Diamond & Pearl & Platinum hacking

[E-Bag]

the thread is here for a reason, i'm working on mapping right now, but there should be a link to the text editor earlier in here

[secretcharly]

Well i am using now taxahan but i have some doubts
what do i have to do to change the color of something, ex. pokemon logo, in a hex editor?

D-Trogh (http://www.pkmncommunity.com/member.php?u=14304) sorry :D

[ecg64]

yeah, i agree with secretcharly, we do need a pokemonlogo in hexeditor, or a program to edit the
part where it says Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Version!

I have a R4DS so i wanna burn my rom to it and play the hacked rom. Tell me the text editor please, and download link, or when will it be realeased.

If you want these tools then you should know how to edit it.

[secretcharly]

Ohh i was watching your youtube videos (very good) and ,there say that you will put new tools on april 27? is that true?

[D-Trogh]

OMG.. Just use TileMolester to edit the images from the titlescreen, you can even edit in real colors inside TileMolester..
Plzz people, we ('Tha Researchers') find this stuff ourselves, so why can't you guys..
Just try, k? It doesn't hurt, and if you f*ck up your ROM, just download a new one? :s
MEH.. There are enough tools, and we can hack like anything but maps and scripts.. so

Ok.. I'm really getting angry by every post in this thread that goes like 'where do I download', 'is there a map editor', 'make ..'
Really guys, just wait, k? :-\

EDIT:
i hate u D-Trough.
Go @#$% a horse!What a nice quote, luckily my name is not 'D-Trough' :D

[E-Bag]

Ohh i was watching your youtube videos (very good) and ,there say that you will put new tools on april 27? is that true?


no, the tools that were planned for that are out. no work on the map editor which i'm almost sure is what your asking about has been done yet.

@D-Trogh: yeah man, the ammount of requests and demands is probably atleast 5 times the ammount of discoverys in this thread :/

so now...
DON'T ASK FOR TOOLS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO HACK WHAT YOU WANT HACKED!! AND DON'T ASK FOR ANY LINKS! THEY ARE IN THE THREAD!

@ecg64: you ungreatful kid, we tolerate crap from you guys all the time. D-Trough has made plenty of discoveries, do you know why we research this crap!? FOR THE ****ING COMMUNITY! i'm not sure i like the community very much due to the number of people like you in it!

[E-Bag]

Gabe_K, you probaly dont make the progrmas, you rip off the betas from smart people and you just suck a @#@# a day you little @^#^#@$!

Sorry gabe, i just am stressed out. need a d/p text editor or name of file pleae.
I am sorry to D-Trough too.

i spend hours infront of my computer researching crap for a community that hates the people who make it possible! if this is what we get then i wouldn't exepect a public release of a map editor for awhile longer, how about a private release to the people who deserve it?

[secretcharly]

First i dont ask for mapping or sript ,i asked for change the color like d-trogh did in the main title.
and second sorry if we(well i mean me :D) are making you very much question,but like me,i dont know very much of making programs and hex because its mt first time using them

But after all this thanks for what you have aswered, see you

[E-Bag]

look here now. he is making programs for the people on pokecommunity and he hardly gets any thanks.
Don't curse at him when he is working on a lot of programs for d/p and all you do is sit around impatiently.
Unfortunately there isn't a d/p text or map editor yet but gabe_k found was one of the few people to scratch the surface of it.
Now let people have a break every once in a while because they has a personal life too.But you are actually lucky gabe_k and many other people are helping make d/p programs for you so you shouldn't complain or rush them.

actualy he's right, i don't make programs. i sit through long lines of hex all day trying to change little places in a japanese kid's video game just to get yelled at because i don't want to provide him links.

[~Fire]

well you find them out.
darthatron makes the programs right?

[E-Bag]

well you find them out.
darthatron makes the programs right?

yup, darth, fatty, and horus

[Michael Allison]

Okay, here's the bottom line, guys.

Use the quick search at the top of the forum. Look in the toolbox, and throughout this topic for links or references to specific software. When you absolutely can't find something, ask politely, and then wait patiently for your answer.

Basically, if you're going to treat this topic as an IRC help channel instead of the discussion topic it was meant to be, I have (and I believe most hackers share my sentiments) little problem with this. Just use the manner you'd use on an IRC channel where you were going to request assistance; if you did the things you've done here on IRC, or many other forums, you'd have been banned by now. Plain and simple. Just show respect where it has been earned.

[ecg64]

i don't make the programs, i research stuff. there is a dp text editor, and we're working on a map editor, i know a good deal about mapping some parts, but some different areas are done in some other ways.

Could u please tell me the dp text editor?

[E-Bag]

link in thread. read. you will find.

[Michael Allison]

Do you mean PokeTEX? I haven't been keeping tabs on anything non-PokeSpam recently other than PokeTEX, but add me on MSN and I'll see what I can do to help you out.

Just an FYI, I'd really appreciate you guys typing with correct grammar and spelling. I understand not everyone natively speaks English on the board, but I'm fairly sure you all know that "you" isn't spelled "u", and that one sentence posts just aren't specific enough to get the answers you really want... :( It helps you, and me, so I can help you find the programs you need, or help find answers to your questions, in general, relating to Diamond and Pearl hacking.

I'd also like to establish that this isn't a program request topic. Do a little searching first. I don't mind helping you find stuff once in a while, though, if it encourages people to be more involved in Diamond and Pearl hacking and research, as long as it's truly once in a while. I'm sure I speak for most of the people in this topic when I say that. ^_^

[E-Bag]

no, a text editor, not texture

[Michael Allison]

PokeTEX doesn't edit texture.

I actually didn't recall a text editor being released, which is why I suggested TEX. Talk to me on MSN in a second.

[secretcharly]

well in english speaking i will have sometimes some erorrs because i speak spanish,hehe
d-trogh you can hack the pearl title with taxahan and hex editor,no? can i add you on msn?or help me with a little thing?

[D-Trogh]

Ok.. To everyone who wants to edit the titlescreen.. Here is something I just told someone through WLM.
Yeah, I know.. Spelling and stuff is bad, but I'll maybe redo it later, k?
» Open your ROM in Nitro Explorer
» Goto: demo - title
» Extract titledemo.narc
» Open TileMolester
» Open titledemo.narc (Make sure you set Files of Type to ALL FILES)
» Do: View - Codec - 8bpp linear
» Hit Shift + Left a few times + Zoom OUT 2 times
» Ctrl + G: 928 (Diamond), 8B90 (Pearl) >> Hexadecimal, Absolute
» Hit Shift + Left or Right until the image is correct
» Do: Pallete - Import From - This File
» Offset: 35168 (Diamond), 68552 (Pearl) | Size: 256 | Format: 15bpp BGR (555)
» Now you can edit, even export and import (Edit - Copy To or Paste From)
» Save, close TM
» Import the titledemo.narc with Nitro Explorer

Download NitroExplorer (http://treeki.googlepages.com/NitroExplorer2b.zip) (Needs NET Framework)

[secretcharly]

NITROexplorer, can someone link me?i found to pages but the two say "the aplication configuration cant start.The reinstall could solve the problem"

Ecg64, be patient, already isnt tex editing tools.And if someone have done something, i think he did it with hex editing

[Michael Allison]

http://treeki.googlepages.com/nitroexplorer1.2.zip

If it says that, you probably need VB runtimes... Open IRC for help with that part, LOL.

[secretcharly]

Well i am using an other computer and the two programs work fine,but when i open the title demo file in tile molester,i do all the step that d-trogh wrote and the image look al distorcioned like in the first image.

I want to change the diamond letter(in the titlescreen) and color like in the second image and third

[score_under]

Can somebody please enlighten me on the usage of narctool with NDS files? What do I need to do to extract the .narcs from the .nds?

[Virtual Chatot]

I shall talk to this weak minded people.

Pd. If someone is interested in this on gbatemp is a patch for pokemon diamond to make all pokemon catchable,ALL here is the link;
http: //gbatemp.net/index.php?download=598 just copy and paste in your browser but write all together

[aerowolf]

Wow, this is really getting along well. Good job, all of you. I wish I could help but I have no experience with hex-coding or the time. But I'll be supporting this all the way!

[Michael Allison]

Secret, please don't double post. The edit button serves a purpose.

Thanks, aero ^_^. I'm taking a hiatus from this topic, and from general Pokemon research/hacking/organization for the next couple of days actually, and you make me feel guilty -_-! Luls!

darknessvult, only one of those images were even oddities, so why are you posting them in a hacking forum? especially when the one "omg glitch" or "omg Im hax0r" basically makes me want to tell you "how bout u sm0k3 my p0l3" (sorry, but episode 7 just made me laugh, so I had to quote Arby and the Chief somehow)... :P

[aerowolf]

lol Michael, don't worry about it. I know everyone needs a break. After all, I can't even get time to work on my hack! Much less do research on tools for D/P.

But seriously, I was astounded at the findings since I last checked this thread (about 2 months ago or something) so there's really been some good progress.

[secretcharly]

Sorry
but can you or anyone answer my questions,please
Sorry again for double posting

[ErickaVolt]

Those are obviously just edited images, so I'm going to laugh at you now.

Rofl.

Don't worry. Just laugh at me. I understand Japanese dialog. Once it can be downloaded in a Japanese site, I'll translate it into English.

have you ever seen the text in pokemon? you might want to look before you try to fake images.

Do I need explanation?!

congratulations, good luck getting anyone to trust you after the fake screenshots. If that's not another fake, i'd recommend putting some open and save buttons

[ErickaVolt]

And more for these idiots....

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/go_psycho/lolwut.jpg

I could see that people are not always contented?! LOL!

[Munchlax989]

That's Pokesav. alot of people would know that

[ErickaVolt]

That's Pokesav. alot of people would know that

But it can be considered hacking tools, right? LOL!

[thethethethe]

But it can be considered hacking tools, right? LOL!
I haven't used pokesav, so I may be wrong, but, doesn't pokesav just hack the save file and not the actual rom?

And more for these idiots....

http://i245.photobucket.com/albums/gg78/go_psycho/lolwut.jpg

I could see that people are not always contented?! LOL!
You do know, this program was created by the people who you are trying to argue with? It kind of makes you look a little stupid.

[21]

Oh, Pokemon DP hacking, that's so cool. I'd love to see someone hack it into something totally awesome.

My question is, though, how do you use the touch screen in a DS emulator?

[aerowolf]

From what I've seen in videos, 21, you use the mouse/touchpad to use the touch screen

[ErickaVolt]

Oh well.... Maybe you're right....

I could see that people are not always contented?! LOL!

hmm... i think i've seen that tool somewhere... Oh that's right! I started the team that made it! What exactly are you trying to prove?

That's Pokesav. alot of people would know that

...no... anyone who's paid any attention at all to this topic would know it's the evolution editor made by pokespam... is this what the D/P hacking thread has become? fake screen shots and trying to steal programs made by a team of the most active members in this thread?

[Darksun45230]

That's the circle of life.

[AquaLeaderMatt]

Just ignore the ones that shouldn't exist. :)

Pokespam still have many fans, like moi, that are amazed and grateful for your work (to both the research and programming aspects).

[IanHitodama]

Isnt pokesav for cheats and not hacking? Does anyone know how to change maps on DP yet...

[Darksun45230]

None knows how to hack maps yet. If you read the posts I'm sure they would tell you.

[secretcharly]

Sorry, but, why dont you ignore post like those of darknesvolt (sorry if i look bad, but thats the true)and concetrate on others posts?I make some questions and anyone have answered themor just a "i dondt know"
If you can help, just put attention in the thread objective.
Sorry darknesvolt,but i have more time asking and i didnt receive any answer
see you



EDIT: for what is the IPE program? it say to change the intro pokemon and cry but where?

[s-buster]

can you guys show me where to get all I need(cept emulator) for a working Pokemon Diamond/Pearl ROM? I'd appreciate it if you could.

[~Fire]

sorry but linking to a rom or a place with roms is illegal.
And ask questions in the simple questions thread instead of some random place please.
So did you find anything majour on d/p hacking gabe_k?
Or did anyone else find anything?

[Virtual Chatot]

Darknessvolt, post in here again with falsified images and I'll report you for spam

[thethethethe]

...no... anyone who's paid any attention at all to this topic would know it's the evolution editor made by pokespam... is this what the D/P hacking thread has become? fake screen shots and trying to steal programs made by a team of the most active members in this thread?

Ummm... I think Muchlax989 meant the other screen that was posted, not the evolution editor. The other screen is just from Pokesav, with darknessvolt probably pasted onto the top right corner.

ohhhh... i haven't used pokesav much, sorry munchlax

[mafta]

hey do u guys have a table (or something like that for hex editing) for DP if so can u send a link or something so i can start hex editing and i actually have some idea of wat im doing because so far all i have done is either crash the game or do something i cant find

[flash_blade]

Hi,
I'm sorta new to the D/P hacking scene and i wondered how do you import sprites into pokeTEX because all i can do is edit pallets and wanna edit sprites.
All help is thanked.

[E-Bag]

All help is thanked.

if you mean import your own images, you can't. I believe the only way to edit them right now is by clicking the "expand" button and editing the bytes

[secretcharly]

Can the poketex program owner make the or put here the shinygold trainer sprites,please? or someone can help me?like you he did with saphire character
Thanks

[E-Bag]

the guy who made poketex was japanese, we don't know anything about him. make your own sprites, that's what it's for

[Gabe_c]

congratulations, good luck getting anyone to trust you after the fake screenshots. If that's not another fake, i'd recommend putting some open and save buttons

Please tell me about it't fake i started my own tool for that stuff... Please fast...

I think I may have found out where some more battle data is stored... Here is my theory...

SS TT ?? ## IIII IIII IIII IIII ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ?? ??

Key:

SS = Song
TT = Trainer Type
?? = Unknown
## = Number of Pokemon
IIII = Item HEX Humber (Flipped)


_____________________


Example: (Possibley the first E4 Member.)

03 41 00 05 1700 1700 0000 0000 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

Key:

03 = Song "Elite Four Battle"
41 = Type "Elite Four"
00 = Unknown
05 = Number of pokemon
1700 = Item HEX Num. (Full Restore)
1700 = Item HEX Num. (Full Restore)
0000 = Item HEX Num. (Nothing)
0000 = Item HEX Num. (Nothing)
01 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown
00 = Unknown

Sadly, I cannot test this (As I don't have a D/P save file past the first town :(), but it all seems logical to me. If someone can test it and get back to me I'll make a program for editing Trainers. :)

Offset for this Trainer: 29532456
First possible Trainer?: 29527256

Also, I'm pretty sure that if you change the "05" Byte to a "06" Byte the 6th pokemon will be a level 55 Quagsire.

That looks right. If you want I would gladly test it for you, as I do have a save past the Elite 4 from my R4DS, although some parts are kind of messed up because I used PokeSAV and ARDS on it. The Elite 4 works though, so I'll try. :D
I have no life. Send me the patch over MSN when I get back on tonight. Elite Four here we come, LMAO.
Did any one ever test that stuff`?

[flash_blade]

When the hero's in battle what is the offset for this?

[E-Bag]

When the hero's in battle what is the offset for this?

what do you mean?

@sebbe: i assume fatty tested, i'll ask him later.

[Darthatron]

Did any one ever test that stuff`?

Ya, we tested it. I was right about the # of Pokemon and that's about it. :P Still need pointers to make anything worth while. :(

[w60664]

Waste>_>. you guys sure did.

[E-Bag]

Waste>_>. you guys sure did.

what did you say? did you know that the reason we don't upload dp hacking tools is not because we're tottal jerks, it's because we haven't made any new ones yet! holy crap! who wuddathunkit! if you would be willing to go through the painful proccess of reading afew pages back you might see that there ARE d/p hacking tools! as for roms, roms are illegal! downloading them is a violation of international copyright laws! when you download them some poor japanese programer can't feed his family!

[Pounder_Zeikku]

Waste>_>. you guys sure did.

be nice, hacking D/P is fairly challenging, not difficult, but it takes a lotta time.
they have a great line of tools, if ya wanna see click on my RHHQ sig, join up the tools are on one single thread so it's easy to find.

And n00bz who think they can get by with editing images and posting, get a life.
leave pokespam to do what they do best, without spamming begging for tools, it makes tools easier to find and a much more interesting thread.

any new discoveries on mapping gabe?
and any idea's on creating other programs?

keep it up, i know your busy :)

:/ First off, have you asked zel if he's cool with you remaking his game? second, do you realize exactly how much scripting, mapping, and spriting would be involved? if you can't figure out how to hack sprites in poketex i doubt it would be a good idea. also, we don't know scripting, and mapping is neither public, nor to the point of being able to remake johto

Edit: sorry, this is gabe_k, i'm on mike's computer.

[BRTD]

I hope nintendo remakes Gold/Silver. They were good games, also it'd kill the growing industry of johto remakes.

[secretcharly]

Oh sorry, i didnt think in that.
That was just a demo,i will change it
thanks for the info

No one knows how to do this yet, please stop asking in this thread every time you have a question.

The most complex thing that we have mastered in D/P is editing Trainer's Pokemon. If that gives you any clue to what can and cannot be done yet.

hmm what are you all using for your hex editing? im using win32dsm witch i would recomend kinda hard to find as its used to make cracks for comp games and as im at a friends huse on dail-up i dont really have the time to read all 36 pages so any inportant offset we have found so far? i am currently looking into making a move set and poke type editor so just muling around on the code atm.. if i find anything usefull ill post it

[Michael Allison]

I should be on a lot more soon, starting at least Monday, due to vacation. I'll be able to learn some more programming techniques and perhaps write something useful, design more graphics for PokeSpam, and also help out in this thread a lot more. On that subject, Ahegal, I'll work on a list for you. :)

[Ahegil]

thank you seem to have gotten a screwed Pearl ROM ehh i can still use it for my basic needs untill i go home later on today found some of the offsets for the types currently they dont really help though =\ as my ROM died on me

Pokemon D/P hacking. Are the Map editor and text editors are not ready yet?!

Anyone up for Pokesav?

[Ahegil]

hmm seems the values 0000016C to 00003FFC are the values for the pokemon in your BOX not all of them though it skips here and there ahh and pokesav. good program i have the latest vesion and what do you mean update it or what? all it is is basic hex editing prolly with cheatengine

If you want some offsets, I've written a tutorial on doing some basic things like editing the stats, movesets and evolutions and some other things. If you want to look at that, it can be found here, Basic DP Hex Editing (http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=131283).

You come here all the time demanding Diamond and Pearl Hacking tools, and it will stop today.

You have absolutely no respect for the researchers and programmers that actually make these tools. If you want the tools so bad, then go research and program yourself, and stop bugging us about it. If you have nothing to contribute to Diamond and Pearl hacking besides spam, leave this thread now.

[red fan 1000]

Did you ever post the program on how you edit the pokemon

[Virtual Chatot]

Did you ever post the program on how you edit the pokemon
If you're talking about the Starter Pokemon Editor, you can find it in the Toolbox.

[Ahegil]

hmmm after a few more hours hunting through code ive found some values near the end that refer to menu.ncs and main.nce looking into what these do atm..

EDIT: oh and thethethethe i have a bit of trouble with numbers so the whole reversing the numbers thing is a bit confusing so =p ty though ill have to figure it out though =D also the above metioned offsets seem to be refering to geting and sending sav files and how there encoded the main menu is there also so from what it looks like i could chenge the values to pic up a differant network than it normaly does and remove the protection so you can burn modded games onto a DScard and run WIFI though yo prolly would not be able to play with any normal D/P games though might be possible i host several networks so if that does ever go anywhere i can host the network that would be quite a bit of work though and as i see this forum is not much support wise =\ also i think we should look into starting a team of programers fo D/P if anyone would like to

[E-Bag]

Did you ever post the program on how you edit the pokemon

yes, we posted it on the forum, you can download it from the link.

also i think we should look into starting a team of programers fo D/P if anyone would like to

I started a team called pokespam awhile ago, we've figured out quite alot (some stuff that's not public, like map editing and mart editing), released a few programs, and have more in the works.

[Ahegil]

hmm well can i join? dont know muh about moding these games but i build omputer and soft ware plus mod and build apps for xbox and the 360 and like 2 ps2 apps.. mod on about 200 games and have been playing with hex editing for along time so a serious project would be cool

[Litengaupe]

Guys, I'm new here but I want to help you out. I was messing around with a hex editor and something weird happened. Twinleaf town was missing the top of a tree. I don't know if this is the start of a map editor development but seriously I swear this happened. I'd really like to join you guys, though I'm only eleven, and my friends keep telling me I'm too young to hack. (Even though I've already made a sucsessful Ruby hack =P)

Well, simply messing up the hex isn't much, since we do that all the time. I congratulate your efforts, although we have already been working on Map editing for a while now.

I would really enjoy a text editor, pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...........
I am not spamming, just requesting. also, pokespam, do you have any new programs coming out?

yeah, our main focus right now is mapping. I figured some stuff out with marts also which i haven't perfected yet, so we're also working on that.

[Ahegil]

hmm could you PM me the stuff on the marts and ill see what i can do? not really big on mapping

[Virtual Chatot]

[chibo_wolf]

i have one question or maybe two on diamond and pearl ok first is there a tool to map also how do you change graphics what do you use?

[Ahegil]

yes i can make programs i write custom firmware for 360's in my spare time made a few apps for some computer games here and there and about 300million trainers lol

[PokeMaster1]

Is there a Map Editor for Pokemon Pearl?
If so can post a link to it so I can download it?

You have to ask Gabe, since he hasn't sent me the offsets yet :S

[Squeenix]

STOP ASKING FOR MAP EDITORS!!
Gabe is working as hard as he can trying to satisfy you people who give him nothing but flaming and disrespect. A map editor will come out sometime, he already gave you plenty of programs so if you don't want to wait make one yourself. One will eventually come out so just wait

[Ahegil]

nice soft? or hard? and can you send me the mart offsets? i would like to release my type changer(and hopfully moveset editor having a bit of trouble though) with a mart editor also =P you'll get full credit i just label it pokespam inc.? or do i need approval from the rest of ur team?

It involved the opening of my 360, so i assume that's hard. If you come on msn i'll send you the mart offsets, i don't really like working over pm for certain reasons.

[Ahegil]

yes opening your xbox is very duanting to most and one little thing wil totaly screw your whole xbox dam microsoft firmware -.-

[Zanalicious]

yes i can make programs i write custom firmware for 360's in my spare time made a few apps for some computer games here and there and about 300million trainers lol

although i can believe you can write apps, i highly doubt that you write your own firmware for the 360, because at the moment, the only one who has released any or done anything significant with it is Commodore4Eva (C4E.) so unless you're C4E, which i doubt because they're probably too busy hacking away at something more worthwhile than pokemon (no offense anyone,) then you probably don't write your own firmware. you may flash firmware, but i doubt you write it. plus, if you made a lot of trainers and do write firmware, which would require knowledge of the original firmware (which would be learned through hex,) you would have enough knowledge of hex to get the mart data yourself dont you think? and dont bother saying you're too lazy, because taking on the task of writing a custom firmware for a 360 drive would be much more work. so if you did, then you wouldn't be lazy. also, if you dont have enough time, then i really dont know what to say other than: why would you want to make a program for it then?
lol, sorry if this is considered flaming, but i just thought i would state what i think. dont want to start any wars after all.

@ gabe:
i believe you did a soft mod. a hard mod involves soldering. soft mod is the flashing of your drive (as in the software mod for your drive)

p.s.
sorry for going off topic.

[Ahegil]

gabe is very aware that all he did was flash -.- and your quite the cocky person to go around telling people what they and can cant do just becuase you amricans cant figure it out dont mean the germans cant and by all means we always figure it out first sure i dont write anything ground breaking just a basic port for linux to run on the 360 but dont go around insulting people speacaily when its over the internet as people seem to thinks its ok to put others down just becuase it is over the internet also between my job and my job building costum computer for people i dont really have that much time dont ever tell someone else what they can and cant do again

oh and next time just PM that crap to me

[Virtual Chatot]

Guys, this is seriously going way to far off the topic.

Stopeth it nowith

[PokeMaster1]

Where do you get the hex editor and how do you use it?

[Zanalicious]

@ PokeMaster1:
search on google for: hex editor
read the documents and tutorials section of this forum.
you may also search for information on how to do all this on google as well, although i do not know what results it will yield.

sorry didn't feel like multi-quoting.


the rest is @ Ahegil:

oh and next time just PM that crap to me

sorry dude, as i said, i didnt want to start any wars, all i was doing was stating my thoughts. to get this out of the way:

1st: i know gabe knew all he did was flash, i was notifying him that i thought it was a soft mod not a hard mod.
2nd: i never said what you can and cant do. i said what i thought was the truth, sorry if i offended you.
3rd: what does a port of linux have to do with any of this?
4th: i dont remember ever really trying to put anyone down. neither on the internet or in real life (while in a good mood)
5th: no offense, but to be quite honest, i dont care what your job is. i gave an explanation of why i wouldnt believe you if you said you didnt have enough time btw.
6th: im sorry, i will never tell someone else what they can or cant do again (although thats not what i did)
7th: learn to spell stuff right, even if you are from a different country:
amricans = Americans
becuase = because
speacaily = especially
costum = custom

i dont think i like it here.
with that said, i might be done doing anything from now on. the community is full of people who dont bother to search, use common sense, or even be polite about things (myself included in the 3rd part, sorry)
in any case, if i do happen to continue and i figure something out, i'll be sure to make everyone else who isnt on the team figure it out them selves.

p.s.
i dont have to pm anything to anyone, i can make it public if i please. if the mods prefer that i pm you and have this conversation out of the thread, then so be it. it doesnt bother me. just note this, i can show any pm i get to anyone i please.

it's sad to see what's become of this once fine thread.

Tensions are high and all but come on guys, be reasonable. I wasn't here when advance hacking or have no clue as to how that was when it was in it's infancy. But i bet it was very similar to this.

Everyone has a desire to be on the cutting edge. It's human and internet nature. So let's just use that handy report feature we got for the spammers and try to regroup as not just a team but as a community. By working together I'm certain 4th gen hacking will be blown wide open

As miyazaki-san told us all "We must learn to see with eyes unclouded by hate."

On Topic time now that that is out of the way.....

From how things are going i have no doubt that some of the information we desire will be found with sooner rather than later.

Go Team Pokespam!

[Platinum Lucario]

once the dp map editor is made I would like to do a GSC remake,
but the 3D tilesets I've found out on pokemon diamond/pearl can be in any sizes,
on Route 211 I've found out that a bit of the river goes into
the Mystery Zone, but a Mystery Zone is an empty space of the world map
though, but I have found out that a map's border has a border for each direction...
I'm still researching pokemon diamond for more information.

thank you for the support. unfortunately, even though most of it is like gba, when it comes to what people really want to do (being mapping), it's entirely different. We do know how to hack maps, it'll just take time for us to be able too hack them fully

[Lugia100]

isn't there going to be a new hacking tool on Sunday the 27th?

[Gabe_c]

I said this many time and i try ask again... Is any one doing that damn mart editor? I started many times, but then some one else always say that they are making it...

[Twar3Draconis]

Maybe they aren't done. People have lives, you know. These hackers can't be expected to sit around all day and work on this, unless you pay them.

The more you ask, the less chance that you'll even get the finished product. That's what happened to the DS features of xLink Kai. People were being so noobish that they canceled it.

If you wanna see it done, do it yourself, pay the hackers or wait until it's done.

Well, PokeSpam Inc., you guys are doing great. Keep it up. If I was doing this, I would've fallen to the pestering for "Sunday the 27th" long ago.

[ecg64]

What is a HEX editor for dimaond and pearl, and exactly, what does it do?
I am wondering, and Pokespam, please tell me what program your working on and tell me the release date.
POKESPAM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Twar3Draconis]

A Hex Editor is a application that edits Hexadecimal code. It can edit all applications and files.

I do suggest against asking for a release date, as set release dates tend to cause rushed progress and lower quality work in order to meet a deadline. It'll be finished when it'll be finished. I'd love to help and speed this up, but my hex editing skills aren't up to par.

gabe_k, also try researching 3D modeling programs
they could be the key to controling the 3D polygons
in the map editor. ;D

[E-Bag]

i know, i've done 3d modeling stuff for afew pc games. no existing 3d modeling programs will work with this, but we do plan on making one

[Ahegil]

Gabe_k i think you migh be wrong there an older program that i used to use for warcraft and it might just work ill look into digging it up its a Hex based model editor that i found good for many differant things oh and i think ive had a break through on editing types normal moves can hit ghost types YAY! *runs in circles* but thats all ive done as of yet lol ill keep yea posted

i highly doubt an old warcraft editor would be able to hack the models :/ what are the chances they have the same engine?

Do you guys think that D&P uses actual 3d models or just sprites for 3 sides of a building with no back because you can't rotate. Mabye they would just try and keep it under 64MB so they wouldn't have to manufacture 128 cartriges instead of 64 and tried to save space. The OW and the in battle sprites are 2d obviously. Does any of your progress the buildings and maps are 3d? or 2d

I have a question about PokeText (not poketex).
How you can compile back an edited htm file?

It's Pretty easy actually,
Just rename the edited .HTM/.HTML file
to dec.dat and place it in the root category
where the 2 progs are.

I then believe youre supposed to
run PokeText, but I'm not sure as it was
some time since I used it.

I Hope I helped out.

how much more content do you could think we could actually fit in the ROM
the DP rom without padding is 58.3 MB so that gives us roughy 5.7Mb of free space in the ROM to add things like new sprites and maps while the GBA games ROM was only 16Mb and probably had a lot less space in it a

Look, I've edited some stuff in the intro:
http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r130/Kike-Scott/Crystal%20SharDS/Intro.png

The prof. sprite, the wooper, palletes... I just didn't figured how edit the text... I will research a little bit on PokeText...

how did you edit that? any tutorial?

[Gabe_c]

how did you edit that? any tutorial?

I have made a tool that edit the pokemon... Goto the tool box, and find pokespams toolbox...

[thethethethe]

how did you edit that? any tutorial?

Palettes: Same as GBA palette editing.
Oak: TLP, find the rowan sprite and replace it.
Wooper: A couple of bytes in hex, or sebbe's tool.
Text: Maybe a Spanish rom?

[loadingNOW]

text maybe the same way i did it ;)
http://pokeguide.filb.de/texthack.png
using this (http://pokeguide.filb.de/index.php?subaction=showcomments&id=1177337015&archive=&start_from=&ucat=&) or something equivalent. But i must admit i am not aware of any GUI ports yet

and you're basicly unlimited in size could go up to 128mb without any problems. expanding is not an issue anymore thanks to filesystems.

[E-Bag]

yes, but does poketext work with english roms? i know the lists i've found on japanese sites haven't worked for english roms.

That does look promising. I'll look into it more later tonight and get back to everyone to see if I can use this information to make a decent Text Editor. :)

In other news...

Just an addition to Attack Editing... I found what some more Values mean. :)

Example: Pound
00 - Effect (Normal Hit)
00 - Buffer (Nothing)
00 - Category (Physical)
28 - Power (40)
00 - Type (Normal)
64 - Accuracy (100)
23 - PP (35)
00 - Effect % (0)
00 - Target (One Target)
00 - Buffer (Nothing)
00 - Speed (0)
73 - Contact? (115)
05 - Contest Effect (No Effect)
04 - Contest Type (Tough)
00 - Buffer (Nothing)
00 - Buffer (Nothing)

I might edit later and give you all the Contest/Effect/Target Lists... Then again, I might not.

[Kike-Scott]

I've figured out the way to edit the text on DP, but to edit the files (you have to edit the unencrypted bins, not the htm's xD) I need a UTF-16 table... I don't know where I can get it, if someone knows something, help will be really appreciated!

[loadingNOW]

poketext works on all versions exept the korean one.


edit:
anyway i couldn't help it when messing with python today i started writing a better poketext it's still very early but (de)cryptes and displays fine currently i am working on string to pokehex backconversion. but i wonder if the tool should create an xml file or something on first load then edit that and later recompile it completely. all other ways seem to be either slow or without proper seraching (which would suck).

[Kike-Scott]

I've managed to edit the bins, and therefore edit the text on the roms... It's kinda easy, just a long process...
Anyway, here's a table I made. It's kinda basic, but you can use it to edit the texts, and also you can expand it easily.

Every one is trying their hardest, so there's no reason to call us "lazy"
because there have already been programs released,
just check in the tools section!

Anyway...
Pokémon Diamond and Pokémon Pearl has 3D blocks
that might be a bit different from RSE and FRLG,
but I know there is a way to control the polygons...
but I don't know what it is though...
I know there might be movement permissions though.
Because I've found out there are some invisible walls in some areas,
like on Acuity Lakefront on the top left part of the map
where there is a puddle which is a smaller version of Lake Acuity
you can walk there but there are some invisible walls...

This has gotta be the stupidest post here.
In case you haven't read the previous posts, there are already programs for d/p.
don't call them lazy as you are the one not helping at all and just waiting for it.
you are lucky the people on here are even making or trying to make d/p hacking possible or else you would have nothing to do.
whats your excuse for saying that stuff you hypocrite?
Anyways the progress has really gone up to speed.
the text editing picture looks pretty cool.

[Azure-Blue]

How can they be lazy.
They have been hacking diamond with codes and stuff
that takes longer.
Stupid person.

[Mitchman Is]

Good job you are repotrted *reports*.
Now that thats taken care of I see that it progressed into more then research. I hope the map edittor gets figured out. I know how hard it is to edit something thats not a tile but an acuall model. I wish you luck,

Listen up bud, we have already released two hacking programs and they can be found in the toolbox section. We have a few more tools that we haven't released yet because they haven't been perfected. You are the sad little kid who can't get his head out of his butt to make his own programs, and I doubt you even know how to work a Hex editor. We have done more than anyone else in the next generation hacking. If you would have simply taken the time to read the thread instead of insulting us, you might have already found the tools by now.

...and you a whiny little brat who has no respect for us and what we do

Have a nice life you slithering waste of atoms, post in here again and I will make sure that you are banned from this forum. Just from the way you act I can clearly see you don't even deserve to hack.

You do know to get their you need walk through walls on right?
Of course there is movement position data, its been in every other game, even if we cant edit the singular tile ones. Some are just automated.

Plus, mapping and scripting in diamond and pearl will be much more difficult than in other games.

Inserting buildings would have a whole new factor, considering the blocks are 3d, youll need to insert two side images and a birds eye image and then adjust the system to convert certain parts to create a 3d image, if you understand.

If you've noticed all the events in diamond and pearl, some look fairly difficult to make, such as animations happening during movement positions.

[Virtual Chatot]

You also have to remember that the area in the screenshot was never meant for you to have access it. So naturally it may have to oddities in it.

Oh, and there's a weird detail: when I unpack the nds file, the folder created is smaller than the original file. And when I repack it, the final nds file is smaller than the original...

AFAIK, the file doesn't work with no$gba after unpacking and repacking. It does work with the IDeaS emulator though. If you wanted to, you could make an unmodified unpacked-->repacked .NDS file, and do a comparison with the modified unpacked-->repacked .NDS file. Then find those bytes in the 64MB from the original unpacked-->repacked .NDS file, and replace them with the ones from the modified unpacked-->repacked .NDS file.

Example of a directory:
1-Original
2-Copy of Original
3-Original-->Unpacked-->Repacked
4-Original-->Unpacked-->Modified-->Repacked

Now compare 3 and 4 and find the differences in 4 from 3. Now modify 2 by searching for those original parts in 3, and replacing them with the ones from the same location in 4.

If thats not clear enough let me know and I'll try to go into a little more detail, although this should be good enough to figure it out.

Note: All these steps are just to get it working with no$gba if you're really that desperate. If you don't care, then just repack as normal and use with IDeaS.

Well, I tried with IDeaS and didn't work too. I don't know if I understood that other method well, but what I did was search every bytes that original_repacked have in common with original. Then, if those bytes were different in the modified_repacked, I should change but I had to stop in a section that doesn't exist in the original file and is totally diferent from original_repacked to modified_repacked.

I figured out another thing: the modified_repacked is bigger, because every bin files extracted from msg.narc are listed in a extra section, that doesn't exists in the original_repacked. I tried delete that section, so both files could be equivallent, but it doesn't works neither...

Considering that, I think the problem is the narc repacking, am I right?!

[loadingNOW]

probably not - well mabe thats also a problem but chances are that its not the only one.
when i first hacked the japanese game to be able to dump ram to an m3 type device it would not run brecause ndstool placed some kind of homebrew marker below the header which made the m3 and emulators think it was homebrew. I don't know if that still happens with current ndstool but it might be woth a try fixing this problem was quite simple i quest pasted the data from the old rom there. That way you should be able to get it to boot at least

the narc might be a bit more complicated (if it's a problem) you probably know that natriums narctool is for narc with filenames pokemon uses narc without filenames. so if thats a problem a rewrite is needed. for constant size stuff you could avoid it by just parsing the narc and replacing the data (i do that in pokedspic). poketextds(WIP) will need a full narc implementation though which is one reason why its not released (the other is the fact that i am to lazy to write a crappy gui)

Hello I want translate Pokémon Diamond but I can't HEX edit, though I learn very fast.

FDuarte, can you send me your TBL file? Also there's a way to get out more chars from the game, for example accent letters like: ö ü á ó ő ú ű í ? (é too but we got it before)

[FDuarte]

I use translhextion (hex editor), tabular (table manager is a good one too) and notepad (just for translation notes) and nothing else. Well, in the screenshot, because I had to use poketext, narctool (in the poketext pack), dsLazy (to unpack and repack the nds file) and a lot of others until I find the these ones.

rapid progress in the narc rebuilding front looking quite good already
does anyone want to test the new poketext which is now more easy to use? i still need to tie the modules together but in the ind you will be able to convert the narc to xml in utf-16 edit that and rebuild the narc from that. maybe there will be some speed issues i've not yet tried with the whole file in that case there will be an option to dump and reinsert just one or few files.
