There was just one problem...

In my hack I want to have a character asking which Pokémon the player would like to choose, and before the multiple choice box comes up, there is meant to be some text, but it doesn't show!

Could someone help?

This is the script I am using in XSE...

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock

JPAN's hacked engine allows us to add more OW palettes, right?

At the offset 1A2400, I've added another pointer for a palette to the table.
Like this:

[B]... 00 00 80 08 17 11[/B] 00 00 00 00 FF 11 00 00 ...

And yes, I ended the table with 00 00 00 00 FF 11 00 00.

But how do I use it in-game? I don't see how. (It's either I didn't understand or saw how in the manual or I'm doing something wrong with the numbers.)
Help would be greatly appreciated! :)

I'm guessing it's @string. Just put the specials, loadpointers, and setvars before a preparemsg/waitmsg combo (like on the multichoice command in my tutorial) and you're good to go.

You probably didn't see the section on the structure of the overworlds. You have to find the overworld you want to asssign the palette to and change both the palette number and the slot number.

Hi. Could someone please help me with special 0x58, please?
It's the wild pokemon switcher, and I've been trying to get it to work for a couple of hours now...

Here's my XSE script:
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
setvar 0x8009 0x08FF
setvar 0x8008 0xFF34
setvar 0x8006 0x1
setvar 0x8005 0x0
special 0x58
release
end


In a Hex Editor, my ROM looks like this at the offset 0x08FFFF00

64 64 96 00 64 64 96 00 64 64 96 00 64 64 96 00
(it repeats this 7 more times)
This is supposed to be my wild pokemon data. (a bunch of lvl 100 Mewtwo's)

When I test it, the wild pokemon that I run into are just "?????????"'s.
I've tried so many different things and nothing is working for me...sometimes Sunflora appears though :/

Thanks!

just bumping my question cause I can't figure it out...

I've been working on stuff in the Safari Zone and realized that the game doesn't warp you back to the starting point once you've reached 0 steps.

I'm assuming this has something to do with the hacked engine and that this was somehow removed from "special 0xcd"? Otherwise, I'm not sure why it wouldn't work. If that's the case, my question is how to reactivate it so it warps you back when you reach 0 steps. Or do I just have to use "special 0x81" to check the number of steps remaining and warp you back when it's at 0? I'm guessing this is what would have to be done.

 

[BlitŻ1]

So, let me get this straight..
I apply the patch, then I use the tool? -o-
Or does the patch do everything?

 

[Full Metal]

The tool inserts the patch, but it only inserts what you want from the patch afaik.

Does anyone know how to get special 0xcb to work? I'm trying to have it so that if L+R are pressed it changes the heroes sprite.
the script for what i want to happen is

#org $start
lock
checkflag 0x1200
if 0x01 goto $back
message $1
$1 1 =Change shape?
boxset 5
compare 0x800D 0x0001
if 0x01 goto $one
release
end

#org $one
Setvar 0x4054 0x025
setflag 0x1200
release
end

#org $back
message $1
boxset 5
compare 0x800D 0x0001
if 0x01 goto $yes
release
end

#org $yes
Setvar 0x4054 0x000
clearflag 0x1200
release
end

It works fine but if i try to hook it up with the special thing it doesn't work

my script for the special 0xcb is

#org $test
setvar 0x8004 0x300
loadpointer 0x0 0x800000
special 0xcb
special 0xca
end

800000 is the script offset of the script i want to happen and it is set as a map script.
If someone could tell me what is wrong i would greatly appreciate it. Also if anyone knows how to get the sprite to change without having to go through a warp it would be great too.

 

[Micael Alighieri]

I found a rather annoying problem in the application.
When you open the character hack or overworld hack, you can't close the dialog window. It is annoying if you pushed it by accident.

Yeah, that happens to me too. Please, any help? There's no response or solution because it seems like this problem is ignored (since May...) :(

 

[astar_01]

Is JPAN still working on this engine?
I always loved it when he released new updates.

Refresh the map. There's a special used for tile inserting that does it. ;)

The special your looking for is 0x8E. :)

Simply apply:

special 0x8E

To your script to refresh your map.

 

[chriskid198]

Can someone please tell me what exactly this does?
I read the first post, and some of it I don't understand; All processor math and logic functions available for your variables, Edit what every Behaviour byte does when you press A in front of it(scripts), allowing for things like headbutt trees. Those are some that I don't understand. Can someone explain it too me?

 

[chriskid198]

Please help. Anyone?
I would really like to know if I should use this for my hack.

 

[Darthatron]

Read the guide? It elaborates on everything.

 

[chriskid198]

I have. Is it worth while using in my hack though?

 

[Micael Alighieri]

Read the guide? It elaborates on everything.

The guide is not complete at all (sorry, I think that some parts of the guide is only for very advanced rom hackers, I don't understand all the guide then).

I don't want to offense the creator of this engine, but I think that he's ignoring us (he got tired of us, how depressing -.-). Of course, there's no help for my problem, I'm only a mortal person, BUT my problem is talking about a glitch, so imagine, how can a tutorial tell me about repairing a hack tool?

chriskid198: Behaviour is the overworld state. For example, facing up, facing down, walking up, walking down, walking right and left, hidden, etc. You have a behaviour list in Advance Map as well.

Bye.

Overworld Hack Problem

I have been using this fantastic hack to improve the experience of my hack, but have run into a rather large problem. I have tested this multiple times and have tried everything I can think of to fix it, so a little help is probably required!

After applying the Overworld Hack (Table of tables, hero switching etc), the surfing stops working in my rom. Just the surfing mind, nothing else.

When I go to surf, the game does everything up to the point where the surfing special should activate, then it simply resets. I have tried this on 3 or 4 separate roms and always get the same result.

I tried setting the linked variable (0x7002) to 0x2 (because the surfing sprite is on table 0, sprite number 2), but it still happens.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this perhaps a bug?

EDIT: Another minor bug to report. If you apply the trainer flag hack, the game crashes and resets if you are challenged by a trainer who is 4 or more steps away from you. That is, whenever the move camera to show sprite response is triggered, the game crashes. Dunno if anyone has noticed this as yet.

EDIT 2: I should probably have mentioned that this is using the Hacked Routine applier. As I need all the original scripts of Fire Red for my hack, as it's a yellow remake. And no, i'm not just tacking a few events onto FR and calling it a hack, i'm adding a load of new stuff too.
