Suppose I'm creating two different hacks of Emerald. Since there is no .ini File for Emerald for A-Text, I got one from here "https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=87977". Its very incomplete though, so it'd be helpful if someone knows where I can get a complete INI File for Emerald (& Ruby).
Anyways, I know how to add Text to an ini file (I think), by using the search option. I just wanted to know that if you once write something to an .ini File, does it just remain there even if I change the Text or will the changes also show up on a fresh ROM too?
I think an example would make what I want to know clearer.
Okay let's suppose I'm making two Emerald hacks, on two different Emerald ROMs.
In the first Emerald ROM, I want to change Prof. Birch, to Prof. Oak & in the second one, I want to change Prof. Birch to Prof. Elm.
Alright, now on the first Emerald ROM, let's say I change Birch's initial intro, which I named "Birch's Intro" by the way when I saved it to the .ini File on A-Text, which is:-
with this one:-
By the way, how do you rename a Heading on A-Text, coz I wanted to rename Birch's Intro, to Oak's Intro, but couldn't find a way to do so.
Anyways, now what I want to know is that if I open my second Emerald ROM (note that I DON'T mean the one I made changes to, I mean a fresh ROM), will A-Text show the original Birch's Intro, or will it show the modified one?
I'm asking this coz this just happened recently. Here's what I did:-
I first made the changes in Text (as in the above e.g.) to the first Emerald ROM & saved it. Then opened the second one for making changes (which is a fresh ROM by the way), but for some reason, A-Text showed my new Text (the Oak one), instead of the original one (the Birch one) under "Birch's Intro". So I then deleted the heading "Birch's Intro" from A-Text on my first ROM, searched for it again, wrote it to the INI File & then made changes again to my First ROM & saved it. This time when I opened my second fresh ROM, the original Text showed up.
Just to add, I always make sure that the new text I make is always equal or shorter than the original one, to avoid repointing, coz I think that way I won't be overwriting or interfering with any other text or anything else on a ROM, right. And I'm supposing that the extra characters left, just get converted into empty space (in which case it should become FF on a Hex Editor, if I'm not wrong). So that might not be the problem.
Its happened more than a couple of times now, that the changes I make to a Text, also show up on a fresh ROM, I don't know why, coz I'm using two different ROMs. Can someone help!
