Does anyone happen to know the number for the oak intro background in FR for unLZ?
I've found several images that look like it but I want to be sure of which is which.

I don't think there is a background (but I could be wrong). I think it is just a bunch of colors from a palette.

no I think its a tile map because have you seen light platinum they did it

Yeah, I definitely know it can be changed. I've seen it done on numerous occasions.
I figured that would have been the actual way to do it, just searching through unLZ i saw various similar gradients and thought that they were the background to the intro.

I'll see what I can do. Thanks guys.

Guys, I have a glitch that occurs everytime I ask that guy that wants to trade a Pokemon:

I press Yes, but because I don't have a Magnemite, there should have been a textbox saying that that is not Magnemite. But instead, this happens:

And yes, the Movement is set to 11.

Does that glitch happen only to the specific NPC or just anyone who wants to trade and you don't have the required pokemon? Because if that also happened to NPCs with the original script then there has to be something with the ROM base...

Also, you can help us help you if you post the script, even though there's a separate thread for that...

So far just a specific NPC.
It's not a custom script, I just modified the text from the guy that trades you a Mr. Mime. Here's the script:

Can anybody rip the Platinum frontier brains charactersets for me? I really need them!

[ville!]

can i edit the items value? for example, i want "red orb" to evolve feebas... or something like this, some tool... or tut?

[Tropical Sunlight]

You could change how to evolve Feebas by YAPE, but changing an item like that would require ASM.

[ville!]

mmm... ok, some tut to edit items with ASM? i want to add more stones to evolve some pokemons

[NatureKeeper]

Why ASM?

You only need Item Editor+.

Follow my instructions.

Apparently, you need ASM. My old method freezes the game~

It involves changing feebas to evolve by item and copying the field value of an evolution stone to the item you want to use.

I still dunno how to make it stable.

[TheDon]

Is there a command in XSE that allows you to teach a Pokemon a move, like with the move tutors in Firered and Leafgreen? I looked in a few tutorials, and didn't find much.

[I like Pokemon (...)]

2 quick questions...
1. How many Sinnoh Pokemon can I add to RSEFRLG (and which one can hold more? If any) and how do you do it?
2. How many Pokemon spaces are there in GSC that I can use to add Pokemon? Is there anyway I can, say, put a Latios in Crystal?

[Wolfhead]

Sorry to bother the lot of you again but I really need help with this.

In XSE:
- How do you store a string to a variable? Is it as simple as e.g. setvar 0x4033 "String" ? I doubt that as I found no information whatsoever concerning this.
- How do you store the name of the first Pokemon in a team to a variable? (the name the trainer can choose to give, not the actual pokemon, mind you)
- Does comparing two strings work the same as if they were not (compare 0xvar1 0xvar2 | if 0x1 goto ...) or do I require an additional method?
- In the latter case, how would I go about that?

Or merged into a single question:
- In XSE, how can I check whether the nickname of the first pokemon in the player's team matches a customly set string?

Thanks in advance.

Just copy the ASM of a fire stone or something onto red orb.

Here is how the items are layed out...

Spoiler:

Item Format

       String 1      Item Name   14 bytes
[00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]

      String 2       Item Index   2 Bytes
                        [00 00]

      String 3       Item Price    2 Bytes
                        [00 00]

      String 4    Unknown Val  1 Byte
                           [00]

      String 5  Unknown Val 2  1 Byte
                           [00]

      String 6  Description Pointer  4 Bytes
                    [00 00 00 00]

      String 7   Attack Contained (TM's)  2 Bytes
                         [00 00]

      String 8   Bag Pocket   1 Byte
                           [00]

       String 9  Unknown Vals  17 Bytes
[04 39 23 0B 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00]


              Total Format   44 Bytes
            [14][2][2][1][1][4][2][1][17]

Those bottom 17 bytes are where pointers to ASM may go...
SO, if you completely copy all 44 bytes of Fire Stone (Other than Fire Stone's index number... since that might glitch things having 2 items of the same number.) Then you'll have made ANOTHER evolution item.
At that point all you have to do is edit it to your liking.
It is best to just copy/overwrite these bytes while in a hex editor, since you can COMPLETELY rewrite the item.

For anyone wondering, you can get the Fire Stone's 44 bytes of data starting at the offset:
Fire Red - 0x3DC07C
(If you need it for some other game, it is not too hard to find, simply search for:
C0C3CCBF00CDCEC9C8BFFF000000, in a hex editor, you'll find it right away. (Since taht is the 14 bytes made of its name.)

If you wanted to replace the Red Orb, from Fire Red of course, Search:
CCBFBE00C9CCBCFF000000000000, in your hex editor. It will take you to the very beginning of the 44 bytes made up of Red Orb.

All you have to do at this point, is copy the 44 bytes from Fire Stone, and overwrite the ones for Red Orb!

Not that hard when I give you step by step instructions eh?

Now just open it up in an item editor, and change the index number to teh old one of Red Orb (276) And you are good to go! A fully working new evolution item! (Though you MIGHT wanna repoint the description... it would be weird having it be the same as Fire Stone.)

Happy Hacking!

Unfortunately, you can't store strings with any scripting language other than ASM, you'll need to use ASM for it... I dunno how exactly though...

[Chaos Rush]

How do you extend the PokeDex in FireRed? Also does anybody know of any tool that would let me modify the PokeDex?

[cookie_lovr]

Does anyone know how to use the Advanced Pallete to change a certain tileset's shading?

[Zeffy]

Team Snag'Em tools can modify the pokedex. Also, for your first question I don't believe you can extend the PokeDex in FR I don't know about HEX editing though.

I already have that tool, it's pretty useful. I just found out that FR/LG does not actually have a separate Kanto Pokedex, it's that when you go select the Kanto Dex the game loads the National Dex, but a command tells it to stop displaying after #151.

So how would I make it so that the Kanto Pokedex displays up to #170?

[NarutoActor]

your a bit off ,its that when you set a flag the pokedex shows 1-150 then later another flag is set to make it show 1-360
some hacks just go to the second flag so in the beginning you automatically have 1-360
to make the first flag go from 1-170 that would take asm

Asm? Also I hope you meant 1-386. What's "asm"?

[NarutoActor]

yeah 1-386
asm arm (some thing)
its basically hacking the game engine insted of just moving/ changing values and variables (hex)

i asked this a while back, no1 answered so here it is again.

Does anyone know how to assign a battle music to a trainer class?(the one that plays when fighting, not the intro.

Advanced Trainer. I'm sure you can find it in the Toolbox forum somewhere. There's an option in it where you can change the music. IDK if you can assign the ENTIRE class of trainers with one change, but it's possible to do it individually, at least.
