Is there a free empty tileset in Fire Red and Ruby? I heard that tileset 16 in Fire Red was free so I was just wondering if there were any others in FR and if any at all are in Ruby
​

I just checked through Fire Red and I found 16, 33, 55, and 56 to be free at least. I'm not sure about Ruby.
 
I was going through the Tilesets in Ruby to find a blank Tile data and made a discovery. I think tileset 37 are beta tiles. Are they used anywhere in the game, or are they (like said) beta tiles? I presume they are unused, as everywhere I guessed doesn't use them (Gyms, Trick House...)

Can you post a quick snapshot of that tileset? I don't have a Ruby on me currently.
 
I've searched around extensively for an answer, but how would one go around editing the text in a Pokemon Blue ROM? The hex editors I've tried don't work on Blue, and as for programs, can only find ones related to text editing for the Advanced versions.

Thanks a lot!

Hex editors are not specific as to which version (or even which game) they work for.

You just need to find a Blue version table file, which is effectively a translator that displays the hex code as English (on parts that include text).

The following attachment should work. Just extract the .tbl file from the .zip file, load up the Blue ROM in the hex editor, then open the table file (method differs depending on your hex editor), and search for the text you want to change!
 
Hi, I've been lucky enough so far to actually have all the tools I need (up until now) and to actually have the brain to try some trial and error with hacking the Advance games... but I think I just ran out of luck ^^;

Now, I've been working on tilesets (please hear me out) and my problem is not inserting a new tileset, no, my problem is actually that I cannot edit the block data. I've saved the block data for my tileset with the extension ".bvd" in AdvanceMap and now I can't find a tool that edits that data, nor do I know the format (if I did, I'd have made my own editor... and I fail at hacking formats ^^; ) I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS, AND Q&A TOPICS FOR AN ANSWER! (sorry but I wasn't yelling, people don't always read the entire post... at least capitals are read) but I yielded no result... I'd really like to edit the block images...

Thanks in advance.

Give me places to look, and I'll look, I've looked through the Trick House, the gyms, the Hideout... Can't see them.

Well, it's simple. Just sort the maps by Tileset number, and you'll see that not a single map uses tileset 37.

Thanks for the .tbl file! I'm having a bit of trouble, though - which hex editor would be best to open it up with? Translhextion doesn't seem to like the file.

I promise you that I am looking through an unmodified Ruby ROM. Check for yourselves if you don't believe me. Are these unused?

Does anyone know if there is an unused tileset like this in fire red?
 
What, beta tiles? There isn't up to 59 I think... I didn't check further. I will be though.

35 looked weird... Might be unused, but look like the binocular stands, but say are unused...

I've always used Hexecute, personally. It hasn't been updated in a long time, but it still works. You can grab it from most places with hex editors.
 
Anyone know what the palette offset is for the blue 'Controls' part of the intro in Fire Red?
​
 
There is a Script Help section for any script related help you might need
​
 
Er, this may have been answered somewhere after the 3rd page (I really am inpatient, and I apoligise.), but how do I have someone speak before a battle? I can't script at all :P (Please don't tell me if I can't script, I shouldn't be here... it happened before) So, is there any simple thing I can do?
