So, without further or do, lets go into what you need to have.
Mugshots for your trainer/Pokemon. I use this picture from NeoSeeker.com-
*And from what ive seen these are from the games, so no credit is needed*
Wichu's Advance Series
Or something to insert your mugshot with.
Some sort of script editor
In this- I will be using PKSV-UI, but you can use any by altering the script slightly.
Some basic scripting knowledge
This is essential.
Advance Map for script insertion
Good- Now that were dont with that, howabout we get started with the tutorial.
Inserting your mugshot to your ROM-
First, resize/cut a mugshot down to 64x64 and put a colour THAT IS NOT USED in the sprite/mugshot itself.
I.E- If I have a may sprite with a red hat, pale skin, and a blue tshirt, I would make the background a light pink, since its used NO WHERE in the sprite. That is now the transparent layer for the sprite.
Now, open Wichu's Sprite Editor and go to one of the many ??? sprites after 153. For this example I will be using #154, or FE in hex. *That will be important later*
Now, insert your sprite into that ???. Once you have inserted it and written to ROM, close it. Your done!
Writing the script-
Now, this can be a confusing part one what to put, so ill break it down.
Code:
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
[COLOR="Red"]showpokepic 0xFE 0x0 0x2[/COLOR]
msgbox @text ' Wassup Bruh.
callstd MSG_NORMAL
[COLOR="Red"]closeonkeypress
hidepokepic[/COLOR]
release
endRed represents important parts of that script.
Showpokepic -- shows the mugshot
0xFE -- The Pokemon's number in HEX.
0x0 and 0x2 -- The X and Y cords on the screen. I use 0x0 0x2 because its in the bottom corner just above the textbox.
Closeonkeypress -- This tells the script to close itself, so the mugshots doesn't stay there after the script is ended.
Hidepokepic -- This hides the sprite after you use the closeonkeypress command.
Now compile and copy the offset.
Inserting the sprite into the ROM-
Now, go ahead and open up Advance Map and load your rom. Head to the map you wish to insert the event into. Make a new person event and put in your compiled offset in the appropriate box.
Save- and its inserted!
Now, it should look like the example in the beginning.
