Zeikku do you know the offsets for the boot screen in Ruby AXVE and the offsets for the backsprites for Ruby AXVE? I'm pretty sure these tuts would work on Ruby too.

Anyways really nice tutorial, the backsprite editing part was really helpful. Thanks.

It should work on Ruby, i need to find the offsets and make a tut for it, but this is for FR...I'll make a R/S/E version of this soon.

Rather than messing with the "<" and divide buttons, you could just put this offset: E69EBC

That'll save a step. :D

EDIT: This is regarding the back sprites, by the way.

For some reason my boot screen went white after I edited it

Edit: Never mind, it worked. Thanks for this tutorial Zeikku :)

Edit2: Now when I edit the palettes, the boot screen is messed up. tbh, I don't know how to use APE, I just copied the palettes that Zeikku used, but I replaced the red ones with blue. Someone please help me.

Edit3: I'm using a hex editor wich is 10x easier.

hey my image offset is 004024E4 and i did everythign you said but it doesnt look anything like it should. I noticed your image offset was different at first. Howd you get the offset to change? Im sorry, im a little new to rom hacking and im clueless on a lotta stuff.

Nice tutorials, they should be helpful (especially the last one, even though I could change the image on the title screen, I never get the credits section done), I'm glad you didn't end up leaving PC.

All Image offsets are different depending on roms, you change it by writing a free offset. Something like 00750000/ 00800000/ 008500000, would work.
use a hex editor if you need free offsets and find a line of just FFs.

Do you think you could add textbox editing to this thread? I tried following textbox editing tuts but they all didn't work and were very vague.

Hey, Zeikku, I get some error message from both NTME and PTC, they both (probably PTC as well) say that they can't find the raw's (tilemap's) size. Any help?
Click to expand...
You should tell such things to the one who made the program.. and that's me :P
That error isn't really an error.. It just can't guess the size..
And that's because it only checks some dimmensions.. should update that.. ASAP!
Happy New Year everyone!
