Advance map. I'm gonna go check if it's only the maps I've modified or just all the maps in general.

Edit: it's happening with every map.

Well what map name byte thing are you using? cause afaik only show city names (0D) and do not show(00) are the only ones that work for me, and then it will base the map title image off of the map name. Cause I know show city names is the only one I have used and it will still show different map images.

If Emerald's coding of that is anything like FireRed, I can tell you that the name is read from a table via formula. So if you move the table about or change pointer to it, or perhaps overwrite it, it probably won't show up. I remember seeing a check which decides whether or not to show the plate as well. I can't recall 100% where that was or what that was, I just vaguely remember it when I was working on swarming Pokemon. Uhh, for your case I'd just make sure all the tables are where they're supposed to be, and then try and find out what that condition was. Alternatively, if you're up for some debugging, my ASM tutorial would explain how you can find the routine which deals with this and get to the source of your problem.

Replace all instances of the word in a hex editor. Then you'll want to find the graphic images in unlz or whatever tool and edit those too.

For some reason, when I create a new map and insert it into my game, my player won't warp to the new map. Some help will be greatly appreciated.

Can you elaborate? Have you tried just walking into the map? Remember warp tiles require special behavior byted tiles to be underneath them.

Well, it's at the beginning of Pokemon Emerald, after you get out of the truck. It teleports me to Littleroot, not my new map.

Yeah, you need to edit where it teleports you to after the truck animation thing. There's a tool to do that, but I forget what it's called (Intro editor maybe?).

Open your ROM in advance map, then go to tile behaviors. One of the behaviors is "Tile covered by Hero" use that one (sorry I don't remember which one exactly and don't really have A-map to check :P ).

where is "tile behaviors" i can't seems to find it

Take a look at the picture. That's where you find it, in the block editor.

Walking through a warp will fix this, everything should update then.

Any one know where the offsets are located that determine where your player goes after you beat the game and use the special 0x110 command?

FR btw

Bumping my question since it is of up most importance to me.:P
and its been 2 days since first asked

 

[NintroHacksForPower]

Hey, this might be a noob question but i'm trying to update the sprites in FR with 64x64 DS Style ones and I can't figure out how to make it so I can change all the forms of Deoxys and Castform without the other frames going blank. How do I change all of their forms/all forms in general?

 

[dracone]

While I probably won't go about doing this, I would like to see someone try to address it. The 4 move limit for Pokemon has been present since the first 2 games, and I am unaware if it has been addressed officially, if not here are some suggestions for some of you to try and share with us. Extend the limit to five or six moves, set up so you can cycle through alternate move lists and dump new moves into the alternate move lists (if you decide to go this route you'll also have find a way to flip through the move lists for each Pokemon outside of combat situations, cycling through move lists in combat while cool might be a little not be good idea if you're concerned with balance issues). If your wondering where the question is in all this, here it is, Why hasn't anyone attempted either of these suggestions?

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

 

[Mana1]

Does anyone have any theoretical (or actual, working) means to boost a moves power rating in game. Something along the lines of getting x-badge/pointinstory which boosts x-moves power by 10? I shamelessly tried writebytetooffset, which it didn't seem to like.

Is ASM the answer or are there other means?
