Indexing and Inserting Sprites

What do you mean by the transparent colour, how do I put it all green. because I tried in paint and it only did parts of it :s

Edit: It keeps saying my image is too big, when it is 64x64. Even when i try and insert the original copy !

I don't know about Emerald. :\
never touched that ROM before.
 
WILL SOMEBODY ANSWER MY QUESTION?!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's been over 2 months now and nobody answered my question. I think I should give up hacking.

When I try to insert it into the ROM, it has one of the following problems:

1. It says "Ptr found at [insert hex number here]. Changed." And when I flip back to the sprite, it is inverted (sorta) with a pitch-black background!
2. The sides are cut off.
3. There is a sharing violence.
4. The sprite messes up and there is a background around it when I play the ROM.

If this question is not answered by the next time I get here, I'm cancelling Dark Red and all of my other projects.

I really would care less about you cancelling your hack.

However, have you chacked if it's in 64x64 in size?
also, it is supposed to look like the old sprite with an inverted pallete if you insert a new sprite.

check the other pages and i have demonstarted how it looks in game around here in this thread.

okay... they work pretty fine and perfect in my case. :\
Spoiler:


I really do not know why it doesn't work in your case. however, I am also sure this works in FireRed as well.
I got no time though, busy in real life. :\
but if you wish, I can post some proof that this method does work in FireRed as well. But maybe later. :\

Maybe you have overwritten an offset which was already have been used. :\

EDIT

here's proof that it also works with FireRed. :\

I already explained it like just a few post above yours.
They are suppose to happen.

but I don't know why the backsprites are the only ones which shows up.
 
i'm trying to insert Darkrai's Platinum sprite in FireRed, but i'm stuck on the step where you have to edit the palettes and fix it. how exactly do u "fix" it? thnx to the person who answers this big problem for me.
 
This is a great tutorial. I have one question though. I replaced an Unown with a Chimchar and repointed it on a FireRed rom. I set it as a starter and the rom crashed on me. What happenned?
