Gen 6 style Exp. Share using the CFRU

[1RWT16KU1D]

This tutorial will be a short one (ngl)

Hello! This is Dark Gyarados speaking/typing and welcome to my tutorial of setting up the Gen 6 style Exp. Share system using the CFRU!
This is also my first post, so I hope it goes well. :D


Step: 1- Creating the script

The first step is creating the script for your Gen 6 style Exp. Share. A sample is given below if you want reference.

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
checkflag 0x906
if 0x0 goto @turnon
goto @turnoff

#org @turnon
setflag 0x906
sound 0x2
msgbox @display1 0x4
closeonkeypress
release
end

#org @turnoff
clearflag 0x906
sound 0x3
msgbox @display2 0x4
closeonkeypress
release
end

#org @display1
= [red_fr]Exp. Share [black_fr]has been turned on.\pAll members of your team will receive\nExp. Points.

#org @display2
= [red_fr]Exp. Share [black_fr]has been turned off.

You can add your own dialogues if you want and customize the sounds too.


Step: 2- Some hex editing

A very useful tutorial of Darthatron's is given in the link below:
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/281573

This tutorial (The second one) allows us to run a custom script from the 'Use' or 'Register' command in the game. How useful is that? (Very)

Now, what you need to do is copy the hex code given there and paste it in notepad or somehere.

I've written it below for reference:

10 B5 04 1C 78 46 13 30 0C 49 08 60 20 1C 0C 49
00 F0 10 F8 10 BC 01 BC 00 47 10 B5 04 1C 0A 48
05 49 00 F0 07 F8 20 1C 06 49 00 F0 03 F8 10 BC
01 BC 00 47 08 47 C0 46 E5 9A 06 08 98 99 03 02
3D 10 0A 08 09 75 07 08 00 00 00 00

Now, compile the script you wrote and copy down the offset. Then turn that into a pointer. Example: 0x800138 becomes 38 01 80 08. Just the numbers reversed, while adding 08 at the end.

Replace the last four bytes in the code above with the pointer to your script.
For example:
10 B5 04 1C 78 46 13 30 0C 49 08 60 20 1C 0C 49
00 F0 10 F8 10 BC 01 BC 00 47 10 B5 04 1C 0A 48
05 49 00 F0 07 F8 20 1C 06 49 00 F0 03 F8 10 BC
01 BC 00 47 08 47 C0 46 E5 9A 06 08 98 99 03 02
3D 10 0A 08 09 75 07 08 38 01 80 08

Find 76 bytes of free space in Free Space Finder and copy down that offset (Yet again).


Go to that offset in a hex editor (I use HMA :D) and paste the entire code there.


You're done with the second step!

Step: 3- Editing the item

You don't expect the Exp. Share to work without making any changes in the item, do you? Till now, we were only making the script to be called by the item. We are finally making changes to the original item now.

1. Change the pocket of the item from 'Items' to 'Key Items' and the type to 'Use of Select'.


2. Now, copy the offset where you pasted the code and add one to it. For example, if you pasted the code in 0x26D6F0, you have to change it to 0x26D6F1.

3. In the 'Field Script' section of the item, write the offset with one added to it.


And... you're done! Try giving yourself the item to see how it works in-game!


P.S: You can change the description of the item if you want to and change the price to 0.

Nice, but the attachments seem to be broken

dang I seriously thought setting up your config file was enough to do this, its so annoying that most things in cfru don't work how you expect them to.

It's a great tool, but not a lot was done as far as explaining what it actually does. Or how things work, even in the doc.

 

[1RWT16KU1D]

Can't blame Skeli though. He has put his entire effort creating this incredible upgrade and I appreciate it.

 

[Mason Shu]

Works for me!
Thank you so much for this i was struggling to find a way to make it work!

 

[1RWT16KU1D]

Np, mate!

 

[PerseusKyogre]

Thank you so much! Gen 6+ EXP share worked for me on the second attempt. I was scouring the net for how to implement this feature and this sure helped me a lot.

Hi Dark Gyarados, thanks for the tutorial. Do you know of a Item Editor that will work with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen+?
I tried LSA Complete Item Editor, but I guess the tables have been repointed.

[Mason Shu]

[Chawa]

Is there any video tutorial to this, i'm still too dumb to figure it out

 

[Bad_Eggy]

men, i follow your steps and when used the exp share resets the game, i dont know exactly where is the mistake, maybe adding 1?

 

[lancehuang]

[lancehuang]

The script is not working

 

[Luckyy]

[Luckyy]

Hi,

Where to paste the script?

in xse then compile it

 

[lancehuang]

it worked, thank you so much

I can make the exp share system turn on and off as shown in tutoral but during battle it doesn't share and battle pokemon received full exp

Are you sure you're using CFRU? If yes then did you change the flag in the script? I can't think of any possible reason for it not working in CFRU if the flag is set

 

[Eepyboy]

Hello. I don't know how to do this I there a way you could make a video on this?
