Diamond/Pearl/Platinum hacking

[gabe_k]

have the tools everyones been talking about come out ye?

The tools your mom was talking about last night came out :O

 

[Michael Allison Is Not I]

loadingNOW made a text editor and a table.

sexy. really? linky in IM plz gabe.

 

[Raging_Lugia]

I imagine that it has to do with the colors that you're using because certain ones don't work because of the palette or something so they turn in to a different color. I don't know though because I don't do anything with sprite or palette editing. I'm probably not of much help.


What tools have everyone been talking about? The sound extracting/inserting utility, the PokeDSPic program, the text editing program PokeText, or ("can I have") a map editor and/or script editing program?

yes them ones are they out?

 

[Sanderino]

Can someone please tell me how to replace sprites in diamond and Pearl? I have Poketex already, I only need to know to to replace the original sprite in game with my costum sprite can someone Pleasy tell me or make a video tut?

A stupid desperate noobie

 

[gabe_k]

My solution would be don't use PokeTEX. Just open your ROM in a hex editor, do a text search for "hero", after a few results scroll down, and the rest should be pretty easy from there.

 

[Sanderino]

Well I'm not a hacker so.. I'd mean Recoulors.. Sorry :S
And I really readed the whole thread every post but do you know how to save it to your rom? [I havet he English [PokeTEX]

EDIT: I know how to save but If i save a sprite get removed how to gestore that? :O

:S sorry again

 

[gabe_k]

You can't really restore the sprite, just copy it from an unhacked rom and paste it in your hacked one.

 

[Sanderino]

thanks :D and ooh the laast question :: You know the in battle psrite of youre trainer? canyou recoulor it to with a program?
and how do u paste it? Not with rigcht mouse click cope, paste i think..

 

[gabe_k]

if you know the offset of the pallet you can edit it with a pallet editor/hex editor.

How can you find the offset? >.<

So, now that Platinum ROMs are on the internet, will you be messing around with those?

 

[gabe_k]

Soon as I get a hold of one I'm gonna start working on it :D

 

[D-Trogh]

So, now that Platinum ROMs are on the internet, will you be messing around with those?

Like I said in the PM, thanks for telling this =P
I totally forgot the release date..
Anyway, it's pretty funny to see how they just kept everything from D/P in the ROM and just added some pl_<name> NARCs :D

 

[gabe_k]

Lol, yeah, it's basically the same. Anyway, I made a starter editor for it. https://www.sendspace.com/file/15pffq Hopefully I'll have some more tools for it in a bit.

Platinum Hacking

Hey everybody! Since Platinum ROM is out, I looked at it. I found very interesting stuff...
First of all A LOT of useful sprites are editable with TLP/Tiled2002.
These things are really handy, because there are complete trainer back animations (even the old ones).
I'll give you some adresses:
56814620: Back sprites
57796136: Roark (all trainers are near them)
58331136: Team mate sprites (Cheryl, Riley, MARLEY!!!, etc)
58519708: Frontier Aces (First: I BET the american name will be Amelia, Second: DUELMASTERS FTW!, Third: I REALLY HOPE THEY DON'T CENSORE THIS, SOOOO SMEXY)
58614656: Cynthia sort of cinematic sprites.

Also, there are minisprites, totally editable with TLP/Tiled2002.
I think that MAYBE the text could be unencrypted.

If this is the case PLATINUM will become a new favorite among ROM hackers.
Post all your discoveries here!

Lol, yeah, it's basically the same.

Um, not really. Some info may be in the same general area, however.
Also, I have some notes on Platinum. Nothing technical, only Graphics. I'll share more tech notes later.


0000000-0000009 = ROM Name
0000010-0000011 = ROM License

362ED73-3634FD9 = Lucas In-Battle Back Sprite Frames/GFX
36370DB-363D365 = Dawn In-Battle Back Sprite Frames/GFX
363F491-36456F2 = Rival In-Battle Back Sprite Frames/GFX
3647717-364B4C6 =

Of course, I'm trying to get it working on my emulator again. :\

 

[Crosell]

If that Platinum rom works, i would like to try it to =P
I've been waiting for the Platinum version, Diamond and Pearl is kinda empty -,-

Eh, they're basically the same :/ Look at platinum and diamond compared in tahaxan

Mapping is (Obviously) the same, and scripting is the same too. The maps in platinum have way more textures, so... yay...

The platinum rom works, but it's like the same as DP.

 

[Crosell]

Platinum is a better version then d/p. -,-
And I want to play it, so I'm gonna search it now. =P
But it is Japanese for sure. =P
Anyway anything new about hacking D/P, Still no map changings huh ?
