Tool: Pokémon Gen III Rom Hacking Suite

Just wanted to say thank you for making this! It looks like I got into ROM hacking at just the right time! (Also, this is getting shoved in the face of the next person to make fun of me for using python.)

Is there any way to edit which TMs are which using this tool? I'm using the MrDS rom base and most tools don't work with that.

My tool loads all TM names from the ROM, so if MrDollSteak made his ini load from the new ones he made, they should show up. Follow the instructions in the documentation.

Hehe thanks man.:) And hell yeah Python. Nothing wrong with it, seeing as I can use it to write programs that work on ANY platform. I've even learned how to make them for iOS. So yeah, it might be a little slower than C based languages, but nothing beats the speed of testing and flexibility. BTW, Dropbox is almost completely run on Python, just a tidbit for anyone who doesn't like Python.;)

Yeah, never got the whole "C/C++ or death!" vibe some developers have on any other language than C and C++. It's really annoying when they bash on languages like Java for being bloated and memory inefficient while they adore Ruby or Python for their elegance or .NET languages for Visual Studio (which really makes no sense since .NET is just as bloated and memory inefficient as Java). In any case, as long as a tool has good cross-platform support and isn't horribly buggy, it's fine by me.
 
Question!

Is anybody able to answer me why some Pokemon use only
Struggle after editing a game with this Suite?

Sorry for bad English.

Are you talking about the pokemon that you added to the game by expanding the pokedex?
if that is so then you have to add the moves too !

No, I'm talking about old Pokemon ( Ekans and Jigglypuff). For the new Pokes i'm always
putting their moves according to the movesets posted on Serebii.

Is locationnames a table of pointers or a table of text? It has to be the pointer table.
 
I was wondering if, the Pokédex also adds the Pokémon, that I've added to the game?

- Or maybe that'll be a feature?

I found by Bug. The Pointer must be 4 bytes later.^^ Thanks.

The Tool ist very good. But I think it's slow by scrolling to the next Pokémon.

Just remember how much data it loads each time you scroll:P It has to load all of the data for the Pokemon, including images. All of the tabs except the Habitat and Egg Move tabs are reloaded every time. I know I am definitely not the most efficient coder so that could also be an issue.:P

I've been getting this error, and I've been trying to fix it via the function for a long while now, but it doesn't want to work.

It's something to do with the habitat data, right? Any solution to this?
Click to expand...

It looks like your habitat table is pointing outside the rom, therefore it can't load a pointer making the string literal nothing. Possibly your table is pointing to free space (FFFFFFFF) which would point outside the rom.
 
I'm having trouble getting this to work with Jambo's 3-byte movepool hack. The .ini I'm using:

Spoiler:

It's definitely loading this particular entry, as if I change jambo51movehack to False it loads fine, and picks up the repointed ability name table. (This is also the only entry I've added to the ini- it's a fresh download) Setting that to True instead causes G3S to crash when I load the ROM:

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Gen III Rom Hacking Suite


It shoudn't be an issue with malformed movepools, as every movepool now points to the same place (xC70000), which contains the exceedingly simple 01 00 01 FF FF FF. (pound at level 1 and nothing else.) I also tried 01 00 01 00 00 FF, which is what Jambo's tutorial suggests (either works in-game), and that still causes a crash.
 
Can someone please teach me how to use this program? I've been trying to figure this out for hours. I downloaded it 3 times and I still can't find an exe file that takes me to the actual program. It's all just text documents and .ini files.
Thanks ahead of time to whoever helps me!

Erm... After you've extracted the file, double-click the [Red OW] icon?

Hey,

I keep getting this error after editing habitats, and attempting to save the tab:

[PokeCommunity.com] Pokémon Gen III Rom Hacking Suite


I also get this with some other tasks that involve repointing, such as expanding Pokemon and changing PokeDex entries. This only started happening after I downloaded the update, the previous version still does everything fine. I know it's not my rom, as it does this with clean roms as well.

Any idea on why this is happening? I just want my new Pokes to have proper dex entries. T_T
 
Can anyone tell me why are the evolutions shown wrong in this Suite?

Until today everything good and fine, but today I noticed the evolutions are shown
wrong in the Suite, for example :
Bulbasaur evolves at L32 into Venusaur.
Combusken evolves into Kirlia.
Pikachu evolves at L16 into Niddorino.

Every single Pokemon 's evos are shown wrong but in game they evolve like they should.
I'm also iserting Mega Evolutions into my hack and I set the Pokemon to Mega-evolve at
L50, for example Blaziken. I've put him to evolve at L50 but nothing happens ingame when I get him to this level.

Can anyone help me?

Sorry for bad English.

Here's my guess: The offset for your evolution table is off. Probably by like 40 bytes or so? Just open your rom up in a hex editor, go to the offset listed in the ini and find the correct starting position.
Also, the Blaziken thing. You using FR? Do you have a National Dex? If not, Pokemon outside the Kanto Dex won't evolve.

I'm not so good at hex editing and I don't know where to find the listed offset and the correct starting
position. And about Blaziken, I've patched my game to be able to evolve without National Dex.

Well, first get a hex editor, most recommended is HxD. Now, go to your ini. Go find your rom's offsets and go to 'evolution table' or something like that. Take that offset, open up your hex editor and do a Ctrl+G and paste it in and enter. Assuming you haven't edited Bulbasaur's evo data, the start should be: 40 00s, then 04 10 02 I believe. Something like that. If there's no 40 00s before the 041002, just start at the 041002.

Now the Blaziken thing, are you sure you have? Just double check with other pokemon outside the Kanto Dex. If they evo, then..I'm not too sure.
