Diamond/Pearl/Platinum hacking

might be old news to some of you but Rykin of gbatemp released a partial translation patch. Im trying it and it covers a lot of the system and some of the text. Apparently he just copy/pasted stuff from the english version of DP into platinum (LOL). He isnt motivated to try and translate everything so i think we might just get a little more such as bug fixes. I find it interesting that its possible. It might be a little easier to hack platinum if we know it uses the same encryption as DP.

I'm pretty sure that it's known that the text encryption is the same over DPP. Like how the text tables are the same over all r/s/e/fr/lg, and g/s/c had the same table.
Plus, there's someone who has started translating Platinum already.
 
Meh.

I honestly think it's pretty pointless to translate platinum :/ by the time you finish it all it'll be out in english, and I never really read text in pokemon games anyway.
 
I'm thinking of a way of changing the text in Pokémon Platinum with the hex editor, just by changing the Pokémon names in the Pokédex to the English names, but I know the Sinnoh Pokédex in Platinum is different from the Sinnoh Pokédex in Pokémon Diamond/Pearl. But there is the data for the National Pokédex so you can change the names of the Pokémon into the English names. And I know changing the names in the Pokédex can resault in the Pokémon names in English not Japanese. That's all I can know about it, but I know you can change the text with the hex editor.

I did the same using his tutorial, but it's not exactly accurate translations its basically just data splicing from D/P onto platinum..
 
Hi, i'm pichu2000
Excuse me for bad English, I'm Italian
I found some interesting things about map hacking
For Example, open Twinleaf Town Map (0x2800A44 or fieldata/land data.narc/land data 0)
A map is divided into five parts

The first (0x02800a44 to 0x02801250) changed the movement permissions
00 80= Blocked; 00 00= Free walking; 10 00= Surfing; 69 80= Doors opening

The second(0x02801250 to 0x028013d0) changed 3d models
We see the first model in this forms:
17(Model Number) 00 00 00 80 (Unknown Byte) FA(If you put Fb, you move the model on the right) FF (Unknown Byte) 00 00 01( If you put 04 , it go up) 00 00 00 FA(If you put FB go down) FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 10(Views model's widht) 00 00 00 10(Views model's height) 00 00 00 10(View model's lenght) 00 00

The third(0x028013d0 to 0x028018df) changed maps texture
I don't know yet how view texture's shapes, we can for now only swap texture)

The forth(0x028018df to 0x02801d80) I don't know the function

The fifth(0x02801d80 to 0x02809cfo) changed map's polygons, but for these we can only attained a very breaked map

The sixth(Start for each maps, with BDHC) I thinks changed height of map land, because if I try to change something the hero sinks into the map and I can see only the hat.

:O Amazing job! I'd been looking for movement permissions! Anyway, I'll try some of this, once again, great job!

Edit: I tried the movement permissions, the offset you gave is to a texture, you might wanna fix that.
Edit 2: Nvm, it's right, I was just being an idiot.
Edit 3: I played around with movement premissions a bit, I found that on routes grass (ecounters) is 00 02.

Yeah, I'm not so worried about translating Platinum so much as I wanted to make some of the basic things in English. I simply copy and pasted stuff from DP into Platinum. No beat feat.
I would like to fix some of the menus and items that weren't in DP, but I need to decrypt/encrypt text to be able to do that.

After a few days of searching, I found the poketext source, and complied it. I tried to modify the code to re-encrypt the data. I got the headers(text pointers) to encrypt/decrypt, but I can't get the text itself to covert.

If anyone has any advice, I'd like to know it.
 
Two years since DP release in Japan and is it the first time I heard that the map data is finally hacked?
 
then why no map editors programmed? :/
