LOL! gabe, I think you LOVE Luke more :P
besides I like the work here. Like the newly mapped route 201 :)
keep it up man
 
This is great work, and it makes me feel sad that I can't make any tools, at the moment but I would try and help with the final bits of research through the hex editing, if you want. Just what hex editor are you all using?

You don't need to sorry for not being able to program... We don't really need prgogramers that much curently, then most inportent part is that we get reseached some stuff... I'm using Hex Workshop, because I like the seach fucntion in it...

Now I gotta ask about some stuff... Is the Italian/Spanish roms intirely different made? I been seaching for the traniers in both, and I did not find a singel number that had any thing to do with it... I have not been looking in a german or france rom yet...

In my eyes it would be way more easy if anybody just would use english roms...
 
Holy moley route 201 is 2 maps. So thats why it lags in the middle for me. Nah kiddin couldnt even tell. But hey that said it means route maps might after all be the same size as route maps in the advanced gen. But here no tiles just really cool blocky polygons and textures!

No need to be sorry, we've got plenty of programmers. When I discovered mapping I was using 010 editor, then my trial ran out, so I used Hex Workshop for a bit, now I use HxD, and I would highly recommend that. And if you'd like to help with the research then please add me on msn if you have it.

Wow, I thought Horus made some tools that worked on both English and Spanish. I might check the narcs for a Spanish one later, then I could tell you.

Well I have no real idea about route size, but I see no real reason for them to divide it like they did. It could be that there is a maximum size for maps, which would be great.

Αlso gabe_k I know that the whole roms was ripped apart and every stream of data was uncovered and decoded but what about maps. Think nintendo has very secret deep inside the game johto maps?
 
Um, it's been a while so I want to know about the GUI PokéText. How's it doing?
 
Poketext Console is working (reading an writing xml assembling roms etc) and currently in private beta.
(there is an issue with out of date ndstool and working directory != executable dir which needs to be resolved)
The xml format looks like this
Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Poketext version="1.0">
<file id="341">
<text id="0">
	Hello there!\nIt's nice to see Poketext in Action!\rWelcome to the world of DP hacking!\r
</text>
<text id="1">
	My name is loadingNOW.\rHowever, everyone just calls me\nthe Hack Master ;).\rBefore I go any further, is this\nyour first hack?\rIf you need advice, I'm certainly\ncapable of giving it.\r
</text>
<text id="7">
	Do you understand the xml format\nso far?\v0200\x0001\x0000
</text>

<text id="37">

<text id="24">
	Tell me, who made this tool?\r
</text>
<text id="28">
	Who should I greet?\r
</text>
</file>
</Poketext>
That file replaces a few lines in the intro (US Version) file id 341 if a line id or file is not given (or disabled with a change="false") it will remain the same.

if that's to complicated...
GUI is *still* not finished but looks like this currently
[PokeCommunity.com] Diamond/Pearl/Platinum hacking

but that will undergo some changes

...We've decoded everything? Why'd nobody tell me <_<... Anyway, there is nothing so far to suggest Gold and Silver remakes, except the "Arived From Johto".

Looks good, I guess I won't be attempting a text editor.

Hm... so we just, like, don't do anything to that chars?
 
Whoa, this thread have got deserted!! :O

So, any news on the GUI PokéText?
 
I thought it was impossible to hack ds roms. A-text, A-map,etc. only work for vba roms. What hacking tools could hack a ds game and wouldn't you need some kind of emulator for ds games in order to play it?

You are truly freaking retarded. The old tools don't work, what do you do? MAKE NEW ONES. Or better yet, just use a hex editor, I can hack diamond and pearl almost fully in just a hex editor, maybe other people should try it.
 
I really want to know how to hack but knowone wants to tell me how.I want to make my own Rom hack.Please someone help me.And I love pokemon DP
