anyways, it seems to skip the msgboxes and im not sure why. while going thru the steps made by diegoisawesome, he says " In the second part[script], there should be a pointer to your script. Under it, there should be a #raw word 0x(random number). Replace the random number with 0. Compile it and test it out in the game." But when i did it the random number was already 0, im not sure if thats the cause of the problem. can someone plz help me?

How to edit Special Abilities' names? And,is there a way to edit their effects?

If I'm right, there isn't a tool yet to change abilities. Their names can be changed using a hex editor, if I'm right, but you need to ASM hack the effects if I'm right.

Could you compile it and then decompile it in PKSV? I'm alot better with PKSV and maybe then I can help you.

By the way, does someone have the offsets where the Ralts Wally catches and the Zigzagoon he uses are stored in Ruby (AXVE)?

 

[Andrut]

How do i edit the image with the Rayquaza lurking from haze? What's the offset in UNLZ?
Also,i have problems with editing the image saying things like "Gamefreak inc.,Nintendo 199something-2005" and things like that. When i change it,just a black screen appears instead the Bootscreen. What's the cause?

I'm still fairly new to level scripts and wondered something about it.
When you trigger a level script for the first time, will it not trigger the next time? So, for instance, if I walk in a building and a level script activates where a guy says "hi" and that's all I put in the script, if I re-renter the building, will the guy do the same thing or not do anything?

To all those wondering...Inserting a map is much easier than you'd think. It's kinda long so I'll spoiler it:

Spoiler:

Make a new image in whatever image editor you like ( I really recommend photoshop if you have it). Make sure that that image is size 208 x 144 pixels. Index it(so it only uses 16 colors). Create it, you may have to edit it a bit later...but there is a tutorial or two out there to help with that. Then open sphere editor, and click import image to map. Make sure that you add one 8x8 box in the corner of the map that is black(you should have black and white chosen as 2 of your 16 colors for the image). Open up NTME and open the image you created as your tileset. Open your tilemap from the RMP file that sphere created(find the tilemap size in the right-hand corner). Click + for raw size until it's 30x21 tiles. Use NTME's shifting feature to move you map so that there are 2 free spaces on the left, and 2 on the right, and two on top, none at the bottom. For row one, make it all blue, row two 1 black tile, all blue, then one black again at the end. For the rest of the tiles that are free make them black(this is so that they become transparent, and the map borders are shown). Save your tilemap as a raw. Go into unLZ, find the tileset(around 190) and import your image, check import image and auto-abort of data is bigger. It shouldn't be bigger, so it will overwrite. Finally, click file, load raw and load the raw file you made with ntme. Write to rom again, and give a new offset(for example 00800000). Open your rom in hex editor and do a hex search for 9c083f08, replace that with 00008008(or whatever the pointer is for your rom). Finally you have to edit the map palette, you can find that at offset 003ef2dc.

Also, a script will keep replaying over and over unless you set a flag and tell it not to.

Hi, I'm trying to do change the battle music. Itried to use setvar 0x7030 0x[song number], but it isn't working. I'm using Pokémon Ruby (US)(AXVE).
Please help me!

 

[superblah411]

I just need a little help. I started a rom hack a while back, and am now just picking it back up. I used to open Advance Map, then open scripts with XSE through AM to edit them. Now I can't get my scripts to get onto my rom. I save thed .RBC, then went to batch compiler, selected my rom, etc but it hasn't worked. I'm sure I've just skipped over something. Any ideas? Does the .RBC file have to be in a certain folder?

 

[NintendoBoyDX]

Errmmm...What? Just use XSE's built-in function that inserts your script on the rom. Then go into advancemap and put the script in a person event or sciptbox.

 

[siper x]

okay, my problem is that some of my warps aren't working, and when i delete them and make new ones, the still don't work. (i've checked, double checked, and triple checked and they are set at the right mao and bank) instead of going to the map i want, it goes to a different member of the eliet 4. any ideas?

 

[adhdguitar]

Quick question, when I use A-Trainer to change a trainer's data to be a double battle, and you battle that trainer with only one Pokemon in your party, instead of sending out just one Pokemon, you send out two copies of the same Pokemon. Any advice?

Edit: I figured out the problem, you need to change a parameter in the script for the person event, but I have a new question.

In a Fire Red Rom, pretty much everything from 0x071A244 on is blank, does this mean I can use Offsets past that safely?

 

[NintendoBoyDX]

Make sure your warp goes both ways, and that if the door is more than one tile in length, you make more than one warp box(should be examples of it in Pallet town indoor warps)..

 

[siper x]

EDIT: tried it, didn't work.

Use setvar and checkvar/compare.
For example (for PKSV):

Spoiler:

#org 0x880000
compare 0x4080 0x1
if FALSE jump 0x881000
end

#org 0x881000
msbox 0x882000
callstd MSG_FACEPLAYER
setvar 0x4080 0x1
return

#org 0x882000
= Guy: Hi!

Does anyone know where I can find the trainer's head/icon thing on the pokenav map in emerald? I've scanned through UNLZ several times to no avail and it's driving me mad! Thanks

 

[Mugendai]

Where can I find documents about the locations of Pokemon species data in Pokemon RSE/FrLg ROMs? Also, a list of all the RSE/FrLg characters and their corresponding ASCII/Unicode values would be nice too. I want to write a script in Python that automatically dumps all the Pokemon data into a text file. This would be particularly useful for two different reasons: making a Pokedex of a ROM hack that completely replaces all the Pokemon (Touhoumon World Link), and contributing significantly to the Glitch City Laboratories Decamarks project.

Bulbapedia's articles are incomplete; they do not tell me where the Pokemon names and dex numbers are, for example. Also, search engines are not helpful in this case.

Not a very simple question... but not complicated enough to warrant its own thread, I think.

still need help. the warps go both ways, but it still will not work. could it be something is wrong with the rom?

One thing you could do is check to see if you have the movement permissions set up correctly. Sometimes a warp will not function with the movement permission. For example, to make a door warp, you need a 1, but for a cave entrance you need a C.

 

[siper x]

it's a 10. passable hight 3, and it is supose to be a warp like the pokecenters. i have it set at warp down, checked everything, and it isn't working

also, how do you change what hm you can use with each badge?

 

[superblah411]

Errmmm...What? Just use XSE's built-in function that inserts your script on the rom. Then go into advancemap and put the script in a person event or sciptbox.

Can I get more clarification on this? I thought my last post was enough show that I have no idea what I'm doing.

Just use Free Space Finder to find space in the ROM for your script, copy that offset, open XSE and go to that offset, enter your script there, and hit Compile. (It's the button with two gears near the top.) If you're having trouble doing this, XSE has a built-in Help file that would be worth looking at.

Now, on to my question.

Hi, I put this script on a person event in the beginning of the game that is supposed to give you your first Pokemon. Just for the sake of experimentation I made it a Mew on Level 35. However, it won't obey the player for some reason. Also, the Person Event won't disappear, and I set it's ID to 0x11.
