Scripts and text are two entirely different things.
Anyways, I have already made a script editor. Look some number of posts up.
It is a part of PPRE. Its not like the script editors for GBA because we don't know most of the commands, it would be great if you helped out with some commands.
I will be releasing a revamped version in a few weeks, maybe interpreting some commands that we already know.
Try searching for BMD0 in the land data file, then copy from the there (including BMD0) until you reach BHDC (don't include BHDC) and make a new file with that.
Not really since that is as easy as it gets.

You need to find a btx file that has all the textures that the model file says are used. It might not be zero. For twinlieaf, texture number 6 works.

I have been working on a pokemon hack called Pokemon Bloodstone for some time now. it was originally a pokemon emerald hack but because of the sprite limit i have had to change to a pokemon diamond hack. i have found most of the tools i am looking for but i'm having trouble finding the rest. does anyone know where i could find the following tools
a map editor (which will also let me import tilesets and palletes)
and overworld editor
an mini-icon editor
a way to import sprites
Also i have a few questions
1) can you add your own items and set what they do without editing pre-existing ones
2) can you change the sinnoh dex to 202
and the national dex to about 600
3) how do you set a certain event shiny (like red gyarados on pokemon Gold)
4) how do you change the shiny rate from 1/8000 to 1/200
there is an action replay code that changes it to 1/1 so there must be a way to change to to 1/200
5) on the screen where you select if you're a boy or a girl can you add extra options
6) how do you add different forms to pokemon, with different mini-icons and overworlds (like unown)
7) can you set the maximum level to over 100?
8) can i add extra boxes in the pc (to about 25)
9) i want to be able to 'fuse' pokemon. at one section you will be able to 'fuse' 3 pokemon. but i want the stats to be all 3 pokemons stats divided by 2, does anyone know how i can do that
any help with be greatly appreciated and your name will be put in my credits list when i release the game.

I think there are a lot of those tools, But unfortently I we can't give you link, Just use google...
You can maybe also try to rename your rom to .gba and open it with advancemap, I don't know it will work, but I think so...

He was just spamming.
Before I begin let me advise you not to be too disappointed. Most of the answers will be negative. Unfortunately there are not alot of use actively working on DPP so progress is VERY slow.
The number of people who want hacking tools is MUCH MUCH greater than the number of people willing to research DPP to figure out how things work and make those tools.
Not yet, you'll have to wait a LONG time for this.
PokeTEX works, but is somewhat complicated to use.
I don't know what you mean here.
Which sprites?
We will be able to do it eventually. But that requires FULL knowledge of how the game handles items.
Seems possible, but has not been done. Again we need FULL knowledge of how the game handles pokemon.
You need an ASM hack as well as particular scripting knowledge.
That should be easy. Just find the shiny check code and change the appropriate value, actually I already know what it is. We can change it to 1/257 IIRC.
Sure, but its hard.
We don't know yet.
Yes. But you need to find every single place where the game checks that the pokemon's level is less than or equal to 100.
Probably, but you need to do an ASM hack and modify the save handler, and make sure you don't break anything else.
I don't think so.
To conclude, you should not ask if something is possible or if you 'can' do something. Most of the time it IS possible, you CAN do it. But that does not imply that you will or that any one knows HOW.

by sprites i mean custom sprites
and by mini icons i mean the little icons that appear in the pc or next to pokemons name.
btw do you have a (very rough) time frame (weeks/months/years) on how long it will take to develop the tools. i have no knowledge of how stuff like that works or how to make it so i can't estimate.
how much development have you made so far in Diamond hacking
also what game are you mostly focussing on (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum)
becaue if you get more developed in Platinum , i will change my hack to a platinum hack.
Btw when (however long it takes) you figure out more in-depth knowledge and possibly have solutions to my problems please PM/notify me
Thanks for your help

That doesn't help at all.
I'll assume you mean pokemon sprites. Look for PokeDSPic http://pokeguide.filb.de
If these are the same as the pokemon party icons then you can use modifications of PokeDSPic that I made, there is one for party icons. http://db.pokesav.org/upload/index....okeDSPicModifiedVersions.zip&directory=Others
I have made an event editor and a script editor. I don't have as many commands as I would want since its just me and one other person actively searching for them.
I would say about a year from now, you might have something close to what you want. Like I said there are so many things to do and not enough people helping. That means more work for the few people working which means it will take longer.
All three. The difference between each of them will be minimal.
When there are huge developments you will know it because I will post a thread in the tools section.
You're welcome.

To be honest, I think most of the things you're trying to do would be a lot easier if you didn't make a ROM hack, and used a general game maker instead. For example, RPG Maker XP with poccil's starter kit. That's because a lot of things on your list involve modifying the actual game code, which is a lot easier when you use a high-level programming language instead of ASM. Of course, there are disadvantages (for example, no 3D effects, lack of animations, and the $60 fee to purchase RMXP); overall, it's your choice. It will just be a lot harder, and take a lot longer, if you try getting all those into a ROM hack.

well, personally i think a ROM hack would be easier (for me) because i know absolutely nothing about programming and stuff, but i can easily use software thats made to do a certain thing, i would ask gamefreak if they would give me any advice (because i'm interested in game designing, and pokemon is an awesome game) but i can't find a contact us + their website is in japanese
plus i have confidence that the people working on the dpp modding tools, will be able to figure out stuff much more complicated than what i want done.

That is the exact mentality that causes some people over at the Game Dev to call ROM Hackers lazy.
In fact, true ROM hackers are anything but lazy.
Again its not about if it can be done, its about how long it takes. Just be warned that you might be waiting years to start doing what you want.
OR you can spend those years learning programming.

well, a lot of those points i can live without doing.
the most important things for my hack would be the map editor and the ability to add different forms to the pokemon. and the shiny events
if i can't change the boxes or the pokedex no. without messing other stuff up then i won't do it.
also i do have another question which i forgot about
do you know if/how i can add extra types into the game?

At the moment I don't know if anyone knows how to add types. I know where the type (dis)/advantages table is but I don't know how much other data would need to be changed.
