Adding Evolutionary Stones

This might not be so simple, but I can't figure out where else to post it.

Is there any way to change certain unused items to the evolutionary stones from Generations IV and V? These being the Shiny Stone, Dusk Stone, and Dawn Stone. I've tried using Item Editor to change the unused Red Orb in my Ruby hack to the Shiny Stone. I used Pokemon Amplifier (as YAPE does not allow this) to set Sentret (replaced by Minccino in my hack) to evolve with a Red Orb (again, replaced with Shiny Stone). In Item Editor, I repointed the description to the one for an evolutionary stone and changed it to go in the item bag. But, when I try to use it, I get the "There's a time and place for everything" message. How can I fix this, if possible?

I can't get my Warp and Sign Post events to appear on the map I'm editing.

If you're using AdvanceMap, new events you create always appear in the top-left corner. Also, you may have "show sprites" turned on. You have to turn that off to see non-person events. Click the button that has the picture of the hero to toggle "show sprites" on and off.

Now I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the warps to go to a certain map. Also I don't know how to add my own text to the sign posts either.

There's a drop down menu under the Header tab that allows you to move the map to a different "folder".

is there any way to put the physical and special type system that exists in gen IV into gen III games? If so then that would be really cool.

You should check out this thread. It's been done but apparently there are some bugs.

On Advanced Map when I placed Oak in a different spot on FireRed I can't get him to walk up to my character anymore.

Sounds like all you did was move the sprite? If so, your going to have to either edit the script tile that activates his movements and add more movement commands to match the needed steps or create a new script. The reason for this is hat the script specifies that Oaks sprite is set to move a set amount of movements and not just to get to the player.

How do I edit scripts?.......

How do I edit scripts?.......

First, download PKSV here, it's the script editor I use. Then, set up AdvanceMap to use PKSV as the script editor. To do this, go to Settings > Choose Script Editor, then navigate to pksvui.exe. For more information on editing specific aspects of scripts, go to the Script Help Thread here. Note that script editing can be complicated and confusing; take your learning of scripts little by little.

Sorry if this has already been asked but I wasn't sure what exactly to search, anyways...

How do I remove/change the script that sends the player back to his mother after all of his Pokemon die. (This only occurs before reaching the first pokemon center.)

Adding your own text is part of scripting.

For the warps, you will see the information of the selected warp in the right pane. It shows which map number it goes to, which warp on that map it goes to (they start at 0), and which map bank that map is contained in. You can see the map's map bank and map number listed next to the map name in the left pane like this (map bank, map number). This image explains information of a warp in Littleroot Town that goes to the player's house.

does anybody have the offsets of all of the textboxes in fire red for unlz and a place i can find dppt textboxes?

 

[gameguru]

I am having issues putting new sprites in Pokemon Fire Red.
I have followed the tutorials about Indexing the sprites then inserting them with UNLZ-GBA. When I use Advance trainer, the sprite shows up fine, but when I verse the trainer in game, the screen goes black. I can still hear the music though.
Any ideas on what i'm doing wrong?

Most likely is that the sprites were written to an offset without enough free space. Use Free Space Finder to find an offset that has enough space. When you import the sprite, first make sure the auto-abort box is checked. It will say "compressed size is ___" which is too big. First, convert it to decimal (PKSV and a certain version of FSF can do this). Then search that decimal number in FSF. After this, copy the offset and paste it into "image offset" in UnLZ. Make SURE "Automatically fix pointers" is checked. It won't display in UnLZ, but it will show in the ROM, A-Trainer, etc. Hope that works out for you!

In my Ruby hack, I replaced Shedinja with Eelektross. I removed the Wonder Guard ability, but Eelektross now only has 1 HP like Shedinja. Is there any way to remove this so Eelektross gets HP like any other Pokemon? This is shown in the screenshot below.

Have you edited it's base stats?

Yes, I made the base stats identical to the ones listed on Eelektross's Bulbapedia page. Here's its YAPE entry:

I imagine there is some check at the level up routine to see if it's Shedinja or not, making it not gain HP (or setting it to 1). This requires ASM.
