I didn't. That's because it's made up of about 30-40 small hacks each doing their individual little thing. Honestly, it's simply not feasible to give out the code for it. If you're wanting formes, you'll just need to wait til I've released the 649 Patch.

Hey does anyone knows How can I add new moves to a pokemon's moveset without replacing the old one? For eg. I want to add Giga Drain to Venusaur's moveset without replacing any old move. I tried YAPE and Poke Edit Pro but they can't do that.

You have to delete some moves from other Pokemon so you will have spaces do that to Pokemon you don't plan using on your hack since you only have a limited number of moves to give to all the Pokemon.

The problem is that my hack is a 386 hack and I plan on improving all the pokemons.

Them you have to get rid of the moves that come pre-evolution. I know it's a pain but it is the best way without major hex editing.

That idea completely skipped my mind. Thanks!

Hey everyone!
I started scripting 4 years ago(!) when I was working on a hack, but ended up leaving it because of other issues.
I'm back and trying to work on a new hack with my girlfriend, and I'm trying to remember how to script.
Here is my script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x2D538A
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x888
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Vivian's House. \p...What's this?
givepokemon 0x25 0x5D 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @3 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
setflag 0x888
msgbox @4 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 gosub @name
release
end

#org @name
call 0x1A74EB
return

#org @3
= [blue_fr]IT'S A\nHAUNTER!

#org @4
= [blue_fr]Give this dood\na name?

#org @done
msgbox @2 0x6
release
end

#org @2
= Vivian's House.

and I think it looks good, and I think I compiled it right, but when I go in game I get nothing when I click on the mailbox. I don't know if there was a problem compiling it or putting the offset in AdvanceMap (the dynamic offset in the script and the AdvanceMap script are the same). Can someone help me out? I also am not sure about how to properly compile, I just batch compile each time and it says it gets saved. Help!

The part of your script I bolded goes after the green part, and the orange stuff are things that I think is wrong. Red are changes I made. Look at the spoiler in the quote for the script.

OK, and the call thing opens up the give nickname screen

Ohhh, I see what you're doing. Don't you need an "8" before the offset though?

I'm honestly not sure. I just tried to make the script as close I could as the one in diegoisawesome's tutorial.
Also I tried the script and I got a fanfare, but no message popped up and it doesn't say I got the Pokemon.

[FBI agent]

Try something like this:

Spoiler:

givepokemon 0xID 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setvar 0x8004 0x0
bufferpokemon 0x0 0xID
fadescreen 0x1
special 0x9E
waitstate
msgbox2 0x8741A24 '"[player] recieved the [buffer1]!"
fanfare 0x101
waitmsgbox
waitfanfare
waitkeypress

I just decompiled and cropped one of my older scripts which was similar. Remember to fill in the orange (and change the pointers).

[Zanny77]

Ok, so I just went in and did a simple little message script and tried to put it into to see if it's my scripting that's the problem, but this one won't work either. I think the issue is how I put in the script. Here's what I do:
1. Go to FSF and find the next Offset.
2. Go to XSE, and open my ROM
3. Put the offset into the little space that says 'offset' and has a small text box to put it in
4. Script
5. Save script as a .rbc
6. Batch compile the script into the ROM. When it saves, it has each part of the script that starts with "@" and has a different offset for each
7. I go into advancemap, and place the offset next to the @start into the part of advancemap that says script offset
8. Save, patch, run ROM

Woah, that's ancient lol. Download the new XSE and just use #dynamic 0x800000 instead of doing steps 1-7. You should get something like this:



Take note of the highlighted @start offset. Insert it into advance map (with the "$" before it). If you still can't get it to work, I'm sure there are videos of the same process on youtube or something.

Go into settings.ini and change autoupdate to 0.

Alright! Just downloaded 1.1.1, put in a simple script and got it the simple script to work! Thanks a lot! I'll try again using the other simplish script, then go for the one I put here. Thanks for all your help!


EDIT: Just got the givepokemon script to work also! Thanks for all your help!

Does anyone know where I can share my ideas for Rom Hacking.

Hack stories:

Hack ideas in general can be brought up in the ROM hacking discussions (I think :P). Research and research questions can be brought up in the R&D section.

[Vicktor Black]

Thank You I have been searching for a thread like this.

[SchokoInc]

Very quick question :)
Is there any way to edit the attacks a pokémon learns through move tutor? E.g. I replace the move-tutor-move for the softboiled-tutor with fire punch (with Hack Mew's Move Tutor Editor)
How can I change which pokémon can learn these attacks?
Thanks in advance :)

(Some other small questions:
What bytes do i have to change if I want the regional pokédex in fire red contain pokémon 1-252?
Nothing more at the moment :) )

For the move tutor thing, you can change a Pokemon's move pool through YAPE (also in the toolbox).
For the National dex problem, I have no idea how you would limit it to being only the first 1-252 :D
What's wrong with just enabling the whole thing?

[SchokoInc]

Well YAPE only lets me edit level-moves, TM-compatibility and HM-compatibility. How do I edit move-tutor-compatibility? :(

And having the regional pokédex going up to 251 is quite important for my hack :) I've also read about it being only a few byte changes several times :)

Doesn't tutor compatibility depend on learn-able moves? I don't know for sure, but that sounds like a logical way to program it.

Not if he means the single-move tutors. The ones that teach one specific move. I'm pretty sure that with these, if the Pokemon knows the move in it's move set at some point, the move tutor will be able to teach it. Other than that, I think that compatibility for those moves must be based in type.

Why don't you give it a try? Set the move tutor to teach a move that is not in a pokemon's move pool but is the same type as the Pokemon and try to make him learn it.


For the move tutor's that help you remember old moves, it is just going to read the moves you find in YAPE that could have been learned up to your pokemon's level.

[SchokoInc]

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhh no :D

I meant move tutors not the move relearner :D

Move tutors are for example the two guys after Mt. Moon who teach Mega Punch and Mega Kick to your Pokémon or the guy who teaches Softboiled :D

And I'm pretty sure it isn't type based as not all normal typed pokémon can learn softboiled :(

Especially as I want that for example fire punch can be learned by every pokémon who has the physical ability to use it :) (Machamp or Electabuzz for example)
