Hello everyone,
Today I am gonna share a method to make the textboxes transparent in Pokemon FIRE RED
and you can activate it any time you want ... ;)
You can even use a complete costum textbox
for intro, menu etc. without messing them up. This tutorial just requires basic knowledge of
scripting and hex-editing: maybe also palette understanding.
Well I am just sharing it here but the original codes for this hack are by Mr. Epic!
!!! We need to compile and insert the three sets of asm codes !!!
1st Routine!!!
Enables transparent Msgbox to make it look transparent (Obviously)
Asm code:
Hex codes:
Where ZZ YY XX is the pointer to the third routine below...
2nd Routine!!!
Disables transparent Msgbox.
If not disabled, when entering a warp the game crashes.
Asm codes:
Hex codes:
3rd Routine!!!
Modify the palette to you see the msgbox or not will look like
Hex codes:
Process to insert the routines
Well these are only my suggestions but you can insert it any way you like... :)
activating the hack with script
This hack of transparent textbox will not be activated itself but we will have to activate it..
for that we will have to add some codes to the script we are making (need to be done with every script you want to be seen in transparent textbox)
all we have to do is
callasm *\Pointer_to_first_first_routine + 1\* enable the transparent textbox for msg written at @something
msgbox @something 0x2
callasm *\pointer_to_second_routine + 1 \* Disable the transparent textbox effect
It works great with Yes-no box and show pokepic as well :)
~ the images are of the owner, I just used them here, but they do work :)
Well that was all of this Tutorial...
Give credits to Epic for these codes as he is the one who did it,
and I was the person to share it with you.
If you have any question regards this,
make replies below... I will try to help you :)

Well these are only my suggestions but you can insert it any way you like... :)
- insert the third routine any note the pointer (for eg:750000)
- insert the first routine just below the third routine and change the xxxxxx to the pointer above (as previous example it will be 20 00 75 )
- insert the second routine below the first routine
- note all the pointers for the routine ***VERY IMPORTANT***
