[mxkpkmnextu??]

I have another question about the same thing.

Can you even CHANGE the abilities, like OWN TEMPO, PREVENTS CONFUSION. Just like make that this abilitie.... ''destroys the oppenet when you attack?"

Hail
You can't do that you can only change for the predifined effects... You can change the ability with base edit, pokemon amp can't do that, I think=S

Ok, I am hacking Emerald and Making a Crystal Remake And I was wondering if it was possible, and how to do the following....

1. Set The Clock in the beggining

2. have timed scripts so that at 6:00 it gets dark...etc

3. insert cell phone/pokegear/radio feature

4. I Have The Newest Version Of RS Ball and it suports Emerald, but When I try to load the trainer back sprites it says that they are not specified in the .ini.....How to I fix this?

5. also, I Changed the starting point to the room.....So now how do I remove The rumbling in the begining of the game?

6. How do I make it so that I can use Fire Red tile sets in emerald?

Sorry for reposting this, but I realy need these questions answered....

 

[The Dash]

2 and 3 are almost imposible to do.

 

[Aon]

You will need to be an expert hacker to do most of this.

5. also, I Changed the starting point to the room.....So now how do I remove The rumbling in the begining of the game?

That I would also be interested in knowing.[/

 

[xMeteorxStriker]

3 is possible but you would have to know bunches of coding all you would need to do is make it where when you walk to a certain place you would get a phone call

Gold/Silver how to make someone give u a pokemon

I've been playing around trying to get some people to give you a Pokemon, but everytime, it mucks up.

Successfully, I have only been able to make the code work once, and that is With RED in Mt Silver, where the game ends after he gives u the Poke and u restart outside the Cave with the Pokemon in tow.

So does anyone know how to successfully make trainers or people give you a Pokemon. I know the string for it, but when I use it on some people, for instance Mr Psychic, he will keep on giving you that Pokemon everytime you talk to him. How can this be changed so he just gives it the once, then the next time you talk to him, he says something else?

The other problems I'm having is with making a trainer give you a pokemon after you win a battle. I've been able to get it to partially work with Clair at the Dragon's Den, but once you get the Pokemon, her speech messes up before she disappears.

I've tried getting Falkner to give you a Pokemon at Violet Gym, but the other trainers mess up when u talk to them, and Falkner's text gets all messed up after he gives u the pokemon.

Anyone know how to make it successfully work? Many thanks in advance

 

[xMeteorxStriker]

im not sure but i think it has to do with checkflag set flag i know this probably didnt help but there u r lol

 

[goldenslider]

I have scripts for making people give pokemon in the advance games, but I'm still concentrating on hacking Gold and silver.

I do fancy moving onto the advance games, but I still want to learn more about the old games first.

Anyone who can help with my problem above, I'd be indebted forever.

To give an offer in return, heres a small tutorial (my first in nearly a year and a half) for how to make Red give you a pokemon:

the pointers for the text Red says after you win are at 11C278 and 79. after these, type in the following string at offset 11C27A:

84 02 00 85 2D XX XX XX 00 33 61 00 4C
| | |
| | item
| level
pokemon

Does anyone know eiher if here is a tool which can edit the way pokemon evolve in emerald, or how I could edit this in hex?

 

[Christos]

There isn't something like that in emerald (still waiting..) and I don't know how to do it in hex.Can anyone please tell us?

Hail
First of all I think use AM rather than Elitmap, elitemap is good but am gives more options and things to do...
I'm AM when you change the blocks when you want tp put some heights in some tiles(like the one you shown in the screenies) u have to use, for example, the 10 that gives the height of your tile 2 than 14 which gives 3... Just try it out...
if you want to have a passage of a c to a 10 or a 10 to 14,ect.. you have to use 0 blocks so that can be possible(commonly they're used in stairs)...
Hope it helped

Problem inserting scripts >D

I have finally managed to create a rather simple script that should work, but now I can't insert it >D When I try compiling the file, it comes up with

I have downloaded the needed files zip from Pokedrome, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem.

 

[Pazuzu]

Sorry to keep bugging you but, now the game freezes up when I talk to the person.
Also, when I start the game the screen stays white and I have to load my save from the menu.

Then you have probably overwritten some important data of the game.
Verify that the offsets you insert your script to are surely free of data.

Now, this may belong in simple q's, but it seemed more appropriate here.

I think this is cos of a Truck level scrpt. I edited the starting map using introED.
(Trainers room)

This is part of my edited Back of truck map. I cannot explain the glitch, but thats why i'm asking isn't it?

Does anyone have any info on why either of these may have ocured.

Those actions are determined in the level script of the truck map and the intro routine.
Since we're not quite able to edit the intro routine yet, and the changed in the level script seems to have no effect, the best things you can do, would be to block the view to that area.

Anyone please tell:

How can i fix this in unLZ GBA, I have opened Pokémon Emerald:

You have to adjust the Pallete.
In Emerald, there are 2 kind of Pokémon Pictures. The normal ones, and the animated ones.
Just copy the Pallete number of Alakazam from the non animated ones and type it in for your picture above, that will fix it.

Everytime I edit a map in either EliteMap or AdvanceMap, the ROM fails to load in VisualBoyAdvance.
What am I doing wrong?

For EliteMap: Make sure your ROM is a 1.0 dump version, and that offsets are available in the INI file.

For AdvanceMap: Make sure that the offsets for the ROM you wanted to load are available in the INI file.

I have a question. For G/S.

Is there a way to change the types of tiles? i.e changing a wall tile into a door tile.

You should be able to change that either in the Tile behaviour, or the Block data.
I'll see if I can get a structure of the data for G/S/C.

i downloaded pokemon emerald but its only up to the league it can't go no further, can anyone help me out with where i can download the complete version , the other problem i am gettin is that the one i download has no time its saying the internal battery has run dry plss help me out

The stickied "Frequently Asked Questions" thread contains a nicely explained answer to your questions.

How do you figure out a new room's offset value?

The new rooms I made and linked together with the main map work, but it's just a black screen when I enter them. I was told it had something to do with the offset value.

Could you elaborate on that?
What do you mean by "offset value"?

If you want to connect Maps, you can do it easily with Advance-Map's Connection-Manager.
There you have to enter the Map Bank and Map Number of the Map you want to connect to your current one, together with the side it should appear on.
Also, if your maps are different sizes, you can adjust their placement by changing the value in the "Adjustment" box. (Could that be what you mean?)
Normal values will move the Map Up/Right by the value, and negative values will move the Map Down/Left by the value.

Hey can some one help me out. I'm trying to recreate the sproute tower from gold in my new hack i'm working on and i tried putting pokemon in the tower but they dont pop up at all. The tower im using is a building from rustboro city. Also i edited the tiles that you walk on so i don't know if its because of that or what but even when i put the tile behavior to grass animation(pokemon) but still no pokemon are coming out. So can anyone help me out? Here's a pic from the tower:

There seems to be aproblem with Advance-Maps block editor right now, as it doesn't seem to get/save the Behaviour values correctly.

You can either wait for the fixed version to come out, or adjust the data yourself by using a Hex-Editor.

Could anybody explain the process of importing/replacing tilesets? In advance map 1.8 I was able to extract tilesets from the block editor, however I was unable to import them back into the tileset (the load tileset option was grayed out).

Also is it possible to alter the palette for tilesets? I've already looked at the palette offsets in VBA, but I could not match them up in unLz or advance map 1.8. I'm really lost about modifying the palettes...and their locations.

Lastly, is there a way to edit the tilsets by use of unLZ? I think I found part of one tileset around id 6-7, but I could not find the appriate palette. So in reality I have no idea what it was.

I'm very familiar with replacing pokemon and trainer graphics (sig has some examples). I'm able to also edit pokemon palettes as well...but these tilesets are giving me alot of trouble.

Thank you whoever can answer these question ^-^

*I've done a complete search of this thread also, checking all tileset related posts, the few answers I found were abit too cryptic for me

To be able to import Tileset data back into the ROM, make sure you have the latest AdvanceMap version. (1.81)
The import option should be active there, so you should have no trouble importing your Tileset data back.

Yes, it is possible to alter a Tileset's Palletes.
You can do it just like you do for every other Pallete in the game, by using VBA to get the values, and a Hex-Editor to find and edit them.
AdvanceMap can't edit a Tileset's Pallete (It only can set the Pallate of a block to a predefined one) and unLZ-GBA is not a good idea to be used for that.

There are 2 kinds of Tilesets.
Uncompressed Tilesets: You can't view those in unLZ-GBA, as they are not compressed, and therefore won't be found by it. You can edit them with TLP, Tile Molester or any other Tile editing program.



Compressed Tilesets: Those are the ones which are found by unLZ-GBA. There are 2 ways you can edit them.

1: Export the Tileset as picture and edit it with an Imaging program.
2: Export the Tileset as RAW dump and edit it with a Tile editing program just like an uncompressed one.


​

The Pallete's from unLZ-GBA never apply to a whole Tileset, they just apply to certain blocks of it.
So if you want to edit a specific block, you just have to find the right Pallete for that block.

How does the multi command (in scriptEd) work?

multi (6F)
multi bLeft bTop bList bCancel
Puts up a list of choices for the player to make. Available choices depend on the value of bList. bCancel determines wether the player can press the B button to select the last item, if yes the last item should be "Cancel". As always, the player's choice is stored in LASTRESULT.

Example:
message 0x604020 '"What city do you like best?"
choice 2 2 13 0 'items available are littleroot, slateport and lilycove
compare LASTRESULT 1
if 0 0x600030 'goto littleroot handler
if 1 0x600050 'goto slateport handler
'lilycove handler starts right here, no "if LASTRESULT 3" needed.

Can anyone tell me a good stats editor like PA for emerald and link and Pokemon Name Editor for emerald?

If PA does not support Emerald, then there is no other program to edit the Stats yet. (You can use a Hex-Editor, though.)
A great Name editor is a Hex-Editor, together with a Table file.
Alteratively, you can use N-E-A, which you will find at the Tools-Showcase.

Thanks!
How Do I repoint it:P

Simply calculate the pointer of the original offset and the new offset.
Then just search for the old pointer in your Hex-Editor and replace it with the new one.
(A-Point can be found in the Tools Showcase, also it offsers Pointer calculation for the Metall and Advance game generations.)

Hey, im trying to do a new hack, and i know exactly how to do it but i just CANT!!!

This is because,
1) when i hold control and click something with elitemap, SCRIPTS DONT SHOW UP!! any suggestions

2) Alot of the tools i download keep saying damaged or wen i unzip, theres nothing there, or missing folders

3) any hex program i try running (hexposure, transhexlation, etc) just dont work, and it says 'There has ben an error and microsoft must close 'program name'' everytime i open the rom

Is there special files i need to view these? any suggestions?

please help, and ill put ur name on the hack too!

1) Does ScriptED open when you click on them?
The best thing to do would be redownloading of the package to make sure you got all the needed files.

2) There is nothing you can do about that, except searching for mirrors of those Tools. (See the Hacking Tools Reference in the Tools Showcase for example.)

3) Hexpospure is a DOS program, and won't run properly on Windows XP.
Translhextion should work, but if it doesn't open files correctly, then there has to be an error in the program.
However, there are many alternatives, so you shouldn't have any difficulties to find one.
(Nextsoft Hex-Editor for example.)

how i can change the Venusaur picture in titlescreen of pokemon leaf green??

You can change it with unLZ-GBA.

Does anyone know eiher if here is a tool which can edit the way pokemon evolve in emerald, or how I could edit this in hex?

The structure in Hex in build up like the following:

[Evolution type byte][Special byte][Pokémon byte]

The Evolution type byte can have the following values:

0100 -> Happyness evolution
0200 -> Day evolution
0300 -> Night evolution
0400 -> Level evolution
0500 -> Trading evolution
0600 -> Trading evolution with Item
0700 -> Item evolution
0800 -> Stats evolution: Attack > Defense
0900 -> Stats evolution: Attack = Defense
0A00 -> Stats evolution: Attack < Defense


​

The Special byte depends on the Evolution type byte, and is either the Level the evolution starts at, the Item,... or 0000.

Open the ROM in TLP, set it to 8bpp mode, and scroll down until you reach the Font data.
Then you open up Notepad and start wriing down the Hex-Values and their corresponding characters in the oder they appear in TLP.

It's been a long time since I hacked R/B, but the values should start at 80.


So if the first letter in TLP is an A, your table should look like this:

80=A
81=B
...
