Thanks!

Thanks!

No problem! Make sure to credit the people who made the tutorials!

Can anyone tell me how to connect two maps correctly without changing tilesets?

Either put a gate inbetween (or any kind of warp) or only use tiles that are in the primary tileset near the area where the two maps connect. After like 6 blocks in (iirc) the map has loaded the new second tileset. Just play around in VBA and edit your map accordingly.

Really need help understanding the surf script.

Spoiler:

#org 0x271EA0
checkattack 0x39 'Checks if you have a Pokemon that knows surf.
compare LASTRESULT 0x6 'no idea
if 0x1 goto 0x8271ED6 ' If you don't have a pokemon with surf goto 'end'
bufferpokemon2 0x0 LASTRESULT 'stores the pokemon that knows surf'
setanimation 0x0 LASTRESULT 'no idea
lockall
msgbox 0x8272FD6 '"The water is dyed a deep blue[.]\nW..."
callstd 0x5 'yes/no
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto 0x8271ED5 'if no goto 'end'
msgbox 0x827300D '"[buffer1] used SURF!"
callstd 0x4 'doesn't close the box
doanimation 0x9 'does the surf animation
releaseall
end

Changing the text is easy enough but no matter what I do I can't change the 'checkattack', it only works if a Pokemon has surf even when I remove that part. Also where does it check for the badge requirement?

Thanks, this is driving me crazy

It should help with modifying Surf.

Ok I understand what my problem is, from the thread you showed me there is another area where more requirements are made. To remove the HM requirement in FireRed you just put 00 at 0x6D588 - 0x6D589. This would be the solution if I was hacking FireRed but I'm hacking Emerald and I have no idea where the HM check is. I've spent hours searching for a similar hex string but changing 0C D1 to 00 00 (after removing the check in the actual script) seems to do nothing. (It probably does something somewhere but after testing it, I just go back to my backup copy).

i edited eevee's evolutions to espeon and umbreon to evolve with sun/moon stone but when i use it it says "HUH" and nothing happens, and i still have that stone i used... i also enabled evolutions without national dex with MISC.EDITOR program and yet nothing..
what could it be ?
also i made those items buyable at celadon store ..

Last I checked, Pokémon in Gen 3 were limited to five possible evolutions only. Unless someone made a tutorial on how to change that, you'll have to work around it.

try doing this instead

At 0xCE91A change the next 4 bytes to 00 00 14 E0. This makes the previously conditional branch into an unconditional branch, which fixes the evolutions.

I have that but still nothing ..

Go to that same offset and change the 97 there to FB with a hex editor. It should allow all Pokémon including and following Celebi to evolve without the National Dex.

In FireRed, there's a color command called [black_fr]. It makes the text black, right? Is there a command like that for Emerald?

There's a whole bunch of message codes for Emerald, but the one you are looking for is [darkgrey_em]. To look at them all in detail, open up XSE, press F2 to open the guide and then click 'Appendix > Message Codes'.

Sadly, its not dark enough, but thanks, anyway!

Alternatively, you might modify the palette of the textbox. There are several values which handle the text colors too. Offset: 0x471DEC :-)

Copy the original 4 bytes from a clean FireRed ROM, then change the 97 to an FB. ;) That's the modified code.
