A-Map Names

Sorry to bother again, but I think my question got skipped.

Actually, if you are looking to make new map names, there is a way to do it for R/S/E roms only!
Firstly, you insert your new map under whichever header you want. Then, in the 'change name' list, scroll down and use one of the FR/LG map names eg. Pallet Town. In the sidebar, you will have a new map bank called 'Pallet Town'. Then, you change it's name to whatever you want to have a custom map name.

I actually just asked this (in the scripting thread though) - the response:



So it seems it's a no go on specific wild battles.

well, this helped alot. There was so much script there that i needed help finding the special commands required to activate/deactivate the code. I'll find my way from here.
When i finish, i'll post a tester of it in the hack im making, Pokémon shale.

Cry for help!

Hey, can I have some help with my Emerald hack?

On A-Map, I wanted to replace the gyms to look like Battle Tents so I transferred the right tiles onto Lilycove with the Block editor. However, it screwed up the other tiles and I had to start a new rom:(. Anyone know where I went wrong? Better still, a safer method of changing the tileset?

Pretty please? This question has been skipped maybe four times already!

Oh, okay then. Thank you. :)

uggghhhhh...... I recently installed vista on my comp because sappy wasnt working. I tried it in vista and it said i needed vbaCbEx6.ocx, so i put it in system32 folder and registered it. i open sappy again and it said "runtime error 329 ative x cannot create object" `then immediately after, "runtime error 424 vbaCboEx from vbaCbEx6.ocx isnt working or it is out of date". Can anyone help?

Sappy

Archon-you have to download Sappy from a more reliable source.
Sappy does not need to be in system32. The problem is, if you download it from Mahgnius (this site) it will be missing one of it's ActiveX components which it needs to work. There are actually download scripts for vbaCbEx6 if you google it, so nothing to worry about :).
Oh, finally: don't put Sappy in the C:\ Disk - it won't like it.

Any response would be appreciated! It has been the 5th time this question has been skipped (SOB!)!

 

[Wiimeiser]

Hey,

Thanks Christos and Prof.9,

This is to do with scripting again I'm afraid (only started learning last night).

I'm fine with getting someone to say for example:

"Here have my Charizard." and then for you to recieve a charizard however if you keep talking to them you keep getting a charizard.

So I thought I'd try and make it so you get one and thats it which i presumed flags were necessary for. I've done some script but its not right somewhere and i was just hoping that someone would be able to explain what I need to add/change.

This is the script:

#org 0x800000
setflag 0x64
checkflag 0x64
compare LASTRESULT YES
if 1 0x800200
message 0x800100
boxset 0x2
clearflag 0x64
end
#org 0x800100
= Here, take my Charizard.
#org 0x800200
givepokemon 0x06 0x1E 0x118

any help appreiciated,
-Davie-

Found that there on page 1.
I'm having a similar problem. Item balls I place won't disappear when I pick them up. I've searched through the script (below) and I've done all I can think of...

BTW, I haven't decided what Pokemon to give yet, I changed 85 (Eevee) to 185 (Cradily) though.


@Bozter
The only thing I can think of is to modify the actual graphics somehow instead of using another tileset. That always works.

 

[PastaPen]

@Bozster that happens to me too... I can't find a solution but a safer way is backing up your tilesets, 'cos if it messes up your other blocks just load up your tilesets, again so you won't have to start your game again.

There's loads of tools, and not just specific for FR, Check out the "Toolbox" and the "Documents and Tutorials" section, under "Emulation". As for Scripting there's many tutorials for that in Documents and Tutorials, there's 2 main scripting tools, (That I know of) called XSE or Pokescript I think you get can them both from Toolbox.

you need to search free space for it,put the code you found on the person at A-MAP.then click open script on the map the script will show only the offset that you found then insert the script then click compile.
and please someone answer my question about mew....

Does anyone know of a program or way to convert bmp or png files to 0-F text like in Poketex? Or is there a term to describe the text to properly search for one?

Thanks,

Does anyone know if I can import indexed sprites into OWEditorRE?
The way you can import PKMN in UnLZ?

Yup, you just import bitmap file and your done. Then you fix a few things up xD

I was wondering how to post a map on the map rating thread off of advance map when i try to save it and upload it the file it is not a picture file?? please help...

Answer

That should be possible, as long as it does not have more than 16 colours. If that doesn't work, paste it onto paint and save to un-indexify it.

Btw: Firaaz, Wiimeiser, thanks for the responses.

If you can't save the map, just press the 'Print Screen' key on your keyboard then paste it onto Paint or something and save it. If the map is too big to fit into the screen, just copy and paste it in chunks.

 

[metapod23]

I need to know if there's a way (a special command or something) to reset the sprite of the main character to its walking sprite after initiating the special 0x157 bike command. I just want the character to instantly get off the bike and be walking again. Is this possible?

Just reposting this. Any way to automatically get the player off the bike that doesn't look too funky? I even tried a doanimation script, but the only one that made it work was the fly animation, which then made the sprite move extra fast for some reason. Is there any script I can use to force the main character from the bike sprite to the normal walking sprite?
