Tool: G3T - Gen 3 Tools

[charmanderbath]

Hi!

I'm looking for some support regarding an error when I try to load a rom:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application [...] startIndex cannot be larger than length of string."

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

how do i actually use anti exploud? i use custome offsets and click all the table and return found: 0. The only thing decapitalise is fly move. Nothing else change.

I added moves to my rom so that I have 559 in total and i can edit them all fine up until the 531st where the move editor stops responding and I have to close the program. If anyone could help me out then that would be appreciated.

In the sprites section for firered, it doesn't show all the sprites. Only front and back shiny. Can you also add a field where you can change the offset for the icon sprite? Anyway, great tool.

Hi, I used the tool to modify attacks and pokemon but when I launch the game (fire red), the character can only move to the right and down. Do you know if there is something I can do to fix that? Thanks.

Hello Kurapika or anyone reading this. I ran into a problem while editing a ROM. Essentially everything works fine except one thing, the Item Editor. As a tool it works perfectly fine but the main issue is some TM descriptions got corrupted and are now ranging from 1000 to 1800 characters long and even when i delete them they come back. This happened after i edited one Pokémon's typing. Weirdly enough it only happened to about 29 TMs but it still is a huge issue to me as it causes lag whenever switching into that one TM. The moves themselves have normal descriptions when learned by a Pokemon. I'd appreciate if any solution would be provided to me.

I've encountered an issue using this and the PGE tools. I'm not entirely sure why but it seems that all characters (numbers, letters, etc) in the moves list and the Pokemon names list have been corrupted somehow. Using a clean ROM file they're all rendered blank, or as a bunch of ???. Essentially makes me completely unable to use these tools.

Is your rom normal or is it expanded?

I heard that the EVs byte does not actually mean that Trainers give EVs to their Pokémon. Did the creator of the trainer editor mean "IVs" or "AI"?

 

[765Craven]

I figured out what the issue was, my locale was set to US but my non-unicode stuff was set to Japanese.

If you are looking for the Android version of G3T, check this thread instead.​

This is a project to make a collection of a few tools for Gen 3 Hackers.
So far, I made these tools:

• Moves Editor
  
  Spoiler:

  Similar to PGE's moves Editor, but it allows to easily give a move a description or an animation of another move, it supports new types such as Fairy, and gives you total freedom to alter ANY part of moves data.

  

  
• Anti-Exploud
  
  Spoiler:

  Made mainly for decapitalisation, such as decapitalising the word POKéMON, moves names, battle menu, ...etc.

  
• Trainers Editor
  
  Spoiler:

  A bit similar to Jambo51's, I made it because I thought Jambo51's Trainers Editor was buggy, but I just wasn't using the tool correctly, haha! My tool is still better looking imo. :$ Also, it is the only tool that views and edits Prize Money 100% flawlessly.

  

  
• Pokémon Editor
  
  Spoiler:

  Like PGE's PE and YAPE, but mine lacks some features such as TMs/HMs, moves tutors, and Pokédex data editor. That been said, this tool supports new types (f.e. if your hack features FAIRY type) as well as a better moves learnset editor and the posibility to modify the 2 unknown bytes.

  
• Items Editor
  
  Spoiler:

  The most complete Items editing tool.

  

I've the intention to make all sort of possible tools, especially ones that were not made previously or that are already made but lack some additional features. But I can't do all that instantly, whenever I have the time and the mood to add more stuff I will.

Also, you're advised to make a backup before opening a rom. I am not responsible if my tool(s) corrupt your rom. (I added a backup option as of Version 2.0, it is enabled by default)

Spoiler:

• Jambo51 and Gamer2020, for using offsets from their respective tools.
• Gamer2020, for helping me be able to show sprites in the tools.

I'm open to all suggestions.
Enjoy,

I found a bug. I added 2 moves into the game, but the animations for the moves i added overwritten the animation for 2 status effects.

No need to quote a whole main post, that cluthers the thread.

Either way, what exactly did you do? Since I'm not aware that Gen3Tools can expand the amount of moves in a ROM?

 

[KimmyOfTheNorth]

I love that its easy to use and i can put evs on a enemy pokemon easily!

I loaded Wobbuffet's moveset and it appeared to be corrupted; its learnset was incredibly out of wack, and despite my best efforts I can't change Wobbuffet's number of level-up moves or its final level-up move, which is stuck as unlocking Scratch at level 66. Is there something I need to do? The only other moveset I edited was that of Wynaut, and even then it was that way when I initially started using this tool. What do you suggest I do? Should I set the memory location to a large empty portion of the ROM? If it helps, I'm using BPRE (Fire Red English) 1.1, and before using this hacking tool I edited some maps with AdvanceMap, at which time I expanded the ROM.

 

[Fennekinluvr1116]

Never mind, turns out using PGE just corrupted everything. I suppose I'll have to start from the beginning with my hack then.

What probably happened was that PGE applied Jambo's move hack which g3t doesn't support

Turns out that wasn't the case, as when I unzip my backup ROM of vanilla Fire Red and open it in G3T immediately the corruption is still there. Perhaps I simply downloaded a corrupted ROM and need to get my ROM somewhere else.

The exact sequence of events that happens is as follows:

- I open the Pokémon editor, and it says that move tables, evolutions and... move tables again? Could not be found. I don't know where those would be found in the ROM so I can't do anything to change the values, so I simply click No, loading the editor as normal.
- I set the Pokémon to Wobbuffet, and it says evolution data could not be loaded. If the tool is set to save it asks if I want to turn off saving, in which case I click no. If I have saving it says '484' is not a valid value for 'index,' and in either case there is no error report.
- The moves displayed that Wobbuffet can learn are as follows, in this exact order:

Spoiler:

00 -
18 Morning Sun
87 Spit Up
52 Dragon Claw
81 Fury Swipes
30 Snatch
65 Constrict
66 Scratch

Changing these moves seems to have very negative effects.

Clearing a move:

Spoiler:

This will cause the program to display an error that the length cannot be shorter than that of a string, and most interaction with the window will cause the error to reappear. This is incredibly annoying as even if you do decide something you are forced to click the error window, and some actions will not be carried out. Clearing any move will clear the one before it upon restarting the tool, meaning that Wobbuffet is always forced to learn Scratch at level 66. Clicking the Clear All button does nothing.

Changing the moves learned:

Spoiler:

Depending on whether the move appears above or below the move in the list there will be an error saying the length cannot be shorter or longer than that of a string respectively. It is inconsistent what will happen, but most often it will either change the move of the slot selected or no change will occur after restarting, displaying the error again after most interactions.

Spoiler:

Changing the level a move is learned at:

Spoiler:

Virtually the same as changing the move itself, it will display an error saying the length cannot be longer or shorter than a string relative to how the level was changed. There are inconsistencies with what will happen, though most often it only changes the move above upon relaunching and causes the error to reappear when interacting with the window again in a wide variety of ways.

Repointing the learnset data:

Spoiler:

Clicking the "Find Free Space" button does not change any values, and typing in the text box directly simply does not work. You must copy and paste text into the text box to insert values yourself, and if you change the value at all the window will freeze. At this point the only things that can be done are clicking on the windows when they stop responding and waiting for the "G3T is not responding" window to appear and close the program with that popup, and using Task Manager to close the program much faster.

Changing the number of moves in the learnset:

Spoiler:

Reducing the number of moves cannot be used to circumvent the moves being forced, as trying to do so results in a "length cannot be shorter than string" error. Increasing the number of moves is not possible either; there is not enough free space at the offset, and since the offset cannot be changed there is no way to increase space. Forcing the tool to use additional data to make room for more moves causes the tool to freeze, and the only thing you can do is either let the "G3T is not responding" window appear to close the window or use the Task Manager to end the task instantly. Selecting to not save the moves and clicking the Apply button also results in a freeze.

Clicking "Quit" in any error window will close the Pokémon editor, resulting in an error for the main tool window.

Update: Even after deleting all related files and downloading a fresh new ROM from a different website the issue persists. G3T only has this issue with Fire Red and (possibly also) Leaf Green for some reason, as doing the same with Emerald results in no issues whatsoever; Wobbuffet's learnset loads properly, as does the evolution data for the ROM.
