Super quick question, anyone know the unlz picture number for the team rocket logo and RAW that appears before you fight TR in FRLG? I've found the Magma and Aqua ones in emerald, but not the rocket one.

I want to replace the TM/TA logos with the rocket one :)

Thanks

I have no idea what happened. I put a trainer into the Pokemon Tower with the Advance Map and Advance Trainer. I go to Lavender town on the Emulator, the Pokemon Tower is literally empty. I can't go up the stairs, nor can I exit the Tower. I saved before I entered. On the advance map the npcs are there but I can't actually see them.

like 0 npcs throughout the whole tower or where did you add the npc

i don't know about the rest of tower, i can't get up the stairs. the trainer was added when you walk in. i might have to just restart, annoyingly.

if you delete the addded npc, what happens? everything return to normal?
and btw amap 1.92 or 1.95?
it might be something to do with the tower itself, or if you're using 1.95 then it's probably just caused by 1.95 being buggy

EDIT: a question of my own:
Where exactly is Jambo51's setword Battle Script command? His post in the Quick R&D thread that is referenced so often as containing it, well, doesn't. Or is it just compiled as four storebytes by BSP...?

EDIT2: nevermind, i can just find it in the decap and attack rombase ahaha

Hello and good day. I have a question related to level scripts.

Can one map have two [Script Type 2] level scripts? Both will check different variables, of course.

Thanks~

No maps are allowed duplicate types.
The way to go around it is edit the script in XSE's header editor:
Usually you'd see this:

#org 0xwhateveroffsetthiscamefrom
#raw 2
#raw pointer @scriptstuff
#raw 0

#org @scriptstuff
#raw word 0x4000
#raw word 1
#raw pointer @main
#raw word 0

To add a second one, do this:

#org 0xwhateveroffsetthiscamefrom
#raw 2
#raw pointer @scriptstuff
#raw 0

#org @scriptstuff
#raw word 0x4000
#raw word 1
#raw pointer @main
#raw word 0x4000
#raw word 2
#raw pointer @main2
#raw word 0

The second set is still a part of the 0x2 script, but amap wasn't smart enough to catch these. This is why level scripts in the littleroot houses are cut off in amap, there are more put together this way.

Those in red, I believe you meant XSE instead of A-Map?

Well amap will only list the first event of the type. It won't list the others.
Say I have 18 02 scripts. Amap will only show the first one and pretend like the others don't exist, and when you save the map scripts in amap itself, it'll delete the other 17.

Hi guys. I have a bit of a problem that I'm trying to fix. In my pokemon emerald hack, my script for entering a pokemon contest, the receptionist you speak to goes into a later part of her script.
she states 'congratulations for winning the contest, here's your prize.' the script then veers off.

My suspicion is that i replaced her flag with something else. Any suggestions.

Also if anyone else has a list of all the special scripts. It would be much appreciated.

I'm also looking for special scripts not listed, such as the one for when you're in the battle pike and one of the trainer inflicts you with a status condition such as freeze, burn, paralysis, or poison.

That's only one example.

If anyone could assist me it would be much appreciated.

Heysers guys~
Just a simple question for you all today...

is it possible to have more choices to pop up after you pick your sex? Like choosing a sprite? Because I wanna employ that in my roms where you have a choice of looks since you can't really customize characters.

2 questions about Emerald:

*Is it possible to force the SET battle style?
*Is it possible to have nicknames for trainer/ leader pokemon?

 

[InAmberClad]

I don't think this warrants a thread, since I'm sure it's been done before, and I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction.

How would I set/change a Pokémon's IV's/Nature/Moves? For instance, if I wanted to give the player a perfect IV starter with a particular nature, how would I do that within an XSE script? I'm already familiar with how to give a Pokémon, I just want to know how to edit an existing one, or influence its generation.

EDIT: Gen III, Fire Red specifically! Sorry

I am in the process of remapping FireRed entirely, I just finished remapping Viridian Forest and i was walking around to see if i missed a tile but it seems whenever i walk across a certain point the game freezes. Here is a screenshot of the map if it can help you guys. https://imgur.com/a/qPUGF
How should i proceed to understand what is causing this issue?

EDIT: I am using Advance map 1.92 and FireRed version 1.1

Hi, I have two problems that I need help on.

1) Palette

I'm having some palette problems (I'm using Jpan's palette expansion and the Dynamic Palette patch). As you can see in the first picture, the playable character is in the correct palette. However, in the next 3 screenshots, its palette begins to change each time a new sprites appear (Tauros and Ditto). (Ditto and Tauros are using expanded palette)

2) Naming a second rival
So in my hack, there's 2 rivals. Is there a way where I could name the second rival? Like maybe renaming v\h07, v\h08 or v\h09?
