Hi everyone!
I'm kinda new to hacking, but I have a rather ambitious project that I'm working on. I need help with something, though. I have been editing Attacks in Diamond to great effect, since there is a tool for that, but when I opened SoulSilver to see if I could import my work to that game, I found that the file structure is vastly different!
I tried replacing "waza_tbl.narc" but it didn't seem to work, since the changes I made (making Gunk Shot 130 base power, just for instance) weren't showing up on the status screen like in Diamond. I used Pokesav to give my Totodile some of the attacks that I had edited, just to see if the effects I had hacked were implemented, but it seems like that's not the case. I had hacked Dream Eater to have the same effect as Absorb, Mega Drain, etc, for instance, but it still always fails against non-sleepping foes. This leads me to believe that there is a seperate file that determines the battle effect of moves.
Looking through the SoulSilver file system, I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a direct counterpart... in Diamond, there's a whole "waza effect" folder, etc... in HGSS, the only relevant files i see (just by filename) are "kowaza.narc" under data, and "waza_oshie.bin" under wazaoshie/fielddata.
Does anyone have any idea if the Attack system was totally rebuilt for HGSS or if DPPt Attack data is compatible, but simply under a different filename? Any tips or pointers n this area would be immensely appreciated!
Thanks!
