Tool: Pokémon Gen III Rom Hacking Suite

Is it possible for G3HS to be made compatible with expanded level up-rate? I've added 7th level up rate in my deck.
 
Hello all, I've seen this question answered multiple times but never answered on this thread. I've been replacing all of the pokemon sprites in Fire Red and after I edited a couple pokemon and went back to look at them in the editor, a message box popped up, saying "Images failed to decompress. Aborting sprite load. The image that was attempted to be loaded had pointer: f8457408 for Front Sprite." I remember finding a post somewhere explaining how to fix this, and I was able to successfully fix the problem. It involved using a hex editor to change the sprite pointers or something. I have the same problem again with this sprite, but I forgot how I fixed it before. And to make matters worse, I can't find the post that explained how to fix the issue. I don't even know if it was on this forum. Does anyone have a way to fix this, or know of the post I'm talking about?
 
I always get this kind of error when trying to edit pokedex data (I use Pokemon Ruby)
Every time I click an offset an error appears

Hi, first of all, great tool!

I expanded the amount of Pokémon to 870 in FR, with a total number of 721 dex entries. When I try to catch the 1st expanded Pokémon in the wild however (a Turtwig), this shows when it loads the dex entries, and the game freezes:

Did I miss anything?

Thanks!

EDIT: Never mind, fixed it! Changed emulator (VBA-M -> VBA) and fiddled with G3HS's ini.

Hello! Thanks for the tool, to begin with.

I currently tried to expand the anount of Pokemon in my ROM, which uses Mr.DollSteak's ROM Base, however the tool freezes and crashes upon clicking the "EXPAND Pokémon" button. The tool works perfectly fine before I specifically do that. I have done the neccessary steps to load up the ROM base properly, the only problem is that it will not load, even on a vanilla ROM. It sent me a report and after looking into it, the error had something to do with "wxbase30u_vc90.dll". I encountered similar problems before, so I'm wondering if I only need to install/re-install wxbase30u_vc90.dll. The OS I'm currently running is Windows XP.

That's actually the problem right there. I had the same issue a while back, and was told that the newest version isn't compatible with XP, and I had to upgrade to Windows 7 to continue working. Once I did so, everything was fine again.

I'm having the same exact issue. Sadly, I believe karatekid would have to go in and edit the program's code to fix it. It's especially annoying because I can't just close it. I have to use Task Manager.

My best fix so far is to attempt to make sure I don't have to repoint. When I do, it will sometimes work if I find free space in Free space finder and put in the manual offset.

If you have a dex entry that is too long, try to shorten it. If there is an unneeded sentence, remove it. Or take out long phrases, along with finding shorter ways to get the point across.

As far as moves go, my best idea is to take out moves from second and third evolution Pokemon that come before they evolve. It will be some more work, but G3T can edit the moves just fine.

You can use Advanced Sprite Editor to insert sprites, along with the Icon editor I think is in the series.

If you happen to not have Mr.Dollstreak's patch, you can use YAPE instead. I like it better personally, but I'm barred by the patch.


I hope this helps some. A few may be hard, but I guess we have to deal with it. The only thing that doesn't really have a perfect fix is Pokedex entries. Aside from that, there are alternative tools. Not as convenient, but gets the job done.

Thanks, this really help. I only need a Pokedex data editor since G3t doesn't have it and YAPE won't work on my ruby anymore.

I've found that I only get this error, if I try and do either of the following things while there are still unsaved edits to the current Pokemon:
Editing Sprites
Editing Pokedex label(not the description)

Make sure to save before doing either of these two things and I havent had an issue since.

Ya, that's the only thing I'm also struggling with. So far, I've been taking the shortest entry their and using it. I haven't had any problems because it's smaller than the original entry. For a couple, I had to reword it or take out complete sentences for it to work.

I'm not sure there is another Pokedex editor besides Yape. -_- If it becomes too much of a chore, perhaps reinstalling it could help. I haven't tried it myself, partly because I'm too lazy.

Edit: To joexv

I haven't had a problem with the sprites as long as I get my own offset. If i use one of the ones the program finds for you, I get the error message. Everything is fine with my manual offset though.

If you increase the amount of moves, you'll probably get the error. That is the most annoying one for me. Mostly cause Pokemon Data Editing is boring and when I have to actually think it sucks that much more.
 
Has anyone successfully used this tool with an expanded moveset (beyond 0x1FF)? Using the format of Jambo51's expansion routines, I made levelup entries 3 bytes instead of two, in the same format of [MOVE - Half-Word - Reverse Hex] [Level - Byte] and terminate with 00 00 FF. I cracked open a hex editor to repoint learnsets to free space and quickly made sure the levelup routines and enemy moveset loading routines worked, which they did, at least for the first 511. I have not yet expanded my tables because I wanted to see if I could open it with a tool. This means that factors in the ini such as "numberofattacks" and "attacknames" should not be a factor. I didn't change any attacks, I only changed the way they are read on levelup and when enemy pokemon are generated.

I then went to the end of my ROM to find the correct section of the ini to edit, and I made the following changes:
learnedmoveslength = 0x3
jambo51learnedmovehack = True

Finally, I opened my ROM and got the attached error. What am I missing? :(

Update 1: Running as Admin does the same thing.

Update 2: I tried Leaf green and it worked perfectly so far. loaded up no error. have not tried anything yet.[/

Update 3: I had the wrong version of FR, i foudn out Leafgreen stuff isnt compatible with FR and someone mentioned Version 1.0 and now its working fine!!

New Question:​

Was the program supposed to have an option for EXTENDING types, or just supports them if you add them yourself?
