1. You can do it manually, by searching for the map data then finding the sprite number or the beginning of a script. The easier option would be to use MegaMap as it displays the pointers (last 2-bytes) under "Script-Pointers:".

2. Attached is a pointer calculator I found on a site ages ago.

Thanks for the calculator. MegaMap seems like it would definitely make it easier, I'm just trying to find a place to download it.

I found MegaMap and I'm still having troubles finding people. I see the "Script-Pointer" in MegaMap. I searched this hex value in Translhextion, which is the only way I can think of to find this person. However, using the original Gold Version, when I search 9E40 (pointer for my rival according to MegaMap), I can find 9E40 4 times. How do I know which is the one I'm looking for?

Well it depends if they are in the same bank or not.

In Megamap, there are 2 numbers before the pointer, that is the bank.
To get the offset use Scizz's tool, A-point(pointer calulator), to get the offset from the pointer. It's very simple actually.

Sorry if this sounds like a really Noobish Question, but the Palettes are All Skrewed up. The only colours are green blue and white and it's very hard to see what colours im editing and such. is there a way i can see their normal colours?

Also, My Noobish question Number 2 is "How can i load my Already made, Custom Tiles into the game"

Sorry if my noobishness is unbearable

Hmm...I'm wondering something. Exactly HOW can I edit tilesets 2,3,4,5,.... and so on? I've never found out how to do it. I've looked through almost all of TLP, but I couldn't find ANYTHING! Thanks!

Umm...the bytes before the pointer are shown in MegaMap also, so you can just check with those, or you can change the byte of one and see if that will change the script, then change it back if it doesn't.

1. Is this in-game or in a tile editor?

2. You can use a tile editor's import option.

You would need to find the pointers of the tileset first. Then you add a new slightly compressed tileset (like Tileset 1, also use + and - to compress and decompress) into blank space. Then you replace the old pointers with the new pointers. After that start editing.

Also I have attached a slight expansion on the GoldSilverBanks.ini for Poketext (Just replace the old one), I did this awhile back...could have been early last year. Hopefully it should help those who are struggling with editing text.

Well...how do I find the pointers to the tilesets? I know how to find text pointers, but what about tilesets...?

That worked great. I found the correct pointer. Thanks.
cooley, I did try to figure out your method when you first posted it, but my mind got lost in other activities before I could finish figuring it out (I almost had it).

Pointers of tilesets can be a bit more difficult. The tileset headers are located at 0x156D3 and they go [Tile 3-byte Pointer][Block data 3-byte Pointer][Collision data 3-byte Pointer].

Basic trial and error, sometimes easy, sometimes hard. Depends on how many bytes arise that are the same. :P

How size I use on Corsola? I already tried in size 40x40, 56x56 and 48x48 and every mistake I made was trying to replace the Happiny
PS: You can create a tutorial of how to change the pallet of hero?​

Umm..no need to revive month old threads, but seeing as it is mine I might as well answer.

Corsola is 48 x 48 in size, so that is the height and width you would have to use.

There are plenty of tutorials explaining how to change palettes of anything in this forum.
