psssst...
may I ask if you received my PM... thanks

As in, if you don't mind me asking?

Oh you answered didn't see. Let me think of it a bit

Welp I know it refers to assembly scripts, but I didn't need to look them up. I could do everything via simple scripts until now :D. Hit me with your answer and I will figure it out.

So, I guess you're already working on this?

I was wondering whether it would be possible to incorporate this script into an item, as an in-battle item so that it can be used for a mega evolution.

Yo! Why is the IRC is not working?? I can't access it.. XD

Yo

It looks good, dude! Well, how can i port it?? You know, i'm just a beginning hacker :D

Yo! Can you help me with this. I just want a little twist when you try to walk on the stairs, the the view moves also, just like in platinum.. Is it available in EM?? Thanks

Yo daniilS! It's me, ExdeAth_20.. I'm doing asm stuff.. Can you help me dude?? Just leave me a reply in either IRC or vm me.. Thanks :D

I was just wondering how could I do Rotom's transformations or Arceus' ability, so I thought this routine was a change sprite only one xD

I was very tired when I looked at it, so I get confused and hurted myself xD

If it's not a problem, could you please explain me how your change sprite routine work? I refer to ther one here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=8513264&postcount=34

I want to understand how to use it.

I guess the special 0x9F stores the party slot of the chosen Pokemon in a variable (don't know which) Is it possible to skip this part and use setvar0x8004 (or the real variable) to make a preset slot for this?

Also, it's suposed that this routine only changes the sprite of the desired party Pokemon without modifying it's index, isn't it?

I'm not good on ASM yet, but would it be possible to make it change the Stats of the Pokemon too?? FBI does it on his Silent Evolution Routine, but it takes place during the evolution code:

So I can confirm that "ptr = 0x084A329C" is wrong.

The "MusicPlayerArea *" is actually located at the offset above. So "0x084A329C" is the pointer to the "MusicPlayerArea" pointer.
So just load the value from that offset (and not the offset itself) and pass it over to the sound functions.

It is all good thankyou I got them working :) ! Enjoy your break

Wait, I'm confused. I don't see any changes.

For real? No way! I haven't been on in a bit. I'mma check it out now!

Well, I don't really think that there is a real way around saving that many bytes.

PS: I will need to double check the "ptr = 0x084A329C" again. I might have got something wrong there.

No need for apologies! Thanks man :)

So here's the data you need to backup (BPRE only, possibly other languages too):
Song Variables: 0x40 bytes at 0x03007300
Track Variables: 0x50 * TRACK_AMOUNT bytes at 0x030020C8

You could also read those pointers dynamically from the ROM (nicer solution) from the "MusicPlayerArea". It comes in that format:
----
4 bytes: song variables pointer
4 bytes: pointer to track variables array
1 byte: maximum tracks amount
3 bytes: 0x?? (usually 0x0 though)
----
In BPRE it's placed at 0x084A329C.

For TRACK_AMOUNT you can either say just to use the max tracks possible (10 by default) or you could read out amount of tracks used by the current song and only backup the required bytes. But since the game will need to handle backuping 10 tracks there is no need to reduce the dynamic memory usage since it's non deterministic (well, if you know which song is gonna be played you do so) and there is no profit by doing so (except it might be a "nicer" solution).

Before backuping make sure to stop the playback with "m4aMPlayStop(MusicPlayerArea *ptr)". This will pause the song and you probably are safe to backup the data. Simply go through the battle and once you come out you will need to remove the call from the game engine which starts the playback from the map music.
Replace it with "m4aMPlayContinue(MusicPlayerArea *ptr) to resume the playback of the map music but make sure to reload all the values you backuped before calling the Continue function.

As I already said above, in BPRE for regular music ptr = 0x084A329C. The function offsets are the following:
m4aMPlayStop = 0x081DD93C
m4aMPlayContinue = 0x081DCFF8

I haven't tried anything out but the values should be correct. Tell me if I got something wrong.
