I'm having a bit of a problem.

In firered i would like to edit an item,
so when i press 'use' it warps me to a map.

Has anyone got any idea how to do it?

[FHJoker]

Assuming you mean gb-z80 (the kind of ASM used to program the GBC), you can find a lot of resources at WSU (http://cratel.wichita.edu/cratel/ECE238Spr08).

Find a list of opcodes, and start disassembling a section of ROM. From there you'll be able to figure it out.

what is a good disassembler?

[Darkrai64]

Hmmmmmm, I searched everywhere I could on Pokecommunity AND Google. Where can I download Sappy? Also, is there anything else I need with it? If so, where can I download that?

EDIT: The one I found isn't working. Where can I get sappy and Mid2Agb that work?

[marko_hacker]

does anyone know is it possible and where can i download tiles for pokemon ruby

What number is Larvitar in HEX? so I can finish my script.

[KhaosKnight]

What number is Larvitar in HEX? so I can finish my script.

i believe its F6, just use the Caculator on your computer in Scientific mode to find HEX numbers

[Time]

yes, Larvitar's hex value is F6. ;)

anyways, I have a question...
hope you all don't mind?

how can I swap POKéMON cries?
what I mean is that, Zigzagoon, I wanna swap it's cry with Sentret. Can I do this with a hex editor?

thanks in advance~

[IIMarckus]

-I need some help. Lately I've been trying to hack gold and it has a lot of the problems in the ROM that we had in the catridge. That's not important now but we really need a ROM expander. Does anyone know if its possible to expand the Gold or Crystal ROM and or how to do it?It's easy to do, but you'll lose the RTC features. Just double the size of the ROM to 4MB and change the MBC byte in the header to match an MBC5.-Also, since a ROM always has the same amount of MB before its hacked and tilesets, OWs, titlescreen etc. are changed to almost all that we like does graphic changing have any effect on the total MB of the rom? Say for instance that I DO replace FR graphics with non- 3d(its actually camera movements and overlapping frames) DP graphics, will my ROM's MB go from say 4 (just saying) MB to 4.8 or whatnot?Since you're replacing the graphics, the final ROMs will always be the same size. Technically, there's no way to add a few bytes here and there to a ROM, because the Game Boy itself can only read in blocks of specific sizes -- so, for example, you wouldn't be able to add fifty bytes to Gold, but you could add 2MB.what is a good disassembler?Googling "gbz80 disassembler" brought up several results, but I was talking about doing it by hand. Look at a byte, check what its opcode is, write it down. Look at the next few bytes, write down the opcodes. As you do that you'll begin to notice patterns, follow calls, and so forth until things start making sense. If you know where in the game your ASM string is being called, try replacing some complete opcodes with 00s and see what doesn't happen... things like that.

I'm new to Advance Map and when I attempt to load a rom, it gives me an error message saying "File access denied." Anybody know?

I've searched around, but haven't found the answer or solution to the problem.

For some reason, whenever i try to go to route 3, the game always freezes.
this only works if i go to route 3 and it always happens, no matter what connection i put on it.
can anyone tell me the problem?
oh, and i was using AM 1.92, and it didn't show any signs of there being errors.

check the level scripts, sometimes when you modify the map that uses a level script, it can sometimes make the map lockup(like if you edit the Sootopolis gym without changing the level scripts, it will freeze when you enter the gym)

Use one of those gaurd houses that connects some routes(like the house thing that connects Celadon and Cycling road and others)

[.Pichu-kun]

OK, I never though of that! :P
Thanx, I'll try that. :)

[KhaosKnight]

also since that is your starting town, you may need to make the house thing kinda blend in...

[Dark Lakitu]

Hey, you can also change the "offset" of the map connection on the other route. A gatehouse in a basic town seems a little dumb.

[.Pichu-kun]

Well, what do I change the offset to?

[Dark Lakitu]

On the connecting route, change it, test it, change it and so until it works! Close and reopen the emulator when doing so, though.

[.Pichu-kun]

Like, to what ever?
Like, 000001, 000002, etc.?
I've never changed the offset when dealing with connections. :\

[44tim44]

Like, to what ever?
Like, 000001, 000002, etc.?
I've never changed the offset when dealing with connections. :\

It's pretty simple Eeveon,
Let's say a map is...
40 wide <-> 'and then theres a conection to a route below it.
20 wide <-> 'and you want the route on the bottom right of the "40"map

then you need to put in the number off tiles between the start of
town and where the route will touch town,
so in the offset box, you enter for ex. -10 if you want the connection to
move 10 tiles up or left (depending on which way you put connection)

So as said, try and change the offset box with 10, and see how the connection
moves and you'll understand what I mean ^^

I hope this helped.

thanks in advance~
You could use a hex editor, but it's a little faster to just use pokecry. Pokecry allows you to repoint cries. Open up Pokecry.
Then in the PokeID, type in the number of the Pokemon you want to replace. I'll use the example of Charmander(4). Then click Encode. For me, 513038 comes up in the SampleOffset box. Paste that into notepad just so you have it written somewhere.
Then do the same for the Pokemon you want to swap it with. I'll use Bulbasaur(1). That gives me 50FBC4.
Then copy the address from the first Pokemon, and paste the offset into the second Pokemon's SampleOffset Box. So I paste Bulbasaur's address over Charmander's address. And click Repoint.
I then do the same thing for the other Pokemon, in my case Bulbasaur.
Then you've swapped their cries.

How do I check a byte and how do I replace the opcodes

[jamieboy30]

Hey, I need an answer to this... what pokemon do you suggest i replace to add:
-Palkia
-Dialga
-Darkrai
-Shaymin
-all d/p starters +evo's

I know how to replace them, it's just that I need a decent opinion on what pokemon to replace. Thanks :)

[Cy-Chan]

Well, there are 25 free slots, if you haven't used them already. There's a fairly good guide up on PHO on how to use them.

If you've already used the slots, I suggest anything from the following list:
Venonat Line (2); Farfetch'd; Doduo Line (2); Drowzee Line (2); Sentret Line (2); Hoothoot Line (2); Ledyba Line (2); Spinarak Line (2); Hoppip Line (3); Sunkern Line (2); Snubbull Line (2); Slugma Line (2); Corsola; Stantler; Seedot Line (3); Azurill; Plusle; Minun; Wingull Line (2); Surskit Line (2); Barboach Line (2); Clamperl Line (3); Shuppet Line (2); Volbeat; Illumise

Some of the more forgettable things... there's also stuff like Mawile, Girafarig, Qwilfish, Grimer's Line, Psyduck's Line; all fairly terrible and forgettable.

[heatransoul]

I am making a GSC Remake on Pokemon Emerald, and I have a couple of problems...
1. How do you change the titlescreen to something else in Emerald (Ho-Oh, Lugia, Suicune eg.)
2. For some reason, I cant open up Emerald in unLZ-GBA. Any solution?
3. How do you make it so you start somewhere besides the truck? Because when I get out, since I took out the truck script, I am stuck in the border block area of the entrance to the Safari Zone... (Should I just remake the room that you start in as the truck and simply have a warp going down stairs?)
4. Is there a PokePic-like tool for Emerald? Because some of the sprites I want to revamp and others I want to add...
5. How do you change the intro (Where Prof. Birch is, and where you choose your gender and name)?
6. Is there an IconEd tool for Emerald?

Thanks to anyone who answers any of my questions!

[IIMarckus]

How do I check a byte and how do I replace the opcodesOpen up the ROM in your favorite hex editor (I use Windhex). To help you get started, I'll show you the location of one ASM string: at offset 5FB1. When you start a new game, this ASM string gets run during Oak's speech.

I've attached a list of ASM opcodes to this post. It's probably got a few errors, but for the most part it's correct. If you need to know what an opcode does, check out this list (http://www.devrs.com/gb/files/GBCPU_Instr.html).

A register is essentially a storage place inside the Game Boy that stores a value of one byte. Some can be paired to hold two bytes. The most prominent registers in the Game Boy CPU are a, b, c, d, e, f, h, and l -- they can be paired as af, bc, de, and hl. Note that a (also known as the accumulator) is the most versatile of these registers, f is the least (you can't change its values directly), and all the others are about equal.


Okay, let's get going. At 5FB1, you'll see this in your hex editor:
http://i262.photobucket.com/albums/ii89/iimarckus/1255A0/asm001.png

Let's start with the first byte. According to asmopcodes.txt (attached to this post), 11 YY XX means "load the next two values into de." So our first opcode is
ld de,$002B
The next one is CD. According to our list, CD means "call the ASM function starting at this location, and then return."
ld de,$002B
call $3D98
There are two ways to figure out what a function does. The first way would be to go to offset 3D98 and start disassembling there, but if this happens you might spend all day disassembling something that started with one function call (I've done this more than once!). The second way would be to blank out the call and determine what doesn't happen. So let's replace the CD 98 3D with 00 00 00 (3 NOPs, or "no operation"s). Save the ROM in your hex editor and load it in VBA. When you start a new game and listen to Oak's speech, what's different?





If you noticed there was no music, that's great! We can assume that the function at offset 3D98 starts playing music, but it needs more testing. How can we change what music is being played? Generally, we would change what data is loaded into registers before the function is called. Replace the original code with
ld de,$0011
call $3D98

Did the music change? Then you've made your first ASM hack -- changing the music during Oak's speech! What's more, we've learned how to play music in ASM. If you know the location of some ASM for a specific point in the game, you can just load de with the song number and call $3D98 to play it!

Keep disassembling at that location. See if you can figure out what functions print text and play Pokemon cries. See if you can figure out how to display a Pokemon picture (it doesn't use a function!).

1. When making a script to make it permenent change in the ROM you have to hit compile, (if you are using XSE its the two little gears).

2. There is a program called Advance Starter in the Toolbox, go find it.

3. To change the title screen you will need UNLZ.GBA, APE, and a tutorial. The two tools are in the Toolbox section and the Tutorial is in the Tutorials section.

4. There is a program called OW Editor Rebirth Edition(thats what i use there are others that are possible better) it is also in the Toolbox.

Next time before asking a question search the threads. All this has probably been stated before. And work on your grammar too.

[Eletj]

I've been having problems with inserting Sprites using Destinyjagold's tutorial, and instead of showing the sprite in oddish's place, it shows Oddish with Giratina's Pallette. Also, when I go to battle it (wild battle) and the screen goes black. Any ideads??? Thank you in advance.

1. Well when you open Lunar IPS, click the create patch button then follow the onscreen directions

2. You are gonna have to re-phrase number two because i cant read that garbbled mess. I will try my best to answer this, you have to open advance map, highlight the Legendary poke you want to change, and on the side panel change the sprite pic to the desired pic, if you want to add a legendary that isnt in the game you will have to find the OW and insert it. And to change the poke you battle you have to open the script and modify it to match the desired pokemon battle.

3. You edit the intro the same way you edit the title screen, with Unlz.gba and APE

Well some say firered is easier because it is newer among other reasons, and i would do mapping first, then do scripting, then finish with Sprites. Because with mapping done it makes it easier to tell where to put the desired scripts and sprites

All you have to do is open an OW editor and replace all the hero sprites with the wally sprites, though you may need to make some more wally sprites, with the fishing rod and surfing as well...and with that there is also alot more to be done

2 & 3) Tile Layer Pro is a good tile editor for ROMs made for various systems, it can edit everything you should/could be editing that's uncompressed, just read the help file that accompanies it. But if it's the interface you don't like/can't work well with, you should just try as many Tile Editors as possible and see what works best for you.

4) I posted the tiles offset and arrangement offset further back in this thread if you just want to look around.

You could use a hex editor, but it's a little faster to just use pokecry. Pokecry allows you to repoint cries. Open up Pokecry.
Then in the PokeID, type in the number of the Pokemon you want to replace. I'll use the example of Charmander(4). Then click Encode. For me, 513038 comes up in the SampleOffset box. Paste that into notepad just so you have it written somewhere.
Then do the same for the Pokemon you want to swap it with. I'll use Bulbasaur(1). That gives me 50FBC4.
Then copy the address from the first Pokemon, and paste the offset into the second Pokemon's SampleOffset Box. So I paste Bulbasaur's address over Charmander's address. And click Repoint.
I then do the same thing for the other Pokemon, in my case Bulbasaur.
Then you've swapped their cries.

thanks, but, they seem to be a bit hard-headed and won't swap their cries... :\
I guess hex's the only way.
could you teach me how to swap their cries with a hex editor, thethethethe? or anyone?

Well okay. Use the same process to find the pointers. Using Pokecry.
These were the cries pointers I had before.
50FBC4 'Bulbasaur
513038 'Charmander
So Open up your hex editor. The first pointer is this 0850FBC4 (08 means the rom data). So we reverse it to get C4 FB 50 08
More info on reversing it.
0850FBC4
| | | |
| | | ---------- C4
| | ------------- FB
| --------------- 50
------------------ 08
So we read that top bottom, and get C4FB5008.
Then search for the reversed value in your hex editor.
Then overwrite it with the value of the swapped cry reversed.
So I'd overwrite C4FB5008 with 38305108.
Hopefully that helps.

Its most likly a level script, you prolly changed/got rid of something that was in the original map that a level script used. Sometimes that can cause freezing or glitches. Or the map connections are messed up, or the ROM is bad....

When I redesign the map in Gold to have the routes go in a different direction like in the attached illustration is it better use a hex editor first then GoldMap or GoldMap first then a hex editor.

Okay, here are my new questions:
1. Okay, whenever I try to start Cyclone or AGPIX, I get this message:
System Error &H80070485 (-2147023739). One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found.
I am using a Windows 98.
However, whenver I run it on Vista, it works! Whenever I start AGPIX on Vista, is says, MSCOMCT2.OCX is missing. But it's in the folder!
2. Whenever I try to start the tile molester alternative, I get a message saying I need some Java thing on my computer! How do I fix this?
3. What are the numbers for tilesets 2,3,4,... (for GS) in TLP
4. What's the number for "Red Version" in the titlescreen (in Red!) in TLP?

I know I already asked a few of those questions, but they never got answered! Thanks!

1. Go to google and type in the .OCX file and the first webpage brought up will tell you how to solve it(i did that today but i was searching on the COMDLG32.OCX, also needed to run Cyclone.)

2. Go to Javas website and download the latest Java app thing( i dont know what java calls themselves) and i could help if you be more specific on what java thing you need so you dont go downloading stuff.

3 - 4. I dont know to much about GSC and first gen hacking sorry

If you edit a trainer, and battle them they give you $0.

How do i fix this?

[IIMarckus]

When I redesign the map in Gold to have the routes go in a different direction like in the attached illustration is it better use a hex editor first then GoldMap or GoldMap first then a hex editor.I guess it depends on exactly what changes you're making. Personally, I would recommend doing general editing of mapheaders and/or repointing maps before using any map editor, and only start using Goldmap/Megamap once you're pretty much done with that.

Hi in advanced map when i want to put wild pokemon in it comes up with 12 and i only want like 1 to 4. and when i start the game to test it out there's questions pokemon in the wild and not the pokemon i want and also i have tried the lvl thing with 1 to 1 i put it 0 to 0.

Ok, I've been having a bit of a problem. I've been wanting to put in a custom trainer in place of Giovanni in Pokemon Fire Red using UNLZ.GBA, using the same palatte as Koga. However, even when I put in the palatte offset for Koga, it's still a bunch of random colors due to a crappy palatte. :|

So, my question is, how do I get my trainer to get the color palatte I want (Koga's)?

Well lets say you want 4 pokes in one route, but there are 12 slots, and i want a pikachu, rattata, pidgy, and a charmander.

Instead of entering them like this in AMap:
pikachu
rattata
pidgy
charmander
unk
unk
unk
unk
unk
unk
unk
unk

you would add them like this:

pikachu
pikachu
pikachu
pikachu
rattata
rattata
rattata
rattata
pidgy
pidgy
pidgy
pidgy
charmander
charmander
charmander
charmander

that way you can have only four pokes, and you dont have to worry about the "?" things.

Does that make since?

You must actually change the pallette using Advanced Palette Editor. Remember offset of Giovanni's palette, then type it into APE. Change it to your likings and save.

Here is a question I haven't seen anywhere on PC...

Is there a way I can make Deoxys Change, into any form I want, like on Diamond and Pearl, only can I do this on Pokemon FireRed Version. (I want to be able to have Deoxys change from it's attack mode [firered only] to speed, normal, or defense, at the players will! Can anyone explain this for me?

Ok, I got the Palettes to work, but i'm having another problem. This has probably been posted before, but whenever I go to UNLZ.gba to replace a trainer, occasionally, it says that the compressed size is too big, and it's aborting.

Any idea how to fix this?

@rikuthemaster
make the trainer your gonna use as the replacement smaller or u can uncheck the abort if bigger option which may cause some bugs and glitches in the game

Hm, I want to add a new Overworld to Fire Red (using Darthatron's tutorial). If I create a new entry that points to an already used sprite (say Zapdos or something) it works fine, but when I point to my new sprite, it shows a Missingno. instead.

I have what's probably a really simple question. In Advance Map, I'm trying to make the ice that you slide right across (like in the cave before Blackthorn City in Gen 2), but I don't know how. Does it involve the Movement Permissions?

i am not quite sure about this but i think it only involves the Behavior byte of the Ice tile you are using. Either that you a level script, try to find a map that uses slding ice tiles that is already in FR/LG or R/S/E. And check the beavior bytes of the tiles and the Level scripts

It seems I got flooded out... I'll ask again...

Is there a way to be able to change Deoxys mid-game. (Switching between Attack form, Defense form, Speed form, and Normal form) You can do it is Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, is there a way I could do this on Pokemon FireRed version too?

You can do it with ASM. However, you'll need to add the three other Deoxys, since FireRed only has the attack form.

I've seen multi-choice messageboxes mentioned in only one place and that's thex4's scripting tut, but it didn't say how to do it, so my question is: is it possible to/how do you make scripts involving a messagebox where you have the option of answering out of a choice of options - not yes and no but something like:

"Hello, where would you like to go?"

*Pallet town
*Pewter city
*Celadon city
*Cinnabar island

And you choose one, thus setting a number 0-3 to LASTRESULT depending on your answer.

Is this possible and if so, how? Thanks a lot.

[IIMarckus]

I'm looking for a wild pokemon editor for Pokemon Crystal, does anyone know where I can find it?Crysmap might be able to do that, I don't quite remember.

You can also edit them in hex. 02A5E9 (in Crystal) 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.

For two, you'd need to repoint all of the attack information. Then just append a new attack onto the end of the current data.

It's a pain in the ass to repoint though; so many pointers... I tried, but it screwed everything up. You should just replace all the awful moves, like I did (y'know, stuff like Wrap, Bubble, Mega Kick, Sky Attack... there's loads of horrible moves).

I've asked before, but how do create new item/ability/attack effects (mostly want to know about items). I know berries in particular have two bytes in their item data (byte 18 and 19) that tell them what effect they have.

you have to hit compile(the gears) and saving it only keeps a record of the script as an .rbc file so you can view it later. And XSE is a script editor not a text editor

Hmm, I looked, and I saw a few, but they were either for Ruby version, or it was something you do in MS Paint, and it had no ROM hacking value at all. What I read in there was that it couldn't be done, and I don't believe outdated TUTS, if you could link me to a TUT with the unLZ.gba number for the Kanto mainland map tilemap, that would be great. Or if you could just tell me it, that would work too. All help is apreciated, thank you. (

I'm pretty sure that if you use Item Editor, there's quite a lot of free spaces for new items, but creating new effects entirely, I don't know.
I'd also like to know how you add new abilities/attacks/types, as well as effects, without overriding old ones.

Well it can be a sorta complicated process but here goes, first you must obtain the D/P/P sprite you want to insert. Then you must resize to the allowed size for GBA pokes(i think its 64x64 but i am not entirly sure), then you must index the sprite in 16 colors, then open UNLZ.gba and locate the 25 empty slots, do the importing and exporting procedure, open the rom to check to see if the sprite are done well. That is basicly the concept in a nutshell go to the Tuts section for more info as there are one or two on sprite inserting.

Well you can remove the pointers a person has, so yeah you can remove a pointer to a script in hex. Pointers are usually 3-bytes in Advance Generation games. So an example would be 124567, you would have to search for 674512, just flip the first and last two values around.

Hey, got another question, this time regarding overworld editor RE and inserting sprites over a deoxys sprite in FR. Basically, I get a darkrai OW sprite, index it, and scale it down to size, then insert it over the deoxys form i don't want to use, problem is that when i do that the palette goes all weird, so I inserted the palette of darkrai along with the sprite, now every single other OW sprite that uses that specific palette goes messed up, including the other forms of deoxys, and the hero. Help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Okey dokey, here's what you do.
First of all, you definetly shouldn't have inserted Darkrai's pallete, but you can fix that. All you have to do is find the old pallete in a different Fire Red ROM, export one of the images that use that pallete, and insert it back over where the Deoxys was, and then that will be fixed up.

Now, to insert it in rightly, you need to use and existing pallete in the game to re-color it. Search through a few until you find some with the right colors. Then, open up the original Darkrai in paint, zoom in atleast 600%, and then use that as a guide to re-color it. Remember, you won't get the EXACT colors, but you can come really close, but if i remember correctly, when I put a Darkrai in, it looked a bit lighter than it should've, but it still looks cool. I would start with the outline and then work inwards.

But when I went to it in the acutal game (VBA), it's invisible. And there is no way that I can find to make it reappear. It's there though, cause you can't move on the spot. Can someone help me?

lemme think of some possibilities...
1. is it hidden?
2. is the map having a level script that hides that overworld's person number?
3. er, is it hidden behind the tiles it''s suppose to be standing at?
4. try to change one of the people there with the new overworld you added...
5. (save back-up first)try deleting the level script?

1. No.
2. No level scripts.
3. No, unless grass can hide people.
4. Still invisible...
5. No level script to delete.

Thanks for your help though, I just can't figure out why it would happen, unless Overworld Changer doesn't work in general, but some of my friends had it work easily, and said they never had this problem. I used it again on a different OW and inserted a new one, and it still was invisible.

First Question:
Yeah, me and my step brother Agent Q Got into hacking pokemon fire red, and we were doing pretty good until we put in a trainer into our game. Now we did this with Trainer Editor. It suddenly made us surf on the first floor of every building, and viridian forest.

Second Question:
Uh, we also downloaded PoketScript, but I read tutorials on compiling and I need some PokemnADV or something like that. Anyone know a download site, or can upload it so I can download it?

Sorry to bother with the questions..

[0m3GA AR$3NAL]

I have been looking all over this site, and I have yet to find the unLZ.gba number for pokemon Firered's Kanto mainland tilemap. (not the Tiles themselves, but the GFX version of the thing that tells the tiles what order to be in) I need this number for my hack, I need to replace it, with the one I made. Can anyone help me?

[Blazichu]

what I mean was this... :\
http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/hex.png
I was wondering if I can erase those so I can use those offsets once again. :\
thanks~

Well if you have data there you cannot use the same offset twice....if that is what you mean. If not, then you can remove the scripts from the offset by placing [FF] codes so that it becomes blank space.

1. Sounds like a glitch, you might need a new ROM. Also adding in trainers can be done with scripting.

2. This isn't a tool request thread. Search the Toolbox.

i know this has probably been asked at least 500 times, and i'm sure you're sick of people asking,

but where do i start?

i've never hacked before, and i don't know what tools i'll need.

or if you could point me to a thread that'll tell me that would be fantastic..

Well the best place to start is the Tools Section and the Tutorials section. For a map editor you will need Advance Map, second you will need a script editor, fo that try XSE. and if you get far enough to insert sprites then try UNLZ.GBA. Then for OW sprites try OW editor rebirth edition.

That should be enough to get you started. Remember if you cant find some of the tools in those sections try google.

check the behavior bytes on the tiles, some may be set to no running(like the grass below foretree)

[megiddo]

I've checked them. They're all 0. Even indoor tiles are set to normal. I checked level scripts as well. Maybe something under the professional view in amap?

You prolly changed the tileset in Route 1 and Pallete Town. If they dont have the same tileset then when entering Route 1 and seeing the tiles that arent in Pallete Towns tilesets causes the game to change the tiles.

hello for some reason if I go to a certain area in the game It makes the game restarts. It does this in a couple places in the game. So why does it do this.

I am using a fire red rom.

[nemesish]

kind of an odd question but...

I have added pokemon on FR on the 25 free spaces.
As afr as i know they can´t be openly caught on the wild since they dont have pokedex data, and when tey are caught the game would freeze.
I have been testing these pokes yesterday and when i caught one (in this case Shaymin) the game said "Shaymin´s data now will be added to the poke dex". Frankly I was waiting for the game to crash, but... it skipped the dex and go the screen where Shaymin appears and the game tells me to give it a nickname.

This happened with every poke i added to the 25 spaces (M´-Arceus-Dialga-Palkia-etc.)

Is this common? I haven´t unabled the dex, so this bugs me a little.

Well just make the pokedex data and see if it still works. This isnt really a problem. Just be sure to make a backup.

Well....

my brother was telling me to do a Deep Search for the Pokemon Emerald Rom in the UNLZ- GBA.

Now i cannot undo the deep search... all the pictures are srewed up...

how do i undo the deep search and make the pictures back to normal?

Here is what it looks like:

http://i35.tinypic.com/357hj4i.jpg

One more thing...

How do you use all 25 spaces in your Emerald Rom for other pokemon? I have seen people do it with their FR and LG roms...so is there a way with emerald?

[X-Buster]

to undo Deep scan function, go to the directory same as the location of your ROM then Delete the files named "FILENAME.gba.pal" and FILENAME.gba.spr

...If i'm posting in the wrong spot let me know @_@

Anyway, i was wondering how you can make cutable trees,

i'm using A-map 1.92 and XSE

Help will be appreciated ^^

[Zephiel]

Okay, long story cut short.

A friend of mine edited the sprites of trainers for me with unLZ. But when I went through the game, a single sprite occupied not only one trainer, but two. I went to change that and found that several of the sprites had this problem. I tried changing it using a tutorial I found on Youtube but it didn't work, all I get is this big black box. What am I doing wrong?

Also, I can't seem to find some sprites in the coding. Through editing fire red I can't find misty, erika, Sabrina, or Blaine. This is odd because the sprites for these were occupying more than one sprite or were being occupied by another sprite. The one that I cannot find AT ALL is Erika, which was being occupied by Giovanni. The others are occupying other sprites; Misty -> Lance, Sabrina -> Bruno, Blaine -> Cue Ball. However, there is only ONE of this sprite in the coding; IE there isn't one for Sabrina and one for Bruno; One for lance and one for misty. I have no idea what the problem is. Someone help?

BAsicly in the game you are using just search through the maps for the trees, rocks, boulders and ect. and just take the offsets from there and put them on the rock, tree you made. The trees and stuff are in the sprite pics, so you will have to make a people event with the desired pic and jus tput the offset there.

Make sure the sprites you are replacing are indexed and have a maximum of 16 colours first.

Acutally, PET's Revenge is just an upgrade to PET, but just like PET, it only lets you change the attacks of Gym Leaders and Elite Four Members (and maybe rival battles, I'm not sure). So, the Pokemon would know the attacks that they would have if they were that level (use a program like YAPE or PEP to change those).

[Neilex]

This is probably a stupid question but hey, I don't know these things very well.

How do you make it so that 2-3gen pokemon can evolve without the nat. dex

have you ever gave thought of what's the purpose of the search button in A-Text?
It is for all users to search for texts in the game.
There are tutorials in the Documents and Tutorials, e.g., my tutorial(which is now locked) on how to search for texts in the game with A-Text.

I was wondering, how can I change a pokemon's natural moveset? I'd prefer a method that doesn't involve HEX-editing if possible. I'm only asking because I just need to give one of the players starters (Abra) a move that can actually make training possible.

Edit: And yes, I have already searched. Here and on Google. The prior gave me nothing relevent and the latter gave me ARMax codes.

How do I edit mapheader, and repoint maps?

Map Headers can be found around 0x94121 and the pointers are around 0x940ED, so you just need to change the pointer and direct it to the new location of the data, make sure it is in the correct bank also. Also make sure that bank has a lot of blank space.

hm... well... :\
OWC -OverWorld Changer- 'ruins' your overworld which has movement sprites. :\

That tool's only great for OverWorlds which has no movement sprites, e.g. some legendary sprites in R/S...

your best bet is to rely on Darthatron(sp?)'s tutorial.

About DP offset... Yeah, But what do you want offset to? I mean I could just write 0x784A5 and give it to you any say i just made it up, but it's still a dp offset... Please tell me what you wanna edit... About the Overworld... I never used the tool but I'll gues you could do that...

I don't think you can actually have an offset for that script. You can edit what he says, but I don't think you can edit anything else (except for sprites). I don't think you can remove the option of choosing a gender.

Thanks for the response Cell, but the script is in the game and, therefore it must have an offset. Has anyone else got any ideas.

I am a little confused by definition what is a mapheader and a pointer.

[IIMarckus]

I am a little confused by definition what is a mapheader and a pointer.A pointer is a numerical reference to data or a piece of code. It's similar to an offset, but not completely. The most common pointer in GBC games is the two-byte pointer, which points to within the bank if it's between 4000 and 7FFF inclusive. E.g.:

At offset 0x123964-123965 (hypothetically), we have two bytes, 0x00 and 0x52. The Game Boy uses little-endian values, so they become 5200. Since this is between 4000 and 7FFF, it most likely points to within this bank (a bank is 0x4000 bytes). Now do this:

[(<offset> / 0x4000 * 0x4000) + (<pointer> - 4000)] (assuming you're doing integer division, Windows calculator does by default when working with hexadecimal values)

This results in an offset of 0x121200. The pointer leads to offset 0x121200.


Three-byte pointers are a little less common, since they can't be used inline with ASM. Three-byte pointers include the bank number plus a two-byte pointer. So if we have a pointer of 0x335972, it means "location 3259 in bank 33":

[(<bank> * 0x4000) + (<pointer> - 4000)]

Thus, the pointer points to offset 0x0CF259.


To calculate a pointer to a given offset is simple: take the offset (say, 0x135276), modulus divide by 4000 (modulus division gives the remainder instead of the quotient, and is usually the "MOD" or "%" key on a calculator), add 0x4000 (this is an edit, I left this out!) and switch bytes to get the two-byte pointer. Then take the original offset and divide by 0x4000 to get your bank number, if needed.

I'm not sure if it got one for itelf...Asm... So try DeAsseblem the intro, or reverse the offset to the text and seach trough the hex editor... Realy, I can't help you at this point...'

[thethethethe]

Hmmm, good point. If it's not using the scripting engine, does anyone have any other ideas what engine it may be using of where the data can be found?
Well, it obviously doesn't use the scripting engine of the rom, and is created through ASM. I'd recommend you just make both the boy and girl option into two different characters. Like making both Boy/Girl, two different people of the same gender. It would be much easier than redoing the whole beginning of the intro.

It wouldn't cause any problems later along the line, if you can get it to work in the first place. And finding it only takes about two minutes, it's actually rewriting over the ASM is the hard part. Even, here, I'll save you some time, here's a location that's part of the routine, 0x12f8c0. I didn't search too hard for the beginning of the routine, but its somewhere before that point.

But also how can I customize the title screen on pokemon fire red. Like changing the words and background and pokemon.

Plus in Advance Text I had a clean rom but it won't read some parts of the rom. And I've had it for awhile now. But now it's acting up
So then I downloaded a clean rom same site as before. And still it won't read some parts of that rom.

For some reason, I can't compile any script.
It looks as if it has compiled, but when I check the offset nothing has changed...

Hi. Sorry if these questions have already been asked, except searching for some reason doesn't like my computer/my computer doesn't like search.
I have a few simple questions for now.
1.Some G/S/C Hacking tools always come up with the "Run Time Error 6, Overflow".
Is there any way I can fix it?
2.Where can I find a Hex Document/Tutorial for TOWN/WORLD Map editing in GSC, both editing the look of the map and the data (especially the Data).?
3.Does anyone know the offset for Pokedex editing in Gold/Silver/Crystal? Even better would be a tool.
4.Anyone know where i can find an agixp Tutorial?
5.How do i convert .TXT to .TPL (tile layer pro palette file)
6.If no one can Answer question one, I'd like to know where a working copy is of Pokemon Amplifier for G/S/C.
7.A Tutorial for s_ed (Music Editor in G/S/C)

I Could Spend An hour looking through google for each one of these tools, or i Could see if anyone here knows, so i chose option 2 first. Most Tools/tutorials here are for 3rd Gen anyway, and i'm a 2nd Gen N00b Hacker. :)

1.Some G/S/C Hacking tools always come up with the "Run Time Error 6, Overflow".
Is there any way I can fix it?If you don't have the source code to the programs, probably not.2.Where can I find a Hex Document/Tutorial for TOWN/WORLD Map editing in GSC, both editing the look of the map and the data (especially the Data).?The offset of Johto's map is 091F52, and Kanto's is 0920BB. Each byte represents one tile, and the order goes left-right -> top-bottom. Note that the first two rows of the map are obscured in the Pokedex view, and the top three rows are covered in the Pokegear.

I don't know the coordinate data offhand.3.Does anyone know the offset for Pokedex editing in Gold/Silver/Crystal?1A00004.Anyone know where i can find an agixp Tutorial?Blazichu had one in the docs/tutorials section.5.How do i convert .TXT to .TPL (tile layer pro palette file)Rename the file.
