This was originally compiled in Fire Red. It works well, it checks the date and time and says:

 Today is (Day of the Week), (Hour):(Minutes)

in RTC.

But when I compile it to RUBY, it always says:

 Today is Sunday, 00:00

Is this an error of RUBY? I already inserted an RTC in RUBY using DNS but still the same.



Why don't you try doing it again? Understand every bit of word and sentence and absorb it in your mind. Lol! I'll try later but I think it will work out perfectly for me.

That script seems really, really complicated for what you are trying to do, and once again we have a problem with flags: NO FLAGS OVER 900. And why are you setting so many of them? Also, the free ram space in Ruby is completely different from FR. I believe the location of the rtc is different, which would cause your problem.

I've been fishing around for a while, and thought I would finally come here to ask this. I've been looking for someway to edit the order of the regional dex in Emerald for my hack... Is there someway to do this? Would anyone be willing to teach me how?

 

[Mizumi]

Is there a way to add more than 5 evolutions to Eevee?

 

[TweenyTodd]

Is there a list of XSE commands? Cuz i want to know the point of this special command:
special 0x16D

Go download PGE (Pokémon Game Editor). It has the only Pokédex order editor that supports more games than just FR. I believe it supports Emerald.

Is there a list of XSE commands? Cuz i want to know the point of this special command:
special 0x16D

Google "JPAN's Study on the Special and Special2 Commands". For real XSE commands, and not their parameters, strike F1 while in XSE.

 

[TweenyTodd]

Is there a way to add more than 5 evolutions to Eevee?

Yes, try YAPE if you are using a clean ROM. There's obviously other ways, but that's the easiest.

 

[karatekid552]

Is there a way to add more than 5 evolutions to Eevee?

It can be done, but you have to edit the routine which loads and carries out evolutions. I have looked at evolution data structure before and it basically is just is a list of every evolution in the game, which can be broken down into groups of five, one group per pokemon. There is no end or starter bytes for each group and therefore the game just counts in order to know which evolutions belong to each pokemon. So, you would have to edit the routine to make it count more evolutions per pokemon, or make a special case scenario for Eevee.

Yes, try YAPE if you are using a clean ROM. There's obviously other ways, but that's the easiest.

No, that won't work since YAPE has precautions against going against the game's limits. See my above post for a little bit more in depth on what need to be done.

Thank you, turns out it was linking for the Union Room, which I should have guessed given that I took it from the map script of the Union Room.

I'm hacking FireRed, how hard is it to add Pokemon to the extra ?????????? Slots in YAPE?

 

[karatekid552]

I'm hacking FireRed, how hard is it to add Pokemon to the extra ?????????? Slots in YAPE?

Easy, but difficult. Haha, they won't have dex entries, (unless you hack the pokedex, there is a thread in R&D for that), which will cause the game to crash when caught. So, they have to be evolved or given to the character. I use them for some of the extra evolutions added in Gen IV.

However, everything else works fine. Except icons.... Those have to be properly and completely repointed or else it reverses all sprite changes you made. So, just repoint every thing you can that deals with them and you should be fine.

So there's a tutorial for that maybe?

For expanding the pokedex?

You can add them just like you normally would in YAPE, but when you put in sprites, makes sure to repoint all of them.

Thanks again dude, I just woke up so I just had the time to answer. But do you know how to fix it? I just copied that script from Liquid Crystal by LinkandZelda and Zeikku. I really don't know of a Ruby hack that checks the time and date. And also, I don't know how to fix it.

Well, if the script came straight out of LC... Wait. Jambo hacked LC's save routine and storage to allow more vars and flags. You can't use this script as it is. We have to rewrite it as it isn't safe.

 

[robinjea]

But why does it work on a clean Fire Red Rom, but the one with RTC installed through DNS?

Also If I rewrite the script for Ruby, is it also that long?

There are different ways to go about it. Maybe.

Did you mean to say not work in a clean rom?

Umm... No. I meant a clean Fire Red Rom with DNS.

 

[karatekid552]

Umm... No. I meant a clean Fire Red Rom with DNS.

Well that's not a clean rom:p. haha, it runs on that because all of those flags do exist, they just overwrite other important stuff like vars and pc boxes. Not good. It doesn't run on Ruby, because the rtc clock is put in a different place (most likely).

 

[robinjea]

Do you know how I'll repoint the script to the pointer of the rtc?

 

[karatekid552]

Do you know how I'll repoint the script to the pointer of the rtc?

Actually, I am looking at it now, and the rtc is in the same place and so isn't the free space which the script copies the date and time to.

I am going to try and insert this myself and see how it goes.
