Just mess with the adjustment numbers until your map matches up. You're probably just missing something. Caves are made up of C tiles, I believe it's dependant on the tileset you use. Hope this helped somewhat.

I've got a question now. In my hack, I've added new attacks (completely new). However, I don't know how to give them animations, so they crash whenever I use them (with animations enabled). And since the animation pointers are such a mess, I have no idea what I'm doing.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I don't care if it means having no animations, as long as it doesn't crash.

How do you change the sprites/overworlds for the player to another? Like for example changing May to Prof. Oak ?

 

[Shadows]

Could I edit missngno to be like a real pokemon?
I would like it to have HP and the move splash, but disappear when you catch a pokemon.

I'm a newbie, if you couldn't tell, so please go easy on me. >.<

Anyway, I've been trying for a while to figure out how to change the palette colors of the battle sprites in Diamond.
I've figured out how to rip them out as .bmps using Pokemon DS/Pic, and putting them back in the .narc like that, but .....
Well, the colors revert back to a point where some of the ones I changed are kept, some go back to normal, and some just plain pick a new color.

I'm guessing this has to do with the limitations of the palette selection for each sprite.

Help a newb out and explain how I should go about this?

(I'm using the English Diamond rom, btw.)

 

[Zilliano]

Alright, after I find that byte....what do I do?

I'm completely new to hex editing...well, at least, in the manual doing of such. -.-;

I'm guessing I'd use that same program to generate a new Palette?

 

[Zilliano]

Guh, I can't get Translhextion to work. -.-
Any other editors that would work?
Also, could you give me a link to that particular Palette Editor? When I google it....Well, it seems like everyone and their great-grandmothers have made one.

Also, um.....
In what .narc would I find the sprites for the throwing animation? I've edited the trainer's backsprite, but I can't seem to find that part.

How do you translate DS ROMs from japanese to english?

 

[Zilliano]

The newest version is in Hack Mew's Tool Factory.

Thank you. ^_^

Though, I still can't get a hex editor to open the rom (They either freeze when opening, or freeze when searching) and even if I had gotten that far, I don't know what to DO with what I find to change the palette.
Ah well.

Still, can anyone point me towards the right .narc file for the trainer's throwing animation sprites?
I need to edit those to look like the default starting backsprite I made for him.

 

[trivium]

i started making a hack, but when i walk into oaks lab at the start the game restarts does anyone know why think happens, its on fire red by the way.

thanks in advance

I got a question about Hex editing trainers (only way for me now, since I can't get neither PET nor trainer edit at work).. Lets say I want to edit Bug Catcher Rick in viridian forrest... Here's what I found:

Offset: 0023FB2C

CC C3 BD C5 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 02 00
00 00 98 A5 23 08 00 3A 00 53

NOTE: I'm not completly sure if the 3A 00 53 is part of this trainer, or the one next to it, since there's a 3A 00 53 right before CC C3 BD etc.. as well.

Here's what I know:

98 A5 23 leads to the trainers pokemon, and I pressume that 3A 00 53 means what type of battle it is.

Here's what I don't know:

How do I find the offset to the actual script, which initiates the trainerbattle? (For instance the offset 1605E9 which leads to the script from Bug Catcher Rick)

Cuz if I search for Team Rocket Grunt (which I want to edit, because I don't know how to replace the sprite of the trainer, and I need a team rocket battle) then I do find it, but it's completly diffirent from other trainer battles (except for gym leaders, which are diffirent as well).

I'm sorry if I explained it badly, but I'm just bad at explaining complicated stuff :P

 

[-DarK-]

Usually you would have to search for their name and the Pokemon data should be right after that. Like with Bug Catcher Rick you would have to search for Rick.

I know, that's how I got the info, but now I need to search for Team Rocket grunt, and once found, I find something completly diffirent from the other trainers.... (If it helps, I'm looking for trainerbattle 0x239)

 

[-DarK-]

Hmm...did you try searching for his Pokemon data? The data goes [2-byte Level Data][00][Pokemon 1(4 -byte)].

Actually, that's the problem I got: I don't know the pokemon and I'm not far enough in my firered rom (lost the save files a year or so ago) and playing through the game again would take too much time..

 

[Zilliano]

You have to change the japanese letter bytes to english letters and then rewrite the text.



Maybe your computer doesn't have much speed, check my signature (Presea's Tool Archive) for APE.

Nooooo, it has a LOT of speed.
The thing can run Crysis on High settings, so I think it should be able to run a hex editor. >.<

Prof. Birch offset

does anyone know prof. birches sprite offset I know he's a tilemap but i can't find him in tile molester and I searched all over the web and found nothing

 

[Zilliano]

Thank you. ^_^

*look in quote*
Seriously, can anyone answer my question?
I figured out a way around the palette thing.
But I still can't find those sprites.
Does ANYONE know where they are?

 

[Christos]

Are you hacking Ruby? Prof. Birch's intro sprite's offset is 39DBF4.

 

[Shadows]

You would need to find Missingno's stats and edit or redirect them to new pointers so that it is like a Pokemon.

Does anyone know where Missingno's stats would be?
I have no idea where it could be, since I have no idea what to search for(where stats could be, where missingo's stats could be, what stats to edit)
(I'm a noob when it comes to hex editing:\)

 

[Zilliano]

Another option would be to search for GRUNT, then change the data slightly of them till you get one right, just using trial and error.



You can always try different hex editors there are many of them, Zophar's Domain has heaps.



Usually the backpics are located towards the end of the tiles, so you would have to use a tile editing tool to find them.

I tried that, with TilEd 2002, but all I got was some garbled orangish mess. What am I supposed to put in? The trbgra.narc? Hell, what settings should I be using? There's no DS option.
I've got the stationary backpic for the trainer edited, but the other ones where he throws the ball still elude me.... >.>
