[Graphic✓] [FR] Battle Textbox editing

[vxo]

Hey all,

I've been doing some searching around, I can't find much information on modifying the battle box for Pokémon Fire Red.

I was able to find the offset to edit it via NSE, but it's a compressed image (Which seems to have some issues from what I've gathered) and I cannot for the life of me find the palette for it.

This is the only thread I can find that discusses the Battle Textbox for Fire Red, so if you know how to edit the in-battle textbox, please let me know! Thanks.

EDIT: Solution!

The palette starts at 0xD004DD, you should probably use a hex editor to edit the colors. If you don't know how check Anthroyd's video tutorial on palette editing;)

Thank you!

And for other people to use this as a resource;
First off make a backup of your ROM.
Follow this video tutorial to edit the palette: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kD6ovBTcsTM&list=PLfI5DBI4tNyLBYGNhf1Ee8cgdmMtiilps&index=29

And if you want to edit the bitmap/graphic of the battle box, open NSE 2.0 or 2.X and go to offset

D00000

.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO EDIT THE COLORS USING NSE. IT WILL NOT WORK AND BREAK YOUR ROM.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REMAP/CHANGE THE OFFSET OF THE BITMAP. IT WILL BREAK YOUR ROM.
