Your tileset needs to have a certain size. It depends on a few other factors. As for the rest of your queries, I urge you to take a look at these tutorials (assuming you're using a Firered rom):


Completely Hacking the Fire Red Title Screen by DawnRyder
256/240 color Titlescreen (Firered)



They're a good start to things.

I think you failed to read "WORLD MAP"

Yeah, they sort of helped, but I don't know if all the values and steps in those resources apply to inserting a World Map, or if there are special steps needed.

Anyways, as of right now I have a fully coloured map at the size of 240x160 px.

I'll answer the first part of your question.
There is a flag for controlling the difficulty of the Champion which you can very well use. 0x0844 is the one.

I'm a bit confused about what you exactly mean.. Are you trying to create night all the time?
In that case, I can't remember exactly what must be done, but try setting 'Night' timings to 5:00 - 4:59 and the others as 5:59- 5:59, so on and so forth. That is, keep all the rest of the timings to the same value for 'From' to 'To'. I hope you understood what I meant. ^^;

Whoa there calm down. Haha, anyways, GBA hacking is far much easier than NDS hacking if you're a beginner... Although if you still want to NDS hack, then there are some guides in the Tutorials forum... Here is one for overworlds. Here's one for sprites into D/P/Pt.

Hye guys. Im a new hacker so i started things off simple by taking Pokémon Emerald and just adding pokemon, i also 4 or 5 map layouts and created 3 of my own which i inserted into the game. Felling pretty good with myself I started playing and it was going well till route 102. Any time i fight a wild pokemon, after the battle is over i become either :

A). become the Bug Catcher in that same route,

or

B). the Bug Catching becomes a negative coloured sprite of the player which you then control.

Why is this happening and will it happen in every map?

Anyway, I know its a total newbie hack. Like i said, I've only changed 5-6 maps, inserted 3 of my own (Small cave at Mt. Chimney, add on to Rusturf Tunnel and "Deep Forset") and edited the encounter list for every map so you can now catch nearly every pokémon (apart from about 10 + the legendaries you couldn't acquire anyway) but if someone wants to play through it, just to see what its like then it would be cool.

Thanks guys, and i hope you can tell me how to fix my problem :)

P.S - Just to add to the fail, I walked into the wild grass for the first time, Level 3 Sentret. It crit hit on the first turn dealing 10 dmg. (Fudge me, i thought, right i'll keep fighting, and when im down to around 4 hp i'll use the potion). Next turn, it crits again for 10 damage knocking my Torchic out ¬_¬

Haha, got to love it XD

Is there an easy way to index sprites? I'm having trouble with the tuts on this one.
In Irfanview open your image. Then go to at the top Image > Decrease Color Depth > Select 16 colors and click OK. There, it's indexed to 16 colors. ;) And make sure the color background is the first color in the palette.

since this has something to do with my question here it is,
how do i make the first colour my background if it is not after indexing?

Er, ASM is short for "assembly", not "advanced scripting method". It's a low level programming language that a high level language (like C) is compiled to and it's what we, as hackers, have to view the game's code in.

And yes, it would require ASM.

This made me LOL
Err, okay, this was embarassing...at least I got the ASM part right!

Let's see...if I got your question right, you need to change your background color's RGB to the first one on the list and change the first one on the list to the block where your background colour was. It's basically some kind of 'swapping'.

Hm... I was looking around Irfanview. I think you go to Image > Decrease Color Depth > 256 Colors. And then edit your palette that way. If you don't want to do that I think you use Adobe Photoshop.

Yes although you'd still need to index it to a certain number to edit the palette if I'm right.

Hello there. Well, of course there is a way to completely remove it, but it's as tricky as trying to feed nuts to an ape and bananas to an elephant. It requires knowledge of Advanced Scripting Method Assembly language, ASM in short, which clearly is out of the subject if you're just starting out.

If you do want to learn, though, here's a tutorial for you to begin.

You press a button during VBA. XD;

I know I remember going through unlz-GBA and found the Gengar and Nidorino sprites somewhere near the beginning... I think. But I know it's possible as I saw people hacked it before.

Or just remove it if you want with ASM like Equin said, if anyhow possible.

That is only half of how to swap palettes in IrfanView - The palettes in the picture are literally swapped, so while the image might have the background colour in its correct place in the palette, you can see that it and another have been swapped in the picture making it look nothing like what it should.

Once you swap the palette, make sure that you save your work as something other than the original file name so you should have the original image which is indexed but has the wrong background palette and the new image which has the correct background palette, but its colours are messed up. Open the original image in Paint or a variation of the program (Apparently the newest Paint doesn't support indexed images) and press Ctrl+C. Open your newest image and paste the old image in - It should be the exact same of the original image, but now you have the transparent colour in its correct position.

Hm... I was looking around Irfanview. I think you go to Image > Decrease Color Depth > 256 Colors. And then edit your palette that way. If you don't want to do that I think you use Adobe Photoshop.

Yes although you'd still need to index it to a certain number to edit the palette if I'm right.

That has nothing to do with editing the position of the background colour within a palette.
