The Offset Reference - please contribute!

[Christos]

The aim of this thread is to have a list of all possible offsets that might be useful for us ROM hackers. I've added a few for Fire Red for now and will add more later. Please contribute! Include additional information (for tables, for example) if you have to.

Fire Red

[Substitute Doll]

Oooh first post

I'll start with item offsets

FR

Item Data: 0x083DB028 - 44 bytes per item
Item Image/Pallete Table: 0x083D4294 - 8 bytes per item
Item Limiters: 0x0809a8ae and 0x08098998
0x08098998 - number of items

 

[Starfall321]

Oooh first post

I'll start with item offsets

FR

Item Data: 0x083DB028 - 44 bytes per item
Item Image/Pallete Table: 0x083D4294 - 8 bytes per item
Item Limiters: 0x0809a8ae and 0x08098998
0x08098998 - number of items

0809a8ae = 00 00 00 00

For Emerald
Item Data: 0x5839A0 - 44 bytes per item
Item Image/Pallete Table: 0x614410 - 8 bytes per item

To remove item limiters:
0x1B001E= 00 00 00 00
0x0D7466= 00 00 00 00
Emerald has a total of 0x40CC bytes for the data but a total of 0xBD0 bytes for the image(included bag "return arrow" image). So if you really want to do item expansion, just leave slot 378 empty.

 

[Squeetz]

Sand footprint palette:

The palette used for sandy footprints is at 0x398FA8 in FireRed and 0x398F88 in LeafGreen.

Pickup table: (click "see original post" for more info)

The Pickup table in FR is at x250848. Each entry is four bytes- the first two are the index number of an item, the latter two are the odds of the item being obtained plus the value for the previous item.

Sorry if some of these are a little messy or such. I don't keep very clean notes.

[miksy91]

Just a suggestion, but it could be worth writing down all kinds of useful information in a ROM Map that everyone could easily access rather than having a forum thread with several posts with each one having different kinds of stuff in it.

As an example of a useful ROM Map, here is one that is made mostly by Koolboyman back in the day for Pokemon Gold:
http://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon_Gold:ROM_map
I have personally found it quite useful although not so much anymore.

And here is a one for FireRed and LeafGreen with almost no information in it, but it could be easily expanded: http://datacrystal.romhacking.net/wiki/Pokémon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen:ROM_map

I looked for this for a little bit and thought it might help.

This is for regular wild Pokemon data in a vanilla FR rom.

It looks like it's just a table and route one begins at 3C8E60.
3C8E98 Route 2.

This will be a little difficult to explain, but at the end of the table, you'll see this: 00 00 00 60 8E 3C 08 for route one. This actually tells you where the route 1 pokemon begin, which at the end of the route 1 data, due to reverse endian.
Now, the structure is this 0A 64 8B 01
0A = Min level
64 = Max level
8B 01 = pokemon Index in reverse endian.
This would be useful for changing wild pokemon data manually, as I believe I have to do with pokemon > Gen III.

Just thought it might be useful, idk.

Someone knows the offset of the raw of the pokedex?, I have already located the tileset and the palette but nothing that I get the raw

 

[Henry Owen]

Does anyone have the location of the Pokémon Party selection palettes? I really need them to finish my fan game. I admire the patches available in the community but I wanted to make my game as original as possible. Thank you so much.

What about the Pokédex background?
