HackMew's Tools Factory
ROM Hacking Made Easy


I know, it's been a while since last time I posted something. But don't stand on ceremony! I've opened this thread to post all my tools.
So stay tuned and check as often as possible this thread for updates.
As always, I'm open to feedback and improvement ideas, as well as bug report.

All the tools below are ordered alphabetically. All of them have respective source included (*1). They don't need any extra DLL or OCX files in order to work, just the standard VB6 Runtime files (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=7b9ba261-7a9c-43e7-9117-f673077ffb3c&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2 f5%2fa%2fd%2f5ad868a0-8ecd-4bb0-a882-fe53eb7ef348%2fVB6.0-KB290887-X86.exe) unless noted otherwise.
Plus, they all fully support the XP Visual style. Moreover, if you want to translate them in your language, PM me.

*1: Yeah, I decided to release source code. Feel free to create derivate works from it, as long as you clearly give me credits of my code and make available the sourcecode of derivative programs or programs where you used parts of my code.

[D-Trogh]

FINALY !

Yeah.. I knew about these tools for a while.. and tested them too.
They are GREAT !
Just download them and.. HAPPY HACKING
This makes live (well.. hacking) more easily !

Thank you both, Deshay and ash2000!
As I wrote in the first post, suggestions are greatly appreciated.
However, no bad comments for now xP

I'm sorry but I've just tried it and it works fine. Try re-dowloanding the attachment.

[D-Trogh]

/Sneaky/ - HackMew - knows why :P

Well.. I just used APE's Color Picker to edit a color on the titlescreen.. and I was dissapointed that you couldn't enter the GBA Value..
So, it would be nice if you could add that function.
It's handy when you want to make a color a lil' darker/lighter and you only have the GBA Value (or just want to be quick)

[- HackMew -]

I don't know why I didn't think it should be made! XD
Thank you very much for the suggestion, sure. I'll start working on it right now.
Check for updates very often and you'll be satisfacted ;)

EDIT: I'm ready! Download APE again from the new, updated attachment.


TO ALL: if you already have APE, it's better if you download the updated version. Happy Downloading!

[Prof. 9]

I had a little idea for APE. How about making changeable INI files, a bit like Advance Map? Then, we can enter offsets of palettes we often use. That way, you can easily select the palette you need from a menu without having to look for it first. It might be handy for newbies!

Anyway, thanks a lot for the tools, they really helped me!

A sort of "Favorites", after all. When I have time I'll work on it. Stay tuned and thanks for the feedback!

Hey there! Seeing as the Overworld Editor is the tool I most use, I always wondered why there are some sprites missing, like the hero flying with the bird, or the surfing sprites (signs and there's other stuff I think). Would that be hard to implement? (because... It's boring doing that stuff on a Tile Editor, as TLP, and I think it would be appreciated if you could add them, to help lazy people mainly, such as myself... jojo...)

Yeah,Zel's right, it is very hard trying to sprite using tile layer pro especially with those crazy rbg colours. Someone should updated the tool, please!!

Anyways nice work with releasing all these tools, thanx alot!!!

Could you explain better? You should give me more detailed info, such as what ROM you opened and what did you do, step by step. Otherwise I can't help you.

[the3rdhardyboy]

ok i fixed its k hey thx for the tools

[RelaxRelapse]

in the free space finder do I find the numbers in a hex editor or do I use a certain program?

[wmoor0826]

Hey, can you PM me or post a tutorial or something on how to use APE?

[- HackMew -]

in the free space finder do I find the numbers in a hex editor or do I use a certain program?

Sorry but your question doesn't make really sense. Could you explain it a bit better?


Hey, can you PM me or post a tutorial or something on how to use APE?

I'm currently improving APE and I've already planned a related tutorial. So please wait for both!

[RelaxRelapse]

ok sorry...

When I use it and click search you get a number such as 6B09F8.
What do I do with that number?

Do I use a hex editor to do what I want with the space or do I use another program?

[- HackMew -]

Do I use a hex editor to do what I want with the space or do I use another program?

What you get are offsets, as you know. And yes, you can use an hex editor. But you can also use another program, it depends on what you're going to do.

[RelaxRelapse]

ok cool thanks for the reply

[wmoor0826]

If you really insist... read the readme, in the meanwhile :P

[wmoor0826]

Yeah I did, but I can't figure out how to find a specific pokemon.

[D-Trogh]

Yeah I did, but I can't figure out how to find a specific pokemon.
Oh boy.. Open up UnLZ-GBA (I hope you use the hacked one..)
And look for your 'specific Pokémon' there.. Look at the pallete offset, copy it to APE and CHECK the 'Compressed Pallete' box.. Load the pallete and voila..

[- HackMew -]

hey you think a tool for editing pokemon types is possible?

Tools like that already exists. Their names are BaseEdit (which comes with EliteMap) and Amplifier 2006 Ae.
Anyway, remember that this thread is not a tool request one.

[Gradon]

I've used some of your tools I've found off some sites, they're very helpful! =D
You've done very well with these, lol. ^^

[kamikaze watermelon]

your tools are uber sweet:)

[dhame]

I found Pokemon Amplifier AE, it works for changing names but sadly not for types, at least not for me. But I don't mind that anymore.
I was having a problem however with your Overworld Editor. When I load a Fire Red or Leaf Green Rom it works fine. Its when I load in a Ruby or Sapphire rom, this comes up

"Error 63 (Bad Record number) in procedure LoadSpriteStructer of frmOverworldEditor"

Anyone know what I should do?

[- HackMew -]

It seems like you're not using the version 0 of the ROM... To check the version you can use my RHEA

[magnetflygon]

I have a slight problem with the Overworld editor, whenever I try to open a ruby or sapphire rom it gives me an error which says "Error 63 (Bad Record Number) in procedure LoadSpriteStructure of frmOverworldEditor". I don't think it has had this problem before recently.

[- HackMew -]

I have a slight problem with the Overworld editor, whenever I try to open a ruby or sapphire rom it gives me an error which says "Error 63 (Bad Record Number) in procedure LoadSpriteStructure of frmOverworldEditor".

I'm sure that you aren't using the version 1.0 of the ROMs, probably you have v1.1 or 1.2 instead. To solve the problem you can do the following:


use the version 1.0 of the ROM. To check the version you can use RHEA;
-or-
replace the offsets contained in the "Sprites.ini" file with the appropriate ones for v1.1/1.2.


P.S. This error happens only with English ROMs. Versions 1.1/1.2 in other languages have the same offsets and therefore they will work fine.

What was the big update? I don't really see a difference. Sorry if I'm being a n00b here. : P

You sure didn't download APE the first time..

Andrea worked the most on APE, in the other tools there's no real (visual) change but a lot of bug fixes !
Just check out the comments under "Latest version" to see what changed.. !

[- HackMew -]

UPDATE
Fixed a bug on A-Stater that occurred when saving.

[salmjak]

Still got the bug but I get several run time errors from every elitemap program so I'm maybe missing a file?

[- HackMew -]

That's weird o_O
I've just tried the latest version of A-Stater and it works fine.
Are you sure that you're using the newest one?
If so, could you give me a detailed bug report? With all the steps you did.

Talking about EM, that's not the right place to ask. Use the "Simple Questions" thread instead.

[salmjak]

Well everything worked just perfect earlier today then it just stopped to work O.o So did EM so there must be a connection between them :/

how exactly does SMCA work?

When I tried to remove the truck, you start in your room, but the screen still shakes and your rival lives in the same house as you.

If you choose a boy, MAY's sprite becomes a boy and she lives in your house and vice versa.

I think that the Readme is enough, isn't it?

Anyway, all hacking tools should not be used in a slapdash way, otherwhise you could have serious problem.

Regarding SMCA, I never told anyone that can fully remove the truck. I'm still working on that...
Also keep in mind that if you change the starting location, all the starting script have to be rewritten in the new place, of course. And you can't pretend that SMCA will do that for you.

[Dark Empoleon]

I read the readme for the overworld editor and I didnt see anything about making a custom pallet, is there a way to make a custom pallet in overworld editor?

your the man hackmew. i'm using A-starter,advance map, and advance text! your starter program made it alot easier. just posting to say good job

I read the readme for the overworld editor and I didnt see anything about making a custom pallet, is there a way to make a custom pallet in overworld editor?

I think APE is just a way better to make custom palettes. Anyway, when importing some bitmaps with Oveworld Editor, you can import just the palette.

You're welcome and thx for the feeback. Try the other tools, if you want :)

[Leon Blade]

Yes, I just started back up with hacking again. Looking for some tools I found this page. All of these programs are well developed. I'm converting one of the files to fit VB 2005 Express Edition and I will check out the source code. Great job on these, the style and placement of everything makes it a VERY fun program to use.

[thazzle]

dude this stuff rocks, thanks truly amazing

Nice Tools there. This really helped in a way

[Darkrai64]

Thanks! But can someone please tell me where I can download cycloneprototype!!!!!!!?????????/

[- HackMew -]

Thanks you all! ^_^

And, Darkari64, please ask such questions in the "Simple Questions" thread.

[Callydude™]

Hey I've got an Idea maybe you should make a program like dexter(since It always says I got a Virus),for I have seen how great your tools are,so you can edit the pokedex thingymajigs.

[Black Lugia]

thnaks alot that really helepd!!

[Gradon]

I have a problem with the Overword editor, when I try export a sprite, and click save, nothing happens, there is no Image, no save what so ever.

[Konekodemon]

I can't get Advanced starter to work it keeps saying,'This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.' and I did try re-installing it and it keeps on saying the same thing.

The app doesn't comes with that DLL. I'd suggest to find the DLL on google (which is easy to find btw). Hope this helps.

[onstar102]

Regarding SMCA,
Now I've got no problem with the screen still shaking when you first start the game, the thing that bugs me is that the map I start in is slightly messed up, until I refresh the map. Can you offer any insight?

So how do I use APE? I just want to know how to edit the main characters palette.

As I wrote in the first post, you could need the VB6 Runtime files. Go to the first post for further information.

It doesn't come with that dll since it's a part of the VB6 Runtime files. That's it.

Now I've got no problem with the screen still shaking when you first start the game, the thing that bugs me is that the map I start in is slightly messed up, until I refresh the map. Can you offer any insight?

As I wrote many times, you cannot fully remove the truck for now. Maybe a better solution for you could be to change the starting position after the truck, instead.


So how do I use APE? I just want to know how to edit the main characters palette.

The readme explains well how to search a palette inside a ROM. Just read it.

[Forest Grovyle]

Shade, do not double post. If you want to add something to your message, use the "Edit" button instead.

Also, the wording of your post was rather rude; one of our rules here at PC is to respect all members. If you want to offer constructive criticism, that's fine, but your post was rather blunt and spammish.

Me like |3
But i have a little problem..
Everytime i try to run APE an error pop-up

Run-time error '713':

Class not registered.
You need the following file to be installed on your machine. MSSTDFMT.DLL.

I'm not sure what's wrong... >_>

[Shade]

I let my temper get ahead of me I was just realy mad about something else and I needed to get ride of my anger.:embarrass I realy am sorry please forgive me.

[G14c30n]

Awesome! I tested these out, and screwed around on Emerald a bit. Is there any tool so that you can edit emerald's Boy back/front sprites? I've got the little overworld ones already. :)
OH! And is there an emerald map editor? Unless there's those in that pile you've released. *goes to re-look*

[The dawn Witch Lucia]

When I try to import a .BMP, I get an error
'Runtime error 6
'Overflow''. Halp?

[shadowboy166]

Great tools HackMew!
You are a genius for making these tools!
APE realy helped me since i had troubles trying to find the palette for the trainer backsprite in battles.
Thanks again!!!

[Mewtwo42]

All these things are ecxactly what i wnated!!!!(mostly just the Starter Pokemon and Start area changer programs)

P.S.(to Kinglax) Advance text is one

[- HackMew -]

does anyone have the older version of advanced starter that lets me change the starters on the GB and GBC games

does anyone know where i can find it or not, if none of you know just say,'I don't know.' so that i won't just be sitting around waiting for an answer and never getting one

The older versions weren't made by me and that's not the right thread to ask. *goes to report*

Well, I didn't realise that I referenced that (unuseful) DLL in APE's project. Sorry for the error... To fix it, just download the newest version of the tool from the 1st post.

When reporting bugs, be as descriptive as possible, please!
So, please specify the name of the program, the version number and what did you do exactly to get the error, step by step. Otherwhise it's almost impossible to fix bugs...
Now, I guess you were using Overworld Editor - RE. So, what did you do before getting the error?

How about script editors. Can I get any good ones please???

TO ALL: Updated APE and added another little tool. Check first post (http://www.pkmncommunity.com/showpost.php?p=2488977&postcount=1) ;)

[Forest Grovyle]

kinglax and Konekodemon, your posts are unrelated to this thread. This thread is for discussion of HackMew's tools, and you are asking about tools that were not made by HackMew.

If you want to ask where you can find things, use the "Simple Questions" thread instead, rather than posting here. Always make sure that your posts are on-topic.

I used a raw unused/edited Fire Red ROM, hunted down Lugia in Over World editor that I downloaded from the first page of this topic, and It shows the "Import Pallete" and "Import Image". I hit "Load Sprite" (The button you use to find the .BMP), I hit Darkrai, and it gave me the error. I can provide a screenie if you need.

OK I LOAD UP APE BUT IT SAYS I HAVE A DLL MISSING???!??!

[Ssyn]

Well, I didn't realise that I referenced that (unuseful) DLL in APE's project. Sorry for the error... To fix it, just download the newest version of the tool from the 1st post.

*sigh*. Did you download the most recent version, Infernal?

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

yes i did... can you help me??

[Ssyn]

Check the first post; there's a link to the VB6 runtime files. If that doesn't work, then I don't know what else to say.

[.-'Infernal Hylian'-.]

the APE still dont work....,

it's simple, just look what DLL file is missing, and go to google and download it ;)

yyhnx very much

[matrix_hacker_neo]

-HackMew- Your tools are the best. I am using most of them to create my own hack, however, where can I find something to change the very begining text in FireRed (Where it describes what the buttons do and the text before Professor Oaks speach. the one that looks like a notebook)
----THANKS for the tools, and if noone know where to find what I am looking for that is ok.

Well that is simple, download -Advance Text- from the PokeCommunity Toolbox, then when it is done downloading, open your ROM, type in the words that appear on the intro in the "Search" tab, click "write to INI" then edit it. If you need more help, just PM. Also maybe next time you should post a question in the "Simple Questions" Thread, or just search for the answer.

Hmmm all these tools are great but, will you be adding 2nd Gen tools? Cause' I need a 2nd Gen map editor and overworld sprite editor.

@JoyRide The same thing happens to me when I change the trainer sprite, when i view it on the trainer card its leg is like screwed up.

[- HackMew -]

I downloaded the APE and tried it. I cant import ".pal" pallete...When I import, it says "...Occur when importing pallete..." or " Runtime Error...."

Well, ".pal" files are not all the sames, even if they have the same extesion. But, as the program tell you, when importing/exporting a palette you can choose the "PaintShop Palette". What you loaded is not a PaintShop Palette, obviously. I guess you exported that .pal file from VBA, isn't it? Well, export the palette again as a PaintShop format and then import it on APE.


Heya m8 gr8 stuff anychance of you doing a map editor thanks :D

Why I should make a map editor where there is AM already? :P

Edit - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCdIvDQYHtA

I saw your video and I understand why you get the error... You simply unchecked the "Auto abort" option and you imported a really big sprite ovewriting some important data. Also, remember that when you import something it has to be the same dimensions (width/height) as the original one. And when it say that's too big, instead of simply unchecking the Auto abort option, repoint the image in some place full of FFs.

@JoyRide The same thing happens to me when I change the trainer sprite, when i view it on the trainer card its leg is like screwed up.

Well, since I hack the Advance generation, probably I won't make any 2nd generation tools. Also, for a 2nd gen map/graphics editor google GoldMap or ask in the Simple Questions thread.
Regarding the second question, see my answer above.

[SerenadeDS]

Hey HackMew! I love your Tools! Top of Line! But I was wondering, have you ever thought about makeing a tool that lets you change the PokeDex Info for FR/LG/E? Its too bad that Dexter is for R/S, and I haven't found another way, excpet maybe Hex....

First of all, thanks ^^
As D-Trogh said some posts above, I've already thought about a Dexter improvement. At the moment I'm fully working on my hack (hopefully it should be released next week) with my team and I have no time to work on programs. But don't worry, you just have to wait ;)
In the meanwhile, you can check the detailed info about the PokéDex I've posted in the Simple Questions thread.
BTW, I've already planned 4/5 new tools (a new script editor included). Don't forget to check the first page frequently as I update my programs often :)

[Short Range]

I have a quick question about APE. First of all your tools are great and I'll definatly be using them alot. Thanks for making them so much. My question is, does anyone know what the Palette Offset is for The Two main characters OverWorlds? I don't really know how to find overworld Palettes so if you could tell me that aswell I'll have less trouble with Revolution. Thanks again for making these fabulous tools. =D

Thanks :)

Your question, however, should belong to the Simple Questions thread. Anyway, all you have to do is to seach the palettes you'd like to edit. See the Readme for some basic info.
Oh, BTW the Overworld palettes should be LZ77 compressed. Hope it helps!



@ ALL: a new program was just released. Have fun!

[Short Range]

Thank you so much. I've waited so long for that question to be answered and the Simple Questions thread wasn't helping for me. I'll have to try it myself though as I don't quite understand. Anyway nice to see a bit of an update. what does the DS tool do? It looks cool from judgement of the screenshot. =D

[jr.hacker]

the pages havent loaded for me but i have used advance map and that is primo anyway you have top of the line tools hackmew

[Kike-Scott]

Ummm, great tools HackMew!
Everything here it's great. I'm wondering if it's possible you do a "Tiling Program" Somehting that gives you a tileset like AdvanceMap (ordered). But it saves in the Unlz format, not like AdvanceMap (Uncompressed). Gives you the chance to export an indexed image and allows you change the palletes also. It will be great!

Or are you just talking about something in particular?

Hey, everyone! Today is... UPDATE TIME!
Therefore, I'm proud to announce my 2nd Big Update :)
For any further details, check the first post as always.

Oh, by the way, since I've planned some new tools I was wondering if it would be a good idea to make a sort of poll in order to release the most wanted tool. Drop me a line with your opinions if you want. Thanks in advance.

[Wuggles]

Again! Very nice upgrade ^^
You should sell your programs, then you'll be millionair in no time :P

Oh,and your StarterAdvance is great! ;) Any way to edit the movesets of your rival's pokemon?

but is there a wild pokemon editor?= it's in Advance Map ;)

And how to use the WP with an Unown icon? what's WP?

Go ahead and make your poll Hackmew, I told you what I thought people would need, but it's better to ask the people directly (better results that way)

But I'm still more interested on that other thing you're preparing (which is gonna be really useful for me :D), hope you decide to show it sometime soon ;)

Keep working, keep working! :P

[- HackMew -]

OK, thanks everyone for the comments!


If you're interested in the poll, you have to read the following:

Well done! Let's start: I'll explain you how the poll will work. Below you can find a list of ideas. All you have to do is to order them in the release order you prefer.
This will help me to focus on the tools people really want. And therefore to make them happier! XD
Since I'll take this poll seriously, choose carefully and write the reason too. Also, you can't vote more than one time, obviously.
Well, the choosen tool in the first place will get 7 points, the second will get 6 points, ... and so on until the last one which will get just 1 point.
So each tool will have a total number of points and at the end of the poll we'll see which tool will be released first, second, ... and last. :P

The poll starts today, 5th October 2007, and it will end on 5th December 2007. The poll length could be expanded/reduced along the way depending on the people's feedback.


The list format is:


Tool Name
Brief Description


Finally, here's the list:



Titlescreen Cry Changer
This tool will change the cry you can hear on a FR/LG ROM just after the titlescreen.


Shinyzer
This tool will be useful to create shiny wilbattles in seconds on both R/S/E and FR/LG ROMs.


Strengther
This tool will help you to easily change the weakness/strength of each Pokémon type.


eXtreme Script Editor
Anything you ever wanted on script editors will be present in this tool: multiple script handling, batch compiling, command reference, debugging, integrated hex/dec calculator.
Plus a small notes function, line numbering, a great command database too, and much, much more.


Advance Item
It will help you to edit anything related to the items: name, price, where it goes in your bag, and more.


Pokémon Editor Advance
As the name suggests, this one will edit the Pokédex entries, learnable attacks, stats and a lot more. Not just a tiny, limited editor.


Advance Trainer
Think about PET. Now, imagine it totally improved. That's Advance Trainer.



NOTE: the name of the tools listed above could change on the final release.

[cε׀׀]

That is soooo great hackmew!!
Your the greatest!!

Well heres my form:

My graduatory

1st postion: Xtreme script editor
reason:This is the best thing ive heard of!! And iam really needing it to make scripts.

2nd postion:Pokemon editor advance
reason: It sounds realll cool. It will be real handy to change the compostion of the pokemon

3rd postion: Titlescreen cry changer
reason: It is a really handy tool cos i cant change the cry of the pokemon lol.

4th postion:Advance item
reason: It sounds quite cool. but not needing it at the moment.

5th position: Strengther
reason: It sounds very useful!!

6th postion:Advance trainer
reason: sounds real cool but i can just use pet XD

7th postion: Shinyzer!!
reason: Really dont need it at the moment but is real cool

So thats my form
P.S. I personally think that Xtreme script editor is the best and probably everyone!!

[zel]

1st: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: By all you've told me about its features it's like a really improved version of Scripted with not looking as a Pokescript, which sounds perfect for me.

2nd: Advance Trainer
Reason: I'm so tired of editing the trainers with hex or PET (which usually has a lot of problems depending the version. If you manage to do this one, don't forget something to be able to save and load the set of trainers easily (this would really help me when editing trainers for my SGX)
Editing them with hex is way more easy? Yes, I want to see you guys when you have to change as many trainers as I. It gets confusing after editing the 100th trainer :P

3rd: Shinyzer
Reason: Well, a lot of people will find this way more easy than ASM.

4th: Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason: An all-in-one Pokemon editor sounds interesting, as long as the program's size doesn't go way too big (as long as it's compatible with any version, which you always do, it'll be helpful)

5th: Advance Item
Reason: Well, even though it sounds interesting, more info would be needed, because you could do a lot of things to modify an item. Better take care of the other ones.

6th: Strengther
Reason: I think Coolboyman's explanations are enough for now. In any case, I don't think a lot of hackers will want to change the types.

7th: Titlescreen Cry changer
Reason: I don't have any need for it, and it can be done by simple modifying an hex value on your rom and voila! (of course, I know it only for FR, and because M_X told me :P)

How about adding that thing I told you about editing the titlescreen graphics? People always ask me about that ;)

Happy... Programming? :laugh:

[Wuggles]

hmm, that would be nice too, an Titelscreen editor, where you can edit you titlescreen fully and doesn't have to work with unlz tile molester, hex editor ape etc .. ^^

[thundermew]

My Graduatory

1st Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: Sounds really cool! I think its going to be better than the old one
2nd Place: Pokemon Editor Advanced

3rd Place: Advanced Trainer
Reason: If it works with all the ROMs, then this woukd be better than PET
4th Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Sounds good, and I think I'll need it because I intend on having a shiny Pokemon battle in my hack
5th Place: Strengther
Reason: Sounds good, but other programs can do that too
6th Place: Advance Item
Reason: You can do that with Advanced Mart
7th Place: Titlescreen Cry Editor
Reason: As Zel said , you can do it with hex

[Naoshi]

1st Place:Advanced Trainer
Reason: Non-buggy "PET" please!

2nd Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: I'm good with scripting but it tends to get confusing sometimes. So I'd like to see how this will turn out.

3rd Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Yay, shiny encounters.

4th Place: Titlescreen Cry Editor
Reason: You can easily do it in hex, but oh well. But maybe this should be more of a Title Screen Editor (including cry editing). But that's just me...:P

5th Place: Advance Item
Reason: I like this idea. Hopefully we can edit the empty slots for items so we can make more.

6th Place: Pokemon Editor Advanced
Reason: Sounds pretty good but I won't need much use for it.

7th Place:Strengther
Reason: Eh, I can't imagine it being used much.

[Sergio--]

Well, it's great to count on a developper really interesed about the feedbacks. ;)
Let's go to the sondaggio.
My Graduatory
1st Place: XSE
Reason: First the currents databases are really obsoletes and scripted is "buggie" with trainer and pokemon battles.
2nd Place: Advanced Trainer
Reason: The same that Zel, it's annoying to change it in Hex. First to seek the name in Pet, copy the pokemon offset and change it in thingy... so boring. And Pet doesn's search downcase letters nor accents nor the eñe so in a lot of cases you have to search the name manually...
3rd Place: Pokémon Editor Advance
Reason: It's good to have all in the same tool. Pokeampifier 3.2 lacks the habilities, egg groups and sex distribution (%male-female) but anyway you can use base-edit.
4, 5 and 6th Places: Titlescreen Cry Changer, Shinyzer, Advance Item
Reason: They are very useful and will be succesful, but it's use is sporadic. For instance I've only changed an item when i made that TM13 Ice Beam cannot be hold by a pokemon nor toss away. I mean they could be put together in a sort of "suite".
7th Place: Strengther
Reason: For me, change that data it's a little antipokémon, but it can be useful for customize the avalaible "???" type (only used for eggs and curse)

Well, in general, all those tools are really useful but, wow, you are making a lot of tools.
Have you thinked in create a Hackmew's suite for join all together? There is strength in numbers.

[Alistair]

My Graduatory
1st Place: eXtremeScriptEditor
Reason: The current scripting tools are sub-par, at best. We need a bug-free, updated scripting tool!
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: PET is really buggy, and hex editing is a hassle.
3rd Place: Shinyzer
Reason:This will help out many people who intend to put in shiny battles in his/her hack
4th Place: /Advance Item
Reason:Advance Item would be really useful for people editing items in their hacks (They are tied for third with usefulness with me)
5th Place: Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason: I don't really have a use for it, but seeing how adding DP Pokémon is popular...
6th Place: Titlescreen Cry changer
Reason: Well, editing the cry of the Pokémon in the beginning is a very minor detail.
7th Place: Strengther
Reason: I don't really see a use for this program, even though some people might.

I do have a little suggestion (It is just that, a suggestion. No need to feel obligated). Maybe a complete tileset editor with palette changer?

[thethethethe]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Shinyzer
Reason:I can do it Mastermind X's way but I'm too lazy to do it over and over again.
2nd Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason:Because I'm interested in the debugging part.
3rd Place: Title Screen Cry Changer
Reason:I need this.
4th Place: Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason:I'm sick of Amplifier.
5th Place: Strengther
Reason:Should be very useful.
6th Place: Advance Item
Reason:I'm happy with hex for this. But some day's I'll be lazy, and this will be great for those days.
7th Place: Advance Trainer
Reason:I haven't had any troubles with PET, yet, so I don't think I'll need this.

[light_trainer921]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Advance Item
Reason: This will be extremely useful to me.
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: I can do it in PET but I'll stick with this one.
3rd Place: Pokémon Editor Advance
Reason: Pokemon Amplifier does the job but it's Spanish. So this will help.
4th Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: Good but I need to learn how to script first.
5th Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: I'm in but I prefer a whole titlescreen editor.
6th Place: Shinyzer
Reason: I really don't need it. I'll stick with rare ones.
7th Place: Strengther
Reason:I don't need it the most. I prefer the old strengths/weaknesses.

[OMNIPOTENT]

My Graduatory
1st Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: As many said, current ones don't work always properly, especially the database aren't always clear.
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: Same as above: too many problems for such a requested tool.
3rd Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Lot of people would love this. ASM scripting is not easy at all.
4th Place: Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason: Not on the first positions because lot of programs already exist. still really useful because you put in all the functions in a single program.
5th Place: Advance Item
Reason: Useful tool not created yet. Still less necessary as the others.
6th Place: Strenghter
Reason: The tutorial is enough. but a tool making it quicker may be appreciated and may improve the hacking this feature. I'd recommend adding also the function to hack types' names ;)
7th Place: TitleScreen Cry Changer
Reason: Least requested tool. and a simple hex tutorial would be enough, i suppose.

Suggestion: a TitleScreen Changer. changing all the graphics is something a lot of people ask for. Also some editor for the attack properties, i know A-tack but not everything is done properly.

[♠εx]

My Graduatory
1st Place:eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: A better version of ScriptEd and PokeScript? What more can you say, hopefully it will be easy to compile and maybe decompile? This would be a great tool.
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: I'm not a fan of HEX, mainly because it takes time and PET is a bit glitchy, which I found out the hard way. If you made it easier and better, I would definately use it ;).
3rd Place: Shinyzer
Reason: I don't want to really have shiny battles, because I beleive it is like enhancing the game too much. Though this would be useful for other people.
4th Place: Pokemon Editor Advance[/b]
Reason: A program with the whole package would be very useful, especially when insterting D/P Pokemon into a game, which is very popular now.
[b]5th Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: Well, it would be useful in later stages of someones hack, because alot of people are willing to make their game have a better presentation.
6th Place:Advance Item
Reason: I like the idea, but many people don't really care about the items x]. Maybe just when your changing a few things, but this can be done with Hex, right?
7th Place:Strengther
Reason: I don't really think this is necessary.. I like the normal strengths plus small changes can be made with A-Tack.

[Prof. 9]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Xtreme Script Editor
Reason: This'll (hopefully) reduce the amount of script problems, and increase the amount of good hacks =D
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: Advance Battle is crappy and PET is absolute trash. And hex is too hard... so we need a better trainer editor =D
3rd Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: As far as I know, there's no (easy) way to do this. And this would be useful in many hacks =D
4th Place: Advance Item
Reason: Nice, but it could be done with A-Mart too.
5th Place: Advance Pokémon
Reason: There's already Pokémon Amplifier...
6th Place: Strengther
Reason: Changing the types kinda ruins te game imo... =/
7th Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Results in loads of n00b hacks with Shinies... shiny Pokémon are suppossed to be rare... the Red Gyarados is an exception though, 'cuz it's part of the story.

[Juan]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Xtreme Script Editor
Reason:It would be good, therefore I have some problems with the Scripted and Pokescript
2nd Place: Shinyzer
Reason:I liked the idea to create events with pokémon shiny. I followed that tutorial one, but I only obtained to create one common wildbattle.
3rd Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason:Cry?
4th Place: Advance Item
Reason:Already the PET exists
5th Place: Advance Pokémon
Reason:Already the PA exists
6th Place: Advance Item

That is totally off topic. Google "Birmin Studios" and select the first one on the list.

Are these tools for the poll you're working on right now?

[- HackMew -]

Thanks everyone for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
I've updated the Poll Results. If you're interested just check my previous post (http://pkmncommunity.com/showpost.php?p=2964049&postcount=134).

[Mastermind_X]

It's really nice to not see any credit to me. C'mon, I don't want to be silly, but how many functions and scripts did I reverse for your tools and now there isn't even a breeze of having received help from other people...

[D-Trogh]

It's really nice to not see any credit to me. C'mon, I don't want to be silly, but how many functions and scripts did I reverse for your tools and now there isn't even a breeze of having received help from other people...Well.. Same for Martin (Wuggles) and Me.. We also found some commands for XSE, but MEH.
XSE isn't out yet, nor is Shinyzer, so those credits will come when the tools are there M_X ;)

[Lupe]

um hack mew can you make a program that changes the whole titlescreen including the cry coz why bother just changing the cry

[D-Trogh]

um hack mew can you make a program that changes the whole titlescreen including the cry coz why bother just changing the cryWhy don't you guys use unLZ-GBA and Cyclone - -'

[- HackMew -]

um HackMew can you make a program that changes the whole titlescreen including the cry coz why bother just changing the cry

Why just the cry, uh?
Have you at least a minimal idea about the difficulty of the program you're requesting? I guess not.
There's no source code for Cyclone and I would have to rewrite it totally from scratch. And unLZ has no source as well, by the way. So quite difficult, indeed.
Also, changing the cry involves a bit of ASM too and it's useful only on FR/LG ROMs while changing the rest of the titlescreen is important on both R/S/E and FR/LG ROMs.

[The Smell]

Awesome tools HackMew! I use them all the time now!

~Smell

[cooley]

Well, What about a tool that can edit the x and y positions on thw world map.
Or am I asking to much/Too difficult?

Thanks for making these tools. They,
Are really helpful, and I use them A lot!
-cooley

[- HackMew -]

Thank you both, The Smell and cooley.

[B]Well, What about a tool that can edit the x and y positions on thw world map.
Or am I asking to much/Too difficult?

Regarding this request, I know Mastermind_X will make a tutorial about that someday. Maybe I'll do a related program but I am not totally sure for now.

[Dr0n3]

hackmew u need to fi the search function on APE it doesnt work maybe its me but it worked for me then it didnt

[- HackMew -]

HackMew u need to fi the search function on APE it doesnt work maybe its me but it worked for me then it didnt

First of all, make sure you're using the latest version. After that, try to explain better what's the problem explaining step by step what did you do, if the error still happens even using the newest APE.

[cooley]

-Hackmew-, For SMCA how come it doesn't have support for the "Y" position?
For Firered/LeafGreen. It can only edit the "X" position.

If you can please update it, as it is very important.
-cooley

[Dabomstew]

-Hackmew-, For SMCA how come it doesn't have support for the "Y" position?
For Firered/LeafGreen. It can only edit the "X" position.

-cooley

Hackmew answered this in reply to one of your posts in the Script Requests thread...
Yes, it's not a script since it's ASM. The Y position can't be edited though since it's calculated depending on the map height. The X position, instead, can be fully edited and the updated version of SMCA supports it. So basically, it's impossible. Just set up your map to allow for the default y-position.

On a more general note, I've found these programs useful (and the sources were beneficial when I was trying to pick up the basics of vB). Nice work.

Oh, and before I forget...
My Graduatory
1st Place: Advance Item
Reason: This is the tool that I would find the most use of as I don't know the format of the items in hex and there isn't really much of a tool for this yet, you have to use several different tools.
2nd Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: While I can already change it to within the first 251 with a simple byte-change, I'd be interested if there was a way using ASM to make it a Hoenn Pokemon (or indeed, any pokemon with number > 255)
3rd Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: Although I'm too used to dynamic offsets in Pokescript to change, the commands database is outdated for both it and ScriptDec, so I'd mainly need this one to get new commands to update the Pokescript database with. If I ever decide to try out static offsets this would be useful also.
4th Place: Pokémon Editor Advance
Reason: The various versions of Pokemon Amplifier modifies most of this already, but there seems to be gaps in each one...
5th Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Don't need this, already have code for shinies set up.
6th Place: Strengther
Reason: Don't need this, understand your types weakness/strength hex tutorial already.
7th Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: Don't need this, have fixed PET and custom software for this already.

I based my votes on my personal preferences rather than the community as a whole, but all of those programs would be useful in some way to the wider community, I'm sure.

[Archuleta Shuckle]

I'm really interested in this as we need a working Trainer Editor. If I recall, those who have tried to find the coding in the game for the trainers, have failed to make some sort of editor out of them. Not to say you will of course. So I hope this one is possible. I got PET to work with Emerald, but the sprites were always mixed up even after dumping them. For example, I when trying to edit Flannery's Camerupt, it showed a Numel sprite. It always showed the sprite before. The trainer icon was wrong as well. So I hope your Trainer Editor will be grand. It's the only thing I need for my hack.

I've taken a look at your work, and it's very nice. Keep up the good work!

[Tré]

hey nice factory you got there. i seemed to be new here lol

[- HackMew -]

Thanks everyone for the comments, as always. And remember to keep voting! ;)

Oh, I've updated the results of the poll (http://pkmncommunity.com/showpost.php?p=2964049&postcount=134). Take a look if you want.

[Lupe]

hey um hackmew is it possible to make a program that changes pokemonsprites easily beside unlz coz it really hard to use (for me)

[- HackMew -]

hey um HackMew is it possible to make a program that changes pokemonsprites easily beside unlz coz it really hard to use (for me)

Well, unLZ is quite easy and there are some tutorials about it in the Documents and Tutorials section. Just take a look.
Also, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to make a new program especially designed to change Pokémon sprites since there's already unLZ.

[coin3]

What about a advance tile editor? The other way is hard to figure out for people, like making titlescreens is. But making a tileset program seems good.

[cooley]

There is no need for that either, since a-map allows for export
and import of '.dib' tilesets. You can also just edit them with paint.
xD

[SerenadeDS]

Yea, but it can produce errors and other werid things unless you use unLZ. I think that is a good Idea, but it may not be needed :P

[Kazuma]

it is needed, but its not as important as other tools ie. Extreme Script Editor, Pokemon Editor Advanced, and so on :\

[Randul85]

mines don't work cuz i have a imac is there another way to hack

[- HackMew -]

mines don't work cuz i have a imac is there another way to hack

Well, you won't have any luck finding tools that are associated to ROM hacking for Mac OSes, besides hex editors, emulators and patch creators. (check http://www.zophar.net/ for available tools)
The best way would be to either switch to a Windows system while ROM hacking or to install a Virtual PC program, that can emulate a Windows machine on your Mac, and makes the tools fully working for you.

[MR. MR. MR. ATOM.]

thanks for all the tools.
but do u no where i could find a sapphire rom

READ THE RULES!! Asking/providing information on where you can get ROMs is strictly prohibited.

Jeez.

[shoohoo88798]

really nice tools , i working on one this moment!thanks guy!

[EarthsVisitor]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason: I've found myself needing to change a Pokemon's sprite, or edit's it attacks alot, and this requires multiple glitchy programs, and Hex Edditing, so all together this would very helpful.
2nd Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: PET's layout and functionality is crap, and Hex Editting takes too long, this would save me alot of time.
3rd Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: Me and you talked about this. Sounds great, especially with all the problems the other editors have.
4th Place: Advance Item
Reason: Every now and then I need to change a key item, or it's description. This would obviously make that easier.
5th Place: Shinyzer
Reason: Sounds like a fun and simple tool.
6th Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: Uhm, very insignificant, so not that important to me.
7th Place: Strengther
Reason:Not Very Important, can already be readibly done, and can't you just add that to like the Pokemon Editor Advance?

[du1387]

For the program release stuff, here's my order and reasoning.

My Graduatory

1st place) Advance Trainer.
Reason: PET is crap, and half the time, when I try to replace something I get a dragonite or something like that. A nice, working trainer editor would be welcome.
2nd place) Pokemon Editor Advance
Reason: For those of use who aren't good hex editors, this program would help with changing pokemon data in emerald (Which is no easy task otherwise).
3rd place) Extreme Script Editor
Reason: This would definately be extremely useful for any hacker.
4th place) Shinyizer
Reason: Just sounds like a fun tool to use.
5th place) Advance Item
Reason: Sounds like a fun tool to use, although I personally can't imagine myself using it too often. Still, it would be handy if I needed an Item editor.
6th place) Strengther
Reason: It would be useful, but I just can't imagine myself using it too much.
7th place) Titlescreen Cry Editor
Reason: Again, useful, just can't imagine myself using it too much.

[- HackMew -]

Hey, thanks for voting :)
As usual the poll results were updated. Take a look if you care.

[Time]

1st - eXtreme Script Editor
It would be more easier for new/old/in hurry hackers. But I just wish there's a special reader-like-thing that will scan you're script and will tell you if you've done some errors in either spelling (eg, for instance.., some confuse \ with the / )...

2nd - Shinyzer
I've been wanting to have a shiny script encounter with my hack. And it would be useful to hacker with new ideas of, eg, PKMN SHINIES! :D

3rd - Advance Trainer
P.E.T. is useful, however, it's still glitchy, for instance, I can't edit the PKMNs that twins or any trainer's which battles you in a double battle, and I can't edit the PKMNs of the Elite Four... And, in PET, the attacks aren't the same attacks to be used in the game, for instance, String Shot is another attack in the game. T_T It would be very useful if it'll be done. :)

4th - Pokémon Editor Advance
I am kinda annoyed editing the PKMNs POKEDEX entries using A-Text, and so, this would be very helpful, indeed.

5th - Strengther
Changing the weaknesses and resistance of any PKMN Types would be very helpful, indeed...

6th - Titlescreen Cry Changer
A helpful tool to those who choose to hack either FireRed/LeafGreen ROMs and has the desire to change the token POKEMON in the title screen.

and last, but not least...

7th - Advanced Item
A-Mart exist for that job, however, it will depend on how they differ from each other.

[Frostbite]

My Graduatory
1st Place: Advance Trainer
Reason: I would love to have a WORKING trainer editor unlike PET. PET is just trash and can get very confusing. The tool often runs into other trainer's offsets and also the only pokemon moves that you are only allowed to customize are the gym leader's / elite 4. I'd like to see a fully functioning, clean, and easy trainer editor.
2nd Place: Pokémon Editor Advance
Reason: Seems like a good idea. I'd like to see a Pokemon entry editor with FR support. Not just that but, a tool with many functionalities. I like the sound of that, it would save me a lot of space in my tool folder. ;)
3rd Place: Shinyzer
Reason: It sounds pretty good and takes out all of hassle of ASM hacking. I'd like to have a tool like this. :P
4th Place: Advance Item
Reason: I really like item editing, this will make things very easy for some hackers.
5th Place: Titlescreen Cry Changer
Reason: Sounds like a fun tool. With this, we wont be hearing the same charizard cry every time we play a FR/LG hack. It gives more customization to the title screen which allows the creator to be more creative.
6th Place: eXtreme Script Editor
Reason: I like the sound of this tool however, I would not see myself using it much.
7th Place: Strengther
Reason: A good tool if you want to make custom pokemon types but, I would just prefer the traditional typing. :/

Also it's spelt "screenshots" not "screenshoots" ^^;

[lightor]

It's been killing me.

[zel]

And that means that we'll soon have a Trainer Editor (bye bye PET ;P)

By the way, according to PET, there are only a few trainer classes that enable you to edit the trainer's Pokemon's attacks (and they are not just the GymLeader, Rival, E4 and Champion classes, there are more). Unless you can skip that "problem", you should remember that.

Well, wishing you luck for when you start the programming!

[trainmaster611]

So I assume you will be doing it in this order?

1. eXtreme Script Editor with 117 points
2. Advance Trainer with 89 points
3. Pokémon Editor Advance with 86 points
4. Shinyzer with 80 Points
5. Advance Item with 65 points
6. Titlescreen Cry Changer with 60 points
7. Strengther with 35 points

Don't mean to bug you but approximately how long does each program take to make? I have a buddy whose been working on a model converter program for another game which has been taking him quite a while.

# Advance Trainer
Pet universally sux and no movement to improve it pisses me off...and everyone know u can do it the best

# Pokémon Editor Advance
Useful for people adding new pkmn to hacks liek myself...

# eXtreme Script Editor
cool, but yeah....scripting is still gonna be the same..

# Titlescreen Cry Changer
Nice but i'm ny going to mess w/ that yet

# Shinyzer
Shinies rock and the full way is painful for noobs, but it's nt needed in the community...

# Strengther
cool in concept, but seems esy to hex it if needed to be done...

# Advance Item
Don't need it for anything in the future...

My first time posting My list here....Well here goes.

1. Advance Trainer
This is the most needed tool on my list. PET isn't well put, and it is Glitchy.

2. Pokemon Editor Advance
I really want to insert new pokemon, but I don't feel like replacing Any...

3. Shinyzer
MX's Method isn't all that friendly to noob's...xD

4. Extreme script editor
What's wrong with pokescript? Hopefully this will be better, and more friendly to noob's.

5. Titlescreen cry changer
Dabonstew has already made it, but Maybe yours will have support for Hoenn Pokemon.

6. Strengther
Good Idea, But I don't see why I would need it....

7.Advance Item
Many programs have a feature to edit Items thus, meaning I don't need it.

4. Extreme script editor
What's wrong with pokescript? Hopefully this will be better, and more friendly to noob's.
Well..
PokéScript doesn't compile very well.
It doesn't decompile at all.. Or nobody really knows how XD
Of course XSE will be beter.. Andrea, Martin and me discoverd a lot of 'new' commands..
