I dunno why you think it's 5001...

Actually there's where you put the var you're going to set in the script to prevent repeating.

Elaborate, for the longest time, 4050 has been the standard, the rule of thumb, explain please.

Can anyone tell me the APE offset for the battle status bar in Firered?

Grrowl! I wrote a tutorial on how to find APE offsets, looks like my efforts were none too rewarding >_<

Here's the tutorial~

The variable that you put in the "Var number" text box is the variable that is compared with the value in the "Var value" text box. If the two are equal, the script will execute. If not, then the script won't execute. The only reason people think that the "Var number" has to be 4050 or whatever is that 4050 is the variable assigned to the script tile in Pallet Town which, naturally, is the first script tile people found when looking for ways to make their scripts work.
So, as H2O Turquoise was saying, if you have the Var number as 0x7000 and the var value as 0x0000, at the end of the script that you assigned to that script tile you would put something like "addvar 0x7000 0x1" or "setvar 0x7000 0x1" or by any means make 0x7000 not equal to 0x0001.

As for the unknown, well, there's a reason it's called unknown. :P

(Also, do you have that "player can move while the script is executing" script yet? You said you could do it but I'll believe it when I see it)

Thanks for the tut I normally use the Map Viewer to find a APE offset but, for some reason the Status Bar in battle doesn't come up in the Map Viewer so this way works better for me thanks.

You should try using HackMew's Advance Trainer that is what I use and it works perfectly you can download it from his tools in the Toolbox Forum.

The player will sometimes look like he/she's able to move but in actual fact the script has finished and the graphics being displayed haven't. An example of this would be making an earthqauke script. Even though you put waitstate at the end, you'll be able to walk about because the actually script has finished, but the earthquake graphics haven't. :3

can any one tell me how ican edit text pokemon soulsilver

[Tropical Sunlight]

I have this idea and I'd like to use it.

The Gym Leader challenges you to a race. You do the talk, everything then applymovement. No waitmovement following, just a release. When the Gym Leader finishes moving, you lose. But if you get to a trigger script before the GL, you win.
Would that be possible?

the 25 slots can freeze your game if you catch them?
I plan to edit the 25 slots into a 4th gen pokemon's so I'm wondering what will happen.
also if a pokemon will evolve into the 25 slots(magmar into magmortar)can this also freeze the game?

No. I've tried it and nothing went wrong. :3

[gameguru]

I've been looking all over the place for hex numbers of sounds. I just can't find any.
Well okay I've found like 3 but I know there are many more sounds within the game that I could use.
If it makes a difference I'm using XSE and the "sound" command. Please give me a list of the numbers, or a link to a page with them

[|Maximus|]

I know this is a stupid question, and I have searched for hours, but how do you compile a script using XSE? I compiled a Yes/No Script to test it out, and there was more than one offset.

And, once I do compile it, how do I use it in Advance Map?

Say if I wanted to replace an image with Unlz.gba, and that my image is bigger than the original, I would have to repoint it, right? Well, using HackMew's Free Space Finder, how am I supposed to know how many free space bytes to search for? Also if I made a script, how am I supposed to know how many bytes it takes up?

I don't know about scripts, but, after you're done with your image, right-click on it and view it's size using 'properties'. Add 10 bytes to the result and search for the exact amount on FSF.

I exported the male Cool Trainer sprite from FireRed, then checked it's size. Apparently, it's 1,429 bytes. Does a 64x64 sprite really take up that much space? Since I've successfully replaced trainer sprites by searching for 512 bytes. I asked because I thought a 64x64 would take up less space than 512 bytes.

Anyone know how to edit the flower animations to FireRed and Emerald?? What programs, offsets, etc. do I need??

Something like Tile Molester [Alternate] or another tile editor will work. As for the offset, you can find it using VBA.

Yes, they do take that much when exported. But you should index an image first and check it afterwards...

I want level scripts for two separate buildings. When I change the script offset to point to my level script, the script offset of the other building also changes to point to the same offset. So right now it seems impossible to create two separate level scripts using these maps.

The obvious solution is to use a different map, but I was wondering if there was an easier way. I am also curious if anyone knows why this happens with some maps, but not others.

Does anyone have any ideas?

[NarutoActor]

you can always compare vars. So if one script appears it add 1 and checks one same has the other and make sure not to use 1 as the var value if you are to do so put 5 or something and make sure it doesn't reach 5 unless you want it too.

Is there a Pokemon platinium gba hack?
