Hi folks, quick question…
In Spiky's DS Map Editor, is it possible to increase the number of different wild pokemon available in an area?
For example, let's say Route 29. I understand that I could REPLACE Pidgey with whatever Pokemon I want. But can I ADD a new option to that route (instead of replacing)?
Thanks!

Hello~
I'm having a problem with Overworld Editor (Rebirth). I erased frame 0 of the player's sprite and drew this one in place of it (Snivy):
After checking what it looks like in-game, this showed up:
Columns of the sprite are invisible. Does anyone know what the problem is?
I have had this issue before, and it is one of the reasons I don't use OWERE. Use NSE Classic. It has the same base interface but with more features, fewer bugs, and much easier to use. Basically an updated version. And, best of all, the creator is still currently semi-active (but lost the source:( ).
After you read The Concept of ASM, go and read HackMew's tutorial. It explains how to work with breakpoints.
I can tell you the offset you need to overwrite to get rid of it.:P Umm, I found them in Un-Lz at one point. I think they are listed on one of the many tutorials for titlescreens around here.
Image editing. Find them in Un-Lz and edit them.

Hello everyone ,so I downloaded an IPS patch for a hack I wanted to play an I did the usual "put the files in the same folder rename the file" trick but when I put the rom I VBA I get a white screen. I have my save type as 128K already so I don't think I need to change that. Is it a corrupted rom file? I downloaded it recently but I'm not sure.

Did you actually apply the patch? or are you relying on VBA's auto-patch method? Auto-patching is a terrible idea, IMO. Actually patch the rom and give it a try. Also, make sure you have the correct rom type (E, J, S, etc).

Do you think there is a way to make it seetrough? Like i want the color red but i want it to make so that i can see the red but also can see what is behind it?
Ive read your tutorial and hackmews. So now I know when you set a breakpoint on a routine and you activate the routine (offset) the game opens the debugger where you can put commands in it, so the part in bold on the quote I understand but what is a LR and what is a CMP and a bl could you link me another tutorial?
I really appreciate the help and what youve done for me until now

Sorry, one thing to add… I don't need to learn HOW to do it… just whether or not it's possible. (I don't have the software yet)
Thanks again.

I think the best way to find out is download the software and try it, ;)

I downloaded NSE Classic (instead of OWERE) and loaded up the frame and redrew it. After that, I checked it in-game and the same result showed up. Do you know if there is any way to fix this problem? I really need to figure this out...

I think the corruption might be stuck in there. Try repointing the image data (don't copy frames) and then try again. You can do that all in NSE.

Argh, it didn't get rid of the corruption... I do have many backups, but the one before OW editing was quite a while ago. Guess I'll have to restore from backup. Thanks for the info, anyways. At least I learned something from this -_-

See through is tough and will require ASM. Let's work on one tough thing at a time.:P
This will help you greatly: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5pq34x0jrni4uqt/THUMB Reference.pdf
"bl" and "cmp" are commands in ASM, like "goto" and "if" are in C.
Dude? Did you even read the second half of my response?? Just repoint the frames... The corruption is most likely in the image itself... So repoint to some free space, get a clean slate, and then draw/import the images again.

I'm afraid there are complicating factors. If it was that straight-forward for me I'd have done it.
Would you mind just answering it if it's an easy question?
To repeat, in Spiky's DS Map Editor (that's what you guys are referring to as SDME, right?), can you add more different wild pokemon to a route, rather than just replacing them? Like, could I make it so there are 15 different wild pokemon on route 29, instead of just the 4.

No that won't work. I meant actually with someone online who's not in the room with me.

I have a question that has to do with palettes for overworld sprites:
I added overworlds of the Kanto starters to FireRed (bitmaps taken from the HGSS OWs), inserted their own palettes, pointed them, etc. The OWs look fine in Overworld Editor RE, but they don't work in-game.
Relevant screenshot:
So here's the deal. In this little event, Bulbasaur appears first, then Charmander, then Squirtle (you can hardly tell because the colors are so messed up, but it's Squirtle). Bulbasaur's palette is fine to begin with. Then when Charmander appears, I suppose it changes Bulbasaur's palette to Charmander's. Squirtle's palette is just... yeah.
In Overworld Editor RE, I sort of figured out that the problem has to do with the "Unknown Data 2" field. Both the Bulbasaur and Charmander OWs have 1A 01 00 00 in that field whereas the Squirtle OW uses 19 01 00 00. If I change the first byte to 10, it screws up the player OW's palette. If I change it to anything other than 1A, the OW screws up like Squirtle up there.
Without going deeper into the details, does anyone know why this happens and how I can prevent it from happening? As an aside, I'm not using JPAN's Hacked Engine (which gave me huge headaches when trying to figure out how to insert new OWs because most of the guides require it).

My guide doesn't require JPAN's engine. Look for: "Advance Overworld Sprite Editing: Part 2".
The reason the palettes collide is because in that series of bytes, it is is 1X010000. Only the X matters. If you go into VBA->Tools->Palette Viewer, you will see 16 palettes for OBJ. That X determines which palette slot is used for the OW. Only 0-A are availible. 0 is always the player.
There is a tutorial around here somewhere.... Look for it.
