Introduction...
Hello, my name is Fan King, some might know me personally here on Pokecommunity, while other have seen my hack, my posts, and maybe none of you have heard of me XD.
Well today I decided to write a tutorial on how to manually edit the intro to a hack. AKA the part where it tells you about the adventure you going to take, blah, blah,blah. You know, the part with the little pikachu hovering at the top right corner of the screen.
![[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red](https://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss357/jebees/picture1.png "[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red")
yeah that's the one
well, today i'm going to show how to change it from that to this
![[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red](https://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss357/jebees/picture2.png "[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red")
for my hack,don't steal in any way or i'll find you o.o
p.s. check it out in the progressing hacks XD
how you do it...
so how exactly do you change this text? well you need 3 things
~a hex editor( I use Hex workshop, type it in google, and download it from the site)
~the table file, (check the attachments)
~maybe a notepad and pen
~ a whole lot of time,patience,and brains(for the zombies XD)
~VBA
so now you have your table file, your hex editor. You want to open up your rom in VBA and go to the intro thing( do i have to explain it again? XD)
so now with your table file, translate the first couple of words into what the table file says.
In the world
equals
C3E200E8DCD900EBE3E6E0D8
so copy that and search it in your hex editor,(if your using hex workshop, just press ctrl+F and then go to type under hex values). So did you get it? if you didn't, then something is very wrong O.O
so now that you found it what message do you want to put in? how about brains. brains is a good idea, then you would translate brains
brains= D6E6D5DDCD
So then you would type that in then save it. now open your rom and go to the intro and you should see this
![[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red](https://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss357/jebees/picture3.png "[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red")
see, now you can do it!
adding more than just "brains"...
so now you can put a word in there, but now you want more than a word. You want a whole page of it, so now just scroll down to the bottom of the table file and you should see this
FA=\l
FB=\p
FC=\c
FD=\v
FE=\n
FF=\x
is you know about scripting, then you know what these do, it's just like scripting a simle message box. so when you get to then end of the box on the screen, use FE to go down a line. so if i add FE right after brains it would look like this
![[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red](https://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss357/jebees/picture4.png "[PokeCommunity.com] Hex Editing the Intro of Fire Red")
so with the knowledge i told you, put what you want in the box
the 2nd and 3rd page...
now you have one page complete, your ready to move on, so you scroll down in your hex editor and you see a bunch of FF's, so your stumped. But all you need to do is translate the first couple of words, search them in your hex editor and repeat the above process. do that also with the third page
FAQ
Q: I searched the translated text in the hex editor, and it said it wasn't found!
A: Either you made a problem in translating, typing it out, or are searching for the wrong. Or maybe you put too long of a search text in the box.
Q: I found the letters in the hex editor and changed them, but when I ran the rom, the text wasn't changed!
A: Your search came up with another result that wasn't the data you need. translate a couple more words, then search it again.
Please criticize my method with constructive criticism. Also if there's anything you find that has a problem with you, PM me.
