Just out of curiosity, will this tool ever work for those who don't use JPAN's hacked engine?

Yeah... Not all are using and willing to use the engine...

For the other roms the best I can do is repoint the sprites of the original table. That way you would be able to have 255 OWs total(~100 new OWs). But you won't be able to insert new tables, as this is a feature of JPAN's engine.

It seems like it really should as is in theory, no?
Just always use Table 1 and you can add OWs that way...

You can't do that. The original OW Table would be Table 0, but the tool doesn't mess with it at all. Table 1 is going to be the first table you insert

I see... Well, that's better than nothing... ^^ Hopefully, you will plan to add that functionality or make another tool which can do that soon...

I can't find one for Fairy Arceus and White Kyurem...

It's funny, because I was just updating the tool in order to automatically insert the pokemon OWs from Spriters Recource (with the palettes)

Right now, I just finished the "inserting the image" part. The only thing remaining is to insert and the palettes ^^

Also, I can see a basic image viewer in the tool coming really soon!

Here's the shiny for Gen. 6:

Here's a Fairy Arceus based from the Spriters Resource instead:

Only White Kyurem left...

This looks awesome! I'll make sure to try it out. :)

Thank you very mauch! :)

Also I have an update, I just finished the palette part! Now the tool can automatically insert a pokemon from Spriters Recourse sheets (64x128)!

But, I have encountered a problem. No$gba seems to work flawlessly with the inserted pokemon whereas the gba only loads correctly some of them. Here's what I mean

No$gba:

Any ideas why this is happening?
Also, the OWs load fine on my phone's emulator too ~_~

~~~ Edit ~~~

This bug was fixed in the latest version ^^

Also added the image viewer, since OWE RE wasn't showing correctly palettes after some number.

Another thing I forgot to note is that this version is incompatible with the first. So if any of you imported any table with the previous one, make sure to delete that table with its own clear table button. Then you can normally use this tool

Cool tool, man!:D

When I've seen the update, I was really hoping an option to insert new tables also in Emerald... I remember you said that with the DSLN patch in Emerald it was possible... isn't it?

Anyway, keep it up, man!:D

PD: Only missing a tool to insert more trainer sprites... I don't understand why anyone hasn't thought of that.

Glad to see you got the bug fixed!

Thanks, although I thought I had fixed it in an earlier version, but it wasn't. In the end the reason had to do with the addresses the data was stored.

Support for DSLN is the next thing I'll be working on, and it wont take take long ^^
