    Good job :). I was pretty lazy back then and just duplicated the font functions :D.

    Seems you're quite proficient in ASM. Wonder if you use IDE?

    Thanks! Did you mean to ask if I use IDA? If so, yes. Been using it for years now, mainly with Android OS development (patching old closed-source libs to work on newer Android versions for example). This is my first time writing any substantial assembly though, just so happens that reading assembly the past few years translated well into writing it.

    In a way, ARM assembly is really not that different from programming in high-level languages like C. I just look at all the opcodes like functions, registers are variables, etc. Just takes more steps to do a particular task.

    I've also made use of the no$gba debugger, that's how I find tricks to save instructions, like r0 containing a return address and the usage of r9 to determine which code to run for the stat coloring merger.

    Sorry, I tend to ramble on and talk a lot. :p

    Yeah I meant IDA, lol. I asked, because I've got an up-to-date Emerald IDB. I know Touched has one in its signature, but it has less stuff labeled. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/mksltpeelzj1tmi/BPEE_updated2.idb?dl=0

    And yeah I use no$gba debugger too, a pretty handy tool.

    I think he wants to set a default name while skipping the intro. If you skip the intro via ASM, the default name is left as 0s aka blank.

    Setting a static name to the player


    Well, this is beyond simple, lol. I'll keep my post the same format though, because first post :3

    How to insert:

    Before you begin to insert the routine, there are a few steps. Firstly player names are limited to 8 characters with the eighth character = 0xFF.
    Convert the static name you want from ascii to hex. For OP, he wanted Jesse and James which convert into:
    C4 D9 E7 E7 D9 FF FF FF - Jesse
    C4 D5 E1 D9 E7 FF FF FF -James
    Note that if all eight bytes don't get used, you should pad them with "FF" in your hex editor.
    Now insert the 8 byte names into some free space in your ROM via hex editor and write down the pointers.

    Now copy the following routine into a text editor:
    Spoiler:


    You'll notice that I have the lines:
    Code: 
    .CustomNameBoy:
	.word 0x@pointer to boy name

.CustomNameGirl:
	.word 0x@pointer to girl name

    Change the 0x@pointer text to 0x[offset you inserted]. No need to add one.
    After you've done that compile and insert into free space.

    Usage:
    You must callasm to the routine, and depending on the Player's gender it will set their name. To have their name inserted before the player starts playing the game, create a level script which calls this routine. If you don't know how, ask in a relevant thread (not here).

    Hi, well I did exactly what you said but now my gba file just shows a blank screen when loaded into the emulator. What should I do?

    • Hey, IDK if it is possible, but could it be made so the battle text auto-advances when in battle (like Gen 4)?

    So, instead of being required to press A during certain parts (example: challenge, faint, disable, level up, etc), after 1 second, the next line will load. But you can interrupt it with A as well

    I can make it automatically skip by editing the hex, but it does it immediately.

    Pokemon Storage (outside the PC)


    Basically, in it's current state, this is effectively a storage system. It stores Pokemon and can be interacted with by the player to withdraw or deposit Pokemon. It's standalone from the PC storage system and is also much smaller (I've limited it to 6, but it can go upto 47). Some things that you will be able to do with this routine (and conjunction with some smaller ones) include:
    - Extra Pokemon storage, you can possibly get a little over 1 box worth
    - Flash back battles (complete swap between stored Pokemon and party Pokemon with capabilities to swap back)
    - Carry a party of greater than 6 Pokemon (you can use the 2nd party for HM slaves, or whatever)
    - Trade evolver guy! He will take your Pokemon and then when you come back it can be evolved! (silent evolution ftw!)
    - Separate Daycare holding larger amount of Pokemon at once

    I've tested it thoroughly and there doesn't seem to be any problems. I will be adding more and more features into this because I believe that it has the potential to become a very useful feature.
    Currently planning to add:
    - Party swap completely all in one go (this will actually be in the very near future..maybe today even :P)
    - Partial swapping (believe it or not, this is hard because there's no graphical support)
    - Suggest me more :D

    How to insert:

    Compile into free space the following routine:
    Spoiler:

    Here's a compiled version:
    Code: 
    11 B5 38 48 01 68 00 29 32 D0 37 48 01 38 01 78 06 29 65 D0 01 30 50 22 51 43 40 18 34 49 09 78 32 4A 64 23 59 43 89 18 50 22 32 4B 00 F0 59 F8 2F 49 09 78 05 29 0B D0 05 22 52 1A 64 23 5A 43 2A 48 59 43 40 18 1B 18 19 1C 2A 4B 00 F0 49 F8 29 48 00 21 64 22 29 4B 00 F0 43 F8 22 48 01 38 02 78 27 49 0B 78 01 32 02 70 01 3B 0B 70 37 E0 23 48 00 78 06 28 33 D0 1C 49 64 22 50 43 40 18 04 1C 19 4B 1A 49 09 78 50 22 51 43 C9 18 19 4B 00 F0 27 F8 20 1C 1B 4B 00 F0 23 F8 14 48 00 78 05 28 0B D0 05 22 12 1A 50 23 5A 43 0E 49 58 43 40 18 1B 18 19 1C 0F 4B 00 F0 13 F8 0A 48 C8 21 49 00 40 18 00 21 50 22 0C 4B 00 F0 0A F8 06 48 01 38 02 78 0A 49 0B 78 01 3A 02 70 01 33 0B 70 1F BD 18 47 B8 70 03 02 01 C0 03 02 84 42 02 02 C0 70 03 02 09 0B 04 08 78 44 02 02 D9 5E 1E 08 29 40 02 02 7D E4 03 08
    Usage:

    The routine itself manages party storage and storage extraction. What you need to do is determine which one it performs.
    If you want to remove a Pokemon from the party and into storage, setvar 0x8000 anything but zero
    if you want to remove a Pokemon from storage, setvar 0x8000 0x0
    Which variable you used can be changed, as always, by editing the pointer at the bottom of the routine.
    The next thing is variable 0x8004. I use this variable to determine the slot of extraction for both the Party and the Storage system.
    If I wanted to take the 3rd Pokemon in the party and put it in storage:
    setvar 0x8004 0x2
    setvar 0x8000 0x1
    callasm 0x[routine] +1

    The reason for this is to support easy use of special 0x9F. Though you can use copyvar, I suppose.

    Finally, the routine writes to RAM a counter, which keeps track of how many Pokemon are in the storage.
    This is written at 0x203C000, and can be retrieved by using the "copybyte" scripting command. For example:
    copybyte 0x20370D0 0x203C000 'puts the storage counter into variable 0x800D (lastresult).

    I tried to keep it simple, and do the work inside the routine, hopefully that paid off.
    Here's a very poor sample script. Poor because it handles all the cases, but it doesn't display the system's full potential :P

    Spoiler:

    That's it for now. Keep an eye out for "addons" for this routine in the future :)
    Sorry for the double post. I like seperate posts for my routines to keep the first post's links neat :x
    Click to expand...


    So for anyone who has used this they know that only the Pre-Compiled version works, and the routine given does not compile to match either and don't work at all for that matter.

    Also the Pre-Compiled version does work but has a bug from using Special 0x9F(Choose Pokemon from party).
    If the player says yes to storing a Pokemon then decides to either press "B" or "Cancel" then the game will jump to the overworld view, glitch out and freeze with a Black screen.

    Now I worked on this all day and was able to rebuild the Pre-Compiled routine so we could actually have the working source.

    Hope this helps anyone.
    When I get the time I will see what I can do about fixing the bug as well.


    Edit_Two:
    Found the bug!
    Special 0x9F lets you choose any Pokemon as well as Eggs.
    And,
    Special 0xBC lets you choose any Pokemon beside Eggs(used for daycare)
    When pressing B var 0x8004 is set to 0x07 so I simply added a compare to fix the script.

    I think he wants to set a default name while skipping the intro. If you skip the intro via ASM, the default name is left as 0s aka blank.

    Setting a static name to the player


    Well, this is beyond simple, lol. I'll keep my post the same format though, because first post :3

    How to insert:

    Before you begin to insert the routine, there are a few steps. Firstly player names are limited to 8 characters with the eighth character = 0xFF.
    Convert the static name you want from ascii to hex. For OP, he wanted Jesse and James which convert into:
    C4 D9 E7 E7 D9 FF FF FF - Jesse
    C4 D5 E1 D9 E7 FF FF FF -James
    Note that if all eight bytes don't get used, you should pad them with "FF" in your hex editor.
    Now insert the 8 byte names into some free space in your ROM via hex editor and write down the pointers.

    Now copy the following routine into a text editor:
    Spoiler:


    You'll notice that I have the lines:
    Code: 
    .CustomNameBoy:
	.word 0x@pointer to boy name

.CustomNameGirl:
	.word 0x@pointer to girl name

    Change the 0x@pointer text to 0x[offset you inserted]. No need to add one.
    After you've done that compile and insert into free space.

    Usage:
    You must callasm to the routine, and depending on the Player's gender it will set their name. To have their name inserted before the player starts playing the game, create a level script which calls this routine. If you don't know how, ask in a relevant thread (not here).

    It works, but the female player name becomes the same as the male.

    I've noticed significant demand for working Dawn Stone evolutions, specifically ones that require the mon to be a specific gender. My bad if this is already posted somewhere but here y'all go:

    Code:

.MethodAddr: .word 0x085B2521 #UPDATE THIS TO MAIN FUNCTION OFFSET+1

cmp r0, #0x7
beq StandardStone
cmp r0, #0x14 #UPDATE THIS
beq MaleStone
cmp r0, #0x15 #UPDATE THIS
beq FemaleStone

push {r1-r3}
mov r0, r7
mov r1, r8

cmp r0, r9
beq Finish

NoEvo:
ldr r2, .NoEvoReturn
bx r2

DetermineGender:
ldr r2, .DetermineGenderFunc
bx r2

Finish:

bx r2

.NoEvoReturn: .word 0x08043199
.EvoReturn: .word 0x0804317d
.DetermineGenderFunc: .word 0x0803f78d
    Change the values in the lines marked UPDATE THIS to the indexes of male stone evos and female stone evos. Leave their entries blank in the general evolution table; stone evolutions function differently from level-up evolutions.

    the value of "indexes of male stone" is the item value ?

    will have two dawn stone, one work in male and one work in female, it is correct ?

    i not understand it well

    the indexes are your Evolution indexes, one for male stone evo and one for female stone evo, the item index will only be chosen on your editor (G3HS, G3T...)

    So apparently TID isn't set if you skip the intro, and I'm sure SID is probably also not set. The following routine will randomize them for you!


    To insert:

    There's some orange text here, set it to be the pointer to where you inserted the random number generator routine +1 (keep the 0x8 prefix, but don't reverse the pointer).

    After you've fixed the pointer, compile and insert into free space.

    • [FR] Complimentary Premier Ball for purchases of over 9 Poké Balls


    Ever since RSE, the Poké Mart clerk has thrown in a bonus Premier Ball when the player purchases at least 10 Poké Balls. This feature was absent from FireRed, however, presumably for accuracy reasons for the remake factor of the game. To implement this feature, simply assemble the following routine and place a pointer (+1) at x9BF64.

    Code: 
    .thumb @ pointer+1 at 0809BF64

main:
    push {r4,r5,lr}
    lsl r0, r0, #0x18
    lsr r4, r0, #0x18    
    lsl r0, r4, #2
    add r0, r0, r4
    lsl r0, r0, #3
    ldr r1, =(0x03005098) @ tasks.args
    add r5, r0, r1
    ldr r0, =(0x030030F0) @ super
    ldrh r1, [r0, #0x2E]
    mov r0, #0x3
    and r0, r1
    cmp r0, #0
    beq end
    
continue:
    mov r0, #5
    ldr r3, =(0x080722CC|1) @ audio_play
    bl call_via_r3
    mov r1, #0xA
    ldrh r0, [r5, r1]
    cmp r0, #0x4 @ Poké Ball item ID
    bne no_premier_ball
    mov r1, #2
    ldrh r0, [r5, r1]
    cmp r0, #0x9 @ Maximum quantity of Poké Balls to not qualify for a Premier Ball
    ble no_premier_ball
    mov r0, #0xC @ Premier Ball item ID
    mov r1, #1 @ Quantity to give
    ldr r3, =(0x0809A084|1) @ bag_add_item
    bl call_via_r3
    lsl r0, r0, #0x18
    lsr r0, r0, #0x18
    cmp r0, #1
    bne no_premier_ball
    ldr r1, =(0x08XXXXXX) @ Address of string: "I'll throw in a PREMIER BALL, too.[FC][09]"
    ldr r2, =(0x0809BF98|1)
    mov r0, r4
    ldr r3, =(0x0813F75C|1)
    bl call_via_r3
    b end
  
no_premier_ball:
    mov r0, r4
    ldr r3, =(0x0809BF98|1)
    bl call_via_r3
    
end:
    pop {r4,r5}
    pop {r0}
    bx r0
    
call_via_r3:
    bx r3

    The routine specifies an address for the string "I'll throw in a PREMIER BALL, too." as 0x08XXXXXX. Replace this with the address at which you insert the following bytes:
    Code: 
    C3 B4 E0 E0 00 E8 DC E6 E3 EB 00 DD E2 00 D5 00 CA CC BF C7 C3 BF CC 00 BC BB C6 C6 B8 00 E8 E3 E3 AD FC 09 FF

    The same string, but with "PREMIER BALL" in title case (i.e. "Premier Ball"), has the following bytes:
    Code: 
    C3 B4 E0 E0 00 E8 DC E6 E3 EB 00 DD E2 00 D5 00 CA E6 D9 E1 DD D9 E6 00 BC D5 E0 E0 B8 00 E8 E3 E3 AD FC 09 FF

    As always with strings, it's recommended you place a byte after the FF delimiter at the end of the string to prevent tools which read FF bytes as free space from overwriting the string's delimiter and making the string bug.

    Usage:

    setvar 0x8001 0x0
    callasm 0x[this routine +1]
    setvar 0x8001 0x2
    callasm 0x[this routine +1]

    Call it twice like I have, setting var 0x8001 to 0x0 and 0x2 respectively, it will generate a random PID and SID.
    Click to expand...

    Can anyone confirm that this routine works? My game freezes when using this routine. His random number routine has been inserted. I changed the highlighted orange text from
    Code: 
    .word 0x8[random]
    to
    Code: 
    .word 0x8800001

    • Eh, this routine is around the time when I first started. I'm currently very rusty on ASM and haven't tested the fix. Please try this:

    Spoiler:


    Untested, and may not compile as is. Post updates here please.

    Adjusting Shiny encounter chance


    Pre-requisites:
    - Shiny Pokemon Generator
    - Random Number Generator


    How to insert:

    Before compiling the routine look at the last line. There is a .word 0x8[RANDOM +1]. Change the content after the 0x8 to be a pointer to where you inserted RANDOM +1.

    Once you've done that, look for the line that says "mov r0, #0x1 @item ID". Change 0x1 to the Item ID for your Shiny charm item. If you don't have one implemented, delete these lines:
    Code: 
    	mov r0, #0x1 @item ID
	mov r1, #0x1
	ldr r2, =(0x8099F40 +1)
	bl linker
	cmp r0, #0x0
	beq normal
	mov r0, #0xA
	lsl r0, r0, #0x7
	add r0, r0, #0x55 @1/1365 chance with shiny charm
	b calcChance

    After you've done that, compile and insert the following routine into free space:

    Spoiler:


    Now navigate to 0x3DACE and insert the following byte changes:
    Code: 
    00 00 00 4F 38 47 XX XX XX 08
    Where XX XX XX is the reverse hex pointer +1 to where you inserted this routine.


    Usage:

    It's Automagic, also happens to give the shiny chance to Pokemon in wild, trainer Pokemon, given Pokemon ect.

    Right now encounter chance is 1/4096 without shiny charm, and 1/1356 with it.
    Click to expand...

    There is a way to make it work only with wild and breeding and to make the shiny chance 1/2048?
