Ok so this is something that I've never had happen before. I added some 32x32 sprites into a rom and they show fine in nse and a-map and then in vba they dont move. they just face down and slide. I've inserted hundreds of sprites and not once had this happen. Anyone know of a fix?

Did you add all the frames necessary for the sprite? Like walking, running animations, etc.?

Yea all the walking, I didnt need running since its just a npc sprite.
Here are the nsl files.

Edit: Also I tried a new sprite index and the same result happened. I also uncheck co;y frames just for the heck of it and still nothin.

Store Pokemon to Pokedex

Okay, so here's another string like the Name Pokemon above. It simply adds a Pokemon to the 'Seen' section of your Pokedex.
This one is fairly easy to do. Here's the script. It'll make it easier for me to explain.
Code:
setvar 0x8004 0x97
special 0x163
See? Nice and short.
Pretty basic too. We put the Pokemon number of the Pokemon we want to set to 'Seen' to 0x8004. In this case, I'm preparing Mew to appear as Seen.
Special 0x163 only finishes the job and actually sets it as Seen in your Pokedex.

so i saw this in another thread and wondered if there was some sort of equivalent for emerald, i assume that it's the special 0x163 that needs to be changed, anyone know what it would be changed to?

Is it possible to let your pokemon evolve even w/o National Dex?
I read all of here but found nothintg

At 0xCE91A change the next 4 bytes to 00 00 14 E0. This makes the previously conditional branch into an unconditional branch, which fixes the evolutions.

Also go to 0x126C4D and change the D9 to an E0 if you want stone evos to work.

found by jambo51 and myself, lazily c/p'd from an old repost from here on another forum

Hi, open your rom in Advance map. On the left hand side there will be two collapsible directories. Double click on the one called "From header", and find the map you want (keep double clicking to expand). Once you've opened the map you want, hit the events tab. You'll see "Number of Person events" on the bottom right hand side. Increment that by one to add an event. That's all.

If you are having troubles doing that I suppose I can use pictures.

There are tutorials for trainer sprite editing. What I told your right now is trainer overworld adding.
They are two different things, search up tutorials for UNLZ on here or on google.

I think I get it. So basically adding trainer overworlds is just adding to advance map so u can use them in any hack?

Is there a way to give the player a female starter? The givepokemon thing in XSE doesn't have anything for gender and I didn't see a tool for it. (Am new to actually coding so if it's a glaringly obvious please don't bite my head of.)

It's actually not easy. Pokemon's gender is dependent on the last byte of it's PID. Specifically, the bits inside that byte is what determines the gender. That being said, you cannot simply just set those bits to female, because this also affects the Pokemon's ability. That's why you see that a Pokemon with no gender or a single possible gender only has 1 possible ability!

In short you would have to keep generating a new Pokemon until you get a female. This would require some ASM :)

So no simple method to give the player a female starter? How hard is ASM to learn and is it worth learning at this point? Anything you think I should look into when it comes to ROM hacking?

At this point, the point where you don't know scripting yet, it's not worth learning (you'll just end up lost!). What you can do is ask in a really cool request thread I know of :P

If you're just starting, I think you should focus on scripting and mapping.
After a mastery of both of those (scripting more so than mapping), give ASM a shot :P

I understand how u can change the trainer sprite like for the male or female, but how do u do it so both female and male in my case for my hack would be Jessie and James?
