IntroductionTop
Hi, this is score_under, only Lvl 3 at the moment (lol).
Anyway, to start hacking pokemon, you will need a rom.
(I'm using pokemon Fire Red version.)
You can find a rom with this strange, enigmatic tool: Google

Now, after that brief intro, move on...


The ToolsTop

  • A brain
  • Advancemap
  • Elitemap
  • VisualBoyAdvance
  • The aforementioned rom.



Map hacksTop

Ok, time to begin a basic hack.
Open Advance Map and load your rom.
Choose "Sort by Map name" from the toolbar's drop-down menu.
Double-click "By Header"
Double-click "PALLET TOWN"
Double-click "PALLET TOWN (3.0)"

-----A BASIC MAP EDIT-----

So, you think Pallet Town is in desperate need of rain?
No?
Oh, well, let's give it some for the hell of it.

First, add some puddles using the tiles available (just about halfway down the scrollbar).
Next, so that the corners don't look so tacky, copy the next image by taking away most of the pale grass and changing the corners of the water.
Yes, it's quite a long job, but great for starting out.

(sorry for large filesize)

Now, to make it rain in-game.
Go to header view and set the weather to rain (or thunderstorm for extra drama).



Now, save the rom.

You can now test it in VisualBoyAdvance.

Success!

Script EditingTop
Go to event view in advancemap.
See that girl on the left? Click on her.
Now, press the SPACE finder on the toolbar, and click OK.
Mine got $71a23c as the first result.
Write it down.
Now, open Scripted (in the elitemap folder) and type 

#org 0x71a23c ' The number you wrote down
copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 4
copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 1
callstd 0x1
end


Now, click compile and save it to your rom.

Back in advance map, click the girl again and edit the script offset to what you wrote down.
Save and test.

Now, that girl gives you a pokeball instead of speaking to you!

Now, about that script:

copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 4
copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 1
callstd 0x1

It's not too complicated.

copyvarifnotzero 0x8000 4

This copies 4 (pokeball) into 0x8000 (item to give)

copyvarifnotzero 0x8001 1

This copies 1 into 0x8001 (amount of items)

callstd 0x1

"Got one* Poke ball"
*always says one, no matter what amount, but still gives you the right amount...

PS. Masterball's item ID is 1 (pokeball's is 4, greatball is 3, ultraball is 2)
Happy Hacking
