  • I don't know anything about battles, especially about hacking them. Also it was a nice day out today so I guess that's why not everyone was talking. You can still sit in the room, you don't need to talk to be in there..
    Also you were in IRC earlier, but then you decide to ask an ASM question in the simple questions thread. Doesn't make much sense at all xD
    Honestly thought the Red++ hack had the system but oh well, ignore GBA completely but do u know any GBC hacks (preferably gen 1) with the BW EXP System/Patch?
    What do u mean by give a go at it? I was asking if anyone could give me a download link for the one used in some hacks
    I don't know anything about battle script pro. But doing a little investigating, I believe I have found the checks for Overgrow, Blaze, Torrent and Swarm. Using the bin outputs from abilities put into the resource thread, I copied the bytes used to check the ability, changed the index number, and found locations where they matched.

    Try looking around 3F153, 3F183, 3F1B3, and 3F1E3. I believe those to be the actual ability check command for the 4 power up abilities, so around there would be the beginning to that section of the script.
    actually no it doesn't. the post you showed me about expanding the ability names and descriptions serves very little purpose in the actual ability handling besides having legit ability slots that aren't filled with random characters. I've already used PGE to expand the ability names and descriptions so that tutorial is pretty much moot unless someone wants to do it by hand.

    what happens is, there is a script run every step in a battle. the script then does a bunch of checks to see what ability the pokemon has and if it is being activated.
    the first part is pretty universal. it checks the index number of the ability of the pokemon. that is where the ability is actually put into the game. if an ability does not have it's index number checked in battle script, it has no use.
    the second part is unique for each ability or set of abilities that are very similar to each other, or if an ability uses some aspect of battle that is covered somewhere else, the ability function is located there, along with the ability check.
    I think that is close to what you said just a little expanded.

    to make those powerup abilities, they would need to be activated when the user uses the move (i think), not at the end of a turn. and as I have no knowledge of asm, using the original powerup abilities then altering them would be wanted.
    Ok so. I was away for a little family trip. That first reply you sent doesn't actually have anything to do with making abilities. It just is for the names of the abilities. The post was just about JPAN's findings.
    Oh I understand that lack of motivation all too well. I've ben trying so hard to get into advance ASM/C hacking and it doesnt go over very well. OW expansion is a touchy subject to me. There are ways around using jpan for it and they arent too hard, but the tools that expand it are buggy af. and its not really worth the effort to do it by hand at that point. A good place to start if you really want to learn ASM is to go through FBI's asm workshop thingamjigy-majig.
    So no worries on the tangent. :)
    Well this is all only if you use Jpans hacked engine. Which is almost entirely useless at this point as most of it is possible without it and the bugs and issues that come with it.
    Well I have it here in case you dont wanna download the whole thing.
    Spoiler:
    oh really? You would do that for me? :DDDDDDD
    You are a very nice person. If you manage to actually get somewhere, I'll greatly appreciate it. I'm having my starters be fighting flying and rock types so it would be cool to have those types (and others) have a powerup ability.
    well. the only thing i can think of is how to make new abilities like overgrow. i asked on the asm resource thread but someone just pointed me to a thing about asm that didn't really mean anything to me. but considering that most of the ability people or not in rom hacking anymore, i doubt i'll be able to make those abilities. :C
    when I saw what happened, I went like how
