You can probably go to that offset in A-Text and edit it there. Or, you can use a Ruby char table to convert your text to hex, although A-Text does that for you.

The games simply uses the "giveitem" command followed by "end". Place that script in the Pokeball OW sprite on your map and it should work.

This causes the Pokeball to reappear as soon as I take a step. Is there a specific Trainer ID I'm supposed to use?

I am making a leaf green hack and i need to find the intro sprites in unlz gba (oak, red, blue, gary) (NOT the battle sprites, the intro sprites) Does anyone know where to find them?

[shbshb]

I used my PKSV to fight a celebi. But whenever I catch celebi it doesn't disappear, but when i run away or beat it, it says mewtwo flown away and it disappears.

here is an example script that you could base it off of (in XSE format):

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x8000000

#org @start
lock
giveitem 0x0 0x1 MSG_OBTAIN
hidesprite 0x?
setflag 0x1204
release
end

make sure the poke ball ID matches the setflag number, this makes the sprite disappear from the map forever (unless you use a clear flag)


And thanks to KhaosKnight and redriders180 for helping with my map problem, it works!

Alright, I know this question has come up in the past, just not in this thread....

In ruby, would you need to use ASM to determine which battle music comes up when facing a certain trainer? I am trying to give a certain trainer a certain battle music, but I can't figure it out...

I was wondering if it is possible to expand the space of tileset 1 in the right box of Advancemap?
What I'm trying to do is instead of having to find all of the Pokemon center and mart tiles in the mess of tileset 1 I want to just add mine to the bottom of the tileset like most people do with the empty space available in tileset 2. I hope that this question isn't to confusing.

At the moment, it is impossible to resize that tileset. I suppose with ASM and repointing, it COULD be possible, but I think it is a limitation by the hardware as a whole, though not 100% sure.

I'm having a bit of trouble with palettes. Using JPAN's hacked engine, I inserted one new palette. I recently edited palettes 3-A (aka the eight reserved palettes after the hero's and the reflection one) to my liking. However, I did not put the OW with that custom palette on the map yet. I know about the hardware limitations for one custom palette per screen, and in this case, I used none in this map. But when I go to palette viewer on the vba, I see that my custom palette has somehow overwritten palette three, even though it wasn't even used in the map.

On a side note, after doing these palette changes, for some reason on certain maps using my custom ows, they dissaper when walking on certain tiles, as if they somehow got set to "00" rather than "tile covered by hero". Idk if it's a direct cause of this or something different, but if anyone could help with that as well, it would be greatly appreciated. :)

You're complicating it too much. All you need is this part:

#dyn 0x740000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checksound
cry CELEBI 2
waitcry
pause 0x14
playsound 0x156 0x0
battle CELEBI 0x52 BLACKFLUTE
fadescreen 0x1
disappear 0xINSERT CELEBI'S PERSON EVENT #
fadescreen 0x0
setflag 0x807
release
end

Make sure that you set celebi's person ID to 807. The person event number can be found on A-MAP incase you didn't know.

Okay, I solved my own problem with the dissapearing OWs, I messed up the hex in the OW table...simple mistake lol.

As for the palette ordeal, I'm still stuck.
The custom palette, if I'm not mistaken, should take one of the last, if not the last, placeholder in the palette viewer, instead of taking over an existing palette. How come when I added this one, it took over one of the reserved palettes? I don't have any other custom palettes on the map...and even when that OW is not on the map, the custom palette is still there overwriting a reserved one.

[RetroRoller]

I have two big errors, help would be appreciated D: because I'm completely bamboozled.

First of all, the battle screen error which is horrendous to look at.


Second, the trainer theme error, I assembled and imported the .s files in Sappy, and looped it, and it plays fine in Sappy, but it gives me a HORRIBLE noise above the track. I tried a backup ROM and repointed, and stuff, I even checked the .S file and there's nothing wrong with it! (be warned, it's loud and an atrocity to listen to):

[darkprince909]

Occasionally, when I insert a new map into my ROM (right now I'm using Ruby, I've used Emerald and Fire Red before), I make the map too big or something, and it ends up overwriting and corrupting another map, or it screws with the number of blocks in the second tileset. Is there a way to keep this from happening? Maybe using a ROM base with all the scripts and maps removed, so there's no danger of overwriting stuff? If so, where could I find a base like that?

[WalkOn]

Is there a place where i can write about my own idea of a hack and get peoples opinion on it? i know there is the showcase forum but i dont have any progress yet and i just wanted to start writing and sharing my ideas and what i think its about and stuff. i hope there is such a section since i dont have made any big steps in making the hack, just putting together ideas, story ideas and world ideas.

greetz.

anybody know a link to hackmew's tileset animation editor?

[Flame999]

I was wondering how do you edit the number of items in a shop since i want to add some to some towns ect.

[Ash493]

All you need is to edit mart script.
There will be something like pokemart command and lots of #raw 0xsomething.
Just add #raw 0xhex number of item and that item will be available in the Mart.

[Flame999]

that sound easy but i have no clue on what to do when it comes to Hex edit since i get very lost when i see all those numbers

If you want to hack, you're going to have to familiarize yourself with hex. It's what the game is built on.

anybody know a link to hackmew's tileset animation editor?

I'm not sure if Hackmew made a tileset animation editor... Lu-Ho did make one, if thats' who you mean.

It's bad for the community to link to other forums but it's here. (Lu-Ho's)

NOTE: Does anyone have an answer to my question?

I believe XSE comes with items.rbh file which can be opened with XSE and you will see hex numbers of items there.

[MrSandman64]

Does anybody know the APE offsets for the male and female icons on the town map(the little head that shows your position on the map?

After I post my comment i saw the Hex number and I did some edit but I can't seem to remember how to add my edit script to Pewter City Mart and others i may do

[SpadeEdge16]

If someone could help me out here, it would really be appreciated.
Does anyone happen to have/know where I can get a list of all of the intro music for the trainers on A-trainer for FR? I want my trainers to have the right music, but there are WAY too many for me to test each one...

Then read some tutorials. That's all I can advise.

[Sark]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum and to rom-hacking in general, trying to follow XSE's native tutorial to progress a bit... '

Anyway, messing with tools. I want to add Axew and Deino to the game, to make a Dratini (Dragonpsychic), Axew (Dragonfighting) and Deino (Dragondark) Trio in the game. However I'm having some problems... First, Wichu's sprite editor is not working for me:
youtube.com/watch?v=oqAPa7dxRZk (not allowed to put links)

This said... I use Unlz to insert my sprites, and it works! (for the front sprites anyway). But this is ONLY when I change the original sprite with a sprite who's smaller! If the sprite is bigger and I need to repoint it, it ONLY changes the palette D:

youtube.com/watch?v=eyZiJ576MXY

I tried a lot of things, like not checking the "change palette" thing, but if I do this the sprite remain unchanged. The problem is that, it is correctly repointed! The sprite is at my new offset. D:

Anybody can help me on this?

If you've repointed it, unlz doesn't automatically change the sprite as the old one still exists in game at the offset it was at. Don't worry, however, as your Pokemon will still be inserted and will appear correctly in game.
