Could you show us the hex data located at and around the script? XSE has a hex viewer that you can use to screenshot it. My guess is that there is data already in that location that is not a script.

I assume this is what you mean.

DavidJCobb said:

As for your recompile attempt not replacing the garbled data, this is because you used the "dynamic" directive. This tells XSE to look for free space at or after the specified offset, and to compile only to free space. So your script is somewhere after the garbled data. If you wish to compile a script to a known offset, you must use offsets instead of @-prefixed name labels (e.x. "#org 0x800000").

Thanks.

I'm having a problem with the houses on one of my maps, specifically the warps. The warps are set up perfectly, and they behave just fine in AdvanceMap, but when I tested it out in the emulator, it takes me to someplace else altogether. Im using the Pewter City maps for this town, if that matters.

I recorded a video and put it on Youtube in case you don't get what I'm asking. Sorry for the crappy quality.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: Also, looking through my ROM, there seems to be a somewhat large number of house interiors with no events. No warps, no people, no scripts, no nothing. I don't remember going through and deleting them all, and most of them still have the events, and it's just house interiors that don't have events. The two houses I'm trying to use here were like that too, but I added in the warp. Maybe something happened to my ROM? (I really hope not. That would suck.)

Edit2.0: Nevermind, I just reinserted the map. It works fine now.

is there some sort of method to figure out the offset of a certain variable? (like 0x8004 is 0x020370c0)

How do I create a gender-related script i.e I want ot have a simple message box script but a pokepic for a different pokemon depending on if you picked the male or female character, I assume theres a flag for it? or a special command?

Here's a script fragment in PKSV

Is it the same command for xse?

Does anyone know the Fire Red unLZGBA number(s) for the elemental type icons or any other way I would be able to edit those?

Can anyone with animation editing experience VM me? I'm looking for the PokeCenter/Gym/Mart/etc. door animations.

checkgender sets var 0x800D (LASTRESULT) to 0x0000 if the player is male or 0x0001 if female.

Using VBA and the cheat finder you can find it. Set up a script and set the variable to a certain value. Search for that. Change the value to something else and search. Eventually you'll be left with one offset.

Adding to this: the temporary variables (0x8000 and up) can be found with this method, but all other script variables are moved around in RAM constantly. Their offsets change frequently.

Also, How do you create battle backgrounds from standard images 0.o?

Are there any tools or easy way to edit the habitat pokedex in Fire Red? I'd like to be able to move around some of the fakemon I'm making so they make more sense--a Saber-Tooth Cat wouldn't be found in the sea.

It's not a big issue to warrant a lot of work on my part, so that's why I'm only asking if there is a tool.

AGIxP Help

Hi! I'm new here so I'm hoping this is the right place to post a request for help. I don't see a help area so... Anyways, I'm currently hacking Pokemon Silver Version and I have made quite a bit of progress so far. I tried changing Hiro's trainer card sprite, though, and it bugged out hardcore. I had to delete that rom but fortunately I have several backups so it didn't do much harm. What i want to know though is how I'm supposed to edit the trainer card sprite for Hiro in Silver version. The backsprite worked fine but could someone maybe give me the dimensions (like 56 x 56) for that particular sprite please? Thank!

And if this is the wrong spot to post this could you re-direct me to the right one or at least please answer my question before deleting it.

Alright, what I'm trying to do is create two types of grass for my hack, one normal and one snowy. Ive unlocked the tall grass animation and edited the OAM's palette so that i have a few colors for the snow in there, along with all the greens and blues that were there (just making sure, the palette that the grass animations use is ONLY used by the grass and the waves trailing behind while surfing, right?)

ive inserted the new animations for the snow covered grass over the tall grass tiles, and everything loads okay when i test it. however, im having transparency issues. enerything looks fine as im walking into the grass, but once the animation is done, the im covered except for the top of my head. you can see what i mean in the pictures



The last frame's tiles are set up just like the others, so having the wrong tiles there isnt the problem. Also, when i walk to another patch of grass, im still completely covered save for my hat.
If anyone could tell me a fix for this thatd be so awesome

Just a guess: what are the exact behavior and background bytes on those tiles? It seems like you're having trouble with the tile whenever the animation isn't running (look close at pic 2...).

IIRC you need background 21 (Wild Grass + Hero Covers Block) in addition to the behavior byte for the animation.

Well heres how the tiles are set up for that block and the behaviors

The only difference between this and the normal grass is the 3 is a 2, but that would change it to the green animation. and what you referenced in pic 2 can be fixed by messing with the actual animation tile. i think i just put the same thing in for each frame to save time so i could test it. my main concern is the transparency issue in pic 4. it works in every frame up until the player is completely in the block then he gets buried alive

Try background bytes 00 21.

thanks, that worked for the normal snowy grass blocks. but i tried it on the ones that are behind tree tops, and the animation was overlaid on top of the tree. maybe if i tell those not to use the animation since you wont see the character anyway... now i just have to go fix the animation so it actually looks good when walking.

btw, is there a way through hex or anything else to stop cut from working on grass blocks? it causes problems with the snowy blocks (when i cut them, its replaced by an uncuttable normal grass block), and honestly theres no reason to have it there, since it takes longer to go through the menu than it does to run from a pokemon

edit: nevermind. that behavior byte doesnt work. at least not when you walk vertically. the oam will cover the player's head until the animation finishes. i'm tempted to just change the snowy wild encounter blocks to something similar to the blocks from rse's desert. and on that note, would it be possible to add footprint/bike trail animations for the snow blocks, but have them be the right palette? i tried with copying the behavior bytes from the sand blocks to the snow, but the palette was wrong. (gosh im asking so many questions... sorry >.<)
