Tool: Advanced Cry Editor

Today, I am proud to release a new tool. It is not another script editor or intro editor, but something that hasn't been made yet: A cry editor.

Features

• Easy to Use GUI
• Compatible with all ROMs and languages.
• Speedy ROM Writing

System Requirements

• Windows Xp, Vista, or 7
• .Net Runtime v4.0

Change Log

Version 1.0 - Initial Release
Version 1.1 - Fixed a bug that limited the length of the cries. New max length is 2.25.
Added online updates.
Added multithreaded writes to ROM.
Changes Audio Library to one without an advertisement.
Fixed a few grammar errors and bugs in the code.
Added more safety checks when writing to the ROM.

Version 1.2

I see a little grammatical mistake:
...Windows Sound Recorder so its length is less than 2 seconds. (You wrote it's.)
But I'll certainly be using it.

I'll fix that. It's only a first release so far. :)

Hooray! Does this one automatically re-point to free-space?
Does it re-write the old cry with '0xFF' bytes in the case of a repoint?
What's it written in?
[and also, TS] I think that an apostrophe is supposed to be used in case of possession.

Yes, it repoints to free space automatically. It also makes sure that there is enough free space for the cry to be written. As for the overwrite thing, I'm going to try and figure that out.

Team Fail said:

Nope. It's its. This tool looks useful. I do want to test something though. Will it insert even if the sound is longer than two seconds? Or will it auto-abort?

Click to expand...

Yes, but most cries don't work over that length from what I've seen.

I have two questions:
1. Can i just replace in-game cries like just copy the offset of one Pokemon's cry and insert it into another?
2. Sorry for asking, but the application doesn't work for me. It says something about .NET, v4.0.30319.

Click to expand...

1. Not yet, but I'll add that support.
2. You need .NET runtime v4.0. Google it, and it should be the first link.

As of now, I'll be fixing the spelling error(s), speeding up the process of inserting, switching the audio library to one without an ad, and adding online updates. After I get those things out of the way, I'll add more "fun stuff" like pitch adjustment, possibly speed adjustment, cry swapping, and so on.

Team Fail said:

Most, but not all. Which ones do work that are over 2 seconds. I know there is Jynx, but which other ones are there?

Click to expand...

Arceus, Monferno, Shaymin, ones like that. The length issue is also partly because of a bug in the code, which I fixed. As soon as I get online updating, I'll release the fixed version. ;)

btw, How many people have got this working sucessfully?

It doesn't work for me. Inserting cries and trying to encounter those Pokemon's cries in-game result in either no sound or, for the 252-276 ? Pokemon, still an Unown cry.

I should have said something about that. You cannot repoint the 25 pokemon between Celebi and Treeko. The game purposely loads the unown cry instead of using the cry table, thus not allowing those pokemon.

Decimal Number wrong [?]

This tool is great! nice job shiny quagsire. :)

It was a bug in the code. It's fixed now though, ;)

A-Cry v. 1.1 Released!

This version is a bugfix update, and fixes several bugs. Now all 8bit 11kHz cries can be inserted, and the limit by the game is 2.25, which is more than enough really. It also adds online updates, safer cry inserting, faster ROM writing, a new audio library without an ad, and several small bugfixes.

:D Thanks Shiny Quagsire, like Superman, you saved the day :P
I'm going to test this new Version!!!

It says:

"An error has occured while converting the WAV to GBA format.
Make sure your cry is an 8bit 11khz WAV file, then try again. (It is)
Error: Access to the path "C:\temp.wav" is denied."

Try running it as administrator, and try again.

Alright, it works now. Thanks. :)

*Edit: When I try to change a cry in Emerald (Bulbasaur -> Snivy), the sound doesn't play. Why?

Does this also work with NDS roms?

No, it was made for GBA ROMs only.

How come when I replace a cry in Pokemon Emerald, there is always a glitch like when you are about to catch a pokemon, and when you go to bag, the screen goes blank or the game restarts. Can anyone help me?

Cry replacing on Emerald just doesn't work for me :/ Every time I try to replace a cry, it is not played.

Thats funny, because when I use Pokemon Emerald, it works but there is always a glitch.
