Sigh... I'm completely new to hacking, and so far the only thing I've managed to do right is to change the maps around on Pokemon Ruby. I used Advance Map to do this. I then downloaded Elitemap, but that seems really hard to use... It messes up sometimes, and then closes itself too.

Mainly I essentially need to kow how to:

# In Advance Map, I can edit the maps and rearrange buildings, create different paths etc.
I can also change the wild pokemon, and the name of the town etc. BUT... I need to
search and choose offsets (??? I have no idea what they are), and when I choose one at
random, or ask the program to search for me, It messes the game graphics up
Can anyone please explain to me what the hell an Offset is, what it does, and how it
affects the ROM??

# Script editing. GAH I use programs like A Text, and at one point it let me change the text of the game, and it worked perfectly!! But, only for the text events in Littleroot Town (the first town in the game). Also when I try to do that again, It just has nothing Empty text boxes where I previously edited text How does this work?

# Graphics editing. GAH AGAIN!! I have several programs and one called Pokepic, which brings up the pictures of the pokemon but doesnt have a built in sprite editor... I dont know how to edit the Pokemon's images.... Help anyone?


# Finally can someone just tell me the tools I need for:
- Edits Maps
- Edit Text
- Edit Pokemon Graphics
- Edit Trainers, Items and ETC Graphics
- Edit Events, Add Trainers, Items and the such like
- Edit basically everything else, so that I can make the game completely different story, pokemon, PLAYER, RIVAL, trainers, towns.... EVERYTHING.


Ok I'm not expecting anyone to come along and answer, but if you could maybe please answer at least one question if you know, I'd be forever grateful

Also if you want to email me, do it here (delete the die spam die part)- gary_hat@DIESPAMDIEhotmail.com

Offsets are blank space in the rom. You can search for it in a hex editor. It sounds like to me you have the old advance map, try updating.

# Script editing. GAH I use programs like A Text, and at one point it let me change the text of the game, and it worked perfectly!! But, only for the text events in Littleroot Town (the first town in the game).

You have to search for the text yourself. THE SEARCH BUTTON MIGHT HELP

# Graphics editing. GAH AGAIN!! I have several programs and one called Pokepic, which brings up the pictures of the pokemon but doesnt have a built in sprite editor... I dont know how to edit the Pokemon's images.... Help anyone?

UNLZ.gba and Tile layer Pro are mans best frends.

However, if your thread is vague, uninformative, and just taking up space, regardless of reason, it will be disposed of, as it causes confusion, takes up space, and contributes to the declining IQ over-all. If you think you can express your question well enough for others to be able to help you then by all means.

What does this mean in simple terms? Stupidity is killed on sight. Just post intelligently, surely that isn't so much to ask?


For the rest of them

Oh god. Don't do that. I'd rather see it die. As for this thread...reading the rules would have clearly prevented it

All the programs you have trouble with are generously documented. You are also break a ruole as DD pointed out. If you can't post correctly, don't bother to post.
