Gold & CrystalMap tutorial

Miksy91 · 1970-01-01 00:33:30

I remembered I made a tutorial on how to use GoldMap and CrystalMap and decided to post it here too.

Watch the tutorial here and make sure to read the description since it contains a lot of useful information.

It doesn't since it lacks them.

You'll have to find the address of the events for Violet city then edit the ini files or change them by hand in a Hex editor.

It does not tell me How to edit map connections, mot warps, I know about warps, I want top know about map connections, like How New bark town links to Route 29, I want to know how I can change that.....

currently, you will need to do it in a hex editor. Well, technically Megamap can edit it, but the text on that page in the map editor is still in German, because MeanMrMofo was slacking too hard to translate it when he did the rest of the program. Put simply, it is annoying to edit connections, and you cannot do it with Goldmap. sorry mate.

Masterge77 · 1970-01-01 00:33:30

Can you help me learn hex editing, it confuses the hell outta me

Mateo · 1970-01-01 00:33:30

Well, send me a PM with what part about it is confusing, and i'll try to explain it. If it's everything, I'll try to walk you through making a few hex edits. It's really not that difficult a concept, it's just a matter of finding documentation of where things are and how they are stored, and changing them.

ALso, where can I download Megamap?

Since we are discussing for Map Editing,i have to ask some questions. I know this questions are not correct writen but i think that you can understand them.

Question 1:

How to add new items or Pokémon in the ground or table ? (Pokemon inside Pokeballs like the starters at Prof Elm)

Question 2:

How to add Pokémon (not wild] like Ho-Oh at Tin Tower,that by talking to them they start battle ?

Question 3:

How to add a person that blocks the door of any room ? (example the door of Violet city's gym)and make it movig somewhere else wen you find the needed item. Example:Guard: I let you pass here only if you heve beaten the Sprout Tower,or Guard: I let you pass her only if you have the key.etc. Please help me Miksy.

There's no way I could give you a step-by-step tutorial for achieving any of this stuff. But all of them include understanding two simple things;

1. How to work out with Event Data
2. How to script events

Event data is a data structure that is called from the Secondary Header of every map. It consists data of what kind of events are attached to that map. These events are: warps, trigger events, signpost events and people events.

Scripting events works so that every type of event (expect for warp that is) has a script pointer that points to a "script data structure". Scripting is a pretty simple process as itself, but you need to know the basics behind programming to do it (mainly, being able to think how to write commands in order to achieve the wanted result in game). Script data itself can be written byte by byte with a hex editor or a script editor such as PKSV (the exact same thing with this one - byte by byte, or command by command).

Thanks for this. It is a bit hard to understand.but i will learn how to do it.

Hey i wanted to watch the video again but Where did it go?

Miksy91 · 2013-11-07 23:18:16

I removed some very outdated hacking videos earlier this year, probably in Spring. This here was one of them as it really served for no real purpose.
Only real vids you should check out are what I have listed as "hacking tutorial" video set.
