[lukenetty]

Is there a way to change the legendary dogs in FR to something else? Like instead of suicune, latios will appear in the wild.

[spenceroone3]

Hex editing wildbattles. Search for suicune's hex somewhere, you should find it.

I moved the place of the scene at the beginning of R/S where the little blue dude won't let you pass to Route 101 if you don't have pokemon, but then when I recieved my starting Pokemon, I still couldn't go to route 101 because there was a script that said whatever the little blue guy said when he wouldn't let you pass.

[Death_Mande]

Does anybody have a list of all FR trainers? Any help will be apreciated

[MR. MR. MR. ATOM.]

Sooo... what's the problem?

Here is my problem.

I load my hack and when I choose my starter, the game freezes. Is this a common problem and does anyone know how to fix this?

And this is what i've done to my hack so far:

I changed some sprites with UNLZ. I also changed some poke's stats using pokemon amplifier. I changed some poke's types and edited poke's movepools and evos. (I think changing pokemons evos might have messed it up.) EX: changed Hitmonlees sprite to Munchlax, then changed it so Hitmonlee (Munchlax) evolves into Snorlax.

[Death_Mande]

Here is my problem.



And this is what i've done to my hack so far:

You can use A-Starter to switch the starters.

[Kazuma]

When i try to compile a script in pokescript it says
error runtime 6: overflow
ive seached a few topics and havent found any answers as to how to
fix it. I'm just guessing, is it an installation error? or something else?

Thanks in advance!

MickloIt really depends. Generally you would have to figure out the map format of the game, and then write a program that would load the ROM and output the full maps as a separate file.

[Blazichu]

You can either remove that one or create a new one.

No one answered my question so i'll repeat it (I deleted my other post so it wouldn't spam the thread).

just a quick question, how do u get rid of the truck movement thing (like the sounds and the slight shaking) in the beginning of pokemon ruby?

This may sound like a n00bish question, but is it possible to have two pokemon breed and have the egg hatch as a totally different one? as i am considering creating a hack called Pokemon Brock's Dream, in which the character is a breeder and only certain pokemon can be caught and these must be bred in certain combinations before others can be obtained and the player can progress. :\

[Hermaniac]

could you replace the different types of unknown with d/p pokes?
then only one would show up on the dex, but that could be easily explained with a simple script from the prof saying that the pokedex is not that advanced and they would be grouped as a single entry

Possible, but seeing as Unown is catergorised into one Pokemon which means they all learn Hidden Power. So if they all know Hidden Power, all your DP Pokemon will have a single attack which is exactly the same as the others.

[cooley]

@Hermaniac: Overwriting Unown with other pokemon is definitely not an option, due to Unown's unique sprite properties. Suffice it to say that that's impossible. Replacing another Pokemon or simply inserting him in would be the way to go.

@Blazichu: CBM has inserted new pokemon on a youtube video.

@Blazichu: What about Gold map Suite?

Anyways I have made this script for GS:
74 00 4C 47 66 66 53
And I know what it does, and I have inserted it at 0x182666, I have a pointer calculator, so I put 182666 and got 606666 I took the last four numbers: 6666 and Put it into the the script now what? I reversed it: 66 66 to 66 66 then made sure it was between 4000 and 7FFF using a Hex calculator.

I don't know how to assign it to an overworld, unless Zeromap had support for English gold Roms..xD I don't know if I did the process right The only person to help me, was "the Dude" he is the Nicest person in the world!

Please tell me how to assign pointers to Overwolrds.

I just learned gold scripting in one day! except without assigning it, it is nothing. Anyways, what is the offset for the Hiro's starting location? and x and y coordinates also?

1. Gold Map Suite is an edited version of 1.5.

2. You need to find the person or original pointer in hex, like what a person says. The events data in GoldMap should be the offset. So you search for their original script text and then find the pointers of the script text and then go to the start of their script and find the pointer for that then search down for it in hex.

3. 0x15139 is where Hiro begins and he starts his X position at 03 and Y position at 03.

Don't think so, unless you decide to take a deep look in ASM hacking or hex. In scripting there are give egg codes so they could come in use and also you can change what group a Pokemon breeds under.

@Blazichu: I have inserted a different script for gold:

74 00 01 47 4C xx xx 53 90(to prevent freezing)

I inserted it at 0x182666, calculated the pointer for 182666 and got 606666.
So I grabbed last 4 digits(6666) and wrote it down.

Next I searched for the text "neighbor" (Since I'm editing the mom script) and I found it at 0x181726. But that isn't the start, the start is at 0x181719 which is where the 00 is. I calculated the pointer of 0x181719 and got 601957. Like I did before, I grabbed the last 4 digits: 1957 and did a Up search for it, while still at the current location 0x181719. I found it at 0x181663. Changed it to 66 66 and now I changed my script to:

70 00 01 47 4C 66 66 53 90.

I wanted to know are my methods correct?

Well that will read from the offset 186666, so you need to put text under the 180000-18FFFF to read the text from there unless you use 4B instead of 4C which can load a three byte pointer, but to change that person's script to something new you need to go to that start of there old script calculate the pointers of it, then do a downward search of the pointer you got. Then type over the old script pointers the person has.

two bytes after the script end of the script at 0x18266E. The text is at 0x182670 and the pointer for that text is 607066.

You need to use the offset of the 00 before the text. Then the person should read the script, scripting can be difficult at times I guess xD

OH!!!!! No wonder.....Stupid Tuts.
And lemme guess, the time has to be seconds in hex? e.g. 1 sec = 01 or 10?

edit: oh btw! does anyone no the offset for prof birch in tile molester....
edit again: how do u index an image?

To index the image, you just paste the new image over the old image after exporting the old one, then you save and import the old one with the new image overwrite.

Hello. I hope I am in the correct area for this. Anyways, here goes...I started to make a hack for pokemon leafgreen. I made a cave in Pallet Town, and had it warp to a new map that i had created. I made the new area to get some better pokemon in the begining. I have tested the warps, but when i play the ROM in VBA, i go through the door, and the new area pops up for a second, but then the game like crashes and says "communication error. Check all connections then turn power on then off."

What does this mean, how do I fix it so the area works, and I apologize if i have posted this in the wrong area, as i am new to the forums.

Um... Hi. I'm trying to make a hack of pokemon Fire Red, but when I open RSBAlll is says that it's an unsupported rom [and won't let my dump the files]. This also ends all my intentions to use pets to change the trainers, gym leaders, ect. Also, could anyone help me with this "POKEROMS.INI" file stuff?

P.S. I'd like to stay away from hex editors and stuff like that, cause I don't really understand the stuff, seems way to complicated.

Well rsBall only supports Ruby/Sapphire, so you open up a R/S rom in rsBall then click export on the trainers and the pokemon to get there images. PET should run a FR/LG rom.

2. Thingy32 and Trans|hextion are simple to use hex editors, yet all of them are so try many out.

3. In a tile editing program like TLP and Tile Molester, you need to repoint some tiles to edit though.

Ok I need help about Advance Map.

Whenever you change something, you need bytes right? So I just saw my Pokemon Ruby ROM (Game I'm hacking) reaches 277 MB. I figured that this is because whenever I change something in Advance Map, bytes were added to the size.

How do you retain the original size of the game even when I use Advance Map? Thx.

Well, the answer is you can't unless you make it into a patch. I have also never seen a rom become 277MB, unless the rom doesn't work. Most R/S/E roms are around 16-32MBs.

FR Male Trainer = 0x35B968

Just use APE or go to that offset in hex and edit.

[cooley]

Ok, Since everyone needs offsets, I'll tell you how to obtain them.
2 ways. 1: is the export the palettes from VBA's palette viewer, then import it in ape, then click search. It will give you the offset.

2: is to get the row of palettes which has the palette you want to edit, and search in hex. The last offset you get will be the offset in APE.

Does a palette code search, by looking at them in VBA then do a byte reversal then search for the bytes (changing this palette will edit the other red palettes).

It appears that your palettes don't match the ones there, so you just probably need to fix that.

[You Homosexual Blood Elf]

By pasting the old palettes over the ones you have done, you have to use within the 16 palettes given.

[Punk Rocker]

Virtual Chatot

As Blazichu said the main problem could be the palette, use the eyedropper and replace the new tiles with the current palettes. If you want the palettes to look different then thats a whole different story..

Watch out when your doing this because the game could crash if you change too many.

Yes, it does work, you just need to palette change some of your tilesets to get them to work correctly.

1. RSE still has a different palette to the FR tileset, so just use the eyedropper and fill in the tiles with the colours.

2. Try shinking them down a bit, cutting parts off might help you get it to fit.

The numbers(tile behaviours) are shown when a tile is clicked onto in the Block Editor or just make them moveable or not under movement permissions.

Maybe you are missing a file that is needed. Have a search around and see what files are needed.

No, that's not what I meant, I probably wasn't specific enough.

In FR the tile behavior numbers in the block editor don't seem to do anything weather you edit them or not.

You might have you move the tiles up and down, I am uncertain how Tile Molester does it (try + and -) and edit the colour schemes if you have to. It could also be a problem with the version you are using, another tile editing program that could be helpful is TLP if it does not continue to work.

For the last Freakin time, Search for the <Bleep> offsets your self!
Go to VBA, play till you see the person, then you go to Palette viewer, and click save BG. Then you open APE and import the BG.pal file, you can click on "Index" left or Right, so That when you get the colors, you can click Load by searching.

It will give you the offset, for the palette. You click on load by offset and you should get the palette, then you can copy, and replace the colors.

Fire Red/Leaf Green

Try editing some of those palletes until you get the right ones. Then just copy and paste them in after exporting it via the block editor.

I've done that, but is there a way to change the hero's colors without changing any other overworld's colors?

I don't know if this is possible but you could try and insert new palettes then have the pointer leading to the colour chnaged into that new one.

Hi Blazichu thanks but ive got the pallets and howto insert them now but i cant get the pallet 0 to be the right colours can u help me and i dont want any offsets for ape because i dont use ape.

Well you have to use the eyedropper and colour in your tiles the same as the old ones, becuase you can't go beyond the 16 colours that are set in a palette. Also I don't think Palette 1 displays correctly...so hex would be another option for that.

1. The eyedropper is in many programs such as Paint and Photoshop. In Paint, it is above the pencil tool.

2. I can script in hex for all generations, but not using a scripting tool. If you want to learn in that style then there is a scripting thread under the Rom Hacking section.

2. In unLZ, I tried to import a picture, but it says the picture is too big. I understand this, but I can't understand why it is too big, because I merely edited the colours and some lines, and I didn't edit the size.

1. Possibly either with ASM or hex hacking.

2. There is a tool that comes with EliteMap called PokeCryGUI, maybe try that. Otherwise do a search for the Pokemon cry in hex and change it into another one.

3. You will have to ask the creators for those types of questions.

ok just one question...

How do you make (or edit) tiles... (e.g. i want a desert tile in fire red. how?)

In AdvanceMap, you load the block editor(Ctrl +B) and then go File>Save Tileset 1 or 2 to save your tileset that will be changed. Then edit or create new tiles using the colours within the palette limit(don't bring outside colours in). Then in the block editor in AdvanceMap, go Load Tileset 1 or 2. Then your tile should be there.

You can do a text search in A-Text and edit it from there, or the other option is hex.

You can, you would have to look over a trade script and see how it is done. I am uncertain what the script or the hex code is for this one...A good example would be at 0x157C7D in a R/S ROM or at 0x16E2C2 in an FR/LG ROM, just have a look at there coding or script structure and follow that to make a new one using pointers and blank space.

PS. The Trade code could be [26] in hex.

There is nothing in the rules about a tool request, just about tools being made for you. It is still a Simple Question in a logical matter.

It's been a while since I posted a question here. I was about to undertake a mass of renaming items and I thought,
Is there a tool that could help me with this? So that instead of spending 1-2 hours at a hex editor, I might just spend a half hour or so on some program.
I might have missed it on my search for something so I thought that I'd make a post asking about it.

u can rename an item in "A-Mart"..but i dont know about the discription of the item.. ;)

You can change the definition of the item by A-text.
Go to search and type in the description of the item and change it!

I asked a question previously and no one responded to it. If someone could just offer some advice, I would be grateful. I have another question about unlzgba and pokepic. I have tried to use these programs, but pokepic doesnt work for the ROM im loading i guess, and all of the images on the ROM, when viewed in unlzgba are highley pixelated, and im not sure why. Can someone help me?

Pokepic only works for ruby (and maybe sapphire)

It could be an error in your rom(in unLZ.GBA), so you might have to get a new one if you want it to work. Also have you tried the + and - buttons? See if that is the issue.

Poketext, it is very limited unless you add more offsets and also hex would be more easier to edit text in.

What i mean is making warps that don't exist until you make it.
Example.Warp no.86

It doesn't exist in the real game so how do i make it exist?
Connecting invented warps
I mean how do you make new warps that connect to each other?

On a map, on the names on the left hand side should contain 2 numbers next to it. The first number is the Map bank and the second number is the map. Just insert those numbers into the Map Bank and Map number onto the warp going to the map.

I accidently deleted the rival's signpost and the Pallet Town signpost in FR in A-Map..... how would I get these back?

Add two new signs in A-map
place them in their respective spots
Make simple text scripts for each, and insert them

If you don't know how to script at all, I'm not really sure how to help you
But, if this is a hack, do you really need to have the same signposts in from the original? o.0

[Blazichu]

I accidently deleted the rival's signpost and the Pallet Town signpost in FR in A-Map..... how would I get these back?

Erimgard told you how to do it. The script offset is $165859 for the Rival's house and the script offset is $165862 for the sign which displays the town name.

[Time]

you could try and look at them with a new and untouched (or shall we say 'unhacked') FireRed ROM. then, just copy everything (unknowns, offsets, var numbers, etc) from the original to your rom and it should work (that happeend to me like.., I forgot how many times now. :D). I hope we helped ya out! ;)

Hi All!

I was contemplating starting a new hack. I'm set on certain ideas of how the game goes, I just don't know where to start at all.

Right, would it be wise for me to go through the scripts, in ScriptED, for example, and take note of which flags are set in the early stages of the game? i.e. PokéDex, the truck, setting the clock, etc.

Any input into this would be much, much appreciated! Maybe some hackers could tell me where they started from?

Thanks in advance!

It would be helpful for yourself, also have a look at a few tutorials and see where they start. I remember Kike-Scott having one about flags...so that could be handy.

[stead573]

Thanks for that Blazichu!

Just read through it. Some quite useful flags there, a definite help towards starting.

Now, where to post new hack...only jokin'! :P

It'll be a while yet...

[MR. MR. MR. ATOM.]

Yes............................

[Blazichu]

Yes............................

Maybe you need a new rom seeing as those offsets are correct. You could also just try and insert new text into blank space and make the signs read that text.

You can either script in new text using a script editor or add in new text using hex then write in the new offset over the old one.

You possibly have to remove the truck script to stop it from shaking.

You would have to use check codes and text. It is possible you can either script it using a script editor or hex.

Do you think I could do this in Pokescript? And if I can't, what do you think I could use? (I'm sorry to ask to many questions..) It's just that I'm not too familiar with hex (or anything for that matter) and seriously, they confuse me.

Yes, Pokescript can do it. I never learnt script that way, so look over a few tutorials (like Christos' one). I could do it in hex but you might not get it.

There are possibly two ways, switch the gym leader order around and make the leader give you the badge you want or add a flag than enables surf.

How do I add fakemon to a game because I want to but have no idea how if anyone could help that would be great.

[Blazichu]

How do I add fakemon to a game because I want to but have no idea how if anyone could help that would be great.

You probably need to use unLZ.GBA to replace the Pokemon, first you export the Pokemon and then paste your one over it then import it back into the ROM. If the palettes are incorrect then palette change the orginal sprite first, there are many tutorials on how to palette change.

[Lubricus]

thanks man do you know if there is a tut on doing it.

You could add a givepokemon script during the opening text or during the fade part if FR/LG or the earthquake part in R/S/E.

Then how can I make a script not assigned to a person with Pokescript? I know I can edit the script of the opening text with a-text, but it doesn't work with give item scripts, give pokemon scripts..Actually you can't really edit anything, apart from normal messages with a-text. And I couldn't find any tutorials that helped me do this.
Thanks in advance.

It is probably around 87-92 in unLZ.GBA.

You would have to either use a script editor or hex, most tutorials do contain scripts on how to give Pokemon. A-Text can't edit the scripts of a person besides text.

I'm really sorry to press the situation, as I've asked enough questions already, and I'm sorry for not being clear enough. This is what I meant.
I meant that I didn't know how to add a script without having a sprite say the message. For example, in Pokescript I have absoloutely no idea how to edit the introduction (when Birch talks to you), and I checked a bunch of tutorials (Christos's, Spenceroone 3's, foullump's..) and none of them even hinted on how to edit an intro script. Well.

That isn't the type of script that shown in tutorials. That's just text editable. You can edit the text in a hex editor or in A-Text.

Hello everyone. Good day.

I have a question concerning about my hack.
I have excluded the Secret Bases in my hack, and so planned to use the Secret bases for extra rooms, however...

Everytime I enter the new house (the interior is a remapped interior area of a house from a Secret Base), it still asks if I want to make this a secret base...
So.., my question is.., how can I remove that..?

thanks...

I think it's probably found in the level script. I only know a little bit about level scripts, but probably not enough to figure out how to fix that problem. I'll still try and I'll let you know if I can fiond anything.

Okay.
You pick, Bulbasaur; Rival get's Charmander
You pick, Totodile; Rival get's Chikorita
You pick, Torchic; Rival get's Mudkip
What's the problem? You haven't said what the problem is.
You've just said, "with totodile and it's rival, and Torchic and it's rival." It doesn't make any sense. Think about what you're trying to say and then post again.

[cooley]

[Gamemaster1379]

I happen to have several questions, so I suppose I'll list them.

1. Where may I find Poke Script or a program similar to it? I've searched many times and have come up empty-handed. :(

2. What program would I need to edit a trainer's "in-battle" and overworld sprite? (please note I'm not referring to my or the "main" character.

3. What program would I need to edit my "main" character's overworld, "in-battle", and back-sprite? :P

4. [Once I get the script editing program], could somebody give me a tutorial on what I would need to do to make a script I would need to make a trainer battle me, then the exact same character battle me again, but as a Pokemon? [I can handle editing the Pokedex entry, etc. and that I'll need to place the sprite in two seperate areas, so please do not elaborate in this area].



Thanks in advance. :)

1. You can download them here at www.freewebs.com/birminstudios/pokescript.exe.
And for that you need Pkmnadv : www.freewebs.com/birminstudios/pkmadv.exe.

2. You can use unLZ to export then edit, then import any trainers sprite. Then you can use PET to edit which sprite you want for which battle. For Sapphire start searching at 1290+. You can edit the Overworlds with Hackmew's Overworldeditor RE.

3. Same as 2, but the main character is located at 1294-1295 (unLZ).

4. Spenceroone3 has a pretty thorough tutorial on Pokescript.

EDIT: The links don't work. Just type in the address of the site.

I'm not sure if I can ask this but I have a problem. I've been on my computer all day reading threads, visiting other sites, downloading numerous tools, and reading tutorial after tutorial but no matter what I do, I can't seem to get the "enable National Dex" thing for FR/LG to work. I am new at this too but I'd like to think I've learned alot today, but not enough.

I have only 2 requests

1) Can someone walk me through getting the National Dex enabled?
or
2) Can someone give me a Fire Red patch with no changes except for having National Dex always enabled?

Thank you for your time if either of my requests are fufilled and I apologize if I'm violating any rules (though I read them and this seems to be allowed)
