    Trying to use thenewpoketext to get the files I need for pokedspic and I do everything a tutorial says and i get the tmp-"romname" folder but nothing appears in it. Can anyone help?

    Yes I do have the rom in the same directory as the new poketext. Could the fact that I have my computer set up to where I can see file extensions stop this from working?

    EDIT: okay made it so I cant see the file extensions, only affected some files, and it still doesn't work. Here's the directory setup:

    Are you typing in "Pokemon Diamond.nds"? You should be. If you just type "Pokemon Diamond" it won't work.

    Does anyone have any advice on how I would go about making a list on pokeTEX for the english (USA) rom of platinum? I need to basically apply all the same changes to a platinum rom as I did to a diamond rom (so advice on how to make pokeDSpic work on the USA platinum rom would be fantastic too).

    Thenewpoketext works perfectly on the USA platinum rom with no changes required :P that was a pleasant surprise.

    Yes, Thenewpokétext works perfectly with USA Platinum! That's awesome.

    Anyone know where graphics for the font is stored in-game, and if it's compressed? Thanks..

    Does someone knows the names of the .arc files of the hero trainer outside battle for the game Pokémon Platinum [USA] ?

    You don't need .narc to change overworld sprites, use PokeTEX, that is if there is a list out for pokemon platinum USA.

    If not I am willing to do the grunt work if someone could quickly tell me how to start finding the hex for each overworld (and so make a list file for PokeTEX).

    P.S. have you got pokeDSpic or similar working for platinum USA?

    Could you possibly give me a link to the platinum poke ds pic?

    I'm trying to find which narc contains the overworld sprites by extracting narcs from platinum (jap) and inserting them into platinum (eng) and seeing which one makes the character sprite glitch :P it might take a while (no idea of a better way to do it) I think it might actually be common knowledge which narc contains them though, as pokeTEX had to be made by someone :P

    nvm, got a platinum pokedspic now.

    Still can't find which narc it is :P grr.

    • If you're looking for theme in PokeDSPic you won't find anything, the OWs were stored as textures on extremely simple models as I recall.

    In that case do you have any idea how I could go about compiling a list of model locations for pokeTEX, as I said before I am willing to do all the grunt work if someone will just put a step by step on how to find one (I will then find all the others and upload a list ASAP).

    They are in /data/movemodel/movemodel.narc

    compare the offsets that tahaxan tihaxa gives for each file in that narc with the list of offsets for PokeTex for a particula pair of ROM and list (i.e., US DP ROM and US DP list, of Jp Pt ROM and Jp Pt list).

    I found that using nitroexplorer I could extract the narc containing the overworlds from my already edited japanese platinum rom (which I was experimenting with last week) re-insert it into the USA rom and all the overworlds came out perfectly, so untill I finish with this list you guys can just edit within a japanese rom and then X-fer across to your USA roms.

    Tried using PPTE but for some reason I repeatedly got an error when editing platinum files if the trainer I selected had more than one pokemon, any pokemon it did display were incorrect and most weren't displayed at all, I also got a nasty error meesage popping up telling me it had gone wrong, it says

    It might be a different format used in platinum. Or it might be that one format is used for US games and another for Japanese. Right now PPTE is set up to work for Jp Platinum. I'll take a look next week.

    You can use pokeTEX and the japaese ROM, then extract the mmodel.narc and reinsert the mmodel.narc into the USA platinum rom for now, this will allow you to edit overworlds.

    Use the platinum version of pokeDSpic to edit back/front sprites, it works perfectly with the USA rom.


    SCV, I get the same problem using the japanese rom trdata,narc and trpoke.narc, are they meant to be named pl_trdata.narc and pl_trpoke.narc?

    I tried it this morning and it reads everything fine from the US one.
