Okay so my request is (theoretically) simple. I'm trying to edit the player char sprites in Soul Silver. I know there is an action replay code to use the female protag from Platinum, and I wanted to make it a patch with it as a permanent change if possible. Thanks in advance for any advice. I got PokeTex, PokeDSPic, and PPRE but I'm not sure what I'm doing...
EDIT
So I've gone through bunch of tutorials and stuff. I've now got BTX Editor, PokeDSPic, PokeTex, PPRE, and Tinke. I tried simply swapping Lyra and Dawn's walking animations, and recompiled, but when I started the game it crashed so obviously I did something wrong but not sure what. I found a tutorial for Tinke but it's outdated or something because it tells me to do things that don't seem to be options on my Tinke. Please can someone help me out? This is driving me crazy. I thought it'd be simple to play as Dawn in SS since there is a AR code for it but all I've managed to do is give myself a headache. (Plus looking at sprites and stuff I realize I could replace Lyra completely with Dawn (as in backsprites, intro sprites, etc. Everything!) but if I can't even get the overworld sprite to work then it's not happening :< Thanks in advance for any advice!)
