Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

[Darthatron]

This is the second time I had to type this, so excuse any lack of detail... (I pressed the Preview Button, not the Submit Button... :()

..::Sprite Editing::..

Here in example of the First Sprite...
FFFF001102110002100020001001000010373A089C373A0870343A08A0003A08FC1C2308
Ok.. Let's learn what some of the bytes mean...
FFFF Starter Byte
00 Unkown (Buffer?)
110211 Unkown Data 1
0002 Unkown Data Size
10 Width
00 Unkown (Buffer?)
20 Height
00 Unkown (Buffer?)
10010000 Unkown Data 2
10373A08 Unkown Pointer
9C373A08 Unkown Pointer
70343A08 Unkown Pointer
A0003A08 Spirite Pointer (Repoint this so you don't 'Glitch' The Sprites after it.)
FC1C2308 Unkown Pointer

Hope that helped? I can go into even more detail... But I'm getting lazy right now. :) (Typing the same thing twice can do that to you...)

Here are the locations of the Sprite Data for some of the English Games...
FireRead = 3A3BB0
LeafGreen = 3A3B90
Ruby = 3718D4
Sapphire = 371864
Emerald = 509954

[Time]

okay, thanks, but what should I look up in hex?
I mean, how do I find the offsets of each overworld?
I also mean, what should I type in the search function for me to look for it?

[Darthatron]

The Sprites are all in a row. Like so...

FFFF001102110002100020001001000010373A089C373A0870343A08A0003A08FC1C2308 Sprite 1

Etc...

[Time]

so they're in a row, okay, thanks, but, i asked what shold I type, er, here...

I am sorry if I'm starting to annoy you, though...

[Darthatron]

If you were wanting to change FireRed you would use the GoTo Function and type "3A3BB0" with the Hex option selected.

Ignore the "&H" Part, that is just for Programming. And don't worry, you're not annoying me.

[Pounder_Zeikku]

I have a question, how do you change a textbox in FR, I want one similar to liquid ocean and rijon adventures..

I've opened it in Tile ED...I know the offset, but Don't know what I do next...

ah, I see know.
thankies. :3
I'll try it then. :3

edit: another question.., how will I know what offsets to use for repointing..? :\
I mean.., how can I search for free offsets, or should I use Free Space Finder?

[Darthatron]

edit: another question.., how will I know what offsets to use for repointing..? :\

Use Free Space Finder. Just Find this Value... Height x Width / 2

Example.

Height = 32
Width = 16

Value = 32 * 16 / 2
Value = 512 / 2
Value = 256

So you would search for 256 Free Bytes.

[Time]

I see...
I never used a Free Space Finder before though...
am I doing this right?
since I wanna have a 32x32 overworld... :\

[rusticolus]

What do you mean by the offset for Oak's Parcel? Did you mean the script where you receive Oak's Parcel from the Mart Clerk? If so, it's not trial and error it's finding a pointer within the rom. They're in hex, and they aren't too hard to find as long as you know how to look for them.
I can tell when I'm looking at a script in GBA roms, it's not too hard to pick up. It's just sometimes, a little difficult to apply that script to what's actually happening within the game.
I don't believe there is a list of offsets for the Advanced gen. I think it would take too long to write one up. Remember that's 16mb worth of data.

If that's not what you're talking about, What did you mean?

Yes that's exactly what I meant.

Or, for example… what is the offset for like… Charmander's moveset or TM list?
I'm beginning to understand how Hex works, but it still looks like a pile of unworkable numbers (and letters… =P) when I first look at it.

For example… 2900 is the pokemon Zubat… how does it know that the 29 byte isn't the command setflag? Though don't actually answer that, that's probably something I'll figure out shortly. =P
Just a thought.

EDIT: and in case I haven't said it clearly yet: thank you very much for your help. It's probably pretty easy to ignore somebody so ignorant as myself. Now that I'm beginning to understand it a bit better, your hex tutorial will likely be invaluable. Anyway… I appreciate it. I'll probably have a few more questions before I'm up on my way.

[Mages4ever]

unLZ-GBA works for Fire Red.



You could try YAPE (Yet Another Pokemon Editor).



You can find all of the texts in the game using Advance-Text by using the search function and entering the text you would like to change.



There's a Ruby hack called Pokemon Quartz which has been completed.

You = Pwnage...

But anyways... Can i add in a move that a pokemon learns that is not part of it's normal lvl up
like for example:

Charizard at level 90 learning blast burn

[Cryomancer]

There's lots of editors that can let you change moves learned, check out the toolbox section.

[Darthatron]

I see...

Yeah, that's right, now just replace the 4 Bytes I marked out with the 3 Bytes FSF gave you (Remember to flip it.) and "08".

Example.

Let's say FSF gave you the Bytes "123456", in your hex editor you would change the 4 Bytes I should you to... "56341208", get it?

Yes, you can use YAPE for this.

How do you make a gym leader give you a badge in Pokescript?

[Quilava's Master]

Yes, you can use YAPE for this.

its a flag you have to set

heres the list I have just add it to your script

0x820 - First Badge
0x821 - Second Badge

How all it shows is the level up moves, and no add button.

Help me?

[Quilava's Master]

Help me?

the beauty of YAPE is that if u remove a move from another pokemon it (the move) goes to a 'pool' and that move can be reused for another pokemon and it doesnt have to be the same move. As I see it remove a move from a pokemon (like a useless move u dont want it to have) and go to edit say a charizard and the add button should be highlighted..and the rest is self explanatory

[cooley]

Well Darthatrons Tool could edit moves regardless! How's that for beauty?

I have a question...
My cyclone never loads a "RAW" image or "TMAP" image, everytime I try to open, It doesn't say "something loaded" and the Image on the Right panel is just something. PM me if anyone has the answer, or needs details.

I will also post this again, if no one answers so...

[現実として巨大なもの]

I don't know if I'm allowed to request a tool since I can't find it in the toolbox so can anyone plz help me get a good cyclone? I have the prototype but it won't even open. Also I've asked this before and was left dumb-founded so I'll ask again- is it possible to get rid of the Prof. Oak intro from the beginning of each new game in FR or have it replace with a sort of cutscene? Plz don't question skills becuz I have my connections. I just want to know if its possible or has been done before. If so has it been done with a tool for pokemon or a norma hex editor like hexworkshop?

[Myoko-chan]

I am trying to compile a script with ScriptEd(came with EliteMap) and this message comes up

Am I missing some files? How do I fix this?

The Prototype is the only version available.

No, you can't remove it.

[Gold Tom]

Okay. I need a script that gives you a level 35 Pikachu without any messages or fanfare. I also need a script so that said Pikachu cannot be put away in your computer or traded.

0x80B - 5th badge
0x80C - 6th badge
0x80D - 7th badge
0x80E - 8th badge

[Mortar]

Thank you. Do you happen to know how to play that tune you normally get when you get a badge or does it play automatically once you set the flag?

[Gold Tom]

When you say Pokedex Menu does that mean adding the Pokedex to the menu? (If this is stating the obvious I know I'm an idiot!) I know it's a stupid question but, I just want to be sure.

[Mortar]

Yes, it adds the Pokedex to the menu.

no... it's not automatic...
you have to add a fanfare on the script. :)

why not spent some time reading thethethethe's scripting tutorial..? :\
you can learn a lot from there. :)

[Gold Tom]

Okay. That's a very good idea.

[Mortar]

I understand now. But that's not the correct 'fanfare'... It's the fanfare that plays when you get a normal item, not the one that plays when you get a badge. Does anyone know the offset for the badge fanfare?

[Quilava's Master]

Well, where else do you get tools from? The toolbox of course! It's called Pokemon Editor Pro by the way.

Are you retarded? Stop capsing.

As for your question, make the person that is gonna give you a Pokemon give you a flag as well and use checkflag in the other person's script to see whether the flag has been set or not. If it has, the guy walks away, if it doesn't, the guy stays put.

Is there a way to create a script that allows you to choose 3 Pokemon out of 3 Poke Balls and when you choose a Poke Ball, the Pokemon's picture appears on your screen? I know there's a 3 Poke Balls script, but I don't think it includes displaying the Pokemon's picture.

could someone give me a complete list of what all advance map movement permissions do?

I recently fixed my pc and i have XP Service pack 3 now.
When i open programs like overworld editor and asvance text i get an error:

it's very easy to find, just google it.

[geno421]

This isn't really a technical question or anything...

I was editing the maps for my hack in AdvanceMap and was using my Leaf Green rom as a source to know how far away the towns were in Kanto.
Once I was done editing my map I closed AdvanceMap and when straight from my LeafGreen rom to my hacked FireRed and all the trainer info and my pokemon from LF were in my hack as a continue. O_O

It's so weird. I mean now I can test out my town's by flying from town to town but still...eventually I'll need to create a new game to test events.

Has this happened to anyone else?

Tileset question.

I am only trying to edit my tiles slightly for my Pokecenter and Pokemart.

I can find the Pokecenter but not the mart and only half of the building. I'll attach the DIB files to see if someone can help me.

Also, I was wondering if I put my new tile at the bottom of the second tileset if that would mess anything up.

im making a hack of gold
nothing major
i just want to make it so all 251 pokemon are obtainable because i want to use it on my mobile phone using Meboy (Java emulator for Sony Ericssons + some other phones) - there is no way of linking with other games to get them the normal way
i want to know how i can add events where i am offered the choice of pokemon (like the hitmonchan/lee event) to allow all 6 starters to be obtained along throughout the course of the game.

i also want to know how to set up a legendary event - Mew, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, and Celebi - where you see the pokemon's overworld sprite and then battle it

Ive been editing sprites and changing their palletes lately, but for some reason the last sprite i switched with in unLZ-GBA looks fine but when i wrote it to the rom (i check the export pallete and export image) it had a weird group of mixed up colors and lines under the image, i cant seem to get rid of them. Is it the size?

BigSteveBigSteve, there's no step-by-step way to do that sort of thing -- what you need to do is look into scripting. cooley's tutorial (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=120374) is a fair way to start, and once you see how it works you can just use Tauwasser's scripting doc to do whatever you need.

Please a bit more info?

But i know one "00" is space... Sorry just kidding, but you need to tell some more!

[Infernal Contraption]

Dr.Razor: Which Pokémon do you need?

theboss: You slide the map over in AdvanceMap. Make some space on the left or right side (depending on where the map is connecting in the middle). I think there's another way, as well, I think with the Connection Editor and fixing the connection. But I'm not too sure. Anyway, just try asking in the "Map Help Thread".

[BigSteve]

started scripting today with Cooley's tutorial
i managed to make the fat guy say 'Hello!' and i also managed to make him move after talking using the tutorial
when he moves though, a blank text box appears and sits over the screen until you move so it isnt displayed. after he moves, the moving sprites for HIRO become glitched, as do the fat mans. letters are displayed instead of the sprites whenever they are moving but the sprites are normal when standing still, what causes this?

the other thing is
how do i script a legendary event? like Arcticuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Mewtwo where you talk to them, they attack you, they disapear from the overworld whether you kill catch or lose

the final thing is
how do i write text in scripts? i got 'Hello!' from Cooley's tutorial

thanks

[Zaptinex]

Say, do you put a supporter banner of someones pokemon hack because you like it or because your one of the people working on it?

[One Winged Angel]

both
(25252525252525)
Also theres some for support and some for the team

[Diggeh]

Is there a tool out that can change a Pokemon's cry?

For example, let's say I wanted Wingull to have Hoothoot's cry and vice versa. Is there any way to swap those?

[One Winged Angel]

Yea, i think YAPE does that feature.

[Cryomancer]

What actually happens when you use an HM or the bike? I assume it changes your movement permissions/sets a flag? I also assume they could be messed with via scripting?

[Diggeh]

Yea, i think YAPE does that feature.

I'm sorry, but I use YAPE a ton and it currently doesn't possess any Pokemon cry swapper.

Anyone else know a program that can swap cries of Pokemon?

yah!!! first post

Oh kay so... I know this question was asked allready like a 1000 times but i really dont have that kinda time to search through 194 pages with my 56k modem so...

1.) How do i edit movement scripts
2.) How do i change trainers pokemon
3.) How do i create a new map using goldmaps
4.) How do i edit the world map
5.) Wow do i use unlz.gba

REMINDER- all these questions refer to pokemon gold and silver

[garra911]

I want to change the colors of just one of the tiles on my tileset, how can i do that without completely changing the the palette

[IIMarckus]

1.) How do i edit movement scriptsLearn basic scripting (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=120374), and when you get enough practice you'll know what to do.2.) How do i change trainers pokemonOpen your ROM in a hex editor and go to offset 039CC2. This is a list of all the trainers in the game: first is the name, then [50], and then any of the following four data structures:

[00]
[Level] [Pokemon] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
[FF]

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

[02]
[Level] [Pokemon] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)
[FF]

[03]
[Level] [Pokemon] [Item] [Attack1] [Attack2] [Attack3] [Attack4] (up to 6 times, once for each Pokemon)

If you want I can send you a list of what values represent each item and attack. For now, just know that "level" is the level in hexadecimal, and "pokemon" is the Pokemon's Pokedex number in hexadecimal.3.) How do i create a new map using goldmapsIt's [i]much easier to overwrite existing maps than to create new ones. If you need to create a new one, you need strong knowledge of pointers and repointing.4.) How do i edit the world mapThe Johto Pokegear map is located at offset 091FFF in a hex editor, and Kanto is at offset 092168. Each 8x8 tile is represented by a byte. The first two rows of the map are normally covered by text in-game, so you won't see any changes unless you start changing bytes further down.5.) Wow do i use unlz.gbaUNLZ-GBA is for GBA games, and not relevant to hacking Gold and Silver.

I need a script for when you move down onto the stairs from a mountain, a guy walks up from below off screen and challenges you to a pokebattle in Fire red. It could be any trainer already in the game. Then I need him to talk and walk away when he's beat.

I'll add the givepokemon part in, but Im not good with movement.

Anyone help?

[Thrace]

What actually happens when you use an HM or the bike? I assume it changes your movement permissions/sets a flag? I also assume they could be messed with via scripting?
Well I'm pretty sure there are no movement permissions or flags set but take the cut HM for example, all it does is checks if there is a pokemon who knows the move in your team, assigns the number (number in team) to var 600D and plays and the black banner animation with the pokemon who knows the attack sliding past. Then obviously it plays the tree cutting animation and then hides the tree. All of that can be done by scripting. As for the bike there is a special that can activate it.

I'm sorry, but I use YAPE a ton and it currently doesn't possess any Pokemon cry swapper.

Anyone else know a program that can swap cries of Pokemon?
Pokecry? From the Elitemap package, but that might only be for R/S.

I want to change the colors of just one of the tiles on my tileset, how can i do that without completely changing the the palette
You don't have to completely change the pallete just the colours you need. But apart from that no you can't.

Probably not the place to put this, theres really nothing hard in the script what exactly are you having trouble with?

---------------------------------------------

How do you play the Sea Gallop animation? When you use the special it automatically warps you to Vermillion City.

[Zephium]

Hi I am looking for help in finding certain programs in order to create my hack.
So far I have found mostly everything i need though it was a pain because almost all of the links on this website do not go through and is completely senseless to have a sticky on it since it doesn't work...
and i believe it should be fixed... because anyone looking for the programs now will have a hard time...
I have successfully found almost all of the programs through 4shared, the only thing i used this site for was the NAMES of the programs.
I am asking if someone could give me a couple of names or urls for the download for the last programs on my list...

1. A program to Make my own pokemon
(someone told me on this site that a program hackedlz could do this, i don't think thats right cuz i couldn't find nothing on the web about this program.)
If it is right i need a link or help finding it please.

2. A program to transfer pokemon from diamond/Pearl to emerald or FireRed

3. A program to add/create items/moves without deleting or altering any of the moves already on the Rom.
(I dunno if this is possible, help would be benificial please)

*If anyone could help me with these 3 things please considering i have taken almost a day in trying to get every program i need.
If you are going to give me a link please chek it ahead of time because 9 out of 10 times i forwarded to a link from the toolbox, it was a dead link because the programmer has canceled their site.
*I may be out of place, but someone should create a sticky in the toolbox with the tools that cannot be found through the links and give a proper zip file with all the appropriate files so noobs like me can find the files. Some posts had zip ext's and thats the only ones that proved successful for download. If i get the rest of the files i am going to create a post with the zip's.
*Sorry if i sound jarred it's just that i had trouble finding these programs and this is the main site for these hacks considering every other website linked me to this one, so it should be more useful in my opinion...

Thanks a lot i would appreciate it =)
Besides I want to Finish my Hack Already!

[Time]

If it is right i need a link or help finding it please.

to make your very own POKéMON, you'll need Unlz-GBA and MS Paint, or any painting program for making your very own POKéMON.
I do think there are tutorials in the Documents and Tutorials...
Search around that thread...

2. A program to transfer pokemon from diamond/Pearl to emerald or FireRed

er... I don't think there is any yet...
But if you mean D/P POKéMON sprites to be transfered to FireRed or Emerald, you can google some D/P sprites and insert them in FireRed or Emerald using the method I answered in your number 1 question...

3. A program to add/create items/moves without deleting or altering any of the moves already on the Rom.
(I dunno if this is possible, help would be benificial please)

I don't think there is such a tool/program to add new moves/items in the ROM... But I think it's possible through hex... Not sure, I'm still learning hex myself... :\

what program do i need if i want to save tilesets to my comp? and how do i do this then?

for Fired/Leafgreen/Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/Diamond/Pearl

[cε׀׀]

You do it in A-map.
Go to block editor>save tileset1 (or two if you want) and open it in paint and edit it.
It's not possible with Diamond/Pearl.

k quick question, I'm hacking Fire Red with PET and I want to know if there is a way to edit the trainer sprites in-battle. I tried editing the sprites myself with MS Paint.

AdvanceMap doesn't work with GBC games. For editing Gold and Silver, try Goldmap or Megamap; for Crystal, try using Crysmap.

ive tried a total of 5 different ROMS and all of them do this :S

the whole script is....

6A 31 10 00 09 F0 65 47 4C B0 65 53 49 2D 01 06 00 00 33 10 00 90
47 4C B0 65 53 49 90 00

text
pointers

hope you can see the problem

[IIMarckus]

The game didn't freeze when I inserted that script. These were the locations:

1225A0 - first script
1225C0 - second script ("if already given")
1225D0 - text

And I changed the pointers accordingly.


So yeah, no freezing problems there, but having tried the script I see why you were getting weird text before. When you use the GivePokemon command, it triggers dialogue asking if you want to nickname it. But since you've already loaded sprites back into RAM, it displays the sprites instead of text. You can fix this by moving the Load Moving Sprites command to the end of the script.

You would have to use hex to have more maps, by adding in new pointers.

You also can put in the Articuno event with a simple battle code.

okay.okay, I was on PHCompany the other day and a saw this REALLY cool R/S Patch there.

Now the site is gone and I was wondering if anybody has it? (I belive it had like... D/P Tiles or something)

[Gold Tom]

There's one in ROM Hacking Resources.

[~KiTsUnE]

didn't you read my post? there is only ONE R/S Patch... AND IT'S NOT THE ONE I WAS TALKING ABOUT!

It was WICKED AWESOME, and I belive it had D/P Tiles.


I want it. NAO.

[Gold Tom]

Oh, I saw that one. Sad about it closing eh?

[~KiTsUnE]

yeah, but that's not the topic.

I just want the R/S Base they had just a few days ago. (Like I said, it had THE coolest Tiles!)

[BigSteve]

in theory
if i took a blank .txt document, and pokemon gold
then used windhex32 to make a patch of pokemon gold
and told it the blank .txt was the original
would it create a patch to turn blank.txt into pokemon gold?
and if so would it be against the rules to distribute this patch?

EDIT: i just tested this

by making a patch of a ROM and choosing a blank .txt as the original, you can reproduce the rom using the patch. however, you need to rename the file to .gbc instead of .txt for VBA to read it correctly. so now my only question is - is this against the rules to give out?

The file is still a ROM image it is not a patch, just because it now has the extension of .txt doesn't make it legal.

Now, my question...
Will the changed tile become permanent all throughout the game?

Thankies~

Well, when changing tiles through a script the changes aren't permanent. In fact, each time you leave the map and you come back again, the tiles will be loaded again from the ROM.


And now to my problem, how do you change the Pokemon that Old Man catches in Viridian City? I'm trying to change it to Entei if that helps. Also, which tool can change Attack Names?
It would require some ASM hacking skills, but I'll tell you what you need to edit.
So, load your ROM with a hex editor. I'm assuming you're hacking FireRed.
Go to offset 0x07F88C. Once there you will see 0x0D. Change it to 0xF4.
Go to offset 0x03F7A0. You will see 0x7C. Change it to 0x20.
In case you're interested in the level too, simply change the byte at 0x07F88E.
Now, using the special 0x9D in any script you would see something similar:

http://s3.tinypic.com/oqyxkz.jpg

Regarding your second question, you can use NEA (Name Editor Advance) or any hex editor which supports tables.

How does one change the back sprites for the trainers?

[Cartmic]

it isnt changing the extension to .txt, it is making a patch that would convert a blank .txt document into a gold rom named as a .txt

i meant is distributing such a patch legal?

All that is happening there is it is comparing the rom with a blank text file, so as there is no data in the text file it copies across all the rom data. Even with patches with most peoples hacks these days, they are not legal, as what makes it illegal is the copyrighted nintendo content such as tiles copied form Diamond.

Its not the fact that its a ROM image, its the copyrighted content within the file thats the problem.

I have now made a coolie house, that i want to put in... buuuuuuuut do not know how, i have an idea/hunch, but i can't just go off on that.

Have you extracted the current tileset?
If so you need to make sure the colours are right, then carefully place it onto the house tiles you are replacing, now load up Advance Map, load an outside map, click tools>block editor>picture>load tileset

[Meowth]

Okay, so I found the offset for Oak's image in the beginning. It's located at 0x461734.

Now, question is, how do I get there in unLZ?

Because it just takes numbers, not offsets.

You convert that address into Decimal, which would be 4593460.

[Meowth]

Okay, I tried that.... but, it still didn't go there.

IT says its at a different image offset than I specified.

It says it's at 008E37DC, and doesn't show the image of Oak.

[Time]

Well, when changing tiles through a script the changes aren't permanent. In fact, each time you leave the map and you come back again, the tiles will be loaded again from the ROM.

Oh~
Thankies for that info, - HackMew -... :3

Ahh... so you don't know.... Damn, does anyone else know?

EDIT: I found them, and I'm sharing!

Now I just have the problem of changing Oak's beginning pallete to Mewtwo's....

[Gold Tom]

Well thanks a lot HackMew! Now to get a good Hex Editor...

EDIT: Okay, I decided to have Old Man catch a Pikachu instead and incorporate Entei later, well, it screwed up with just a ? in a circle, what offsets should I do for Pikachu?

[Time]

well... 0D is the hex number of Weedle, and so if you want Pikachu, it's hex number is 19. :3

[Gold Tom]

Oh right, I figured it out, but thankyou.

[BigSteve]

why are maps put into banks in such an illogical order?

[Hat?]

Because Nintendo was trying to confuse possible ROM Hackers.

[Gold Tom]

I know this is a dumb question, but where can I find the font for 'FireRed Version' from the boxart and Intro screen.

[BigSteve]

Because Nintendo was trying to confuse possible ROM Hackers.

ah ok, looks like they failed :P

does that mean if i made a hack from scratch using no nintendo maps warps etc i could just have the first map as bank 1 map 1 and so on?

[Hat?]

You could do anything you wanted to within hardware limitations. But it'll take alot of time to rearrange what is stored where!

can anybody tell me where this script goes wrong please?
6a 47 4c f0 5d 53 5c 90 50 5e 49 90
to my knowledge this script should make Articuno
face me, open text box, print pointed text (Gyaoo!) close text box load pokemon (Articuno) and start battle, then end script
for some reason it opens the text box, prints the pointed text, closes the box and starts a battle, but then i get this : http://i29.tinypic.com/vd341w.png

anyone care to tell me what's wrong?

btw, the text is supposed to be blue in a black box, i chose for it to be like that :)

[HackMew]

I know this is a dumb question, but where can I find the font for 'FireRed Version' from the boxart and Intro screen.

I didn't know the name of the official font therefore I decided to use the one called Frugal Sans, deeply tuned with Photoshop. It looked good enough.
Eventually you could find other nice fonts on websites like DaFont (http://www.dafont.com/).

But my problem, If I cannot have pokemon and pokedex my script is ok, but if I have a pokemon or kanto pokedex, i can pass.

Sorry if my english is not very good I really speak french

[cε׀׀]

Geez, you should put that question in the Script help thread in the scrapbox. Wrong placement mate and try putting the offsets in the end.

Theres no command called checkspecial, what you need to do is set a flag when you get the national dex and then check for that flag in this script.

Copy and paste the pallete offset of Mewtwo into APE then save that pallete, then copy and paste the pallete offset of Oak into APE and load the saved mewtwo pallete and hit replace.

You see, that's just the problem. I would have done that, but I cant seem to find Oak's correct pallete. The one from RS ball is not the same as in the opening...

[maximum911]

in fire red how do you change the sprite of the pokemon proffesor oak lets out?

[Meowth]

You gotta use IntroED to do that... If you cant find a working download here, you might be able to on YouTube.

[Thrace]

The pallete is given in UNLZ look near the top.

Anyone know how to get rid of this problem?
http://i28.tinypic.com/2q2gxtc.png
You lose control of the hero and you start controlling another person with the hero sprite but with their pallete. It happens right after a battle. The same thing happens on a few other maps too.

[Time]

hm... in my own experience, I try to change the sprite, changed the unknown values and changed the people number...

also, the simpliest thing I did was just to remove that annoying person outta the map. :\

hmm.

that can also happen without another sprite there, or even if the sprite is off screen.

i am not sure how to fix it.

[Gold Tom]

Incidentally, is there a way to make the player's sprite change for a while, I'm planning on doing disguises for my hack.

[Lupe]

can someone give the offset of the door animations and battle textbox for tlp(fire red)

[Quilava's Master]

I was wondering if there was an item changer...like a real one. I can change their names, description, and picture between unlz & a-mart but i wanted to add new stones but i dont know how to do that sinbce there isnt an item changer

[Meowth]

The pallete is given in UNLZ look near the top.


Yeah, but that doesn't work, because it's not the pallete in game. Then you switch the pallete, and the pallete number at the top switches, too.

Is kinda weird in that sense...

[Meowth]

I have a part of my hack where I need the player's sprite to change too, but mine's more simple. I just need to take a Vs. Seeker sprite and change it probably.

[One Winged Angel]

Hey, is there a list that tells you which D/P pokemon have the same palette as The other 386? Cuz chimchar has no match To my knowledge.

[BigSteve]

for some reason Articuno has the ability to flee from battle like the legendary dogs, despite being a talk to the sprite, battle and then the sprite vanishes

how do i remove its ability to run?

this is for Pokemon Gold

i have the legendary scripts for my hack sorted now :)
this means i can set up all the legendary events (other than Celebi)without too much hassle now - i just need to finish my maps

the only problem i have now is - how the hell do i remove the ability to run from Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres? they just run from battle all the time, and because my flags / refresh are now working you only get to battle them once- when they run theyre gone forever.

[Cryomancer]

I'm trying to insert a larger-than-venusaur image into a leaf green title screen. having an issue.

if i do it just by overwriting the venusaur, of course it comes out garbled, BUT with the correct palette (the 14th line of the title screen's obj palette)

now, if i use cyclone to give it a new tilemap, the image works fine, but seems to only want to use the first line of the obj palette, no matter what I do. I COULD go in and manually edit that line, but I don't understand why its even going to line one. Even if I set the palette to 14 in cyclone it does this, even if i offset palettes, etc. The only thing I can think of that could be making this have issue is the fact that cyclone won't use pngs, and thus can't do the indexed palette business correctly?

too long ; didn't read: when i use a tilemap to insert title screen graphics, it keeps using line one instead of line 14 for it's palettes, WHY?

How to put DP pokemon into FR/LG, quick guide since everyone asks:
1. get your sprite
2. make sure it's 64x64 and 16 colors, make it smaller if you have to
3. save it as a png with 256 colors (but only 16 used). it is now indexed.
4. insert it into the rom using unlzgba.
5. if unlzgba says it's too big, use free space finder to find 64 free bytes, and tell unlzgba to offset the image with the number free space finder gives you.

[Time]

hello pipz...
I got a question here though... :\

I wanna edit both sprites and music, but...

oh... okay...
well, I have a new problem though... :\

I accidentally 'always open this file' the .s file (the result after dragging midi file to mid2agb) to notepad, and now, Sappy won't assemble it.

any thoughts on how to fix this?
I tried to delete and extract it again... same problem... :\
thankies~

[Cryomancer]

right click it
open with >
choose program

that will let you change what opens it. if you want to remove any association, go to any folder, hit tools, folder options, file formats tab. find .s and remove it from the list.

I tried searching the thread for this but my search term got omitted for being too common, so I'm posting it here.

I was wondering how to change the names of a pokemon in the data, for example changing POOCHYENA to CHIMCHAR. In the event that Poochyena is encountered in the hacked game, it would not display Poochyena on the battle status bar, instead it would display Chimchar. This would also apply to the pokedex entry.

you need a table file and a hex editor, you open the table file in notepad and work out what POOCHYENA is in hex bytes, then do a search for it, and replace it with whatever CHIMCHAR is in hex bytes





still nobody knows what i need to do to remove articuno's ability to flee in Gold?

[flah117]

how would you change the default names you can pick in the beggining of fire red for your rival?

hmm, i know how to alter tiles in a-map like make one tile a certain color, like a yellow tree without making the rest like that, i'm good with palette editing and spriting, etc...
w/e right...

well i came here to ask if there is a 'good' tutorial or anything of the sort on how to upload custom sprites..?
Editing palettes and stuff becomes too tedious, i want to know if there is a way to get my stuff into the game quick, and easy--i know is not an option^-^
i have custom made pokemon centers, marts, buildings and trees

so if anyone knows even a teency bit that could help me, i would much appreciate it.

hex editing u should do what Bigsteve said..or you can use YAPE or Pokemon Editor Pro..both VERY great tools..look in the toolbox

There you go, I hoped I helped you :classic:

[Meowth]

Heres a different type of question:

Say you have two people working on a hack.

One person is scripting and one person is mapping.

Will it work if the mapper saves changer and applies the script changes after? Or will it revert the maps?

[Gold Tom]

I'm pretty sure that as long as you keep the free space clear you should be able to merge the changes by Patching. The free space thing is important though, because if a new map goes on the position your scripter is inserting their scripts into it could be disastrous when you merge. I'm pretty sure these facts are correct because me and my mate used to muck around with hacking and then merge back together and it never screwed up(although our hacks were always halfdone and pretty crappy).

[Meowth]

Thanks for the info!

Im glad to hear thats the way it is.

If the palette is right, and you resize it where needed. Then yes, the format should work fine.

So, sorry to annoy but, does anyone know how to temporarily change the sprite of the player character?

[Darthatron]

So, sorry to annoy but, does anyone know how to temporarily change the sprite of the player character?

It's not possible. If it was think of all the gold hacks that would be out there. :P

However, it can happen accidentally in scripts.

[Gold Tom]

So, I need to find a glitchy script and then test it if I REALLY want to do it. And is that a good idea?

[Darthatron]

So, I need to find a glitchy script and then test it if I REALLY want to do it. And is that a good idea?

It's a glitch, it's going to be very hard to make it happen on purpose, let alone to the change it to the character you want to take over.

[Gold Tom]

Oh, well, I'll adjust the story to fit. I know it is kind of stupid but I like to muck around with this kind of thing. When I was young I loved to catch MissingNo just because it was a glitch.

[DarkDoom3000]

use MeBoy- that will play Gb and GBC on your phone :)
