300 is decimal, and stands for 12C in Hex.
All you have to do is to convert Sappy's song numbers to Hex, and use them in Advance-Map.

Ok, thanks.
Is it the same for the battles with PET?

VERY new to Pokemon hacking

Hi,I am a big fat son of a Slaking newb face!Anyways,everytime I use a program other then Advance Map I get a run time error,and when I use a Advance Text,I always get a error that its missing "settings.ini" which it has settings.ini RIGHT NEXT TO IT!Then I get another "run time"error

Please help me fix all these anoying problems.=)
1 newb can turn into the richest man in the world,look at bill gates!He started somthing in the garage and now...he has a sky scraper!I wont succeed unless I try =)

Try extracting VBA into a clean (new) folder, or delete/rename your VBA.ini file to something different like "vba2.ini".
It's possible that some settings were unintentionally changed, that stop the games from playing.

If that fails as well, you should consider going back to one of your system restore point, from when it still worked.

Thank you so much Scizz for all your help! It now works fine!

Advance-Text requires the ini-files to be in a folder called "ini".
Create the folder, and place the "settings.ini" file in it.

What error do you get, if you want to start Advance-Map?
Please tell us the exact error number/name and description.

Have have indexed your image wrong.
The white box around the Pokémon appears, because the first color in the image's palette does not match the background color of the image.

The game will always use the first color of the palette, and display it transparent.

Re-indexing the image will fix your problem.

 

[O.G. Duke]

Did you mean the new pokemon background colour not match to the mewtwo background colour before i replacing? I not so understand...sorry....If you can, please explain to me again....

Sorry for my broken english...

 

[The Dash]

What he means is. You will need to go into a program like Photoshop and edit the image's pallete so that White is the first colour.

Hi, how do I change the pokemons names and attacks?

Use Name Editor Advance or Advance text to edit names. Then about attack, I dont know it sorry...

I already tried using the search feature, but due to my newbie-ness nothing relevent came up.

Anyways, is there is way to edit the player's sprite using Advance Map?

 

[DarkVirusMan]

I believe the program dexter does that. it comes with elitemap

check the tools section for the tools and website reference listings to find this.

There is no way to edit any sprites with Advance-Map.
For that, you can use the Overworld Sprite Editor, which is obtainable from the Tools Showcase.

There are currently two methods you can use:
- Use a Hex-Editor and Table file
- Use Advance-Text

Both are obtainable from a site, listed in the Hacking Tools Reference in the Tools Showcase.

I've been trying to script lately, and I'm trying to do a completely overhaul of all non-ASM elements of the game starting from the beginning (I've already finished the title screen and Birch Intro)

I understand scripting except for 2 parts right now.

1) How do you know which setflag variables do what? I've seen them in a ton of scripts I've been looking through and I don't know what they trigger.

2) I can't find the exact location for the starting script where you get off of the truck and MOM starts talking to you. I've found the general location based on the pointer to the text and I thought it started at 0x1436D1, but when I open the location in ScriptED, it doesn't read it correctly, and when I recompile it, it changes all the 0xAE's into 0xB6's and the 0x51's into 0x28's in the hex editor. So I just assume that I'm not opening the script at the right location (I can't find the pointer to the script from that location in the ROM anyways), or mabye its something more than that?

Heres what ScriptED reads (it doesn't look right due to those weird call functions and #raw commands)

I apologize if this had already been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything directly relevant using the search function here... all I found was an inconclusive thread on Acmlm's Board using Google.

Everythings to seems to okie, did you repoint the script aswell sweetie?

Maybe you deleted my post before, but i am pretty sure this wasn't answered before, so i will try to explain better. I have searched multiple times this thread, putting "trainers", "trainerbattle" or things like that. I have seen many scripts, but in all of them the trainerbattle command uses an existing ID. I mean, they are actually adding a new sprite to act like a trainer, but they aren't adding a new ID for it, they are using existing IDs, so the battle will have the same pokemons as the old trainer with that ID.
In emerald the last ID for a trainer is 352, i actually made a large table with all trainers, their IDs, and their pokemons. Some of them have attacks too (like the gym leaders). I know the last id for a trainer used in emerald should be 352. I want for example to add new IDs (from 360 to 3FF for example) and add also the data of the pokes they have.

EDIT:
Another thing: i wrote a new thread in Hacks Showcase, with a fairly simple hack but i think it will be interesting to many people. I read the rules, but it didn't appear. The unique rule it didn't respect is the one about screenshots, but this is because there aren't actually any good screenshots to take, because i didn't edit any maps, sprites or another graphic, just all hexediting...

EDIT FOR THE EDIT:
The thread appeared, after 2 days...:D

 

[shirokiryuu]

What programs can change pallette colors for overworld sprites besides Paint Shop Pro? And how?

(I used the search function and only found a tutorial on PSP)
