Pet

Ok, I've been trying to use PET but everything is going wrong. I'm using a Pokémon Ruby ROM and i have pokeroms.ini, PET and Ruby all in the same folder... But every time i try to edit a trainer, it comes up with an error: 'pics/pkmn-04b.bmp not found' I was tryinbg to edit Roxanne. Can anybody help me?

Did you dump the R/S trainer sprites with RS Ball?

 

[Jeremy]

hitme2k5, sweetie. The thing you need to do is to export all the sprites using RS Ball. Put them in a folder named "pics" then name them accodordingly.
Example:
Bulbasuar : pkmn-001.bmp
Ivysaur: pkmn-002.bmp

Remember, you're naming by they their hexidecimal so consult a chart if ya need to sweetie.

To ssj, to edit events just edit their scripts, sweetie.

To gs135790:
- Yes, but it might require ASM hacking, and that would require some programming knowledge.
- Just change the warps Map, Map bank, and warp to. You might want to experiment and compare ofher warps to get the place you want, sweetie.

To Deka: Well here's some ghetto methods:
1. Use TLP, highlight the sprite and goto edit/export to bitmap.

Method if you just want to export and not edit.
2. Take a screenshot.
3. Open spread. Capture the screen by pressing the Print, prt scm button on your keyboard. Then open open, click on the dotted square button. the right click and paste.

Ok, I have no idea what ASM hacking is, so I just wont try to do that.

Thanks, Jeremy.

I attempted to read through all of this but 43 pages is to much so I'd like to know:

How do you change gym leaders Pokemon in advance map. If you can't use that or if there is a simpler way, what is it, and how do I do it.

I'm new to rom hacking and I'm trying to translate pokemon tcg into my language.
However, I have a problem.

I can reach to the words without a table editor. Opening the rom with a hex editor is enough for it.

The text is like this:
..HAND..CHECK..ATTACK..PKMN POWER..DONE..TYPE..RETREAT..WEAKNESS..RESİSTANCE..

As you see, the words are separated from each other with .. symbols which are coded as 0006. In this way, I can change the words between those symbols. For example, if I change the word ATTACK into SALDIR, which is the meaning of it in my language, I have no problem. However, if the English word is longer, I cannot translate it. For instance, as I try to translate the word DONE into BITTI moving .. symbols, the next word disappears.

Are there any solutions for this problem? How can I move .. symbols without corrupting the next word?

Thanks.

Now, I managed to find a pointer-calculation program for TCG, however I cannot turn offsets into pointers because I don't even know what a pointer is.

Are there anyone who can explain it more clearly?

Euhm...

sorry, i'm kind of a n00b can you please make it more euhm.. easy :P

Problems with emerald

None of the elitemap tools (3.7) work with my Emerald roms.

when i open the rom in PET the pokemon names don't show up and it gives weird "names"
and if i select a name i get an Run time error "6" Overflow.

if i open the rom in Elitemap i get an Run time error "9" Subscript out of range.

In Base edit i get this message: Rom supported but monster base stats are not sprecified in database.

what is the problem ? i tried a few roms, all US roms.

edit: Advance map works

 

[Sharanza]

[Chris-h11]

gaara2k5: Go here:
Pokemon Emerald (E)

It will tell you what to do

Knaspergold: Check the script database, it says something about getting a different pokemon if you are a boy or a girl

The search isn't working, so if this has already been answered somewhere, I'm sorry.

(Silver Version)Whats the easiest way to edit the Gym Leaders/E4?

Help with PET.

Hey guys, it's good to be back here. My question was whether anyone else has the same error with the trainer editing program PET as I do. Upon changing the Gym Leader's Pokemon's attacks in Pokemon Sapphire, the in-game version of their Pokemon have some very strange attacks, not the ones I set. If anyone knows what is up with it, I would appreciate an assist.
BTW: I have searched the forums pretty well for this topic and my results were inconclusive at best. I was unable to obtain a sufficient amount of information to help me.

Thanks!!!

Stupid Question...

I'm fairly new to this hacking thing....I have most of the programs but I have a question: When you make your hack, is it possible to put it back onto the handheld Gameboy?

 

[Lord Mike]

This should be asked in Simple Questions.

I heard there is a special USB cable that connects the GameBoy Advance with the VisualBoy Advance or whatever emulator you have and you can load the ROMs onto empty game packs.

 

[JouninJ]

if you used Elitemap you should be able to do so if you move the correct event

 

[ssj]

Can somone tell me how i can change the sprites around in fire red so that you play as the rival.
