[Script] Enable National Dex in PokeRuby, PokeFireRed & PokeEmerald when you first receive the normal PokeDex

[NitroHedgehog]

As the title says, I need help to activate the National Dex as soon as you receive the regular PokeDex in all Gen III dissassemblies. Here are the problems that I am facing;

PokeRuby - SPECIAL_EnableNationalPokedex doesn't seem to exist in PokeRuby, as they say the event is ''undefined''. I dunno what to do with that...
PokeFireRed - Build properly, get a silent white freezing screen when loading the ROM
PokeEmerald - Same as PokeFireRed, blank screen, game won't load.

I could not find any decomp tutorials to enable the National Dex, only hex ones (and I don't use hex for my projects.) Here are my scripts that I use.

Are you playing on an emulator? Which one?
If you're using VBA, you need to set the Save Type to Flash 128K by going to Options -> Emulator -> Save Type.
By default, VBA uses Flash 64K, which is not compatible with neither Pokémon FireRed nor Emerald.

Also yeah, Pokeruby doesn't have a preset scripting special to unlock the National Dex.
However, the exact same function of code that is used to enable it in an overworld script normally in FRLG and Emerald is present in Pokeruby.
In other words, you just have to define EnableNationalPokedex in data/specials.inc just like the rest of the specials, and then you'll be able to use it normally in your scripts.

As the title says, I need help to activate the National Dex as soon as you receive the regular PokeDex in all Gen III dissassemblies. Here are the problems that I am facing;

I don't know if you've solved this already but I just wanted to drop in my 2 cents.

So depending on what your actual goal is there's a couple different ways you can go about this.

For my stuff all I cared about was removing the non-region evolution block, that's as simple as finding and changing that part of the function for the dex within the code. So you don't even need to script for that.

Also you code possibly delete the regional dex and have it just give the national dex, (I haven't learned scripting yet, so I don't know if that would cause problems if script specifically refers to the other dex name/ID) .

Alternately you can swap the code for the regional dex out for the code for the national dex, so when you get the first dex you'd actually activate the other one.

Don't know if I was saying this to you before or someone else, but there's a LOT of options for solving problems with romhacks.
And that's what I really love about it most. :)
