Tool: The Official DayAndNight-Thread

[cooley]

Off-topic: By what I've heard, you can by making a script. Or just edit the normal one.

On-Topic: I am looking for any updates here, this will help me... Or else I'll have to make 2 new Tilesets for my evil Universe.

If it were that easy, I wouldn't be asking this question..:P

As for your second Question, what do you mean by it?

 

[Heart's Soul]

I didn't ask a question... Er... Why? I will just look at every post here until a version forFRLG comes out, because there are more FR hackers than R/E.

Off-Topic: is there a way to activate Ruby's national dex?

You'll have to decrypt the game shark code to giving the national dex to get where the gameshark code writes to. Then use writebytetooffset to write the value given in the cheat to the pointer - which is also given by the cheat once its decrypted.

There are 3 gameshark codes to it. Hope that helps. BTW, are you planing to hack Ruby? ;)

@MX - all those stuff you're planning for us are cool. Can't wait ;)

 

[master morty]

Yes! I have waited for this moment for so long. After it's released to the public could you make a tutorial on how to use it?

 

[X-Buster]

Also, is just a different effect for the same condition, like:
if(time>7)
{
wild_poke1=hoot-hoot
}

instead of:

if(time>7)
{
pallete=blue+10
}

OF COURSE IT ISN'T THAT SIMPLE. Just to undestand.

whe? is this tool made from java?
it would be a great help if someone teach me how to hexedit using java..
btw, im a java programmer..

Your right i'm just going to shut up now

 

[jirachiwishmaker]

Thanks a lot! I need it from a long time ago.

Annotation: No, I don't use java for this tool. The hack itself is based on pure assemblers (feel 100% efficiency, which none of the compilers can offer) and the tool itself is written in good old VB6. ^^

In addition to that: Sorry for the delay, I have to work for the university some hours per day...

its okay. if not for you, we wouldn't even have the possibility for this option! i'm sure we can wait longer.

 

[jj_olli]

We can wait as long as the tool will give us what we wanted for so long, but please answer my question :(
Will there be morning, too?

 

[Mastermind_X]

Awesom MM_X, I have to day that I really like this.
But what's about Morning Time, are you going to implement morning too?

Werd ich machen, sobald ich Zeit dazu hab. Die erste Version wird nur Tag und Nacht haben. =P

Translation:
The first version will only have "day" and "night" - so nothing about "morning", "afternoon" and so on...
In order to be honest: One of the older D/N-S versions "faded" from day to night (screen transition) and vice-versa. But there were some compatibility problems so I decided to remove that again.
We'll see...

I played light platinum and you can get the nd in it and it's a hack of ruby, and if it was that easy (at least to experienced hackers) don't you think more people would have done that, and someone would have made a tut on how to.
Or you could dig through fr/lg's code to figure out what flag is set to r/s to activate it when you trade between them.

Anyway, for a fr/lg version of this d/n tool, you could make it based off certain flags, or how many pokemon are in your pokedex. Or whenever
you beat the pokemon league again. That way, unlike my other ideas, you can change the time even after you set all the d/n flags/ complete your dex although you will have to wait until late in the game to use it, and if you want to change the time, you will have to train until you're strong enough to beat the stronger pkmn league, after the first time. Or you could make a bed in certain maps that allow you to change the time, but then you will have to release the flags that you used to change the time so we can use it.

Come on pal... The image says it only Day & Night... I suppose MX will put the others in the next release or what ever he's planned.

Actually there's a tutorial on it. It's just not here. You need to look, and not expect it to be dropped into your lap. Here's even a hint, MM_X. Very subtle, I know.

Not really a tutorial, but just the code. The post I made before basically contains how you do it... Man, loading should read this really. He discovered it :)

*rolleyes* C'mon guys. Let me solve the national dex problem so that we can return to the topic... =\

The offsets to the left are the ones of EMER BPED. But the adresses loaded in the function remain the same for all games.
Summary:
The Pointer at 03005D90 in the RAM is 02024AB4. 02024AB4 + 0x1A = 02024ACE. Attention: Due to the DMA the calculated adress will always be something different. The way shown above is the only legitimate way to calculate it.
So => The byte at 02024ACE has to be 0xDA (change it in the memviewer if you want to test it)

The other two conditions are quite obvious:
- var 0x4046 has to be 0x0302
- flag 0x896 has to be SET

So - it's easy at all. b2topic, pls -.-"

 

[Mastermind_X]

~Edited~

As I said - the first offset has to be DMA secure. That means that it changes several times per minute. So you can't just write constantly to 2024ACE. Use the way I described. (I don't know if there is a way to "load a pointer" via pokescript - as far as I remember it isn't)

 

[Darthatron]

No. It won't work with your code.

There is none as far as I know. I'll read better next time, sorry. :( *deletes post*

 

[Mastermind_X]

lol. found something... *lol*

special 0x1F3 sets the nationaldex in emerald. XD

 

[Pachel22]

So a firered and leaf green version is still coming *phew*.
Anyway good job on finding the flag XD.
Although the data was already for long time avaible.
XSE his std file open it with notepad it shows all most needed flags xd.
