Patch: MrDollSteak's Decap. and Attack Rombase

[MrDollSteak]

I have tried changing the ini and rom headers to MrDS and it didnt work either. I even adjusted the ini for the Oil type i added to my game and everything. It still won't open. I can work around it in other programs no problem but i got spoiled on that mass sprite import function lol. Though i have a standalone editor which can do that so it's not that problematic for me to use other tools for now.

Use A-Series. Maybe my G3HS ini is outdated. IIRC I moved my Type Table. I'll look into that too.

Sorry to be a pain, but is the Day-care bug that was in the previous version particularly easy to fix? Do I just re-script it? I used it for a hack that is now in progress and the update patch just makes my rom go black after the titlescreen. I can live with the other bugs, but it'd be good if I could find a way to fix the Day-care one. Thanks for reading!

I'm not particularly sure. Did you put stuff in a bad region? I can't think of why else your screen would go black. AFAIK FBI's post has the fix.

Brilliant, thanks a bunch, fixed it! I was thinking it was gonna be a big hex job lol. Not entirely sure what you mean by bad region for the black screen thing but since my rom's a WIP and I've inserted a bunch of ASM routines I'm gonna go ahead and assume the problem's to do with my particular rom and not your base, I've probably put something where I shouldn't have =P

Check your ini for the number corresponding to your MrDS rom info ([0000], [0001], etc) and then go to 0xFFFFFE in the rom and change the number there to the same one as in the ini. If the bracketed heading in the ini is [MrDS] (it is by default iirc) just change it to something that isn't already being used and change the 2 bytes at 0xFFFFFE to that same number.

As a side note, I see no downside to changing the game code back to BPRE. I did and I haven't seen any problems resulting from it, plus doing so allows you to use G3HS with A-map. Just make sure that the 4 digit id at 0xFFFFFE is correctly matched to the right section of the ini.

Having the same issue here, but i fail to comply your instructions. What do you mean with the number corresponding to my MrDs rom info? this?

I want you add more moves such as Water Shuriken or Diamond storm

Your name is Vietnamese, so I'll be gentle. :) It comes across as impolite to state "I want you [to] do something" - it sounds like a demand or an order. "Will you be adding" would be better.

The current plans (as discussed previously in the thread) are to release a bugfix update numbered 1.5b before any new material is added. As I understand it, neither move requires a new move effect - the hardest part is the animation. I would suggest you'd have a higher chance of getting those moves added sooner if you provided animations for them.

 

[Lance32497]

will yah be adding Delta stream, Premadorial sea at Desolate Land?

 

[DizzyEgg]

I found some other minor errors:
- High Jump Kick's accuracy is 10, should be 90
- Uproar's power is 50, should be 90
- Bide should be a priority move
- Zen Headbutt's accuracy is 100, should be 90
- Fly's power is 70, should be 90
- Trick and Switcheroo don't work when used by an opponent
- Natural Cure doesn't work properly
- Leftovers sometimes works strange i.e is used when your pokemon has full HP and HP isn't displayed properly
- Some texts aren't decapitalized i.e Gary's text after defeating him the first time, a note in Vermilion City, some bug catcher's text in route 9 and Giovanni's after defeating him in the Saffron City

i get an error in using your resource in gen 3 hacking suite :( how to resolve it please hope someone tolerate this :/

Well, what is the error? (Screenshot)

 

[LeiAlcantara025]

Ahm Im On Phone now so no Screenshot but my first Error is All moves is /x And Next is Ini merger in Gen 3 Hacking Suite idk what to Browse Of ini's

 

[Kaylene]

Hi there, quick question. My rom is currently on 1.4a. I was wondering if I have to patch to 1.5, then to 1.5a, or if just using the 1.5a upgrade will work. If not, could I please have a link to version 1.5?

it loaded the original fire red ini. ensure your gamecode is MrDS. (it's in 0x0000AC, you can change it by hex editor).

 

[leyn09]

Is my rom safe for future updates if I already applied DNS on it?

 

[LeiAlcantara025]

Question I Change The Game Code into MrDS What To Do Now?

EDIT:
I Opened the rom in G3HS All the moves is \x how to make the move appear?

 

[Trainer 781]

(IMPORTANT) To fix Substitute for damaging moves:

Go to the offset 0x90C320 in a Hex Editor and insert this chunk of bytes:

It depends on what bytes were effected. If you've written down the offset that the Day/Night System took up and compared it to a clean ROM with MrDS's resource applied, then it would work if the bytes overlapped. Alternatively, if the changed bytes DO overlap, you could try out my hypothetical method(I haven't tested it but it should work).
First of all, don't apply the base to your hack until you've done all this. Apply MrDS's ROM Base to a CLEAN ROM. Then look at where your DNS is in your hack. Take the first and second byte of that and look at what their offsets are(I have my reasons, let me get to it). Write those two offsets down. Then copy the whole DNS. Put that somewhere else, like in Microsoft Word or Notepad. Replace where the DNS used to be with FFs. Look at the ROM that has the base applied. Look for a big section that's open. Remember that section.
Go to your hack and paste your DNS in that clean section where the base won't change anything and it's filled with FF. Put the DNS there now, replacing any FFs there. Write down the first two offsets(like 0x800000 and 0x800001 or 0x7B8B90 and 0x7B8B91 or something like that).
Hit the search function for your hack. Remember those offsets you had written down for the original position of DNS? Change those to pointers and search for them throughout the whole ROM a few times. If you find them(you probably will), make those point to either the first or second offsets of the newly placed DNS.
Apply MrDS's base. Test.

The first post has all of the past versions.

Does it? Am I just blind? I see changelogs for the past versions, but no actual links.

No it doesn't. He must have gotten confused with the changelogs being the old download links. Luckily I kept my version of 1.5 so here's a temporary link to it:

[KinkedAKATSUKI]

Hi, im just starting to learn how to make my own hack rom and i found that this rom base will be a good choice to start out cause it already have Fairy type and some other awesome additions, but when i try to open it using the G3HS it dont recognize the game, at the start i thought it was cause the file was an IPS file and not a GBA but when i changed it still doesnt works, i hope someone can help me with this, like i said im new to this type of things so i still have a lot to learn.

Also thanks to MrDollStreak for making this rombase

 

[venn177]

For some reason I can't seem to apply this patch? I apply it, change the rom ID using HxDen, and open it in gen 3 hacking suite-- but all of the moves and abilities are set to \x. I don't *believe* I'm doing anything wrong.
