-----

I haven't seen a tool that edits egg moves yet, so I decided to make my own. Please try it out and tell me how it works for you.

Since it seems that some people don't realize what this program does, i'll quote what I said in a post further down the page:

The purpose of the program is to edit the egg moves of pokemon. Egg moves are the moves that a pokemon will learn when it hatches from a egg if its father knew the move (excluding those of TMs).

Each line in the listbox that the program shows after you load a rom is an entry in the list of egg moves of that rom. All the moves below a name in the list until the next name are egg moves of that pokemon. The names of moves are indented to the right, while those of pokemon are not.

And of course, please BACK UP YOUR ROM before using this program. I've tested it as much as I can to work out all the bugs, but as any programmer should know, this doesn't always stop one from sneaking in. If you do encounter an error, describe to me the steps you took exactly so I can reproduce the error and then fix it.

Right now it supports all english and french generation 3 games (FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald), and I'm willing to add support for other languages if the offsets of the Pokemon names, move names, and egg moves are provided to me. Contact me via PM or email for information on how to do so.

What versions does this work for?

Thanks for this. This will come in handy.

The readme included (if anyone wants to read it!) Says all English Version Generation 3 games are editable. Apparently.

Ah ok.
I wanted to know before I downloaded...

[kaka1918]

I have not understood is that very fact can be programmed

Sorry, I forgot to include such information in the first post. (I've added it now.) It works for english language generation 3 games (FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald). If one of these versions doesn't work you, you or I may have a bad rom dump, or one with different offsets than normal anyways.

I don't understand what you're trying to say. (You can say it in French if you want.)

I'll try this out real soon. It took me a minute to realize what this did but then it hit me. thanks for making this tool.

Thank you for the thanks. I decided to make it for a couple reasons really. 1) I couldn't find a tool that already did it. 2) It would be interesting to program. and 3) Egg move editing is an area that probably gets ignored by many people when making hacks due to it's elusive documentation (Seriously, the only source information I could find on them was from Teh Baro's post in the YAPE thread. Information like that should really be stored in the documents and tutorials section imho.) and lack of existing tools, though they would be especially important in a hack that uses fakemon. Making a tool to make editing the moves easier will encourage people to be more creative in the area.

I'm willing to make tools that edit other almost obscure things as well. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the Vs. Seeker Text. Sure, it's easy to edit with a hex editor, but repointing is never fun done manually. I'm surprised that A-Text doesn't edit it. Any other suggestions of areas that don't have tools yet?

Btw, I've found an error in the current version, I'll make an update fixing it tomorrow. Also, I'm planning/beginning to code the next version right now. It'll support French generation III roms and also have the option of the interface's text being in French. It'll also check to see if there's any duplicate entries in the egg move list, then alert the user so they can use those slots more wisely. Also, I'll try to see if it's possible to repoint the whole list. If it is, then one's list can be pretty much as long as they want. Of course, the program would repoint the list for you then.

Estimated time until completion: at least a week. It depends on how busy I am from day to day really.

[kaka1918]

Ok thanks for my question

[FinalZero]

Since I got the French translations faster than I expected, I decided to forgoe the small update to fix the Modify and Insert buttons, and instead add everything else I was planning as well.

Version 1.1.0 : http://jc.tech-galaxy.com/EggMoveEditor-1.1.0.zip

Things changed in this version:

Version 1.1.0 - May 31st, 2009
-------------------------------
- Fixed an error with the modify button and the insert button.
- Added support for all French language generation III games.
- Added a language tab under the options menu to change the language of the interface. English and French interfaces are available.
- Let roms that don't end with .gba able to be opened.
- Egg move lists that are corrupt are now uncorrupted by the program automatically.
- Fixed "Number of Pokemon" and "Number of Moves" labels.
- Added a button that checks for duplicate entries, but it doesn't work properly yet so it's disabled for now.

This is neat. Small, but probably useful in the long run. Good job, and thanks much. ^^

Especially if you want to create entirely new Pokemon.

nice job FINALZERO! is a very interesting tool! =)=)=)=)

[0m3GA ARS3NAL]

This will come in handy.... good job... err... man? Woman?
Uhh... heheh =D
(You don't have it posted, so I can't tell!)

[Kazukii]

This sounds quite cool

Male, as is the character in my avatar.

Thanks. I'll get around to getting an update that has a working duplicator finder soon.

This sounds quite cool

Your sig is creepy btw.

Erm... well... wow... that's damned effective drag there.

But that's besides the point... I'm having a hell of a time trying to download your program. My dad's goram firewall keeps on blocking it from coming. It's been doing that to me alot lately... does it have a rom file in it? All roms get stopped at the hardware. Pile of *kicks computer* Anyways... PM me if you have the time for troubleshooting that.

It has no rom files included, just the program and 4 .dll files. Besides, I'm not sure how your firewall would detect if something's a rom file or not? I've not heard of Gor(h?)am firewall before, so I'm not sure what advice to give you beyond what BananasGoMoo said.

I do have the time to troubleshoot this stuff with you if you wish; Send me a PM with what you wish me to do to try to help.

Thanks. I'll get around to getting an update that has a working duplicator finder soon.

Eh, it looks like I'll have to eat my old words here; Trying to get a button to detect duplicate entries has proved most difficult; I've abandoned it indefinitely. Just don't start adding random entries that you won't be able to keep track of easily into the middle of the list, OK? =p

[exzibit15]

can you reupload the eggmove editor??

[FinalZero]

can you reupload the eggmove editor??

I'm sorry, I was changing around the names of the files I'm storing there, and I forgot to change the links in this thread. I've updated the links so it should work now. Also, if it fails again you can always just go to my main page and download it from there. =p http://jc.tech-galaxy.com/
