Adding new evolution methods [FR]

PurpleOrange said:

yeah i was unsure how to do the hex part, does each specific map have a number that corresponds or what?

Percy said:

I have a new question, I hope ya'll don't mind! In that Male & Female Evolution routines, you said, "(please don't forget to update your pokemon base stats table...)"
What do you mean by that?

Click to expand...

Just curious, was anyone able to make Shellder disappear after a Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro with a Shellder in the party?

Click to expand...

I am trying this after I put the National Dex to work together with the Pokédex, and I believe that's the only evolution that nobody solved in this thread.

Click to expand...

Just to make sure, Combee's evolution and Froslass and Gallade's were also covered? I know that Level up + Item was.
Anyways, just checking guys. Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Forgot this other question:
I am asking this simultaneously in another thread, but just to make sure. Is there a way I can make Pokémon transform? I'm asking this because of Rotom's and Shaymin's forms, and then I learned Giratina has different versions too. Is there any way to pull that, transformations (by holding items, I belive would be the easier way) and not evolutions?
And how does that work in the Pokédex? Like the Unown, the first you capture is shown within the Pokédex adn the rest you just see checking each Pokémon? And how would I add two or more Pokédex entries (for each transformation form) occupying only one number? Never played the games after Generation III, I'm curious.

Yes, just use the evolve with other mon in party routine, G3HS has the arguments for this explained in the OP.

kearnseyboy6 said:

You mean you only want the chellder evolution to work after the National Dex is received? Then you need a new routine that is the exact same as the above one and just use a flag check.

Combee's: Yes
Frosslass/Gallade: No

FamiliaWerneck said:

After I find "C4 2F 04 08" at 0X42FC0, how do I change the pointer to 00900000 (same place OP put his code)?
Also, why the hex code stills red after I paste it over 00900000 data?

Click to expand...

BlackWhiteRobin said:

You reverse it, i.e. make 900000 to 00 00 90 08.
Next, it is red because you have changed the file and haven't saved the changes you've made. Pressing ctrl+s or File>Save will make it disappear. ^_^

Mustachemon said:

The patch someone posted does not work with MrDollSteak's rombase. Could someone please add a patch that works with the rombase?

Edit: It probably has to do with the .ini, I'll investigate.

Edit 2: Fixed it. Just a quick .ini change and I got it to work! :)

Click to expand...

FamiliaWerneck said:

Does anyone know what changes I have to make to the ini files so the patch for the evolutions works in other tools with MrDS's Rombase?
It apparently works, as Mustachemon himself already did it.
Also, after applying the patch, how can I make new evolutions? I just continue the process skipping "step 1"? Or will I still have to expand the tables once more?
Thanks in advance, guys.

kearnseyboy6 said:

I'm not really sure, I know he repoints the move table, so you need to fix that. Maybe the Items?? But the steps are the same.

FamiliaWerneck said:

I managed to make it work. I've changed the ini (Just repointed the offsets in the .ini the guy provided to match the offsets in MrDS' 1.5a ini) and added the new evolutions to the evolution methods and all.
I have a doubt, though. Both .inis had the same evolutions table offsets, same everything, but the number of types and moves.
How did Ollie11 expanded the evolutions table without moving it to some new free space?

Also, kearnseyboy6, when you said you can't do a Level+Item evolution because the argument was a limiter (it could have only one argument), did you mean that G3HS can only have one argument?
Because YAPE, for example, has both an Item and a Level boxes (but they never unlock at the same time, because no evolution had both things going on).
If, and only if, G3HS had one more argument space, or both MrDS' and Ollie11's patches were compatible with YAPE, would that evolution (Level + Item) be possible?
Sorry asking this again kearnseyboy6, stuff just come together to my head, and seemed possible. I'm just need to be certain of it, before writing an evolution method code for each evolutionary item I believe the game should have. =P

Click to expand...

kearnseyboy6 said:

First question: G3HS will find the table you repointed so don't worry about it.
Item + Level will never work dynamically. In each evolution routine it loads a argument that will customable. But there is only 1 argument in the routine. So trying to have 2 customizable routines won't work... That's also why Aipom will evolve at any level with double hit in my routine. Purely because the move is customizable so I cannot have a custom level too...

I can write a seperate evolution routine for checking 1 move and any level, but then I would need a routine for ancient power too and mimic and rollout... possible just tedious.

I hope that helped! :)

Click to expand...

pokemonlevel++;
if pokemonlevel>49 {
          check if pokemonitem = item199;          // Metal Coat's index number
          if true, goto "evolution routine";
          else break;
}
break;

FamiliaWerneck said:

Yeah, that's the same thing you explained.

I was thinking with Java something like this:

Spoiler:

Onix gets x exp in a fight and levels up

Code:

pokemonlevel++;
if pokemonlevel>49 {
          check if pokemonitem = item199;          // Metal Coat's index number
          if true, goto "evolution routine";
          else break;
}
break;

...and why the hell that could not be possible in ASM, seeming so easy - and mainly possible - in Java ways of thinking (assuming there is a variable for Pokémon item hold and for its level and of course, just creating what I need to get it done =P).

It is possible XD

I just asked this 'cause I saw the argument box in G3HS and remembered there was one for item and one for level in YAPE. Thought it could be a limitation of the tool G3HS...
Anyways, I'll write a code for every evolutionary item, then. It is goddamn tedious, but it's better than not having it.
Thanks again man!

EDIT: http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=8793205#post8793205
Can I use this with Mantyke's evolution method for the Slowpoke idea?

EDIT 2: Something that occurred to me today. The tables you referred in OP that we have to extend contain pointers to the actual evolution routines, right?
Can I, instead of expanding, just change the pointer of an existing evolution (that I'll not use, like "Trade" or "Trade+Item") to the pointer of my new evolution routine?
That way I wouldn't have to expand the table for the pointers.
Can I do it? Just assemble a routine for a new evolution and swap its pointer with an existing one I'm not going to use?

Click to expand...

kearnseyboy6 said:

Yes it's possible just tedious. YAPE will cause errors or not work because there is definitely only 1 parameter:

@FamiliaWerneck
I'll make a evo routine that works for this. Granted as you said, G3HS only has one param so the items used will be based off of a table, is that ok?

Click to expand...

kearnseyboy6 said:

Final notes, I am a bit vague on the structure of the routine musts because I am still learning it. However finally all evolutions will be open-sourced and available below in the spoiler (will add more over time).

Evolutions

NOTE: If you have used the "Changed Number of Evolutions per MON'" button on G3HS, these routines ain't going to work.

Assemble them anyway and change the .bin file accordingly.
