Adding Multiplayer into Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter

[TheHunterManX]

This thread will cover how to insert direct connect into Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter.
Since beta 12 part 1 has been released, I have been playing it. While playing it, I thought "wouldn't it be cool to have battle my friends in the game?" With a bit of work, I was able to get multiplayer working. You too can have multiplayer if you follow these steps.
Warning: These steps are made for part 1 of beta 12. They may not work for future versions. Any save damage is not my responsibility.
Also, for those who don't want to go through the steps, here is the download link to the patch:

V2: https://www.mediafire.com/file/t48jzm5jxheeb1j/Pokemon Adventure Beta 12 Multiplayer V2.ips
Multiplayer scripts override from C00000 to C011B2 in V1 and C00000 to C011FA in V2.You can play direct connect by talking to the 2nd floor's nurse on right side.
in V2 you can now leave without cheating.

Step 1: Get XSE and Advancemap 1.92. If you cannot run XSE for some reason, use a hex editing program. Adding scripts will not be in the steps, so if Advancemap 1.92 doesn't work, then you'll have
to look elsewhere.
Step 2: Patch Pokemon Adventure Red Chapter to a clean Firered rom.
For XSE/Advancemap 1.92:

Spoiler:

Step 3: Open the patched rom in XSE.
Step 3.5(Optional): Change the Dynamic offset and erase offset to a free space in the rom.
Step 4: Paste and compile the script into XSE.
Step 5: Open the patched rom in Advancemap 1.92.
Step 6: Change a person event's script to the new offset of @1A8D7A
Step 7: Add Scripts to bank 0 map 0, 1 and 3. Look in the main script for where the offsets should be placed.
Step 7.5(Optional): Use any emulator to play the game. Talk to the person the script is set to and enjoy.

For Hex:

Spoiler:

Step 3: Open patched rom in the hex editing program.
Step 4: Copy the script(hex) and paste it into free space (C00000 is where the default is.)
Step 4.5(Optional): Go to step 5 in the for XSE steps and finish from there.
Step 5: Search for a offset that a person is using (2nd floor right nurse: 6D 9D 80 08)
Step 5.5(Optional): Select all places with this offset or replace all after Step 6.
Step 6: Replace offset with where you placed the script(hex).
Step 6.5(Optional): Go to step 7 in the for XSE steps and finish from there.

Script for XSE: https://www.mediafire.com/file/vkyi3sfa9tcos96/Direct_Connect_Multiplayer.rbc or https://pastebin.com/raw/kCCTBDRX
Script for hex: https://pastebin.com/raw/2NtfnxfP

What the script does:
-Adds direct connect with all the features.
I have tested the direct connect, battle mode works at the least. To leave, change movement permission tiles, change the script or just use a walk through walls cheat. I may update the patch later to fix this.

Send it to aethestode it will great to see it in official hack though

Well, I'll send him the link to this thread, but I'm pretty sure he knows how to do this. He probably removed the multiplayer due to the bugs it has.
Bugs:
a) Text doesn't show, player doesn't face correct direction. Probably easy to medium difficulty to fix.
b) Mega evolution doesn't work in multiplayer. Unless he fixes the mega evolution script (medium-hard) or multiplayer (hard) it won't work. Of course, this is if he's using Touched's mega evolution script.

Me ranting of what I think he will do:

Spoiler:

I don't know how Aethestode thinks, but seeing as though he will hold back part 2 for 2 weeks, he probably won't add multiplayer until all bugs are fixed. He probably doesn't have the time to fix it either, IF he can fix it. (bug a is part of a special and bug b is going to be hard to find in the code to fix or will cause problems with other parts of the code)

That said, it would be cool to see in the original rom hack.
