1. Well, I hope that you have a backup because it seems that you overwrot some important data. If you can get the backup, try to make changes step by step checking if the PC still work. In this way you'll trace what corrupted the PC's script.

2. Uhm, what program did you use to insert the sprite?

3. To edit that text it's better to use an hex editor which support table files, like Thingy32/Translhextion for example. The presentation text can be edited just like a common textbox; keep in mind that the max length is 42 (or 40? I don't remember at the moment) instead of 36.

1) Aww, really?

I have a crapload of back-ups, but now I have to re-do all of Route 2 and a bunch of text in AdvanceText... D:

2) I'm using unLZ.GBA.

3) Okay, thanks. I'll try that.
 
I have a real noobie question, about a year back I started ROM hacking, I stopped due to GCSEs and such but now its my summer holidays I wanna start again, I have already put a new picture in my title screen on Fire red but my problem is... I cant remember how to edit pallets, there was a tutorial a while ago but its gone now... can someone point me in the direction of a guide or tell me how to? Thanks :) BTW, Hackmew, your tools are amazing!
 
ok i'm on hackmew's rom raiders team and he had me revamp some themes. i took new bark's theme and tabbed it out by hand in guitar pro 5(guitarist midi program) made my changes, and then exported it to midi. i went through sappy and mid2agb and everything like a tutorial said. but when i play the music in the game its slow, missing tracks at certain points, and then just stops randomly and when i go to somewhere with diff music, it won't start back! please help me
 
My script isn't triggering when the player steps on it. Its supposed to move the player, but nothing is happening.

#org 0x800050
Checkflag 0x26A
if 0x1 goto 0x800100
setflag 0x26A
applymovement 0xFE 0x800110
release
end

#org 0x800100
end

3) I can't seem to fix the beginning text in the box with a Pikachu on it. Take a look at Zel's example from Shiny Gold:

*image removed*

I've loaded up the three parts of the entering text into AdvanceText, but whenever I edit it...Well...

*image removed*

I understand that the reason that happens is because AdvanceText only edits the smaller text boxes, not that huge beast.

But, I need to know how Zel managed to edit the text without it coming out as NPC-talking-size. Is there a program that I already may have that edits what it says?

Thanks in advance,

The easiest way is to edit text in advance text editor (search for it in toolbox forum). All you need is to find the text and turn on the special dialog button and the text will appear to be normal.
 
I want to find the offset for the charizard in the FR
title screen to use with advanced pallette editor, how?

I think it is suppose to be

applymovement 0x800110 0xFE

0xFE always goes at the end.

I've just inserted the two Piplon's sprites wiht unLZ.GBA and I got the same problem. Taking a closer look, I saw that the palette used in the backsprite is not "well-formed". Well, probably you won't understand what I mean. So, try to see a normal Pokémon like Bulbasaur etc. and compare his normal palette with the shiny one. Then do the same thing for your Piplon. I'm sure you'll see the difference.

Well, there's a little tutorial in the Documents and Tutorial section. If you can wait, anyway, I'll post a tutorial for APE.

When using applymovement to move the player you have to use 0xFF, not 0xFE.

Try this:

Code: 
#org 0x800050
checkflag 0x26A
if 0x1 goto 0x800100
applymovement 0xFF 0x800110
setflag 0x26A
release
end

#org 0x800100
release
end

#org 0x800110
#raw 0x60
#raw 0x35
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0x80
#raw 0xFE

The easiest way is to use the search function. Open VBA, load the ROM and once on the titlescreen open the Palette Viewer. From there, save the background as a PaintShop palette or as an Adobe Color Table. Open APE, import the palette you just saved and change the index until you find the Charizard's palette. At this point, search it in the ROM and edit it as you like.

You need to enabled the National Dex otherwhise they will never evolve. In the Documents and Tutorials you can find a neat tutorial about it.

Also don't answer with wrong and pointless answer, please.
