You know you use.....

#raw 53
#raw [event number of the person]
#raw 00

to hide a sprite.

Well on each map the event munbers reset....so what would you do if you wanted to show/hide a sprite on a differant map to the one the script is inserted into?

how to change the city's location in the worldmap, with hex editing (without elitemap)

The structure for the World-Map location data in Hex is the following:

[X position (1 byte)][Y position (1 byte)][Width (1 byte)][Height (1 byte)]

Now, if you would have told us the ROM you need them for, we coul have given you the offsets aswell.

->Drem: Why can't you just use EliteMap?
And:

I seem to have some trouble with a rubikon script:

As you can probably see, I have chosen a random flag name. But, that flag never seems to change to 1, because the battle script keeps repeating itself everytime I talk to the guy. Also I created another script (Used a random flag, it was 1155.) and the flag changed back to 0 everytime I walked 2 levels away.

Flag values can not be retrieved by the "compare" command.
In order to get the value of a flag, you have to use the following command combo:

checkflag 0x[flag here]
if 0x1 jump 0x[offset here]

Also, it could happen that the flags you used were already in use by another event.

In that case, just try different flag values. (Such as 10A.)

You know you use.....

#raw 53
#raw [event number of the person]
#raw 00

to hide a sprite.

Well on each map the event munbers reset....so what would you do if you wanted to show/hide a sprite on a differant map to the one the script is inserted into?

That is not possible.
However, you could combine the hiding script with a flag check, and assign it to a trigger event that is executed when you enter the map.
That way, you can set a flag on one map, and if it's set, the trigger event will hide the sprite on the other map when you enter it.

I've decided to use the fr/lg way of choosing a starter pokemon in my ruby hacy (selecting a ball from the table).
I've used this script but the pokeball wont hide:

#org 0x6b0b70
checkflag 0x01
if 1 0x700000
message 0x6b0ba0
boxset 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x0 jump 0x6c0000
fanfare 0x172
message 0x877800
boxset 0x6
waitfanfare
setflag 0x01
givepokemon 0x01 0x05 0x00
#raw 53
#raw 05
#raw 00
release
end

#org 0x700000
message 0x700100
boxset 0x6
end

#org 0x6c0000
release
end

#org 0x700100
= Don't be greedy!

#org 0x6b0ba0
= Do you want Bulbasaur?

#org 0x877800
= You chose Bulbasaur.

From the Docs/Tuts section:

Enter these numbers in unLZ-GBA to get to the following things:

herogirl-fire red:1176
heroboy-fire red:1178
oak-fire red:1179
gary-fire red:1180

212 = Gamefreak logo
252 = Pokemon hero running etc.
253 = Pokemon heroin running etc.
254 = Pokemon rival back side etc.
255 - 257 = pokemon battle spot where u sit on and finding pokemon
356 = some weird thing
395 = Numbers for the game
406 = Some weird drodrio moving its head
419 - 431 = all of the balls open/close
646 = fighting signs, kick, punch etc.
648-9, 2048 = substitute pokemon
668 - 1443 = Pokemon in the game
1176 = herogirl
1178 = heroboy
1179 = oak-fire red
1180 = gary
1444 = pokemon egg
1445-1498 = unknowns
1499 - 1646 = spirites
1555, 1556 = RSE pokemon hero rival spirites
1605, 1623, 1624 = rival sprite
1634, 1635 = FRLF spirites
1676 = some earthquake
1689 = pokemon status
1694-1695 = bag
1720 - 1932 = items, first ones are the balls
1972 - 1974 = pokedex commands
2016 = some weird message from gamegreak
76 = pictures of the palettes for the maps

The problem I have here is, Professor Oak at 1179 looks remarkably like the back of a Torchic.

Am I reading something wrong?

Gary appears to have Combusken pox, and so on and so forth for the hero and heroine.

Becose i us a french merald, and i have found offsets only for pet and rsball...

thanks, but i have found milliards from "01000100

The script looks fine to me.
Are you sure that you used the correct event number?

You have to run a deep scan, in order to use the list above.
"File -> Run deep scan".

Since I don't have a French Emerald ROM, I can only give you the offsets for the English one.
However, if you copy the bytes from the English one, and search them in the French one, you can easily find the offset yourself.

Emerald English: 5A147C (Hex)

 

[Jonny Buuz]

Well, when it's not in deep scan, it's Pokemon, and when it's in deep scan, it's just garbage.

Should've said that in the first post, sorry.

Any suggestions? It's back on normal scan if that matters.



EDIT: Also, that whole list works fine in regular scan, just not Oak and Gary and whatnot.

 

[drem]

i know how, i have fond the all offsets for (advance-mart, advance attack, N.A.E, pet, pokéamplifier...) but i don't found these for "maps" and "map labels" for elite map.

The deep scan only applies to the first 3 entires of the list.
All of the other entries use the normal mode.

I just verified those 3 entries by doing a deep scan, and the numbers are correct.
If they differ in your ROM for some reason, try going back/forward a few entries. You will find them in 256 / Black White mode.

i know how, i have fond the all offsets for (advance-mart, advance attack, N.A.E, pet, pokéamplifier...) but i don't found these for "maps" and "map labels" for elite map.

The "MapLabels" and "Maps" offsets in the "PokeRoms.ini" file in EliteMap lead to a Pointer, this Pointer differs in a ROM that has a different language, therefore, you can't find it.
To get around this, follow the pointer in the English ROM, and search for the data that you find at that offset in the French one. Now turn the offset you found them at into a Pointer, and you'll have the offset that you have to add in your INI file.

For the Labels, it's a bit different, since they are in a different language, and therefore, differ bytewise.
Here, you search for the Map-Name list in your French ROM with a Hex-Editor and Table file.
Once you are there, turn the starting offset into a Pointer, and search it. When you find it, you have the offset that you have to enter at the "MapLabel" entry in the INI file.

Thanks Scizz

And this site looks great now, not to mention it runs fully functional now :) I can finally access this topic

I am now creating a hack on Pokemon Emerald and I like to change the music in trainer battles to give it more variety and that normal trainer music is boring. I have tried pet.exe but the names are very weird and when I click on 1 I get run-time error 6 (I have all the neccesary files), and Advancebattle (it can change the music, right?) is nowhere to be found.

Which program allows me to change the music in trainer battles? And where can it be found?

 

[Leo~chan]

I have removed the event of regulating the clock and that one of the university professor in danger… And then, I up do not see more the labels with the names of the cities… Exists one script in order to activate them? Thanks a lot ^°^!
(Bleah! My Bad English ;__;!)

The only specialised program to change the TrainerBattle music byte is PET.
The other method is to use a Hex-Editor.

I just loaded PET, together with an Emerald ROM, and it's working fine.
You might have to add the correct offsets to your PokeRoms.ini file first, as it is not supported by EliteMap by default.
You can fin dthe offsets in the Documents forum. If you added them, and it still doesn't work, I will give you the structure for the data in Hex.

I just tried to reproduce the error, and disabled the Clock setting event, as well as the Professor event on the Route.
Result: The Map labels are still showing up.

Make sure you didn't corrupt anything while editing. The easiest way to fix it, is to go back to your backup copy and carefully re-do the changes you made.

Whene i insert new tiles in Fire red rom

all tiles are messed up like this

see that lines in market pokecenter etc

pleas help

 

[Green Charizard]

Did you use unLZ.gba? If so was "Auto abort if new data is bigger" ticked, if not that can sometimes cause that.

 

[Christos]

Did you insert the tiles with Advance map? Then it's probably cause you inserted new tiles with palette 0. Sometimes the tiles mess up when you edit or insert them with palette 0.

 

[Smarties-chan]

I ran a search on it, but couldn't find anything, so could someone please tell me where the regular trainer battle offsets in Pokémon Firered start? Also, what is the offset for the script where Professor Oak gives you the Pokédex?

Pokémon Ruby/saphire/ Emerald (US, ES, FR) management of time (weather) Day / night

Hello, I look for a script to be inserted to allow to make a Day / night system.

It is rather easy, it is enough to create a script with the meteorological commands(orders) and to insert it into the clock.

It is necessary to find this script.

Can you help me?

I heard(understood) that the creator of diamond cuter knew him(it).

Is it true?

Ah yes, this script also has to walk(work) with the French versions (Ruby, saphire and émerald).

It is everything.
Good day.

The Trainer Battle data for Fire-Red starts at offset 23EAF1 (Hex).
And the PokéDEX branch of Prof. Oak's script is located at 16961E (Hex).

There is no script that implements a day/night system into any of these games.
In order to implement something like this, you would have to add a script, that continously checks a certain variable for its value (the time variable), and depending on it, toggles the weather effects on the map.

However, this is kind of impossible to realize, as that script would have to run in an endless loop to shift the weather on the exact time, thus, blocking other scripts from execution.
So, unless you are able to use ASM hacking techiques to modify the in-game engine to check this, it's not possible to add it.

Physical/special switch up in R/S/E

Since attacks in Diamond and Pearl will still have type affinities but be based on either Physical or Special stats, I was wondering if there was any way to do the same thing in R/S/E.

Does anyone know if it is possible to hack a game to run in a similar fashion to D/P? I had always wished Crabhammer was a physical move or that I could change Crush Claw to a dark move and base it off attack. It's not a big deal, but I'd really like to change these things.
