    HELLO EVERYBODY!!!!!

    I'm not sure if this should go here...I don't know where to put it (or how to move it, lol).

    Anyhoo, I've made a FireRed patch for beginners who want some extra overworld sprites for their hack.

    A big thank goes to mozzer0734 for writing a tutorial on this for me and helping me through it step by step.
    I'm still a bit sketchy on this, but it works :) took me nearly 6 hours as it decided not to work and took me a while to figure out why. Got it in the end though.

    But yeah, download the attached .zip file and view the readme.txt for info on how to edit the sprites via hex.

    For some reason, it doesn't want to work in OverworldEditor RE. Download the normal OverworldEditor for this to work.

    NOTE: The rom for Pokemon FireRed is not included.

    This actually goes to the Resources thread. BUt, thanks a lot! this actually helped me.
    Thanks.
     
    I probably sound like a complete moron right now, but this is 40+ in addition to what OW sprites are already in the fire red roms?

    Because if so, I seriously need this.

    FfffHi i can't read apparently.

    Awesome! I needed this. :D
     
    w00p! i'm glad its helped people already. As I said, I have no idea where this should have gone, lol. Dunno how to move it (I like things being in the right place, so it would be best if it did get moved).
    I think an extra 40 overworld sprites should be enough for beginners.
     
    anyway a question about this:how many free space it takes?
    Click to expand...

    i'm not totally sure, lol...quite a few bytes...which is why it's best patched to a clean rom.
    took me a few hours to do...then it didnt work. took me 6 hours in total to do this and get it 100% working XD
     
    Um I have a quick question can If patch this to my hack I am already doing it wont revert all my maps and scripts also will it work to be patched with expanded roms if theres a problem how do I add more slots :D
    Click to expand...

    Well i patched this to my hack and it screwed some of my maps up..wouldnt let me view them. I probably wouldnt patch it to ur hack, but back it up 1st and try if you must. Let me know if it works, might have just been my hack.

    And what do you mean by expanded roms and extra slots? there's no space for extra frames, if thats what you mean. You might be able to squeeze some more sprites in, but im not totally sure how much space i left in between the data for the sprites and frames.
    I tried to make it as tidy as possible and to not have the offsets in random places.
     
    this tool is helpful!
    I need a tool like this a lot!
    thanks!
     
    I tried to do this several times, but the only tut I could find was in spanish... I know a little spanish, but not enough,so I had to google translate it. From that point It was pretty much lost...Anyway thanks for the patch!
     
    it doesnt seem to work for me? ive checked overworld editor re but they dont seem to show up?
     
    Um, I apply this to a brand new FireRed ROM, look it up in Overworld Editor, and there's no new OWs.

    What's up with that? I'm using Overworld Editor - Rebirth Edition V1.1.3

    O_o

    EDIT:

    Oops! Never mind! (I was opening the wrong ROM! LOL...)

    EDIT2:

    Oh, wait. Now it says: "Error loading INI settings for this game..."

    o_o
