    I will try to let you hear the music and see which one you want!
    I've been busy for a while but hopefully I'll be on more!

    Yeah, it would totally look awesome in our hacks (especially yours, with the awesome tiles) :)

    Thanks, that would be great help in the future when I want to input seasons! :)

    That's actually relatively simple. The best thing is that I already have a piece of code which kinda does that, so it won't even take me long.

    I did the OW change using one of the features in JPAN's FireRed Hacked Engine.

    Well, creating an entirely-new OW-changing system and tying it into the player's party without using scripts in Ruby, a game whose RAM I'm not familiar with... That's very far beyond my abilities, sorry. :\

    By goly, you're right. I couldn't find anything either. I'll let you know if I find anything. :)

    IIRC someone's working on a way to edit evolutions to enable D/P-style evos (level up at a location = evolve), so you could just use that (when it's released) along with JPAN's hacked engine to change the OW.

    Whether I can help you depends on how complex a task you need me to perform. What do you need the routine for?

    Depends what and how much work it'll take.
    I don't have a huge amount of spare time, so if it needs research, it might take me a while.
    On the other hand, if I already know where and how to insert something, it won't take me long to create an asm hack.

    Point is, ask, and if it's feasible, you shall recieve.

    Hmm, maybe ask primedialga on how it works?
    Is there a tut about how to do it?

    You can search for ASCII text or for hex bytes, but you can't search for Pokemon-formatted text. There's a workaround, though.

    Historians were once able to decipher the Egyptian language because they had a tablet showing a text in both Egyptian and Greek -- the Rosetta Stone. They could figure out what an Egyptian symbol meant by looking at the corresponding Greek symbol.

    You have the same thing with HxD and XSE. Think of hex as Egyptian and Poke-formatted text as Greek; XSE's hex viewer can't edit, but it can show things in both hex and Poke. You can use it to translate the string you wish to search for into hex bytes, and then search for those bytes in HxD.

    Clueless in hex? Don't worry -- a hex editor isn't too hard to use if you know what it is you're editing.

    Most hex editors consist of two panels: one which shows the hex bytes of a file, and another on the side that shows the same data as ASCII (text). Most of the time, you'll be working with bytes; ROMs don't often use ASCII to encode its text, so the ASCII view will be mostly gibberish.

    To change the hex, you just click inside the data pane and start typing. You have to be a bit more careful with pasting: a "paste insert" will shift the data after your cursor (bad!), while a "paste write" will overwrite data starting at your cursor (which is usually what you want when working with ROMs).

    Hex itself is just another way of representing data; it's base-16, while binary is base-2 and decimal is base-10. So the trick isn't using the editor so much as it is knowing what it is you're editing -- knowing what data a particular chunk of hex represents. Hex could be an ASM routine, a script, a table of pointers or other data, a set of strings, what have you. You usually have to know in advance what you're looking at, so that you know how to edit it.

    Anyway, if I had to recommend a specific hex editor, I'd go with HxD. Free and fairly useful.

    Hmmm, I've always wanted to filddle around with it, but as of right now, no. It seems pretty straight forward though.
