1. Hey, I'm using WindHex for my hack of Gold, but I'm not sure how to edit the wild pokemon that appear on a route. GoldMap doesn't help me out on this.
02AB35 starts a list of wild Pokemon and their locations, in the following format:
[2-byte map number]
[wild Pokemon ratio morn][wild Pokemon ratio day][wild Pokemon ratio nite]
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (morn)
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (day)
[level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species][level][species] (nite)

The list continues this way until you reach a FF for the first byte, which signifies the end of the list.
3. Is there anyway to 'script' with GS? So how could I make someone come up to you, give you an item, or something like that?
Yes. Take a look in the Documents/Tutorials section and read cooley's tutorial on that subject.

Ok, this is a really noob question, but...

I'm moving away from the overt simplicity of hacking Advance Gen. games, and am setting my sights on making hacks of gb/gbc games; namely Blue and Gold.

Now here's where the noobness comes in;

I have a hex editor, and have been able to write text to certain parts of the rom, but I'm not sure how to implement that text to be said by one of the characters/signs, because it asks me for a text bank and a text block, whatever that means.

So, what is the Text Bank and Text Block's relation to the text's actual location, in hex, within the rom?

:/

The "text block"/"text bank" label in Goldmap is mislabeled. It has nothing to do with text -- it's actually the two-byte pointer to the script, as you can see if you check out the scripts in hex. To do what you're asking (make it so that people can say things), you should look up scripting; cooley has a tutorial a few pages into the Documents/Tutorials section. And if you haven't already, read up on pointers.

As an aside, Blue is very unfriendly if you don't already know how it works. I recommend sticking with Gold until you have a bit more experience editing GBC games.

I don't know about the Diamond cutter, but if you use pokescript, you could get some guidance from this tutorial for making scripts and inserting them. Or you could read up thethethethe's scripting tutorial. If you use scripted then this should help you through the basics of making a script and this should help you to compile them. Have fun.

You have either overwritten the picture with the previous pic (find it in a clean rom) or edited wrong the "speed fell" text, It happened to me once while translating that the game froze when using ancientpower (if raised the stats) for similar reasons.

thanx, but, ive looked in a clean rom already for it and i just cant find it. do you know where it is in unlz.gba, and what is the speed fell text?
on unlz.gba, it shows that im missing 194 on my hacked rom is there anyway to insert it?

Hey, I have a question: This guide was made by Coolboyman, it looks important, but I'm not sure how to use it! So, how can I use it in my hack? I'm using Windhex...

They are flags, you can activate them, reset them and check if they are on or off. The codes used are from 31-33 for Bit Table 1 and 34-36 for Bit Table 2.
