Hello everyone.
In order to make you understand. I will describe my question briefly. This is the second thread about this. I want a special text box in the game. Just like the picture I show under.
Can someone help me to do it?

You need ASM for that. Get yourself a copy of Emerald or Fire Red IDB and look into rboxes.

You can't do it with just a hex editor, sorry.

The 'rbox' is a box that displays text which can be updated often. Just like money box that appears on top of the screen while buying items in a pokemart or a simple yes/no box. Creating a box would be quite complicated, because gamefreak didn't bother making a function that allows you to make one, instead the code for it is just copy-pasted(with slight but significant changes) along the game.

If you hack Emerald, I can help you with it. If you hack FR, take a look at showbox and hidebox scirpt commands.

But that's impossible. Showbox command doesn't exist in the Emerald version.

Here is the script I have used in ruby.
---------
#org 0x800000
lockall
showbox 0x0 0x0 0x1D 0x13
releaseall
end
----------
The question is I can't find the place where to put the text.
I created a function that allows you to have boxes appear on screen. I'll upload it in a week maybe, so you either wait or learn how to do it yourself. :D

It is a sad thing that I can't do it on both Emerald and Ruby.But I do want it in my hack.
Could you please tell me how to do it in Emerald now?
I'll post the code for it in the weekend.
