If you want to learn how to script, I learnt it using thisvideo tutorial, although it's for Pokescript, not XSE, so that might not be what you want.
 
@DavidJCobb: Yeah I realized, I'm now using Advance Map 1.92... :P

I have another question, regarding replacing existing 3rd gen sprites in Emerald with D/P ones. I've been using this Tutorial and on ''Stage 2'' Step 2, it says my sprite isn't indexed, I've followed the whole tutorial. I'm using Windows 7 and I've read that this method won't work with Windows 7 and I'm wondering if its true? or if there is an alternative?

If you use GIMP, you can find instructions on creating a precisely-indexed image here.
 
I have a small question.

In Pokémon Fire Red and Pokémon Leaf Green, does each Unown form have its own palette? Or do Unown forms share a common palette (which could be the case because only their form changes)?

Thanks a lot.

All the unknown use the same palette by default, but they each contain their own unique pointer in the palette table so they can be individually changed.
In Firered BPRE, the pointers for the normal palette start at 0x237954, and the shiny palette pointers start at 0x238714.
Most tools for editing Pokemon sprites will take this into account.

Whoa, that was quick! Thank you very much, I was hoping for this answer!

I guess the Unown Forms cannot have different moves, stats etc., can they?
 
Questions

I have a couple of questions

1. I was trying to add all r/s tiles to fire red by exporting the picture, blocks, and palettes but when I insert the tiles are either funny colored or all messed up. How can I fix this?

2. Has it already been achieved to increase the number of tiles in he world map in fire red from 256 to 1024 or 2048?

Thanks.
 
Need little help...

Hi, okay to be honest, i'm kinda new at this stuff,
and i don't want to sound like i know everything you know,
i just have some spare time nowadays and wanted to try something new.

i recently started with hacking a ROM just to learn a couple things about it,
but you know when you want to test something, you always have to start over before you even can test the thing you want to test.

so now i just want to know (even if it's just a link to another thread),
- if you can skip, edit or remove the introduction screen of pokemon LG/FR??
- how to start at a map you recently added,
- how to already have at least 1 pokemon in the beginning of the game,


al these are just to test the things i want to edit, like (for example) add a new trainer, i want to see if the trainer reacts like how i want it, and for that i don't need the whole introduction screen!!!

if somebody please could help me out for this i would appreciate your time.

You don't have to restart every time. If you're using VisualBoyAdvance, you can use Shift-F1 to make a savestate file, which effectively saves your game. Just press F1 again to load it.
To change the map you start at, you can use Starter Map Chooser Advance (SMCA).
For the last one, it can be done rather easily with a level script.
 
Does anyone know the pallet offset for the green circle under professor Oak's sprite in FR/LG?
 
Thanx for the help, but still help needed.

though i appreciate your reply, still there are some problems with this,
first of all, if i restart from a savestate file, the things i changed aren't in the game, i really have to restart from the beginning all the time.
so it would be really great if i could skip that introduction screen somehow (with Prof Oak)...
ok, that SMCA was really helpfull, thanks for that man :)
hmm, if i knew how to do it, i already had done that,
but the level scripting is somewhat out of my league here xp

The savestate problem is simple. You can't be on the map you edited. It needs to be reloaded before the changes will show up. Hope that helped.
 
I'm using map connections and using a different tileset 2 on the second map. However it doesn't load the different tileset when I go into the next map, it keeps the original so It looks all messed up, how do I fix this?
