Running Shoes inside buildings

[funguy1019]

i couldnt find offset BD494...all i could find was BD490 and so i changed that and it works fine but is it dangerous to change that?

[altariaking]

the first 2 numbers in bd490 are 90, the second are 91 and so on. does that help?

I would use this...but I don't use whatever program you use for this stuff (I'm guessing it's XSE)

Just change the 80 to 00 at the specified offset for your version in a hex editor. I use HxD.

[ERROR]

THIS....IS....AMAZING!
great minds :D what will they think of next
hooray for hackmew!

[cooley]

I thought you can already do this through Advance Map? Im not home so I cant check which drop-down you have to change. But other than that, at least this teaches us to use a hex editor and some, what a hex editor is...

[JJ148]

I still don't get what you have to do =(

[Epicness]

mmm...just like in D/P/Pt and HG/SS =D

Open your ROM in a Hex Editor. Go to the offset Andrea listed (make sure it's for the ROM you're using). Press 0 twice, save it. The end.

I did this in Hex Workshop.. Nothing happened. :/

What Editor are you using?

EDIT: I switched to HxD and it's working :D

For people interested in having the Running Shoes hack on Ruby, you're in for some good news I've come up with my own hack for Ruby since I don't think the same way works, AFAIK. Anyways, let's get down to business.. My hack revolves around Map Type byte. There are a lot of routines reading that and one of them checks if the Map type is indoors, if it is then you 'Can't Run' otherwise you can.

080e5dfc  4802 ldr r0, [$080e5e08] (=$0202e828) @ Map Type Flag is stored here
080e5dfe  7dc0 ldrb r0, [r0, #0x17]
080e5e00  2808 cmp r0, #0x8 @ Indoor Map Type
080e5e02  d103 bne $080e5e0c
080e5e04  2001 mov r0, #0x1
080e5e06  e002 b $080e5e0e

What we are gonna do is change that 08 to 00, since no Map uses 00 anyway as far as it matters just change it to any other value that doesn't involve Maps that you can run on. So, to apply this hack simply put 00 at 0xE5E00.

Enjoy!

:O i did the same thing, only i used 0x6 because maybe some buildings were OK to run in. So every map type you can run in, excluding the type '0x6' :D

Hex editor... where can I find one. Or is there one in XSE? Thanks in advance =)

[Spherical Ice]

Google is your friend, you know?

[Kininja]

I'm using Hexacute? its a hex editor i've foundwhen i find BD494 it's just FFs all across what do i do

[X1C377]

Editing the offset 0xE5E00 as you instructed for Sapphire causes the game to reset if one holds B while moving. The offset I had to change was 0xE5E20.

[AimayBee]

I wonder if you could do the same thing with the Vs. Seeker from Firered/Leafgreen.

Wouldn't it be the same thing? x

[BlackHayate]

@X1C377: The offsets are almos always different between versions, thats why there are tools that work for Fire Red but not Leaf Green, the creator didn't collect the offsets for both games.

Moving on; Yeh it always anoyed me that you couldnt rematch trainers just because they were indoors. Are there any places where you can't use the bike, but can use the VS seeker?

Hex editing at its finest. Changed one thing and now I can jog around the pokecenter like my character's on crack. This is some of the most applicable research data on the site. A+

I would like to propose the re-re(-re?)implementation of reputation just so that we can give witty posts like this the recognition they deserve without saying +1.


Anyway, the reason that I came here to post was that I am appalled that people don't know how to use a hex editor. It's far too easy now to make a decent hack without using a hex editor, what with programs to do the tiniest thing. Questions like "what's an offset" sadden me.

All the same, I still can not for the life of me think of something to say here that is 100% on-topic. Oh wait -

I really like this ASM hack, it makes me happy. Running around inside is always fun to do. It makes me aspire to try harder to figure out ASM, despite the fact that I've been trying to learn how to use it for at least 2 years now. (Not very hard, or for long periods of time though. :p)

[AmethystEEVEE]

This seems useful, Diamond was my first non-spin-off Pokemon game, so when I first got games from gen 3 I was like "WHY CAN'T I RUNNNNN!?!?!?!?!?"

Definitely using it in Pokemon Evolution :3 Thanks Hackmew! I'll just have to look into it later when I download more Hacktools, though. For now, I don't know how to hex-edit and I don't have the right resources anyways...

[Reygok]

Thanks HackMew, this is a real cool tweak! I'd like to use it, too, but I hack a german FireRed, how can I find the offsets there?

Copy the two bytes, and a couple surrounding bytes, onto the "search" bar, and survey the results to see if they correspond, and voilà, you have the loffsets.

[Reygok]

Thanks, but I just switched to the US version, has many advantages Thanks anyway

[Lugia_Da_Boss]

I can't find any of this in my FireRed on the HEX Editor. Is there any other way I can do this?

What do you mean you can't find it?
