  • Overworld Editor - Rebirth Edition


    I got a bug for you.. I exported Mays sprite out of Emerald, edited it, and re-indexed it in photoshop just to be sure.. I double checked even to make sure it was the right number of colors(16), but when I tried to import the edited sprite,s it told me it does not have a properly sized palette(16 colors).. Even though it obviously does. Whats wrong?

    Hmm, the only thing I can think of is that you added an extra colour in part of the process. It should be fine if the palette is 16 colour because I've inserted palettes with it all the time.

    I love how the Trainer Editor edits items ^^

    Not sure if this is only for me, but when I edit Custom Attacks, after I save it, it goes back to default. T_T

    EDIT: Also, when I try to edit brawly, an error message comes up. All the other trainers are fine to edit. Maybe I need to get some certain missing files...

    I have a question...

    I just downloaded the Overworld Editor Rebirth Edition from this thread, but I cannot export sprites.
    Is there something special I should do to get this to work?

    [edit] If it makes any difference, the ROM I'm using is FireRed.

  • HackMew, I have an idea for XSE. I don't know if you have had this idea or not, but how about in XSE, when editing text strings a little checker thingy which tells you how much space you've got left to edit the string. Also a feaure to decompile a script as a text string would be a useful thing to add. :3

    I think that's what the Text Adjuster does. (Tools, Text Adjuster) You type it out normal the convert it then insert it and it says how much room there is before the next line and if a words goes over it takes that word to the next line. Cool hey? :)

  • wielll...
    idk if vb provides the capabilitie...
    but u could have XSE check to see if the user is currently typing a message
    and if he/she is
    then you could make that little tooltip thing that you have for
    commands popup and it could display the amount of chaaracters left on a line (not including the new line characters...)
    for checking for a message, i would just grab the current line, and look for an "=" sign...
    just a suggestion.

    No, I mean where we know the size of the original text string (the text adjuster really doesn't do that.) :3

    Yeah I agree with you :)
    It'd be awesome for translators... that way we'd know how much can we expand the text string :)
    Hope HM will do it .)

    I noticed in one of your videos, HackMew, that you managed to change the cry of the Pokemon Prof. Birch sends out in the intro. Could you add that feature in the next version of SMCA? (Or tell me if it's possible with a hex editor, lol)

    Okay then, wtih XSE, decompile the Pokeball's script and edit the setvar 0x4002's value to the desired Pokemon's number in hex. The hex numbers can be found in stditems.rbh file in XSE.

  • Omg, thank you for making all of these tools. I am in the middle of creating a new remake of ruby version, but i was using all of the original tools that i got way back when emerald came out. these look so sleek and run so smoothly.
