I find it's really easy to make a game but I want to change my Trainer etc.

What do you mean by this?
You can use Cyclone, in conjunction with some other programs to change the intro.

If your making a fakemon hack its easy you use UNLZ.GBA you just replace azurill and auto fix pointers expot pallete and the 1rst bubble

Hail
If you are saying about put another pokemon like instead of the azurill put a nosepass lets say you should use the introed(check in the toll case for that)...
But the thing is when he realeses it the sound will be of an azurill and not the pokemon you choose=S...

[Blazichu]

I need the text block and bank for Silver Wing, which is on a signpost using Gold Map.

No, this!
The thread is nicely titled "AdvanceBattle request".
Also the post is dated March 18th, therefore not that old and easy to find.

English version, please.

There is no english version.
The german version comes with language files.

I'm new at hacking, and I have no idea where to start. I'd like to ask a few questions:

1. How should I go about posting screens, if I'm the only one working on the hack?
2. How important is it to know how to hex edit, and is it difficult?
3. What are the most popular tools for hacking Ruby? What about Sapphire? Or Emerald? FireRed/LeafGreen? I need to know!
4. Is it really hard to make a hack by yourself?
5. How do I go about getting people to help with the hack, if I can't do it by myself?
6. What is the average time to make a complete beta for a hack?

Any answers to the questions here, if you could, PM them to me.

Thanx,
Nightshroud

1. Just post them. Click on "Manage Attachments" when postinga new Reply/Thread and upload them.

2. It is important if you want to change things tools can't change for you yet. It's not difficult if you have structures to work with.

3. You can't really say that some tools are popular, because they all serve for different purposes.

4. No.

5. Ask them. Post in the Help request thread in the Hacking Groups forum for example or join a Hacking Inc.

6. You really can't say that. It all depends on how fast you work, what you want to change, etc.

Hail
Is this Script right???
Could you also give me the pallete of the professor for tpl2002??
And I wanted to know if in a script when want to input the cry command you put it this way eg.:torchic cry 118???
[[[[[ ]]]]]
Stay Sick\m/

 checkitem 0x10B
 #raw 47
 #raw D  10B
 #raw 0  10B
 #raw 1  1
 #raw 0  1

Some things are bothering me here... there is no "checkitem" command in the command reference yet.
Also, "raw" commands can only have 2 characters (Hex).
So you want to check if there's 1 10B item in your bag?
Use this instead of the above:

 #raw 47
#raw 0B
#raw 1
#raw 1
#raw 0

Why don't you have a look in the commands.html of EliteMap?
All commands and usage is explained there.

cry (30)
cry iSpecies iUnknown
Plays back the cry of the specified Pokémon. Normally used for tame Pokémon such as the movers in R/S.

Example:
cry PKMN_PIKACHU

where can you get a trainer editor that can change a trainers pokemon?

PET: Comes with EliteMap. (Hacking Tools Reference.)
TrainerBattleCustomizer XP: Hacking Tools Reference.
TrainerBattleCustomizer: Hacking Tools Reference.
AdvanceBattle: Link posted in this thread and the Main Hacking discussion.

I'm working on my 'first hack'.. sorta just a 'for fun' hack for me and my friends, but i'll probably end up posting it.

Anyway, i've been trying to figure out how to change the event where the old man gives you the TEACHY TV in Viridian so that he gives you the national dex so there isn't the whole evolution issue... any ideas?

Just remove the part where he gives you the TV (most likely a flag or Item command), and insert the setflag command of the NationalDEX for it.

how do i fix it

When inserting an Image, insert it to free space. That way your other Images won't get corrupted.
Just export the picture out of another (clean) ROM and insert it again in the ROM it got corrupted in.
Also watch the sizes of the drawn area on the Image.

oke i wanted to input this script on FR but i don't know if it's correct and what's wrong with it then...

so is it correct? cause i tried it but i get runtime error so i just wanted to know if it's because of the script or do i mis something...

On the first offset line:

 #org 0x0x74a100

Remove one 0x from the offset command.
That is your error.

I need a picture of pallet town anyone?

Open the Map in AdvanceMap and use the "Tools->Save Map picture" command.

Soz for being a noob, but is there any easy way to find unused pointers?
I can use a hex-editor, i just don't know how to use it to fin unused pointers.

All pointers to free space are unused.
Once you have found some free space, just calculate the pointer of it if you need it.

create an intro patch, like the no intro patch or the mugs patch you see on some of them

You edit your ROM, then use LIPS or anther Patching tool to create a Patch out of it (by comparing the changed and unchanged ROM).

Hi Guys!
I find it's really easy to make a game but I want to change my Trainer etc.
Can someone tell me a programm? And can someone tell me a programm - for the title screen?
Sorry but I'm new...

For the Trainer, if you mean sprite, then you can use unLZ-GBA and TLP, which come with EliteMap.
If you mean In-Battle Pokémon of a Trainer, then you can use PET, TrainerBattleCustomizer or AdvanceBattle.

For the Title screen, you can use Cyclone by Mewthree, or a Hex-Editor, together with unLZ-GBA.

Does anyone know how edit the pokemon that the prof. sends out in the intro for emerald?

Hex-Editor. The Pokémopn value bytes are set within the Intro routine. There you can change what Pokémon is sent out, and what cry is used.

Or like mxkpkmnextu?? said, you can use IntroED by Mewthree.

I need the text block and bank for Silver Wing, which is on a signpost using Gold Map.

GoldMap should show you the Bank and Block of the Text if you view the Signpost properties.

Emerald Rom Problem

Hey this just a question involving the clean english rom of Emerald. I find that when I beat the elite 4, it deletes my save file. Anybody else experience this? Is there a patch or something? This sucks because there are a lot of extras in Emerald after the Elite 4 and I really wanna finish them. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx.

Than you'll have to use it in German, or switch to a different program.

Your problem is explained in the Frequently Asked Questions thread, which is stickied at the top of this forum.

how do you guys create hacking tools?

i was wondering how you guys create your hacking tools to edit the pokemon games.

Adding Maps

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to know how to add maps in FR/Lg and connect them to existing maps in the game

Thanks in advance

 

[Aon]

Asia, there is a tutorial on doing this in the Documents and Tutorials part of the forum.

How do you use Elitemap 3.6

I'm confused with all the banks and levels and stuff......HELP please!

Your offsets are wrong. With these offsets, once one code-block has been written to the ROM, you overwrite half of it with the next code-block and so on.
That's what should be what is causing your error.

i was wondering how you guys create your hacking tools to edit the pokemon games.

Tools are developed in a programming language. (Like Visual Basic, C, C++, etc.)
If you want to create your own tool, you will have to learn one of them.

Hi everyone, I'm new here and I wanted to know how to add maps in FR/Lg and connect them to existing maps in the game

Both can be done in Advance-Map.
Since it has a nice Map-adding function, which allows you to add new Maps to games easily. (The "INS" button on the Toolbar.)
Then you can easily connect them to other Maps by using the build-in Connection Manager. (The 4-direction arrow button on the Toolbar.)

I'm confused with all the banks and levels and stuff......HELP please!

Short and (hopefully) easy summary:
Level is just another word for the Maps in the game. Each Level in a Bank has it's own Index number. (EliteMap shows them in Hex.)
Banks are, so to say, "containers" for the Levels (Maps). Again, each Bank has their own Index number in the game. (Also shown in Hex.)
The Bank and Level numbers together form a unique number, by which a Map can be identified in the game.

For example:
-Bank 00, Map 00 -> Petalburg
-Bank 00, Map 09 -> Littleroot
-Bank 01, Map 00 -> Your House
etc.

Is there a tool to edit the names of the trainers?

Hex-Editor + Table file, Advance-Text, PET.

 

[Greiv]
