
01 = bitter herb medicine dialogue
02 = rare items dialogue (exchanges mart inventory and every item can only be bought once)
03 = sell medicine dialogue
Marts:


00 = Cherrygrove City without PokéBalls
01 = Cherrygrove City with PokéBalls
02 = Violet City
03 = Azalea Town
04 =
05 = 2nd floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter1
06 = 2nd floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter2
07 = 3rd floor Goldenrod City Mart
08 = 4th floor Goldenrod City Mart
09 = 5th floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter1, if all ??? aren’t enabled
0A = 5th floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter1 when ???
0B = 5th floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter1 when ???
0C = 5th floor Goldenrod City Mart/ Counter1 when ???
0D =
0E =
0F =
10 = Mahagony town
11 = Blackthorne City
12 =
13 = Pewter City
14 = Cerulean City
15 = Lavender
16 = Vermillion City
17 = 2nd floor Prismania City Mart/ Counter1
18 = 2nd floor Prismania City Mart/ Counter2
19 = 3rd floor Prismania City Mart
1A = 4th floor Prismania City Mart
1B = 5th floor Prismania City Mart/ Counter1
1C = 5th floor Prismania City Mart/ Counter2
1D = Fuchsia City
1E =
1F = Mt. Moon-Shop
20 = Indigo Plateau
21 =
>=22 =



That is all the basic examples for now....Until I learn more! xD

Ah, Thank you for posting this cooley! Also if you would like to, Here (http://skeetendo.110mb.com/scriptingcodes_eng.htm) is an online form of the Scripting Document you could link to in your original post.

[FHJoker]

Here is a tutorial on how to script, Skeetendo showed me how to do it, so now I'm sharing with everyone. If I missed anything, please Tell me.

******************
What You Will Need
******************

1. Hex Editor(Preferably Translhextion)
2. Gold Map 1.6
3. Tauwasser's Scripting Compendium (http://skeetendo.110mb.com/scriptingcodes_eng.htm)
4. Pokémon Gold or Silver Rom
5. Pointer Calculator (http://crystalfallows.110mb.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=tools/RSE/&file=APoint_1116.zip)
6. Windows Calculator(Start>All Programs>Accesories>Calculator)

***************

First you Pick which person to edit. We will edit the fat guy in New bark town, so go in Goldmap and double-click New bark town, and the "Map Properties" Will come up. Go to the events data offset and it should be: $120366. Now we open our Hex Editor and we go to this address. This takes us to the start of the actual event data for the map. Now we scroll down until we find a blank space after the data that is already in this bank. The blank space starts at 0x1225A0.

Now that we have found our blank space, we have some room to insert our script. For our script I will make the Fat guy display Simple Text. Our SCript should look like:

6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 90

You can Type "00" for the x's for now. Now, after you have typed the script, you can go to the byte after 90 Which should be 0x1225A8, and Write Text, BUT! before you go crazy writing text, make sure you start it with 00.
Example:

00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 - This text will say "Hello!" But it is wrong.

00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57 00 - This is correct, always end the text with 57 00, so the game knows the text has been ended, if you don't you will Get a message that says "1df-" or "2df-".

Ok, so far we have our script and text, now what? Now you fill in those 00's for the text pointer. To get the pointer use Scizz's A-point (http://crystalfallows.110mb.com/AutoIndex/index.php?dir=tools/RSE/&file=APoint_1116.zip) to calculate it. All you do is type the offset (0x1225A8) and hit Calculate pointer. (make sure the "Offset in Pointer" is checked). You should get 48A865 as the pointer. take the last four digits (A865) and put it in the script. It should now look like this:
6A 47 4C A8 65 53 49 90 00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57 00 (Underline is the text)

Before you save it, Calculate the pointer of where the script starts (0x1225A0) and write it down.

Click save. All right, the script is in the game. Now we need to assign it to someone.

The pointer you wrote down, You will now need it. Open up Calculator in accessories, and click on the "Hex" bullet. Type in the first byte of the 4 digit pointer( 1 byte = 2 digits) type in A0 , then click on the "Dec" Bullet and you get "160". Do the same for the second byte, type in 65 and get 101.

Now Reload your Rom in A-map....Just kidding. Reload it in Goldmap, goto Events Tab, then click on the fat guy. His info should pop up. Where it says Text Block Type in "160" And where it says Text bank, type in "101".

Hit Save and test it. If you did it wrong, then you either don't get any text at all, or get a "1Df-" message.

You have learned how to script in hex, For GOLD version! Spread the news, and get more people into hacking gold.

Ok, the 54 means to keep a text box open, so that a Yes/no box(4E) comes up. 09 xx xx means that if it is yes, then go to the pointer xx xx, If no then the script continues, in this case, Text comes up and says "Fine Then" You don't need to put another 47 4C because the text box was already open so you just need to load new text from a new pointer. Btw, 08 xx xx = If no then goto (pointer), and 09 xx xx = If yes then goto (pointer). You Do NOT NEED BOTH!

That is all the basic examples for now....Until I learn more! xD
If you have any Questions, Fell Free to ask, even though most of them I probably Will not answer based on my experience...xD
Where can I get the table file for Translhextion?

Ok, you didn't have to quote the whole first post.

Gold Table File (http://www.pokehack.com/tutorials/Generation2.zip)

[Godot]

Ah, I see you have posted a tut for this on PC now. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

[Virtual Chatot]

Awesome, this will help out a lot of people :3

[cε׀׀]

I love this! Nice work cooley, it will definitely help alot of people including me.
But I need time to learn XD. Anyways, nice work!

*UPDATE

I updated the first post with more Examples of scripts to help you get scripting better. I'll do whatever I can to help you Get it.

[cooley]

Just what CBM was talking about, I have basically no replies. I bet you if this were a Tutorial on how to Edit FireRed completely I'd get a bunch of replies. Same goes for my other topic with the Megamap tool.

The tool makes hacking Gold Easier! People don't care of course, bet you they can't wait for advance map 1.9, What can I say, I hack both games of course so...

[thethethethe]

Hey, cooley, I was just looking through the scripting Compendium, because I was a little bored, and I saw this.
Checks if HIRO/account has got zzyyxx money. Gives feedback: 00 = Enough money
01 = Exact amount
02 = Less money
zzyyxx = amount of money (000000 - 0F423F)

Structure:

[24][00-HIRO/01-account][xxyyzz]
So I was wondering, how would we call upon the 01 or 00? Kind of like the compare command of the third gen. I was just wondering.

So I was wondering, how would we call upon the 01 or 00? Kind of like the compare command of the third gen. I was just wondering.I imagine you would use the 06-0B RAM checks. (http://skeetendo.110mb.com/scriptingcodes_eng.htm#Marke06bix0B)

[cooley]

Well, I was about to answer that, but thanks anyways!
Structure is 08 xx xx - Answer = no and 09 xx xx - Answer = Yes.

Just like GBA, you don't need both, if one is uesd, then you wn't need the other.

boxset 5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto $gggg

If the answer is No, the next line after "if 0x1 goto $gggg" Will be what happens if you say no.

6A 47 4C xx xx 54 4E 09 xx xx 4C xx xx 53 49 90 - If yes, then goto pointer, and if no a text box comes up saying No is chosen.

I haven't used the other RAM checks, but Oh Well. Markus, do you happen to know how to use the bitTable set correctly? correctly?

[IIMarckus]

Here's a link explaining the bit-table format. (http://datacrystal.org/wiki/Pokemon_Gold_Flags) All they are are flags; just set a bit and write scripts that do stuff if the bitflag is set or reset.

[cooley]

Here's a link explaining the bit-table format. (http://datacrystal.org/wiki/Pokemon_Gold_Flags) All they are are flags; just set a bit and write scripts that do stuff if the bitflag is set or reset.

Of all of those flags, which ones are for free use? are they the ones that aren't mentioned?
What's the difference between bitTable 1 set and bitTable 2 set?

Last question: Is the structure like:
6A 31 yy yy 06-0B xx xx ............... 33 yy yy 90 (......... = Script)
That's it?

[IIMarckus]

Of all of those flags, which ones are for free use? are they the ones that aren't mentioned?I doubt all the flags have been figured out. Probably you'd have to overwrite at least some of the existing ones for whatever you plan on doing.What's the difference between bitTable 1 set and bitTable 2 set?Table 2 is generally used for major flags such as Fly locations being found and the Time Capsule being open.Is the structure like:
6A 31 yy yy 06-0B xx xx ............... 33 yy yy 90 (......... = Script)
That's it?That looks about right. It depends on what you're trying to do, though.

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Now we scroll down until we find a blank space after the data that is already in this bank. The blank space starts at 0x1225A0.

Now that we have found our blank space, we have some room to insert our script. For our script I will make the Fat guy display Simple Text. Our SCript should look like:

I'm new to G/S/C hacking, just started actually.
I'm kind of experienced with FR/LG but I don't like it, I really prefer G/S/C.
So, I'm much more attracted to hacking those than the newer Advance games. I'd play Pokemon Prism over Shiny Gold any day. So any other tutorials you could write on the subject of scripting in a hex editor for Gold would be excellent. I have a question though. I might be retarded or something, then again I am a noob with hex editing, but I don't quite get what you mean by ''Now we scroll down until we find a blank space....The blank space starts at 0x1225A0....'', because I scroll down when I get to $120366, and I can't find 0x1225A0. By blank space you mean where the numbers are 00's right? Ugh, I don't know, but I'm not gonna give up on G/S/C editing so hopefully you get what I am saying. If not, tell me and I'll try to explain it differently.
Thanks.

[IIMarckus]

Yes, in Pokemon GSC blank space is generally any large block of 00s.

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Alright, thanks man.
So, does it really matter where I write? Because I'm still having difficulty finding 0x1225A0. Well, rather, a blank space at that point.

[IIMarckus]

In most cases it does matter where you write, because you'll want the data to be in the same bank, or block of 0x4000 bytes.

What version are you in? Data in Crystal is located differently from Gold and Silver.

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

I'm currently in Gold. I plan to stay there. Thanks for the help btw.

[IIMarckus]

Are you still having trouble finding the blank space?

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Well, I'd like to say no, but yeah, I am.
I find a lot of blank spaces, but none at 0x1225A0.
But perhaps I'm looking in the wrong spot.

[IIMarckus]

There's definitely blank space at 1225A0. Just to confirm you're using the right ROM, could you take a screenshot of your ROM information? You can get to it in VisualBoyAdvance by clicking File > Rom Information. You should get something like this:

http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/iimarckus/confirm.png

Next, which hex editor are you using? Are you sure you're navigating to the right location? Here are some example screenshots in Windhex, (http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/iimarckus/1255A0/windhex.png) Hexpose (http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/iimarckus/1255A0/hexpose.png), and Translhextion (http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/iimarckus/1255A0/translhextion.png).

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Ok, I downloaded a new rom, and the numbers are different.
Maybe I was trying to hex edit an already hacked ROM.
I just checked 1225A0 and it is blank. Sorry for the trouble.
But one more question.
On my new ROM, there are some blank spots long before 1225A0. Could I write script in those? Or not? And if not why does it have to be so far down at 1225A0?
Thanks.

[IIMarckus]

The other free space would be unsuitable because scripts have to be repointed to within their own data bank. A bank is 0x4000 bytes. This bank, for example, consists of all the data from 120000 to 123FFF. You could theoretically repoint the data to anywhere in this bank, but in the vast majority of cases it's best to use free space if it's available.

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Ah, I see.
So, I couldn't script at 00027BDC because it is not within the 0x4000 limit of $120366?

[IIMarckus]

That's exactly right.

[Scream.Aim.Fire]

Ah, I'm catching on finally.
Wrote a script at like 1 AM. Stuff's addicting.
Anyway, I got it to work mostly. Was just a simple message script.
Thank you for all your help, =D. You've been awesome.

[cooley]

What if I made a Huge script and it accidentally enters another Bank? will it continue to work?

[IIMarckus]

No, it will be cut off where the bank ends. At that point the game will probably crash, because it will start reading VRAM data as if it's the continuation of the script (which is something that should never happen).

[cooley]

Oh, ok. Thanks!

Btw, what's "NIH Syndrome"

[Innocence]

MOVEMENTS
6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 69 xx xx 90
Ok, New codes here. 69 is the movement of the talked-to person, and 68 is movement for any person but you have to put people no.
the command 69 requires a 2 byte pointer to the movement data and the movements are below. After you've pointed to the movements, end the movements with a 47 command. Ok, so you talk to someone, then they tell you something, and then the move around, yay! You made a movement script!
This doesn't explain how to change direction, and the compendium isn't very clear either. I try to turn to face a certain direction, but the character just turns and keeps moving down...

[IIMarckus]

Always in order: down, up, left, right; always 4 per action

Moving scripts:
00 = Turn head
04 = ½ step
08 = slow step
0C = step
...
ie 0C = walk down, 0D = walk up, 0E = walk left, 0F = walk right

[cooley]

*Updated First post with ALL movements

[IIMarckus]

The "text block"/"text bank" labeling in Goldmap has nothing to do with text. It's actually the two-byte pointer to the script, as you can see if you check out the scripts in hex. That labeling can be confusing... makes you wonder why the Goldmap developers called it that.

[cooley]

Yeah that is kinda weird.

Anyone know when a new gold map comes out?

[Black_Phantom]

This isn't for sure but I think work has been stopped on it, as the last version I have was copyrighted from 2000 to 2005.

[BigSteve]

i found this thread very helpful in starting up the scripts but i need to know how to set up a legendary pokemon event
i.e. an overworld sprite that when talked to says 'GYOOOOOO' and starts a battle with zapdos one time only

[IIMarckus]

i found this thread very helpful in starting up the scripts but i need to know how to set up a legendary pokemon event
i.e. an overworld sprite that when talked to says 'GYOOOOOO' and starts a battle with zapdos one time onlyFirst realize what you need to do:

- Open text box
- Print text
- Start battle
- Set a flag so it only happens once

Now look at Tauwasser's document and see what commands you'll need. If you're having trouble, find the in-game scripts for Pokemon such as Ho-oh or Sudowoodo and see how they're built, then change it so that it'll use Zapdos.

1) where do i find the offsets for Sudowoodo?

2) in gold map what is the 'Person Number' for the bird icon?

3) can you link me a flags tutorial?

p.s. the reason im posting here is because if someone else decides to have a go at learning script they can refer here :)

[cooley]

1. Using my tool, Megamap in the Toolbox. It will give you the Pointer though, just get the offset through A-point. I was so kind, I did it for you!

Sudowoodo Pointer: 4BAA61
Sudowoodo Offset: 12E1AA

2. You shouldn't change the people numbers through Gold map, you should try hex. And maybe a bit of Pksprite (overworld editor)

3. There is no flags tutorial, but I can teach you.

If you've ever hacked Firered/Leafgreen before, then you'll see that it is the same as Gold.

Firered:
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto $pointer -----If it has been set then goto another pointer
...... -----If it hasn't then continue with the script
......
setflag 0x200 ------Set the flag, so that next time it can be checked, and won't happen again.
end

Gold:
31 10 00 09 xx xx ....... 33 10 00 90

31 = Check for flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

09 = Ram Check [2]
' 09 means "if yes" and 08 means "If no"

33 = Set a flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

90 = End script
'No parameters required

xx xx = Pointer to another script

10 00 = Flag ID you can use an flag you wish, but the numbers are reverse hex. 0010 = 1000 in-game. 1000 = 0010 in-game, etc.

....... = Script

That should explain everything, now to add it to the tutorial!

[2] =
06-0B RAM checks:


06: When [RAM]=byte ...
07: When [RAM]<>byte ...
08: When [RAM]=0 ...
09: When [RAM]<>0 ...
0A: When [RAM]<byte ...
0B: When [RAM]>byte ...


Italicized = Command
Underlined = Command parameters

By the way everyone, I updated the First Post with More commands and an Item and Pokemon List.

Enjoy!

[BigSteve]

thanks, ive not hacked before so its all new to me and i dont have time to take in the flags stuff right now,

is there a reason Megamap's help thing comes up with Zeromap on the help screen and parts of it are written in german :S



i've added your msn btw :)

[IIMarckus]

is there a reason Megamap's help thing comes up with Zeromap on the help screen and parts of it are written in german :SIt does that because Megamap is an incomplete translation of a German tool called Zeromap. <_<

[BigSteve]

It does that because Megamap is an incomplete translation of a German tool called Zeromap. <_<


ah ok :)

can someone post a demo script that would make someone say 'Hello!' and give you a bulbasaur?

[cooley]

I have posted both message scripts and Givepokemon scripts, you figure it out now. Anyways, the message would need to point to a pointer in hex within the same bank. I can't do that for you, that's why you would need to do it on your own.

Here's the layout though:
6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 2D 01 05 00 00 87 90

the 87 is the sound code for the game to play a "got a Pokemon/Item" song after the pokemon is given.

the xx xx is the last 4 bytes of the pointer to the text.

You should insert this text: 00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57
then point to the "00"

btw, the Text just means "Hello!" in hex

[BigSteve]

thanks man, i just needed that because i failed and got opcode errors from it and just got angry with it after 5 attempts

ok...
after doing that i got these -.-
the giving bulbasaur worked though
is my ROM dirty?
could the titlescreen patch affect this in any way?

http://i32.tinypic.com/21l01ub.pnghttp://i30.tinypic.com/2uzql2g.pngIt looks like you didn't load the font into RAM. Make sure you load the font beforehand, and load moving sprite tiles afterward.

[BigSteve]

It looks like you didn't load the font into RAM. Make sure you load the font beforehand, and load moving sprite tiles afterward.

i take it you mean the 47 4C bytes?
i get a fatal error when i try adding that and i get the messed up palette (as seen in the quick questions thread) :S

[Skeetendo, Inc.]

Also by using the different pointer codes you can actually point to scripts in other banks, and by using 4B instead of 4C to call text, you can use a 3 byte pointer to call text in another bank (These get used in Secrets and Rumours for the nurse at the Trade Center, so I don't have to keep re-entering the same text over and over).

And here is a list of Pic Numbers (in hex). Know that if it is on an outside map, not a cave or indoor map and you use a sprite that is not in that spriteset it will load your picture or a glitch instead. here is the list(NOT found by myself, but by Coolboyman):

Maybe the issue is that you are not ending the code with a [49][90].

So it would go [47][4C][2-byte Pointers][49][90].

i forgot to post here but i found out (from either Cooley or IIMarckus) that the problem was where i loaded the moving sprites in the script. since then i have moved on and with help from IIMarckus set a flag so there has to be pokeballs at Cherrygrove mart for the fatman to give bulbasaur (meaning Elm has the Egg so the player is about to set out properly).
