Hacking Gone Wrong

I think this says enough:

Best of all, it's a fatal error, I can't fix it xD
Try resetting the map header and re-inserting the map. Might help your problems.


A really frustrating error occurs when Advancemap forgets it saved its map somewhere, gives you a pointer to a place in the rom, you make a script at that pointer, and BAM you overwrite your map. If its a map you'll get an error in AM but if its your events some things get hilariously screwy.

God help you if you insert a song incorrectly. Let's say that the resulting sound is like a rake on a chalkboard... but ten times worse.


I was messing around one day and I wanted to see what would happen if I removed the part of the code that tells how sprites are loaded. lol
 
Well, in my hack, i expanded navel rock to a full blown cave trip. I used the ferry port from birth island (as i made another trek to get there instead) as one of the rooms in the cave, only to to find that when i used the ferry to get to an island, i couldn't exit the room at all! I didn't know that the same room layout was used for all ferry ports. So I had to make a serires of doors on each island, and one in vermillion, linking to the islands to get round it. I decided to add a dig at myself, when celio gives you the tri-pass, he advises you not to use the ferry system as it you will not be able to go anywhere and to instead use the "portal" system. He explains, in my given words "The reason being is that the n00by hacker decided to expand NAVAL ROCK".
 
I tried to make a battle against the player from dabr1dg3's game Pokemon Cursed Black. (Which a. Is not a hack & b. Has nothing to do with BW, BTW.) As you can see, it wasn't pretty.

If you're wondering why I renamed Guillotine Curse, it's because in Cursed Black Curse is an OHKO move, not what it does in other games...

In my Pokémon Ruby sequel thingy, sometimes on Route 103 if you look at your Pokémon status screen, you become the bug catcher and your original trainer sprite stays there. It changes once you go into a building. Who wants a screenshot?
