Just look for the string of text you want to change in a hex editor (after applying a table file) and change it to whatever you want it to say in Italian. The English games have support for the characters you may use, so everything should be ok. As for a whole read-out of the game, I'm sure if you use google you can find one, but it won't let you insert the changes into the game.

simply, that's the problem, it's terrible have to find each string (i dunno them, i'v to look 4 them in the game, then find the offset [then a-text it's enough]). it's stg like the emerald.ini that's in progress 4 a-text. i'm wondering if someone has a workin INI with a lot of found stuffs (at least the main story dialogues) already registered for a-text/poketext, smbd that has done a mayor hack of pokemon ruby should have it! or someway to quick find all the textes in a hex editor...

dunno what a read-out is, nor where i can find it ^^ can u explain pliz? ^^''

seen u've skipped my question, i'll redo it in some next reply so it wont get forgotten ^^

Sorry, I don't know anyone who has actually gone very far using only Advance-Text as their primary source of Text editing. If there is someone who has please correct me, but sooner or later your more than likely going to find things that A-text does not have yet. Also, what I meant by read-out was a game script. Pretty early on people will extract the entire script from a game, but you cannot edit it and re-insert it. Also, I skipped your other questions because sadly I did not know the answers to them. Do not dispare though, there are many people I know of that rom hack into other languages (mostly Spanish). It's not impossible, just hard.

Yea I'm really new to all of this stuff, is there a place I can discuss this and get help with? I'm hoping I can make a real good hack and of course I'll credit anyone who helps

I'm not sure that there is an exact place. My suggestion to you is read a lot of tutorials, try and make what you want by yourself; and then, when you get stuck, post here. That's how I learned!

I cannot find a way to add an item in EliteMap, all i want to do is add a pokeball with some masterballs, but i dont know how to add one. I know how to edit existing items to make it a masterball, but i want to know how you can add and item in EliteMap. Thanks a lot!!!

BlackDragonite July 11th, 2007 10:13 PM

Seems like Hiidoran has his helping day^^
So I have a question too (I´m not mad if someone else answers^^):
I´ve downloaded FreeSpaceFinder, I have unlZgba, and I have my Fakemon, but I don´t know;
1.) What to search (the bytes)
2.) what to do with the found number (where to put it in)

If someone knows, please tell me (but not 2 sentences please^^)

and that's how you do it :)

Then what's PokeScript for?

compiling all the "message" "setflag" "checkgender" "applymovement" in proper hexadecimal so it can be written back in the rom ;)

u can write "message" while scripting and not "dunno-what-kind-of-code" cos in the pokescript's database the "dunno-what-kind-of-code" is recorded to be read while compiling as "message" ^^ that's the reason for the pokescript and scripted language being a little different. they've differents database. u could also do your own language and call it ShortRangeScript, but fortunately, scripted and pokescript are enough for all your needs ^^

I didn't get a word you said but I think that means that I won't actually be using PokeScript for Scripting.

Well its obvious that you have written over some vital code. What exactly were you doing?

Prof.Redwood July 12th, 2007 4:38 AM

Quick question, does anyone know how to change a Pokemon's number in the dex to rearrange the order?? Im hacking FR.

UnitRico July 12th, 2007 5:30 AM

Ehrm...I got 2 questions...
1-I'm hacking LeafGreen (see sig :P) and I want to edit the wild Pokémon. But when I load the ROM into bewildered, it gives an error and shuts the program. So does anybody know OR how to fix this OR another program to edit the wild Pokémon in LG?

2-I also need a program that edits trainers for LG. PET doesn't work with me. It just gives the R/S/E trainers. So please, can somebody help me?

Sorry for long post, btw

Try setting your VBA emulator: Options > Emulator > Save Type > Flash 128K

Possibly with hex...but you could overwrite sprites and make a certain number.

1. Try using AdvanceMap it has a wild Pokemon editting feature under each map, Bewildered I think only works with R/S.

2. Try using hex or you could dump the FR/LG trainers using RS Ball, just click Dump GFX Bank after opening the rom...PET can be glitchy at times though.

UnitRico July 12th, 2007 6:33 AM

Ok, thanks Blazichu, but I don't get answer number 2, though.
It's not your fault, it's just me :P I'll ask if someone else could do it.

~Cya, UnitRico

EDIT: Umm...isn't AdvanceMap only for R/S/E? I only see the Hoenn cities there.

exedissolve July 12th, 2007 6:35 AM

this question probably been answered but i dont have the time or the patience to look for it, but can anyone tell me where to find professor oak's sprite in unlz-gba, the one at the begining, and also professor birches one in emerald....

BTW, thanx blazichu

Advance Text Help (Is this the right subforum?
 
Hello. I'm new here and I don't know where to post my question...
So if I have posted into the wrong, please move it! ;)

When I have opened my hacked rom in Advance-Text first time I recived a message that I should create a new ini file. I chose "OK" and went to search, but I can't see which sprite is saying the message! I just can type a word and get one message containing this word! Anyone knows?

Veng3anc3 July 12th, 2007 10:51 AM

ok here easyest question ever!
How do i post a thread -_-'

Corona July 12th, 2007 11:06 AM

Hmm...If I were you I wouldn't use Elitemap to edit maps, Advance Map is much better. If I were you I would open up the script in a notepad change the item to masterball, and change the offsets. Basically copy a script, change it, and re-insert it in a new location. Then just use the Pokeball sprite.

Well, I suppose I have my momments XD. Also, I have a question for you, why use FreeSpaceFinder? Why not just open a hex editor and look for a bunch of "FF". That's free space. But hey, you do things the way you want to. So as to your question I don't really know because I've never used it. Though it seems from a first glance that when you search, it gives you the first offset that contains free space. Just make a script starting with the offsets it gives you. Though I could be wrong...

Ah, this one I know personally! First switch to 256 color mode in unlz-gba, then go to around 343, that's where mine is. Yours could be different however, but it should be like 1-3 images earlier or later though. As for Birch in Emerald, I have no idea; sorry.

First, this is not where you post this. This is the rom hacking help questions. Second, If you want to post a thread, just click in the correct forum, and in the bottom left-hand corner is a button that says "new Thread" go there. But please, read the rules before doing anything, Thanks and Good luck.

1. Urgh! I hate it when there are questions I know there is a solution to, but I simply don't know the answers. The only person that has successfully done this, that I have seen, is Zel. Maybe he can help you if he's not too busy with Shiny Gold.

2. Sadly, no it is not possible to change what people say using Advanced Map. The only thing you can do script wise, is view the sprites text offset.

lol. uhm a short way to say it? see when u right click your .rbc file and click "compile"? that's what pokescript/scripted is for. ^^ the thing between the notepad and the bufrites lol

for the guy with the emerald test going always white, i think u haven't switched the save type in the emulator options to "128k". do it, it should be that and not your hack ^^

*still waiting for smbd that tells me if and how i can add pokemons without erasing old ones (there are 15-30 slots available between celebi and treecko)*
