Anyone got a good document on the map format of GSC?

Reposting this.

Seriously! Does anybody know about GSC's map format?

 

[colcolstyles]

I looked, and I can't find it! I'm serious!

Here's a link. Next time, try to look a little harder before asking.

This "Pokemon Crystal Glass" is what you would call a "hack". A hack is simply when someone takes a ROM and uses tools to change maps, scripts, events etc. Pokemon Crystal is an official game from Gamefreak and Nintendo. Pokemon Crystal Glass is non-official. (This means that Gamefreak and Nintendo didn't make it)


EDIT: Does anyone know how to remove the girl feature? (It goes with the storyline better. And I'm not SEXIST.)

Can anybody help me with A-Text? I want to edit what Prof. Oak is saying. It's just that it gets that "missing dll" thing when you "run" it. I downloaded comdlg32.ocx and comclt32.ocx to system32 and it STILL doesn't let me play around with A-Text. (And yes, I searched it in "run") ANY HELP!?!

Removing the girl feature requires ASM hacking.
As for A-Text, try putting the required files in the A-Text folder. If it still doesn't work, you might always consider using a hex editor which support tables, considering A-Text is a bit buggy.

How do you disassemble ASM routines?

For instance, if I wanted to edit the wild Ralts that appears during the Wally event in R/S/E, how do I know where the routine that controls the Wild Pokemon event is located?

That's called "debugging", I guess. Anyway, first of all you should check the scripts and find the special that executes the Wally event. Then, you should find the special's routine, and study it.

That's what I was trying to ask.

Basically, the special in Emerald is 0xA0, but how am I supposed to find the special's routine?

When placing trees to be cut, you must assign them a person ID correct?
What ID's are usuable?

0012 and up. Just make sure that trees on the same map don't share a number. Looking at Nintendo maps though, the highest I've seen is 0016, and they all start with 0012. I don't think it will be a problem is you use above 0016 though, just It might be a problem if you double them up on the same map - never tried this though.

For example, by putting a breakpoint on read on the address of the special's value inside the script, and analyzing what happens next.

If some trees would share the same ID (which is a flag, BTW), upon cutting one, all the others with the same ID should disappear as well. Which is obviously not what you want.

Hello.

I have a question and I do hope someone has the answer. On firered during the battle through the E4 there is a little seqence that shows you and the trainer your battling on the screen. What triggers that a special? And if so what special is it because I'd like to use it for my hack.

 

[U.Flame]

Well I lost internets (AGAIN)! But while I'm at my aunt's I thought I'd ask a quick question. What activates the mixing records thingy? A badge, a script? What do you have to do to get access to the mixing records room. If I can enable it from the start of the game, my demo will be closer to completion!

Did you actually try decompiling the scripts there?

It depends what mixing records thingy are you referring to exactly.

 

[HackChu]

Yeah I have but there are alot of specials. I'm no beginner here so I know how to check and look at scripts, that's why I'm asking because there were alot of specials. I bet that I might have to make a battle like the E4 battle huh?

Please there has to be an alternative...isn't there?

EDIT:I bet I have to do trainerbattle 0x3 right?

Well, well... even if there are a lot of specials, you can still make a little script and try them one by one.

It depends what mixing records thingy are you referring to exactly.

In the 2nd floor of the Pokemon Center, there are three multiplayer related rooms. Trading, battling, and mixing records. I don't know about trading and battling but the mixing records room isn't avalaible at the start of the game. I want to know what enables it so I can make it avaliable at the beginning.

 

[HackChu]

I've tried and neither of them uses that little thing that flashes across the screen....

I thought that even you knew how to do it HackMew...

Well, I do know. I just don't remember the exact values etc. right now. I'll edit this post later with more info. Stay tuned.

Okay. Did you decompile the script there? I guess it might even be a simple flag check.
