Patch: Fixed Font Version of the Black & White HP Bars for Fire Red (Patch or C Injection)

Most of you probably know about the BW HP Bars for Fire Red by PlatinumMaster & EternalCode.

This isn't hard to apply, but unfortunately in the original version, a few letters are "broken" and look off, shown in Primeape and Onix's names below:

Some of the lowercase letters look off such as "m" and "a"

However, after a lot of experimenting with Wingrit and help from Discord, we've finally managed to fix the letters, shown below where our Charizard has been nicknamed "Primeape":

Fixed lowercase font

The download link below contains a patch for those who prefer that method, and the Github repository including the fixed hpbar_gfx_resources.h file and font image.

Patching the ROM will use the following offsets: 0x800000 - 0x802B28, 0xEC0000 - 0xEC028F
Manually inserting the Github repo allows you to place it in any free space you want.

Wow this is so good, thanks. I will try it for my rom.

Is this resource compatible with mega evolutions?

I believe it is! The offsets used are noted in OP incase you need to check compatibility with anything else, but 0x800000 upwards is notoriously free space.

If I also insert the CFRU and the DPE, will the other systems and names continue to work correctly?

Yes

Is it possible to change which offset it goes to? Like for example, I applied the script on Unbound but it won't startup at all. I tried it on Shiny Gold and it worked fine, guessing the offset was free or not used?

I might be wrong altogether, just thinking on how can I apply this to different hacks.

Did you fix the refresh of the number when it goes from 100 hp to 99, without showing the 1 in front?

Yes, theres 2 versions in the download - the IPS patch and then the manual C insertion. By manually inserting it (not too difficult) u can choose which offset u want it to go to

Wasnt aware of that problem so it's probably still in there unfortunately. I might see about fixing it soon

Which line do I need to change for a different offset?

Can't remember as it's been so long, that just comes from the original HP bars here: https://github.com/PlatinumMaster/EternalCode-BWHealthBars-BPRE
