Thanks, that does help... but one more thing. Is there anyway to locate scripts within the hex?

Yes. By going through the bytes with a scripting documentation by your side and looking for the commands and values mentioned there. Of course that is only possible if you already have the offset of a script, because else it would be pretty difficult - impossible to find them.

G/S Hacking Questions:

1. How do I change the player sprite?
2. How do I put my custom overworld sprite in the game?
3. How do I put my in-game battle sprite in the game?
4. What tool do I use to edit the person in the opening? (The whole Pokemon opening where you enter your name etc.)
5. When I open Trianer battle cutomizer, i get an error as soon as it loads. What's wrong here?
6. When I use PokeText to edit text, it doesn't end up in the rom.

1. AgiXP, Mewoth's GFX inserter, Image editing program.
2. Tile Layer Pro
3. AgiXP/Meowth's GFX inserter
4. AgiXP/Meowth's GFX inserter, Image editor, Hex-Editor
5. If you don't tell us the error you get, we can't help you.
6. PokeTEXT is not reccomended, because there are several bugs in it. You should use a Hex-Editor + Table file or Thingy32 + Table file, as they're a lot more efficient.

Well sweetie, to locate scripts within hexidecimal, you need to know how they're structured.
Okie, let's start with the give item script.

Give Item:
9DXXZZ
9D - Give Item
XX - Item (a list is show below)
ZZ - Quantity(in hex)

1 and 3 and 4. Use Agixp
2. Use any tile editor such as TLP or Tile Molestor and go to offset C0000.
5. I'm sorry, can't help you there since it doesn't work for me either. Try editing the trainers with a hexeditor.
6. Did you save? Click the save box once you edited it. Then go to file/save after that to save the changes to the ROM, sweetie.

Fatal Glitch!

ROM: Pokémon LeafGreen

I edited maps, wild Pokémon, sprites, weather, and Trainer posisitions.

Anyway, the problem has to do with one of the Bug Catchers in Viridian Forest. I put three of them into a formation similar to Nuggest Bridge.

After you battle the second Bug Catcher, the controls get messed up. You take over the third Bug Catcher. Cool? No. You can only move only so far. The Start Menu is to accessable, but that's it.

Does anyone have any idea what went wrong? Can this be fixed? If it can, but you require the hack to do it, I will give it to you via PM.

How do you go about editing the title screen of a ROM?

Thanks,
HRBEK.

Depends sweetie, what ROM you're talking about?

Simple Question 2

This is my question, i search before but no result at all.

1) After i editing trainers name and pokemon, i cant edit the attack of those pokemon...Why?

LASTRESULT Overflow :\

I've made a script, for night&day in Ruby

    #org 0x0001
    checkflag 0x10A
    if LASTRESULT B_TRUE
    goto 0x0002
    if LASTRESULT B_FALSE
    goto 0x0003
    end

    #org 0x00003 'giorno
    setweather 0x0 'light
    nop
    doweather
    nop
    pause 0x28
    goto 0x00002
    end

    #org 0x00002 'notte
    setflag 0x10A
    setweather 0xB 'dark
    nop
    doweather
    nop
    clearflag
    pause 0x28
    goto 0x0003
    end

When i try to compile it, it gives me "Overflow". If I remove LASTRESULT, the Overflow go to hell. What do i have to do?


P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.

 

[Pazuzu]

First I don't know if this is allowed but can I atleast get one quiestion answered then you can close this

In Elitemap, under the toolbelt, everything (except the ScriptEd) is the non-clickable faded grey color how do i make them work so I can use them?

The programs have to be in the same folder as your EliteMap.exe.
If they're not, the Menu entries will be disabled.
You can start all of the programs manually by double-clicking on them, if they are still disabled after you have put them in the folder.

This is my question, i search before but no result at all.

1) After i editing trainers name and pokemon, i cant edit the attack of those pokemon...Why?

Because the Pokémon you have edited probably didn't have attacks set before, so logically they won't have them set either if you edited the Pokémon.

P.S. Sorry for my bad english, i'm italian.

You get that error, because the if-case is not used the way you used it.
The first block of your script has to look like this:

#org 0x0001
checkflag 0x10A
if 1 jump 0x0002
if 0 jump 0x0003
end

Almost whenver I'm impoting pictures I've edited to unLZ, it changes the pictures' palettes. And I'm using the same palette and colors which are given by "saving as.." in unLZ.
Why does it happen?
(Ruby US)

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean by The program shave?

Thanks in advance!

If you are using the same palette as before, just uncheck the "Export palette" box when saving your image to the ROM.
That should fix it.

*The programs have
Simply a typo.

Who make movement script?

If click the pokeball, two man goes left! I'am dont know the script!

 

[HRBEK]

Hmmm

Whenever I go to the Pok'edex and bring up a Pok'emon's data,
for some reason when I press 'A' (Next Data Button), the game
restarts automatically. What could be causing this problem, and
is there a way to fix it?

I also wanted to ask how you use that unLZ.GBA program...?

Thanks,
HRBEK.

 

[Pazuzu]

Who make movement script?

If click the pokeball, two man goes left! I'am dont know the script!

An example script could look like this:

#org 0x800000
lock
applymovement 0x[first person's event index] 0x800100
applymovement 0x[second person's event index] 0x800100
pause 0x2
release
end

#org 0x800100
#raw A 'Left2
#raw FE 'Exit

I haven't tested it, but it should work when you insert it.
Just replace the [1st/2nd] with the Event Index values of the 2 People Events.
For example, if your 1st People Event has the Index 3, the command would look like this:

applymovement 0x3 0x800100

Whenever I go to the Pok'edex and bring up a Pok'emon's data,
for some reason when I press 'A' (Next Data Button), the game
restarts automatically. What could be causing this problem, and
is there a way to fix it?

I also wanted to ask how you use that unLZ.GBA program...?

Thanks,
HRBEK.

Have you edited anything in the PokéDEX data?
If so, you have probably corrupted something while doing it.
The easiest way would be to go back to your backup copy of your game, and redo the changes you made.

How to use unLZ-GBA is explained in this tutorial.

 

[HRBEK]

Hmmm

Thanks mate, I'll gave that tutorial a read. I wish to edit the Title Screen. Is it possible to do that with unLZ.GBA? If so, how do you locate the Title Screen image?

As for the Pok'edex data, I have not edited any of the Pok'edex's Pok'emon definitions, but I have altered some of the Pok'emon's names. For example; Spearow = Queerow.

ps. You probably don't want to know what my hack is about, lol.

Thanks,
HRBEK.

Title Screen editing tutorials can be found on the following links.
How to do it and what you need is explained pretty well in them.

https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=60373
https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=60257

You have probably corrupted some data while you were changing the names. As I said before, you should go back to your backup copy, as it is easier and faster than trying to locate and fix the error.

wath is type of offsets of the maps, map headers and map labels in Elitmap (Hex or Dec )
and how to change behaviors in emerald, (the behaviors don'ts work in advance map)

EliteMap uses Hexadecimal to display the offsets.

The behaviour data of Emerald can be edited just fine with AdvanceMap.
Make sure that you have downloaded the latest version from the official release thread.

 

[w_rink_ly]

Hi I was wondering whether it is possible to edit the foorprints of pokemon which you see in the pokedex. If so, how? Also, does anyone know how to change the cry of the Azurill you see in the introduction of the game? If someone knows the offset in hex that would also be helpful.

 

[riothemaster]

I need serious help

how do i edit the starters in pokemon firered europe(v1.1) rom with a hex editor and add it to the rom

 

[tog5632]

First off, the mods (and everyone else included) don't like multiple posts. Seondly, there is a tool listed in the Tool Showcase sticky called Poketronic that comes with a FR & LG starter Pokemon editor. Good luck!
