I'll try rephrase this for a third try.
How would I:
a) import FireRed tilesets and trainer sprites to Ruby?
b) take player's pokemon and give them new choices of pokemon? ( much like Battle Factory)
c) make the player spawn with all badges, national dex and a pokemon already.
thanks
a) Save/ export the tilesets and block data from FR in Advance Map's block editor then import the blocks and tiles into Ruby. You'll have to change the behaviour and background byte accordingly, since the HEX values in one game will not have the same effects in the other.
As for the trainer sprites, you could use a tool like
UNlz.GBA or
NSE (
here is NSE's trainer sprites plugin), save/ export the sprites in FR and then reinsert them into Ruby.
b) If you want to take Pokemon away, you'll have to use
HackMew's ASM routine. As for choosing Pokemon, perhaps you could use a multichoice script but it is a bit limiting since you won't be able to see them like in the Battle Factory. You could also give the player six random Pokemon, allow the player to check their moves/ stats in their party screen and then chose three to keep, using the ASM routine to remove the three that they didn't choose. Either way, if you don't make your own ASM routines, the ways you let the player choose their Pokemon are going to be limited since you will be relying on scripting commands.
c) You could use a
level script on the starting map that does all of those things. Find the flags, specials and anything else you need to activate the badges/ Pokedex and then use the 'givepokemon' command to let the player have a Pokemon. If you make it correctly, the level script will only activate once and give you everything you want.
I'm pretty sleepy so this might all sound like gibberish
or it is just plain wrong :D
I've looked in this forum and on google as best as I can, and I'm still looking for this:
A tool that easily allows me to edit Pokemon Abilities. A program that can turn Sturdy into it's Gen 5 style or allow me to revamp Blaze/Overgrow/Torrent/etc.
Does anyone know of one? I don't want to mess with ASM editting since I'm just hacking FireRed for me and my friends.
Edit: Also, I've seen mention of Jambo editting Gen IV/V evolutions into Fire Red. Is there a patch for this? I'm unable to find one
At this point in time there is no such tool.
Jambo hasn't released his
amazing patch to the public yet. However, he has said that it will be out eventually so keep an eye on the thread :P
