How to de-compile code into PBS Files

[Lord_Chespin]

Hey! I'm trying to make a mod for an existing Pokemon Essentials game, but the PBS files in it were compiled into code already. How do I revert the code into PBS files, or, if that's impossible, add new PBS files to the code? Sorry to be a bother, and thanks in advance for the help!

I would imagine you would have to edit the system scripts for it to properly input new PBS documents. If you want a decompiled version, start afresh with a new copy of essentials and copy the PBS data, audio, and graphics into the new one

Okay, thanks! How exactly do I edit the system scripts, though?

It depends on what you want to do. For intance say you wanted to define types, if you look in your script editor in RPGMXP,

There are the first few lines of the script PBTypes_Extra

[DIV]class PBTypes
@@TypeData=nil # internal

def PBTypes.loadTypeData # internal
if !@@TypeData
@@TypeData=load_data("Data/types.dat")
@@TypeData[0].freeze
@@TypeData[1].freeze
@@TypeData[2].freeze
@@TypeData.freeze
end
return @@TypeData
end[/DIV]

The PBS files are loaded onto corresponding .dat files when complied which the scripts can load.

From what i understand you are asking how to recompile someone elses game. I doubt anyone would tell you how to do that. if you want the source code then you'll need to ask the author

Yeah, decompiling someone else's game is stealing. We're not going to tell you how to steal better. Get the files from the author, or make your own game. Thread closed.
