Resetting?

So I was attempting to edit FireRed with A-map. I put in a few scripts, and tried to test run it. All was going well, until the game suddenly reset. I tried to run it again, and the game reset once more, in the exact same spot. I remapped the area to go around that spot, and then, when I tested it, it reset on the same horizontal line. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen?

In the map the game resets once you enter, check if there are any person events that are "Hidden"(first "Hidden" in the movement type list, if you use another "Hidden" type it won't reset). This is what causes the game to reset.

I searched but did not find so...
How do you make the ROM bigger?
Can you delete all the scripts in the game?

And a completely random one...
What happens if you turn everything in a ROM (using Hex Editing) into empty space (FFFF)

I cant answer most of that, but if you made everything into empty space the rom wouldnt exist
there wouldnt be any data in it - data for everything is included in the rom when it's open in a hex editor
so there wouldnt just be no map headers, there would be no maps, and there would be no sprites to go in the maps
and when you tried opening it in vba you'd just get a cannot be opened error or a fatal error :)

Not that I've done that, it's just kinda obvious :P

well then where do i put the speed text? and whenever i use lunar ips, because my rom died....:(,(to recover it), it always says: Youre modified file has changes at or beyond the 16 MB mark. The Ips format is unable to address those offsets. The generated patch file will only contain changes below that point. plz help.
Click to expand...
Eek, sounds pretty bad. To fix your original problem all you needed to do was to search for the offset of the text in A-text in a clean rom, then go to that offset copy a reasonable amount of hex (say 10 lines just to be safe) and then go to the offset in your hacked rom and replace the amount of lines you copied. I think what you must have done for Lunar IPS to say that is that you inserted bytes instead of replacing them.

I don't know if you can fix it and I don't think you should waste any more time trying too either. Just start again. Copy over the maps and scripts and you'll be up to where you were in no time.

The GBA rom files have pointers that are represented by 3 bytes that is why the rom files finish at approximately FFFFFF (FF is the largest byte in hex) so when it is increased, the pointers are now insufficient to point to all the data in the rom. I haven't actually researched this in-depth and what I've told is mostly common sense. I'm sure it is possible somehow, I remember reading that VBA is able to play roms of any size so the emulation will not be a problem. I also remember that Crystal Shards was going to have a rom expansion. Try searching for it on google. That probably should have been the first thing you did.

Yes you can delete all the scripts but if its quite dangerous as you risk deleting stuff that are needed for the game engine.

Nothing, you will not be able to do anything with it. It will be an empty file.

Has anyone had the problem where the effects of various attacks become messed up? For example, when you use Dig in battle, each turn it says "[POKEMON] dug a hole!" without it actually resurfacing to attack. Also, attacks like Stun Spore and Sleep Powder don't cause any status conditions, while the effects of other attacks are also not what they're supposed to be. I can't change it with A-Tack or AEP; if anyone knows how I could reset the attack data through Hex or something else, it would be greatly appreciated.

Also, I commonly encounter a problem where if you open the Pokemon menu in close proximity to an NPC and return, you are in control of that NPC's sprite instead of your own.

Well for the first question, I have no idea. 0_0
Then for the second one, that means that the sprite is set to "look down", to fix it, change it to No movement, since it is the same thing. ;)

Does anybody know where I could find D/P Pokemon cries? If not, what should I use to rip them?

Also, does anyone have the D/P Music files? The link in ROM Hacking Resources doesn't open for me. :\

Use a program called YAPE, it has that feature.

You won't be able to 'reset' it with hex, but you could overwrite it with what it should be.
Here's the easiest way I can think of to fix up the attacks. Download a hex editor that supports a copy and paste function. If you can't find one, look for either Hexeccute or Hex Workshop.
Now in an unhacked fire red rom, go to 0x250C04, and highlight everything from 0x250C04 - 0x251CA8, and copy it.
Now open up your hacked rom, and go to 0x250C04, and paste all the data and save. That should hopefully fix it.
If that doesn't work, you wouldn't be able to fix it so easily.

Is this when you open the rom or the program? If its the program you need to download the .NET framework I think take a look at his thread it should say what you need. If its when you open the rom then there is a problem with your rom.

I heard you get national dex in R/S when trading between FR/LG, but there is another way, with scripts maybe?
