[Other] how to make hack?

You're going to need a ROM, and some tools. I recommend starting with Advance Map, which can be found in our Tools and Tutorials section. It allows you to alter the appearance of in-game maps. You will also need an emulator (something to play the ROM on) such as Visual Boy Advance.

Once you have found a ROM in google, unzip the file and open the .gba file in Advance Map. You can then navigate around and find a map you want to edit. If you look for "3" (map bank 3) you will find all the town/city maps.

Once saved, the change will be made and you can test it in your emulator.

For scripting, coding events and speech, you will need a program like XSE and a matching tutorial - which we have plenty of! :D

It may be worth noting that bank 3 is only used in FireRed / LeafGreen for the town/city maps, though I'm sure you'll be able to find what you're looking for in any (Gen 3 Pokémon) ROM using AdvanceMap.
