    • Ok I have another question for editing Pokemon Ruby, though this one may be kinda of so obvious that I'll be smacking myself in the forehead for asking but, how do I create an offset for an event say like an item?

    I'm using XSE and I read the little tutorial thing on what script to use in order to make it so you can find an item, however, I tried to save but the save option is greyed out, and I tried the hot keys but they did nothing. Later I thought I could just type in random numbers and letters in the offset, hot key the save and attempt to see if the item was there but it wasn't. (go figure...)

    #dynamic 0x800000

    #org @start
    additem 0x5D 0x1
    end
    Click to expand...

    This is what I'm putting into the program so I can find a sunstone in a certain area of the game. (I can't believe the only way to obtain it is by talking to an old man in the space station) What I'm trying to do is make it so that you can "mine" for the evo stones in the Fossil Cave. I could find the events for the other 5 stones, all I had to do was make the overworld sprite invisible so they don't look like just some random Pokeballs sitting on rocks. That and I had to make their ID 0000 so you can always comeback later to get some more stones if need be.

    Please help.

    EDIT: What I mean by Fossil Cave, its just a map I made were you can catch the first form fossil Pokemon like Kabuto and such as well as Clefairy and Jigglypuff due to the fact that they HAVE to live near moonstones

    end

    no such thing as additem :P jus sayin

    Now, I have a question. Is it possible to use trainer sprites with more than 16 colors? I've made this one, and it's 21 colors, but I don't really want to part with them...if it's not possible, I guess I will have to edit some out :P

    • Right. So, i'm hacking my starters, and It will keep the description of the original starter (Let's say it's Bulbasaur). Im not going to, but say I used A-Starter to hack in a Mew, how can I make it say my own text like this; "Mew, the New Species Pokemon, it is easy to raise" Instead of it showing a picture of Mew and saying crap about Bulbasaur.

    Edit the text using XSE open the script with it and edit the text that should work pretty well.

    Okay, so I suspect I'm probably going to be told this isn't possible, but how would one go about setting up the hero/heroine backsprites in FireRed so that they don't share the same palette anymore? Because this is really getting frustrating. I'd also like to know how to do the same with the overworld sprites.

    It's possible to make the backsprites not to share the pallete but, it would be hard and would require hex editing and as for OW's there's already a tut made for it so it can be done in FireRed and you need Jpan's Engine and hex editing to do it.

    Here are the offset you can copy paste the offset's in XSE to decompile them. And you can have XSE Open scripts in A-map.

    Bulbasaur's Script - 0x169BAB
    Squirtle's Script - 0x169D78
    Charmander's Script - 0x169DAE

    The script's for this event's are quite complicated so I think it will be easier if you make a starter script from scratch.

    How do I prevent AdvanceMap from breaking the music in Emerald? I know it involves changing the ini it uses, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to change.

    • Ok.... this is severely irritating. I tried to change the script to create a Sun stone spawning point by changing the script of another item (I tested it on a PP UP in the route outside of the Fossil Cave but now the event doesn't work even though I the offset back to the original. :s )

    Can someone help me find out to create the offset needed to make a "pokeball" item?

    Here are some screenshots of what I was trying to do.

    How do I find and edit the Prof. Oak sprite in the intro? It doesn't seem to be on unlz-GBA (there's one but it didn't change the Oak in the intro when I changed that.)

    Okay, after looking around a bit I have no idea what to do about this, so:

    1. Are we allowed to make requests for ASM?
    2. If so, where can I do that? Just in the main ROM Hacking section?

    I'd also like to know how to do the same with the overworld sprites.
    Click to expand...
    Okay, first, you need a program called IrfanView. If you have ever done spriting, you'll know this program. What you need is to get all the OWs onto one paint image, for example:
    Spoiler:


    Make sure there are no boxes in between the sprites, unlike in the image above. Next, you need to index them by clicking [Image>Decrease Colour Depth> 16 Colours] onn IrfanView, and save it as the 'Original Folder'. Next, split them up again and insert them one by one. I know this process is tiring, but I don't think there is any other ways.

    Alternatively you can do what I like to.

    1) Change the palette of the overworld you're replacing. (Unless you're using an existing overworld in which you can ignore this step.)
    2) Export the overworld you're replacing and open it in a program that supports indexed images. (MS Paint pre-windows 7 and Photoshop are the best options in my opinion.)
    3) Past your overworld on top of the old one and import it into NSE or OWRE. (You'll have to do this for each individual frame.)

    All good to know, except I already know how to do that and that isn't what I was asking at all. What I was asking was how to stop the hero and heroine OW sprites from reading from the same palette. But it doesn't matter anyway because I changed the heroine's sprites to use the same palette as the hero. Which brings me to my next question:

    If the backsprites for the hero and heroine use the same palette like everything I've found on the subject indicates, why is my hero backsprite displaying the correct palette, when my heroine backsprite is still for some reason using the default palette? I would post images but, well, I can't. Because of my post count.

    I have found a lot of cases where the same palette is copied around in several places, so while they may use the same one, it might also be different.

    I suggest using the VBA/APE method of finding palletes to really see the exact one the backsprite is using
