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

[Jonny Buuz]

I don't actually need to animate, just recoloring would even be fine.

But can I make another of it without changing the original?

I want a red surf. I currently made the new move over another move, so it has that moves animation. Can I make it surfs but red but still keep surf blue?

I don't think so. I think you'd have to overwrite Surf in order to have the Surf animation.

Unless of course, as I mentioned earlier, you plan to get into ASM programming.

I'm really sorry if this has been addressed- the search wasn't helping me at all for some reason. I feel kind of silly because this seems really basic and I'm not totally sure why the PC search and Google haven't turned up anything good.

Basically, I need help using Advance Text. A general tutorial would be nice. I've seen a video one floating around the internet, but my internet is really slow and I can't really stream video too well. If there's a written tutorial out there it would help a LOT.

The specific problem I'm having is that I'm getting an error that says "The text pointer wasn't found! The text can't be edited!" I guess it's possible that I used up the game's memory, but that doesn't seem likely to me. I'm just doing a simple hack where the names of the pokemon and gym leaders are changed, and I've seen hacks that did a lot more than that and turned out fine.

I haven't used A-Text in about three years, but here's what I remember:

Using the search function, you can look for strings of text that are not already indexed in the .ini file. Text must be edited to the exact character length, or you will have to repoint the data.

Are you saying that when trying to repoint, you're getting an error saying the text can't be edited? Because I don't ever remember seeing anything like that, either. Might be a bad rom; have you tried others?

Could someone do me a favor? This post is definetly in the wrong place but I don't know where else to put this.
I need someone to add midis I could email to them to a pokemon ruby rom and then use an IPS patch and send it to me.
If whoever is willing to do so could send me their email address I could get this done...
Thanks! Xxerox9009

How do you make a script that allows player to choose more choices, other than 'Yes' and 'No'?

Example in the game (the sailorman in Vermillion City, prompting player to choose One Island, Two Island, Three Island...):

Sorry... I tried to use the search function, using many keywords, but search turns out none.

I don't know if this considered simple question or not. I can't post in the Script Help Thread as I thought this is requesting script. I just want the code.

...How about decompiling that script and learn what it says?

Basically, I'm making a hack that doesn't really change anything other than the names of the pokemon, and I was going in and changing any text that mentions a pokemon by name to the new name. There was repointing involved, but the text was usually only longer by a couple of characters (and sometimes it was even shorter). Sometime around Fuschia I suddenly wasn't able to edit text anymore because I was getting that error. I guess I could try to download another rom and this time do a little more to try and keep everything the same length. o 3o

What is the offset or unlz gba location of the trainer back sprite in Pokemon Emerald BPEE

 

[x Necromorph x]

Idk^^

Ok I have a warp that everytime I go into it, the screen goes black. All the other warps on the map work, just not that one. I have no clue why, and I even tried deleting the warp and making a new one.

Can someone tell me whats wrong?

I had trouble with it when I first started as well. Try using the patch, rather than the Applier. The patch will apply all the changes in the Hacked Engine for you and it's easy to do.

Once you've done that, venture to my tutorial to add the sprites:

Adding New Overworlds for Dummies

Please leave a comment if it was helpful. :)

I got distracted and haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a much better explanation.

I haz a new question. Does anyone know where I can get renders of Team Magma\Aqua\Rocket and the two trainers from FIre Red? I already have the Male Trainer. Let me know if you need to see the render as an example.

1. Where can I find the Overworld Resizer/Changer (link in thread takes me to fileden homepage)? I've already considered downloading Nameless Sprite Editor, however, I don't want to download .net framework.

2. How do you change the team names of team aqua and magma to team ____ and team _____?

3. How do I make multiple grass tiles in a-map without it gliching and replacing all of the other grass tiles (even in the "block box")?

 

[Jarin]

I believe the answers to those questions is ASM, I'm afraid.

Alright, would anyone know where I could find some information on regarding ASM and replacing/creating new weather effects? I'm not completely unfamiliar with ASM, but I'm also not too comfortable with it.

2. How do you change the team names of team aqua and magma to team ____ and team _____?

I think I found them once when I was trying to change the standard names for the player's rival in Emerald (i.e., change what [rival] displays in a script from "BRENDAN" and "MAY" to something else). What game are you trying to hack? I might be able to find them again if I know what game you're using.

edit: I had nothing better to do so I went ahead and looked up the addresses for Emerald and Ruby. If you're using Sapphire, then you'll just have to look around the same addresses for Ruby because I don't own a Sapphire ROM.

Emerald:
0x0090AC - pointer to "AQUA" (0x5E8231)
0x0090B4 - pointer to "MAGMA" (0x5E8236)
Ruby:
0x006FA8 - pointer to "AQUA" (0x40DC91)
0x006FA0 - pointer to "MAGMA" (0x40DC96)

3. How do I make multiple grass tiles in a-map without it gliching and replacing all of the other grass tiles (even in the "block box")?

You're going to have to be a little more specific. What exactly is the problem?

For replacing weather effects, you might find this tutorial helpful.

...How about decompiling that script and learn what it says?

I tried to decompile but I don't think I get it right, this is what I do:

I decompile Pokemon LeafGreen by right-clicking the ROM and press 'Decompile'. I input the offset ($16691D) of the sailor in Vermillion City using Pokescript. Then it tell me to enter mode. What is the mode means?

Try looking at the 2nd Rival battle script, the one on the route on the left of Viridian City mind you, on FireRed. It pretty much has the same mechanics.

Could someone please just add music I can give them to a pokemon ruby rom using sappy for me? I know how to use sappy, it just stops responding when I click "Assemble that ugly thing!". I already put a post here not too long saying how I think this post is in the wrong thread but I don't know where else to put it. If someone could just give me their email by either responding here or pming me, idc, I could send my midis (music) to them. If that doesn't work, I'll send them which song they are which are in fact all off the same website. SOMEBODY PLEEEEEAAAAASE HELP ME!!! -Xxerox9009

Well, you're not allowed to ask for help in the 'simple questions' thread. You either get helped or form a team.

i made a few new routes in my hacked fire red and i was wondering how to make a new header so i can have specific route names pop up and how to move one map from one bank to another

i made an area in rock tunnel that takes you to the power plant(which is now the only way to get to the power plant) and the map is under palett town

i also made another map for bills garden and its under palett town and i want it to have its own bank and map so when i walk into it it says BILL'S GARDEN

Where would I find NDS2MIDI? I had the program awhile ago but I lost it on computer transfer. I haven't found a good link anywhere or where to find it. I only want to get some PMD midis off of my rom...

My question was skipped. I would really like an answer.

 

[icychill66]

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the battle background's image in Fire Red? I know how to change the pallet, but I want to insert a whole new image. I couldn't really find any info on this.

 

[siper x]

can you add a sprite that shares pokedex info with another one, but can have different attacks and type?

example:
onix, rock type
crystalonix, rock ice type
