    Not everything from 900000 to 96FFFF is used, but thats the space I will utilise.
    907000 is eventually going to be used by further move effects and battle scripts.
    If you want to add anything new, start at 970000.

    Hey sorry to bother you again, you know how earlier you said your patch covers the offsets 900000-96FFFF, I have been looking at the Hex editor and you only seem touse the space from like 900000-906000, So would i be able to use the offsets 907000 and I am not planning on adding any updates from your patch?

    Oh right! Uh yeah I guess applying my patch, and then putting JPans thing again, should be fine. I haven't tested that but I guess it makes sense. It's not just the deleting, if you have changed the map sizes and the map names it might prevent the thing from being read in advancemap. My recommendation would just be to start again, and copy the maps and things over into the new rom.

    Yeah I already applied JPANs hack engine.

    However Im just curious as to if I applied your hack engine and then applied JPANs hack engine AGAIN, would everything be okay? I know the maps and offsets would all be deleted from the maps, I don't care too much about that. I'm not THAT far in my game where it would take too long to restart everything :P

    I thought you said Jpan's Engine Patch was already on the rom?
    If you've changed maps or map names and pokemon names information etc.
    Then the hack won't be compatible with my patch at all.

    Hmm okay what would happen if I used your hack applier, then JPANs hack applier on my ROM? By the way thanks a lot for helping me! It means a lot to me! Also the patch is really cool, good job! :)

    If you had not used Jpan's thing you could probably have used it.

    My patch only works with Jpan's engine if you apply my hack FIRST. Because my thing decapitalises the scripts, so because the scripts are removed and where they were is now code, bits of it will be overwritten with decapitalised words.

    Oh hmmmm then mind if I ask you something?

    If in my ROM I used the patch and I had nothing in the 900000-96FFFF Slots, it wouldn't change anything?

    I already used JPAN's hack applier, so that deleted all the unused scripts, so if I apply your applier it won't change anything?

    What do you mean by offsets that are affected? The only things that are changed are moves, abilities, type information etc.
    Basically all the patch information is in the region 900000-96FFFF

    It doesn't change trainer or sprite offsets back to the vanilla ones, it just changes the default Fire Red text.

    Patches don't work by being able to choose where to put offsets, it would need a custom tool and would require a LOT of repointing even in the tool (which I wouldn't
    be able to program anyway) due to the nature of battle scripts and ASM abilities.

    Thank a lot! That really helps!

    Also im just curious do you have a list of offsets that are affected by this patch? Because I really want to add this to my ROM but I don't want to restart my ROM. Do you think it's possible to make a version of the applier that doesn't keep any of the old fire red offsets (like the trainers and such).

    If not, do you think it's possible to add the patch then just move the offsets around? If you do, let me know!

    Don't use Advance Trainer, use Jambo51's Trainer editor. It has a customisable ini.
    To make it work change the settings under BPRE in the ini to this:

    This is what your TrainerEditor config settings under BPRE should look like to make it work:

    MoveNames=0x901800
    NumberOfMoves=511
    ItemData=0x3DB028
    NumberOfItems=375
    PokemonNames=0x245EE0
    NumberOfPokemon=411
    TrainerTable=0x23EAF0
    NumberOfTrainers=0x2E6
    ClassNamesLocation=0x23E558
    NumberOfClassNames=0x6B
    TrainerImageTable=0x23957C
    NumberOfTrainerImages=147
    TrainerPaletteTable=0x239A1C
    ClassMoneyLocation=0x24F220

    Is there a way to make it so Advanced Trainer recognizes the new attacks with your patch?
