how do i put sprites in me threads?

 

[HackMew]

how do you remove the machokes from being in your living room when you first move in???

Select the first Machoke and change its Move type to Hidden, then change its People ID to 0000. Do the same for the other Machoke. Finally put both on the very top of the map. Save the ROM and you're done.

Question: Is it possible to move the "True" Double Battle Script (you and someone else vs. two other people) to Fire Red? If so, what is the Script?

.....................anyone? :/

1. Well, I hope that you have a backup because it seems that you overwrot some important data. If you can get the backup, try to make changes step by step checking if the PC still work. In this way you'll trace what corrupted the PC's script.

2. Uhm, what program did you use to insert the sprite?

3. To edit that text it's better to use an hex editor which support table files, like Thingy32/Translhextion for example. The presentation text can be edited just like a common textbox; keep in mind that the max length is 42 (or 40? I don't remember at the moment) instead of 36.

1) Aww, really?

I have a crapload of back-ups, but now I have to re-do all of Route 2 and a bunch of text in AdvanceText... D:

2) I'm using unLZ.GBA.

3) Okay, thanks. I'll try that.

My script isn't triggering when the player steps on it. Its supposed to move the player, but nothing is happening.

#org 0x800050
Checkflag 0x26A
if 0x1 goto 0x800100
setflag 0x26A
applymovement 0xFE 0x800110
release
end

#org 0x800100
end

#org 0x800110
#raw 0x60
#raw 0x35
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0xFE

3) I can't seem to fix the beginning text in the box with a Pikachu on it. Take a look at Zel's example from Shiny Gold:

I've loaded up the three parts of the entering text into AdvanceText, but whenever I edit it...Well...

I understand that the reason that happens is because AdvanceText only edits the smaller text boxes, not that huge beast.

But, I need to know how Zel managed to edit the text without it coming out as NPC-talking-size. Is there a program that I already may have that edits what it says?

Thanks in advance,
~Diggeh

The easiest way is to edit text in advance text editor (search for it in toolbox forum). All you need is to find the text and turn on the special dialog button and the text will appear to be normal.

I want to find the offset for the charizard in the FR
title screen to use with advanced pallette editor, how?

 

[mattheulmcinnis]

it is in the tutorials section but here is the offset. 2011

#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0xFE

I think it is suppose to be

applymovement 0x800110 0xFE

0xFE always goes at the end.

I think you should have it in Sapphys fromat which I don't know what the format is this is the best I can do for you.

I need help because on my pokemon firered game that I am hacking the Hoenn and Jhoto pokemon try to evolve and they can't. why is that?

 

[bxela1]

My hack is moving along quite well and I just wondered how much of my game should be finished before I should post it in the Hacks showcase and how much longer after that until I should post a BETA?

2) I'm using unLZ.GBA.

I've just inserted the two Piplon's sprites wiht unLZ.GBA and I got the same problem. Taking a closer look, I saw that the palette used in the backsprite is not "well-formed". Well, probably you won't understand what I mean. So, try to see a normal Pokémon like Bulbasaur etc. and compare his normal palette with the shiny one. Then do the same thing for your Piplon. I'm sure you'll see the difference.

I cant remember how to edit pallets, there was a tutorial a while ago but its gone now... can someone point me in the direction of a guide or tell me how to? Thanks :) BTW, Hackmew, your tools are amazing!

Well, there's a little tutorial in the Documents and Tutorial section. If you can wait, anyway, I'll post a tutorial for APE.

My script isn't triggering when the player steps on it. Its supposed to move the player, but nothing is happening.

When using applymovement to move the player you have to use 0xFF, not 0xFE.

Try this:

#org 0x800050
checkflag 0x26A
if 0x1 goto 0x800100
applymovement 0xFF 0x800110
setflag 0x26A
release
end

#org 0x800100
release
end

#org 0x800110
#raw 0x60
#raw 0x35
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0xFE

I want to find the offset for the charizard in the FR
title screen to use with advanced pallette editor, how?

The easiest way is to use the search function. Open VBA, load the ROM and once on the titlescreen open the Palette Viewer. From there, save the background as a PaintShop palette or as an Adobe Color Table. Open APE, import the palette you just saved and change the index until you find the Charizard's palette. At this point, search it in the ROM and edit it as you like.

I need help because on my pokemon firered game that I am hacking the Hoenn and Jhoto pokemon try to evolve and they can't. why is that?

You need to enabled the National Dex otherwhise they will never evolve. In the Documents and Tutorials you can find a neat tutorial about it.

Also don't answer with wrong and pointless answer, please.

My hack is moving along quite well and I just wondered how much of my game should be finished before I should post it in the Hacks showcase and how much longer after that until I should post a BETA?

It totally depends on you. You decide.

 

[bxela1]

It totally depends on you. You decide.

well then i'll finish 2 towns then post and i'll finish 2 gyms before I post a BETA.

ADDED: YAY! 1st town done.

I am sorry if this question has been asked in this thread already but is it possible to increase the maximum level of a pokemon from 100 to (for example) 250

I think it would require ASM but I have no idea how it could be made.

 

[willypiggy]

Ah, didnt see that, thanks, I think i'll wait for an APE tutorial, I'm a bit too lasy to go and edit the Hex :P

Is there a script offset for the titlescreen? in FR

 

[Youji]

Is there a script offset for the titlescreen? in FR

I don't think so but you can use unLZ.gba to edit it. But don't ask how. There's a tut how to make it in the Documents and Tutorials forum.

Waht are the pallette offsets for the tilesets in FR?
