1: I edited the team magma guy in petalburgwoods but i did gave him a torchic with pet so when i battled him the whole screen turned purple what can i do to get i back normal and is it because of pet (so edit the trainers pkmn)
2: i edited the brendan sprite in unlz but when i play the rom and click on new game the game starts over how can i get this normal ?

1. Try redoing the changes with a clean ROM. Screen changing color is not normal, and is most likely cause by a corruption of data. (Might have been done by PET, could've happened by other editing also.)

2. Same for this. Try re-doing the changes with a clean ROM. When inserting the pic, be sure to repoint the image data to an offset with free space to avoid corruption.

i have one problem:
I edited a couple of things in AM. Then I opened up my hack in Elitemap and this showed up (see attachment)

My game is Firered version.

Is it because I edited it in AM? Is it possible that if you edit something in AM you can't open up the file in Elitemap? If so its fine with me, I just liked Elitemap better because you can switch levels easily.

Anyone know the answer?

2. Does anyone know where the title screen in Firered is? You know the letters that say "Fire Red". I am searching for it in Unlz.gba but I can't find it. Does anyone know the number of it? (You know, 78, 1618, etc.)

Because there are some issues with AM and EM at the moment.
As said many times before, a ROM edited with AM won't load properly in EM afterwards and vice versa.
However the new AdvanceMap version will try to fix this.

2. 2009. YOu might need to adjust the pallete.

I need to know how to edit the legendary Pokemon battles in Emerald Version. Poketronic 0.7 with the INI update doesn't work ( I found script offsets myself for all the battles and it told me "Load not supported" ). (Rayquaza Script at $23979A, Latias/Latios Script at $242AC4, Kyogre Script at $23B01B, Groudon Script at $23B0EC , Regiice Script at $238F58, Regirock Script at $22DA02, Registeel Script at $23905A.)

EDIT: ARGH. I now know why I can't see Steven's trainer battle and, most likely, the Frontier Brains too... It's because PET can't see past Emerald's trainer #2B5 (hex), and Steven's battle is #324 (hex)! Trainer data is at $310059. Is it possible to edit the Trainers beyond #2B5 (Fisherman Chris)?

Thank you very much.

For point 1: What do you want to edit in those battles?
If you just want to change the Pokémon, open up your Hex-Editor, go to the offsets and search for the Pokémon bytes. Then replace them with the one for the Pokémon you want to battle instead. (Might appear twice according to if a cry is played before or not.)
Then just change the text if needed and that's it.

For point 2: It is possible to edit the data beyond, but not with PET, as it only reads til 2B5, as you said.
Your only other choice to edit the other trainers is using a Hex-Editor.
Since you have the offsets, just load your ROM in your Hex-Editor and edit the data manualy.

When i want to change pokemon in PET i got 2 options: 1. Pokemon are as pictures, but then i can change at one klick only +1 or -1, so it takes long, until i get pokemon, that i want.
2. I make option "show as text", but i don't have then real pokemon names. There are only "{\h49'\tdd[d]p\..." or something like this. How can i fix it?

1. You didn't ask question! o.o
2. You need to adjust the offset given at "MonsterNames" in the entry for your ROM in the PokeRoms.ini file.
Seems like it isn't set properly.

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee i need for my game:D

The Tools Showcase is a nice place to find what you need.
Have a look at the stickied Hacking Tools Reference.

That worked well! Thank you Scizz!

Now I just have to learn how to find overworld pallets and I'm really in business...

Hello, as you see on my signature im working on a hack named Pok�mon Darkness... I need some help! In the game you should get Marill by clicking on the Marril sprite! How do i fix that? Please! If you know how to, tell me!
If i must use scripting it would be nice if you could make the script!

Is the script inserted like this?
$14D6DF
If it is so... Please give me the right script code to put on the Marill sprite

Hmmm... Be a little more spesific...

You'll need a Hex-Editor and a table file.
You can find both on the sites mentioned in the Hacking Tools Reference.

I need to know if it is possible to port the tilesets from FireRed version onto Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald version, and if it is, how can I do so? If I am to use unLZ-GBA, can someone give me a step-by-step of how I should go about porting the tiles? Thank you!

 

[Osceola]

oh no!

thanks!

1. Is there any way to use FF's to create a new map? I mean in hex, doing it manually.
2. how can u insert a wild PKMN battle script in hex or an PKMN or item give script in hex?
3. is there a tool where you can load a map click on a person on the map and edit his script? (no i know about scripting but if there is a tool like that it would be helpful and save more time instead of inserting all these offsets) Just wondering...

EDIT

4. I opened up Firered in Unlz.gba, then i went to the hero and heroine sprites. I edited those. But when I loaded the game, the regular heros showed up again. But when I open the trainercard then my edited sprite exists.
Take a look at the attachments.

As you can see in the trainer card, the modified sprite is there. But when you select the boy and girl thing, the regular sprite is still there. How do I change that sprite?

Hail
I got 2 more problems, which are giving me an big headache, so
you see, I'm putting some new sprites in the game and the sprites after putting them in the rom the sprite comes out without some line(see in the attached files), the other thing is also about the sprites, and when I'm trying to put another sprite and I try to compress it into the rom it says "Pal to big. Do you want to expand the rom for further space?" and even if click in yes the result is the same, that is the thing all black (see also below)
Note: I'm using pokepic with this despite the fact of me using unlzgba, but in the unlz nothing is said and the pokemon pic in the hack comes out like some sort of missingno...
