thank you, but when I go to run it it says COMDLG32.OCX or one of it's dependancies is not registered. I'm using windows 7 if that helps

download the comdlg---thingy through Google and either put it in the same folder where A-tack is, or put it in the Windows folder...

Tried that. Didn't work. I'll find a work around though. =)
BTW, would someone be able to tutor me in scripting?? I use PKSV and I've looked and looked and looked and looked for a good tutorial and I've found several but so far i've only been able to comprehend the first lesson about basic talking scripts. Seriously, I'll type exactly what the tutorial tells me to type and it still won't work! im making a ruby hack and PKSV has been the easiest scripter so far, but i'm really confused. and we all know how important scripting is for even a semi-decent hack.

You should use the up-to-date scripting tool, which is eXtreme Script Editor. A nice tutorial is diegoisawesome's XSE tutorial. For me it's easier to understand than PKSV.

If you meant that no pallette fits the whole tileset, then that is true. Each pallette is used for different parts of the tileset. You insert tiles into the tileset using different pallettes, as each pallette is only 16 colours (1 of which is the background colour), so naturally not all tiles can use the same pallette.

Which variables are best to use for scripts if I am using Emerald as a base ROM? As in variables for making scripts only happen once and for level scripts etc.

So say I wanted to go and edit a bunch of one tileset, I would have to individually go in an edit a piece with 1 pallet, import and export with a different pallet to edit another part. Correct?

If they are using different pallettes, then yes. Some tiles do use the same pallette, such as the trees and the grass.

You can look around the Tutorial section to look on some ASM guides. You can look at this one or this one. There may be more in that forum. ;) Just look around.

Adding on to Destiny Demon's post, you should definitely check out JPAN's ASM document and HackMew's Knowledge. JPAN's tutorial is helpful for understanding the most commonly used opcodes in the THUMB instruction set while HackMew's tutorials (yes plural; the second one is on the third page) are more specific to Pokémon and also teach you how to apply knowledge of the commands to actually hacking a game.

Thank you both. I will study it xD.

Basically... you need to edit the .dib file in paint to the palettes used on that tileset. Otherwise they'll simply be screwed up. Just remember, whenever you move any tiles anywhere on the tileset from another file, you have to change the colours to the colours on the tileset. The best tip is to put all the different colours of the palette onto the tileset, so then you can use the colour changing tool to use those different colours.

From the look of your example, you only want to change the name of the trainer. If so, then try to use HackMew's A-Trainer tool.

When you download XSE, and you use AdvanceMap to look through the maps and all that. Be sure to set AdvanceMap's script editor to XSE though, to do that, click settings then click Choose script editor then select where XSE.exe is, whichever folder you've got it in. Then simply click on any script and click the 'open script' button. I'm sure one of the scripts will have one of those scripts somewhere. I doubt there is a list of those scripts however, but my tip would be the best way to go then type it down on a .txt file (Notepad).

I'm sure XSE contains a list of flags that are free and unused... or flags that are used. One or the other.

I had a really major unfixable glitch in my hack, but all I had done was map the first city and route, and add new tiles. So, I added the first city and new tiles to the new rom, however, when I tried to insert the first route, instead of replacing the first route from FireRed, it added it under the Pallet Town header, despite the fact I had 3:19 in the insert thingamajig. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to completely remap the route? Because it's a big map and I don't want to have to remap it all...

That's the problem. When I try to insert it over route 1, it adds it under the Pallet Town header. Another question, if I was to repoint the pointers leading to the Pokemon overworld you surf on, would it work? Because I inserted a new overworld and now it looks glitchy.

Oh right. Just go into the Header view, change the name from the dropdown list to, say, Route 1, and click Change Dimensions, and then hit Change Name. Then you can rename that to whatever.
