would be seen that the correct ldrh move 2 bytes but is not
to me, however, would move more than 2 bytes, it should move 8. There is not one specific swi that invert the values in two registers?

Well if it's 8 bytes, you just simply cannot. The most a register can hold is a dword, which is 4 bytes. Like a pointer, that's a dword. 8 bytes would mean doing the operation twice.

For this I would need to know if there is a swi which allows the drive: \

Sorry, I don't think there is. Try gbatemp. they might have one.

Thanks.
On gba tek I found this but I do not understand how it works.

gogojjtech oh right so sry for using the wrong thread... and thanks so much forgot abt the hex thing, i keep getting stuck in my hack with minor things and im too stubborn to move on before figuring it out lol ... oh and i was using PKSV

Spoiler:

SWI 0Fh (GBA) - ObjAffineSet
Calculates and sets the OBJ's affine parameters from the scaling ratio and angle of rotation.
The affine parameters are calculated from the parameters set in Srcp.
The four affine parameters are set every Offset bytes, starting from the Destp address.
If the Offset value is 2, the parameters are stored contiguously. If the value is 8, they match the structure of OAM.
When Srcp is arrayed, the calculation can be performed continuously by specifying Num.
r0 Source Address, pointing to data structure as such: s16 Scaling ratio in X direction (8bit fractional portion) s16 Scaling ratio in Y direction (8bit fractional portion) u16 Angle of rotation (8bit fractional portion) Effective Range 0-FFFF r1 Destination Address, pointing to data structure as such: s16 Difference in X coordinate along same line s16 Difference in X coordinate along next line s16 Difference in Y coordinate along same line s16 Difference in Y coordinate along next line r2 Number of calculations r3 Offset in bytes for parameter addresses (2=continuous, 8=OAM) Return: No return value, Data written to destination address.

For both Bg- and ObjAffineSet, Rotation angles are specified as 0-FFFFh (covering a range of 360 degrees), however, the GBA BIOS recurses only the upper 8bit; the lower 8bit may contain a fractional portion, but it is ignored by the BIOS.

It's still saying the max is 4 bytes long, so it won't work.

You SHOULD be using the XSE from gamer2020's toolbox, but PKSV is new-ish.

I'm trying to change the grass animation via NSE 2.1 on a Pokemon Ruby rom. I load my rom then go to Navigate > POKEMON > BPRE > Sprites > Landscape > Grass

however when I get there, all I see is a bunch of dots going down vertically where the image should be. I'm not exactly sure if this is the right way to change it? I'm only trying to change the palette of the picture so I was wanting to insert a recolored animation image.

On a RUBY ROM, doing BPRE. Ruby's code is AXVE, not BPRE.
AXVE: Ruby
AXPE: Sapphire
BPRE: FireRed
BPGE?: Leaf Green (I think it's BPGE)
BPEE: Emerald

So you load with the correct game Code. That goes for all tools. If you want to find it, (and if it's not in NSE), look in VBA for the tiles, copy the offset, then go to the memory viewer, and search for the bytes at that offset in your ROM.

On AdvanceMap 1.95 I have two maps perfectly connected and the movements are assigned correctly yet in game, I can't cross into the map over. When I try to change the name of the second (newest) map, I get the error "ERROR: (ENotAPointer) AdvanceMapError(5): The value #3E73C0 is not a pointer! Please contakt [email protected]"

Any way how to fix this?

No, look. There is a label at the bottom that says @walk. This is not XSE...

Those are macros I mentioned. They are just not capsed...
For example end = #raw 0xFE

Gogojjtech: I think he is mixing PKSV (which includes these automatically) with XSE. I don't know if you have ever looked into the header files, but you can VERY easily add new commands and such with just a simple:

#define walk_fast 0xDD

Then you can use walk_fast instead of 0xDD. I'm not sure if they already exist or if you have to create them.

In 1.92, yes it will change the name.. for instance, I changed Route 102 to Path 1. However, it is ALSO changing the names of 25.24-25.39 and 25.41-25.43 which are non-named by default, however I used most of them for my own and renamed them. Now that I renamed Route 102 to Path 1, it's renaming the others also.

so my scripts works fine and stuff... bt i didnt know what var number to use?
i just used 4000 as a draft to test it and make sure it works, bt for the real thing what is var number is recommended? lots of places seem to say 4050?? O.o

To know which Var numbers to use, I recommened using this link.

What I do is I keep track of every flag and variable I use, so I never reuse the same ones.

What is probably happening is the names consist of the same pointer to the name. So if you don't understand:
Route 101 -> 0x64A524
Route 102 -> 0x64A524

These are examples. They point to the same location, so if you change one, you change the other. You could change a pointer so that way you have two separate names, and one changes at a time. Makes sense?

Makes sense. Do you know how I can change the pointers?

Search in your ROM for them. If you don't have a hex editor, then here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/o5ypef31rbg922n/HxD Hex Editor Portable.rar

Hey, I have a question. I am working on my first Rom, and I FINALLY discovered how to make pokeballs give pokemans. Now...

How do I make it so I don't have to run Oak's Parcel in this one???

(Fire red)

...Oak doesn't exist in this hack....

Advise??

Just make a new script. Make sure you're using XSE from gamer2020's toolbox, and advance map 1.92. Then follow diegoisawesome's XSE tutorial: https://www.dropbox.com/s/cceae20848ci6lq/diegoisawesome's xse tutorial.pdf
