1) No one seemed to answer my question so I'll ask again, does anyone know how to edit the background behind the prof and player during the intro on poke emerald. If its in Unzl then could you tell me the number/offset? Thanks a lot! I know how to edit the pics and everything, I just need the offset.
2) If I were to make a hack without gym leaders, then how would I enable you to do surf etc. at certain points in the game? Would I have to run the gym leader script without the battle or something. Sorry if this has been answered before, I did search

Thanks in advance

1.|Hex Editor, Don't be lazy everyone should know how to do this, if you don't then go to "zel's Homemade Tutorials" in the documents/tutorials section.

2.|Just make New people, with scripts that either Activate Gym Badges, or Give HM's and Activates' badges. Simple.

Can someone tell me a list of Script commands for Gold using Irish Witch's Gold/Silver script Editor.

The hex thing doesn't actually help me, thats for the big sprites during the opening sequence themselves, I mean the BACKGROUND behind the big sprites.
I wasn't very clear with Q2, what I meant was, how do you enable surf without giving you the badge.
Thanks anyway

1.|Hex Editor. Open VBA, play till the beginning(Oak Talk) Then go to tools > map Viewer, Press Bg 1, click on the color you want to change[Write The R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) Values Down], then go to Palette viewer. After that find the color you want to change in the first Row, Since I'm Nice I'll Write Down what to Search For)(and remember you have to switch it up: 7545 - 75 45 - 45 75 - 4575) it should be:
0000 2824 4A46 8D4E D056 135F 5667 996F DC77 → That is All the background colors
0000 2824 4A46 8D4E D056 135F 5667 996F DC77 1F7C 1F7C 6009 1F00 4665 FF7F 8410 → That is the whole row.
Now Search in hex editor and once you find it, You can Replace with other colors(NOTE 1) after that you hit save and you're finished.

NOTE 1 =: You can get different colors using A-Color(in the "Advanced Palette Editing" located within the documents and Tutorials section by: Semele)First open Paint, then Click a color then go to Colors → edit colors → Deine custom colors and click a color and at the bottom left corner they give you "R G B" Values. Put those values in A-color and it will give you a color and the "4-digit" hex value for it.
HAPPY NOW!!.

If by the Hoehn map you mean altering it so that you can fly to new location which you've created on a custom map I believe that there is a thread in Rom Hacking with info on this.

For the next two question have a look in Script Tutorials where you'll be able to find info on both Trainers and items. Might I recommend Foullump, zel or IrishWitch's tutorials.

Alright. I'm having a little trouble with pointer hacking in Pokemon Gold.

I find the text I want to change, doesn't really matter.

Question 1: Do I calculate the pointer on the first byte of the text, or the 00 before it?

Okay, I've tried both. I got the pointer for 181B8F(just an example, don't search for it)which is 5B 8F, right? Flip the bytes, 8F 5B, and I search 4C 8F 5B, 4C being the display text: 2 byte pointer code. Nothing. What am I doing wrong?

I think you'll have to ask Blazichu. There is a pointer calculator that comes with a program....I'm trying to remember....I think it's Hack-O-Matic for Gold version(a mapping program).
Can I help with your Gold hack, I can't Script, but I can map, text, palette hack, Title screen(Colors, not the Ho-Oh)Insert Graphics, and I can tell you to how to repoint map connections if you didn't already know.

My Question: If Scripting in Gold starts off with "4C" Then What About commands, how do you write them with Hex.
Thanks.

Umm, that IS the pointer calculator I used...

Well I'm not an experienced scripter, because I can't find the text pointers, which is where the rest of the script should be, but I'm using a document that someone, I can't remember who, posted awhile back in simple questions. I'll post it again for convenience.
