The only thing I really need help with is editting boss stats. I tried using PIPES, except that it doesn't seem to work. The name changes are there, but the stats don't change. Whether it be programs, or the offset in the actual ROM, could anyone help me out?
Thanks in advance.

I'll be asking a bunch of questions since I'm pretty new to this stuff, so bear with me.

Which monsters aren't working when you change them

Any monster, actually.

and what kind of stats are you trying to change?

Attack, Defence, Mg. Attack, Mg. Defence, Weaknesses, Ineffective, exp and the like.

Anyway, the reason why I'm doing an SMRPG hack is just to improve, and learn new things that I didn't know before. Then I'll go on hacking more difficult games.

By the way, if you don't mind me asking, what do I do with the byte list? Also, how did you end up finding where the monster stats were?

but they are not in the same order as the monster list

Is there any specific order? Alpha, order of appearance?

Ok, I change the HP (which is two bytes), but not only does their HP change, but it seems their attack and def change. So take 390226, where the HP for the Terrapin is. The value at 390226 is 26 obviously, so I change it to 00. But when I do, they get much higher damage, higher speed and all of my attacks miss. I mess around with it, and it's multiple stats that change. Then I change it to 28 and I do big damage on them, they do none on me, and they have loads of hp.

Then I try Hammer Bro. His byte is AC, multiplied by two is 158, so I add it to 390226 and I get 39037E. I change the first two bytes there (which should be HP) and I see no change.

What am I doing wrong?

I came here not only just to have a good time, but to improve my ROM hacking ability. A friend of mine recommended that I come here so I took his advice. I've already been getting some good help, so I'll continue to stay here.
Great board.

The link for Evil Peer's Snes9x tracer mark 8 doesnt come with the .dll files, so I download them, and it asks for ZLIBMT.DLL except when I look for it, there are no results. . . Is there a specific place where I'm supposed to put the file in? Speaking of which, does anyone have the SNES9x tracer working?

For hex editting, hackman another great hex editor, and it's been more compatible for me than other hex editors. It's free too.

Alright, so I go to the place where the Hammer Bros stats were, changed it all to FFs just to see what would happen and everything seems to be the same. Nothing changed, it all remained the same. So, what's going on?

Also, what about this:

Ok, I change the HP (which is two bytes), but not only does their HP change, but it seems their attack and def change. So take 390226, where the HP for the Terrapin is. The value at 390226 is 26 obviously, so I change it to 00. But when I do, they get much higher damage, higher speed and all of my attacks miss. I mess around with it, and it's multiple stats that change. Then I change it to 28 and I do big damage on them, they do none on me, and they have loads of hp.
What's going on there?

Odd. The value at 390226 for me is 26, and it seems to be normal. I know I didn't modify 390026 because its nothing but 00s over there.

Eh? The friend who told me about this place doesn't have an account here. He just checked it out and told me that I should come here if I want to improve my ROM hacking skills.

Excellent! It works!

One last question before I let this thread die.

How do I get the pointers? For example,

"Unfortunately, that Hammer Bro you used is the wrong one (which is why there was no change) because according to the stats his speed is at a phenomonal 99.
The correct Hammer Bro byte is 1B (check the monster list).

Do the same procedure here...double it to get 36, then add to 390026 to get 39005C, his pointer (260C). Flip the bytes (0C26)."

How do you get 260C here?

And by the way, I don't know how I can repay you guys, but for one thing, I really did make the right decision in coming here ;p

I corrupted offset 392C00 to 3A2CFF and it messed up the battlefield. . .I don't know if you guys found this, but I'm just reporting it in.
