    Hello everyone.

    So I am new to ROM hacking but I have gotten the gist of it quite quickly. However, there are still a few things I don't know how to do and things in my game that are not working.

    1. What does OW stand for?
    2. I made a hidden item signpost and everything works fine. However, the Hidden ID is 00, is this normal? It is the first hidden item script in the game, so I could see it being normal to be 00.
    3. My map bank and map is correct but when I enter my new warp it enters a room where I cannot move and the room is just orange lines.
    4. This is not a problem and not something I'm looking on for help, but if anyone had a link to a tutorial for making the inside of GYM's and also fighting the gym leader, that would be great. I think I will struggle finding out how to give the TM and badge after a battle.

    EDIT: Also, anyone have a tutorial on editing in fairy types and the special/physical split that would be a help. I know there is a patch for special/physical but they state that I would need to manually change every move to either 0, 1 or 2 but I do not know how to do that.

    I don't know much about Pokemon Red hacking, but what I do know is that for point #4 you need to create a script. Simply you make a map (IDK how, never did it) and then make a new event (people event, the gym leader). You make a new script for the trainer battle and if you win then you have to give the player a badge (enable a flag?) and give an item (the TM).

    I'm sorry I'm not much of a help but I've never hacked Pokemon Red... Goodluck!
     
    I had my own question and troubleshooting thread open where user Crystal explains map warps in a lot of detail. Did you write a script for your hidden item? I've been trying to figure out how to mirror that code, but have so far been unsuccessful. Crystal did point out to me that you really need to expand your WRAM bank to add more scripts. There's space yet to be utilized in the code that's easy enough to get to, but if your hidden item works without issue I'm unsure what the point is.

    Question for you: What are you hacking with, HEX, pokered or some other option I'm forgetting?
     
    Hello everyone,

    Sorry I meant Fire Red not Red.
    I'm hacking with AdvancedMap and I did not write my own script I use the signpost technique. It isn't as if my hidden item doesn't work, I can pick up one rare candy, it's just that I have had problems with values being set to 00 before.

    I have never seen a tutorial just for making a Gym but you will want to read a mapping and scripting tutorial.
