Five Things I Need Help With

    Hi,

    So a brief introduction in spoilers if you want to know why I want to know those things:

    Spoiler:


    Now to the actual questions:

    1) Along the game you find on the road some NPCs that heal your Pokemon. I want to introduce one of these for each gym - except Giovanni's/Viridian's. How can I do that?

    2) I want to make the Ground type immune to Static and the Grass type immune to Effect Spore. Any help?

    3) How do I remove the requirement of 10 caught Pokemons to receive HM05 (Flash)?

    4) Playing Pokemon Gaia some time ago I saw a fantastic feature: no HM animation while in the overworld. How can I disable those for FireRed?

    5) The first rival battle have a tutorial where Oak explains how battling works. Is there anyway to remove it? I've tried deleting Oak's related-dialogue using AdvanceText but to no avail.

    My ROM already has DPE and CFRU what solved many of the things that I see as a problem (cheers for this hack's author, by the way).

    Thanks!

    Everything can be done pretty easily.

    Hope all of this helps! :)

    Thanks! That answer many questions - helpful as always.

    As for the HM05 (Flash), what I want is to keep the conversation but remove the check for 10 Pokemon caught - this way I can just alter the text to something else using AdvanceText.

    I'll take a look into the script and make the other changes and will report back here.

    Again, thanks!

    Ah, okay. Replace that script with this then:
    Code: 
    [B]RAW format:[/B]
#dynamic 0x[Free Space Offset]

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x23B
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @msg1 0x2
checkitemroom 0x157 0x1
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 goto @noroom
additem 0x157 0x1
loadpointer 0x0 @give
giveitem2 0x157 0x1 0x101
setflag 0x23B
msgbox @donemsg MSG_KEEPOPEN 
release
end

#org @done
msgbox @donemsg MSG_KEEPOPEN 
release
end

#org @noroom
msgbox @noroommsg MSG_KEEPOPEN
release
end


'---------

#org @msg1
= Hi! Remember me?\nI'm one of PROF. OAK's AIDES.\pI'm suppose to give you this!

#org @give

    Thanks again.

    So it is just: opening AdvancedMaps, going to Route 2, clicking on Events, selecting the aide, Open Script, and replacing everything in there for what you've posted above, right? Even the RAW Format: and [Free Space Offset] part?

    I was trying to turn this into a .bin to get an hex line to insert in the game and then replacing this hex line in a given offset and finally replacing [Free Space Offset] with said offset but I got some errors when trying to run the above script in THUMB Editor & Assembler.

    As for this:

    nop the 8 bytes at 080484 to make trainerbattle 0x9 not have oak's text

    I don't think I understood it properly as zeroing the next 8 bytes at 080484 didn't skip Oak's text. Any idea of what am I doing wrong?

    This is how the line looks like now:

    Code: 
    00080480     00 29 03 D0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 49 06 48

    Again, thanks for the helpful hand.

    Ah, that's a XSE script. And no, you just copy the script below "RAW format:" and replace the [Free Space Offset] with whatever dynamic free space offset you want. Just write #dynamic 0x800000 there. After that you compile the script in XSE and you're good to go!

    Just go to the beginning of the offset (0x80480) and replace (Ctrl + B) it with this: 00 29 03 D0 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 49 06 48

    Ok, using XSE I was able to save this script as a .rbc file (using Save As - the common save was not available) and compiled it using Tools -> Batch Compiler but I think I'm missing something as when I open the NPC's script the old one is still there. Is there a further step that I'm supposed to do?

    That what I did previously and did now once again just to double check, but Oak keeps pestering me:

    Yes. Select your ROM and go to the folder where your script is, and compile that in your ROM. After that it gives you an offset; copy that offset and paste it in the place of the old one (using A-Map, you will see "Script Offset", replace the number of the script there with the one you copied from XSE).

    Did you save your ROM? Ctrl+S?

    It seems you have don't have much knowledge about XSE. I would suggest you take a look at this tutorial.

    Actually, it gave me a bunch of offsets. How do I identify the correct one?

    Yup, it even generated a .bak file. I'm rolling back from a previous backup and trying for a third time. If it fails I'll call it a night and let this matter rest.

    Edit: Ok, this was related to a flag in CFRU. Was able to identify and alter ir properly. This one is solved.

    Thanks, apparently I do need to read this. Won't be able to do so until Friday, though.

    Thanks for the help, mate.
