[R/S/E/FR/LG] Can someone explain the Flag System?

I have been a member at this community for a long time now and I have rarely asked any questions but now I have one!!!
I am mainly a G/S hacker and recently I have branched into R/S/E/FR/LG hacking (You may have noticed my Gold Remake hack ;) ) But now that I am starting to script certain events I notice that rubikon requires flags for some elements of the script. Can someone explain what flags are and how they are calculated? And perhaps explain how to use them to make pokemon overworlds disappear after fighting them (e.g Moltres in FR) and making events such as triggers cancel out after the script has executed?

Many Thanks,
Amnesia

 

[Shaneypoo17]

well... when you use a setflag command, it sets a flag (obviously xD), and when you use a checkflag command it checks for a certain flag and whether its been set or not... and executes a different action depending on whether its set or not... to make moltres disappear after you battle him, after the battle code, just put like setflag 0x8F1 and put 08F1 in advance map...

Does anyone know how to change the capabilities of an item. You will probably say "ASM Hacking!" - which is fine, but please tell me how to do it or help understand the basics, etc. What I want to do is take an item like soft sand and change it's name (easy) but then I want to change t so it is capable of evolving a pokemon (like a fire stone for example). Can this be done?

You could try copying the Item ata of Firestone and replace Soft-Sand's with it.
Then just change the name. That would be the easiest way.

can anyone give me a link to a list of attacks in hex (for fire red)... i need them to change gym leader's pokemon.

Does anyone know how to script/create timed events?

ie. When it's 6:00 in the internal clock a certain event is activated.

Thanks in advance ;D

If you know what Variable the time is stored, then it would be possible by comparing it to a value, and if it's true, the Event will be executed.

FR Questions

1. when i open pet, i can't seem to find BIKE GOON. I want to edit the levels of his poke.

2. How can i edit the levels of the PKMN that Oak gives you and Gary? You originally start at lvl. 5, I want to turn that to 25. How can i change it?

3. When I open the Title Screen "Charizard, no matter how many times i press + and - charizard is all split up in different pieces.

4. I see what you mean in a way but not.
Item Script
[1A0080][item No][1A0180][amount][090102]
Give Pokémon Script:
[79][Pokémon Number][Level][Item][0000000000000000]
Wild Battle Script:
[B6][Pokémon Number][Level][00254301]

The item no., poke no, I get and the amount, level too, but what I don't get is what [00254301], [B6],0000000000000000, and the rest of the big numbers. What are those representing? Do I need to change them or do I leave them alone? I'm confused! *Pained Smile*

5. The pallete for the boy and girl in FR, is all messed up. It doesn't look at all like how it does when I go through the Oak intro and you select boy and girl. What is the pallete offset?

6. what are flags that haven't been used yet?

1. His number is 20F. YOu can easily find Trainers by the internal search function of PET.

2. http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=61529

3. Your point is? Make a RAW dump, open it in Tile-Molester and adjust the view so you can edit it.
Alternatively, you could use Mewthree's or Shaneypoo17's tutorials for titlescreen editing using Cyclone as a help.

(Though they're for R/S/E, they should work for FR/LG too.)

4. You just change the things that have a name, like "Item no.", the rest has to be inserted as is.

does anyone know how to rearrange the tile's in FR title screen you know move the charizard ?

oh and also using hex how do you change the map titles like say pallet town to whatever?

any help would be cool thanks!

If you mean editing the title screen, these Tutorials might help you.

You don't really want to edit maps with a Hex-Editor, trust me.
Advance-Map and Elite-Map are doing a good job helping you on that.

1. can you somehow enter more overworld characters in ruby (it would really help me but i already know if it is possible it is with hex :( but still i know it then :))

If they are stored within a pointer table to the sprites, than yes.
You could just add a new pointer for your new Overworld. (You might need to repoint the list if there is no space left.)

Thanks for the script scizz, but it's still not doing it right when i plug in the info.
Could you please make me a script that checks to see if you have 1 pokeball in your bag? Please? I would appreciate it a whole lot!
Thanks in advanced

This should work.

ok a simple question... when I open the dexter tool it says:

"ROM supported, but Pokedex base is unspecified."

How do I make the Pokedex base specified?

You open a supported rom in your Hex-Editor, copy a few bytes from the offset, search those bytes in your unsupported ROM, and when you find them, you write down the offset in your Pokeroms.ini file.

how do i make the hacks i downloaded work?

Point: How to apply an IPS-Patch

I need to know how to change the characters in the part where you tell oak your name in fire red, you know, your character, your rival, and oaks picture. I just need to know what tool to use and where to get it. Thanks in advance

As they are uncompressed, you need Tile Layer Pro, or Tile-Molester. (Any other Tile editor will work too.)
You can find links to them here.

How do I insert script? I can't find Diamond Cutter
anywhere.

You don't need Diamond Cutter. Insert your script in ScriptED's textbox, click on "Compile", select your ROM (make sure the path is free of spaces) and you're done.

This post might help you.
You can not calculate Flags.
They are unique identifiers in the game.

To de/activate triggers, you need to re-set their attribute.
Let's say a trigger has "4060" as the "Check" attribute in Elitemap, then you can change that attribute with the setvar command.
Example:

setvar 0x4060 0x3

That will deactivate a trigger.

 

[amnesiahacker]

Thanks Scizz I owe you one!

 

[Spazzup]

If you know what Variable the time is stored, then it would be possible by comparing it to a value, and if it's true, the Event will be executed.

Thanks. ^-^

Don't know how I'd go about finding the variable though :P

 

[Steve Z]

ok now it says "supported rom,but font graphics offset unspecified"
how do i specify it

 

[Hiidoran]

Umm....thats the same thing, I don't know how to plug pokeball into that script, I was actually hoping someone would give me the script with everything ready to go. You know, ready to be used in script ed or diamond cutter.

 

[Pazuzu]

ok now it says "supported rom,but font graphics offset unspecified"

...open a supported rom in your Hex-Editor, go to the supported offset, copy a few bytes, search them in the unsupported rom, write down the offset you find them at into the Pokeroms.ini, done.

Umm....thats the same thing, I don't know how to plug pokeball into that script, I was actually hoping someone would give me the script with everything ready to go. You know, ready to be used in script ed or diamond cutter.

The script is ready to go!
Just compile it with ScriptED or Diamond Cutter, add the script offset to an event and you're done.
You have to insert the item and amount at where I added the notes!
I changed it for you in the above script already, so if you want any changes, like Item or quantity, just modify the values.

 

[Steve Z]

thanx im good on that but now when i use advance text i freezez after i make new text and it messes my rom up when it gets to the part i tried to edit

1) How can i open the rooms on Map editor, Advance-Mart and stuff???
2) Where can i download pokemon ROMS???

Thanks scizz, I'm sorry I was acting like a N00b. It's working now and I sure do appreciate this!
