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

[Perri Lightfoot]

Reposting; as my efforts at researching this for myself have so far been fruitless efforts in frustration ^^'

Quick question hopefully someone can answer :)

In my hack, routes have been replaced by a dungeon system like PMD's (except there's no randomness involved). The problem with this is that Pokemon Ruby has a limited number of flight positions, which means that as of now, my hack is forced into being supremely unforgiving of players dying in dungeons - they're forced back into town and have to start the dungeon all over again. I know you can add more flight positions into the game and then repoint the flight table; but I don't know where to find said flight table in Ruby. ^^' Does anyone know at what offset it starts and ends?

Thanks so much in advance :)

I'm using Yape and hacking Emerald

I'm planning on adding pokemon using the ??? slots but there isn't an option to change the POKEMON Pic or editing the pokedex entry.

Can you help solve my problem

As far as I know, there is no way of adding Pokedex information for the ? Pokemon. However, it is theoretically possible to add Pokemon Pictures, cries, learn sets, etc. for them. However, it would be a rather complicated process, involving the use of the following programs, in addition to the spriting: PokeCry; UnLZ; YAPE; A hex editor

If you think you can handle it, PM me for more details. Note that I myself have never tried this, though I have edited the normal Pokemon.

A question on my part: Would there be any way to make it so that in my Ruby hack, instead of Karrablast evolving into Escavalier when traded for a shelmet, you get Escavalier by breeding Karrablast and Shelmet. I know how to make it so you would get Escavalier by breeding Karrablast, but I want to make it so if you breed it with anything but a Shelmet, you get a Karrablast.

Sadly, you can't eidt their Pokedex entries as they don't appear in the Pokedex at all. You can edit their pictures by using Wichu's Advanced Tools, which can be found in the toolox.

im sorry but does anyone know? where the hp bar tileset for in-battle is?

It would really help if you told us what ROM you were hacking. I'm not too sure where it is in R/S/E but in a clean Fire Red rom the battle boxes are found around 576 - 581. This includes your HP bar, the opponenets Hp bar and the Hp bars for double battles.

How do I go about using trainer sprites from 4th and 5th gen in my leafgreen hack without them looking really large when I'm in a battle?

Resize them. A good way to make them look properly scaled is by changing all of the trainer sprites that way they all look about the same size by comparison.

use Special 0x1F3. Remember to use it in conjunction with Setflag 0x861 if you wan the player to start with the National Dex.

Restore from your backup and try applying the changes again. If you didn't create a backup, you have to start over from scratch. Then, create backups periodically in case that happens again.

I've found a move editor for diamond and pearl, in which i've edited the HM moves to my liking, however, using nitro explorer to extract the .narc, i've now been unable to find the matching .narc in my HG.nds (i extracted wotbl.narc, which if i read correctly contains move data)

Anyone know which narc i need to replace with my extracted and edited .narc from pokemon diamond? Because the set-up of the .narcs in HG is massively different from those in D/P/P

EDIT:

Ok i found the solution for editing moves in HG/SS, it's the wotbl.narc (at what level do pokemon learn moves) and the waza_tbl.narc (the move data), in the HG/SS structure the waza_tbl is in a/0/1/1 and the wobtl is in a/0/3/3

Special thanks for Alpha, his older posts helped me find it :D

2nd EDIT:

Alright, despite finding all the correct .narc entries, the game now crashes whenever i enter battle....
This leads me to believe that i still don't know enough as to what i am doing when it comes to replacing .narc files, anyone willing to help me out here or point me towards a move editor that works on HG/SS so i don't have to fuss with the .narc files?

Reposting with some new info:

I am currently trying to enter my edited pokemon diamond move data .narc file into my HG game, they are the same size before extracting, however, after reinsertion they are suddenly 4 times their original size, which i believe is causing my game to crash...

Any advice on how to prevent this?

EDIT: solved the problem, no more help needed

Can you detail what you did before you started getting the white screen error?

Hey, I have a question about programming.

I am working in a tool and I need to find free space in the rom. I am using my own method, but it isn't very good.

Someone can give me a answer about this?

PS: I use visual basic 2008.

I'm not sure what your question is but if you're looking for free space in a rom, it should be characterized by FF bytes in a HEX Editor.

I'm looking for a supporter to help me make the intro movie (the one where the hero is riding the bike and Latios flies in). I want to make it so instead of grass, it's a shoreline on a beach with the water visible. Also, it's either Reshiram or Zekrom (instead of male or female hero) flying along the beach, then Keldeo comes in and is gliding across the water. I have issues creating the flying Reshiram and Zekrom sprites, and the side-view Keldeo sprite. If someone could help me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

HM08 Dive use in FireRed

Hi there, sorry to bug you with a question from my very beginning on this forum.

I've been spending a long time searching for a way to enable natively HM08 (Dive) outside battles in Pokémon FireRed, with no success. I've seen that a couple of hacks implement this feature even if they're not based on Ruby, so I was wondering in which way I could possibly enable Diving on RF without relying on ASM hacking, only by using XSE scripting. I've never touched the former, while I've already been scripting something with the latter.

I know that might be practically impossible, so in case there's no solution avoiding the use of ASM, can anyone suggest me what to search for hacking that by myself (or maybe tell me how to copy-paste the code from another hack, I'll credit the original author properly)?

Sorry for my (at least i think) bad English :\

hi im having a huge problem with gym leaders, i have just finished inserting a custom battle background for gyms, however every time i fight the leader they use the background a normal trainer uses when you fight them on a grassy route:

Example:

fighting a trainer in the gym:
"image removed"

fighting the leader:
"image removed"

see what i mean?

Is there a hex address to change what backgrounds gym leaders use?

 

[jota_rdk]

No xDD.

I am working in a tool with vb2008 and I want the tool finds the free space. In fact, I can do it, but my method y too slow...

 

[BBLemon]

I've looked nearly everywhere, but can't find it. How do I edit a trainer's battle sprite in HG/SS? As well as removing the feature that has the Pokemon follow you? I cannot find how to do this.

 

[SynysterKobra]

I'm having this problem where the sprite won't show up when the player steps on a tile with the script. Now at first I thought it was the script, but after testing a different WORKING script on the same tile, the same thing happened. The sprite was invisible. Is there a way to fix this?

 

[Selerbi]

Another problem, I scripted and everything, when I tried to exit the house, the game suddenly froze, and when I checked the advance map program, it said that the town doesnt exist... when I try to edit Pallet town 3.0 2 errors poping! what can I do??

 

[deoxys121]

EDIT: Found a Genesect overworld sprite.

I also need assistance with editing the intro movie where the hero is riding the bike and then Latios flies in. If you are able to support in any of these categories, please PM me.

 

[MayanMan2012]

Okay, I have a question that I am pretty sure I know the answer to, but I just want to be on the safe side.

If a script is controlling the player while he's walking through pokemon-infested grass, is there any chance a wild pokemon can pop out and interrupt the script?

Also, does anyone know how to edit the description of an item? Or is there a certain item-editing tool that does this?
