[Other] Change number of moves in INI

[Cataclyptic]

For some very strange reason, while altering pokemon for my hack I came across this:

. It says it's trying to load move # 410 or something, but there are only 354 moves. So I tried to alter the .ini file

changing the moves to to 354 using both hex and normal numbers, and it still doesn't work. Is there something I';m doing wrong?

One more thing: for some reason this problem ONLY happens with Cubone, and it shows up on every pokemon editing program I have. Please help, Cubone has no moves at this rate, and I'm worried the entire hack may be affected.

Problem

Open your rom in Kurapika's Pokemon Editor or Lost Heart's Hopeless Pokemon Editor and see if moves load correctly. If not, try to change moves manually in a hex editor. There's a possibility that somehow the pointer to Cubone's move data has been altered and now points to wrong offset. Or it's just G3HS.

Like I said, every poke editor I've tried shows pretty much the same message, including Kurapikas. I'm beginning to think that Cubones data was pointed to the wrong offset, do you know any way to fix this?

Maybe. In the G3HS's ini find 'learnedmoves' offset. Copy it. Take Cubone's offset number, multiply by four and add the learndmoves offset. This is a pointer to Cubone's moveset. Open a hex editor and goto that offset. Change it to point to another's pokemon moveset and then repoint it and edit in G3HS or some other editor(make sure you keep the old data intact).

Aha! It took a while because I suck at hex editing, but your method worked! Thank you so much!!
