Hmm... I tried to open the trainer plugin w/NSE and it said it's not compatible with AXVE (Ruby). Is this because the plugins NSE comes with are only for FR/LG?

Never used NSE before, I'm just trying out what you said to do (with the Ruby ROM and trainer backsprite).

Yeah, didn't know you weren't on Fire Red...

You'll have to use Tile Molester instead....

Advance Text...
You can use Google to get/download it.

Hey, I'm a total noooob to hacking ROMS. I was wondering: how do you change your old tileset (e.g. Pokemon Emerald) into a new tileset (e.g. Pokemon HeartGold) in Advance Map? I would prefer a simple explanation if possible. Thanks! :t183:

There's a tutorial on how to do so.
Check the tutorials section.

I have a question regarding Pokemon Black/White.
How would I go about changing the default Pokemon names? As in, if you battle the Pokemon in the wild, it will have the same name that you chose.

Alright I tried this mother out on FR with NSE. First I got the backsprite of Meowth, copied the image and palette offset and replaced the hero backsprite I&P offset with Meowth's. When I loaded the ROM, the hero backsprite had not changed, and when I opened NSE again to look at the hero backsprite, it displayed a mess of pixels.

Could this be because I edited the Hero B.S. through the bookmarks on NSE? Because I couldn't find it anywhere else in the ROM...

Well, first of all you've gotta understand the hero backpsrite is a series of pictures, not just one static image.

It's also the wrong width/height, the hero Backsprites are pretty large compared to a pokemon sprite..

Finally, chances are you didn't overwrite the correct pointer, there are numerous problems that may have occurred.
Try asking in the NSE thread, or maybe someone with a more direct answer can help you here, I myself have been up for over 37 hours, I'm sleepy but I can't sleep cause I'm an insomniac.

Sorry I can't do more.

Also another Q or others, what is the offset/number in unlz-gba for nidoran in the Professor Oak intro? (once again fire red)
Click to expand...
Well if you download a program called NSE; that already has the offsets for the back battle sprite of the boy and girl in the bookmarks. And Oak is really easy to find in unLZ if you just set it to black and white and go through the numbers (and ocassionally changing it to 256 colour mode if it's just loads of random squares).

I have tried to add a sprite into my rom but it does not work!!
I saw this video on youtube on how to do them these are the steps i done everything right.
1. Changed the background of my sprite to a color that is not on there, made sure it was 64x64 size and saved it as png.
2. Edited the image on irfan view by decreasing the image depth to 16 and on the edit palette i changed the background color to the left most palette square color and changed the left hand square color to the background color. Saved as new
3. Searched for free space with hex memorised the offset.
4. Using paint i copied the old sprite onto the indexed one
5. On UNLZ i found the sprite i wanted to changed then i imported the indexed sprite. I then clicked write to rom and typed the offset i memorized into the export image box then ok. I unclicked the export image then clicked export palette.

I done all of this correctly but a message said image not indexed D:
I then done all of this again but i didnt do number 4 it worked but there is a black background behind the sprite :'(
If you could help me out people that would be superb oh and btw im using windows 7 if that helps

Open your newly indexed sprite with paint, as well as your unindexed sprite.
Select All + Copy your unindexed sprit and then paste it on your indexed sprite.
After that, save (not save as...) your indexed sprite. If it will ask you to overwrite the existing file, click Yes.

To double-check, open your indexed sprite with IrfanView once again and see if it still has 16 palletes.

By the way, your free space offset should end with '0'... Like AE8900

Try using Wichu's h*ttp://w*ww.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=196143 (remove the asterisks until I have 15 posts) Advance Sprite Editor. You can insert easy that way, without having to index or manually repoint.

Ok, I have run into an annoying glitch in my hack. When I use the max repel, it only lasts for about ten steps and then wears off. Anyone have any idea to how to fix this? It is seriously going to get really annoying >_<

First get the older version of paint since window seven paint ruined transparency

Make sure in irfanview that you decreased the colors to 16
then pallet edit pallet change the first color only make sure to save it as something else save it then open both up in ms paint copy the first image that isn't indexed then open up the one which is indexed then copy the first image onto the second one (you know the indexed one) then paste then I believe you are done

I have no idea about item structure, so you should probably use thethethethe's item editor to edit the strength of the Max Repel. Change the second special value to 250 and it should be fine. If not, I don't know what to tell you :<

So, is it possible to make more battle themes into Fire Red? Like, make it so I can battle a trainer with one music theme, a rival with one music theme, an event trainer with one music theme, a Gym Leader with one music theme and a Champion with one music theme?

In other words, instead of having four different battle themes have like, six or seven that play on one kind of trainer each (besides for Gym Leader, that one works on Gym Leader and Elite Four).

I've asked this question twice before and have only gotten a response that didn't answer my question, which was my fault because I hadn't done a good job writing a question that people can understand.

This tutorial should help However, there are a few problems with this method (mainly when you lose a battle), but generally it works quite well. :3

I've been trying to use YAPE, but the Help File will either:

A) Not be able to find the help files if in a spot other than Documents
or
B) Will load the help files... But not the tabs if in Documents

So, anybody have a .txt version of YAPE's help?

Anything on converting a GameBoy's GBS file to MIDI? Or am I screwed on redoing Pokemon Diamond's soundtrack?
