Hi! I don't knowe if this was answered?...but...kkkkkhow do you make a blackout script?
(I know this should go to help script thread...)

[Time]

Elow pipz...
I got a question here, which is really annoying... -__-

Why can't I use some of the hacking tools to work with my computer while I can use them in other computers?
Is it because of the fact that I have a Windows XP Home Edition? :\

thankies in advance~

well you could be more specific one what tools they are and what the OS on the other Comp is. I use both Win XP Home and Pro and they work fine, but some of my tools dont work on a Mac....

What do you mean by a black out script? Fadescreen 1 fades the screen to black.

You're probably missing dependancies (.ocx, .dll files) on your XP Home Edition.

I've got a major problem here...

When I edit the map of Route 111 in Emerald and then load the game, it sometimes shows up uneditted.
I know you cant be in the same map you're editting, but thats not the case.
It's kinda hard to explain...

Say, I save in the Trainer Hill tower thingy, then edit Route 111, then load the rom and exit the building, it randomly shows the origional uneditted route 111.
But sometimes it will show the editted version, its all very weird!

And another problem, if I make the map larger, the character sometimes gets stuck at the point at which Mauville city connects to route 111.

Any1 know any answers? Please?

[現実として巨大なもの]

just had a thought. Is the titlescreen the only compressed thing in gold?

[Daniel A.]

Well when I open my ROM and I try to edit someone using PET, it doesn't show any pictures and something pop's up that says

Run Time Error '76'

Path not found: 'pics/pkmn-060.bmp

Then it closes the window...
What should I do? I really need to edit it..I just want to change his onix to a steelix..@_@

If that is all there is a tutorial on changing the trainer using hex so you can look that up in the document and tutorials section. It'll only take a bit more time but if its that one thing then...

Yea, I had he same problem, just download .NET Framework, 2.0 should work but I recommend 3.0(Google .NET Framework download)

[Haowakeorden]

Could someone give a link where I download the Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal editor "Hack-o-Matic"? I can't find it anywhere.

I remember the good ol atari hacking days but there is a program called "bit hacker" now on the same site as the link above that will own the HOM. The link above is to a thread that allows a download of the improved v2 of HOM allowing it to work on more OS than just the normal windows OS.

Wait! This should do you justice so go to this site instead, its completely dedicated to HOM 2 (http://www.dacodez.tk/d/?c=1&t=hack-o-matic+executable+site+defunct+source+really+better+everyone+download+in-joke+version+channel+thanks+incase+email+never+only+tell+2600+page&d=2172037&i=66.249.73.242&y=0)

The Pokemon Gold "Hack-o-Matic" is a completely different program, which I've attached to this post.

[現実として巨大なもの]

the atari one was the only one RAM Corp's ever heard of or used so I didn't know a gs one existed.

What specific comprssed pictures or scripts and such can anyone please name within gold, silver, or crystal? a link or list would be very helpful.

----------------------------------------------------------> advanced thanx!

I tried everything to find PokeScript! But I couldn't find it... I need only PokeScript, because I've found PokeAdv.

[IIMarckus]

What usually causes the ROM to crash?
The tiles, scripts..?

thankies so much.
some tools are working now. :D

well, everything we do which is related to ROM hacking will always cause the ROM to crash...
for my experience, using the already used offsets are causing the game to glitch up and crash...

so it's always safe to use a hex editor to find free space for our sprites, tiles, map changes, scripts and the like. ;)


edit:
anyways, I got a question here... :\
are there any flags that sets the fly positions in Ruby?

[Hiche]

oh, ok. Thanks Time
but for example, I did a very long script, and compiled it to a fire red rom( which has modified and new tiles)
The rom crashed.
But when I compiled the same script, in an original rom(no new tiles)
the script worked perfectly.
Can this be fixed?

I've got some time on my hands.

Dump the Pokemon images and the Trainer Images using RS Ball. The old version relies on dumped images.

But if you look in the toolbox here at PC, you'll find a later version of it, that will load the rom without dumped images.

Do you mean the flags that set whether the player can fly there or not?
Here's those flags. Just are just normal flags.

No those are flags that are normally in level scripts that activate whether an area can be flown to.
This really should have been in the script help thread... :P
What you're looking for is something else. You're looking for command 0x9F, which sets where the player goes after fainting.
It's basically works like this [9F] [XX] [00].
So #raw 0x9F 0xXX 0x00 will activate.
XX is controlled by there.

0x14 = Ever Grande PC, before League

... And that's all, I think. Apparently there's no 0xC and
0xD.


Now, I have a problem of my own. When I edit the
worldmaptiles and raw via UNLZ, I get the correct layout,
but absolutely the wrong palette. Left is how it should be,
right is how it ends up. I DO export the palette... Anyone
know how it can be fixed?

[Darthatron]

My bet would be that you didn't select the palette when you drew the tilemap. (You have to redo it with the right palette selected.)

[Larsie13]

Okay, but how will I know which tile needs which palette? And I use NTME, and you can't change the palette of a single tile there, only for the entire tilemap.

[Darthatron]

Really? But in the engine version I wrote for it, you could change each tile... D:

Anyway, you only need to change them all, so just change all to whatever the original palette was.

[Larsie13]

Yeah, well... in 4BPP mode, you can change the palette for each tile, but in 8BPP mode, you can't. And you mean the palette from VBA's Map Viewer? If so, it says the entire map has palette ---

I have a hopefully simple question.

I've inserted all the FireRed tiles into Emerald. It's working fine, but now my water tiles (and a few others) have no animation. How do you set a tile to have animation (and edit it)?

Or is there perhaps a Emerald with FR tiles rombase?

[Daniel A.]

Hi um..

How do you add ini files to a Pokemon Emerald ROM. I have the INI file in a pokemon emerald folder, with the game. How can I put them together so I can use advanced text and have it completely done..

Thanks..

[Presents]

Ok, I have a scripting question.

Why is it, when I want to move a character with the Applymovement script, I have to have full view of the character in-game for it to move?

If I cant see the character, the applymovement wont work for it. Can someone help me fix this?

You have to use Tile Molester, TMP or something like that. Read Thethethethe's tutorial on grass animation, it's the same for water animations I believe.

Now I have a question: Does anybody have the offset for a Ruby titlecreen palette? I have searched every way I know how to, and can't seem to find it. Thanks~

I do't think you understand what .ini files are for. These work with a program. You don't add them to a ROM.
I think in A-text, there's a folder named ini. Paste the BPEE.ini file into that folder and a-text will work with Emerald.

I understand the steps... but I don't how to make the tile have animation in the first place. How do you apply animation to a tile that orginally didn't have animation?

I don't take any offence, I just wonder how I didn't find it. Mind telling me how you found it?

Also, how do you remove the bubbles from the titlescreen?

[thethethethe]

I don't take any offence, I just wonder how I didn't find it. Mind telling me how you found it?

The way I find any palette. Open up the map viewer in VBA which tells you what palette is used for an image. Then open the palette viewer and take down the values shown for the palette. And search for them in a hex editor.

[garra911]

this really isnt a simple question, its actually quite difficult; how would i go about indexing this picture (first attached pic) to make it able to be used in the oak intro screen, but! i want to be able to change the palette later (such as changing his shorts color) is it impossible?

ive already tries once by resizing the pic to 64x96, bringing it to 16-bit color, and inporting the palette of the original trainer, which made this (second attached pic), i knew it didnt look right i imported it on unlz and it looked like crap so...i tried following zel's tutorial, but it ended up looking like someone ate the picture, screwed up all the colors and pooped it out, so any help at all!!

How can I edit the start-screen of emerald? (You know, a flashing Rayquaza is showing on the start-screen)

Any1 know any answers? Please?
The first one I have no idea about. The second is a map connection problem and the third requires you to edit it using UNLZ and a tile map editor. Look for a tutorial on editing the FR/LG title screen the method should be similar.

You have to make sure the first colour for pallete is the colour you want to be transparent (ie the background). When inserting it you have to change the pallete by finding it in VBA's pallete viewer then editing it using APE. Look for a tutorial on pallete editing. You can't insert the pallete with UNLZ.

[~Satoshi Sugimori~]

Don't know if this also gets accepted as a simple question in my opinion it does...
But this is my question does anyone know a really great rom base for me to make maps on? if yes please PM so we don't spam this thread with all kinds of answers that can be sent by PM... Ooh and I mean no ROM Bases from the recources thread cuz they don't fit my mapping style...

I too am also having this problem, though it only seems to be route 111, i made it mountainous and got rid of the trainer hill and revamped the Desert and added a cave. But if i enter 111 through the cave enterance it is sometimes stays but if i enter from the mauville location it shows the route if it wasnt editied. Maybe it is an Advance Map problem. And now that i know its not just me i may have to contact Lu-Oh about this...

Have you tried deleting/removing the level script? Sometimes the level script conflicts with the level header, changing the map a bit. also able to cause freezing of the game.
Check the level scripts, ans see which one would need deleting, if not all of them.

[Daniel A.]

I'm a new scripter and I was wondering why I can't press compile script.. I saved it as an .rbc

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/bluemickeyqt/script.png

that appears on the hack I'm trying to do:


From thethethethe's tutorial..

[~ The Womanizer ~]

Wrong section. Also it's probably because you are using Vista.

[Presents]

That doesn't look like vista, and maybe you have a crappy version of Pokescript, find a new one.

[DARKSHADE]

is there a way to insert pokemon icons correctly
as pokepic only does 1 frame.......
is there a better program but it needs to be over 3 pallettes

If not, download it, and put it in the same folder as pokescript.

It keeps giving me this now when I try and enter the code:

Always press the first one on the list,

[Daniel A.]

I tried but I'm still getting "no script editor defined"

Here is how I do it:

right click on desktop (where the file is)>press compile script>then it pops up as like no editor or something and I click ok>I go to file destination>click my ROM>press that button on the top right hand corner[squareish]>Then another window pops up> I press the sqaureish button>then I click on the first one>it adds the code as $800000>when I right that in advance map, it says no script editor defined.

Here is what I get in the beginning after I press compile script:
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/bluemickeyqt/screenie3.png
is that normal?

Here is what I don't know. Which code do I enter into advance map?
http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm103/bluemickeyqt/screenie2.png

[Hiche]

Daniel A.

In advance map, where there is Open Script, this is for decompiling the script I think.
(you need to choose a script editor, such as XSE or PKSV)
Open your rom and test it.
And when you click on the first offset, press assign, then file->Burn.
Cope the offset into advance map.
Edit: You enter the first code($begin).

[Jerros]

I've got a quick an simple question:

What scripts do I put on a "S" square in advancemap?
A regular script doesnt seem to work:

#org $alreadygotone
message $Text9
$Text9 1 =Texxxttttttt
boxset 6
release
end

those scripts dont work on a "S" square.
What am I doing wrong?

Put the Unknown: 0003
and varnumber: 5040 or 4050.
Try that.

[Daniel A.]

I did that and then I still got the same message. I don't really understand the beginning of what you said. All I did was do these steps:

And when you click on the first offset, press assign, then file->Burn.
Cope the offset into advance map.
Edit: You enter the first code($begin).

My rom, I tested it and it works fine.
I already use Pokescript.


and if that is for decompiling script, what is for compiling?

[Hiche]

You compile a script using Pokescript right?
The open script tab in advance map decompiles the script.
Did you understand this?
Don't use the open script tab.
Listen, post your script in the Script Help Thread.
Maybe there's an error in it.

[Daniel A.]

now I get this:

1.I walk into a door and the game freezes. the screen is black and if I do map connection to get there the game just freezes. No it is not my warps.
I want a way so that that map dosen't get wasted.I don't care if I have to build that map from scatch. And I have tried insert map. At least I would like to be able to delete the map so that it dosn't waste any space.
p.s. the map is viridean forest. rom leaf green1.0. If nothing I will get a working rom and build every thing around viridean forest.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel A use scriptED or xse(I reccomend the second of the two).

[DARKSHADE]

URGENT!!!!!!

In the freqeutly asked questions thread it says this:

3. It is near-impossible to use ALL the pokemon in any hack.
Why? Because the game only has 25 (98 with the advance versions if you know what you're doing) free slots to add more pokemon. More slots require engine-hacking

WHAT IS ENGINE HACKING???????
AND HOW DO I ADD MORE SLOTS????
I NEED FOURTY EIGHT!

PLEASE WILL SOMEONE ANSWER ME?

now I get this:

Why don't you just use a different scripting program? Pokescript's a pain in the butt for noobs.

[Kaizer-X]

now I get this:

maybe you should try XSE. For me Its easier to use and you can edit the scripts using it.

[Daniel A.]

ok I'll try downloading that.

[LU-HO]

I've got two questions:

one
I've got a major problem here...

When I edit the map of Route 111 in Emerald and then load the game, it sometimes shows up uneditted.
I know you cant be in the same map you're editting, but thats not the case.
It's kinda hard to explain...

Say, I save in the Trainer Hill tower thingy, then edit Route 111, then load the rom and exit the building, it randomly shows the origional uneditted route 111.
But sometimes it will show the editted version, its all very weird!

And another problem, if I make the map larger, the character sometimes gets stuck at the point at which Mauville city connects to route 111.

See Answare at bottom of this Post.

I too am also having this problem, though it only seems to be route 111, i made it mountainous and got rid of the trainer hill and revamped the Desert and added a cave. But if i enter 111 through the cave enterance it is sometimes stays but if i enter from the mauville location it shows the route if it wasnt editied. Maybe it is an Advance Map problem. And now that i know its not just me i may have to contact Lu-Oh about this...
See answer in PM (or at bottom, it's the same)

Have you tried deleting/removing the level script? Sometimes the level script conflicts with the level header, changing the map a bit. also able to cause freezing of the game.
Check the level scripts, ans see which one would need deleting, if not all of them.
Yes, this is the thing. There are Maps that exists more than 1 time. It is the same as Miracle island, they will be open on spezial way, if a flag or something is set.

@All who have this Prolem:
Hi

No there is no Error in AdvanceMap.
But this Map exists 2 times.
On is accessible directly in AdvanceMap, the other on is hidden.
the hidden one is on the offset (MapFooter): $470BD8, the normal on $3F8324
This hidden maps are like the miracle island, this appear if something is happen/a Flag is set. (on some Map-Scripts)
On Route 111, there the map will changed from the beginning, you will see the "original" map later in the game.
On this image you will see the difference between the maps:
http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/1710/route111ow8.th.png (http://img55.imageshack.us/my.php?image=route111ow8.png)http://img55.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)

To edit the hidden on you have to do this steps:
1. first export you changed map (as a map file)
2. open the Route 111
3. goto Header view (Professional Header view [Ctrl+H])
4. Change the "Map footer offset:" form $3F8324 to $470BD8
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/1791/changemapfooteroffsetgc2.th.png (http://img65.imageshack.us/my.php?image=changemapfooteroffsetgc2.png)http://img65.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)
5. press the "Save changes and reload map" Button
6. now you can insert the saved map on the hidden one, and it it will work in the ROM

If you make future change on this map, do not forget to switch back to the original offset and make the changes there also.

is there a way to insert pokemon icons correctly
as pokepic only does 1 frame.......
is there a better program but it needs to be over 3 pallettes

I do believe you can import gif files into Pokepic which is obviously the file type of moving sprites like that of emerald and all icons. Then again you can also use IconEd but I don't know how well you will comply with that since I myself never tried out IconEd.

is there such a thing as "showitempic" that would be used like "showpokepic" but show pictures of items (duh) and not pokemon

[Zaptinex]

Say, i know in XSE when you do a movement script as a person event # its 0xFF but what if its a script event? Like your putting a movement script on a tile?

[Thrace]

You could insert the image into one of the 25 empty slots of Pokemon and use showpokepic.

Did it, but as soon as I walk on a "S" tile, the game freezes.
Can you give me an example of a script that makes text appear, or moves characters around when you walk on the "S" tile?

Or is the script not the problem?

Anyway, setting unknown to 0003 and varnumber to 5040 or 4050 doesnt work.
I've tried all fields and every combination :(

This is what I use etc.
First you should dowload Pokescript 1.00 not 1.2! And you also have to download pkmnadv 1.00. Then you should take a look in the documents/tutorials secton and I reccomend thethethethe his scripting tut or/and the one from pokewitch.. and from there you have to do it on your own...

Theres a command called sethealingplace (9F). It must be used in a script. I'm not exactly sure what the numbers are for the different PCs but decompiling scripts of the nurses in PCs should tell you.

To change what Prof. Oak says, use Advance Text.
You go to the Introduction and search for the text Oak is saying.

Hello all!

I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to locate pointers to a specific part of data? i wanted to build a script that would warp what happend in battles, for example to give fire more power in a particuler place but have found that dispite coolboyman's discovery on how to edit types you need to change the pointers direction to custom data if you want to add more modifiers as i do. Also in that thread there are instructions to do so in GBC games but as i am rewriteing Ruby that will be of little help.

Thanks for your time

Its not compressed you have to edit it using a tile editor like TileEd, Tile Molestor etc. It'll be near the bottom.

Uhh, what? I'm not sure what you're talking about. Finding pointers is just searching for the following 08[offset reversed]. For example if the offset was 800000 you would search for 08000080 but you can't find the pointer without knowing when the data whose pointer you are trying to find starts.

[Grinner]

thanks dshayabusa, I do know the data I wanted to find the pointer for, coolboyman was able to find the type's damage modifications and I wanted to be able to repoint the pointer through a script to an edited set of modifications, (for example in a certain area fire might do 10% more damage). That means I could insert in the level script to repoint to my modified info. You seem to know more about it than me, so could I ask if I am going in the right direction if I wanted to do that?

Relative searching is quite simple. It's used to create a table like what IIMarkus mentioned.

I think I were not clear enough. I mean just a picture, but I use Cyclone, and so I call the raw file a tilemap and the picture from where I get the parts for the tilemap I call tileset. So that's what I mean.

Heya all!

This is perhapse not the best place to ask this but I thought you might have some valuable insight, I have recently began looking into much more detailed hacking, and i wanted to make my own items, I have located the field usage offset for repel in ruby and decided to change that since i wanted a field effect rather than a battle effect and it was all set up.

When linking directly to an asm command (with the +1 obviously) then the asm script triggers however it hangs, the text turns red when used and the game effectivly freezes until you press the (b) button. The item is also not delited although the effect occures. That if i am not wrong means that is part of the items script.

Thinking that I used a pointer to a script hopeing to call the asm command and then delite the repel. However when this item is used all it dose is restart the game.

Could anyone tell me if this is futile withought ASM or if i am overlooking something that could be used to rectify the situation? I have looked at other item field data however I could not see any similaritys in the data which could be used to terminate the action.

as I was useing ZodiacDaGreat's asm translated to hex for giveing items to the PC (I know theres a script command to do this) I know it is not the ASM action itself that is at fault.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

It's not in UNlz. You can edi it in tileed2002, tlp, TM.

I have a problem:
I madde a map when the player goes to a mountain(stairs)-one level higher.on the mountair there are little 2 tiles trees.the movement permision on the mountain is 10, the trees permisions are 11. but here is the problem-you can walk behind the tree-the behavior type is the 00 so you can't see yourself-but here you can...what am I doing wrong??

Nope, you did nothing wrong. You can't do that using 10's. What you have to do is make the whole mountain 'C', which can't be done unless you don't want anyone walking on the back part...yea, I would replace the trees with big rocks...its a problem i hate too!

[Thrace]

Wow, thanks a lot for answering my question. I have a simple question:

WHY DO YOU IGNORE MY QUESTION?

Please don't demand for answers.

Have you tested it out yet? When you load a rom for the first time in UNLZ you'll notice that it takes a while. This is because it is searching and recording the location of any compressed data it can find, obviously if you import and image and repoint its not going to show up in UNLZ. For it to show up you need to delete the .spr and .pal files of the rom and reload it in UNLZ, you should be able to see the new tileset.

check your map under the Header tab...
what you should check are the following...
1. Cave
2. Type

in routes, the cave there is 'Regular' while the type is 'Route'...
so if the map is a town, then change the cave into regular and the type to village or city...

Could I make the person visible using showsprite in a script?

If you set the player hidden, he can't be reappeared by a normal Showsprite command. It needs level scripting.
Use flags to make the person disappear then reappear.

Does anyone know the offset of the "Emerald Version"-image in UNLZ? I can't find it. Or do you have to use TileMolester?

It should be 2612 in unLZ. If it isn't, then it's probably somewhere around that number.

Are you drawing in 4bpp or 8bpp mode? Try switching to the one you aren't using...

[Larsie13]

Worldmap is always 8bpp, but if I switch to 4bpp mode, it says that the tilemap has too many tiles.

Crystal’s Ice Path tileset is a significant improvement visually compared to the one in Gold and Silver.

unfortanutely I never took time to enjoy crystal's gfx because I enjoyed the storyline and actually playing much better. Looking through a lot of these tile sets and they don't all have as good improvements but yes, the gfx do dominate g&s.


I only use TLP for gfx so I how do I edit tileset pallettes along with pallettes for, say, everything else gfx wise. I've seen a tut soewhere before but can't finger the name or location so I need help finding it or someone please tell me here.. please?:pirate:

Hi, everyone again.

I was making my game and I noticed something... How can I change the world map? I mean, to put my tileset andn build it on NTME and then insert it to unLZ... the base is Fire Red, so there are 4 maps and I've done all of my maps by my self in a .PNG file.

You'll have to change the palettes in hex, the bytes are shown in the VBA Palette Viewer but are flipped. So flip those bytes around like 4096 will be 9640 when searching in hex.

Umm....with the tileset, you can rip it from VBA (Tools > Tile Viewer, select the second character base and then press save), repoint the data to the Crystal tileset. Change it in GoldMap's Block Editor and then change the permissions of each tile.

[UltimateSephiroth]

This might be a very easy question, but since I just don't seem to solve it, I'd better ask it here. (I tried searching first, with no correct results). I'm hacking an English FireRed rom, FYI.

I found the Nameless Tile Map Editor and decided to change the Tilemap assigned to that 256 color Pokémon logo. I made a new tilemap but seemingly I made it larger than the previous one was - unLZ's saying me that the image is too big. I know that I should repoint the picture and I know where I have free space (268 bytes should fit well into an empty space which is 0x200 in size) - this free space starts at 0x871A23D. The problem is, though, that how do I change this value into the offset unLZ wants me to enter? I tried this myself in two ways:
* In AdvanceMap it seemed that all custom scripts were at $??????, where ?'s are the same that they are in PKSV's 0x8??????. So, I tried just dropping the 0x8 away. The result was that after the Gengar vs. Nidorino video the game hung up.
* My another try was to just drop the 0x away, so I had "871A23D". The result was that the gba file grew from 16MB to 135MB and VBA couldn't play it anymore :D

Yeah, I may be a n00b but at least I have IMO explained my problem well enough. :D

Tried with another location and it worked well :S Well, at least I got over that problem :)
E: Oh, now I see what was the problem. unLZ told me that "268 bytes" and I didn't understand that it was in hex :D

Has this question been answered already?: Found the solution myself

Oh, I didn't notice that it was .OCX... Though they should work IMO similarly, I reckon there was a command line part involved (I think it was something like "regsvr32 (something) comdlg32.ocx"). But in this case I believe now that just copying the file over is the better choice.

[Grinner]

Hello all!

Actualy a simple question this time... Dose anyone know if its possable to use asm to make a 'call script' function in an item?

I have been experementing with item hex editing but due to my abismal ASM skills I havent had a huge sucsess and it would be much easyer for me and likely anyone else who would like to do something like this if it was able to be shunted to a script to manage. I have tried simple pointers to scripts which cause the game to hang and I have also tryed useing script hex commands to program items but every time that happens then the game resets so I assume its not valid. (I know its not permitted to ask for scripts here but if anyone more capable than me could make an ASM script then translate it to hex I would be extreemly gratefull)

Thanks for your time!

I need help on changing the sprites of the 25 "empty slot" Pokémon in a Pokémon Emerald ROM. I was changing one of the Pokémon's "question mark" sprite into the sprite of a Ralts using Pokémon Editor Pro by directly copying the sprite offsets listed for Ralts into the "empty slot" Pokémon's sprite offset boxes. However, when viewed in-game, the "empty slot" Pokémon still appears as a question mark, but coloured differently than before. Are there any tips on what I can do to correctly change an "empty slot" Pokémon's sprite? Thanks.

It means that the palette was changed but not the image. Make sure you copy and paste both in to the correct places.

Sprite offset: D2DBC4
Back sprite: D2DE1C
Norm. Pallette: D2DDF4
Shiny Palette: D2E058
Icon Offset: D2EB60
Icon Palette: Pal 2
They are the same for both Ralts and the "empty slot", but the sprites are still different.

Oh, its for Emerald. Yeah thats probably whats causing you trouble.

In Emerald the Pokemon have animations which are located elsewhere on the rom. You'll have to edit it manually. That means finding Ralts animation as well. In the .ini file it says that the Animations are found at 3187084 (dec).

Any hint about the location of the tilemap for world maps (in FireRed)? I know already where the tileset is (offset 003F0580 / unLZ #911 w/ deep scan), but as opposed to the title screen images, the tilemap was not right after the tileset.

I systematically checked nearly 500 raw data files (I skipped sprites which actually are images, and also skipped junk chunks looking too large to be a correct raw) and none of them matched. :(

If you know where the tileset is the tilemap is usually the one after it. If not zel has uploaded one in M_X's World Map tutorial thread.

No, the animation data pointers are not in the Attack Data table.

The only way I can think of doing it in an easy way is to give Dragonbreath all the properties of Dragon Rage and vice versa. Then you'll have swapped both attacks.

1. The same way you edit any sprite. Index it, load it in UNLZ, repoint and insert the image and pallete.
2. The cry numbers are the same as the Pokemon numbers.

EDIT: One more

Yes, infact I do.

Please, help!
You are trying to load an unsupported rom. Make sure that the rom has not been edited in anyway. If you can't figure it out yourself, reply with what rom it is that you are attempting to open.

You are referring to rom bases which can be found here (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=88876) and various other forums.
Otherwise here (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=144054)is a good tutorial for inserting tiles yourself.

If you are using XSE it would be waitmovement not pausemove. The person who has the longest number of movements needs to be placed last. You can also put as many as you want.

When I try to run A-Mart, I get a pop-up saying: "Component COMCTL32.OCX or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."

When this was last asked, the answer was to download the missing file. So I did that. I downloaded COMCTL32.OCX and put it in the directory of A-Mart, and it didn't work, so I tried putting it in the inis folder and that didn't work either.

You need to make sure that it is in your System32 folder. If that doesn't work try this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/146219) tutorial on how to manually register the file.
