[Other] Oak's Intro FireRed

[GamerChief222]

I am making another hack, this time Fire Red, and I'd like to know if there's possible to edit Oak's Intro (what he says) without using A-Text.
A-Text is buggy, some pieces of Oak's Intro is blank, but in the gameplay isn't, and all editing doesn't show up in game.

Just search the offset in a-text then change the pointer to the pointer of the text you compiled..

Yeah, you can edit them in a hex editor manually. I would recommend just repointing the pointers and making your own strings.

Pointers:
081C5D06
081C5DEA
081C5E13
081C5E2E
081C5E91
081C5EB5
081C5EC5
081C5EF4

I think that's all of them. Be very careful when editing these strings, the lengths ect are not limited if you repoint, however, they use fdecoder and as such there will be bytes like "0xFD 0xrandom byte". Those are substituted inline when being read, so ignore them for now. Explaining them would kind of be a hassle, but if you get that far, come along to the ASM help thread and I'll help you along further.

You can also use LSAs Intro Text Editor. It's pretty helpful. It'll show you the intro as it goes and how the text comes out.
Search around here, You'll find it.

While we're on that note, does anyone know Birch's text offsets (intro)?

There is a tool called advance intro edit.
