[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

Ah yes I have a copy of that page in here with me. Even the one about adding 255 Diplomas. But can't we do something like display them order to make an illusion of animation without the press of a button?

Like this:
Display diploma1
Display diploma2
etc.

Just without pressing a button.

Won't a script event when the player steps on that block activate it?

Well, you would need to rewrite the routine which displays the diploma to loop through, each time bringing up a new image. Most likely would require some type of ASM.

Hello guys, I need some help. I made a simple talking script for my hack. When I open the game with VBA, talking to that person does nothing. But when I open the game with No$Gba, the script successfully works.

Okay Thanks!

NEW QUESTIONS!
1) Is it possible to make an item that will let you access BILL's PC with JPAN's Clean FR Patch(not the engine)? I tried special 0x3C but it will just always return me to the Start Menu. :(

2) Is it possible to make an item that can raise a Pokemon Stats by holding it? (Like an armor and *hit) Same conditions as the one above.

If you ran the PC script wholesale from the item it should work. Can't see any reason why not. Problem is, that means tracking down the script pointer for the behaviour byte for that tile. That's not easy.

Yes, but it's complex and would require a fair bit of ASM and knowledge of the battle engine.

Well, to prevent leaving the town by fly, you could run a map script which, when a flag is set (grunts are in the town) uses a simple ASM routine (very, very simple actually) to change the maps type for the time being to indoor. Then you can't fly!

To prevent people from flying to the town, you need to clear the map flags associated with the fly location of said town, which you can reset later.

Fantastic, thanks :D and am I right in thinking that you can set where you go when you lose a battle with asm, too? I think I'll be spending my time learning ASM for the next few weeks xD

This one is quite simple: it is a scripting command called "sethealingplace". ~~Look it up in one of the XSE tutorials, since I am too lazy:p.~~

Never mind.....

JPAN's clean patch removed all scripts too, so I'm pretty sure the PC script was removed too.

Robin: If you can find it in a regular clean FR rom, you could just recompile it back into your rom. It isn't that hard to find, just takes some creativity. I've done it on Ruby.

Surely he wouldn't have removed scripts like this which would inherently break the game? Only people with ASM nous would be able to replace them, which is inherently very unfair. You may be right, but if so, then that patch is one of the worst patches available.

Here; I shall find the script in a clean rom and then search for it in his hacked engine (just for anyone who doesn't know, the hacked engine is based on the clean patch).

It is just a regular script, so it really doesn't take asm to write. Just a knowledge of all of the specials.

Edit: On a clean FR rom, the PC script is at 0x1A6963. Now I shall search for it in the cleaned rom.

Edit2: Jambo, I was semi-wrong, it does exist in the game at said offset. However, it is only 156 lines. The script in the regular FR rom is 238 lines. So, I don't know what exactly was removed.... Probably those lines and small snippets of code which are used often by many different scripts.

Edit3: The entire section where you can check your pokedex and all related strings and small code snippets that go along with it have been removed. Did JPAN mess with the specials that deal with this so he took a precaution on it? Or do you think those parts were shared with other scripts?

Edit4: Here are both scripts to save some time:

But this is if you apply the Behavior Byte Hack of the tool.

Does it run smoothly even without the Pokedex Thing? The script you found?

If you click on Professor Oak's PC, then it just says "link closed" if you choose to rate your pokedex. Otherwise, it works fine.

It depends: Do you want the features offered by the Engine? If so, then take it. If not, just use the clean one.

Also, that problem you (?) had, where the player was always fishing, I'm getting that. It only happens when you use already saved save files. It doesn't occur when just starting a new game.

Looking at DavidJCobb's posts and JPAN's instruction manual, the vars used for his runtime trainer customization are vars which were previously used for scripted events that have been removed (vars 4080-408F). So, they must have been set to something else which is what caused the problems with the sprites. Just reset those to 00 and they should work fine.

kearnseyboy6 · Apr 23, 2013

When I use trainerbattle 0x01 in a script the DNS by Primediagla stops working after the battle, until you enter and exit a house. Any reason why? trainerbattle 0x0 works fine however o_O.

Aryan143 · Apr 23, 2013

Since my question was on the last post of the last page, I think it got skipped. So I will post it again-

Hello guys, I need some help. I made a simple talking script for my hack. When I open the game with VBA, talking to that person does nothing. But when I open the game with No$Gba, the script successfully works.

Kurapika · Apr 23, 2013

^ I don't think you will get a good help if you don't post the script here! ;)

My question is: Is there a way to increase the shinies encounter chance? How about if I want to give a certain trainer a Shiny Pokémon?
EDIT: Also, sorry for asking too many times. >.< But, is it possible to make a battle not send you to the Pokécenter if you lose? ... The only way I can do it so far, is using that 0x9 battle (or was it 0x3?) the one where the wild Professor Oak annoys you with his boring talk. lol
Anyway, I don't think it would be easy to be done if it was possible... So, is it possible to make a script that does some Hex editing? To allow me to, say, edit the description/effect/...etc of a Move and such.

Aryan143 · Apr 23, 2013

There is no problem with the script because it works fine in No$Gba. The problem is that the script doesn't works in VBA.

Your question was not skipped, I saw it, however I had no answers. Though, I just thought of a possible reason just now: are you, by any chance, hacking Emerald?

Also, please do post the script, there could be something funky in it that VBA doesn't like but No$ does. Don't just assume that since it worked on one, that it wasn't the script's fault.

Aryan143 · Apr 24, 2013

No, I am hacking FireRed. It also has JPAN's hacked engine applied. Here is the script but as I said before, it is just a simple talking script-
