I don't think so.
If you try to import a sprite bigger than 64x64, it'll come out real ugly.
Of course, everything is possible, but it's very, very, very, very, very difficult. And no-one has figured it out yet.
It may require very advanced ASM.

What I must do to hide a sprite before a script that show him start ? (like Prof. Oak in Pallet Town)

Put his Person ID to "002C". Then in the script use the "showsprite" command.

Thank you Necromorph. It helps me a lot.

i dont mean to offend with this
but how come alot of Spanish hacks are on ruby? i dont see anything wrong with i was just wondering why ruby

Click to expand...

Well, a lot of people like Ruby. It was MY first Pokemon Game EVER (inorite) but I was never fond of it and liked Sapphire better. I'm not sure... well, have you ever seen Mexicans wearing blue? They like red and yellow.

I also have some questions.

1. When I am talking with Professor Oak (Bob in my game), after I choose the name for my hero, the screen goes black. The music keeps playing...

2. The stairs in my room are bugged! I when I try to go down the stairs by moving left, it doesn't work. Then when I walk to the right I walk up invisible stairs and then appear at the bottom floor. Help...

3. In unLZ-GBA, I accidentally pressed "Run Deep Scan..." and all of the sprites became a mixture of black and dark blue dots... Help!

How do I manually repoint data in a Hex Editor? I"m having a hard time finding solid info on this. Most repointing is done with tools people have made.

The GBA is not capable of displaying sprites larger than 64x64 pixels. However, you could place two sprites next to each other to form a larger, combined sprite.

You first need to find any instances of the pointer which points to the data that you want to repoint. Then just change the value at that address(es) to the new address. Assuming that you are changing a pointer which points to data in the ROM, the pointer will be in the format "XX XX XX 08", where each 'XX' represents a byte.

In XSE, is there a command, like showpokepic, to show a trainer sprite?

Ok, that makes perfect sense. But, how do I find the instances of the pointer? I mean, I know how to do a search to find instances, but what would the value that I will be searching for be? Say I'm trying to repoint data that was originally at 0x80012345 and repoint it to 0x80800000. Would the instances of the pointer that I search for and replace be "54 32 10 08"? And then I would replace those numbers with "00 00 08 08"?

I might have worded that weirdly.. thanks, though!

How do I add those breaks (kind of like commas i guess) in the text when someone is talking to you? When I put in a script with line breaks, the text just whizzes by when I talk to someone, not letting me read it and then press "A" to go on.

What you have to do is put these is the text.

\n = Next line
\p = New Box

So set it up like this
Hey there\nI hope this helps you.\pThese are used to\nmake the text stay apart.

Did you double check that you put the same Map Bank and Map Number in the warp settings as the map you wanna warp to? Sometimes its easy to overlook that.

yea i did check and double check and if you click...'go to' then it goes to the correct map
