Okay checked with tile molester three times through. Still no types. WTF?!!! anyone have any idea where they could be?

[ShakawBR]

Uh...

For reference, if you're adding new types, the pointer system is a bit screwy. It points to the circular object (Pokéball, I think) a row above the types. Then each of the types are pointed to using a strange format beneath that pointer.

There's enough space before "Normal" for a few new images anyway, so the only thing that needs repointing is the pointer list to the ball and types (oh, and the POWER, PP and all that; they're bundled with the types too).

I just want to know how to save changed pallet in APE ?

[zazazazazazaza]

mmm... yes, you can: do a research in the rom for the pointer of the text (if you doesn't know what's a POINTER, its simply the offset flipped adding 08 at the end, Ex: ABCDEF is a Offset, EFCDAB08 is its pointer). So, you find the istruction msgbox. Then, substract 2 and you find the offset of the msgbox instruction in your script.

Thanks for the help :D Sadly, it doesn't seem to work? Either that or I'm misunderstanding your instructions. So if my text pointer in hex says 80CE93, 93CE80 would be its offset? Then I subtract two from the hex to make 93CE7E. Then...it should work? I subtrated from both the decimal and the hex, neither worked. I guess I just failed at understanding your instructions. Is it possible that someone could help me find the offset of pointer 80CE93 just by using this method? Thanks again, though.

Thanks so much! Now i can totally go crazy with my game!

To anyone that cares, I've just submitted a pointer guide to Documents and Tutorials... hopefully that'll be up soon. It contains some useful information that's not so well documented, I believe, so it might open the minds to some of y'all.

Darthatron has another tool which is called TM Editor Pro which you can use to edit those.

Thanks Ninja, I was getting to that next =)

Yeah, but it doesn't edit the HMs

&h25E014, &h45A608 and &h45A870 all contain a list of the HM attacks (0F00, 1300, 3900, 4600, 9400, F900, 7F00 and 2301). I assume changing all three will result in a changed attack.

Hi everyone. I got a question here...
I replaced an old trainer sprite for my new one, but it was too big, so I repointed it to a clean offset.
But when I tried it out, before even going to a battle scene, the game crashed.
Yes, it's in png format and 16 colours and 64x64 in size.

How can I fix this?
If can't, then how can I restore the trainer to have it's original sprite back?

That's in hex editor? Or where do I search for the offsets?

And I've got another problem: When I pick up a Pokeball, it reappears...

No, I will explain it better:
80CE93 ---> 93CE8008 ok? Then, do a research in the rom with your Hex editor of 93CE8008.
When you find that, put in XSE the offset WHERE 93CE8008 is -2 (Ex. 805505-2=805502).
So, you found the script.

Try repointing to a working sprite (some random trainer or something), test, and see if it crashes. If not, delete your inserted sprite, re-insert it, and repoint it again. If yes, then... ick. I like the Ruby Destiny series...

I'm using &h to refer to a hexadecimal address, so yeah. With the Pokéball, you'll need to set a flag within the script, and then attach that flag to the Pokéball. Seriously, most of the scripting tutorials in the Tutorials & Documents section will tell you how to do it.

I'd love to do that, but the question is, how can I delete it?
Unlz-GBA can't read the newly inserted sprite. It only loads the old ones, but if I replace the old one with a new one, nothing happens.

I can try deleting the offset through a hex editor but I forgot what offset I used for the new sprite. :\

[zeldafreak1223]

alright this is going to seem like a very n00bish string of questions. im trying to make a hack of pokemon blue. things i'd like to know are:

1. how can you change the number of pokemon in the title screen from 16 to 15? i keep editing it in RBTitlescreenEditor, but a new one always appears which i didn't add.

2. how can i extract/replace the pokemon graphics? i cant seem to find any guides for 1st generation pokemon games.

3. can i change the internal name of the rom?

4. which bank/block in poketext is the text for the title screen under?

i've found countless guides for hacking r/s/e and fr/lg, but zero to none for anything earlier than that. thanx in advance.

That involves some stuff about compressed and uncompressed data I have no idea about. You might want to ask someone who's done it - The Dude - for some help.

UNLZ-GBA generates a .pal and .spr file when it reads a rom, I believe. Delete these, then look again.

Alternatively, load a clean rom, find the pointer for the trainer you replaced, and go to that location in your new rom.

[Tropical Sunlight]

Sure, but the Pokeball was already in the game...
I just changed Full Heal to Sitrus berry...

It writes it to the ROM automatically.

[PhaizeD]

I do apologize if this has been asked and answered already, I did attempt searching but that can be a pain when what you're searching for involves palettes, lots of posts have that in them after all. I simply wish to inquire whether or not it is possible to insert a completely new palette WITHOUT messing with already existing ones. I do have one other question but I have a feeling I'll probably be redirected to scripting help on it, and that's related to having a pokemon follow you in FR/LG.

Thank you for taking your time to read this and I will be quite grateful for any input on the subject.

I don't understand but I'll try to do that.

I don't think that's possible though. :\
but I could be wrong. however, I haven't seen anyone did that.
