[xTehAsianSensationx]

IF ANYONE HAS PROBLEMS WITH "IMAGE NOT INDEXED" READ THIS!!!

Download Infranview and open your sprite with it. Go to "IMAGE" and choose "DECREASE COLOR DEPTH". Choose "16 Colors"

Save it and your img. should now be indexed

[shadowvssonicful]

what number is back sprite for emerald??

[supabobo123]

ok if you want to edit pokemon battle sprites like the pic you could just download pokepic, the only bad thing about it is that it works only on ruby and sapphire and

the images have o be png and 64x64 pixels

[colscary]

what is the number from ash by the introduce?

[pokeshadow13]

@jililucas360

1 download irfanview(google it).

2 Load the sprite you want to insert

3 in top toolbar find decrease colour depth

4 click 16 colours, then ok

5 in top tool bar find the pallet editor

6 make the background colour the first

(make sure the background colour is different from the rest of the colours in the sprite) (the first colour in the pallet is used as transparent)

7 click save

8 insert

[TheDamian700]

@pokeshadow13 okay but then i load the image and i save it to the rom and then i only see a black square T_T

[pokeshadow13]

@TheDamian700 sounds like your image is larger than 64x64px if not you inserted it wrong

[xxabeluxx]

@pokeshadow13 i already tried it, yeah the pic's size is lower but now the it appears: Comppresed size is: 3E4, Wich is to bigger, Aborting What can i do?

[pokeshadow13]

@xxabeluxx

1.ok first get free space finder (google)

2. convert the compression size(hex) to DEC. in this case it's 5092

3. in the FSF paste that number and copy the offset

4. in unlz insetr the image but when the image offset box comes up paste your new offset into the image offset box, check repoint new data, and press ok

5. check your game, if it didnt work you did something wrong...

[Markio123123]

[SnowMozart]

Help! I've got everything pretty much down....except when I try to play the game, the new sprite I drew comes up with inverted colors/ an outline. :( Does anyone know how to fix this??

[TheBalthazar147]

i have a question , i made a scootaoo in the coller palete of 350but when i try to inport it says ''Error: image is not indexed'' , how do i index her then ?

[ElvishRune]

@TheBalthazar147

Use InFanView and go Decrease Color Depth and 16 Colors. Then change the pallet's first color to whatever the background is. And there you go, the sprite may mess up however...

[TheBalthazar147]

@ElvishRune ok whenever i did this my sprite imported, then it brought a whole shitload of other clours in wich fucked up the whole sprite when ingame, how to fix that ?

[ElvishRune]

@TheBalthazar147 ....

You know, I had that too. A way to fix it is to open the origional sprite that you want the players to see, and copy/paste it on top of the messed up sprite.

You may know this, but hacking can destroy your ROM. Keep a backup.

[ElvishRune]

@TheBalthazar147

Go into a Paint program and Copy--> Paste the sprite you want the players to see onto the messed up sprite. Once that is completed, it should look like the sprite before you indexed it. Also, if the file is to big, use Free Space Finder to find... well... Free Space.

Happy hacking! Oh, and a tip. Free Space Finder can help you with many things from inserting sprites to writing scripts. But if you use the wrong offset, it will overwrite the intire ROM. So keep a back up.

[RobotoDomo]

[ToonWolfLink]

Cancel orPost or Create a video response Help! Ok, I try to put in a sprite of Riolu instead of bulbasaur, and it says its too big. I Shrink Riolu, and it's still too big. I continue to shrink it until it stops aborting. I play my rom, and its all messed up. No matter how small I make the freakin sprite, it still messes up! I even tried importing the picture of bulbasaur right after I saved it, and it still aborts. btw, I'm using a Fire Red ROM. Any ideas?

[SavageComics]

and maybe the characters's fronts too, for when you choose your gender etc.

[SavageComics]

[nintendo1029]

@ShadowLordTsukasa You need Irfanview to index a pic. First open Irfanview then click image then Decrease Color Depth and change it to 16, click ok and save it and then its indexed!

[mayamayagirl]

[lmaoogogetalife]

[TheZeldaCinema]

[awthum93]

[blipcs]

@awthum93 Bad rom maybe. Use a clean FR or E rom instead.

[MeepingDino]

@blipcs Whenever I click Go To, it says "An unnamed file was not found"... D:

[Gharnum]

Is Prof. Birch on there? I want to make a hack with him looking different.

[tiburonpardo12]

thanks thanks thanks!!!!

[drquesadilla]

The main problem I have is that it doesn't alow me to export the pallete (even though it says i have the option), so even if I change the pallete, it doesn't change in the game

[MasterTonberryV1]

Does anyone know how to insert images, ignoring the replaced sprite's size?

[Haku1990]

I have Pokemon fire red and it won't work it just a lot of mess up crap D:

Do you know how i make it work ?

[Megahart123]

I cant find a Rom for it!

[darksword553]

song?

[AnubisMudkip]

Do this hack work for Flash cards too? :o

[blipcs]

@AnubisMudkip Yeah, but just if you edit the ROM on your comp, and then put it on your flash card. :P

[PaperLuigi37]

wtf what bthe hell does not indexed mean i cant get it to work

[blipcs]

@PaperLuigi37 A sprite always need to be indexed to work perfectly in the game. If its not, you should use some guides at YouTube to index it. :P

[matoro4]

how do i index them?

[blipcs]

@matoro4 With a program called infraview (or something). Well, I don't know how to use that program, so look at other guides. ^^

[matoro4]

my sprite gets split up into a bunch of peices and fails after that : ( bad rom?

[blipcs]

@matoro4 All your images? Oo Maybe their not indexed...

[xdenlo]

HOW=

[xdenlo]

my colors get messed up

[blipcs]

@xdenlo You need to change the palette.

[anthodude]

I can't import my image it says: error image not indexed help please!

[blipcs]

Bad ROM. Use another one.

[KHRSace]

it's not a bad rom, the image isn't indexed.

Download irfanview, open up your custom sprite with it, go to image -> decrease color depth -> 16 colors

[GabrielYuriTheNinja]

[LolitsMickey]

[CrazyDawgy]

Er... could you possibly give me advice? I've been working on a hack (Pokemon Plastic) that runs fine in VBA, works in other programs, but tells me it can't be read or is corrupt in UNLZ. What am I doing wrong?

[CrazyDawgy]

Ah, my apologies, for whatever reason it stopped acting broken. Thanks in advance for what you would have answered in the past though XD

[unspokenXsilence]

Hey there. Do you think you could help me? It'd be greatly appreciated.

So, whenever I open the ROM, it comes up as static (which isn't the broken part) but then when I type in either of the numbers, it gives me more static and no trainers.

I've downloaded several versions of unLZ.gba and they all do the same.

any suggestions?

thanks.

[blipcs]

Hmm...Maybe you have a bad rom file. Try another one. ;)

[64t53grth]

um i have same problem i tried different rom and the same game =different rom and nothing

[Mewable]

Do you know the number for like the brendan/May Back Poses? I Need To Edit that

[JigsawJ7]

Is there any for the new ds pokemon games?

[blipcs]

Hmm, i don't know, sorry. Im only using the Advanced games myself.

[imacoolguy23]

If you don't know about The new Gold and Silver, then no, unless they haven't announced anything else yet. Or you could try a hacked diamond or pearl if you user emulators or know how to hack an actual game itself lol.

[Gravevirus]

How come the colors mess up sometimes with this program do you know?

[tyler4411]

SOMEONE help!

All it is is static! im using fire red rom but all i can find is static! also can someone tell me how to change the back sprite for battling?

[swordsmanJRR]

i cant find the firered boy battle sprite.

[DuskDragonite]

when i changed the sprite for any of my sprites,when i click write to rom and stuff. it always says:

Compressed size is:CEC.Which is too big. aborting.

Even with the same sprite it does this. why? (is my version broken, if so, where can i get it?)

[Shayminbros]

i have the same problem : ( i tried to replace the Double ? with a Missingno Sprite ripped rite from R/B

[fookers100]

its works on fire red o_O

[blipcs]

Yes, it works on Emerald, Ruby and FireRed.

[sparKnightYT]

and Leaf Green...

[leekybwoii]

can you change your characters spirite with this

[blipcs]

Yep.

[Dr0sik]

What should I do if I want to download it but I don't speak whatever language that the site linked to in the description happens to be in?

[Averuuh]

Spanish. Press the flag in the upper right corner and the link named "Downloads" should be revealed. If you don't find the flag, "descagar" means download.

[hypersupershadow]

Does it work with Fire Red?

[blipcs]

Yes it does.

[Mewable]

I think the links broke when i pressed it it coldent be found shall i search this on google insted?

[blipcs]

It's not broken for me, but try search ''Whack a Hack'' on Google.

[pop123162]

i want to make my character gary i got his over world sprite and the sprite you see when fighting him

[blipcs]

Sorry, but I don't make any tuts anymore, and I dont hack neither.

[J0KKI]

@pop123162 Pokemon overworldeditor is a good tool for that. I can make a video if u want to, but there are many videos out there explaining.

[ShadowLordTsukasa112]

uhh whenever i try to load my sprite it says 'Error, Image Not Indexed' Help Pls?

[Averuuh]

It says the same for me, "Image Not indexed". I guess it is because I have introduced new colours to the sprite (I tried to replace brock with a whole new character). It there any way to make this work?

[BIDZ180]

@ShadowLordTsukasa112 Mine does the same thing and I don't have any clue about how to fix it.

[SuperJim64]

@ShadowLordTsukasa112 make sure it only got 16 coulors

[TheNovObserver]

@ShadowLordTsukasa112 Same here. What I did is copy pasted an already made 64x64 sprite onto it and it doesn't work

[golbi123]

I've been to every single one of these tutorials and i still have yet to see one that shows how to edit the "back sprite" of the main character.

[rommel175]

[Celebi11]

[hoilori]

[tbarocsi]

I loaded my sprite, and when I encounter it, the game freezes (its giratina origin forme). Help me D:

[hoilori]

[pivart]

[GraterFace]

I can find the sprite I want to change. Save it and replace it with another. Then I click write to ROM, but it doesn't stay the same. When I go to the next image and back, it has changed back.

What's up?

[blipcs]

Maybe your rom is bad, try another one.
