Hey humans.
I'm still plugging away at my ROM Hack and thought I'd take a break from sprites to suss out my options that are out there in terms of ROM bases. I've found a couple and have had a little play around.
I checked out MrDS's base and changed a few things to suit my needs and thought "woot, this is great". Only to read that even the creator doesn't recommend using it. So I had a small play around with Leon and UltimaSoul's FireRed Base which by all reports is better, more stable and has more things included.
I've hit a snag though. With MrDS's base I was easily able to change Fairy type to my own custom one (Fairies don't really belong/go with my Dinosaur/extinction theme) by just following the offsets and changing the image to suit with NSE. Easy, right?
However, I tried the same with Leon and UltimaSoul's, only to find that the type chart pic at a couple of the offsets provided doesn't have any new types included at all. I'm confused, since Fairy is definitely a type included in the base. :/
TL;DR: What am I missing? Where do I alter the types using Leon and UltimaSoul's ROM base?
UPDATE: Found what I was after, just needed to change the image height to 18 instead of 16
Thanks, in Gameboy Advance peeps
