Wut's that?

[MickBooterhood]

Okay, I am waaaay lost. I wanted to do my first Rom Hack and with Pokémon White. But I need a .NARC file of the Rom. I can't transform my .NDS file into a .NARC, because none of my programs work, because they need a .dll file, because it doesn't recognize the Rom, because it needs to be executed with whatever... HELP!

Err. Okay, firstly

A .narc is a nitro archive inside the .nds. The BW .NDS isn't exactly one big .narc, it's made up of around 234 .narcs (and other files). Each containing separate data.

You're going to have to extract the ROM's filesystem, and then find the .narc containing the info you need. Most of the common stuff (eg, sprites, overworld, script data) is out there, but the vast majority of other narcs have only been partially noted and documented.. I have a sort-of complete list somewhere, I think. Not that it matters, since I presume you're not editing that stuff.

Anyway, use DSBuff or something to extract. It's fairly straightforward.

Good luck!

Can anyone please tell me what are the Unknown Values in the Trainer info (the one at the bottom left) that correspond with each type of battle (rotation, double, etc)?

Is it true that some trainer class are not compatible with some types of battle (lass with doubles for example)?

From what i know, for the unkown values in trainer info:

Triple:135

Rotation:7

Double:129

Oh and im not sure if its different for each individual trainer or just their trainer class but apparently hikers lose text when made into double battle (Tested with Hiker Lois),and as what i hear from previous posts so do the Lass trainer class.

somewhat related...

a/2/1/4 - [1000 files] (bstrpoke)

a/2/1/5 - [315 files] (bstrdata)

a/2/1/6 has the sprites for the subway, hence the large size for the small amount of files.

[Drayano]

Oh I was wondering where the Subway data was kept, interesting. Though I can't see myself actually editing it D:

[PlasmaDragon787]

KazoWar I like you Program so far and Its works Great, Very Easy to understand. And been reading some things here and i think the Unknown Value in the Trainer is the AI, With 0 being the easiest to 7 Being the Hardest. While in Double and Triple Battles uses 128 to 136 (I still checking on that one). I could be wrong tough.

[RPD490]

Okay I tried changing Alder's Party completely and had their Level's changed, but when I reinserted the data and poke narcs into the ROM, all the Pokemon were at level 1. What did I do? I changed them to around 96-99 to and tried again and they still appeared at level 1.

[tfchris]

Sorry to bump a dead thread but does anyone here know how to edit the World Tournament NPC's like Red, Blue, Lance etc? I can't seem to find any of them in the data set provided in this tool.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

Do you I just have to fiddle around with the trdata and trpoke folders? because the folders arent labelled as names, just numbers so it's a bit confusing.

hello guys, I need your help when I make new narc files, they make 282 Mo (for trdata) and 515 Mo (for trpoke), my ROM make more than 1 Go after reinsertion, and simply doesn't start.

I use pokemon black 2.

I hope you can help me (sorry for my bad english)

[Pmu]

Hello guys if anyone is still here i need your help for pokemon black 2. I edited gym leaders Colress (second battle excluding pwt), Ghetsis, Elite 4 and Iris.
When I recreate the .narc files to reinsert, trdata is 2332 Ko and trpoke is 4663 Ko (initially 23ko and 27 ko). After i reinsert them, when i try the game from the beginning. When I have to fight, Hugh for the first time (first battle in the game), the game do the regular trainer intro instead of using his vs sprite and then the game crash and I'm totally clueless.
I hope someone will be able to help me. Sorry for my bad english.
Edit: now i have the same problem as C0re except it's 524Mo for trdata and 1Go for trpoke

I'm sorry what? Are you responding to someone?

[www263]

Hello everyone!

 

Recently did some editing of trainers using these tools, and it seemed to work ok, until it really just did not. It seems that adding pokemon to trainers or applying the nature hack for me sets the trainers levels incorectly. Example, Cheren and changed his Lilipup to a lv 15 pidove with and adamant nature. The result? A lv6 Pidove. Everything exept the levels seem to be correct, but this is clearly a big problem. Any ideas what could have gone wring?

 

Kind regards

Not completely true; I'm working on a hack and I've been documenting all the changes and discoveries I'm making. What you described only happens when a trainer class is not compatable with a battle type, e.g. Lass with Double Battle. Some trainers work completely fine with Double Battles. The 1st gym leader (trio), for instance, can work properly with Double Battles.

The reason it works is because it specifically requires you to talk to the gym leader, whilst the regular trainers force you into one when passing by. When you talk to a regular trainer, it ignores dialogue but the battle happens, so I'm unsure about that. One thing I do realize though is that the AI is a bit weird, since in double battles, the enemies will occassionally attack each other. Why? I'm trying to look for an answer as to why but if any of you find out why then please tell.

Hey all. I'm looking into making a BW1 hack where all trainer battles are double battles. Is something like that even possible given how incompatible doubles trainers don't load text when they see the player?

I've never really used any forums before and I know this is an old and maybe inactive one but I've been trying to make my own rom hack with these tools recently I got the tools from someone else's video but it seems to be the same tool. I've only been editing encounters and trainer battles (pokemon and learnsets) and after I had edited most trainers until post game and changed a couple of places encounter I decided to test run it. It ran perfectly fine until I had to fight the first battle (against my rival) the game said "unknown error please power off" or something like that whilst showing a black screen. The only things I had changed for this battle was their first pokemon from a snivy to a treecko. Their ai level was 16. It's a single battle. Number of pokemon 1. Trainer class 145. Money 25. No reward items or prize and hadn't clicked any of the boxes such as healer moves nature hack or items. The treecko is level 5 0 IVs ability: any(1 or 2). I'd be extremely grateful if anyone could suggest anything that could've caused this or mistakes I may have made. Oh yeah and the version of the editor is BWTE v2.2 if that matters.
