[Pokeemerald] Changing starting location/removing truck scene

[bitter6290]

Hello,

As part of a romhack I'm working on, I want to change the player's starting location to a position in a new map. However, simply changing the INSIDE_OF_TRUCK parameters in src/new_game.c to my new map's id doesn't work; in the middle of the player's shrinking animation after the intro, the game crashes. How would one go about changing the starting location and scene/animation?

There's a tutorial for that in the simple modifications thread: https://www.pokecommunity.com/posts/9982673/
