Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

[BaalASystemLord]

I prefer using the INI section because of the way it's grouped together. It's easier than searching for the right place in the numbered sections. That's why I do need it to be in English.

Is there any reason why it isn't in the correct language? Are all the Advance Map version 1.90 like that or did I maybe just get a defective file?

Every A-Map is like that...

[BaalASystemLord]

Every A-Map is like that...

What language would that part of Advance Map be using?

Is there any way I can rename the files so they show the correct names?

How do I change the pokemon that's chasing prof. birch at the beggining of ruby/saphire?

[Reaper 6]

can someone tell me how to fix this problem: At the start my hack
when my pokemon faints before ive been to the first pokecentre the game crashes how do i fix this?

[Hermaniac]

I want to create a hack based around breeding, and the only way you can progress is to breed properly. i.e. to get to the next section you need to cut a tree, you must breed a poochyena and a magnamite to get "Steelpooch" which can learn cut.

So what I want to know is:
- Can you change what pokemon can breed together?
- Can you change what results of the breeding?
- Where can I learn how to do this?

[13roxas13]

ok so i just started hacking and i can do very simple stuff like maps and editing some pokemon but wat i want to do is; script editing, editing wat people say, change in battle sprites (trainer u battle and ur trainers back veiw) and i think thats it...oh and i also need the programs cus the ones i have dont work really well.....
ty for any help

Well it sounds like a glitch...

How do I change the pokemon that's chasing prof. birch at the beggining of ruby/saphire?

To change the OW you can use A-Map, but the script is a level script, so you need to change it using A-Map (recently), hex or ASM.

It appears that you have to start your hack from scratch again, sounds like a bad glitch.

1. You can change what breeding group a Pokemon is under.
2. No...
3. I believe there are a few tools that can edit the breeding data, but then again, there is always hex or ASM.

hey evey on can any one tell me where i can find the sprite of the blue thing u sit on when ur surfing in ruby

The Wailmer looking object is one sprite with the trainer, many OW sprite editors should have this sprite. You can also use a tile editing tool.

how to add a new region to Firered?

If you mean a completely new region from scratch then you would have use ASM to do so.

You would have to find the overworld palette using an emulator then find the palette in hex and change it in there.

You can add in more sprites using A-Map, bottom right hand corner. To edit there scripts, use a script editor or hex. Tools can be found in the toolbox.

[Quilava's Master]

Workin on a new hack with my team (so far Scyther X) so im wonderin does anyone kno wea i can get a mime jr front and back sprite.

[13roxas13]

well that kinda doesnt help....like i add sprites to the map and then how do i find them on the script editor cus the only scrip teditor i have is adavnce text?

[Infernal Contraption]

well that kinda doesnt help....like i add sprites to the map and then how do i find them on the script editor cus the only scrip teditor i have is adavnce text?Well, if you want to change the text of the script, Advance Text is your only choice. If the text is not in Advance Text, then click on the "Search" option, and type in what the text is.

If you want to actually change the script's base, then you should use a scripting tool to "rip" the script, change it, and then insert it back again.

can anybody get me a tutorial for doing this? i havent done anything like this before

edit
thanks for the answer Blazichu!
i just need to know how to do that now :P

@Blazichu i will add Sinnoh to firered but there is still kanyo is it possible?

How can i delete the glitch??
BTW thnx for answering

[BigSteve]

can anybody link me a tutorial for edting the start screen so it says what i want rather than pokemon gold?

also, can anybody tell me how to edit the credits at the end of the game so i can include anybody that helps with any hacks i make? :)

peace out,

[IIMarckus]

can anybody link me a tutorial for edting the start screen so it says what i want rather than pokemon gold?There's a patch that decompresses the title screen. I can't find it on my hard drive, but you can look around.also, can anybody tell me how to edit the credits at the end of the game so i can include anybody that helps with any hacks i make? :)Should be easily done with a hex editor and table file: just search for a name that's in the credits and there you go.

and ill get to the credit editing when i get to that point in a hack :)

still need to find which bits to edit in the hex editor to make Hiro sprite go blue...

[IIMarckus]

It seems I did have the patch. Here it is.still need to find which bits to edit in the hex editor to make Hiro sprite go blue... B8EE-B8F5 is the hex for the player's palette. Note that this changes the colors of the palette, not which palette is loaded -- thus any other character with the same palette would have their colors changed as well. There should be some way to change which palette is loaded; I'll see what I can find.

[BigSteve]

ok guys i need a few things now to help me progress with my crappy gold hack that im using to teach myself everything i need

1) how do i make it so when i change the colours only my main character goes blue (for example)? when i do it by hex editing the palette everything using the same red as the Hiro sprite becomes that colour e.g. mom, pokeballs (overworld), items,

2) how can i remove the animation from the title screen? i have removed the sparkles and the moving picture of hooh, but how do i stop it from making anything i put in its place move?

3) where can i get trainer battle customizer?

4) is there a patch to decompress more of the pokemon gold tileset (e.g. the bit where ho oh is) other than the bit that decompresses the title screen

[Piplup-Trainer]

Hi guys! I have a question about AdvanceMap.

Is it possible to replace maps in other folders (for example I want to replace the Litterroot Town Map into the Petalburg Map). If yes, then how can I do this?

[linkandzelda]

thanks in advance

[IIMarckus]

1) how do i make it so when i change the colours only my main character goes blue (for example)? when i do it by hex editing the palette everything using the same red as the Hiro sprite becomes that colour e.g. mom, pokeballs (overworld), items,I've been looking but haven't found a way to load variable palettes yet. It's definitely possible though, Koolboyman's Pokemon Prism does it.3) where can i get trainer battle customizer?I don't know of one offhand. It's not hard to do it in a hex editor, though. Just find the trainer's name, and immediately following it will be a control code from 00 to 03. The structure depends on the control code:

[00]
[Level] [Pokemon] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[01]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[02]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Item] (up to 6 times)
[FF]

[03]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Item] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times)
[FF]2) how can i remove the animation from the title screen? i have removed the sparkles and the moving picture of hooh, but how do i stop it from making anything i put in its place move?

4) is there a patch to decompress more of the pokemon gold tileset (e.g. the bit where ho oh is) other than the bit that decompresses the title screenIt's easiest to modify the title screen with assembly -- you can kill the sparkles by NOP'ing the pointers to the various parts of the title screen. If you don't know assembly then it might be more difficult.

I've PMed CBM in the hope of finding out
assembly is ASM right?
what app do you use for that (if any) and can you link tutorials for me? you wopuldnt believe the crap google gave me when i looked -.-

what app do you use for that (if any) and can you link tutorials for me? you wopuldnt believe the crap google gave me when i looked -.-Assembly is really simple to learn, especially if you already know pointers (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=3428318#post3428318). I do most of my ASM hacking with a list of opcodes and a hex editor. A fairly good tutorial on the subject is ASMSchool (http://duo.gbadev.org/asmschool.html), and RHDN has a list of opcodes (http://www.romhacking.net/docs/285/). You'll also want the pandocs (http://nocash.emubase.de/pandocs.htm) as a reference.

I can only answer question 3.
There is a program called "PokeTronic".
Wtih this, you can create new Wild Battle Scripts, change the Event-Pokemons and some other options.

I would make a copy of your rom hack before I insert WildBattle Scripts with PokeTronic.

1. In unLZ there are the badge sprites, I don't remember the numbers. Search thoroughly.
2. You can hex edit or you can create a script in the beginning which enables you to get a pokemon.
3. Script or use "Poketronic" as said above.

Can someone please give me a pic of Jirachi that can replace charizard @ da atrta of the game plz & thnk u i would like it to be in its original colors

[現実として巨大なもの]

in fire red is it possible to start he game with a cutscene rather then the original professor oak scene and have a character identified a different way with the same amount of script? Say rather then meeting oak at the beginning, you're just their as one "dummy" sprite and some1 comes up to you and asks for name and gender then you turn to your Id. If it is possible can some one plz tell me how to replace the annoying new game intro?! thnx in advance!

How?

[現実として巨大なもの]

the glitch your having isn't a glitch. It seems to me like your rom crashed as if the percentage is running and everything is white you have to check the memory vviewer and map veiwer. If its blank your game's a gonner (Note: this is only for vba)

[madman.92]

i have a rom base for fire red how do i attached it

[cε׀׀]

You have to patch the rombase (.ips) into a clear Firered rom.
A window will open and ask you in which file you would like to patch it to.

[Keyrin]

It's not very often that I ask a question 'cause I know most things with hacking, but I need to ask this question or I won't be able to continue in my hack... and you know, that's not a good thing. My question is that I want to either add a map from scratch or change a map's position to another map.

For example, if I wanted to take the second map of Route 8 and then move it to Pallet Town so it is attached to it (and it becomes one of the maps of Pallet Town), how do I do it?

Hi guys! I have a question about AdvanceMap.

Is it possible to replace maps in other folders (for example I want to replace the Litterroot Town Map into the Petalburg Map). If yes, then how can I do this?

The only way I think you can do that is by repointing the map data.

hello. does anybody know how to repoint anything manuelly in a hex editor?

thanks in advance

First you have to find the pointers and then calculate the new pointers that will replace the old ones.

No$GMB has an ASM editor, but I reckon it would be easier in a hex editor.

can someone tell me how to put pokemon D/P map tiles in to ruby

You can just export the tileset using Advance-Map then change it in an image editing program, then just import it back into the ROM using Advance-Map.

You can possibly change the introduction using ASM, would be difficult though. But you can change the sprites in the introduction.

When editing trainers with PET, the attacks are really weird, how do I know which attack is which?

The problem with PET is that it does not have a "No Attack" option before "Pound", so you have to choose the one below to get the right move, otherwise you an use hex to change the moves also.

What pallete should i edit the Emerald logo in? Or am i supposed to edit it in black and white?

Sorry, i haven't used unLZ in a while..

Black and White would be easier then the messed up colours, so you probably have to.

Im trying to start a hack and i have a few qestions

1)How do you change the whole beginning with prof.oak in fire red to make him catch and give you a pikachu?

Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me answer these.I'm guessing that you've never hacked before, because these are pretty newbish questions if you have.

1) You would have to change the script to it.

2) You would have to change the script to it.

3) It hasn't been figured out yet. It isn't possible. If it was, then ASM would be the only way to make it happened.

ok thanks,but what scripts would i have to use to make him catch a pikachu and go back into the lab and keep talkin.

[Ghost...]

In order to make Pikachu follow you, you'd have to make it part of the script for every square of every map. As for Oak cathing Pikahu, can't help you there.

[megiddo]

To show oak catching pikachu you have to edit the old man catching weedle scene.

[flah117]

[現実として巨大なもの]

while you're all on that topic is it necessary for you to have a script for every bit of the map to make pikachu follow you or can it be one simple script for the whole map starting a certain entrance and exit point? Also, is there a way to replace the professor entrance at the start of a new game with a cutscene or change the boy and girl choice so you HAVE to start off as a boy at the beginning like in yellow? can it be done on firered and if so what tools are needed? I just need the names.

I've actually got a question, I don't know who might be able to answer me. I've been looking at red and Blue roms, and I'm wondering, how do pointers work with Red/Blue/Yellow? Do they have pointers?

[IIMarckus]

I've actually got a question, I don't know who might be able to answer me. I've been looking at red and Blue roms, and I'm wondering, how do pointers work with Red/Blue/Yellow? Do they have pointers?Red and Blue use GB pointers, the same kind as GSC (and all other GB/GBC games).

Pointers work the way they do because of the Game Boy's RAM structure, which ranges from 0000 to FFFF:
0000-3FFF ROM bank 00 (same as offsets 0000-3FFF)
4000-7FFF A variable ROM bank (can be any bank except 00)
8000-9FFF VRAM (tiles)
A000-BFFF external RAM (save file)
C000-CFFF WRAM0 (general work RAM)
D000-DFFF WRAM1 (more general work RAM)
E000-FDFF unused
FE00-FE9F OAM RAM (sprites)
FEA0-FEFF unused
FF00-FF7F I/O
FF80-FFFE HRAM (high RAM, has special function)
FFFF Interrupt Enable Register

As you can see, pointers don't actually point to the ROM, but to the location in RAM where the ROM has been copied. For three-byte pointers, the game takes the bank number and uses that to determine which bank to copy into location 4000.

Because the TM is counted as an item and not an attack, you'll have to hex edit the text for the attack, or use A-Text to edit it and then find the program Pokemon Amplifier to edit the TM/HM Compatibility for pokemon.

[Voyager7456]

Hey, I'm new to this whole ROM hacking thing. I've been trying to figure out the tools myself, but there are a couple things I can't figure out. I tried searching around before asking but I couldn't find answers and this thread is, uh, rather large.

1) I find a lot of tools (A-tack, etc) don't seem to work with the FireRed ROM I have. Are some tools incompatible with it, or is it that my copy of FireRed is damaged?

2) Is there a way to increase the number of moves a pokemon can learn? Not at one time, but in total - say a pokemon learns 6 moves over the total course of its leveling up, can I increase that number? Perhaps by cannibalizing data from another pokemon if it's a memory issue?

That's all I've got for now... I'm sure I'll need more help later on... =/

Thanks. :)

That's all I've got for now... I'm sure I'll need more help later on... =/

Thanks. :)

1) Open up the place where A-Tack is. Open up the "ini" folder. There should be items in their called "AXVE" and "AXPE" and others. Check if there is one called "BPRE". If there isn't, here's the problem.
Create a file call "BPRE.ini" and open that .ini file you just created.
Paste this into and save.
[Nameoffset]
offset=2388129

[Dataoffset]
offset=2427908
That'll fix A-tack.

If that isn't the problem, I'd probably need some more info about the problem.

2) Yes, either do it in hex or you can use Darthatron's Program PEP. There aren't any tutorials on doing it through hex, but you can look find tutorials on how to edit movesets in red/blue/Gold/Silver/Crystal (which is pretty similiar to GBA moveset layout.) and then find something on repointing stuff in GBA games. With PEP, it supports the repointing of movesets, so all you'd really have to do is learn something about repointing data in a GBA Rom.

If you need more info, just ask another question.

I'm having some trouble. (I'm slowly going mad trying to find a way to edit and insert pokemon sprites in Fire Red!)

After much searching on google I was only able to find one download link for PokePic. It was version 1.0. Is this the latest version? Is it supposed to work with Fire Red and Leaf Green? Because it just won't load either of those ROMs, I don't even get an error message - just nothing! They're working ROMs too, they're not buggy or broken. Works perfectly fine with Ruby and Sapphire, but I don't want to hack those games.

What I want to do is edit the pokemon sprites and use my own ones for some of my own original pokemon inserted into the ROMs using Pokemon Editor Pro. I read up and apparently PokePic does this, but are there any alternatives? I haven't had any luck searching for them...

Oh, I tried getting Elitemap, but it had the same version of PokePic. I'd seen people say RS Ball might work but it turned out to be a trojan. >.< Also tried that unLZ thing but every sprite is really messed up looking.

[Time]

The best way for you to edit PKMN sprites is using Unlz-GBA...
There are tutorials in the Documents and Tutorials (including my tutorial)...

Also, the pkmn in Unlz-GBA are around 550-1200 (ruby) and 650-1400(firered)...

Oh, and try not to hack LeafGreen for it's not a very stable ROM to hack.

Some times the colours can get all messed up. you have to make sure it is exported with the right number of colours from your graphics application before inserting it into your rom, iv not done much GBA stuff, but I think a Pokemon can have 16 colours, in which one would be black and one would be white.

I'm trying to edit Leaf Green with a cave in Pallet Town and still haven't been able to figure out warping to new maps. I'm not sure what order to do any of this. I was able to make a warp lead into the cave entrance but I couldn't get the warp out of it back to Pallet Town to work. I just got stuck in the cave. I also couldn't name the inside without renaming Pallet Town.

I deleted that and tried again. This time I've only done the first step. This won't be my final hack. I'm just using this to learn how to get making new areas and warps to work.

I made Pallet Town bigger and made a cave over to the right.

I want to make a new map for the inside of the cave. The inside will be small, 10 x 8. It will lead to another area underground, but that will be made later. For now, I just want to be able to get the warps to work and not get stuck in the cave. I want to use Tileset 1: 0 and Tileset 2: 37 so it I can use some of the same tiles as Diglett's Cave (but not lead there).

Here is what the character should be able to do.

1. Go over to the cave in Pallet Town.
2. Walk up to the cave entrance and go inside.
3. That will use a warp to lead to the new map which should be named Pallet Cave.
4. The inside of Pallet Cave would (probably) be bank number 43 and map number 0.
5. While inside Pallet Cave, the character should then be able to go down and out through a warp that leads back outside and end up standing in Pallet Town just outside the entrance to the cave.

I am using AdvanceMap. I also have Advance Text, but I don't know if I need that for naming new areas without renaming current areas.

Can someone explain how to do this and the order it needs to be done? I need to know the details about how to do this and not just something like "click on OK on whatever pops up". I need to know what I should be seeing to make sure I'm doing this correctly and that the programs and ROM I'm using are not defective.

So far, what I've found on these boards seems to be more for people who already have some experience with editing ROMs. I'm looking for detailed help for those of us who are just starting out. I'm not asking anyone to make this hack for me, I'm looking for instructions that I can understand and use.

Another question ^_^;

So... I'm trying to edit some of my own pokemon into the game. Ok, not really serious for the final completed hack but just for practice so I know what I'm doing.I'm using Pokemon Editor Pro. because its the only tool I can find that will edit the attacks a pokemon has where the attack names are not in Spanish.

Ok, so I editec the attacks, saved, tested, worked fine. Then I made a second new pokemon, not next but just after the next place in the pokemon list from the previous pokemon I'd created. I gave it its new attacks, saved, tested, worked fine. But here's the thing - When I went to the first pokemon I'd made, many of its attacks had been overwritten for some reason, just with the attacks I gave my second pokemon. (and when I try to correct it the other pokemon's attacks are overwritten - so I can't edit one without the other getting messed up)

I thought maybe it was because the default offsets for the attack tables overlapped so I got a hex editor so I could find empty offsets and give the attack tables very different offsets - but the exact same problem persisted, so I know it isn't to do with that.

Does anyone know where I'm going wrong?

I helped Darthatron out with the moveset data in PEP. I know the problem. Its because of the way the attacks are set up. Around the "?" pokemon, the moveset data goes like this.
FF 2D 02 FF 2D 02 FF 2D 02 FF 2D 02.... etc.
This just means that the data for each "?" pokemon, there is only space for one attack. So when you change/add attacks for the "?" pokemon it just overwrites the other attacks.
To fix this, we have the possibliity within the program to repoint the data. This is something that other programs don't offer. Open up your hex editor. In notepad (or in your head) add up the number of attacks that you plan on adding.
Now, here's how to figure out how much space you need.
((No. of attacks) * 2) + 2
That's how many bytes you need to find. Now search through the rom in a hex editor, for however many bytes are needed. Once you've found a location, write it down.
Now go back to PEP, and click on the "repoint" option. Paste/type in the destination and click save. Now you can freely add those attacks you wanted.
Hopefully you can understand it. And I know it's a bit of work, but unless you want to do it all in hex, this is probably the easiest way.

Thanks for the in-depth reply. :) I'm a little confused though... I'm not really all that great with a hex editor and to be honest I don't even know what a byte looks like.

Will I need a fire red tbl file? I can't seem to find one anywhere I've spent ages on google looking for one. Oh... blast... it keeps giving me an error report window whenever I try to open the ROM in Hexecute. Um... can't really look to see just now, my computer does this sometimes, but I'm pretty sure I don't really know what a byte looks like on the hex editor. What would I be looking for?

Also I can't find anything that says 'repoint' in PEP for some reason...

Sorry about that. I know it sounds like I'm being a pest but I'm really confused.

Nah it's okay.
1) No need for a table.
2) You just need to search for the calculated amount of bytes (((No. of attacks) * 2) + 2) worth of "FF".
3) Try XVI32. It doesn't support tables and it's pretty basic. I find it pretty easy to use.
4) It's not actually called repoint. It's called "offset", and it's within the attack table section.

If there's any need for more clarification, go ahead and ask.

Hey Guys.
I'm a semi-new ROM hacker, and am hitting a few snags on my hacking of Pkmn Gold
I am using Windhex and Goldmap 1.6

How would i repoint the whole gym leader to run a custom script. There is no free space around the Gym leader text, so currently I am unable to add more characters than originally there. What I want to be able to do is to have him run a script like a normal person. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Also, why is it that when i edit maps in Goldmap, random tiles will appear that i did not put in. I think it has something to do with events, but im not sure, and would like to remove these "stray" tiles if possible.

Thanks,

1. Find the pointers of the old script, then in the bank there should be some space with [00] codes, add the new pointers replacing the old one to that blank space, then type in your script.

2. You can possibly remove those by repointing the tileset, but some might not be removes, such as the ones in your room (possibly needs to be removed in hex). You can always work around it by expanding the map or changing the starting location of the trainer.

I did do a search but as I said I couldn't find the answer anywhere, not on here and not on the internet either.

I take it there's a reference somewhere that will be able to tell me what the byte is for each pokemon and its cry (I'll have a look after college)? And I take it I then replace the byte for my fakemon's current cry with the one of the cry of... the pokemon... I want... to use...? O_o I'm a bit confused... but I'll give it a try... I just want to make sure I've got the instructions right before I go try it.

I'd assume so. All these ideas are just theoretical and may not work.
Adding types, shouldn't be too difficult. It should just be a simple repointing job. Getting the Type Strength/Weakness table and repointing it to empty space and adding some extra types at the end. I can do it in Red/Blue roms, I might try and do it in Fire Red. :\
Adding Pokemon, may be a little harder. I'd assume you'd have to repoint a lot of things, like the evolutions, the stats, the pokedex data and maybe some other things. Quite a lot more than adding types. I don't think anyone's done it yet, and I assume you meant with the question adding Pokemon and not just using the ?? pokemon. I don't know if I'll be trying this one. I don't think I could be bothered. :P

I have hex editor, the ROM, advance map and text… All I'm looking for is a program, presumably what you guys keep referring to as "script editor", where i can take my Fire_Red.gba file, open it, and look at the code directly.

I realize now that this is basic basic knowledge, so basic that I haven't found it answered anywhere. It's just assumed that we know it. But I don't…

So simply: what is the program called, where you take the .gba ROM, and see the script directly. Is there one? Or is Hex Workshop the only option.

I don't know exactly what you mean, but I think you should have a look at the toolbox

[rusticolus]

I guess what I mean is…

Is there a tool (and if there is, please tell me the simple steps to take to do this…), where all I do is say File -> Open… select my rom.gba… and bam, there's the code? Full of letters and words, as opposed to a sea of hexadecimal…

I downloaded PokeScript. It didn't recognize my fire red rom. I'm too technologically illiterate to know what to do next.

Once I'm looking at code, I'm good to go… I just don't know how to get from:
1) Having an assortment of roms and tools and programs…
to…
2) Actually looking at code (that isn't hex… because Hex Workshop is the only thing that's worked for me)

EDIT: and heh… quite fairly, everyone assumes no one is stupid enough to need this question answered, so it seems to be NEVER mentioned in the tutorials. Unfortunately, I am indeed that stupid when it comes to computers.

EDIT 2: I have looked at the toolbox. It'll work wonders for me as soon as I figure this preliminary crap out. =P

It's impossible (well, mostly) to apply a patch to an existing Nintendo cartridge, because they aren't rewritable.

Through searching I noticed people who asked were directed to pokecry, but now that I have it I have no clue how to use it, and again, there doesn't seem to be anything in the searches that help.

I would be very appreciative if anyone could tell me how its done.

Blazichu gave me a possible solution to carry this out but I was unable to figure out how to do it. Quote by Blazichu:

Maybe find the byte of the Pokemon in hex, do a search. The change the byte to the byte you want it to sound like. Could be difficult to find though but worth it.

So... as much as I appreciate the advice I had no clue how to do it and wasn't able to find the required tutorials or help to do so. Is anyone able to elaborate on it, or offer alternative advice?

Thanks.

I still need help with this.

I also have some little questions - of which are mentioned in tutorials, and everyone just assumes you know what they are/how to do them but there aren't actually any explanations as to what they are/how to do them:

- What are pointerswhat does it mean to re-point?
- How do I 'read' the numbers and letters in a hex editor? (I only know how to find empty bytes, and I'm not even all that sure what a byte is despite finding a few vague explanations)
- How do I know what the bytes do/how do I find the correct locations for pokemon/moves/cries in a hex editor, assuming I need to do this?
- Is there any tutorials... anywhere... that offer the basics of what one needs to know in order to hack ROMs? I feel I'm fumbling in the dark, all tutorials I ever find assume you already know the basics.

[Time]

Amoeba...
There isn't any safe tools to use for changing cries...
Also, I heard you need to hex edit your ROM to edit/add new cries...
Pokecry is the only tool for editing cries, however, if you change one, two POKeMON's cries will be corrupted...

And I can't help you with the hex part...
I'm still learning...

1) Pointers is the hex that tells the game where to look within the rom. It differs from game to game, but I assume you're using the advanced gen Pokemon games. In hex they usually appear like this.
ef cd ab 08.
Which if you were to write it out normally, it would appear 08abcdef. And you would be able to search in your hex editor using the 'goto' function to get to that pointer. (Except you have to cut off the "08" and just use the "abcdef".

2) A byte is just how everything is stored. I'm not too sure how to explain it, but the way I see it is, that the meaning of the byte depends on what is around it.

3) There aren't too many hex editing tutorials anymore. People have just made tools for everything and no-one seems to learn the way to do it in hex anymore. You'd have to figure out the layout of what you're looking for to know what it is. For example, the moveset data appears, [Attack] [level * 2] [attack] [level * 2]... etc. and it just keeps repeating until it hits an FF which marks the end of the moveset.
If you go the tutorial section here, I've written a tutorial on hex editing in DP, most of what's there is set out in the same way in GBA Pokemon games.
There's also some other little hex editing tutorials in the Documents and tutorials section, you just have to look and not use Cheesepeow's reference because it doesn't contain all the tutorials.

4) Like I said above look, and don't just go to Cheesepeow's reference. Also don't limit yourself to just GBA tutorials. Gamefreak didn't change too much between each game, and things in Red/Blue tutorials are still pretty applicable to 3rd gen games.

Hopefully that answers the questions and I didn't just lose the point.

Well, thanks for the advice on that one. :)

I guess I'm going to have to learn to hex edit after all, which is a bit disappointing because I've been looking for a table file and tutorials with no luck.

But... can't seriously be that much of a lack of table files and tutorials. The forum search and google haven't helped, I guess my question now is where else could I search?

EDIT: Didn't see thethethethe's reply, just reading it now... Thanks for that, I'll go look at the tutorial now. Will I need a table file for it? I can only find R/S B/R/Y G/S/C ones.

I need the offsets for Prof Birch in ruby, or some other way to change his sprite.

Anyone have a way?

It's been ages since I've last posted! Don't worry, though, I've just been very, very busy. [/nobody cares]

-ahem-

After many painstaking hours of trail and error, I've-for the most part- finished my title screen for my hack. There's one problem though.

http://img518.imageshack.us/img518/6200/titlescreenof8.png

I don't think I can pass off my fusion hack with the name "RUBY VERSION", huh?

The problem with editing the text is that if I try to edit it even the slightest, it comes out with a white background and screwy colors. I've checked all the Ruby title screen topics, but none of them deal with editing the actual title of a Ruby hack.

Pardon my wall of text, I just really need a good answer. D:

[Meowth]

Hmm, we must've lost posts.

I need to know how to either edit the script already in existance or to delete them in Ruby for the Truck event in the beginning.

[現実として巨大なもの]

I need to know how to use hexlation or hexworkshop to get rid of the professor oak intro in firered. Can anyone help?

[rusticolus]

So it appears my post was deleted. Without explaining why. If I'm mistaken… sorry for this but… that's completely obnoxious of whoever did that. At least PM me if you're going to delete my question without answering it. How immature of you.

So I'll ask again. I'm having trouble opening a script in pokescript.
Once pokescript is doing… what do i do with my fire_red.gba file to open the script in pokescript?
What options do I have to select? Is it the .gba file that I use? Decode? Encode?
Please just take me through the obviously simple process of opening the rom script in pokescript.

If this is to be deleted, PM me. Please.

[Meowth]

Rusticolus, you choose destinination, that's the rom file. I dont think our posts were deleted, because I too posted in this thread last night, and then the site went under maintenance.

for a better tutorial on that, look on youtube. Just search pokescript and you should find some.

Now, I also need to know how to get rid of the mom event with the clock in Ruby.

[cε׀׀]

Sakujo, you'll obviously have to delete the script after you get out from the truck. It can be done in the events section in Advance map. The mom event can also be done in that way.

[Meowth]

Really? That easy? Alright, thanks! I have another problem though.

I got this to work in RUBY except for a few things: When you nickname the ditto you get, it ends the text. It also repeats over and over again... so you can keep going back to the person.

I know the text is screwed up, I just need the events to work first.

how to fix it????

Umm.. Sry 4 OT, but how can you change all the texts, also what software do you use?

cause when i try using Advance text it can't change every file...

[Meowth]

1: I dunno, sorry...

2: I prefer Ruby now, only because it has a lot of free space and scripts seem to respond better in it.

3: In advance map, click on the map you're on. Then click Wild POKéMON tab, and set the Encounter Ratio to about... 20.

You should be good with that, sorry about not knowing anything about the map...

Now, can someone help me with my script?

2. What Rom is the best hack FR or Ruby???

3. I add wildbattle on a map the when i battle is done i walk 1 step it appear again
how to fix it????To answer these questions a little more effectively, here you are:

1. There is no way to do that. If you want to change the names of where the maps are on the region map, then you can use AdvanceMap 1.90, but there's no way to change how it looks without following Mastermind_X's tutorial.

2. I personally believe that Ruby is the best, because of its very bad graphics, that inspires you to change them. If you can't palette edit or are a novice and can hardly change tiles, then starting with FireRed is the best.

3. Well, this is a pretty easy question to answer: simply change the Encounter Ratio to a lower rate. The original FireRed's Encounter Ratio is originally 20, but I personally like to go a little lower, like 15-18.

Hope that helps. Oh, and sorry Sakujo. :x

I coudn't find an answer to this in Previous posts:

Why is it that when i make stairs and they are identical in movement permissions and i place the warp in the exact same place as it should go, it still doesn't work? (i'm using advance map)

the same thing happens with cave exits.

in both places the warps dont work at all even though i specified a place to go to. you just run into the stairs/exit and you dont go anywhere. Any insight would be noted and apreciated.

the same thing happens with cave exits.Are you sure you set how the tile looks correctly? You might have also changed the Movement Bytes in AdvanceMap, so you might have removed the animation of the tile.

The only options PokeScript gives me under the file menu are: Database, Encode, Decode, Source Decode, Exit.

I'm honestly so bad at this that I need someone to tell me what buttons to press in the scroll-down menu. The tutorials don't help, because they assume you know how to do that. =P... which is fair. Once I'm looking at code, I'm a pretty good scripter. I'm just retarded at PCs. Please help... further... ahaha...

I bet this has been answered, and I think I asked it before.
How do you put pokemon diamond pkmn into a gba game?

[Meowth]

Alright Rusticolus, the first ting I noticed is that you opened up the program. First wrong move lol...

You have to make sure your RBC file isnt saved as example.rbc.txt accidentally in notepad. Choose the dropdown that says text and make sure it's at "all files" when you save your script.

NEXT: go to your script, whether its on your desktop or whatever... And right click on it. There should be a "Compile" option. If there isnt, reinstall PkmAdv.exe and there will be. That will bring up your program.

Next, go to file in bufrite, and you should have destination now.

Next, click on the bottom scrip while holding down CTRL, and click the top script. All should be highlighted. Next click the Binoculars, and make sure FF is checked, and hit the Look button (flashlight button)

Choose an offset, such as 800000 for your first script, and make sure reserve isnt checked at the bottom, uncheck it and it will say assign. Click that.

Now it will close the sub-window, and will go back to Bufrite. Go to file and select burn, and it will write to the rom you chose in the Destination option earlier.

Next step is to go into advance map, choose the character you want to use that script, and go under events... just put $8000000 under their script section and save.

Hope that helped!

Now, can someone help me with MY script?

Now onto my question. On a particular route in my hack when you finish a trainerbattle the OW of the trainer you just defeated turns in to black and white lines, and you lose control of the hero who just stands there and you are only able to move in a square around the hero. It is a FireRed rom.

If it IS PokeScript, where do I FIRST access that script? I bolded the part I'm referring to: I don't HAVE any script yet, that's what I'm trying to do, I'm trying to access the fire red script.

how do you extend a rom i.e make a 16mb rom 32mb for more space..... i need this for a rom hack i am working on
You can't. Unless you want to try and change the way the pointer system works, you won't be able to do this. If you don't know, the pointers that point to where everything is, can only use a 4 byte pointer, which works like this 08xxxxxx, and if you extend beyond the end of the rom (0xFFFFFF), you probably won't be able to point to anything.

Try using Scriptdec, or get a copy of XSE for the decompiling of scripts. Pokescript supposedly has the functionality to decompile scripts, but no-one seems to know how to use it.
OR you could try and learn to script in hex:P.

EDIT: Just in case, you don't understand, decompiling scripts just means viewing the scripts already in the rom.

[flah117]

is there a map editor for pokemon yellow and/or similar to advance map?

[Yamishin]

I know this has most definetally been asked before, but the search function is being extremely slow, and I think just asking this would be faster than combing the whole forum, but:

What is the index of the male trainer back sprites in unLZ-GBA for FireRed?
I can find the palette on my own, that's the easy part ;D

[rusticolus]

Aaaah… okay… thanks both of you. I had a feeling that hex was the way to go.
I just wanted to make sure there wasn't a more user-friendly way to do it before I jump in the deep end and begin picking up hex.
Anyway… off to the hex tutorials I go…

Thanks for your help.

New Question and thus a new post:

Occasioanlly I get a problem where I can't remove connections. What is the reason for this and how can I fix it?

[Teh Baro]

I'm not sure that it's possible to change the text in FireRed, because it is not supported.

They're not supported in Fonted, but they are in the rom of course.
You just have to search in Tilemolester, tlp, etc. Remember it's 4 colours

[Lupe]

They're not supported in Fonted, but they are in the rom of course.
You just have to search in Tilemolester, tlp, etc. Remember it's 4 colours

you mean each letter has 4 colors even if you import the text's original pallete?

[BBs0n]

I've a little question.

When I edit my Roms, I've to see what the results are. So I do "New Game". But now I'm a bit further in the with hacking, so that "New Game" isn't so handy anymore.

Are there any other ways to check your results quickly??

[One Winged Angel]

yea
u can save. or if you are using VBA you can make many saves.

[Amonitas]

How can I replace pokemons icons? I tried with pokepic, but they just didn't save and Unzl thing didn't have them.

[Karasu_Phoenix]

okay, I have a few problems with some tools. I tried searching but could not find answers to these problems.
1. With Overworld Editor, im editing sprites on FR. When I go to import a pallete from another sprite, not only does it change that sprite, but several others as well. Now Prof. Oak has yellow hair, am I doing anything wrong?
2. I also need to change in battle sprites for the gym leaders. Im using PET to do this, the file type that the sprites are currently saved under won't allow me to use certain colors in MS paint, so I switched it to PNG which worked fine. Until PET didn't recognize the file and I had to convert the PNG back to a bitmap which screwed all the colors up again. Is there a way to allow PET to recognize PNG files or a way to fix the color problem with bitmaps?
3. Finally, Im trying to add music to my hack. I was able to convert the midi file to .s, but when I try to load my ROM in Sappy, it says "Sappy has stopped working" and closes itself. Is there any possible way to fix this.
sorry for the bother, but I really have my heart set on completing this hack. if you have any information please feel free to share. and im not in any hurry either, so take you're time. thank you!

Ok, here is my simple(?) question.

I am using advance text and advance map.

I want to make a signpost that says something.

I know you have to make a signpost, then take the offset and put it in advance text, BUT! I don't know where to get the offset.


Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:


Also, I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but I don't want to look through all of the pages...

okay, I have a few problems with some tools. I tried searching but could not find answers to these problems.
1. With Overworld Editor, im editing sprites on FR. When I go to import a pallete from another sprite, not only does it change that sprite, but several others as well. Now Prof. Oak has yellow hair, am I doing anything wrong?
2. I also need to change in battle sprites for the gym leaders. Im using PET to do this, the file type that the sprites are currently saved under won't allow me to use certain colors in MS paint, so I switched it to PNG which worked fine. Until PET didn't recognize the file and I had to convert the PNG back to a bitmap which screwed all the colors up again. Is there a way to allow PET to recognize PNG files or a way to fix the color problem with bitmaps?
3. Finally, Im trying to add music to my hack. I was able to convert the midi file to .s, but when I try to load my ROM in Sappy, it says "Sappy has stopped working" and closes itself. Is there any possible way to fix this.
sorry for the bother, but I really have my heart set on completing this hack. if you have any information please feel free to share. and im not in any hurry either, so take you're time. thank you!

Well, I can help you with #1 and 2: The palletes are shared between some sprites, so changing one will change all others that share it. For example, the Strength rock and the hiker in FR share the same palette, and the male protagonist and the emotion bubbles share the same palette. It's less common for non-overworlds to share palettes, but they do. Make sure your colors will work for any sprites that share the palette.

How can I replace pokemons icons? I tried with pokepic, but they just didn't save and Unzl thing didn't have them.

next time, try and search around the Documents and Tutorials...

You should try Advance-map. Go to Events view. Add a signpost-event. And give it the offset. Then it should work fine!

A Few Quick Questions:
1) Occasioanlly I get a problem where I can't remove connections. What is the reason for this and how can I fix it?
2) How do you change the text that is there at the start of every 'New Game' on Fire Red and Leaf Green? I'm talking about 'Welcome to the World of Pokemon' stuff which is on a Pikachu decorated notepad.
3) How do you edit the sr=tart up text? (2004 Productions Nintendo and the sorts)

Thanks!

OK, here's my question:

How do you compile a script using ScriptEd? I've tried putting ScriptEd, my script and the rom in the same directory and when I click on compile, it just gives me this error:
Run-time error '53':

File not found

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

2) How do you change the text that is there at the start of every 'New Game' on Fire Red and Leaf Green? I'm talking about 'Welcome to the World of Pokemon' stuff which is on a Pikachu decorated notepad.
Use Advance-Text.

thank you very much, that makes a lot of sense. Hopefully I can get it to work right now.

Is it just me, or do scripts work better in Ruby than FR?
