Tool: [RMXP] ROM Hacker XP

[Destrozone]

You can use either, they are the newest version.

 

[Manny626]

Nice! This will help a lot of people who want to make their hacks look more like DP.

 

[Wichu]

Updated with a new version. Now includes an easy-to-use Pokémon sprite editor - no more tedious indexing, having to memorise image offsets, or sorting out shiny palettes!

 

[~Frozen Darkness~]

You have officially outdone yourself now.

First, you make the de-capitilization patches, and now this?

I am very impressed.

Seeing as how you have the de-cap patch for Emerald, will this program have an ini for Emerald?

Question:

We can edit the ? & ?? and missingo sprites, right? I think........
thats what I thought when i looked at the pictures

It looks good

excuse me wichu, I know you should not be concerned about this, but I have a macbook, and am running crossover, the first version worked perfectly, but the new version 1.03 is extremely slow, I have to hold the mouse button down for about ten seconds each time I want to go to the next sprite...I'm wondering if you have any suggestions...

 

[Destrozone]

Wichu, you are a god! If you manage to incorporate item sprites, too, this program could very well succeed Unlz.gba as the next generation of ROM hacking! Good work.

Maybe in the future. If you know the offsets, you can actually do this yourself; look at how the other .inis are laid out, and replace the offsets with the ones for Emerald. If you do so, please post it in this thread :)

The first version only had an icon editor. The icon sprites aren't compressed, so they load very fast. However, the Pokémon sprites are compressed, so they take a while to load. I guess running it on Crossover wouldn't really help with that...
Instead of using the arrows, try clicking the Pokémon's name at the top, and jumping to the Pokémon you want to edit directly.
The tool is a lot slower compared to tools like unLZ-GBA, since RGSS (the language it's coded in) is interpreted rather than compiled. Basically, your computer has to read and make sense of every line of code in turn, rather than running a precompiled version. Maybe one day I might remake this with another programming language, to make it faster :)

Yes, you can edit the sprites of the glitch Pokémon.

Item sprites aren't that hard to edit in unLZ-GBA... Unlike Pokémon, which have two sprites (that require matching palettes), items only have one sprite and don't need to worry about matching normal/shiny/back palettes. But I guess it wouldn't be too hard to add...

Can you add a new feature to this tool?
I was wondering if you could add a battle backround inserter, so it's much easier for us.
Well good luck with the progress!

 

[Destrozone]

Yes, I agree! A custom battle background inserter sounds way better than an item sprite editor! (Although it also sounds a lot harder to program.......)

 

[Logan]

Well, everything in this tool is to do with sprite insertion. So why would he make a bg inserter? Also, why request it if Wichu hasn't even inserted a bg ever?

 

[Destrozone]

My bad =( No more requesting for me!

 

[KhaosKnight]

Looking at it, and i have to say im impressed. This will make some sprite management easier.

Also Could a TitleScreen editor be a useful asset to this tool? And what about a Trainer sprite editor? Or is this tool only meant for pokemon sprites?

 

[NarutoActor]

I download the latest version wow big improvements since you first posted the programs new features and now the program works for me I have one question after you insert a pokemon in a empty slot (? slot)How can you change the name

 

[~Frozen Darkness~]

Maybe in the future. If you know the offsets, you can actually do this yourself; look at how the other .inis are laid out, and replace the offsets with the ones for Emerald. If you do so, please post it in this thread :)

I'd be glad to make an Emerald ini. As you said, I'll post it here when I'm done with it. I don't have a lot of time to do this though, so it might not be done for a while.

 

[NarutoActor]

i have a problem I edit a icon and tryed importing it but this happened

 

[Zeffy]

This tool is perfect for me!
I want to make a game but also want to hack, thanks for this tool!

 

[Logan]

Wichu, the problem that narutoactor is saying also happens to me. I think I'll stick to unlz and IconED for the time being, as I am used to and find these tools very easy.

 

[Wichu]

I've uploaded a new version, fixing that bug and another bug MegaMaccer found (it would crash if an imported sprite had more than 16 colours).
I think your problem was that you didn't have a correctly-named icon in the Icons folder. If that happens now, it should give you a message instead of crashing :)

 

[liuyanghejerry]

Oh,I'm glad to see it updating so fast!
By the way ,the new two function are very nice!
