[Supakitsune]

Does anyone know the offset in the ROM where the pallete of the title screen Pokemon is located, at least in Emerald version if not in all of them? It would be a great help to users of Mewthree9000's Cyclone program (like me )...

Thanks.

[Martin Yiu]

I am making new hack, and I wanted to change sprites of hero and heroine. It's OK, but when I wanted to change a backpic of girl, it messed up. I worked in RS Ball.Here I send patch of the game

[Shaneypoo17]

icyflare read my tut. it has the offsets for all the titlescreens

i try to insert my new titlescreen into the game and it says "image not indexed" plz help.

[Osceola]

I want to substitute May for Shelly, as the heroine. But if i try to insert shelly in may's sprite,the colors are messed up. How can i get to May's sprite, SWITCH it with Shelly's.
Its like using Shellys offset and sprite, and switching their places so that Shelly is the heroine and may is a regular trainer.
DO YOU KNOW SCIZZ!!!
-This is for Pokemon Ruby by the way.

2. How do you edit the credits at the end when you beat the game and they show the producers?

3. Does anyone know any blank free spaces in Ruby? It is a long time to search for them.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME? Scizz!?

by the way, shaney, did you edit the title screen or did you just make your own. You have to edit the current title screen for it to work.

[Shaneypoo17]

nop... i solved my prob :D i shud hav imported bmp instead of png

[Supakitsune]

Is it possible to find the offset where the Home level is stored (like bank 03 map 00 for FireRed or bank 19 map 28 for Ruby/Sapp/Emerald [in hex]) and change it to somewhere else?
...
Such as Bank 00 Map 09 (Ruby/Sapp/Emerald)?

[Pokepearl]

Yes but you need to do repointing.. Which isnt that hard and just edit all the data for it.. I created new pokemon out of all of them in my old hack Pokemon Alpha... along long time ago X_X

1.how exactly do i change the tiledata of the emerald screen???
2.is it possible to add new pokemon to the game without removing old 1s?
3.in a hex editor, what is the offset for the zigzagoon that chases birch arounds battle? cuz i wanna change it to a rattata.
4.can i change the maximum level from 100 to 250? if its possible how can i do it

1. I thought you made a tutorial for that?! o.0
In unLZ-GBA:
Rayquaza + background: 152 (BW pallete)
Clouds: 155 (Choose the pallete you want;default should work)
Pokémon logo: 2609 (RAW dump + Ruby titlescreen pallete for TileMolester)
Emerald logo: 2610 (RAW dump + Ruby titlescreen pallete for TileMolester)
Press Start: 2611 (BW pallete)

2. Possible, yes. But not without a lot of ASM hacking...
It is easier to replace Pokémon. Try it with the "?" Pokémon bewteen Celebi and Treeko. That way you can keep more original Pokémon.

3. Dunno. Haven't found the byte yet.

4. That should also be possible by ASM hacking. But I never tried it.

by the way, shaney, did you edit the title screen or did you just make your own. You have to edit the current title screen for it to work.

1. Just change the pointers. (Like Sprite picture pointer and pallete pointer)
Write down all of Mays, and all of Shelly's, then just switch them with the other one.

2. They should be stored as text, so you can do it with either Advance-Text or a Hex-Editor + table file.

3. Just search for a lot of FF-Bytes. There are so much that you can't miss them.

Yes that is possible.
In R/S/E/FR/LG just search for [19202821].
If you part is like this [19] [20] [28] [21] you will see your Bank and Map bytes. (19 and 28)
Just change them to whatever Map you want to start on. Like if you want to start in Petalburg, change them to Bank 00 and Map 00. (00 20 00 21)

Just a notice, you start on Bank 04, Map 01 in FR/LG, not on 03 00.

SA1 is a Savestate file, not a patch.
Just normally play your ROM in an Emulator, and your changes should appear.
Make sure you saved your changes to the rom correctly. (Didn't had the ROM open in another program, etc.)

You have to make sure that you indexed the image correctly. Kobre Lair has also posted a tutorial in the tutorial forum.

If they are compressed, export them with unLZ-GBA, edit them and import them back in.
If they are uncompressed, you can edit them with Tile Layer Pro or Tile Molester.

The hidden items are an odd kind of item! XD
To be honest, I couldn't figure out how they work yet...
You would be better off if you would use the Pokéball items instead.

EliteMap and AdvanceMap are Map editors. They allow you to change the world maps in the Pokémon Advance games. (I would suggest you to play around with them for a while to get used to them and find out what function does what. It's not complicated.)
VBA (VisualBoyAdvance) is an Emulator, which allows you to play Gameboy games on your computer. Just click on "File->"Open" and load your game and play it. That's it.
Offsets are a position within the game file. They usually indicate where a certain thing is stored.
Hex Editors are programs which allow you to change files, by using Hexadecimal characters.
Sprites are just pixel graphics that are used in the games. (Like the Hero image in the Pokémon games.)

Hex-Editor.
You can find the offsets for Fire-Red in this post.
Just go to those offsets, copy some bytes and search them in your LG rom.
When you find them you will have the Starter Pokémon offsets for Leaf-Green and can change them as I told in the post and my Tutorial.

@ Poképearl:

Here's a script in form of your request:
Create two TRAPS:

Create Trap here:

You can customize the rest of this script by adding more flags or change some movements.


Merged Post:
I finally finished a script I've been working on... but now it's giving me this really stupid error.

For some reason the:

"WAIT 0x0"

doesn't work...
For some reason this command isn't accepted in Diamond Cutter:

Unknown keyword "wait" at line 29.

[Pazuzu]

There is no command named "WAIT".
You should use "PAUSE" instead.

Example: pause 0x0

Ye, I know about PAUSE... but it works on time... what are the bytes for the time/?

[Pazuzu]

Originally Posted by Dark_E

The PAUSE command accepts all byte values, from 00 to FF.
That value will indicate the pausing time in miliseconds.
For example "pause 0x90" will pause the game for 144 miliseconds.
(90 (Hex) <=> 144 (Dec))

[Andrei Almeyda]

I really wanna make a graveyard, but all the graveyard slabs have a stone floor background and I need to change it to grass (y'know, so there's grass round the gravestone). Anyone know how?

[Shaneypoo17]

change the tilesets using unlz... tilesets r normally at the start.
