o.O What kind of bugs aew we talking about?
Click to expand...

If you use scripts found in those areas, they will be deleted, ASM scripts you insert may not work at all, lots of things, you HAVE to use it, or you WILL get messed up.
(It will clean out everything, clearing the original scripts put in by Nintendo.)
Seriously, there is a reason JPAN said it works with his cleaned patch, because he made this ASM with it, this is best used when starting a NEW hack.
 
This looks incredible. I don't have much to say that hasn't been said already. I'll be sure to use this for my hack.
 
Wow! You really took your time doing this, and I love it. I think I'll use it:P
Thanks a lot. This will really help.

Ok, so applying it to a pure, unhacked rom won't cause those bugs? :)

For anyone wondering, you should NOT apply this to a Clean Fire Red Rom, but instead, use JPAN's Clearing Patch, that clears out all of the scripts, signposts, and sprites in every map. Otherwise, some bugs may occur. You can find it in the OLD rom hacking thread, for those who can't find it anymore, here is a link.

Well, actually, what I said was that this hack was made based on the Clean Patch I posted earlier. That means that applying this patch will do the same as the Clean Patch, that is, erasing all scripts from the original map. So, this patch should be appliable to any Fire Red rom, hacked or not, that doesn't use the old scripts.

That is because, at the slightest change in number of events, AdvanceMap will repoint them to 0x712000 and below, leaving the old ones behind. So only maps you left intact from the original game should be affected. Only detail I need to add, this patch will erase the almost always reused Pokecenter scripts (healing, linking). Take care if that happens to you. Those scritps are easy to find (and copy) from any not-patched game, but I will provide them together with the resources in the next release.
 
There is onely one word to describe this: superawesomebestthingintheworldever.

Really, this will help me (and I'm sure many others) a lot. Especially the dynamic multichoice options, battle specials and swarming specials.

I got a few questions though:

Never mind. I tried it myself and I pretty much figured it out.

That's odd. After reading this post, I tried with my a normal Fire Red and activated every needed flag. The sub-functions of the surfing and flying worked normally. Did you use a US Fire red ROM? I tried several ways of calling those functions, an they work.
Because I deleted the scripts, including level scripts, the worldmap_flags are not being set, so you can't fly anywhere on the just-patched ROM. But no freezes were found.
 
Now heres an idea for ya ;)
U know the sethealingplace command?
since u already seem to know abunch about ASM
would you be able to change that one
OR be able to make it so that we can set
a var (for example lets use 0x7FFF)
the PC script would be: setvar 0x7FFF 0x[map bank] setvar 0x7FFE 0x[map number]
then alter the part that makes us scurry to the PC to simply warp us to the places specified in the two variables.
Just an idea.
 
make one for emerald now plox

Very nice. Very nice.

Very very nice.

Dunno what else to say, rofl. 8D
 
Problem Resolved

Oh,i have now identified the problem.xD

It was because i had used a old save from another firered and because that,it was causing conflict!

But now that i started new game,its resolved! Thank you!:D

Your hacked engine is fantastic!

Can't you just make it set those vars at the start of your hack and set the sethealingplace table pointer to those vars +8 ?
 
Er, I have a question.
How would I make an overworld have one of the new palettes that I made a new pointer to in the table, and what would I number the new palette?

In the palette table, the end is marked with 00000000 ff110000. if you place it after that line, it will not work. Also, if the above would be a palette, the 11ff would be the number of that palette. Almost all numbers are still available, so number it something like 0020 would be fine. Remember to place the finish line at the end of your new insertions, or the code will crash the game.

Unfortunately, the OW Editor does not support this new aditions, so the best way to make it is to be tricky.
Copy your ROM. That copy will be where you will replace the old sprites and palettes with your new ones. Edit the new sprite and frames to your liking. In the end, go to where that OW is (at the old OW data pointer, the first pointer at the OW table pointers), copy the OW data to the first ROM, and place a pointer to the OW data in your Overworld table. Don't forget to copy your frames from the Sprite pointer.
Now, the OW is in the game but the Palette is still be messed up. So, go the OW data and right after the FFFF bytes you find the palette. Replace it with the new one you inserted and try it out.

I have checked out the Sethealingplace command, and figured out how it worked. Your idea of the variables isn't too far off. It would require at least three variables, and the sethealingplace would only be necessary to determine the script that is called after the blackout (I checked out how it worked without such check, and it would always treat the are as a pokecenter, displaying the animation on such places as Blaine's head).
However, that change will still take some time to make.
 
This looks amazing because it has one feature I've always wanted: variable wild/trainer pkmn level based on your current level.

After trying it out, I'm completely confused. I played it through and all of the events are gone (as expected). However, when I opened it on Advance Map I still see all the events there. I tried making an event and it didn't show up. It's almost as if all of the events are still present but simply "turned off." Mind helping an enthusiastic hacking noob out? I'm dying to play around with the level editor thing.
 
That's weird? I never got an error with mine. But for everyones info this takes out EVERY script. Including the ability to nickname pokemon. But this is easy to fix. Just insert it from a clean rom.

I've been doing research and I'm wondering if I'm missing something important. I'm using XSE and Advance Map, but I'm beginning to think that maybe I need to be using a different program or something.
With Advance Map, all of the scripts are there in the game, they just don't seem to activate / show up when I start the rom.
