    I really should look through the posts on this thread to see if this has already been reported but I have 24 pages of posts to skim. Hopefully this is understandable.

    I did a quick swap of some evolutions which don't seem to be matching up with how Pokemon are actualy evolving. In particular the Trade w/ Held Item and Stone evolutions seem to be swapped. Either the tool automatically switch each of these evolutions or it's just mislabeled. I used an Emerald ROM, the two case Pokemon were Scyther and Growlithe.

    Just switch them in the ini. There is a list of names. Emerald did it backwards from the other games, so I may have missed that.

    Each time I upload a sprite from my comp the colors of the second sprite get all messed up.

    this is already irritating with the originals that I relocate n the dex, but I can live with that.
    I find it much more annoying with my Fakemon's that I have spend hours to color with Paint.
    is there a way to fix this?

    I tried uploading a pic, but I cant due to the 15 posts rule, sorry

    ok, got a second issue:

    bad LZ77 compressed data at 0x767ec4


    images failed to decompress. aborting sprite load. the image that was attempted to be loaded had pointer: c47e7608 for back sprite

    I got this after loading an other custom sprite set and now I cant even open the sprite's to change them...

    For the first one, put the sprites on one sheet. For an example, look at Chaos Rush's 64x64 Sprite resource. The reason they screw up is because the colors are indexed and stored separately from the images. The shiny front and back share the same palette as do the normal front and back.

    The second one basically means the data is corrupted for the image. This can happen by running another program that access's the rom or some other type of error. Try going to that offset in a hex editor and see what you find.

    • Sorry if you have answered this before, but when I try to open my ROM in PG3HS, I get this Message:

    ERROR:

    When asked to recover the .ini file I accept and get this message:

    What does your ini file look like? Almost guarantee you it a blank file.

    Please spoiler long things like that.



    Are you 100% sure there is no "[" before the "ALL]"? Cause that would be the issue right there.

    Sorry. I'm new and I didn't know how to hide the text in a spoiler. i edited it to add the spoiler.

    The ini's first line of text is:

    [ALL]

    I got rid of the "[" around ALL, but it didn't help. Also, when I boot up the program it says:

    Spoiler:


    I know that the Resource folder is there and Icon.png is in the folder. Do I have to put the folders in a specific location?

    I have yet to check the Hex editor for the error, trough I doubt I will realize anything (i have no idea how these hex codes work, is there a way for me to learn this stuff?)

    anyway, thanks for the link to Chaos Rush, but that wont fix the color issue I have with my own creations, how can I fix that?

    They should be in the dex.:/ But they won't appear until you catch/see one of course. A-map and A-starter will not display them, they are not designed to.

    I sent you that link to show you how to set up your sprites. Put them all in one image like his are, in that order.

    It needs to be in the same folder as the .exe. Are you on Windows?

    Is there a chance to expand the total number of pokemon for a second time after you did it for the first time? Maybe there is an entry that has to be resetted!?
    (I'm sorry for disturbing when the answer was already given but I didn't read all 25 pages of this thread...)
