Hi all, this thread will be to discuss the development of PPRE.
PPRE is currently being developed by Alpha and SCV.
Special Thanks: Special thanks go to loadingNOW, pichu2001.loadingNOW's thepoketext system is an integral part of PPRE and provided me the address to the game's script handler when I was getting started with studying scripts. pichu2001 has helped tremendously in trying to figure out script commands.
History:
PPRE started out as a program with a whole new concept. The first versions of PPRE were based on the code for Nitro Explorer 2, written by Treeki. This allowed for reading DPP roms using the NDS file system. One thing that I did not like was that I was using C# to code PPRE and had used C# to code PPTE (Project Pokemon's Trainer Editor). While C# is a great language. I wanted to try to support all of Linux, Mac and Windows.
Also an integral part of PPRE will be loadingNOW's thenewpoketext system. thenewpoketext is written in python. Rather than learning python to translate thenewpoketext, I decided I would learn python and use PyQt to code PPRE. New versions of PPRE will work like thenewpoketext in terms of reading the rom data. That is, it will use ndstool to unpack and rebuild the rom. For Linux usage depends on wine. I have not tested on Mac but it should work the same way.
Official Versions supported:
Diamond (USA)
Pearl (USA)
Platinum (USA)
However, many of the features will work for other versions and if something doesn't and there is enough demand I will add support for it.
Latest Release:
Windows:
PPRE beta 0.14 (includes loadingNOW's thenewpoketext with platinum support and xdelta patching tool.)
(go to: http://projectpokemon.org/forums/sho...&postcount=112 for more information.)
Mac/Linux:
PPRE beta 0.06 Need Python 2.6, Qt4 AND PyQt for python 2.6
thenewpoketext (updated with platinum support)
Planned Features:
Pokemon Editing:
Map Editing:
- Main Pokemon Data
- TMs/HMs able to learn
- Level Up Attacks
Trainer Editor:
- Script Editor
- Event Editor
- Text Editor
- Encounter Editor
- Trainer Editor for the specific map
- General Trainer Editor
This list is very imcomplete, but the general goal is to be able to edit as much as possible.
I added some pictures of some of what I currently have.

Sweet! I think i seen a youtube video of this (beta)
You should make a tutorial for it because some of it is a bit confusing :?

Will there be a music editor?

Eventually, but its not a priority.Originally Posted by evandixon
If someone does the research necessary then I can add it based on that research. But if I will be doing the research, then don't expect it for quite a while.
how about the layout of the map to editable?
That would be hard to do because the D/P/Pt maps are 3 Dimensional
And all other map editors are 2 Dimensional
Therefore, it would be a leap from designing 2-D map editors to 3-D map editors.
Yes, it will be hard but its not impossible. The problem is I don't think mapping is a priority. I'd rather get scripting done first.
Yes it is and you are working on scripting With PPRE
So after that there is mapping and other stuff
I am also hoping to start learning C# or Python
Hey SCV,
just dropping in to say thanks for PPRE (and all the other good stuff you have provided).
Ive been wondering if there are any lists around for OverWorldID, Movement etc. ? I've collected some Warp-IDs already but would stop here if it already has been done. Here goes (this is for Platinum US):
Also, please add the note in the next versions that the eventlocations and scriptlocations list are for D/P, but not (well, mostly) for Platinum. This tricked me into confusion at first.Code:Note: Set Target Warp ID to zero for best results. "-" means "Mystery Zone", an area with basically nothing there and mostly no way to activate the menu or to move (looking works, this is no crashing) A = - B = Jubilife TV Center first floor B8 = The room just before meeting Cynthia BA = Champion Hall (event will be immediately triggered) C = Jubilife TV Center second floor D7 = Mt. Coronet just before Spear Pillar D8 = Mt. coronet somewhere deeper inside F = Poketch Company F9 = Victory Road somewhere FB = Safari Park first area FD = Amity Square FE = Ravaged Path first room FF = Crashes 1 = Pkmn League (Pkmn center?) 1A = room didn't make it into final game? extended floor of some house, two people talking about WFC. Walking downstairs gets you stuck. 1A1 = Bottom Left House Twinleaf Town 1A2 = Sandgem Town 1A3 = PokeMart Sandgem Town 1A4 = PokeCenter Sandgem 1B = another hidden room above 1A?? "Youre managed to come up here?" says a lady there. How else? 1C = Wifi Entry room. 1C2 = Survival Area 1D = Trainer's school 1E = house in jubilife city 1F = Crash 2 = Crash 2B = "Mysterious" Harbor Inn in Canalave City 3 = Jubilife City 4 = Jubilife Center PokeMart 5 = Crash 6 = jubilife city pokemon center 7 = jubilife pokecenter upper floor 7D = Pastoria Great Marsh 7E = Pastoria Great Marsh second floor 8 = Poketch Center first floor 9 = poketch center second floor 9F = Sunyshore City small building with lots of people 10C = Turnback cave first room 10D = Turnback cave room with big thing in the middle 10E = Turnback Cave room with Giratina 10F = Turnback Cave... 11B = Regigigas Room in Snowpoint Temple (Need three regi-pokemon to battle) 11C = Weyward Cave first room 11D = Weyward Cave (some big room) 11E = Ruin Maniac Cave 11F = Trophy Garden 13D = Lake Acuity w/o Rival 13E = Lake Acuity w/ Rival 13F = Acuity Lake Cavern 15B = Route 205 16E = Route 211 16F = Route 212 19A = - 19B = Twinleaf Town 19C = Rivals First Floor 19D = Rivals Second Floor 19E = Heros First Floor 19F = Heros Second Floor 20A = Turnback cave room with little stone in middle 20B = turnback cave room... 22 = PokeMart Canalave 22E = Pokemon Contest Hall 22F = Outside of Battle Frontier 23 = Steel Gym 23B = Hidden Rotom Room! WARNING! Without the activated event, returning will get you stuck => have to edit warp there. 24 = PokeCenter in Canalave 27A = Jubilife City again 28 = third floor in library / Canalave 29/2A = Houses in Canalave City 41 = Eterna City 49 = galactic eterna building second floor 50 = Eterna / Cycling Road Checkpoint 85 = Fight Gym 102 = Oreburg Gate Cave first room 108 = stark mountain before showdown 109 = With Charon against Team galactic in stark mountain at the end 110 = Turnback Cave... 111 = Turnback Cave... 112/114/115/FC = Nowhere / says Pkmn League (Pkmn Center music) 116 = Snowpoint Temple first room 120 = Iron Island 130 = black screen (music crashes) / weird crash 137 = Lake Verity (before team galactic) 138 = Lake Verity (after team galactic) 139 = Verity Cavern 140/141 = Newmoon Island (encounter area; but event needs to be triggered for it to appear) 142 = Battle Park 143 = Battle Park (inside) 144/145 = darkness/mystery zone with bicycle possibility 148 = mystery zone, but moveable character. 150 = Valor Lakefront 170 = Pokemon Mansion (not trophy garden) 171/172 = Pokemon Mansion Rooms 173 = Route 212 193 = Route 227 212 = turnback cave... 230 = Battle Frontier 239 = Team Galactic somewhere (huge mass gathering)
For example, script number 978 (twinleaf town) is 1052 in Platinum. This is determinable by comparison.
(edit) One more thing: Trying to add individual scripts in Twinleaf Town crashes the applicationAnything you could do about this? Also, please let hex code there be copy-paste-able. It would save a lot of work.

This is actually pretty nice =D This would enable me to edit the game to make things more balanced.
If you want to help make a complete list of map values I can send you what Roland made so far. There are a few things missing but I have not had a chance to look at it.Hey SCV,

As for PPRE, it is beign re-written from scratch. It will no longer use a hex box for the scripts and there will be no need for event or scripts list since I will set it up to use the lists that are stored in the rom that determine the event and script file from the map value.
Umm, SCV, how goes with the Event and Scripting editing, also thanks for PPRE.

I started the script decompiler and progress is good. Maybe I will show some screenshots of what I have, so you can see what progress is. First I am working on displaying information. Then I will add the editing functions.
Ya, SCV, you know the Trainer editing for specific map, is that a low priority, or not. Becuz to me, that would be a BIG help.
That is already planned and will be available, when I release the next version.
