    • What do you mean by the transparent colour, how do I put it all green. because I tried in paint and it only did parts of it :s

    Edit: It keeps saying my image is too big, when it is 64x64. Even when i try and insert the original copy !

    is it saved in PNG?
    also, is it using only 16 colors?

    • WILL SOMEBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION?!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It's been over 2 months now and nobody answered my question. I think I should give up hacking.

    When I try to insert it into the ROM, it has one of the following problems:

    1. It says "Ptr found at [insert hex number here]. Changed." And when I flip back to the sprite, it is inverted (sorta) with a pitch-black background!
    2. The sides are cut off.
    3. There is a sharing violence.
    4. The sprite messes up and there is a background around it when I play the ROM.

    If this question is not answered by the next time I get here, I'm cancelling Dark Red and all of my other projects.

    I really would care less about you cancelling your hack.

    However, have you chacked if it's in 64x64 in size?
    also, it is supposed to look like the old sprite with an inverted pallete if you insert a new sprite.

    check the other pages and i have demonstarted how it looks in game around here in this thread.

    okay... they work pretty fine and perfect in my case. :\
    Spoiler:


    I really do not know why it doesn't work in your case. however, I am also sure this works in FireRed as well.
    I got no time though, busy in real life. :\
    but if you wish, I can post some proof that this method does work in FireRed as well. But maybe later. :\

    Maybe you have overwritten an offset which was already have been used. :\

    EDIT

    here's proof that it also works with FireRed. :\

    I already explained it like just a few post above yours.
    They are suppose to happen.

    but I don't know why the backsprites are the only ones which shows up.

    when u had unlz open u also had a hexeditor it says sharing violation so just to avoid that copy the free spce or whatever onto notpad if u cant remeber it then close the hexeditor then use it the hex numbers or whatever XD
