[EM] Battle Engine Upgrade (On Halt, Will undergo reboot!)

[Trainer 781]

I know that Mega Evolution with a Mega Stone and Primal Reversion are in this. But what about Mega Evolution with a move, is that in it, and if so, how do you activate it?

It is already there. 0xFC as Evolution Type and the move index as 'Condition to Evolve'.

I'm using PGE. Are you talking about G3T? Because there's no "Condition to Evolve" option.

Yes, I'm talking about G3T.

Error... :/

Error... :/

Interesting. Could you tell me what operating system you use as well as translate the error?

 

[RagnaX]

Win 10.

"FileNotFoundError: [WinError2] the system cannot find the file specified"

Yes, I'm talking about G3T.

You should be able to add something like the following to PGE. (What's the value for Primal reversion?)

NumberOfEvolutionTypes=255
EvolutionName252=Wish Mega Evolution
Evolution252Param=attack
EvolutionName251=Mega Evolution
Evolution251Param=item
EvolutionName255=Revert Megas
Evolution255Param=evolvesbutnopar

Yeah G3T won't work. I'm assuming that you have to change the value next to Nothing Required. I can't do that since it won't edit values past 255. It will just snap back to a number between 0 and 255 if a higher value is needed. And I checked out PGE, it didn't work even with the edits above. Are you sure the feature works with expanded moves, because I want to Mega Evolve Rayquaza with the move Dragon Ascent, move index number 620.

EDIT: Yeah, Move Mega Evolution doesn't support a wide range of moves. I just tested it with a Rayquaza that Mega Evolve knowing Flamethrower and it worked...

You're right. It won't support a move with an index past 255. You can always use the alignment bytes for it, so it's not really a problem. Just give some time KDS to look into it.

Win 10.

"FileNotFoundError: [WinError2] the system cannot find the file specified"

I'm 96% sure it's because you don't have devkitARM installed or you have it in the 'wrong' place. The script requires you to have devkitPRO folder in the C drive. Try putting it there and see if it works.

It was a simple casting error. Fixed!

I am hoping towards a FireRed/LeafGreen version of this engine one day...

You'd sooner see me flying than working on (Tfu)Fire Red.
Having said that, there's a guy (NewDenverCity's his name IIRC) who's rewriting the engine for FR.

It assembled, but I got this message:

Now the bees are flying garbage data:

As funny as this looks, what is the cause of it?

Just a .... bug I guess.

Was some corruption in the particle file, KDS has fixed it now!

Does the current version have the updated rules for status conditions (electric-types can't be paralyzed, grass-types are immune to powders, etc)?

First of all, I like to congratulate the creators for making this project.

I started in gba hacking recently and thanks to your tools I decided to use emerald.

I'm trying to use together battle engine, pokedex expansion and objects expansion. The only way I have managed to do all three work together is to install them in the following order: pokedex exp, objects exp, and battle engine. Everything works correctly but if I use a pokemon beyond Chimecho, the game crashes in a pokemon battle. I think it's because the new pokemons haven't the move sets assigned. In the PGE I can assign movesets, repointing them, but they don't save in the game.

Then I tried to insert the moves editing the number of pokemon and the move sets in the files of the battle engine before inserting them but I think I dont know how to do it. Trying to insert 3 pokemon, test, I get the following error:

"./src\Learnsets.c:1522:44: warning: excess elements in array initializer
&REGICE_MOVESET[0], &REGISTEEL_MOVESET[0], &KYOGRE_MOVESET[0],

./src\Learnsets.c:1522:44: note: (near initialization for 'learnset_table')
./src\Learnsets.c:1523:2 : error: array index in initializer exceeds array bounds

I am a noob in the rom hacking. I hope you can help me. I'm sorry for my english, it isn't my native languaje.

If a Pokémon uses Explosion/Self-Destruct against a Pokémon with the ability Damp, the text that says that Damp prevented the explosive moves repeats forever...

This is the first time this has ever happened to me but when I did the Pokémon expansion I was able to edit in PGE thanks to Dizzy for helping me but when I install the battle engine I can't open up the Pokémon editor in PGE can anyone please help me out with this

Glad you decided to use them.

It's probably my fault, because my descriptions may be vague to some people. You see, in theory it doesn't matter which you apply first or last. In practice though, you need to change all the defines correctly, which I may have not explained properly. You're right that the crash is caused by the lack of movesets for new pokemon.

What you should do is:
- open the 'defines.h' file in the src folder and change the "ALL_POKES 412" to whatever your number of all pokemon is
- now this will make all the new pokemon have their moveset as "empty", but the game won't crash
- note that the movesets form pokemon from gen4-6 are actually done, the code for them just commented out, so it won't actually compile. You can add them to the "learnset_table[ALL_POKES]" manually in order the pokemon are crated.
- that little thing "[411 ... ALL_POKES - 1] = &EMPTYSLOT_MOVESET[0]" means assign the empty slot for all pokemon starting from 411 to the last pokemon. So say you added 10 more movesets to the table you should change it to "[421 ... ALL_POKES - 1] = &EMPTYSLOT_MOVESET[0].
If you however added all the movesets, this line naturally isn't needed.
- You should be able to modify them in PGE too, not sure why you couldn't.

Yeah, it apparently happens in double battles. I'll fix it in a minute.

According to KDS this was caused by empty moveslots. Try downloading the latest build and see if the problem persists.
