Hey, I'm having trouble replacing the sprite of the main character (goto 1939) on Pokemon Emerald. I've done a few palette changes, but haven't changed the image altogether, but unLZ.gba won't load it correctly. The first problem is that it always says that the image is too big, so it can't load it. I've tried dropping to 16-bit in IrfanView, but it still said the same thing and if I recall, it made it worse by inserting a 256-bit set of colors with a bunch of random shades of green and purple and black.

But even when I'm able to just insert the palette itself, it still has issues. First off, the green (color of the background) isn't the first color in the palette: black is, which is clearly a problem considering it will take the black away and not the green, right? Nope. It scrambles the order of the colors by making black the background and all the other colors are pointed elsewhere, so you get this weird inverted-looking sprite. I've done the obvious and tried moving around the palettes in IrfanView, but that replaces them instead of just rearranging the order. At least it saves, though, right?

Here's the image I'm trying to put in:


Why isn't this working?
Hi, I recommend you download NSE 2.X then find Tajaro's tut on inserting
Trainer sprites with NSE 2.X. It should work if you done it correctly.

What version of DeSmuME have you downloaded?
Newest DeSmuME works really well.

They are exactly the same as this, but just check his documentation to see if he used any more to control some of his hacks.

is no checklevel -like command? trying to figure out a way that the level of a pokemon is stored or checked and once you use a command like special 0xFE which deletes all pokemon in your party, then the new pokemon you get is of the same level of the pokemon you deleted

Hi Guys,

Another question from me.

So since I've decided to make a hack and came up with a strong storyline (I think). I realised I'm not good enough to make the hack all by myself. So I want to form a small team with skilled members. I know there is the 'Help recruitment thread' but I want to do it another way.

First of: Are there still people interested in making a hack and taking the time to complete it? Or is that amount descending?

Second: I've made a small, well lets call it Alpha, 2 places and 2 routes. All very basic and all unfinished. I've made them in the standard Firered with mostly recycled scripts, tiles, events and stuff. Just so there is a look and feel to it. My idea for this is, people who want to join the team should change something in the Alpha. That way I can see if we think the same and if we could work together. Of course when I will post this in the right category you will receive the main storyline and the idea of the hack on forehand. Is this doable and is this a good idea?

And last but not least:
If you guys think this is a good idea, where should I create the topic?

I know its quite a long story but I hope someone will answer me on this.

Greetings!

I'd say maybe post it in Team Discussions? It sounds like an interesting idea but the way you're describing it, the people playing it would probably be people who want to join your team.

Thanks for the input!

You mean like they already want to join? Well that's why I asked if its still popular. Lets say I want 2 spriters and there are 5 applicants. I think its a nice way to see if we think the same. But if its not that popular anymore and I'm not a big name here who have made already a great hack I'm not sure if there will be any applicants :P

PS I really like your style of Pokemon Cyan!

i will repost my question, maybe sombody now can help me, it's possible to show the nature of a wild pokemon, maybe below the ho bar, how can i do this?
I'm not sure, but all I can say is try something with ASM? I wouldn't expect it to be easy though, and I've got no clue where you'd find anything about the box displaying HP/species/gender in the rom.
I hope this helped some.

Bumping old question.
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpost.php?p=7917116&postcount=27297

I have been playing around with it (again) and no luck in finding anything that will make it do what I want. Starting to suspect it may well be more complex...or I am just missing something obvious.

i know this is bad, but serching through hundreds of posts is tiring...
But I am looking for a snow Tile set for An Emerald Hack. Palettes and tilesets is what confuses me, even with tutorials.....

So basically, does anyone have any tilesets they are willing to let me use that are based from snow and ice and all that jazz?
Also, will It have the palettes changed and everything?

Well if the release is more so you can get help with the game, instead of just people playing it, then Team Discussions would probably be right. The Progressing Hacks forum isn't really for recruiting team members. >_>

Ok thanks for the help! And I will wait some months because of the 3 month rule in Team Discussions.

You'd have to change the start map for the player to wherever you want to start at in one island and then probably rewrite the script for the ferry so it takes you where you want.

Download a Ruby/Emerald/FireRed ROM from Google.
Then download the two basic hacking tools: mapping and scripting.
Then try to mess around with the tools to get the hang of them.

Having a little trouble searching for this but, I can't seem to find a way to change the abilityof pokemon. Could someone point me in the right direction of that even exists?

Edit, the change doesn't seem to affect active party pokemon(or the ones in the computer obviously) and I think that's what I'm looking for at the moment.

So what you did was give a Pokemon a different ability and it doesn't show up when you check the summary?
I had this problem before. I fixed it by going to the PC and picking it up and then dropping it. This appears to reset stats (if you cheated and gave them 999 or something) and heal the Pokemon.

Or maybe the ability you gave it is on the other ability slot and you got a Pokemon with the ability from the opposite slot.
