    Okay I made a new thread about this but whatever. I used PokeDSPic to edit the Pokemon sprites, however...when I replaced Chikorita's sprite it said the file wasn't 8bpp indexed and probably wouldn't work. How do I save a file in said format? I've tried googling it with no results.

    have you tried reading the tutorials? i'm pretty sure that there's a way to fix that using the guide included in one of the posts.

    If you can link me to said tutorial then I will. The only tutorial I saw was for D/P/Plt and it was about colour editing not completely replacing the image with a different image altogether.

    • But will it be "indexed"?

    EDIT: Ergh, it still showed Chikorita in game...oh well. I give up.

    Well 8BPP is the native GIF format, so if your really having issues, just save it as a .GIF file then reopen it separately and save as a .PNG.
    I'm pretty sure that should work, though I'm very limited, as my PokeDSPic doesn't work (Its just my computer)

    i think that when hg/ss hacking progresses, someone should definitely do a "remake" of fr/lg the same way zel made shiny gold from fire red.

    anyone with me?

    With the maps already being there, all you needed to do is script.

    And a lot of your scripting is basically done with Johto. A combination of HGSS and FRLG would be fun, though. Johto would be empty space, though as the game is 121MB if you trim it.

    How about a hack with some originality? The last thing I want to see is umpteen remakes of a remake. It's just plain stupid.

    Maybe if making original hacks of any 4th generation game was feasible at this point.

    I need help converting my modded logo of the game into the games picture format (.rgcn) so I can put it in the game

    RCGN files are also the same as NCGR files

    Nothing is feasible at this point if you're relying on other people to make tools for you.

    We're doing our best to ignore them because they are not relevant to the topic. This is for HGSS findings. Questions are not findings, therefore they don't belong here.

    It's feasible, but to create a new map (entirely) you'd take up a long time. Longer in the case of HGSS. By that, I mean 4 months to switch 1 house with a proper PokeCenter and not killing the game.

    What is a proper PokeCenter? As far as I know it takes 1 minute switch a house with a pokecenter (Or less if you have practice).

    No.. The thread is clearly named "Pokemon Heart Gold/Soul Silver HACKING. And wanting to change out the logo is clearly Hacking.
