I am having problems editing it in black and white colours
So I have the Pallet Offset ready and I just need the Sprite Offset

So, does anyone know if there are particular numbers we need to use for unknown and variable number to get a script to work? ...and if so, how do we figure them out?

Instead of 0300 try 0003 and 4050.Thats what I use and it works.Also it can be different if you dont have the newest advanced map,but it should be that.

I have a few questions...

1. When I use a script editor to edit texts, a msgbox may copy itself into another msgbox and screw up the text.
2. When I try to load a picture into UNLZ.gba, it says this error: "Error Image not indexed"
3. Sometimes my scripts ruin themselves

I can answer number 2 for ya.

For it to be indexed,. it needs to be in 16 colour bit mode. To do this, you'll need some image editing softer that can lower the bit rate. the most popular is IrfanView

1. Well that's why it's a script editor and not a text Lol. But if you're adding more text, it's not safe especially when there's another script right after the one you're editing.

When you add, you overwrite the next bytes, and since the next bytes are used and not Free space, XSE doesn't repoint the script or something similar to that. All you have to do is decompile the script, and replace the offset "0x8105925" with a dynamic one "@msg" and insert a #dynamic tag at the top of the full script. XSE will auto-replace it for you

2. Download IrfanView, and open the picture. Goto Image->Decrease Color depth->click on either 256, or 16 colors->Click OK, and Save file.

3. It's not the script. Because the script doesn't have a brain or thought processes XD
Maybe you should post, so we can help you.

[Lyzo]

Ok, I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the script that I'm using, but it should work...

So, my problem is, I made a script where you see a poké ball, you click it, it shows a picture of a pokemon, asks if you want it yes/no. If no, then ok, choose another one, end script. When you press yes you go on, get the pokemon, fanfair, your rival picks a pokemon and then he leaves...

This all takes place in the lab, with an aid and your rival. Now, my problem is... that after you choose your pokemon, you can choose if you want to give it a name. When you press no the script runs fine and it works as it should. When you press yes the script also works fine... but at the end of the script you don't control the player but the lab assistant... Why's this?

I don't think the script is need... but I'm still posting it xD
Oh, and it's a level script.

I'll try if it helps to do the name choosing later in the game...
But I'm still wondering why this happens, so if anyone has an answer please answer :D

Is the Lab Assitant's movements on Look down? If so change it to No movement. If not, I'll look over the script a bit more.

That fixed it :D!!!
Thanks for replying so quickly!

[darrkwolfy]

please dont eat me if this has already been asked because 400 pages is a bit much to read.

im trying to edit the fire red titlescreen i want to use a new tileset and tilemap i used my own images and got them set up but the files were larger than the originals so i used free space finder to find a new adress i had it save it there then autimaticly repoint but when i start the game either the images are not there or are in about a million peices all over the screen compleatly unrecognizable how can i do this please let me know asap thx.

[Doom Chaos]

Me again, but this time this is very very VERY easy. I looked at the tutorial Dante made for the intro hero for Fire Red, but I can't save the BG in .act. Can somebody upload it somewhere I could download it? Everytime I choose the format, it saves it like this: bg.pal. I can't do a thing with that! I tried naming it "bg.act", but still not working! If I change the format manually, it screws the palette up. What the heck...

[onyx79]

how to revamp old sprites?

[PlatniumPiano]

Well I guess I have a simple question, but it's kind of long...

I have a trainer in unLZ. Steven's sprite, to be exact. So I went to import my newly indexed .png file, a steven-ish sprite with a green shirt. I clicked export pallete, and all of the other boxes. No problems, the sprite was editied... However, I go to the previous trainer sprite in the list... and I get this:

Spoiler:

A gentlemen Trainer Sprite with the same pallete as the New stevens'. Not only that, but all of the other trainers before Steven now have a dumb- looking palette in unlZ- all of them have pallete 1039. Now, when I fight a gentleman in the game... He looks normal. He has a totally different pallete than what shows up in unLZ. Sure, this is confusing, but what's more so is that (the new) Steven's in-game sprite now has a discolored palette. However, in unLZ, it looks fine. Also, in every trainer editor I open... all trainer palettes, except Steven's, look normal.

My question is- How can I fix Steven's Palette in game, and the other trainer palettes in unLZ? Is my ROM screwed up? Will I be able to not edit any more trainers? Did I miss something important?

This is quite an important question, seeing as I need to edit the majority of trainers for my hack.

Thank you in advance

Try using an updated VBA version to see if it matters.

unLZ keeps the palette and sprites list cached into the ROMName.gba.spr and ROMName.gba.pal files. Make sure to close the ROM and delete them both. Then load the ROM again with unLZ.

[onyx79]

hmmm what's the pic number of the battle box(the one that shows you the HP & EXP bars)at unlz in fire red?

[wolfy]

Go on events, click on your 0 sprite (left click) and change de picture no. And if you want to move it, you have to click, hold and place it somewhere else.

To answer HackMew, I'm gonna try in a few seconds, I'll edit my post for results.

EDIT: Should I take a stable version or a beta (the beta is the latest release)?
EDIT2: The beta makes it work fine. Thanks
EDIT3: After I enter a name, the sprite becomes screwy, why?

[Tropical Sunlight]

Is it already possible to change the font in FR/LG?

[Manipulation]

Yeah it is, in tile molester I think :\ I can't entirely remember, take a whack at asking Zeikku. He has fully incorporated a font hack in LC.

[Gamewhale]

I'm trying to add more trainers to my Ruby hack using A-Trainer, but when I edit the trainer amount and then go into the game and battle a trainer that was already there (not a new one that I have created), the game displays the trainer class and then a whole lot of random text shows up and the game crashes (so therefore I can't battle any trainer). Is there a way to fix this?

Thank you for the help! But now I have another problem with that. Every trainer sprites behind Steven's is now 1040. And all of them look fine in game (and a little better in unLZ), but steven still looks like this:

Spoiler:

And still wierd looking in unLZ. I tried importing steven again, and guess what? I'm back to square one.

This is making me think that my ROM is corrupted... am I wrong?

The only way to fix it is to wait for a new A-Trainer, since that bug has been reported (and fixed) already. Basically a few pointers to the trainer names weren't repointed causing the random text or whatever. I guess you don't want to go through the trouble of finding and repointing them by yourself, isn't it?

Is the Auto abort enabled?

[PlatniumPiano]

Auto abort is enabled. I took it off and it worked, but I'mna put it on again. But unLZ just aborts it then, so how do I put it in?

[Yummeh.Strawberriez]

Hey i was wondering if someone could help me out, I wasn't quite sure where to put this, but i figure this seemed best.

I'd like to know if anybody has made a WORKING Rombase of Kyledoves DPPt tiles, because i have looked around a lot, and the closest i can find is one that has messed up door animations.
But the main problem is that NONE of the supposed kyledove have the interior tiles?
It's quite irritating, i would insert them myself and palette edit them myself, but i am shocking at inserting tiles, i fail epically..
Overall i really would like my hack to have the full kyledove DPPt style tiles, the buildings, the trees, grass, and especcially interior.
But i cannot find a thing.
And maybe if there isn't one, i was wondering if someone could insert them? I would of course give credit etc.
Any help would be appreciated an insane amount, i would be extremely grateful.
Thankyou in advance,
George.

You never, really never have to disable that option. Instead, you have to repoint the image you want to insert somewhere else by finding a free space area and putting the offset you found in the Image Offset when importing it into unLZ, making sure to have "Automatically fix pointers" enabled. To fix your screwed up ROM, see my tutorial in the Documents and Tutorial section, HackMew's Knowledge. The link is in my sig.
