Mass Compatibility Editor - a tool for FireRed and Emerald
This tool lets you edit the compatibility of TMs, HMs and Move Tutor moves en masse. Instead of taking five years manually checking and unchecking boxes, you can now do whole swaths of Pokémon at once in just a few clicks!

Yeahhh, TM editing is annoying. Looks nice, but two questions.
1) Will you be adding move tutor support in the future?
1) Will you be adding move tutor support in the future?
It supports ROMs with repointed tmhmcompatibilitytables, but still assumes each entry in the table is 8 bytes long.
2) Do you have plans to allow expanded TM/Move Tutor lists later on? :D

Hmm. I forgot about Move Tutors but that's a good idea, if I can work out how it works I'd be up to try and add it.1) Will you be adding move tutor support in the future? 2) Do you have plans to allow expanded TM/Move Tutor lists later on? :D
As for expanded TM lists, I think that would depend on how the actual expansion is done. The way it is now, it's very convenient because the 8 bytes translate into a 64bit integer which I can just use to manipulate the bitfield, but if it were any larger (well, technically it's a 58bit bitfield but same difference) it would definitely be trickier to use. I'm not aware of any expanded TM systems, though, so if one is out there I'd appreciate a link so I can get to grips with how it's structured.

I thought there was one, but I can't find at the moment. But, for example, if there were 128 TMs = 16 bytes, something like As for expanded TM lists, I think that would depend on how the actual expansion is done.

It's nice someone actually created something like this. Actually I managed to mass edit tm and move tutor with hex editor, notepad, MS. Excel and stuff like that. The bytes in the compatibility table translate to something else. Each Pokemon got 8 bytes iirc. Each bytes have 8 slots. Like in bulbasaur, it started with 20. It means it only learn 6th slot, which means Toxic, and so on

Update!
I've fixed support for BPEE, added Move Tutor compatibility editing, and made the tool display the name of the move currently being edited. There have also been minor bugfixes and refactoring to the source code, which is also more fully commented.

Just released v1.1.1, which fixes a few issues there were with file loading, and has some more general improvements of the code.
I also realised I hadn't put the source code on github, which has now changed. You can find the link on the first post now, and the source is no longer included in the download for those who don't want it.

This issue happens even with clean roms when I try to load a .txt file and when I try to use the mass-remove feature. Here is the text file I'm trying to load:

Update!
I've made the tool far more intuitive to use, having a check list for every species in your ROM which you can simply scroll through and check/uncheck at will. There's also now a Save changes! button, so nothing will be written to your ROM until you click that now. You also have the option to mass-check and mass-uncheck within a certain range using the respective buttons. Changing between moves and editor modes WILL forget the changes you made, so make sure to save often!
This version is untested on Emerald but theoretically should work fine. Please make backups before using it especially on Emerald and let me know if there are any issues.

Hello. This tool is indeed helpful but I have two questions:
1. This was raised before and I don't know if it has been implemented in the tool, does this support now expanded TM and Move Tutor?
2. Does this tool support expanded pokemon also?

2. Yes.
What language is this written in, and how do I learn it? I want to edit this tool to work with expanded TMs, move tutors, and moves.

Hey, just to let you know, this is exactly tool I was looking for!
There is one little thing I'd like to ask, though.... Is it possible to check all TMs in one click?
Oh wait, I just noted that TM and HMs are working fine, but move tutors are not working...(Im using a cleam emerald rom base)
