Hello, this is my first post here so sorry if it's incorrect and everything.
I'm im the process of learning and creating a rom hack of Fire Red, and want to do a few specific things that I have been researching for about a week.
So first of all, I would like to do a Liquid Crystal-esque title screen where a pokemon is animated. I've read through the post by Darthatron, but would like just a little bit of direction on how to do this. As far as I can tell, it would be easier to create this through a disassembly (im looking through pokefirered)-- but the only problem is that the 'tutorial' is in ASM, and pokefirered is obviously in C. If I were to insert the asm by compiling it like normal routines, where would I insert and hook it into? I have a good idea of where I think it might go from reading the disassembly, but have no idea where I would put it in hex.
Second thing: So far, the only hack that I know to do this is Pokemon Saffron, but I haven't had luck contacting the creator and asking him. Again, I've been looking through the disassembly trying to find some function that I can comment out, or where oak_intro.c is called on for a function, but I can't find anything that does, and I'm just not well versed enough in C (or in pokemon's way of doing things) to tell where it is called. I would think just removing the function itself and running the script from it that places the character in the house would suffice, but again, I am not sure. If anyone could guide me on this I would be very grateful.
If there is a better way to do these things than through a disassembly (not being able to apply the patches I've used after the fact???) then please let me know, I'm eager to learn this!
Thank you!
