010C script command (TryAddPKMToParty) works like so:
arg1: (var) - Returned value Y/N if Pokemon was added or not
arg2: (int) - Species to try adding
arg3: (meh) - secondary bitflags (unknown?)
arg4: (int) - Level to try adding

The first 5 010C commands issued work because you have 5 empty slots, and the rest "don't work" because the command can't add any more to your party. If you do some logic operations on var_10 after each TryAdd you can detect if each command worked or not. Generally, it's best to only add one at a time, and proceed from there.

For Platinum, it's likely not a "Add PKM to Party" command; instead it's probably opening the case and some hard-coded function.

You're not helping by saying this. Plus something this intricate takes time, so either don't say anything at all or support.
 
when i try to load a game (so far heart gold and pokemon white) i get an error that says it cant find a banner.bin file. im on windows XP
 
Hi Spiky, this tool is awesome and I've tried to use it for a project I've got in mind.

However, something strange occurs. I edited Header 107's (Mt.Moon Main Floor) Texture 1 field replacing it's value with the one of Cerulean Cave, since I wanted Mt.Moon to use Cerulean Cave's tileset. I made sure I pressed enter when writing the value and saved the header.

But when I test in-game, the map has still got it's original tileset, even though SDSME shows the map's header with the new value /:

It's not that, you can't edit the tileset like that. Your gonna have to change textures internally, by using MKDS Editor/Modifier Latest. Or you can extract the tileset file and change the texture names using hex. I wish there was an easier way doing this, but using MKDS is the easiest.
 
The script command "008B" may be named "SetGivedPokemonMove". For example:

Code: 
GiveStoredPokemon 0x[SIZE=1]PokemonNumber[/SIZE] 0x[SIZE=1]??[/SIZE] 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x800C
008B 0x8005 0x0 0x[SIZE=1]FirstMoveNumber[/SIZE]
008B 0x8005 0x1 0x[SIZE=1]SecondMoveNumber[/SIZE] (Optional)
008B 0x8005 0x2 0x[SIZE=1]ThirdMoveNumber[/SIZE] (Optional)
008B 0x8005 0x3 0x[SIZE=1]FourthMoveNumber[/SIZE] (Optional)

This script is used, for example, in HGSS, when you receive the Dratini with Extreme Speed.

Yes, but this would make every map using that tileset file have the new textures, while I want only Mt.Moon and Cerulean Cave to display them. Is that possible?

I know how to add a new texture line to the tileset files, the only problem is that you have to find time hex editing the maps obj files that have those textures. Edit the map.obj with hex editor and find texture name. You can change the name of the textures you see to the tileset's texture. It will only affect the map.obj you selected. If I can make a tut on how to add a new texture to the tileset file, you can use those new texture names on maps you only want textures to appear in.
(remember map.obj textures must have the same names as the tilesets in order to show.)

Sorry I made this very fast, and I'm not an active user because I'm a full time student, and part time worker. If you need help or more tips, just pm me or other guys who does nds rom hacking around here.

I'm also making a program that can edit the textures and its name using something like paint. By attaching an obj, you can see the textures it has. I'm not sure what else is needed, but I will have a release plan for it.
(It means that you can select an obj map file, and tileset file that goes with the map. Then edit them or add new texture without the use of hex editing.)

Because of this program I haven't been on hacking other areas of the NDS Rom, since I plan to solo this project out. I'm still learning the use of how to program with C+ and other stuff. But I'm getting there.

Goodluck RomHackers!

Hi,Spiky.:)
I am looking forward to version 1.9.0.
Your tool helps me a lot to edit maps.
So please don't stop developing SDSME.:(
This is a example.

It's just like any program, if it isn't open source... no one can continue where the person left off at when the person no longer has interest in continuing the project or they have had some condition in where they can't continue. AdvanceMap is a good example of how a closed source project has been abandoned.

But of course, I highly doubt this project would get abandoned until quite a few years have passed. ^^'
