Tool: Spiky's DS Map Editor (NOW OPEN-SOURCE)

I noticed some mistakes that happen with HGSS (but not DPPt) when trying to change the Wild Pokémon:
_Saving on any given Wild map will swap the third and fourth rows' levels for the Pokémon you get by Walking;
_Surfing rate is not read at all;
_In place of the Surfing rate SMSDE reads instead the max level for the 1% row while surfing;
_Saving on any given Wild map will save that value on both the Surfing rate and the 1% Surfing row max level bytes.


Here are the lines you want to check in Form9 Wild Editor.cs:
Code: 
line 1014 should be numericUpDown22.Value = readWild.ReadByte()
line 1437 should be writeWild.Write((byte)numericUpDown68.Value)
line 1438 should be writeWild.Write((byte)numericUpDown67.Value)
line 1014 should be writeWild.Write((byte)numericUpDown22.Value)
 
You, sir, are a god, but unfortunately I've got a problem.
See, I use blender, and I imported a map I was going to edit (from HGSS) When the map showed up in blender, everything was textureless... That wouldn't be a problem, except for the paths and flowers on the ground... I really don't want to have to get used to a different modeling program, please help. Thanks.
 
nevermind, i had textures off

forgive me for being stupid XD
 
I am having some issues using this tool with SoulSilver. For some reason it is showing that New Bark Town uses Texture 15, but that is not correct. The trees that are part of Texture 15 aren't the correct ones.

I'm fairly new to this modding community and I am interested in using SDME but I keep getting an error once I try loading a rom. I have downloaded SoulSilver, HeartGold, Diamond, and Platinum. I have downloaded the roms from multiple websites so I don't think they are corrupt. Am I supposed to convert the file or anything like that? Any Help is appreciated.

Alrighty, first of all, download and install the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0, then make sure SDSME is at the root of the C:\ directory. Secondly, run the program as Administrator (you can also make it permanent by right clicking SDSME, click properties, click compatibility tab and select "Always run as Administrator" box, then click OK).

That should solve most of the problems that you currently have. I hope it helps! ^^
 
Thank you, that really helped. Any advice on where to find a good tutorial?

If you need a good tutorial on how to use SDSME, I did make a tutorial on how to use the movement permissions as well as exporting and importing models, as well as editing them. I hope my tutorial helps ^^
 
Hi guys, the Download link is down. Is it just for me or is it happenning with someone else?
 
can someone tell me how to look up a specific map?

I can make it go from the header to the wild pokes or events, but i can't figure out how to change the map from there.

it's frustrating, because i'm tired of looking through 600+ maps trying all 60+ tilesets to see if its the right map.
 
I've been working on fixing a few of the bugs in some of SDSME's editors recently and figured I'd share my updated source code.

So far I've done the following:
  • Fixed the DPPt wild editor; it now saves fishing encounters to the correct location and doesn't corrupt encounter data
  • Added ball capsule (all gen IV games) and ability (HGSS only) editors to the trainer editor. This data was being overwritten in earlier versions
  • Rearranged the trainer selection box; you can now search for a trainer by name instead of having to scroll through the entire list, as in pk3DS
  • Added auto-suggestion to all wild Pokemon and trainer editor combo boxes (e.g. typing "ea" in a move selection box will bring up Earthquake instead of Ember followed by Absorb)

I'm currently working on getting the script editor to actually save changes, though the code is hard to read so it's going to take some time. Once I've fixed all the bugs I plan to add a few more editors to SDSME, such as move, item and Pokemon editors.

There are no compiled versions right now, and some of the modified UIs are a bit messy, but everything I've modified should be safe to use.

I've also included all of these fixes except the last one due to the typo, though I'll get that sorted too at some point. If you still know which line that code was supposed to be on, and wouldn't mind sharing, I'd appreciate it.

I know this is a long shot, but if you're still around Spiky, I'd appreciate a chance to ask you a few questions about the source code.

Hey, how do I like, apply or whatever the updated source code you did?

You'd have to download the source code and compile it using Visual Studio, which is a free but kinda big download. Alternatively, if you don't mind waiting a while, I plan to have a compiled release with a fixed script editor uploaded sometime in the next two weeks once my exams are over.
 
Can you make a sort of "Music Associate" ?... Like Towns....

But we can associate music to specific trainer classes.... Like Youngster boy i want associate to Youngster Class the Twinleaf Town OST.... So if we add new trainer class... and i add new song to the SDAT File... we can associate new files or original files to specific class.

Yeah I can wait. I do have Visual Studio but by the time I plan to test this tool out you should have the compiled release up.

Just a quick update on this: I've released a compiled version for anyone who wants it, but haven't been able to get the script editor working yet. I was hoping that the function that saves changes to scripts was the only major problem with 1.9.0's editor, but it seems that other parts of it are broken as well. I haven't been able to identify which parts just yet, so it may be quite some time before I can get a fix up.

Ooh, I'll take the compiled release. Wasn't planning on editing scripts anyway.
 
Splendid.


This Rom-hack tool it's needed for my new ROM-HACK of Pokémon Sun Diamond.
I'm starting to make it, Right now.
