[Script] [Emerald] New Abilites using the resource ability thread.

[LvChubi]

So I just picked up ROM hacking literally 3 days ago I just wanted to Learn the basics and do things one at a time, but already 3 steps in to what I "planned" I have bitten off more than I can chew and am struggling a bit. 😅

So long story short, I want to add new abilities. I started with Tangled Feet, got the script. compiled it, and now I'm confused on the next step. I know it literally says in the script to "Insert 00 49 08 47 xx xx xx 08 at 080468EC" but I am a little confused about the XX XX XX, I understand that is my "offset+1" but I don't fully understand what that means as well as WHERE I place this in my ROM.

I earnestly feel as tough I'm either missing something that is probably very basic that I somehow glanced over, or if I just misunderstood what I read...

Any help would be appreciated, thankyou for your consideration! 😊

*Please don't just tell me to "hack FR instead", I chose Emerald for personal reasons after researching that Fire Red was more researched. Also I don't want to use other ROMs as bases because most of them utilize the PSS patch and I like the old special-typing system. I apologize if that sounds pretentious, but this is a personal project for personal people.*

I second this thread! A simplified flowchart of essential steps and tools involved in the overall process would be very much appreciated as well.

It's simply telling you too insert "00 49 08 47 [Your pointer, denoted as XX XX XX]" at the offset "0x468EC". Meaning if I put the code at "0x800000", I would put "00 49 08 47 01 00 80 08" at "0x468EC".
