[Other] Pokemon Gen IV Move Editing

[baleisback]

Can u guys tell me how can i change moves in Pokemon Platinum?
For example i want to change Cut from normal to grass 60pow 100acc instead
how can i do that? I googled it, cant find anything ; (

You need to edit this file on Platinum:

/poketool/waza/pl_waza_tbl.narc

You can find more specific information here but I warn you that you'll most likely be editing the move by hand in a hex editor. Cut has an index of 15 (see here) so you'll want to edit the 16th file within the .narc as it will also include a blank move.

Hex editing is something you're going to have to learn to do eventually if you want to hack gen 4; the tools available just aren't reliable enough to be used on their own. That said, I've got a Nightmare module you can use to edit moves easily and without breaking anything; it's attached to this post. Just run Nightmare, open the appropriate narc (using the "open Rom" tab"), open the included Attack Data Module, and edit whatever you want.

question what narc is it?

question what narc is it?

In HGSS it's a/0/1/0 EDIT: a/0/1/1, Platinum's equivalent is mentioned a few posts up. If you're editing Diamond or Pearl for some reason it'll be the same as Platinum, but without the "pl_" part in the filename.

I don't think there's a complete list around, but this tool has most of them listed: https://hackromtools.altervista.org/dpp-attack-editor/. That particular effect can't be done just by changing move effect data unfortunately (I've tried it myself in XY, it didn't work); it'd require modifying the battle engine itself.

I was thinking it might be possible because of freeze dry but thanks a lot for the list, I am trying to make a Digimon hack for personal use with some friends

What is the offset for doom desire?

What is the offset for doom desire?

That depends; which game are you editing, and offset relative to what? The start of the ROM or the start of the NARC?

Hey, sorry there's a typo in my post further up, the attack data narc for HGSS is a/0/1/1, not a/0/1/0. Give it a try with that narc instead and it should work.

Hi! I know this thread has been dead for a long while now, but just in case there's any life here:

I'm looking to add new moves to Platinum.
I understand how to edit already existing moves - and that's fine and dandy.
But I'd rather add entirely new ones.
Is this at all possible, or do I just have to sacrifice a few moves to make room?

Any of you guys manage to get this to work? For some reason when I try to open my Roms with it nothing happens
