[geoalpha]

You are a fucking god among men, Kazo. I am forever in your debt.

[Kaphotics]

Nice job Kazo :D

Andibad, I am pretty sure those lines don't matter at all, that NPC does not walk anywhere so there are technically all 4 sprites there if you flip the leftfacing one right via symmetry.

That NPC doesn't move, so it doesn't have those sprites :)

BWOE - a/0/4/9
BWSE - a/0/7/2
BWTE - a/0/9/2 and a/0/9/3
BWME - a/1/8/0

It works! Thanks so much, Kazo! I've been waiting for this for months!
Editing the trainer battle sprites is gonna be such a chore since you can't scroll through them.

[aninymouse]

You've got to be kidding me. If Gen 4 editing EVER got this good, why... I... You know, all I can say is thank you. I'm shocked - and delighted - that you were willing to do this! :D

Wow. Just... wow. Amazing.

[Andibad]

OH MY GOD IS WORKING !!!!!!

is my video for replace Overworld sprite ++

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0vrT9ahDvg

is testing only for replace sprite, for pokemon + dialog is still progress :)

[metalflygon08]

I'm probally just stupid, but how do you work that compressor program?

I successflly edited Burgh's OW but I need to replace him and a few other Trainers with these

http://www.iaza.com/work/110412C/iaza15655156807400.png

A better, less flamboyant Burgh, a better Roughneck (because BW's scrwany ones fail), a better face clown, DPtHGSS trainers whose sprites look better than their BW counterparts, a flipped Cynthia, and a Striato GL triple Battle Team based on which one you would face, each 16 colors!

[Pedro250]

Hi,
I cant seem to be able to use you mugshot editor.
I get the file a/1/8/0 form the rom using NitroExplorer,
Then i load it on the editor.exe, extract all 44 file and LZ BATCH DECOMPRESS Them (the 000 - 0021 file).
Then i load the Mugshot editor and when i load the folder with the file, i get an error
Can you please post a tutorial how to use your tools, thanks.
Bye

Edit:
Before decompress i have 45 file on the folder (the a/1/8/0 file + 44 files from editor.exe)
After decompress i have 112 file on the folder (the a/1/8/0 file + 111 files from editor.exe)

[KazoWAR]

folder should only have uncompressed rgcnfiles 000- 021 and the rlcn files 022-044

[Pedro250]

folder should only have uncompressed rgcnfiles 000- 021 and the rlcn files 022-044

Thanks, it worked like charm

[Siam]

Does these tools help with the title screen?

[Kaphotics]

Does these tools help with the title screen?


BWME edits trainer mugshot sprites.
BWOE edits trainer overworld sprites.
BWSE edit front trainer battle sprites.
BWTE edits trainers and their Pokemon.

Does it even mention title screen in the first post?

[Andibad]

KazoWar, i need permission for create tutorial in POIN(Indonesia pokemon community) for editing sprite and trainer editor :)
you tool make more easy, speed than before and also i always write a credit in my article.
Anyway these tools can viewer/replace another btx/narc file?
I was found pokemon sprite (animated), kazowar, can enable minimaze, big window for you tools? Because sprite is too small to view. Thank you kazo, your tools no have bug for me.

Oh kazowar, you can give me a source code for these tools to me via PM? (is just for study how to edit sprite, also i translate to indonesia)

[Andibad]

- 0x10 for lz77 type 10
- 0x11 for lzSS type 11
- another can view in their website

type 10, you can found in title, logo screen, ect. Some mugshot sprite. (tools: kiwi.ds, crystal tile, codec Lzss ds)

Type 11, is in Trainer sprite, btx, and another sprite (tools: crystal tile but just uncompressed, codec lzss ds)

[KazoWAR]

Back sprites are in same format as front sprites, and BWSE can edit those too :)

a/0/7/3 Back Sprites.

Andibad the sprite looks small its just a preview so tool wont be so large. you cna export image to orginal size and can look closer at it if you need.

here is source for the sprite programs http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3706406/Files/Sprite%20Tools%20src.rar

[Andibad]

Thank you kazo.

Yeah kazotools + hex editor + crystaltile2 + photoshop + PTXT + 3D viewer and editor (3D Max + blender), and converter tools + my complete list file ROM= is my tools to hack game Pokemon BW.

Your tools are make me more easy editing than before :)

[RobbieNewton]

Don't suppose anyone has a handy folder with OTHER mugshots available. I.e. Red, Steven etc? I could try editing, but I dunno how good I would be. Suppose I should try. Edit, found them on Spriter's Resource. The R/S/E sprites are gonna be the hard ones but it will be fun. Don't think you mentioned it in readme, but it would be helpful for me to know that for the mugshot editor, the image needs to be 128x64 pixels. For example, I replaced Hilbert with Gold.

[Andibad]

Is not for mugshot editor, other sprite can viewed by this tools (modified)

[RobbieNewton]

For the mugshot, I have been using Shauntal as a test subject, switching her with Lance. However, when I go to fight her, it freezes up. How do I remedy this? I believe I have done everything correctly

[Andibad]

See my video, after edited with kazo tools, is automatic saved, so compressed sprite (second) by used 0x11 (LZSS type 11) if not compressed game will freeze or no running. For mugshot used 0x10

[RobbieNewton]

Hmm, cheers. Also, Andi, you've been using this. Is there any quick way to decompress the BWSE files? I would rather not go through all of them just to look for Shauntal.

[Andibad]

Hmm, cheers. Also, Andi, you've been using this. Is there any quick way to decompress the BWSE files? I would rather not go through all of them just to look for Shauntal.

used batch tools, you can found in gbatemp, but is just support 0x10 and 0x11.....

I listing like this :

http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4631/snag0016.jpg

don't uncompressed rlcn file!

[RobbieNewton]

Thank you. Just used the Overworld, so now I have Lance on the Overworld. Now it's Sprite time. I thank you Andi for your help, and most of all Kazo for these tools. Later on, I shall use a text editor, and spend ages with the text, and stuff, fully replacing the E4 with a round of champions

[Andibad]

But now i wondering how to convert dls to sbnk, if kazo can create a converter tools for sbnk. is can help many people to change theme song of champion, but for now i just can replace and moving only, can't convert dls into sbnk :/ yeah

[RobbieNewton]

Indeed. Hmm, now, I am no artist, so they will not be the best, but would anyone like me to post my mugshots for the Hoenn Gym Leaders, E4 and Champ (Steven of course) when I have done them? Will be working on them today and tomorrow.

Sprite Editing - Last 2 sets are, from the last, Hilda, and Hilbert, respectively. The one before that is one of the Subway Bosses. Is anyone able to locate me the E4 Members?

[aragornbird]

Here is an easy way to locate the entries for the battle sprites:

This sprite sheet (http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonblackwhite/sheet/34021) lists all the sprites in order that they appear in the narc.

Now my question:

Where are the XTransciever sprites located? The ones with the close up headshots of the characters. Can BWSE edit those as well?

[Andibad]

Maybe in this narc :
a/0/2/8
a/0/2/9
a/0/3/0
a/0/3/3
a/0/3/6
a/0/3/9
a/0/5/0
a/0/7/1
a/1/0/2
a/0/9/4
a/1/4/1

all XTransciever content
is c-gear content, sorry i not in my computer. I in my school, after i going to home i will replay for Xtransciever sprite.

EF is not at one row. 81, 84-90 (maybe)(i not remember for all sprite content location, i just create list for that in my computer) include alder.

[aragornbird]

What about a/1/3/1 ---> [Character Artworks]? Could that be it?

[Andibad]

Maybe. But now i at school :(
i can't see my list (sprite and data as i know in my research both BW, J or U)
you can see used console tool for sure.

[Andibad]

What about a/1/3/1 ---> [Character Artworks]? Could that be it?

a/1/7/2 --> Live caster ? ( i not remember for english name yet)

[Oxnite]

I have a question about this.

All images have a palette, right?
Say I want to edit a Mugshot. Every sprite consists of... 16 colors? Is that true or am I completely wrong?
Anyway, saying that each sprite has 16 colors, when I want to add a new sprite, can that sprite have 16 new colors? Does this program automatically change the color palettes?

Sorry if this question is too obvious.

[Bidoofguy]

Where can you find the sprites for when you use Fly? I've managed to replace Black with Red (well, everything except the 'balancing' sprites, since I don't have any sprites for that, and it's only used on one route, anyway), but whenever you use Fly, he turns into Black. Same thing happens with the animation before each of the E4 members. He turns back into Red when the animations are done, but it's kinda bugging me.

Also, what sprite does the Trainer Card use? I tried raplacing Black's sprite with Red's, but Black is still on the card.

[Andibad]

You can see my list.

For heroe heroies have many sprite.

for back sprite is have spesial structure than normal sprite like frontsprite, you must replace i don't know i think is just replace/edited 4 file! not 2 file only

is animate sprite not a normal sprite...

For BWSE can edit anything sprite, include a/0/0/4

yeah same as backsprite trainer XD

[theSLAYER]

Erm, any guides on how to use your tools to edit sprites?

[Andibad]

is easy theSLAYER.... kazo tools is make me more easy replacing file on narc, reinsert image into narc file, yeah is great tools make me more speed editing sprite than before...

[Oxnite]

After compressing the files again, I have to create a new Narc with kiwi.ds, right?

Whenever I create the new narc, this new file is about 282 MB large. That can't be right.
What am I doing wrong?

These are my final steps when editing the Mugshots:
- I use 'LZ Batch Compress' to compress the first 21 mugshot files
- I get 21 files with the '.rgcn.lz' extension; I delete this extension to get the original files
- My files are called like this now: mugshot_000, mugshot_001 and so on
- Except for the last files, they are called mugshot_022.rlcn, mugshot_023.rlcn and so on
- I now have one folder with all of these mugshot files
- I use the 'Make Narc File...' of kiwi.ds to create a new narc file of the mugshots
- I select the mugshots folder as the 'Source Files Folder'
- Do I have to select 'Include File Name Table?' I don't select it
- Then I click 'OK'. A New narc file appears named mugshots (the name of the maps my mugshots were in).
- The new narc file is 282 MB (295.805.184 bytes) big!!

EDIT: Sorry, I already found the answer. Somehow kiwi.ds isn't working right in several Folders, so I recommend you to place the folders you're using on the Desktop, to edit them there. This way, I didn't get an error or big .narc files, instead everything worked fine.

[Andibad]

@Oxnite : i working, not on desktop....... my recommend don't put anything data on desktop... but is up to you .....

[Oxnite]

I don't work on the desktop, but I sometimes move files to the desktop, otherwise the ds editor kiwi doesn't recognize certain files.

yeah same as backsprite trainer XD

So the back sprites are different to edit?
I did the same directions as it says for the front sprites.
These directions also apply for the back sprites?
Everytime I insert them into the game, it freezes. :(

[mrznoopie]

I got a problem when I put my sprite in it scattered what should I do to make it normal in the game

maybe is not match on ncer file? but i not get this problem ~

[PokéDani]

I want to use the application BWME only that there is a problem! When I open the application NitroExplorer2 and extract the narc (a/1/8/0), it works. But when I open the application editor.exe and open the narc who ask, does not work! How do I do ???!!! If anyone has a video to explain, show me!
When i open .narc that says: "Could not open file... Unsupported file format."

[IAL32]

Have you decompress LZ files? Cause i do not have this problem.

[MarinoKadame]

I'm probally just stupid, but how do you work that compressor program?

I successflly edited Burgh's OW but I need to replace him and a few other Trainers with these

http://www.iaza.com/work/110412C/iaza15655156807400.png


A better, less flamboyant Burgh, a better Roughneck (because BW's scrwany ones fail), a better face clown, DPtHGSS trainers whose sprites look better than their BW counterparts, a flipped Cynthia, and a Striato GL triple Battle Team based on which one you would face, each 16 colors!

Can't wait to see Drayden and Iris double battle one. Just like you have done with the elemental trio.

I found this for the VS picture.
http://nyjee.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2qmvon
Do not use these without asking the original author. Since it's considered as stealing it.

[k1d]

Hi, im trying to use the battle sprite editor and when i import the image it scrambles the pixels and stuff, i know you've said its because it needs to be less then 16 colors, but i've been trying constantly for LONG periods of times a day to trim the edited sprites to 16 colors and everytime i count the colors and it appears less than 16 or exactly 16 i still get the messed up image. Any suggestions?
i've looked carefully at all shades of all colors im aware of but if anyone can find any reason they wont work...:
874787488749

[Delta Blast Burn]

the transparency has to be the first color in the pallette.

[k1d]

the transparency has to be the first color in the pallette.
Oh ok, thanks. But is it supposed to and up looking like this? cause when i import it this is what it turns out like:
8750

[Andibad]

If you using paint, maybe is you will get this problem, try use program have feature : layer like paint.net / gimp / photoshop / another software ~
don't use new image, you just edit image was export from BWTE / kazo tools. remember every ncgr have ncer, narn, script, ect so don't put you image is not have same coordinate from original image~

[Skyownsyou]

Im needing some help with BWSE... alot
http://i52.tinypic.com/2yull6r.png
thats what I get when I try it =[ HELP!

[k1d]

You need to decocompress the rgcn file with Codec LZSS first.

[k1d]

I Have started using photoshop for making a transparent background, and have been successful with the backgriund but still get a scrambled image. Maybe i'll wait for a possible update ot something before using it again.

[Skyownsyou]

You need to decocompress the rgcn file with Codec LZSS first.
The thing is, is the one without any file name the rgcn??
Ok I got it mostly.. But I could only figure out the trainer sprite...
I cant find the rgcn for cilan could you give me a number if possible
EDIT: I tested it with the main character and I almost got it.. its giving me some scribbles in the torso area

Well thank you but is just BWSE, i have plan to edit sprite in all type.

type 1 : no using compression and no encrypted file
type 2 : using compressed 0x10 and how to identified is compressed or not
type 3 : using compressed 0x11 and how to identified is compressed using this type or not
type 4 : edit BTX file~
type 5 : edit encrypted file~

BWSE is can edit type 1 and type 2/3 (must decompress first).
BWOE is can edit another btx file but if narc file is have another format (not only btx, it not work)
BWME actually is work type 1,2,3

for type 1 and 2 is can editable with crystaltile 2 like logo (is using type 2), ect ...

hm yeah you video is for type 2, but my video is using my language, and not english, sorry ...

i dislike you using on desktop, my method is organized but is need time..... but is best for me to organized another file and not for sprite~

Well, for method 2 i use editor.exe, is simply and fast with my desktop organizing, cause so i can extract specify files(the 2 type compressed)with Lz Batch Decompress.

YOU ARE AN ANGEL
But i not promise since i have problem in my connection :/, it not this june, maybe on july. in POIN (Pokemon Indonesia Comunity), i was explain pokemon data in this week) , and my next plan is editing sprite, with video (for easy to explain step by step), yeah sorry if i not upload it :/

for now you can see IAL32 video, is look working for sprite~

kiwi.ds is for 0x10 only and not 0x11 (but i not sure)
0x11 is can decompressed using other tools (i was found many tools for handle this type)

0x11 is can decompressed using other tools (i was found many tools for handle this type)

I know kiwi.ds is only for type 2(x10)indeed i use that for 0x10 compressed. For example, the BW Logo is x10 compressed, i use kiwi.ds-->Lz Batch Decompress and select the folder wich have only the 0x10 compressed files.

For 0x11 i use the following file:
Codec LZSS DS.exe (http://d333ous2e5qt30.cloudfront.net/09dd179c166908c15e6af76918c9289bCodecLZSSDS.exe)
Can you tell me another programs wich can decompress 0x11? Thanks

[boktor666]

Hello people, i have some troubles using the BWSE and the BWME tool (others work perfect)

-Whenever i open the SE and load the rgcn file, and rlcn files, i get a black screen with weird color dots on it..
-Mugshot editor just gives an error.. Simply won't let me load the files (I belive I decompressed using crystal tile2)

So what do I do? I have a awesome hack planned for the future, but i need to get this fixed, else I won't be able to continue, since I have the overworlds ready already for most characters.. please help :C?

(BTW, im using Europe roms for black and white.. is this a problem?)

[Andibad]

1. crystal tile is support 0x10 and 0x11 , can edit 0x10 but weird if is file using 0x11, so don't edit with crystal tile if file is compressed with 0x11 / 0x40.
2. mugshot sprite is using 0x10 so decompressed first, is same as logo sprite... so is can using crystal tile2.
3. pokemon sprite, trainer sprite/backsprite is using 0x11, almost sprite on BW is using this type, yay not all sprite can handle with kazo tools, crystaltile is weird to re-coordinate ==".
4. ROM Pokemon BW E/U/J/D/I/ect is same so is can editable since is same sprite (except for text/sprite containing text).

hm i was found http://code.google.com/p/puyotools/ , maybe is usefull (is not for pokemon game, but is good tools to see archive format on NDS ROM). yeah is can insert/export file from narc, pokemon BW narc file is fine with this tools, and is GUI, another tools is http://code.google.com/p/dsdecmp/ is Commandline tools

Is support Compression:


CNX
CXLZ
LZ00
LZ01
LZ11 (LZ77 format 11)
LZ77/LZSS
PRS

Also archive :

Yeah is fine for me for batch compress /decompress, but i not always used this tools.

[boktor666]

Hmm, i still seem to have troubles using the mugshot editor... It keeps giving me an error about something being outside the matrixborder stuff. looks like this, and tried decompressing till my arse fell off.

I simply cant get it to work, so i gave up for today..

[Andibad]

really?

before kazo create this tools, i just using crystaltile2 for editing sprite no compressed, compressed with 0x10. after kazo create this tools, in my first experiment is totally working without problem you countered, I can't read you error message, maybe is from net framework.

1. is right you file is was decompressed ? kiwi.ds will decompressed some file in same location on kiwi.ds itselft. if not sure you can look up on HEX editor these file, you can indicate is compressed or not, is simple see 1st byte, if is 10/11/00 and will follow ncgr (in magic name) (yeah is based on narc header), is still compressed....
2. maybe you step is wrong?. a extract narc file from ROM using NitroExplorer2b, after there move narc file into kiwi.ds exe patch, see IAL32 video.
3. if you problem is only on compressed file you can using http://code.google.com/p/puyotools/ for only decompressed and compressed, remember not all file to decompressed, pallete file is not need to decompressed, kept it original. kiwi.ds always give a extension in some file, is no problem, you can give a extension with ncgr (for indicate is not compressed), NARN / NCGR is always compressed.
4. if done compressed again mug shot sprite with 0x10 and not 0x11 it will freeze. OW/trainer/pokemon/backsprite is seem compressed with 0x11. pokemon games always using 0x10 / 0x11 and not compressed.
5. clearly you step, and please not using you desktop, i don't know why someone is fail, but i success replace with another sprite, i was editing some sprite on my new version (my mod version 3), i just confused help you because you not given a actual data / "how you get these error?". maybe is wrong , sorry because i don't know.

[Abacus]

I've been having some trouble trying to use the Sprite Editor to modify the pokemon in a/0/0/4. It seems that when you try to reinsert a .png - even if it's been unedited - it messes up the scripting which dictates which color from the palette goes in which location on the sprite.

I've also seen all of the locations of the different files in a/0/0/4 all mixed up (viewed via ConsoleTool), which results in the game crashing whenever you'd look at a pokemon.

[Andibad]

After pallete file is a new sprite... so pallete file is last file for some file, after pallete file is a next sprite, i think is have 7 file (if animated is need 7 file or more, yeah is not include alternative form, color like archeus, and ect....)


Bulbasaur is have 20 file on a/0/0/4, 3 ncgr file, 2 ncer file, 1 nanr file, 1 nmcr file, 1 nmar file, 1 script, it will repeat for backsprite file, and last file is 2 pallete file, is for shiny and normal, and is end for bulbasaur sprite file, total 20 file.... , nanr and ncgr is compressed with 0x11 so carefully for these file~, is same as front sprite trainer but is 7/8 file....

20 file is for normal pokemon, is was include female sprite~. pokemon like archeus, and another alternative form, is need more than 20 file, is on sprite or pallete, also ncer, nmar, script is always together...

[Abacus]

Good to know, Andi!

Has anybody ever actually successfully edited a pokemon's in-battle sprite? Here's what happens to me, step by step. I'll first extract all the files from a/0/0/4 into a folder. Then I'll use LZSS 0x11 decompression on the third NCGR file in a particular pokemon's "section." The third one after the previous pokemon's palette file. This contains a broken-up frontsprite that looks like picture number one.

I'll then decompress the corresponding backsprite - picture 2. I select the frontsprite's decompressed NCGR file and its corresponding NCLR palette with Kazo's BWSE. I get a working picture which I export as a .png - that's how I got the attached photos. I re-import the photo without so much as touching it in Paint or whatever. Then, still in the BWSE, I open the NCGR that contains the same pokemon's backsprite. Picture 3 is the result.

Has anybody found a way around this?

Please help :3
You can get it by following these directions
1. open up editor.exe or NitroExplorer.exe (I will use NitroExplorer)
2. Load up the rom
3. go to a/0/4/
4. once you get to that part you will see multiple files. Choose 9 and extract it anywhere.
5. rename the file you extracted 9.narc
6. open the Overworld Editor
7. load up the 9.narc file
8. Do your part extracting pictures and edit them
9. save it
10. Go to your nitroexplorer
11. load up your rom
12. go back to a/0/4/
13. go to reinsert on the nitroexplorer and browse the 9.narc file

I actually need help on this one. I keep on getting Just in time errors and they're so annoying. please help

[Paced98]

never mind got it to work

[Paced98]

Now can anyone tell me what to do when we're done because I don't even know if I compress them with the batch decompress or decompress. So can anyone help me on this simple question?

[Paced98]

for BWSE I have trouble finding a good Brendan battle sprite and can anyone help me

[Bidoofguy]

I'm having a minor problem with the mugshot editor. I only replaced one sprite, and it works, but for some reason the other mugshots turn glitchy, even though I never even edited them. If I decompress the NARC I made, they're fine when I look at them in the editor. The problem only appears ingame. I've tried using a new NARC file, and it gave me the same result. Same thing happens when I use a different sprite.
http://i54.tinypic.com/5u4axl.pnghttp://i54.tinypic.com/8x3t00.png

[Andibad]

1. is on no$gba? yeah no$gba is glitched so don't use this emulator for testing =="
2. anyway if is bigger than original file is you problem :p

[Bidoofguy]

Actually I used Desmume to take those screenshots. It looks like that when I played it on a flashcard, too. :\

And I just checked the filesize. It's actually slightly smaller than the original. Not sure if that makes a difference. I know games can get really fussy about things like that.

Also, Lenora's mugshot uses 18 colors. I'm guessing that might have something to do with it? Burgh, Cheren and Cilan all work fine, and they use 16 colors. I'm not sure why her mugshot uses 18 colors, though. Bianca's sprite uses 18 colors, too, and it has the same problem.

[Paced98]

I noticed that too it's 18 colors

[Andibad]

that problem is not on pallete but is file size....

1. check ncgr again, after you insert on narc, try open in consoletool for checking ...
2. if still get that problem, check again is was compressed by 0x10 and NOT! 0x11 ...
3. check pallete size, all nclr file is 552 byte, if is over than this, is simply get glitched ...
4. check ncgr size, all ncgr file is 8.06 KB (8,256 bytes/size on disk 12,288 bytes) if is bigger it will glitched (need repack narc - DON'T use crystal tile for replace sprite- use alphanarc for reinsert), bigger is no problem but i think is same problem on moveset/ pokemon trainer data it will broken ....

if is still glitched, you must repack it (not reinsert on narc)

[Paced98]

I just edited Cherens mugshot and now bianca's right arm is glitchy and i did compress it 0x10.
I will try to use alphanarc to replace narcs next time

[Andibad]

if is still not working, try repack new narc, because is always working (for me, but i don't know on you side is work or not)

[GalacticBoss46]

I do have a small but confusing problem with BWOE. I am trying to replace an image that has 7 sprites on it with one that has 12 sprites. It does replace, but it cuts off 5 sprites.

Now when I try it on the emulator, if I make a character face left, it doesn't, it stays looking down with a different position (walking-down position). The only sprite that works normally is the one that looks "up". When I put the original sprite back (the one with 7 sprites displayed), it does turn left (or any other direction), even if it doesn't have the remaining 5 sprites displayed on BWOE. Why does it not change direction when I import the image that once had 12 sprites but now has 7 sprites?

However, when I change an image that has 12 sprites with another image that has 12 sprites, it does change perfectly. But I do want to change the image of the one with 7.

On a side note, do you or anyone else know how to change trainer names in BWTE?

[Blaquaza]

Could you please make a .zip version of this? For some reason, .rars don't work on my computer, they open with Picture Manager...

[IAL32]

Install http://7-zip.org/ on your computer. Then decompress the rar file with that

[Blaquaza]

It turns out that .exes also don't work... Only A-Map does.

[Andibad]

@Blaquaza:

rar / 7z / zip / tar / gz / zipx (is for power zip 2011 format) all are archive format by deafult supported by seven zip, winrar, ultimatezip, wezip, and another tools...

you just click right on you mouse > open with > select winrar/winzip/ ect, you can see on http://www.softpedia.com/get/Compression-tools/ , oh yeah peazip is powerfull too)

also this tools request net framework .. 4 (if you using win XP, you must install net.framework 4 ... - i don't know is support win XP...), and a-map is using delphi so is different IDE...

[Blaquaza]

Okay, thank you very much. I only have Winrar, though, and my faulty computer has a glitch that keeps popping up with 'Open With' whenever I press the open button, unless it's for Irfanview.

[smartguy_alec]

ANyone knows where I can find B/W(Gen V)-quality Hoenn Gym Leader/Elite Four/Battle Frontier Brains battle sprites?

[TheKrosver97]

ANyone knows where I can find B/W(Gen V)-quality Hoenn Gym Leader/Elite Four/Battle Frontier Brains battle sprites?
Do you mean battle sprites that look a bit better and more like 5th gen? You'll have to make those sprites yourself.

[Kindrindra]

Umm... I was able to get the Trainer Editor working, thanks to your tutorial on Youtube, but I was wondering were the NARC files for the other three editors are located in the rom. ;^_^

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm just an idiot. Finally figured out what those _/_/_/_ addresses mean.

[dragon1mst]

Here's a video I made in which I used KazoWar's tools. Any constructive feedback is appreciated, and if you want to skip to the interesting parts go to 0:20, 1:20, 2:30, 3:45.

can anyone tell me why i can't use the Codec LZSS DS.exe and NitroExplorer2b.exe?(when i try open this what that pop up"Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this application")

[Greenbud]

Can anyone please tell me where I can find BWSE 2.0? I would really appreciate it if someone told me!

[KazoWAR]

try downloading the updated version in original post. I updated some of the programs a while back, and updated the dropbox link, but i guess i didn't use dropbox for this thread and had to re upload the new file.

[KazoWAR]

Added B2W2 narc locations for BWSE and BWOE, updated BWOE to work with B2W2, also added BWWE (BW Wild Pokemon Editor) with support for BW and B2W2

[Drayano]

To think I was literally about to start making some changes to B2W2. :x

Thank you, Kazo!

[foshu]

Any idea why my already edited (hex edited) narc crashes BWWE? I think it might be just mine, since the program seems to work fine on a clean narc.
My edited narc works fine in game, so I don't really know what's up.

Also, Kazo, you think you could include the static sprites for Pokemon in BWSE?

[KazoWAR]

just updated bwse to include static sprites, also that narc is damaged, i am surprised it not causing the game to crash.

[humanshoe]

Kazo how do you use dsdecmp?

[KazoWAR]

my programs use dsdecmp automatically. if you want to use it for your own reasons, try using dsdecmp -help

[humanshoe]

Thanks. I also have a question for bwse, i unpacked with tinke and opened the folder in bwse and the sprites came out weird. Like this http://puu.sh/Hql7

[KazoWAR]

Thanks. I also have a question for bwse, i unpacked with tinke and opened the folder in bwse and the sprites came out weird. Like this http://puu.sh/Hql7

fixed and uploaded.

[humanshoe]

thanks works perfect!

[humanshoe]

Also since all sprites are animated now, is it going to be possible to put non animated sprites in?

[KazoWAR]

just over write all the files for a sprite with a sprite from BW and then edit the image, and it should be static trainer sprite like in bw

[Ykr1113]

Kazo I have a problem with BWOE when i replace an image of a sprite even with one from the game I get this and when I save the narc and open it back up it stays the same as the original pic :( Please help all your other tools work fine. Thanks for the time and effort ! :)

[KazoWAR]

Are you trying to insert sprite of the same size?

[Ykr1113]

Are you trying to insert sprite of the same size?
It has to be the same size ? I don't remember that from BW 1 , thanks ill check it out .

[SugarBaby]

When I put in my 8.narc file which i extracted from my bw2 rom, I used bwoe to edit sprite number 209 which is the bw2 male overworld. I USED 16 BIT COLOR and THE SPRITE SHEET IS THE SAME LENGTH AND WIDTH AS THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!! When import the image of the sprite sheet I want to edit, the sprite disapeared from sprite number 209 and it for somewhat reason messed up the sprite above it [sprite number 208] That is the 8th gym leader of BW2 sprite Shizui and completley messed up his sprite!!!! I wasnt even editing him. Can someone shed some light on this problem PLEASE!!!!:mad:

Picture 1: is the pic were i put in my sprite sheet 16 bit color and same length and size, when i reopen the narc file i just edited sprite number 209 turn bank

Picture 2: is the pic where it messed up the sprite above 209 which is sprite number 208 [gym leader shizui]

[KazoWAR]

are you using 1.2? if you used 1.1 then you will need to use a new narc.

[SugarBaby]

are you using 1.2? if you used 1.1 then you will need to use a new narc.

I got it to work HORAAY :D now the back sprite lol

[SugarBaby]

Umm Can anyone tell me how to hack backsprites in a series of STEPS. I am not new to sprite hacking its just that its bw2 lol :p

1hr later: nevermind got it :D

[humanshoe]

Thanks! never thought about that

[theSLAYER]

Is there any way to change the pokemon's present animation?
Just asking :D

EDIT:
Thanks for the awesome program!
I've managed to use it! :D

[Master Victini]

can you make an update to bwme for bw2?
the narc file is a/2/6/7
thx in advance :P

[Johnbss]

Is there any way to use this with black 2 and white 2 or not yet?

It would really simplify my project to create a "real challenge mode" patch for black 2 and white 2, to make offlineplay at least a bit as fun as online duels, and to try to create some challenges for lvl 100 pokemon team owners.

[Flintiex]

These are great tooks Kazo but i'm having a problem with the Sprite editor.
Basically for my hack I wanted to replace all the male sprites with the shiny sprites to add more diversity between the pokemon genders. However, after going through every single pokemon and replacing the sprites while having the male box ticked and not the female box. Both male and female sprites are shiny :O What can I do to fix this?

[KazoWAR]

all the different sprites work off 2 palette files, shiny and non shiny.

[Johnbss]

noone knows if the trainer editor works with black 2 white 2?

[Master Victini]

im having some problems with bwme please help the narc wasin my last post here

[SugarBaby]

Hey Kazo did you update the tools so that you can hack mugshots [vs.sprites], and trainer front sprites in BW2?

[foshu]

also that narc is damaged, i am surprised it not causing the game to crash.

Actually, it wasn't damaged per se. I don't know why I didn't spot it earlier, but I when I went to compress the files into a narc, I was storing the filenames. Apparently the game didn't care, but now I make sure to not let it happen again. In short, my new narc does work with your tool. Also, I figured this out a while ago, just wanted to give you the heads up.

[cloud11010]

Does BWTE work to edit trainers from B2W2 also?

[foshu]

No, not yet.

[Luxio]

I served a lot of tools. Although you need to update you BW2 or create an editor of initials or stats.
Your BWSE not working. Narc bag from inside the BW2, unzip with Tinke and open the unzipped folder. Eventually the program Bwse tells me:
DsDecmp descompress failed to the file

What I can do? :confused:

[aninymouse]

These tools only really work with BW1. They aren't meant to work with BW2.

[Drayano]

The trainer format for B2W2 is identical to BW so BWTE works to an extent, but the names don't correspond, you can't access every single file since there's more than in BW and you won't be able to load files of any of the new trainer classes or the Gym Leaders. It's obviously not built for B2W2 yet (and I suspect Kazo will wait for the English release so he can get the trainer names correct) but it is usable to a degree.

[foshu]

To add to what Drayano said, BWSE also works perfectly with BW2.

[Luxio]

I think I discovered BWSE failure, failure was my computer did not recognize the RGCN and took by. Bin to unzip Tinke so remained in that format, which takes another decompression and change the extension. So the only solution would be for any of you and I come over the 4.narc descompress with Tinke to download.

Please someone pass me try it. :creep:

[Net_Bastard]

So I know that BWOE and BWSE are compatible with B2/W2. I did a lot of sprite editing in B/W for personal use, so I was intrigued. I was wondering if anyone knew what file the overworld sprites and back/front sprites are located for B2/W2, because they aren't located in the same NARCs that the B/W sprites are (which would be /root/a/0/4/9, whereas in B2/W2 this isn't the case). I'd try all of the files, but that's a long and repetitive process, especially since Nitro Explorer can only extract individual files and not complete folders.

[Luxio]

For when the next update?
Add support a BWME with BW2?

[jhoon1]

Here are some tools I made for B/W ROM hacking.

BWME edits trainer mugshot sprites.

BWOE edits trainer overworld sprites.

BWSE edit front/back trainer battle sprites.

BWTE edits trainers and their Pokemon.

*new*
BWWE edits wild Pokemon encounter tables.

Added narc locations for BWSE and BWOE.

Updated BWOE for B2W2 Support.

Updated BWSE for static sprite support.

*Fixed a bug in BWSE that caused trainer sprites to load as if they where static pokemon sprites.

*Fixed a bug in BWOE that caused the program to not insert new sprites into B2W2 narc correctly.
I`ve discovered the location of the mugshots,I hope it helps!
narc bw 2 = a/2/6/7

[SugarBaby]

BWTE works for BW2 but only only up to an extent
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR8bgUaIK2Q&list=UUM0LyihU-aiP5H5FYEXzVlw&index=2&feature=plcp

[aninymouse]

Hahaha, nice idea! I always thought it sucked how Alder got the shaft. This is a nice idea! Gotta admit, though, I might've chosen someone other than Cynthia since you can already battle her every day, anyway. Still, nice work.

[SugarBaby]

THANK YOU :]

[Kaillys]

I'm having trouble with BWOE. I made the rom and it works fine with the emulator, but it doesn't work on my R4.

[Reptillian]

Hm, so far I've made every tool work except BWME. The portraits in preview have their palletes twisted for some reason..

Everything works well on my R4 so far. (BW)


EDIT: Lol, it worked. I opened it this time with kiwi instead of Nitro explorer. Fuck hell yes.

Thank you Kazo, this is amazing.

[gcoradini]

help , "when I open the folder appears "dsdecmp failed to decompress the file"

Could someone help me with 1 tutorial or anything

[andrewmyles]

Your programs are great. Eagerly waiting for New trainer editor!

[bigtukker]

seconding that ^^

[Reptillian]

Reminds me- In the original BW, there's the issue of the protagonist trainer sprites that appear in the trainer card, the one that appears when you start a new game (White outline), and the one overworld sprite in the save file selection. Any word on those?

EDIT: I was playing today and I noticed, in the ferris wheel event on BW when you find N, the sprite riding it is still the original one. And for some reason it manages to crash my game when a battle starts.

Halp...?

[GalacticBoss46]

Editing mugshots have always been my problem. The previous update for BWME, as far as I'm concerned, always gave me color glitches. This recent update of BWME, however, doesn't even display the images with the correct palettes. Is there any way I can use the previous update of BWME?

[spektr]

Hi. After countless attempt at searching (what seems like) the whole World Wide Web and trying on my own, I can't for the life of me make BWSE 2.2 work (for BW2). None of the tutorials online use the latest version, so I'm pretty much stuck. I've gotten to the part where I use Tinke to unpack the desired folder, but (as I believe someone else in this thread mentioned previously) I keep getting the "DSDecmp failed to decompress the file" message each time I press the "Select folder" button.

Where am I failing at this? Any hand-holding step-by-step tutorial would be beyond amazing.

[Abeas]

I second that. There is a lot of tutorials for BWSE for changing the backsprite of your character, BUT, this is only for the 1.0 version...and now we have the 2.2 which is completly different, this is troubling me, can someone by any chance post a download link for the 1.0 version of BWSE please ?

[Delta Blast Burn]

BWSE 1.0

[Abeas]

Works like a charm ! You're a lifesaver, thanks a lot.

[spektr]

Hello! What data you use for BWTE for pokemon white 2? Please..

[Markiss]

I really like these tools, they helped me a lot in making my last Pokemon hack. I'm really looking forward to a trainer Pokemon editor for pokemon BW2...does anyone know where I can find a 'proper' one? I looked everywhere on the Internet and on the forum here, and all I have found was to use BWTE here to be able to edit only some of the BW2 trainers....unfortunately it doesnt include the gym leaders.

[AlexisSanchezMadrid]

Does the BWTE work for Black 2 and White 2?

[Markiss]

Does the BWTE work for Black 2 and White 2?

it only works for most of the route / cave etc trainers. Since BW2 has 800ish trainers and BW has 600ish, theres about 200 that you cant edit. unfortunately this includes the E4 and gym leaders. thats my main problem right now. It's possible to edit them all via hex, but Im having trouble finding which hexes control which aspects of the trainers and their pokemon.

Nice. The BWTE didn't work on White 2 when I tried to use it. I mean, I couldn't hack ANY trainer because when I tried to, it crashed.

[PellOfTheTundra]

For some reason, when I try to use BWOE on a-0-4-8 for BW2, the only two options available are Open Narc and Save Narc... Nothing otherwise shows up. Does anyone have a clue wat do?

[Exterminator Cola]

I'm having a problem with BWSE. Whenever I select a narc folder, it says "DSDecmp failed to decompress the file." I'm attempting to change the player character's overworld sprite. What am I doing wrong?

use bwoe, bwse is for the pokemon and trainer batte sprites.

also new upload. i added a b2w2 mugshot editor, it more of a test. it works but not in a fully user friendly state.

[Exterminator Cola]

use bwoe, bwse is for the pokemon and trainer batte sprites.
Oh, of course. Thank you very much!

[Exterminator Cola]

Can I use BWTE to change the names of trainers?

[KazoWAR]

No, use PPTXT

[PSY]

When will you make an update for BWTE for B2W2?

[Exterminator Cola]

When will you make an update for BWTE for B2W2?

Speaking of which, do any of these tools work with B2W2 aside from BWWE?

[PKMNTrainerNick144]

Well, I don't know if this helps, Kazo, but I believe these are the NARCs for BW2 Trainer editing:

Trainer Data: a/0/9/1
Pokemon Data: a/0/9/2

Don't know if anyone else figured that out already but hopefully this'll help you come up with a BWTE with BW2 support, whenever you get to it.

[Kaphotics]

Had the source for BWTE and just expanded the Name/Class table it takes from.

Since B2W2 has more trainers and different Names -> Trainer #, I just left it without names for class & names for trainers for now.

edit: attachment deleted, see later post for the real deal

[FatefulEncounter]

^thanks! but i'm curious, how does Challenge Mode or Easy Mode factor in to this? For instance, gym leaders in challenge mode have one more pokemon than they normally do and their moves/items are different as well. Do they have three different profiles for each of the difficulty levels?

[PSY]

I need help D:


I removed the back sprite of Nate and I put the back sprite of Hilbert, but when I fight with a Trainer or Pokémon and Hilbert spear the Poké Ball appears a part of arm in the uper left. How I correct it?

i don't know why people (newbie) still not understand about that problem and not read all old comment and post ...

animation sprite is have 8 file if you want replace with another sprite you must replace that all file, not just nclr and ncgr file only...

http://s9.postimage.org/92o93rb9b/Picture1.png

main part of animation is nmar, nmcr, nanr, bin (is before nclr), ncer ... so you must replace that file too...

BWTE for Black 2 and White 2

http://i.imgur.com/pGuxJ.png


trdata: /a/0/9/1
trpoke: /a/0/9/2

Every Trainer Class (including Gen 1-4) named, with help from Drayano. New Icon by Drayano.

If you're wondering about how the game handles Challenge Mode:
For extra Pokemon, the game detects what mode you are playing with and will make you face an entirely different trainer file. Levels in game are adjusted (depending on mode) and will be different from what is programmed in these files.

If you have added more trainers to your game (you can call for a trainer beyond 813 with your own event scripts!), you can edit them with this expanded version (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12206225/pporg/BWTE%202%20~%201000.exe) up to 1000 trainers.

EDIT: Added Gender/Form/Ability editing.

[PKMNTrainerNick144]

This is outstanding!! Now I can finally development my hack of Black 2 called PKMN UltimateBlack 2! Greatly appreciated it... but you already figured it out or did my idea helped?

[FatefulEncounter]

oh, so basically this edits the normal version and challenge mode is stored elsewhere? i just wanted to be sure so that i play the right mode when changes are made. thanks!!!!

[Kaphotics]

No, it edits every trainer.

The game script engine just makes you face another trainer file if you play an expanded team (challenge mode only) opponent.
Levels that are programmed with this program are increased/decreased in game depending on the current mode.

If you are against Trainer X in Normal Mode, you'll face them at the programmed level. If you face Trainer X on CHALLENGE mode, their levels will be boosted. Etc.

[FatefulEncounter]

i see! also, after quickly sifting through the trainer list, i saw that the gym leaders start at 153 but also are found at 764. the differences between the two seem to match the pokemon differences between Normal and Challenge Mode. thanks for clearing things up!

[Tenshi96]

Yeah! Thanks! Kaphotics!

[Kaphotics]

Added Form/Gender/Ability editing and removed the "Unknown" for Pokemon. See my above post.

Unknown for Trainers determines AI difficulty, the lowest 3 bits determine that while I have no clue what the other bits do. Hugh has bit 5 and many have bit 8 toggled.

Edit: vvvvv haha yeah drayano was bitching about that so I reversed them :)

[FatefulEncounter]

thanks! i also appreciate the reorganizing of the trainer list so we can search for names

[Drayano]

I love your choice of words there =p

I think bit 8 is needed for triple battles so that the opponent doesn't attack their own Pokémon. A Triple Battle Ace Trainer has AI 135, which if you - 7 from the difficulty is 128.

There's a specific number for double battles too, but I forget what it is.

[Andibad]

There's a specific number for double battles too, but I forget what it is.

every battle mode is have own binary for AI....

btw why not using external file (like on PRC?) for list Kaphotics ? is better than recompiler again and again ....

if i have time, i will mod this tool too wkwkwkwk maybe not wkwkwkwk

[Kaphotics]

I'm just using whatever method Kazo had originally, and just improved it with the new list. ComboBox has a way where you can pre-define all the dropdowns with a list of stuff. I kinda like it more than an external .csv as it just makes 1 file.

I mentioned to Dray that there's a bunch of single trainers with the 8th bit flagged, so I don't believe that it's a no-teammate aggression flag. Might be a battle mode flag to prevent crits (saw that in BW), meh.

[Andibad]

after i see your sourcode.... actually is not 616 but 814.

http://s8.postimage.org/mbgj5uead/SNAG_0005.jpg

is bug from 1.1a, is not correct data is shown on editor (i was compare with hex, and netalzero trainer editor too). maybe just me only? i was tested on different computer with different os (XP,win7 and win8) is same result.

http://s7.postimage.org/ukv2n2r6j/SNAG_0006.jpg

i will check it later, maybe i can fix it ...

[Kaphotics]

It works for me, I was able to edit Colress's data and it came out fine in game. Be sure you have no extra files inside your trdata/trpoke folders.

Here's N.

http://i.imgur.com/23QTE.png

[Andibad]

no extra files inside your trdata/trpoke folders.

hm is not on extra files (it will ignore). just on file numbering. must 1_##1 my file is 1_1 (BWTE only read correctly if is 1_### 3 digit).

well now was correctly :

http://s1.postimage.org/sn358x1zj/SNAG_0007.jpg

(since i extract narc file from tinke XD), thanks for reply, i just why now is not working x_x i remember last i using this tool, is working.

[$D-Money$]

Hey. I am pretty familiar with these tools and I think that Kazo is awesome for making these.

The problem I am having With Black and White 2 is inserting the front sprites into the game.

I made sure the image of the rival is 16 bit colors and i insert it in the game. (This is the first image)

When I face the rival the images animation is all jumbled. (Second Image)

But then after i battle the rival the image looks fine (Third Image)

My question is how can I get the animation of the trainer sprite to work when I insert the image?

[Kaphotics]

Don't change up the layers and their positions in the image. The game animates the individual pieces based on their location in the sprite.

There's no animation for the third image so it just chooses the far right one.

[$D-Money$]

I'm a little confused. Should I copy and paste each part of my image over the image of the rival's sprite? Because what I was doing before was i just edited the image of Hilbert and then I pasted it over Hugh's front sprite.

[Kaphotics]

If you're using Hilbert's as a base sprite, you should really copy over his animations too. Hugh's are totally different.

afaik, the binary files located around the sprite (in the filetree) are what animates the sprite. So find Hilbert's animation files and overwrite Hugh's. You're kinda stuck with the requirement of having the animation, because nobody knows how to make the game just display the single (unanimated) image.

[$D-Money$]

Ok that makes sense... but how do I overwrite Hugh's animation with Hilbert's? Is there a specific tool I need to do that? Oh and what is the filetree and where is it?

[Kaphotics]

Use Tinke, and navigate to the proper area and find the sprite file. It's kinda hard to explain over a forum but it's easy to see if you just use Tinke

[$D-Money$]

Ok thanks I'll try

[$D-Money$]

Ok i don't know if I did this right. The first image shows what I think is the rival's file, 127

The second image shows what I think is Hilbert's file, 144

So what I did is I extracted both and then I clicked on Cambinar (Which I think means Change File)

I clicked file 127, then i clicked change file and I picked Hilbert's File 144. I did the same thing with Hilbert's.

But when I went to see if it worked in BWSE it said that it failed to decompress.

Did I even find the right files? Also I noticed that my Tinke only recognized 64% of the files..

[Kaphotics]

You just need to take the RCMN and RANM files for Hilbert and replace Hugh's with those.

[Andibad]

You just need to take the RCMN and RANM files for Hilbert and replace Hugh's with those.

file after RANM is important too, this file is a position for every oam is defined from ncer file.


How do i know which file is Hilbert's and which one is the rival's? Is Hilbert's 144 and the rival's 127? Because I was just guessing those were the files because they showed up in bwse like that

not on that file...

Ok i was finally able to figure out hilbert's file location and the rivals. I extracted the RCMN, RAMN, and

the file that came after both. I changed the files and then saw that nothing happend..

[Andibad]

because you just replace nmar and nmcr only, tinke is not support that format.

you should extract 2 ncgr (but is must compressed not on uncompressed ncgr) , narn, ncer, nmar, nmcr, and file before pallete file.

ncgr is for sprite models + nclr.
narn is for animation like move left right, spin , zip or other not moving ncer itselft.
ncer is cell resource, is spliting from ncgr file into a part models like arm, head or something like that.
nmar is like narn, but is for manage animation animate at all.
nmcr is like ncer, is manage all ncer is on front of...
last file is no have extension, is manage oam from ncer file on some coordinate on layer.

so you need replace that all file for replace animation sprite to make them have corrected animation.

for make them static, you need ASM hacking (if you want complete change the system for make them static), or create not set event on narn ,nmar and nmcr it will static like glitch "?" poekemon species.

[ArcticPrism]

How do I set forms for BW1? I'd use Zero's thing but it's really sensitive and always tells me my rom is broken when it clearly works fine in game.

[Jacusiek]

Is It possible to edit trainers, that are in Pokemon World Tournament? I tried to search them in BWTE 2, but they don't exist, so where are their files?

[Skarow]

Bwah, so I'm trying to replace Hugh all together. However, I do not want the animated sprite and instead just want the static sprite.
I have implemented it in BWSE, yet all that appears is nothing. http://puu.sh/1S1MX
(However, once the battle is over, the sprite appears http://puu.sh/1S266 The same for during in battle quotes. http://puu.sh/1S24I)
Also, the mugshot has some strange palette swap. (http://puu.sh/1S1Jz) Is there perhaps a way to fix these problems?

[Kaphotics]

The beginning of the battles use an animated sprite exclusively; that's why nothing shows up then. Static sprites aren't used for intros. Animations have to be figured out before you can have custom intro sprites.

No idea on the mugshot problem (haven't done anything related to them). I'd bet this issue has already been brought up in another post...

Actually, all my battles (as of 2013) take place in B2/W2. In BWTE there are several "no data" trainer slots. These "No data" slots either have no sprite animation or the old sprite animation that Cheren and N used in B/W. I use the same editing process that I showed with Red's battle, except with the "no data" set to the Trainer instead of "Red".

[KazoWAR]

just copy all the files used for a non animated spite into the slot of an animated one and then edit the image.

[KingDrapion]

just copy all the files used for a non animated spite into the slot of an animated one and then edit the image.

I have tried that and it still messes up. Though i have found a way to remove the animation, all you have to do is erase the sprite parts but leave the black box. You then replace the sprite on the right with your sprite. Only problem is that when inserted, it has an extra layer that is not supposed to be there, such as there will be an extra pixel line. This is the only way i know that works so far.

[OrrominGnome]

Scripting is complicated, not even I know how to add overworld events.

[Kaphotics]

It really isn't.

Easiest way to learn scripting is to look at preexisting scripts in game and internalizing the logic that they use. It's pretty simple "if->then" logic with commands doing the work.

Overworlds are easily add-able if you follow the structure that has been posted. Just decompile the overworld file into the header and each overworld category and it's easy. Assign a new overworld the sprite you have inserted with BWOE and you're good.

Not sure what you mean regarding Ice Beam, but to change the PokeMart vendors there's a certain narc file you have to change. All narc locations and their functions are in the B2W2 General ROM Info thread.

The only problem is that there's no program (yet) to edit and place overworlds, so it's time consuming to do via hex. PPRE will eventually have this function (similar to advance map)

[Peps_Project]

Thanks Kaphotics, but what are the programs that I can use to edit it? :cool:

Yet when I went to add an overworld sprite to the area in a location that was uninhabited the game froze each time i entered the room.

I was wondering what was the reason for this and how can i from now on successfully add these.

you can't add scripts for Gen V stuff without hex editing. It's really not hard.

Your overworld problem could be solved if you just did it in hex like I have in my tutorial videos. Might as well mention what overworld file you tried changing, because it's possibly a problem with the program and someone would have to reproduce it.

Okay from what I remember I believe it was overworld 169 (so the first town in what i believe is the first house north of your own)

Basically i opened the NPCE and managed to move the first npc (the female in the chair) to the position x: 1 y: 1 which is in the left upper hand corner of that room.

After which I decided to ADD my own sprite and rebooted the game to see if it worked. When i reentered the house the game froze.

As for the Hex editing, I was watching the videos and I got to the part where I was analyzing the hex, but I honestly am quite confused as to how one knows where the hex "script" begins and ends for the "scripts" within the room. I wouldn't mind learning a bit more, however tutorials are limited to certain areas when it comes to gen 5 hacking

Well I understand scripting. I was working on and programming a MUD for a short while, however Hex Editing is where I run into my weak point, for it's a different concept. If I got a simple run down of how Hex was setup then I would understand things a bit better. As everything I have learned up until this point has basically been self taught due to trial and error, but hexing is a bit more troublesome. Sure I could play around and cut scripts and reboot the room until i figure out what is what, but that would take way too long and I'd rather be pointed in the right direction before going down that path.
