1. unLZ-GBA.
2. Instead of making patches, a smarter idea could be making a little tool. Even if you might use LIPS, LIPS cannot support expanded ROMs, which could be troublesome at times.
If you don't know how to make tools and/or you don't feel like to, then you could always use a hex editor.

1. Ah, excellent. I'll have to find the index by hand, I guess?

2. Yeah, I don't know how to make tools... as far as using a hex editor, how would I know which addresses to replace?

Just out of curiosity, how do you rom lock a Rom?

Like everyone else said, you can simply edit the header. However, if you really want to fool someone, you might try looking into repointing the map data (as I recall colcolstyles saying a while back in some thread). To use his words, that will fool all but the smartest of hackers.

Just quickly, how does the wild Pokémon rarities work in A-Map? I know the lower it is, the rarer, but is there any set % or something of each slot? In grass, btw.

1. Yeah, as I'm too lazy right now. Besides, it's better if you find it yourself, because the actual index depends on the ROM.

2. It's easy as long as you use a hex editor which has a compare feature. You take a ROM, copy it and then modify the overworld sprites you want. Then you compare the ROMs and there you go.

Repointing map data? Nah, there are definitely smarter ways to fool all but the smartest hackers.

It should be like this:

  1. 20%
  2. 20%
  3. 10%
  4. 10%
  5. 10%
  6. 10%
  7. 5%
  8. 5%
  9. 4%
  10. 4%
  11. 1%
  12. 1%

I can't evolve my Charmander. When it should say "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR CHARMANDER EVOLVED INTO A CHARMELEON", it freezes. Could this be because I edited Charmeleon's name and pokedex entry in YAPE? D=

that dosent answer my question how do you create a pallay for a overworld sprite? please im begging you help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Click to expand...

You can automatically import a Palette when you import a sprite, however, it will overwrite a Palette already in-game.
I don't know any way of creating new Palettes, so I probably think you gotta overwrite one that already exists.

You need to re-create the tilemap. Use Nameless Tile Map Editor for that and then insert the .raw file into the room with Unlz.gba. Not sure where it is though.
Look in the Tutorials section of the forums and look for a tutorial there.

Depends, did you mess anything up? And is the name and PokéDex entry the only things you edited?

You can find it in last bar of the map in A-Map.

Set it as your script editor in Advance map, click on a sprite, and press "Open Script"

I have a question, now.

I'm trying to make a world map, but now I need NTME, but it's in a rar. file.
Is there another program for tile mapping or a way to get NTME as a zip. file?
