I'm sure that at least in emerald there are a couple of specials, one to store your party and one to get it back
They are used before and after the tag battle with Steven
In FireRed however, I'm not sure if there is anyone, but there probably is for the battle tower, you should look into it



The command is called pokemart
If you're using google chrome, just hit ctrl+f and type in pokemart in here

OK well I've managed to get a single party to store and be restored using built in specials but I cannot use the same specials to have a second party. Now this may be getting above and beyond the "simple questions" but is there a way to edit/make new specials? I know jpan did but how would one go about doing so? Ill post this in the development section too btw.

Waaaay too hard for simple questions
Even if this were the right place to answer I still wouldn't be able to, cause I don't have that amount of skill

Why would you want to? It would have the same result as a callasm, just for a special, you'd need to put the pointer in the special table.

But I'm not trying to run or compile any script. I simply click the XSE.exe to open it up and I get that error.

is it missing any files it might require? if not id say you might want to run it in a compatability mode if its not working or just redownload xse again and try that

Really? Ok do you know where the special pointer table is so I can get the asm from it?

I know that it's possible to bypass the Rival Naming Function (and have it done from the over world. Jambo51 made a useful routine for that ), but do you think it's possible to do the same thing with the player?

I've been having difficulties with getting the name screen to look right, plus I also want to have a preset name for the protagonist.

I feel like I would have to do more than just modify the original routine.

It's been done in Ruby by a guy called Eing15 and it will be in his Ruby Hacked Engine.
However, if you feel like using fr or em you're out of luck, because I don't believe anyone has ever done it

False. I've done it ;)

You can check out my GitHub where I've made an entirely custom intro for FireRed. Otherwise, I've bypassed the entire intro for Emerald. Check R&D for more info. I've actually given a full example of having a preset name for Emerald in the quick R&D thread.

Okay, nooby question:
Pokemart scripts??
I mean "Sell" etc.

like josefig said, it's a pokemart command so the script would look like this (notice how the items are raw word commands):

pokemart @oldlady

...


#org @oldlady
#raw word 0x4
#raw word 0xD
#raw word 0xE
#raw word 0xF
#raw word 0x11
#raw word 0x12
#raw word 0x7A
#raw word 0x7B
#raw word 0x0

Back again... I was just wondering if anyone knows how the Hall Of Fame special for the PC works?

When I ran special 0x107 (thanks joexv for telling me about this) it said 'Hall Of Fame Data is corrupted' and then returned me to the PC options. Is there a way I can make this show the pokemon party you won the League with, without having to use the default script in FireRed's original Hall Of Fame room first? I just really hate how it skips straight to the credits and would rather avoid special 0x110 at all costs. Is there another special or flag that needs to be set?

Thanks in advance to anyone who knows anything!

Not sure if it's like this in FR, but it works like this in Emerald (I'm pretty sure).
It will be corrupted UNLESS the previous special, which shows the credits scene and saves the party, etc is performed. If you're having difficulty, just copy and paste parts of the FR default script. :)

Ummm, not to offend you or anything, but I know that...
I just want to know the thing where he tells you whether you will buy or sell....

Hello.
Can I ask you a question? :)
Can you edit attacks in gen4? Change their name, typing and everything else about it? I found some DPP attack editors, but I cannot change name of the attack. Does anyone know what .narc I need to explore to do so?

You'll need to be a bit more explicit than "I just want to know the thing where he tells you whether you will buy or sell...."
Do you want to know how to change the text or something?

The best script editor is XSE (eXtreme Script Editor) and by logo do you mean titlescreen?

 

[Latis93]

Yes, I changed the charizard, the background. Now want to change the logo to the name of my hack.
