So I'm starting an Emerald Hack, and I was wondering, is there anyway to eliminate the truck/ moving in scene, and simply have the player start the game in his/her room?

But what are Indexed Sprites? And how do someone index them??? Aren't them pictures like wallpapers and those things?
Indexed sprites are sprites with a set, 16-color palette. You can index sprites with any advanced image editing program such as Photoshop or Paintshop Pro or you can use Irfanview, which is free to download.
Regarding scripting.

When I write the offset, is there a specific rule for choosing it or do I just make one up?

How do I create a new map?

thx in advance.
You have to use an empty offset or else it will mess up the original coding in the game, which might lead to some very unpleasant bugs.
How do I script warps? Like when you just walk from map to map it's using scripts I need that else I can't have PROF BIRCH on my custom maps since using warps to the bag/running prof birch causes image-rom crash
Warps can be created using Advancemap. You just have to select the map bank and which warp number you want the warp to lead to.

There's a tool for that. Look in the Toolbox forum.

It'd be easier to edit the exported image's palette to match Darkrai's.

For your first question, use Advance Map. And for the other question, yes. You're gonna need to remake the maps, script everything, and do everything else that's in Jhoto. To make maps, open Advance Map and start inserting new maps into folders, and when you need to, make more folders (These are for Jhoto) :S

Open Advance Map, then open your ROM. Next find your map in the Map File, first folder, then map. I recommend organizing the maps by name to they're easier to find.

I know how to do this, using script everyone else has made me, but what do I need to change in the script to get different pokemon? I know that each pokemon has its own numbers, but how do I find out what these numbers are? Thanks!

The command to give a Pokémon is givepokemon. The syntax is the following:

Code:
givepokemon <pkmn> <level> <item>

<pkmn> must be replaced by the Pokémon number, the <level> by the Pokémon level (obviously) and the item by the item number which could change if you are hacking different games.

Below you can find, spoilered, a complete Pokémon number list.

Spoiler:


To get a level 10 Bulbasaur which doesn't hold any items:
givepokemon 1 10 0

I don't know if this would change things, but I am using a Sapphire ROM. I was using FireRed, but it got messed up, even though I had not changed anything.

Well, as I told you before, the only thing that change is the item number from a games to another. Nothing else.

I have already compiled my script( with PokeScript), and I made a mistake with some of the text. The script works, I just wrote the wrong name down. Is there a way to edit this without re-compiling the script, or can I delete the script at the old offset, and then write the fixed script to the offset? Thanks!
