Hi there, I'm new to this place, and to hacking itself. I'm currently trying to hack Fire Red to create my own little story, but unfortunately, when I try to use the Elite Map's bundled apps like Bewildered and Dexter, I get an error message that says "Supported ROM, but Wild Pokemon base is unspecified." and I've tried various roms. However, the roms work fine with Advance Map and other apps, is there any solution? Forgive me if this has already been answered.
Well, I would suggest looking around the toolbox here...
It seems you are using a bunch of old and outdated tools, many of which can cause bug in your game.
May I recomend using:
YAPE - The best pokemon editor to date
XSE - A scripting tool that comes with an extensive command database, and a guide on how to make your own custom events, and use some other important tools.
Advance Trainer (A-Trainer) - The best trainer editor to date.
Advance Map (A-Map) - The best map editor to date, be sure you are using version 1.92, if not, get it.
unLZgba - Should have come with Elite Map, but you should be sure you get the one from 'HackMew's Toolbox' in the toolbox section. It is a program that lets you import and export Images in the game, as well as some Tilemaps...
Cyclone - An old tilemap creator / editor
NTME - A newer Tilemap creator / editor, that has some different features
Sappy - A music importer / exporter... I recommend getting really used to hacking before looking for this one...
That is really all the tools you need to do just about ANYTHING you need in a ROM... hacking and stuff...
If you are using FireRed version, be sure to use version 1.0, since the released 1.1 has differences in it, and might bug out... you can check the version of your ROM by placing it into A-Map, and looking at the bottom left corner of the screen...
Have fun, and read alot of tutorials, you might be pretty new, but I was too at one point, practice makes perfect, TRUST me, good luck!
(I didn't give you any links because I want you to learn to search around the forums, get used to the site, you'll be coming here often if you wanna be a ROM hacker... lots of important information and tutorials can be found here...)
