[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

[midnight ride]

I'm relatively new to Rom hacking and I have a few questions.

I am hacking a Sapphire Rom.

1. I want to add an in game sprite of the g/s/c legendaires, is this possible, if so how?

2. I would like to add a new map (I think the real term is overworld map) but keep the old map as well. so is there a way I can have the two overworld maps in game? (I'm kinda adding a region of my own in and would like a map for it.)

3. And is there a way for when I make a new area to save it under a new name instead of renaming an already named map?

And while I'm asking I might as well ask, Is there a way to add D/P/P Pokemon into sapphire?

1) if I understand you right you want the 64x64 sprie to be an overworld sprite if so , yes It is posiable
2)yes, yes it is
3)if te pd pokemon deminsions are under 64x64 then yse if no you must re sise it to fit 64x64

Hi im new to pokemon hacking and i was just wondering how do you make a person say your name in the game. like when proffesor oak says your name id like to put that into scripting.

You put that as a [player] and the rival's name [rival]. There are some other options such as AQUA and MAGMA, but I don't know them.

Hi im new to pokemon hacking and i was just wondering how do you make a person say your name in the game. lie when proffesor oak says your name id like to put that into scripting. cheers

Oh, that's fairly easy. You just type in [PLAYER] anywhere you want someone say the player's name. Similarly, to say the Rival's name, just type [RIVAL]. There's another way, but rather than having to remember little codes (which can be confusing if you are new to hacking), I think this way is easier, no?

the thing is, when i do that in the game it i put hello [player] it just sais hello Á

I think I just answered that. :\
That's spam.

That's weird. Are you sure you've done everything correctly?

Put "\v\h01" in your talking script. That should work.

Can somebody help me with my (I think) messed up unlz-GBA?

So when I click 'Write to Rom', I sometimes find my image is too big, so when I repoint the Image Offset and press OK, I don't get any errors. But if I go to the next image, and go back to the "inserted image" It's back to the original. It didn't actually save, even though I get no errors. =/

I put in some screenshots to show my problem if you don't understand what I mean

question

this may sound like somewhat of a noobish question but in my hack the player needs to be able to surf from the beginning is there any way to negate the badge rule in order to use surf from the start?

 

[NarutoActor]

right at the brgining of the game set the flag (fith bage)

 

[Lyzo]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know how I can change the starting map without using HackMew's SMCA (Start Map Chooser Advance). Because for some reason, whenever I load my ROM in SMCA it has a runtime error '380' invalid property value. Which I have found no solutions to.
I was wondering if anyone else knows how to do it differently? Hex editing? Or a different tool. Or, if someone knows a fix to the problem :D

3)if te pd pokemon deminsions are under 64x64 then yse if no you must re sise it to fit 64x64

Yea you understood what I was trying to say. Is there any tutorials or tools I can use to do those things?

check the documents and tutorial section its filled with load of goodies

#org 0x16A5C5
setvar 0x8004 0x2
setvar 0x8005 0x1
special 0x173
setflag 0x4B0
setflag 0x820
setvar 0x406C 0x1
setflag 0x2E
clearflag 0x92
setvar 0x8008 0x1
call 0x81A6B18
goto 0x816A5F3

That's a part of Misty's person event code. I know the 0x820 flag sets the first badge (I moved the water gym to first, so I used her gym/script to start with). I think the 0x8008 0x1 sets the badge part of the card to see the first badge. Correct me if either of those are wrong. My question is:

What else should I change to make the script right for the first gym leader? I do want her badge to activate Cut. I do not want her to make pokemon up to level 30 obey you.

Wrong. setflag shows it in the trainer card and makes your pokemon obey.

also, answer to your question: just change the cut script and switch the checkflag with another one. easy! :)

Are you setting the new offsets yourself or just using the one's already entered?

Ya can also (if it's FR/LG hack) use special 0x161.
Player right after using it starts surfing.

@Counterfeit, I'm using FSF to find offsets with free space, and then putting them in. So in short term, I'm using my own offsets.
