I'd like to know this too... It's the last glitchy bit left. The background is there, then random colours from the palette slide across, followed by the background again. Makes the whole thing look unprofessional.

I took a looksy at the origanal tilemap and the pallet is filled with 'F's. Maybe that's how press start flashes. If not that, then maybe "Press Start" has a designated area for it to flash.

Surely somebody can help me with this?

Since the positioning is messed up, it suggests either the .raw file is messed up or you inserted a different tilset than the one used in NTME

[Midori]

That may well be part of the problem, but the other part is that FIRERED is NOT what I inputted into the slot where the title used to be. If somebody could do part three of this tutorial, I'm sure my problem would go away.

I don't know how to get the 2011 and the other 2000s? I don't know where to get them.

Thanx! This is Awesome!

So I edited the words "Fire Red Version" and everything worked fine. I got it inserted into the rom without a problem. But now whenever I play the rom, I get to the title screen and everything goes black. What did I do wrong?

This tutorial help me alot its awsome!!!!!

This is probably a very stupid question, but how do I make that tile transparent?
I tried to use my own background, but couldn't work that step out, so I skipped it,
but when you load the game in VBA, my background only has outlines, and you can see the
original background though it.

[javinor]

Change the fiest color in the pallette to the one you want to be transparent, in his example, the black

[bache]

I tried that, but it made all the other colours screw up.

[bache]

Ok, so I managed to get past that.
My next problem is that the original flames show up where that transparent spot is.
How do I get rid of them?

And yes, I have not changed the background. Why? Did the charizard and then made a backup of the ROM. Did the background and when I get to the title screen the music carries on and I get a black screen. All I want to do is palette edit the 2 red bars. Who has the offset for APE for those? Is it the background palette?

The offset is 00EAE094. I have a .ini file with a lot of offsets. Just paste it into your APE folder, and look through the bookmarks.

[Scaterboy]

Wow, thank you very much :D

[humanguy2000]

I accidently pressed enter. Now it says I deleted my post because "The hack was" I need to change it to: "The hack is no longer being made" Anyway, nice tut. Here is my result:

Spoiler:

My epic skills made the screwy things appear. I can't fix this. Any ideas?

[AlexAhnon]

This tutorial is awesome and very easy to follow.
Also, you can remove or replace the flames from the background if you want to.
In FireRed (U) go to 141 (or somewhere close that looks like flames) and replace the image with desired type of flames or simply overwrite it with a blank image.

Once again, awesome tutorial! Will help a lot of people!

It might be your ROM.
Try again and if it still appears, then I don't really know what is causing this.

I'm getting a strange error. The first attempt worked to some extent, until it looked disgusting in the game. Now on my second attempt, after I indexed my sprite and checked that the bit depth was correct, I opened the TileSet on NTME and got this message: a 4BPP TileSet can't have more than 1024 tiles. Your TileSet has 10223616 tiles. But for some reason I am able to open my non-indexed sprite O__O

Oh, and I'm loading my RAW it says the file size is too big. Help, please?

[TheChroniclesofLance]

this doesn't work

the NTME file doesn't load at all into unLZ

[Mr. Magius]

...and here is my end result. This is supposed to be a Venusaur, mind you.

[MikeMatt15]

[wollweepop]

You probably forgot to make the tilemap and insert it. Try that.

[PeregrineFig]

I found that (for me, anyway) the numbers on the tutorial for the Charizard were wrong, the tileset is at 2010 and the tilemap is at 2011. For those having issues with weird graphical glitches, try changing those two numbers instead and see if it works correctly.
