I have found how trainer battles are scripted. I will update later with some examples. These are done in two different ways. One strictly from the event file and another through the scripts.

Pichu2000, do you know if there is any place that stores which event files and script files are associated for a certain map?

No I don't konw yet... I found events and script trying and trying...

SCV · #27 December 12th, 2008, 10:09 AM

OK, here is an example of trainer battle events and of trainer battle scripts.

These are trainers in Route 202.

Code:

00 00 04 00 0F 00 01 00 00 00 B8 0B 01 00 05 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 A6 00 2D 03 00 00 01 00 
01 00 06 00 0F 00 01 00 00 00 BA 0B 01 00 04 00 
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B5 00 32 03 00 00 01 00
02 00 04 00 0F 00 01 00 00 00 B9 0B 01 00 05 00 
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 B9 00 24 03 00 00 01 00

For certain battles, the battle is linked from the event file by using a number between 0xBB8 and 0xF09. These battles are ordered according to trdata.narc and trpoke.narc

This is the second battle with Cyrus:

E5 00 94 01 00 00 EC

If you search the script file for E500 you will get 102 instances. Not all of these are trainer battles. Only the ones that have a number between 0x1 and 0x1 and 0x351.

Here's a list of Warp - Maps

This should be

74 00 6B 03 9C 01 00 00
[2 bytes for X coordinate] [2 bytes for Y coordinate] [two bytes for Map Number] [2 bytes for warp number within that map]

Will update later with a bit more about the structure of event files.

EDIT:
As promised, here is some information on the structure of the event files.

The event files have 4 sections.
As of now I don't know what the first and last are for but I will figure it out.

The file starts out with 4 bytes telling you how many of the first type of events there are. Then each entry is 0x14 bytes long.
Then come 4 bytes telling you how many "person" events there are. Each person event is 0x20 bytes long.
Then come 4 bytes telling you how many warps there are. Each warp event is 0xC bytes long.
Then come 4 bytes telling you how many of the fourth type of events there are. Each of these events is 0x10 bytes long.

Not all locations use all of these types of event. When a type is not used the 4 bytes which tell you how many of that type there are will be 00000000, then then next 4 bytes will be how many of the next type of event there are.

There are a few event files which don't have any events at all. The look like:
00000000 0000000 00000000 00000000

Pichu2000 your tutorial is super, but I don't know how to change the hero's sprite. I would like change the sprite of hero in the sprite of Lucario guy. Can you help me please? What hexa code can change the sprite and the line where the code must to change. (sorry for my english, I learn in school in Switzerland)

Are you talking about the trainer battle sprite or the overworld sprite?

lugialucario · #30 January 5th, 2009, 06:17 PM

I would like the both sprite if it's possible

I posted a list of the pokeball throw sequences here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpos...postcount=1507

Look in the thread that I link to in my sig and there is a link to a zip file with some tools that will allow you to do this. (Its at the beginning of the basics section).

What you need to do is extract the narc containing the sequence for Riley and the palette for Riley as well as those two files. Do this with tahaxan tihaxa. Then use PPNFR (also included in the zip) to insert the palette and then the sequence for riley into the place where the palette and the sequence for the hero is (respectively).

For the back sprite and the front sprite use loadingNOW's PokeDSPic, get it at http://pokeguide.filb.de/, to find the values for the image in \poketool\trgra\trbgra.narc and \poketool\trgra\trfgra.narc. You can extract the riley ones and insert them into the spot where the hero's are with PokeDSPic or use Tahaxan tihaxa and PPNFR as well.

There is a list of offsets for the overworld sprites for DP here: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showpos...postcount=1504

take the ones for DP and make a file named list.txt and put it in a directory with PokeTex. Then open your DP rom in PokeTex and find the overworld sprites for the hero and Riley. Use tahaxan tihaxa, look in \data\mmodel\ and find the files that would inclode those offsets. Extract the one for riley and insert it with PPNFR into the spot for the hero.

This is a really way job if you know what you are doing. Try to do it and if you have questions let me know.

If by any change you don't know what extracting narc files or files inside narc files means, read about it in the thread I link to in my sig.

NOTE: This will not edit the overworld sprites for the hero using surf or fishing, etc. For that you would have to edit that manually using PokeTex. You can find an Poketex that is in english (for the most part IIRC) in the Diamond & Pearl & Platinum Hacking thread. Use the search function to search there.

Thanks you very much SCV for the help

The part for the overworld sprite does not work as I thought.
I will update later with the right process.

pichu2000 · #34 January 8th, 2009, 02:49 PM

I update first post with preliminary information of script!

Shirin · #35 January 17th, 2009, 11:04 PM

Ohh a useful D/P document! i will see if the work but I think they do.
Good job of finding this data, pichu2000!

pichu2000 · #36 May 29th, 2009, 06:54 PM

Big Update!!!
I have insert all progress abourt scripting that I and Scv had during this month.+
See first post script section

exe34 · #37 July 24th, 2009, 07:07 AM

cool but its tooo difficult

FreakyLocz14 · #38 July 24th, 2009, 07:34 PM

This can apply to hacking Platinum as well right?

codemonkey85 · #39 August 5th, 2009, 03:38 AM

Hey pichu2000,

By any chance do you have a list (or partial list) of map "warp" IDs for Pokémon Platinum in addition to the ones you posted? It would be very useful to me, as I am programming a code library for Pokémon DS save file hacking (which incidentally will be open source).

Thanks for reading, and thanks for posting the Diamond / Pearl IDs! I looked all over for those.

Sure!
Here's Warp List for Platinum

Nice work

But i doubt that i'll ever try to understand Hex..... its sooo annoying...

madarawolf · #43 November 13th, 2009, 09:16 PM

O.K. I'm hacking Platinum and I was wondering if there is away to make the maps and tiles not look like a pile of random colors everywhere.

Toxicroak · #44 December 30th, 2009, 11:05 PM

I give up, mines in Japanese.
This stuff is way to complicated for me.

is there a program where you can see the place your editing and click in the different sprites?

sir.euge · #45 December 30th, 2009, 11:27 PM

I'm really glad somepeople out there are still trying to take apart the nds rom images. Waiting for a tool cuz I'm still a noob. Good luck!

Umbreonic Aura · #46 March 5th, 2010, 03:27 PM

Ok I have recently become more active in the 4th Gen Area and i am making a 4th Gen Tool Box,
My theoretical map editor "Diamond Map" has not even began programming because of a lack of data etc. knowlage etc.
So I am doing Diamond Script Editor In the mean time.
Check in the Toolbox or here for updates,

humanguy2000 · #47 April 14th, 2010, 11:56 AM

A diamond map? Sounds good. I found this in teh toolbox. It actually works!

Spoiler:

I think the tool could be converted in a map editor but I think that might be way too hard. Good luck with DS map or whatever your calling it ;-)

EDIT: Is there anything about how do swap textures? I'm trying to replace twinleaf town with littleroot town. I just need to know how to use this to edit teh tiles. And how did you move the flowers?

pichu2000 · #48 April 19th, 2010, 04:14 PM

I rewrite all the tutorial, cleaning up some obsolete information and other stuff.
Good hacking!

shubshub · #49 December 11th, 2010, 11:32 PM

Im going to usr this for my diamond hack but is it in english?
