Diamond & Pearl & Platinum hacking

[Gabe_c]

I recommend the PokePic way, gabe_k is right, unless you understand the basics you shouldn't be hacking it. :)

I agree...

By the way, should we change the name of the thread? *Joking, I know times to it comes out...

Is there anything that allows me to insert pokemon sprites into diamond or pearl?

[D-Trogh]

Is there anything that allows me to insert pokemon sprites into diamond or pearl?I like pizza!
OMG.. Just read through the damn thread!
There's a program, called PokéDSPic, that let's you import/export Pokémon sprites (Even trainer sprites..) from the specific NARC Files.
Do you like pizza?

Your making a large assumption thinking he even knows what NARC files are, or how one would go about extracting one in the first place.

Hey, now. You guys were new at one point too. Give the guy a break, at least he asked a viable question. :P

I'm really sorry everyone. I'm having trouble keeping up with this thread, 41 pages is a bit much for me. Its 1:21 AM here in Hawaii so I'm tired and I have Jr. High graduation today as well and I think I'm gonna throw up at this rate since I can't understand half of what is being said. Again, really sorry. I don't contribute, and I don't usually post, and am more of a ghost entity here if anything. Can someone please summarize the list of tools (no links are required, I'll take initiative there) that are not in the PokeSpam Toolbox (other than PokeTEX)? Maybe then, I can see if I can be more of a help. Of course, if I'm being an idiot for asking all this, I'd rather not be in the way. In that case, feel free to flame me, hate me, or whatever. I'm used to it.

Yeah, well.....
there is a Elite 4 editor and well... I forget. But don't worry, nobody in this thread will
flame or do anything like that. But what do you mean by "I'm having trouble keeping
up this thread"? :\ This thread isn't like other threads that will do anything horrible
like that anyway! ;) You can always click the "Last>>>" button that's a faster way of getting to the last page!

The elite 4 editor was made by pokespam.

[Gabe_c]

hey, I made one too! It also contain rival editor and Gym editor(-: But i think that it's also a part of Pokespams tools(-:
GFF Also did one (For PS too)

Thethethethe, Found the traniers, and the system of them... But it was some thing he just posted in many thread, and said any one could use it... He even said at PHC that people could make tools of it... But i was only telling how the traniers did work... But i think that's all... I was the one who made tranier list..? That's pretty much all by PokeSpam..?

Unless that Darhtatron's tutorials, and hex function belongs too you too...
By the way... Thanks Dartharon! (Miss spelled your name... sorry)

Technically they are, since Thethethethe and Darthatron are a part of Pokespam. xD

I'll become a more active part of Pokespam now, since school is now officially over for me.

[DeckuZora]

Sorry, I'm feeling slightly better now. I'm just waiting for graduation night now. I couldn't keep up with this thread though. I mean, what everyone was posting, I couldn't figure out what was discredited and what was taken seriously. After a while I started to lose it. THank you very much Silver.

[Jirbytaylor]

This is probably a stupid question, but where can I find a working version of NarcTool or PokeDSPic? I've extracted my Diamond rom and want to use some of the menu/stat elements in my game - that ISN'T a hack, but with Pokemon Essentials. NarcTool closes as soon as it starts and I can't find PokeDSPic anywhere.
I was looking through this topic and saw someone mention "TLP", what is this?

[Martin™]

Well, I am happy to see how big effort are you putting to the subject of DP hacking, but I don't like the way some of the tool makers respond to people who don't read 40*25 posts plus some more. You just call them ignorant kids and go away. I hope I didn't insult anyone, but I just don't like such rude behaviour.

If I were you, I would consider a new thread being opened, with someone active as a thread creator so he or she can update the first post regularly with some kind of summary. It takes ages till you get some infromation stuck between 40 pages in a bunch of "i am happy cant wait" posts. Think about it.

I know I end up sounding like a jerk, but the point of the thread is to talk about DP hacking, not for someone to come in every day and say they're sorry they couldn't read through the last 20 pages. If they care about knowing what's going on in DP hacking enough they should read it, it's plain and simple. As for the "ignorant kids" if you look at my profile you will get an ok idea of what I'm talking about. If I say I'm working on a map editor (which I'm not anymore) then asking me repeatedly won't speed up the process, it will just make me angry. I do not mean to say that everyone who hasn't read through the whole thread is an ignorant kid, I mean the people who still request tools and so on from me, and when I tell them that they weren't released ask why. I'll just clear this up now, If someone hasn't released a tool, it's because it doesn't work, or it just sucks. Anyway, I'm sorry for seeming like a jerk, but I get a lot of crap about the programs, so I tend to assume that everyone asking is a "ignorant kid", which I have seen is not always the case, but it is unfortunately common.

[secretcharly]

Keep working gabe.
Dont surrender.

[E-Bag]

Someone else is doing a map editor, they are more capable then anyone from PokeSpam. I appreciate your support, but we don't want to end up the EliteMap to they're AdvanceMap, So for now we're going to focus on scripting.

[EvilCrazyMonkey]

Just wondering, what computer language do you use to code PokeSpam applications? If C or C++, what GUI toolkit?
I can help code applications if needed.

[E-Bag]

Mostly Visual Basic 6 and VB.NET, but I just started learning C#, so I might do some tools in that. Also, I posted some map editing stuff in the tutorials section today, it just needs to be approved.

[E-Bag]

eh, VB's really not that hard. Anyway, I was playing around with the 3d models and I did a bit.

http://www.pokecommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=605&pictureid=3592

I changed the mart to a house... the textures didn't come with it tho :( And I also did a few more mapping things to route 201

I was play around with route 201 (as usual) when i found something kinda interesting, the route is divided into 2 maps <_<

A few posts ago you were saying how important is to keep on topic and this topic is DP hacking. Who is ignorant jerk now? :P Not really. Well, good job with the house, by the way ;) I am looking forward to the script editor as well. Umm... will the scripting be much different from the GBA scripting?

[E-Bag]

I'm pretty sure scripting will be different, maybe not from the way the language looks, but the giving items thing is being very annoying >_< That's really all I've tried so far, giving mapping a few last experiments.

[Hiidoran]

Now now, guys let's try to get along.

Nice job on the mapping, Gabe_K! This is coming along really well!
Good luck to everybody diligently working on hacking Diamond and Pearl, I'm extremely proud of you all!

[E-Bag]

We are all getting a long, but if you mean I need to say I love chatot too, then I think I'll pass...

[Pounder_Zeikku]

LOL! gabe, I think you LOVE Luke more :P

This is great work, and it makes me feel sad that I can't make any tools, at the moment but I would try and help with the final bits of research through the hex editing, if you want. Just what hex editor are you all using?

You don't need to sorry for not being able to program... We don't really need prgogramers that much curently, then most inportent part is that we get reseached some stuff... I'm using Hex Workshop, because I like the seach fucntion in it...

Now I gotta ask about some stuff... Is the Italian/Spanish roms intirely different made? I been seaching for the traniers in both, and I did not find a singel number that had any thing to do with it... I have not been looking in a german or france rom yet...

In my eyes it would be way more easy if anybody just would use english roms...

[Mitchman Is]

Holy moley route 201 is 2 maps. So thats why it lags in the middle for me. Nah kiddin couldnt even tell. But hey that said it means route maps might after all be the same size as route maps in the advanced gen. But here no tiles just really cool blocky polygons and textures!

[E-Bag]

No need to be sorry, we've got plenty of programmers. When I discovered mapping I was using 010 editor, then my trial ran out, so I used Hex Workshop for a bit, now I use HxD, and I would highly recommend that. And if you'd like to help with the research then please add me on msn if you have it.

Wow, I thought Horus made some tools that worked on both English and Spanish. I might check the narcs for a Spanish one later, then I could tell you.

Well I have no real idea about route size, but I see no real reason for them to divide it like they did. It could be that there is a maximum size for maps, which would be great.

[Mitchman Is]

Αlso gabe_k I know that the whole roms was ripped apart and every stream of data was uncovered and decoded but what about maps. Think nintendo has very secret deep inside the game johto maps?

Yes they do, Gabe decoded them, and showed them about msn, I can't tell any thing... And he was only able to find the Olivene town... And then some caves we don't know where comes from...

I thought it was impossible to hack ds roms. A-text, A-map,etc. only work for vba roms. What hacking tools could hack a ds game and wouldn't you need some kind of emulator for ds games in order to play it?

[Gabe_c]

No we don't need an emulator? And we only use done tools... Go to http://www.tools-for-pokemon-diamond-and-perl-hacking.com/tools

If you would like to hack Diamond and Pearl you can read this entire thread or do some research.

A whole lot of stuff has been discovered for hacking Diamond and Pearl, but people have made threats and constantly showed disrespect to the point a lot of developers do not see the point in creating things to help these people. Please, be patient with those that are working on this. Greatness takes time. The DS, along with Diamond and Pearl, are the final frontier and its going to take a while before everything is perfect like GBA hacking. If you give the developers time and encouragement things will go a lot more smoothly.

Which is why there is only a changing dimensions tutorial huh? Just so you know most games made with nintendo's tools use a file system... Do you even know anything about the ds system, its header, how it works, its assembly? If you don't then you cannot even come close to saying you can hack dp to the full. Last time I checked just cause you could change a few hex bytes doesn't mean your the "master". You act so high of yourself yet you haven't actually done much, but you expect so much attention and fame, its probably why your hacking anyway's.

You act so high of yourself yet you haven't actually done much, but you expect so much attention and fame, its probably why your hacking anyway's.

I don't want fame, and if your going to attack me then give me an actual reason. Do your own research. I'm sorry that I haven't written a tutorial on everything, but I gave you offsets and for some mapping stuff and almost apparently everyone is too lazy to do their own research. I don't work for you.

[Squeenix]

Which is why there is only a changing dimensions tutorial huh? Just so you know most games made with nintendo's tools use a file system...

Just give him time, you yourself probably isn't a master and don't even know how to decompress the ROM. Every game uses a file system too, yes nintendo had to program it than pack it into an NDS rom. We do not need to know anything about the ds system, we're not like decompiling its firmware or something except how it accesses the data and do you even know how a header works? A header is just the name of the NDS file inside the game like "Pokemon Diamond" "Made by Nintendo" your just stupid and trying to act smart, and he did not just change a few hex bytes, he probably does tens to hundreds of hours of research to het you hacking tools you don't deserve. He doesn't think himself as the "god of hacking" either. And he doesn't expect fame like people taking credits for other's work, he's not saying ALL THE TOOLS WERE MADE BY ME

Thank you :D. And GBChacker, I do know about how the DS system works, and hacking is changing bytes.

You can't take criticism can you? Well then I'll have to bite back! I know a lot about the ds, but not everything. I can see you don't know how the header works. And no its much more than just a little logo. No not every game uses a file system genius. Your post might have meant something if you knew what you were talking about... If you want to hack its systems then yes you do need to know asm.

Yes that is totally just the words nintendo... Just so you know... I didn't write this, I'm merely quoting this to show that its more than just a name. As it is for every system. Please watch your words. Do not say things you don't know about.

@Gabe_K: Can you decompile how the game reads the nds clock? Can you change palettes with arm 9? Can you give me an overview of the system and its locations? Which is why your roms crash huh? If you do not know what your doing even changing one bit could crash your rom. Even if you know and or rip stuff, unless you know how to use the information in hacking its useless to you. Its perfectly fine if you can't. I don't expect you to. You said you hack dp to the full and I don't believe that. You didn't have to get so offended and flame me in my profile. Since you did I'm pretty sure you don't know and you were offended because it was the truth...

[E-Bag]

If I'm wrong then would you mind explaining to me why the stuff I've found works? Ok, you may know a good deal about ds hacking, but is the fact that I've only released one tutorial a reason to insult me?

[GBChacker]

Sure. It was not an insult, but criticism. I said I did not believe that you could hack dp to the full. And I asked if you knew all about the ds and its asm. That is not an insult, but you took offense to it which makes me believe that you don't. What you did with the maps was editing them in bmd format. LoadingNow gave me a link to a viewer, but I lost the link. Ask him yourself. As for the mart, well you edited the script. Most of the stuff has been the same since gold or red.

[E-Bag]

The maps I suppose you mean? Its because you edited where the dimensions were stored. The textures? You changed the name and the game assigns that texture to it. You've edited the placement of the polygons by changing its location bytes. The mart? Because you edited it's script. I haven't seen too much from you. Most of the stuff was the same since like gold or red. Like the pokedex and moves. Also... What you found has nothing to do with what I asked...

I kinda assumed you were a noob who was basically asking if I knew what a narc was :/ The mart was just replacing it's model with another model. I have found more then that, but I don't know a lot about the other stuff. I edit it, it works, I go from there, I don't really do any research on ds stuff past a bit on bmd.

EDIT: I cannot hack everything in diamond and pearl, but I do know a good deal. I have a bmd viewer, but it never works to display maps.

[GBChacker]

Its ok, I forgive you. Btw do you have a msn?
Edit: Nvm. I found it on your profile.

[E-Bag]

Yeah, sorry about insulting you on your profile, my msn is computercore999@hotmail.com

[GBChacker]

Ah ok. Your profile says gabetehownage@hotmail.com though o_0. Might want to change that if its wrong.

it does o_0? guess I got my emails mixed up.

EDIT: Fixed it.

[loadingNOW]

... I have a bmd viewer, but it never works to display maps.
huh? nsbmd *does* work if you copy-pasta the right parts. (read: the part thats the actual bmd0). You cannot really recognize a lot it's no textures and buildings after all. but that's a different problem and actually THAT is one of the problems that needs to be solved like all these things:

- finding out what file descripes what map (filename<->route city name)
- finding the appropiate texture file for each mapfile
- finding out how "imports" work gabe_k obviously made some progress here as the white house shows
i'd love to know more about that.
-any info about collision (probably not so hard to find but to my knowledge noone actually did that yet) warps etc and how they are linked to script files (and what are the script files)
-more info on how to edit polygons is IMHO not required it the meshes are nsbmd format that's well documented,
lets focus on things that are not

also to anyone contributing use the filesystem not raw ofsets. Even if you first found it in raw ofsets. it's way more flexible and helpful if you talk about the ofsets in file xyz & you get way more information that way

[E-Bag]

I didn't do anything with ndsbmd after it didn't display the map first try :/ The white house was just copying another bmd model ans pasting it over the mart. I'm very sure the warps are in the script narc, as I managed to swap a few.

[SkH]

nothing new there. i am not really happy with that since it's not quite as fleximle as i want it to be. console version is in a good shape though

Aww... :(

Anyways what is the console version?

Now that I think about it I'm pretty sure I know about the texture files. I'm pretty sure they are under feilddata/areadata/area_map_tex/map_tex_set.narc. Also, I assume the way it reference the textures is right after the BDHC thing, since that's where textures are on normal bmd models.

[Zanalicious]

Aww... :(

Anyways what is the console version?

the console version is the command prompt version. its the black box with gray text, aka no GUI.

yes there is a section with the names of the used textures and materials (these grass0 strings and so on). The real question remains how does the game find the correct file in fielddata/areadata/area_map_tex/ ?

I know, but as I said there is that BDHC thing there instead of the textures like other models, I'll play around with it and see what I can find.

No thank you! l0ls
I'm still working on my list and I have 150+ entries already ^^
Should be done tomorrow. I'm now watching 'The Last Samurai' (Again :P)

EDIT:
The list is finished. 183 entries/offsets/whatever if anyone is interested :P
Now I just need to test everything, but that needs to wait till tonight, when I'm with my dad.

EDIT2:
People checking this thread will know I released WPEDS.
I didn't test the changes in-game though.

I'd like to see a Text Editor, Map Editor, Pokemon Editor, Trainer Editor, Event Editor, Tag Editor, AND Tittle Editor rolled into one! (And if Possible; a Music Editor) Not to mention the ability to change the graphics a bit.
Kinda like RPG XP.
All the tools into one!
I said RPG XP so you can get an idea of the interface. That would be PERFRECT!

I use POKESAV, and an (R4DS) it is related to ROMs so don't ask.
Sence I can edit the .SAV directly and then load it via R4DS I can save in one spot and change where I am on a map!
I have found out that there are 3 coordinates X, Y, and Z.
Stairs and Coastlines (Where you walk on the waves that crash on the sand) are ALLWAYS Z=x.5
Replace "X" with current height.

It would be cool if I could edit the Pokemon Daimond and Pearl games!
I could create a 4-town and route map with custom events, texts, and labels. Then I could show it off and play it on the go!
I hope these tools come out soon!

I use the cheat code: RUN THROUGH WALLS (Yea the R4DS also supports Action Replay Codes) and I found out somthing intresting!
The ENTIRE WEST-MOST Section of Sinnoh has a MODELESS and TEXTURELESS Sinnoh! You can run into wild Pokemon there and travel the routes without colosions! YOU CAN EVEN SAVE IN THERE(Though I would not reccomend it!) and fly out of there.
If you head to the EASTMOST SIDE of SINNOH this will flip you *%&(! YOU WILL WARP to the EAST SIDE of SINNOH!
If you head north you will reach the inside of buildings I guess?
And South the same (Once again, a guess)
Both NORTH and South I will need to test.
For some reison the cheat code will not allow me to walk through walls in the Battle Tower and the game on occasion stops my movement but then after 2 seconds of resisting will allow me to progress.
I'd like to see another code that allows me to WALK Thrugh Walls and DISABLES ALL COLLISIONS (INCLUDING inside of the BATTLE TOWER)

than we edit the maps using a tool

LOL. That's simple -_-; finding the bmd model isn't the problem, I even gave out offsets for the maps. But you'll need to make a 3d modeling tool, you'll need to figure out how the model references the textures stored in feilddata/areadata/area_map_tex/map_tex_set.narc. Good luck, knowing the narc isn't enough. Don't get people hopes up by saying you know how to find the narc, all your doing is proving that you know how to look through narc files.

Nobody's gonna make it for you, make it yourself. Oh, and don't forget a script editor. It's pointless posting in here about what you want to see. EVERYONE WANTS A MAP EDITOR OR A SCRIPT EDITOR. NOBODY HAS A MAP EDITOR. A few people have a script editor, but it won't ever be public.

You can rip the backgrounds by looking around for them in a rom "unpacker". I recommend tahaxan, as it has a built in viewer. And no, you can view maps in ndsbmd, but without textures, and that picture you posted is actually 3 maps.

[Platinum Lucario]

I'm getting better at the dimensions on the hex editor, all we need to do is find the offset for the Movement Permissions. The Movement Permissions have movements that are an obstacle and movements that are passable.
Btw, I'm using an AR code that turns all movement permissions in the game to "00"
Here's the code:

94000130 FCFD0200
12056C06 00002000
D2000000 00000000
94000130 FCFD0100
12056C06 00001C20
D2000000 00000000

[E-Bag]

I have some ideas about where movement permissions may be, I'll test it when I get home.

Hi All!

Just wanted to say good luck with hacking D/P. It looks really hard, Although I cant hack RSEFRLG properly yet -_-;. Anyway, You're doing a great job.

Sence I can edit the .SAV directly and then load it via R4DS I can save in one spot and change where I am on a map!
I have found out that there are 3 coordinates X, Y, and Z.
Stairs and Coastlines (Where you walk on the waves that crash on the sand) are ALLWAYS Z=x.5
Replace "X" with current height.

It would be cool if I could edit the Pokemon Daimond and Pearl games!
I could create a 4-town and route map with custom events, texts, and labels. Then I could show it off and play it on the go!
I hope these tools come out soon!

I use the cheat code: RUN THROUGH WALLS (Yea the R4DS also supports Action Replay Codes) and I found out somthing intresting!
The ENTIRE WEST-MOST Section of Sinnoh has a MODELESS and TEXTURELESS Sinnoh! You can run into wild Pokemon there and travel the routes without colosions! YOU CAN EVEN SAVE IN THERE(Though I would not reccomend it!) and fly out of there.
If you head to the EASTMOST SIDE of SINNOH this will flip you *%&(! YOU WILL WARP to the EAST SIDE of SINNOH!
If you head north you will reach the inside of buildings I guess?
And South the same (Once again, a guess)
Both NORTH and South I will need to test.
For some reison the cheat code will not allow me to walk through walls in the Battle Tower and the game on occasion stops my movement but then after 2 seconds of resisting will allow me to progress.
I'd like to see another code that allows me to WALK Thrugh Walls and DISABLES ALL COLLISIONS (INCLUDING inside of the BATTLE TOWER)

We all would, but are you actually contributing to this topic, or are you trying to give us your christmas list >.<? A little early, considering its July.

[lostsoul5673]

Wow, all 45 pages, I've read it all, and I have a hex editor and maybe I can be of some help, even if little... Hex editing is confusing, can someone give me some tips?

[E-Bag]

Wow, all 45 pages, I've read it all, and I have a hex editor and maybe I can be of some help, even if little... Hex editing is confusing, can someone give me some tips?

I'd recommend just getting a ds rom unpacker (I recommend tahaxan), look for stuff that has an important looking name, and play around with it.

[lostsoul5673]

Well, I used DSlazy before and was working on customs song for GH: OT, it's easier than this. Yes, I had a .narc unpacker for this reason, but it was confusing to me since it said something to me unable to crate file or something. Forgot where I saved it... It was command line since I found no gui, and I sort of understand cmd...

[E-Bag]

Hmm... I have a DSlazy gui <.< Anyway, to edit the narcs in the files just either search for part of the narc in the file, or in tahaxan it shows the offsets.

[lostsoul5673]

Oh, neat, so Taxahan can search hex or narc, I kind of got confused...

[E-Bag]

It's a narc viewer basically.

[lostsoul5673]

Okay, what do I do with the runtime/dll files, I put them in system32 and go to run and install them?

[E-Bag]

just put them in the same folder as tahaxan.

[blademaury]

please, can you give me the tutorial used in the messagge #79???

[lostsoul5673]

Okay, got it going, but I can't open those picture and tree kind files, the tree icon... Only the raibow, which seem to be color platelets, but I bet you know that. I'm going to go edit something random in the hex, because there's way too many zeros... :P

[E-Bag]

You gotta click on the picture first, then click on the pallet.

[Cy-Chan]

Oop. Posted in the wrong topic... uh...

The work on DP hacking you guys have found is quite astounding! Does D/P generally stick quite close to R/S/FR/LG/E as far as everything goes? Like, rather than G/S/C-R/S/FR/LG/E (which was a massive overhaul), is D/P like an enhancement on R/S/FR/LG/E's code?

[lostsoul5673]

I guess it is from what I read, I want to see if I can edit something near your hometown, since my save file is on my actually game... >.< I'll go mess around with it.
and does no$gba run good, or is iDeas better?

[Virtual Chatot]

I guess it is from what I read, I want to see if I can edit something near your hometown, since my save file is on my actually game... >.< I'll go mess around with it.
and does no$gba run good, or is iDeas better?I myself prefer no$gba, but others like iDeas.

I say try both, and see what works for you.

[lostsoul5673]

Okay, I'm not sure if this is a mess up don't don't flame me if it isn't. I think I darkened the water in the Hometown... I havn't played in a while at the hometown... who does?

You didn't do anything, that's a glitch of the emulator.

[lostsoul5673]

Oh, sorry... didn't know...
And kind-of off topic, but, is there a Missingno of Diamond, I can't get the run through walls working on no$, like when you go into the grass with no pokemon?
Okay, time for more random editing....

[E-Bag]

There is a missingno in DP, but you can't encounter it in wild battles.

[lostsoul5673]

Like when you go into battles without PKMN, walk through walls?

[E-Bag]

pleaseeeeee T_T could I have this tutorial??? --> http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=nywMh5oxZZs&watch_response
pleaseeee, help me!!!1 :(

It's called PokeTEX, or a hex editor, google it.

[lostsoul5673]

@blademaury: Search poketex.exe and it should bring you in this topic and find the post with the translation.

[freelancer91]

unfortunately, I can't get much use out of Diamond and Pearl Hacking because I can't find a PC emulator that will smoothly run it. Can anyone PM me with a decent one?

[E-Bag]

Either NO$GBA or iDeaS, look at the thread next time.

[aznduhx]

I guess D/P is now open for hacking.

I'm waiting to change sprites and maps too!
And the English Version Of D/P is coming out April 22 (for you lucky Americans) so yeah!!!

[lostsoul5673]

what do you mean is? it should be out everywhere

[swampert22]

Dude, the English version was out on April 22 2007, if you haven't played it go out and buy it!

That's funny because I've been playing pearl for more then a year, as have all of my friends, and all of the servers seem to be up... Guess we just got lucky. Anyway, if you want to hack maps, you gotta do it yourself. Try reading next time.

[blademaury]

how to use "poketex"? ? ? i don't speak english

[sammydabammy]

This could be interesting if we could hack the maps and get hundreds of tools for this just like we did in the advanced generation. Then we can have great new ideas and plots to go places where we couldent in advance games!

[E-Bag]

We can hack maps. There are no tools, but loads is possible.

[lostsoul5673]

Neat, I would like to see a building in a place where it isn't, now that is progress, but it is pretty hard to change the structure, I don't know many good offsets, well, I have a folder with a few of the list provided, maybe I can try and change something like an item it's possible. I've bet it's been done though.

[E-Bag]

I know the offset for object placement, but I haven't done a lot with it.

[lostsoul5673]

Yes, I don't know what I can do so I'll cheer from the sidelines. Woo! PokeSpam! I have a funny picture thought. But it's weird. PokeSPAM, :P .

[blademaury]

there is a tutorial that edit the map?

[E-Bag]

Kinda. Not that much editing, but what's not shown in it is pretty obvious.

[Platinum Lucario]

there is a tutorial that edit the map?
Only the dimensions, if you'd like to add a texture, use Tahaxen to extract the files, then look for the palettes. ;)

[E-Bag]

Well if you want to edit the textures assigned to certain stuff look around a bit in the offsets in my tutorial.

[Shadow Magikarp]

Only the dimensions, if you'd like to add a texture, use Tahaxen to extract the files, then look for the palettes. ;)
Only the dimensions, if you'd like to add a texture[whats a texture someone plesse explain], use Tahaxen to extract the files, then look for the palettes.
[ok to find the pallete look at the offset i.e 0x054354
than u get rid of the 0x0 than u wil have 05354
than u put that into D/P pallete editor than u edit ur palletes]

[E-Bag]

Your wrong, taking the 0x0 out changes the offset in no way.

[Gabe_c]

0x just means hex, and 0 has no value when it's in front...

We'll leave that up to you to find out.

[lostsoul5673]

ya know, I barely releaized the big difference between this and the gba version, the sides of the buildings... oh god im stupid... i had it since day one, and i kinda noticed a bit, and I was confused the first time i played if i was moving square by square... or completely free...

Yeah... That's kinda a sorta big detail...

[Platinum Lucario]

I'm probably wondering about making movement permissions on D/P.
They can be edited, but at the moment I'm thinking about the Music Editing on the DS as I'm pretty
sure that it does use the same things as GBA games do, exept it has more instuments then the GBA games do. I know that I haven't found a converter for the .mid files on DS yet, not even on Google.

[PeRfEcTInZaNaTy]

thankx dude the editing programs

[Lugia100]

Do D/P hacking tools work better on windows vista or windows xp?

[E-Bag]

Do D/P hacking tools work better on windows vista or windows xp?

From my experience it really doesn't matter.

[geohoundz55]

Pretty Confusing, but thanks!

[LegolunaticXCIX]

Hi! I was wondering if someone could send me the Tahaxan Runtimes, (tahaxan was mentioned earlier in the thread) because when I download them from the official site the file is always corrupted.

[GBChacker]

The ds music is documented and there are tools to convert wav files and such into bins, mostly used for homebrews though, so I'm not sure what the big deal is :\. Also SR, you even know how music works in the gba or ds? Or what the notes, tunes, operaters, and everything else's hex values are? Do you know the I\O sound channels? They're very diffrent in gba and ds, you shouldn't be claiming things you know nothing about.

[E-Bag]

He only said he was pretty sure, he never claimed to know how it worked on the ds.

[Gabe_c]

He only said he was pretty sure, he never claimed to know how it worked on the ds.

He never claimed, but propply only got the idea through gameplay...

[GBChacker]

If your saying your pretty sure your making a claim. Son Sobbe is probably right, that he got the idea from gameplay.

[mistersmeargle]

I was very common around here a few months ago, I was doing spriting for Antwhan and itman, I was a almost daily contributor to several hack topics including Nautical Requiem and Piratite and I'm pretty sure that I was stalking you're Mystery Dungeon hacking thread for a week because I wanted to hack MD so much. And you must be joking if you think I have the time and patience to read that many pages.

Question, having been very interested in the GBA music scene, has anyone really looked into changing DP's music yet or is that still far off?

[D-Trogh]

I never tried it, as I don't really care about the music..

No. If you want to know you can read the thread. If you don't want to read it then you can remain left uninformed, but we're not just going to tell everyone who posts here what's been done.

thanks to gabe for providing die binary ^^

[sabrina-psychic]

This is going to take all of you wayyyyyyyyyy back, but I am in desperate need of assistance. I am having extreme difficulty with using poketex. I want to be able to change the sprite of my character (into saffron city gym leader sabrina would be ultimately amazing), but I am playing as a female and i want to be able to spice it up a bit. So could somebody please show me how to edit my character on pokemon diamond. An in depth tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!!

ah where are these located in the rom? I'm having trouble finding them.

[Poryhack]

@Magnius: /data/data/sound/sound_data.sdat

I've read the entire thread but found no mention of editing the pokemon sprites. (Yes, I know PokeTEX does trainer sprites.) I posted in the simple questions thread about it and got ignored, so I'm gonna post here.

Through much trial and error I've gotten PokeDSPic to somewhat work. (I've also found that the palettes have to be manualy edited in the process and that Photoshop apparently can't index them correctly.) However it still screws up my sprite a bit.

I'd appreciate if someone could take a look and tell me how to fix this or at least that I'm doing nothing wrong. I have a feeling the problems may just be a result of bugs in the program; so maybe now that it's been open-sourced they can be fixed.

Anyway, here's a comparison (original is on the left):

Ah thanks, so once I extract it, will the converting programs be enough to extract and reinsert stuff into the "sdat" file? Just wondering.

[Poryhack]

Sorry, no idea. Guess you'll have to try it and find out. :P

[Magnius]

Ah, I see. Well, researched it and while there seems to be a way to extract stuff from it, there's yet to be a good way to insert music back into the game. Hopefully someone will eventually make a program for recompiling sdat files though.

[sabrina-psychic]

Eh, new program out, FYI. 2 links in my sig. It's real this time, not tic tac toe XD

Lol cooley I'll try something with it, I only know basic things though :) so no one call me names if ive done something thats been done already..

[sabrina-psychic]

How do you edit your character's colors and such using PokeTEX and is it possible to play as other sprites like Ace Trainers or psychics?

[Satoshi-Ash]

Could someone tell me all the tools that have been developed for Diamond and Pearl hacking? I really would find it a pain to search through this entire thread.

[Poryhack]

All the tools that have been released are available in the toolbox forum. No need to read the entire thread.

[E-Bag]

I guess this really Doesn't help at all does it?

Not really, I don't see what you would use them for.

[Gabe_c]

Not really, I don't see what you would use them for.

The list got an awesome layout... I love it!

[sharpshark]

I was wondering if is there any hacking program that create sprites for pearl & diamond. Can anyone lead me to them?

[E-Bag]

If anyone's interested I released a bit of my scripting research on another forum, there's a link in my signature.

[destinedjagold]

yah... I noticed that. :)
it was really a great finding and discovery, gabe. ;)

though I am not really interested in DP hacking as of now though. :\
but still, keep it up. ;)

[E-Bag]

Thanks :) Hopefully I'll be updating it a bit soon. I can understand why you wouldn't be interested by DP hacking at the moment, but in time it'll be (semi-easily) hackable.

[destinedjagold]

I think, in your mind, you are thinking, that I don't like to hack D/P yet is because there are no tools yet, right? :\

well, to be honest, I don't like to hack D/P 'cause everything's slow;battle animation, running and walking, surfing, etc. :\

Though I might change my mind.
anyways, you are truly making a great job. :)

well, to be honest, I don't like to hack D/P 'cause everything's slow;battle animation, running and walking, surfing, etc. :\

Though I might change my mind.
anyways, you are truly making a great job. :)

Well...
Yeah, I agree with you Time, xD.
It is really frustrating trying to play/test a hack
on NO$GBA because of the speed...

But as for me, I own a M3 Ds Real, so I can test/play my
DP hacks on a real DS, so speed ain't really
a problem for me :P

And Gabe_K;
You did a great job, finidng and editing those/that
script ^^

It feels like we are getting closer and closer,
to learning to (almost) completely hack D &P.

True, but not when you have the right emulator.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Hmm...Hacking D/P eh?
Interesting...
Well, it'll be interesting when we advance more!

Well, I'll tell you one thing, and that's that the emulation is pretty good and ready. No$gba is pretty fast, although maybe not so for D/P. FFTA2 runs faster and better than on DS!

It is pretty advance... And it doesn't get more advanced by people saying they want it to.

Hey :) Are You Able To Just Post Codes On This Thread :)

[E-Bag]

...I guess so <_<... What kind of codes?

[David_Marshall]

[E-Bag]

Gabe, I think you speak between eachother, Dark_Lakitu (And DJG whos post at last page)
Sorry if this isn't what you want, I just get this idea my washing your earlier posts.. I don't think they really want to hack it, just modde it, which you're dum if you say it's advanced... I know people started to make DP hacks...But In my eyes they're Cr*p... just to change sprites, make some strong traniers, now you can cacth all pokemon in the will... you got a triangle piece of grass, and all people just has a givepokemon script (which is wrote with roman numbers) or open the townmap...
at the time we got no mapping, no scripting...

You might be able to change some and are at your way, but that's deffently not advanced yet for doing a hack...

No, but he was just supporting your attempts, bro. Also, we've made advancements, but you have to admit there's tons we don't know. Albeit it small things, they're things that would have to be researched much further if we hope to have hacks any more original than hacks of previous games. For example, the television at the start of the game, or the pictures of the starters in the breifcases; even the breifcase itself, changing it to something else. There's a lot of other stuff, too, obviously, but I'm too tired to list it all. My point is, we have a lot of stuff to work on still, if we plan to get further than we did in the last couple games, right?

Ho. You forgot the thing called HEX EDITING. Sure, mapping is crap-as-hard on it but we can still script! I mean, seriously! All someone has to do is experimentally find everything!

I mean, we use hex to script in G/S/C, don't we?

Yes but noone DID that so far at least there is no doc about it. In contrast to GSC which probably has the most advanced script doc ever.

for example all i can tell you about scripting so far is the part that game released and some stuff i found based on that info. The fact that all commands are 2 bytes long this time. And *some* copy byte commands and loadptrs.
All not very advanced stuff

We're working on the scripting dude, it takes time to get all the commands.

[Sk8er Prince]

What kind of scripts?

Earthquake Scripts?

No, Gabe and Pokespam is only working at Movement commands... That's just how script-decoders are working... So you'll only be able to do movements scripts...
