Look under the FAQs & Guides, there should be Game Genie or Gameshark Codes there.

Well when going into Cheat Lists... then click either Game-Genie or Gameshark.

Copy and paste a code and put it into the bottom box. For example 01??F0D5, seeing as it has ?? you need to insert a value. So I'll put 0101F0D5 which should give me a Pokeball in the first Pokeball slot.

It isn't too difficult to do.

[barca]

You can always use check item codes but for certain functions I would not know where that data is located, like enabling some items might be flagged.
What is "check item codes"?? lol

Hello!

I put this Vaporeon pic instead of the normal one:http: //i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh97/Zzzzz91/Pokepic-ok.jpg

But with this pic,the Vaporeon's backpic give me this:http: //i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh97/Zzzzz91/Pokepicerror2.jpg

So can someone make me a Vaporeon backpic for UnLZ-GBA (http: //i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh97/Zzzzz91/935arrire.png)
that give me the normal Vaporeon backpic?

Thank you.

Please answer,I need to know how to change FR/LG pokemon pictures

....
There is NO surf overworld. It's just the player's sprite while surfing. zel and Sergio just edited that sprite. ( They didn't edit some seperate OW >.>)

Well, how can I edit it then? I searched in the SG and Naranja files (OWE) but I still couldn't find HOW they do it. In SG it's just the Hero in a sitting pose, but no lapras or something.
Does somebody know how to edit them? (FireRed) (Surf overworld)

What is "check item codes"?? lol

Check Item codes, basically check which items you have with you. You would have to script them in.

Maybe just edit everything with one map editor...

Please answer,I need to know how to change FR/LG pokemon pictures

Export a Vapereon, not edited sprite and then copy the colours onto your new one. Make sure you have a maximum of 16 colours, more then that will cause errors.

In pokecryGUI what are the IDs and adress offsets for exploud,whismar,loudred,dunsepace,pichu,cleffa and igglybuff ?

Whismar = 7201
Loudred = 7301
Exploud = 7401
Dunsparce = CE00
Pichu = AC00
Cleffa = AD00
Igglybuff = AE00

I wouldn't know hex offsets, or where they are located...

[manutdrule]

does anyone know where to get the latest version of pokeroms.ini/elitemap package? Im trying to add a backpic sprite into fire red thru rsball but the offsets for those were not given in that ini...

[Diggeh]

Whee, I got back on my hacking feet.

Recreating maps and such as of last week.

One problem, though. My RS ball gives me an error when I try to access the trainer/Pokemon back sprites.

"Pokemon/Trainer backpics location is not specified in INI."

Do I need a new RS Ball, or am I in trouble again?

The joys of hacking, huh. ;_;

[Blazichu]

How do I change the names of the Pokemon?

Either using N-E-A or Hex.

You can always use unLZ-GBA as an alternative, just keep on clicking next until you get to the Pokemon.

How do I change the names of the Pokemon?

there's a certain tool for that matter, and it's called NEA, or Name Editor Advance... If you want it, then send me a PM...

Is there a program to export/import/edit the colors of pokémon WITHOUT change the palette that was given to this Pokémon?

Or can directly someone make me a good pic that doesn't give errors?

You can export sprites using most Pokemon sprite editing tool, all you have to do is copy the colour of the non-edited sprite onto the new sprite. Instead of adding colours that do not exist in the palettes, the other option would be to palette change the original Vaporeon's colours.

mmkay
so i edited wild grass
and whenever i walk through it, it reverts back to the original grass and then back to the edited grass
how can i fix this?

You would have to edit the grass animation, try using TLP or Tile Molester. If you specified which game I could be more helpful.

Obviously, all the scripts follow the same commands.

[Blazichu]

why when i load up my ruby rom in unlz-gba why does it show glithy graphics?

Well it could be an issue with your ROM file, maybe get a new one. To index sprites either paste over an original/unedited sprite or use a paint-like program that can index image colours.

2.how to insert tile to advancemap

[Epsilon]

Is it possible to use more than 15 palettes for the tilesets in firered. (advancemap)

[Dialseus Gavin]

Well it could be an issue with your ROM file, maybe get a new one. To index sprites either paste over an original/unedited sprite or use a paint-like program that can index image colours.

thanks but i have tried every rom, even DJG's (sorry i have to try to be sure)
also thanks for the 6 sec tutorial

[Blazichu]

i'm hacking leafgreen (english rom)

In TLP or Tile Molester go to the offset 398E08. They should be a bit further down from there.

The variable of special commands,display message.

2.how to insert tile to advancemap

Maybe ask in the Script Questions instead, about variables.

2. You can export the tileset from Advance-Map from the Block Editor(Ctrl+B), Then go File > Save Tileset 1 or 2. To import the tileset back in, go to File > Import Tileset 1 or 2.

Is it possible to use more than 15 palettes for the tilesets in firered. (advancemap)

Well the answer to that is yes, seeing as the maximum is 16 palettes not 15. More then that will not work.

[Boggle]

Hum, hi, a friend of mine is planning to do a Pokemon Blue hack, and we wanted to know if it's possible to add something like the breeding system from newer editions

[Went]

This is... kinda weird. When I try to write an í (i with accent), Advance Text turns it into a blank space once I click on save. The strange thing, all the other vowels don't have any problem (á, é, ó, ú). Does someone know how can I get it to work?

It's a good idea to learn to do them in hex, though.

Use save states. I don't have VBA installed currently, but I'm sure it's File -> Save, or something similar. Up to ten slots can be saved per ROM.

[4fetter0_0]

You replace them with APE or doing the Hex editing crap

Use your VBA to find the specific palettes, then search for the flipped values using VBA.

the solution to your problem is changing the save type. Go Options>Emulator>Save Type>FLASH 128k. And if you want to enable time-based events (growing berries etc.) go Options>Emulator and tick real time clock. You have to delete your previous .SAVs for it to work.

A script. Ask around at the script request thread.

[PeregrinFig]

How would I write a script for Pokedex data? Would it be just like a typical dialog script (without 'lock' 'faceplayer' etc commands)?

One more question, would anyone know the Pokemon scripting code for Luvdisc (as in Eevee's is 0x85) so that you press A at a Pkeball and get a Luvdisc? If you can help with either question, thanks.

i'm making a forest like a maze
the player will have to jump one of two ledges
one ledge will lead to a maze
and one will lead to a dead end (and the player can't get back up)
i want the dead end to have a house with an old lady who will tell the player he can't get back out by normal means and will use one of her own pokémon to fly him out of the forest back to the last visited pokémon center
i want to know if this script is possible to create (more simply put, if i can force the player to use fly even if he doesn't have a pokémon that knows fly himself)

1. No it's not possible, the Pokedex only holds that ammount of Pokemon catchable plus 25 extra slots, which I beleive don't show in the Pokedex. If you wanted to do such a thing, it would be much more advanced than common ASM skills.
3. Apparently scizz has gone walkabouts >.<. If you want Diamond/Peal midi files, a rombase can be found at PHO, and i beleive some websites would have them aswell.
4. I think you might be able to with ASM, otherwise, the world map you have is the one your going to have to stick to.

Yes, it could be possible. With the flying part maybe just use a warp code instead.

1. You can always replace those '??', unsure if they will appear in the Pokedex though.
4. It is possible, you probably just need to locate the data in hex then expand or repoint it to a new location if expanding isn't possible.

PET comes with EliteMap, just search google for it. Hex is probably the better way to do it though seeing as it doesn't get as many errors.

[megiddo]

There's a tutorial on how to index sprites in the documents and tutorials section. People are working on figuring out how to hack them.

[iPredator]

i know how to index them and put them in my rom, but that picture is 80x80

and gba takes 64x64

so can you resze it for me

[Antioch]

Well, i know how to use this thing well but i have one problem. When i rezise the map (route 29, the only route to get out of newbark town) in goldmap, res tthe events (how they were just in a slightly different location) save and play the map outside the town looks crazy and i cant leave the town. Anyone can help here?

Is there a way to delete/change the storyline scripts? Like (in ruby) starting in the moving truck and then your mom taking you inside the house... or getting the red orb, etc.. I want to make my hack start in the bedroom but in another city..

I seem to always have this problem. I make a warps, and about the first 3-5 work, and then the next ones just fail. I step onto the warp and it doesn't warp.... I've double checked the warps.

You'd have to remove the level scripts in the game, or perhaps change the scripts to the characters that are involved in key events. I don't know how to remove level scripts yet, but if you want to remove the truck intro, you'd have to use Start Map Chooser Advance, which is a tool made by HackMew, viewable in the Toolbox subforum.

can't it be done in advance map by just reducing the number of scripts in a map? or in the header section by deleting the map scripts?

Is there any way to make the shiny gyarados battle in GS to only happen at the night?

[Hyunbin]

whenever i exit a battle and return to the overworld map, the player is stuck and i can move around this bug catcher that was on screen from before entering the battle
it also only happens with that particular bug catcher
other battles when the catcher isn't on screen are fine
what's wrong?

You would have to resize the map then repoint the data to a new location using hex.

Is there any way to make the shiny gyarados battle in GS to only happen at the night?

It can be done, you would have enable a flag that allows the Gyarados to appear at night only. Then you would have to script in the battle code to allow you to battle a shiny Gyarados.

Sounds like a bad glitch to me, you probably either have to fix up some scripts or restrat your game with a clean or backup ROM.

[Thrace]

Is it possible to use a flag instead of a variable for a level script? If not what variables are not used by the game already? This is for FR.

How do you add wild pokemon data to places that don't have wild pokemon data (cities,towns, lake of rage...) in Pokemon Gold?

[IIMarckus]

How do you add wild pokemon data to places that don't have wild pokemon data (cities,towns, lake of rage...) in Pokemon Gold?02AB35 starts a list of wild Pokemon and their locations, in the following format:
[2-byte map number]
[wild Pokemon ratio morn][wild Pokemon ratio day][wild Pokemon ratio nite]
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (morn)
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (day)
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (nite)

The list continues this way until you reach a FF for the first byte, which signifies the end of the list.

To add to a new area, you would want to
a) Overwrite an existing entry in the list
b) repoint the list and add new entries there

Blazichu what is the internal clock work? and i have expanded the ROM is it okay to have no image in pokepic but there is one inside the game?

The Internal Clock is the clock that you set at the beginning of Ruby, if it doesn't work then berries will not be able to grow. Also if you can't see them in Pokepic then if you want to replace anything you probably can't.

Does anybody know how to decompress the intro graphics for Gold so that I may edit them in TLP?

The starting where it says Gamefreak and Nintendo is decompressed already, the Game Freak intro sequence (the text and logo) can be found using 1BPP mode (close to the Intro text) and the titlescreen can be decompressed using a patch, which if I remember is in my Tutorial thread. Have a look in there if you need it.

Originally, I asked this in the wrong forum by mistake, but I hope someone here can help me - I'm having some issues with the Sappy program ^_^'

Basically, after I convert midis into .s files and import them into the game (in this case, Pokemon Ruby) via Sappy, they sound NOTHING like the original midi file. They play very choppily, with poor sound quality, and it's driving me crazy. I know how to do the entire process of changing the music, but nothing I can do seems to improve the actual quality of the music I try to make use of even though the original MIDIs sound just fine. Any advice would be REALLY appreciated! :)

Use Poke Edit Pro (from Darthatron) in the Toolbox Thread. It lets you edit Base stats, names, movepools, and even evolutions.

You'll probably need to edit the pallete or something. Does the front sprite look the same?

1. You just need to untick 'Auto abort if new data is bigger' when going 'Write to ROM'.
2. Did you convert the .sav to a .gba first by using No$GBAtoVBA?

[Dialseus Gavin]

Blazichu i have already converted it but it says desame

It should create a larger file, new one after converting it. Also make sure when converting don't use the same name as the save you had. Otherwise it won't work correctly.

You have to tick Export Palette when you insert the sprite in the ROM, and make sure the color used for the background is the one in the left of the palette you're using.

Ok. I did both of those and now the background has gone away...but the character is still messed up. Is it possible that it has something to do with the Sapphire Version? Once again I'll attach a pic of it. I have also attached the three pics that mess up.

The pic of May I still need to edit like you told me to. But it appearantly doesn't even work when I do those two things.

Okay, I've got a question regarding using HEX. How do I make new Flight Positions? I don't believe A-Map lets you do that, so I figure I need to do it in HEX. If somebody could link me to a tutorial on doing such things I'd be quite grateful.

Also, if I'm uploading a map, but using "prt scr" doesn't give me a screencap of the whole map, then how else can I upload the entire thing in one peice. Imageshack doesn't accept .map's, and I can't save it as a JPG, so what do I do.

Lastly, what are the points of level scripts? I wanna make sure I konw the extent to which I can script, so I'm going to need to know what they are, what they do, how they work, etc.

Thanks i advance to any who can contribute.

All the backpics should be around the offset E69FFC, you are probably better off using a tile editing tool.

1. With Flight Positions you should be able to locate them using the Map Bank and Map Number.

2. Just go Tools > Save Map Picture...

3. Level scripts are used like scripts but can't be seen in Map Editor as scripts, like the Oak event at the beginning of Fire Red/Leaf Green.

[Jack of Bl♠des]

1. With Flight Positions you should be able to locate them using the Map Bank and Map Number.

Thanks for help on the second in third questions. But what I meant by flight positions was "Is there a way to create new flight positions? There was something I wanted to do where I wanted to make a new map in the game (or even just a map that doesn't usually have a flight position, like a route) where part of it is only accessible by flying. But when I open Flight Positions under events, there's nothing there that will let me create a new one.

In other words, would I just have to edit over a preexisting map to do this.

EDIT: Nevermind, I realized all I needed to do was move the tile to another map. Thanks for the help.

Changing the animation using a tile editing tool should allow the aniamtion to work correctly, you just need to place the tile and add in movement permissions using A-Map.

Hey everyone,

As my first post, i am going to post some questions that i have been dealing with while making my hack.

1. When i do scripting, i save my script as .rbc, then i right click and compile it, but when the pokescript comes up it says "file not found or user cancel"

then it gives me this in the LOG

Invalid Command : checkflag
Invalid Command : if
Invalid Command : message
Invalid Command : boxset
Invalid Command : compare
Invalid Command : if
Invalid Command : message
Invalid Command : boxset
Invalid Command : release
Invalid Command : end

How do i go about fixing this?

2. Is it possible to have people follow you, like in the old pokemon yellow games? How pikachu follows you? Is it possible to have others follow you like that?

3. Is it possible to put in a cut scene, like in the ruby game how it gives a cut scene with groudon?

4. Lastly, is it possible to add different weather? Like can you make the wind blow, so like leaves and trash fly by?

1.- looks like pokescript doesn't recognize any command. I don't have pokescript but you may have missing a file. If you were using a rubikon program (scripted, diamond cutter, rubikon), it would be rubikon.dat, in pokescript, I dunno

2.- No

3.- What cutscene? Do you mean the one in emerald in sootopolis when rayquaza comes? Then no, unless you ASM and don't even ask about that.

4.- Not unless you ASM... BUT you can edit the graphics of the current weathers to look different (take note the battle effects will still be there). For example, you could do the leaves thing with the sandstorm weather.

1.- looks like pokescript doesn't recognize any command. I don't have pokescript but you may have missing a file. If you were using a rubikon program (scripted, diamond cutter, rubikon), it would be rubikon.dat, in pokescript, I dunno

2.- No

3.- What cutscene? Do you mean the one in emerald in sootopolis when rayquaza comes? Then no, unless you ASM and don't even ask about that.

4.- Not unless you ASM... BUT you can edit the graphics of the current weathers to look different (take note the battle effects will still be there). For example, you could do the leaves thing with the sandstorm weather.

Well, i havent been able to find rubikon.dat. Ive found a few things that say i should check in the rom folder, but there is nothing there. I saw Celebi post a thing such as this, but it wasnt answered.

Anyway, i am now using Advancemap 1.9 and when i click the button "look at script" for any of the scripts, like the ones that gamefreak did or anything, it says "Invalid" for the offest number.

I can copy a test script from a tutorial, name it something simple like "basic" without the "'s, and it still wont work. Ill keep on looking for Rubikon.dat though.

Back to question 2, will there ever be a way to make people follow you? I saw back in an old pokemon yellow thread that the guy was trying to make it happen, but he never succeeded. I think this would be very cool, and you could make a game that is very closely related to the tv series if you could.

Question 3, i wont ask anything about it. But i will look into ASM, thanks for the tip.

And question 4, i will do the same and look for ASM, so i can have many different weather patterns.

Thanks for the reply, Teh Baro.

im trying to add a poke center in ruby but im a little new to hacking and i got down basics like changing the maps tiles and adding certain pokemon but dont know a whole lot about scripting and adding new houses and centers. can anyone help me. (advance map is being used)

Im new aswell, but i can help with your pokecenter problem.

First, once you load your rom into AM, then go to the Map view and draw your pokecenter by using the pictures on the right. Then, go to events view and click the ticker for Warps up by 1. Then re-point it and a new warp will appear at the top left. Then, drag the warp to the door of your poke center. Next, go to a different map and click on the warp on a different poke center. Then press "follow warp" and you will be pointed twards the inside of a center. Next, copy down the numbers at the top (In petalburg, once you follow the warp it goes to 8.4). Now, enter in those numbers in the warp Map Bank and Map. Then, just to be sure, press follow warp to see if you did it right.

Hope that helps.

Ive decided not to use Pokescript, but to resort to ScriptED instead. But now, after i place in my code, and i press compile, i save over my game, and then up pops up a message box saying :

Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range

I did some searching, and i havent seen this problem being dealt with in scripted. I did however see that people who get the message have to just download a file.

Do i have to download something else? Or am i just doing something wrong?

P.S. : this is my script:

I didn't delete your post, I moved it to the scripting questions thread in the Scrapbox. Secondly, you are still asking about scripting programs, so they are about scripting in a way.

EDIT: If I see any scripting related questiosn here I will move them to the Script Help Thread in the Scrapbox. Remember scripting would classify as scripting with an editor or using hex editors.

I had some free time so I decided to answer the questions posted in the past few days which weren't answered or which didn't get a proper response (IHMO, of course). Hope it helps.


This is... kinda weird. When I try to write an í (i with accent), Advance Text turns it into a blank space once I click on save. The strange thing, all the other vowels don't have any problem (á, é, ó, ú). Does someone know how can I get it to work?

Well, it looks like A-Text doesn't "support" the i with acute accent. But don't worry you can still use it. Just type "[&H6F]" (without quotes). If you want to use the "Í" character instead, type "[&H5A]" (always without quotes).


how can I replace pallettes?

The fastest and easiest way is APE. It's available in my Tools Factory.


hi just a quick question sorry if it has been answered but im too lazy to look ,how to find the pallete offsets of OVERWORLDS ?
Just use APE. There's an official tutorial in the Documents and Tutorials section. The link is available on my sign under "My Knowledge".
Remember that overworlds palettes are displayed on the Sprite part of the Palette Viewer on VBA.


How can I insert this safely? http://s255.photobucket.com/albums/hh139/oddigem/?action=view&current=cred.png

When I insert it makes the whole title screen background yellow.

It's most likely you overwrote some extra data after the LZ77-compressed picture. Do not uncheck the "Abort if it is too big" checkbox. It's a bad behaviour, and it should be always avoided. Instead, repoint it to some free space.
To do so, search a good place to put the repointed picture to, then check the "Automatically fix pointer" option and change the Image Offset accordingly. A backup, as always is recommend.


1.what is professor oak (INTRO)unlz-gba number?
2.what is trainer backsprite number in unlz-gba

1. 342, 256 color mode, black and white. Adjust it with "+" and "-".
2. You won't find it on unLZ since it's not compressed. Use a tile editor like TLP instead.


Hello I need help again in firered after the title screen but before pof oak talks to you. How do I change that text.

Like any other text in the game. Simply search it with your preferred editor and edit it as you like.


Hello I need help I am using P.E.T to edit trainer's then put them into a script. When I press make script it asks for put offset for trainer battle. What do I put here. Then after that it asks to put 0, 1, 2, or 3 for what type of trainer battle what does this mean.

Plz help.

I would suggest you to not rely on PET ability to create scripts and to make your own by hand. Ask in the Script Help if needed.


mmkay, here's the scenario
i'm making a forest like a maze
the player will have to jump one of two ledges
one ledge will lead to a maze
and one will lead to a dead end (and the player can't get back up)
i want the dead end to have a house with an old lady who will tell the player he can't get back out by normal means and will use one of her own pokémon to fly him out of the forest back to the last visited pokémon center
i want to know if this script is possible to create (more simply put, if i can force the player to use fly even if he doesn't have a pokémon that knows fly himself)

The simplest solution is to use a warp command in your script. There are quite a lot warp commands available, with different effects. For example, there's one which resembles the Escape Rope animation.


Ontopic: I have a question is it okay to expand the Rom for further space in Pokepic?
Also how will I prevent the comppressed size blablabla Aborting In unLZ is it because of the sprite anyone?

Offtopic: I don't know where to post this so I post it here can anyone please give me Dartharon tools and A-Text w/ com3dlg.ocx?

Ontopic: Also how can I replace palletes as my APE does not replace palletes
if I click replace w/ my pallettes it does not replace at all,
How can I fix this?

You should never expand your ROM. The ROM itself shouldn't be bigger than 16,777,216 bytes. If you add any further data, it's most likely the ROM won't be able to recognize it since each pointer can't point to anything bigger than 0xFFFFFF.
Is a compressed sprite you want to write over the old one is bigger, the only working solution is a repoint. Unchecking the "Auto abort" option should be avoided.
Regarding the palette problem, can I point you to my tutorial? The link is available on my sign (-> My Knowlegde).


Is there a way to delete/change the storyline scripts? Like (in ruby) starting in the moving truck and then your mom taking you inside the house... or getting the red orb, etc.. I want to make my hack start in the bedroom but in another city..

You could use SMCA to change the location you start at. You won't be able to get rid of the shaking effect, though. That's ASM and at the moment there's no "shaking-fix".


whenever i exit a battle and return to the overworld map, the player is stuck and i can move around this bug catcher that was on screen from before entering the battle
it also only happens with that particular bug catcher
other battles when the catcher isn't on screen are fine
what's wrong?

Were you hacking Fire Red, perhaps? Because it happened to me once.
A simple solution I found is to add a new person and then switch the buggy one with the new created one. In your case the buggy one would be the bug catcher.
Then make sure the buggy trainer is off-screen. That should fix the problem.


Is it possible to use a flag instead of a variable for a level script? If not what variables are not used by the game already? This is for FR.

Actually Level Scripts do not use flags. They use variables. How to find good variables? Well, the easiest way is a guess and trial process. Most variable starts with the 40XX prefix, where XX can be any hex number between 0 and 255 (0x0 - 0xFF). Try some numbers until you find something working.
Also, remember that variable numbers must be unique. That means, you can't use two or more Level Scripts sharing the same variable number.


does anyone know WHY my comp wont let me rename my .bak files into .gba?

its starting to get me really annoyed!

if you know how, how can i rename the file type?

By default, file extensions for known file types are hidden in Windows XP. However, you can change this setting so that file extensions are shown for files in a certain folder or for all files on your hard disk. To show file extensions, first open any folder on your hard drive, such as "My Computer" or "My Documents." Then select "Folder Options..." from the Tools menu as shown below. When the Folder Options window opens, click the View tab. This will show the file and folder view settings. One of the options under Advanced settings is "Hide extensions for known file types." If this option is checked, uncheck the checkbox and click Apply or OK.


I have a problem with A-text: When i load my ruby rom,the only text files i have are all the ones up to the fight to help birch out.And this was posted at the scripted evolved into pokescript forum but no one awnsered it.When i try to open pokescript, i ge something saying ActiveX cannot create object.Help please!

That's perfectly normal. A-Text is preloaded with only a bunch of texts. The rest is up to you: you have to search the text you want to edit and add it to the INI.

Let's say I didn't want to use a pointer calculator to get a pointer in Gold, how would I figure out the gold pointer? There would have to be some method, wouldn't there?If the offset is >=4000, then we can get its pointer by ((offset MOD 4000) + 4000). Say our offset is 034BB1:

034BB1 Mod 4000 = 0BB1
0BB1 + 4000 = 4BB1

In the game it's generally little-endian: B14B

Three-byte pointers use the bank number as well. You get the byte number by rounding down to the nearest 4000 and dividing by 4000.

034BB1 -> 034000
034000 / 4000 = 0D

This, our three-byte pointer is 0DB14B. Generally we write it with a colon to differentiate it from an offset. 0D:B14B

If the offset is <4000, then the offset is the pointer, little-endian. If our offset is 3728, then the pointer is usually 2837. Offsets <4000 generally don't have three-byte pointers, because that would be redundant.

I'd like to give you the error, but I don't have 15 posts yet. ><OH MY GOD. Sorry for double-posting but this needs to be said. For all who have troubles with Vista, I have found the single BEST solution.

After that search google for "install-ocx.exe"
Download the one from graphicsconverter, it should be the 6th one down. Use that file, and everything should, no, will, run fine.

I think I've PMed every hacker here, so I'm going to just post my problem here.

I recently moved on to Ruby (Fire Red was being a jerk), and I don't have a clue on how to edit the title screen of Ruby.

Oh, sure, I've tried all of the few (and I mean few) guides on PC, but they all end up somewhat like this:

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/1082/rubyhu3.png

Not even editing the palette turns out right.

Yet, the creator of Pokemon B&W managed to make a perfectly clean title screen:

http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/9361/rubiing09rh0.png

So I just thought I'd ask how to pull this off, because editing Fire Red's title screen was so much easier and nobody's responding to my PMs.

Thank you so much,
Diggeh

[Infernal Contraption]

Hm... I see you're problem. Even though I'm not much of a person that creates title screen, I THINK I know. Well, it's a series of changing through Unlz, APE, and Cyclone. You have to make use of ALL 16 colors that are available. In your title screen (the one with errors), I can only count about 3-4 palettes, if I'm counting correctly. Unlz is a bit of a pain, but if you have good eyes, you can pull it off (and ALL spriters have good eyes! :D)

Depends on what you are edit and if you want different colours.

what are the ape offsets for the sign textbox and also what are the tilelayerpro offstes for the sign textbox for both for fire red

1. It is located at E94330.

2. You are probably better off editing them using A-Map or unLZ-GBA.

Maybe you have the incorrect palette.

ok, i have another question. How do i edit the tileset in Gold? Well, I know how to edit it it's just i cant seem to find anything in TLP but when i do find something it's either screwed up or is just people sprites!!

You would have to repoint the data to be less compressed then what it is.

01 - Im pretty sure. You would have to delete other pokemon, but you could give each of them a different pallete so they look different. Shiny palletes are on each pokemon regardless, so im sure if you change the pallete then it will change the shiny one aswell.

02 - If the pokemon are all seperate pokemon, you can then edit each one and give them all the moves you want. Try the A-tack tool.

03 - Same as above, so yes you can. Just download the Poke Edit Pro, and you can decide the stats for any pokemon.

How can I fix it without having to compromise the pallete of the hero?

EDIT: It's the exclamation box's colour

[thethethethe]

If the offset is >=4000, then we can get its pointer by ((offset MOD 4000) + 4000). Say our offset is 034BB1:

034BB1 Mod 4000 = 0BB1
0BB1 + 4000 = 4BB1

In the game it's generally little-endian: B14B

Three-byte pointers use the bank number as well. You get the byte number by rounding down to the nearest 4000 and dividing by 4000.

034BB1 -> 034000
034000 / 4000 = 0D

This, our three-byte pointer is 0DB14B. Generally we write it with a colon to differentiate it from an offset. 0D:B14B

If the offset is <4000, then the offset is the pointer, little-endian. If our offset is 372
