How To Make, edit and Insert Sprites For Pokemon Black & White

How to edit, make and insert sprites into pokemon Black and White


For This Tutorial I Will Use:
A Pokemon Black Rom
Nitro Explorer
Ms Paint
BWOE (Black And White Overworld Editor)

First Download the Archive at the bottom of the page.
Extract it all to your desktop
Open your pokemon black rom with nitro explorer by clicking "Load Rom"

Navigate to this file (Marked by star)and press extract.

Type .narc on the end of the file when saving
Save it to the same location as BWOE

Run BWOE. You should see this

Press open Narc and navigate to the file
Scroll Down on the bar with the numbers until number 144, we will edit mom as an example

Press export image and save it in the same folder as BWOE

right click the 114 file and click open with paint
Once paint apears zoom in and edit the charecter however you want, don't make it rainbow as each sprite has a colour limit.
Replace each colour with a different one or just use moms sprite as a base. We need to edit every view point/sprite with the same colours or else we get a glitch. Notice mom only has 7 view points/sprites, this is because she doesn't move much. Stationary charecters (e.g. the nurse in the pokemon centre) Only has 1 view point because she doesn't move. Whereas the main charecter has over 40 view points/sprites for walking, surfing, cycling, running and recieving items at a zoomed camera angle, as well as view points/sprites for far away angles.

Here you can see before and after shots of moms sprite

Now switch back to BWOE, and press import image
navigate to the 144.png file and press it

Now press save narc, save over 9.narc in the BWOE.
Now open you pokemon black rom in nitro explorer
Navigate to this file
82712902.png

and press reinsert

You now have changed sprites! See below for change

Hey whats the File ID of Nurse Joy?

Scroll through BWOE I have edited it so I know it's there.
I try to open BWOE, but I get:
.NET Framwork Initiliazation Error
I don't get it....
Install Microsoft net framework

Sorry Didnt understand what you said, just tell me how to edit nurse joy's sprite
Scroll through the sprites until you find her, then follow the directions in the op

So, no matter what I try, the Import/Export options are perpetually greyed out in BWOE.
Which is entirely unhelpful in every way.

Have you saved the files extracted from the Rom with .narc on the end?

Yup.
Not in every attempt, mind you, as I was trying to pin down the issue.
But even when I did, the extension didn't change anything.

um, maybe this issue only happens to me, but the picture you posted with the file in Nitro Explorer (the 9 file, where it is), isn't showing. Also, do you know which .narc file is the one with the overworld sprites in Soul Silver or Heart Gold? I know that this method posted here works with SS and HG, but I can't find the .narc file in the a folder. I would appreciate the help.

You have to extract the narc from your own Rom, as to its location google is your mate
