Ok, I've toyed a little more with the 0x1C values. They're how the game rigs it to go against certain opponents.

02 03 30 00 
01 01 00 00 
01 01 00 00 
01 01 00 00

In summary:

XX YY ZZZZ * 7 participants (you are the 8th!)

XX = PKM Data Setting
 02 - Defined within .pwt
 01 - Defined randomly within narc 2
 00 - Defined randomly within narc 1
Note: I think the difference between 01 and 00 is just the NARC it grabs from. There's 2 that contain sets; the game would pick randomly.

YY = Bracket Setting
 00 - ??
 01 - Filler Trainer
 02 - Possible First Battle
 03 - Possible Whenever battle
 04 - Semifinalist Battle
 05 - Finalist Battle
Note: If there are multiple entries with the same battle setting, the game randomly decides which ones you will face.
Essentially the game just tiers them up ensuring the highest settings are faced last, and all defined battles happen.

ZZZZ = Trainer Override
 As I mentioned above, there's certain #'s which correspond to trainers.
 I listed the XX=02 (Special/Defined Trainer) override values, I'd bet XX=01/00 are crappy trainers and not of interest.

The 0x1C values from previous tournaments can be used as pre-sets for certain common scenarios.

[Prof. 9]

For the sake of editing, 3D5/3D6/3D7 should be set by the player, thus be 0. The only thing that isn't set is the Announcer Text, which can also be set to 0 since it calls the "Trainer Extra" (at the time I didn't know its function).

So essentially all of these could be set to 0 and defined by the Editor.

Well, the preset text has one extra perk, namely that it's automatically translated to all other languages (not sure why you'd do that since the tournament name/description/ruleset is in English but hey, the option is there). I think I'll check for presets when the text is being saved and put a combobox next to the edit box for choosing presets, once I get around to working on the editor a bit more (been focusing on actually playing the game the past week). That would also be helpful for people who don't really care/can't think of anything.

Wow. Amazing work Kaphotics. ROM editors tying this in with their take on the new games are going to have a field day.

[Kaphotics]

0x07 = Language

0x1	 日本語 (Japan)
0x2	 English (US/UK/AU)

Haven't seen these yet, but theorized:
0x3	 Français (France/Québec)
0x4	 Italiano (Italy)
0x5	 Deutsch (Germany)
0x7	 Español (Spain/Latin Americas)
0x8	 한국어 (South Korea)

0x08-0x09 = Tournament ID

Pretty much the same as Wondercard ID, I guess it would ensure no current duplicate downloaded tournaments. It's like this for Live/WiFi tournaments. Check the ID on the Junior/Senior tournament, 10001 & 10002.

00001 - 2012 Japan Nationals
00002 - Challenge the Champion, Lance!
00003 - Gathered! Gym Leaders!
00004 - The Legendary Rotation Battle!
00005 - The Battle of Legendary Pokémon!
10001 - Junior Division Challenge
10002 - Senior Division Challenge
10004 - Junior Division Challenge (Fixed)

Non-Canon
00001 - WCS2011 junior（English）
00002 - WCS2011 Senior（English）
00003 - WCS2011 master（English）
00004 - WCS2011 junior（English）★
00005 - WCS2011 Senior（English）★
00006 - WCS2011 master（English）★

==

I think 0x0 might be BP rewarded. The rest might be for custom rewards instead of BP (and instead of shards on loss). May test later. nope. didn't see any effect

[Prof. 9]

I'm starting to think it's impossible to change the rewards. I set all the variables that we don't know about yet (first 7 bytes + language byte, 0x26E, last 5 bytes of a trainer) to 0xFF, and I still got 2 BP in the end EDIT: and regular Shards.

EDIT2:

...

0x1C Book Girl (Female)

0x1D Maid (Female)

there's more...

Sometimes the ones after schoolkid don't work... dunno why yet.

Looks like there are no more regular Trainer sprites you can use, the game defaults to 0 for values >= 0x1E.

EDIT3: The pre-set intro messages change depending on when you fight the trainer in the tournament. EDIT4: Oh, you already listed those. Didn't see the buttons at the bottom.

EDIT5:

XX = PKM Data Setting

02 - Defined within .pwt

01 - Defined randomly within narc 2

00 - Defined randomly within narc 1

Note: I think the difference between 01 and 00 is just the NARC it grabs from. There's 2 that contain sets; the game would pick randomly.

It turns out that 0x03 is also a valid value. Using it forces the game to use the special trainer override value (shifted by one, so 0 = Cheren, etc.) and forces the pre-set battle message. It also makes the game use pre-set teams, but I'm not sure where they're being taken from. When I tried to fight Marlon, he sent out Golbat, Zangoose, Watchog and Klink.

EDIT6: The 16-bit value at 0x3DC in the trainer data seems to be some kind of bitfield (though only the lower 4 bits appear to be used) that's apparently used during battle. The 0x8 bit is shifted 4 places to the left (so 0xF results in 0x87).

Masters Tournament is now live.

10003 - 2012 Masters Division Challenge

It seems as if all 3 tournaments were created before the Juniors tournament was released, hence why Juniors (fixed) is 10004. Food for thought

[HydroSage]

Is there any way to edit the non downloable tournaments? I'm not sure if anyone is working on creating tournaments; I had an idea about making a tourney which has the rivals/playable characters as the participants (Lucas, Dawn, Hilbert, Hilda, Nate, Rosa, Barry, Hugh) just a random thought.

I've parsed their teams, they do reside in the narcs. In the General ROM info thread I give their location.

/a/2/5/3 ********* pwtpoke2 - 1000 files, first bunch are for PWT (second set)

/a/2/5/4 ********* pwttr1, 68 files - world tournament trainer pkm choices 1v1

/a/2/5/5 ********* pwttr6, 68 files - world tournament trainer pkm choices 6v6

/a/2/5/6 ********* pwtpoke - world tournament pkm sets (first set)

/a/2/5/7 ********* 1000 files, pokemon sets pretty much filled ~still diff (subway?)

/a/2/5/8 ********* pwt vgc top4 event, relic of dev testing which is unaccessible but I converted it here.

Problem is, I'm pretty sure that modding the underlying tournament structure would require edits to the overlays. No idea which one; that's the issue. If you want, you can just replace their sprites/text and just swap up which teams they choose such that you get the lineup you desire for your hack.

Might as well just make a PWT Download using alder and such, then change the sprites and text of the special trainers.

[Kaphotics]

Made a teambuilder in excel.

Spits out a 6*0x34 long string which you can directly overwrite an existing entire team with. The text edits/brackets/etc are simple enough to do quickly in hex (for now)

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/12206225/pwt-teambuilder.xlsx

Edit: fixed shiny flag not being set. Abilities can't be illegal, the game has to have one that is legal for it...

Edited November 25, 2012 by Kaphotics

[Prof. 9]

Nice work. I should get around to finishing that editor of mine; can't really think of a good way to handle trainer sprite/name/class/message selection in the GUI...

I noticed that 3 is also a valid value for the PKM data setting.

Based on the mode value (XX) and the special Trainer value (ZZ), two variables are cached:

Mode 0:

0x00 = 0x44 + rand(10)

0x01 = 0

Mode 1:

0x00 = 0x4E + rand(10)

0x01 = 0

Mode 2:

0x00 = Special Trainer value

0x01 = 0xF1 + trainerNumber (0-6)

Mode 3:

0x00 = Special Trainer value

0x01 = 0

note: rand(10) takes numbers 0-9 in a random order, so it doesn't generate any duplicates

The game then looks at 0x01 first. If it's 0xFF, it takes the player's team and continues. If it's 0xF1, 0xF2, 0xF3 or 0xF4, it looks at the special Trainer value; if that's zero, it takes the Trainer sprite value in the trainer's data.

Awesome tool, thanks for your work!

I have a lil question, based on some of the options on your tool. Is there a way to edit the rules of a specific tournament already included in game (I mean, not the downloadable ones)? For instance, to make the Champion's single tournament be a 6v6 battle? I don't know why the preference from the devs to make single battles 3v3 (possibly time per battle, who knows), but it'd be really cool to be able to edit the rules for certain tournaments like world leaders and champions to make them full singles/doubles 6v6 battles.

[Kaphotics]

That question was asked already (post #33) and I provided an answer.

Not possible atm, feel free to research it yourself.

[Prof. 9]

It looks like the 2012 Masters Division Challenge (ENG10003) was silently updated; Abel's Metagross had his Ice Beam changed to Ice Punch and the : was removed from the name to make it distinct from the old one.

I've gathered all the PWT files I had (most from this thread, some Italian ones I found on GBARL) and put them in a ZIP with ID tags and the correct names. You can download that here: http://www.mediafire.com/?2wj2bv0jhyr6811

Work on PWTEditor has stalled, I've been busy with other stuff and I'm not really satisfied with how it's turned out so I'll be rewriting parts of it sometime in the future. For what it is though (a PWT extractor/inserter) it should do the trick just fine.

[Ahito95]

I can confirm that the Italian files are legit because I'm the one who uploaded them on GBARL

Also, many thanks for your tool again

Does someone have the Japanese tournament "You Can Challenge the Unova League!"? It's the only tournament with an end date (31st January 2013) and it's the only one we don't have

[BlackShark]

Yes, I have that tournament

Edit: I also uploaded the French, German and Spanish tournaments

Thanks BlackShark!

Here's the new version of the Italian Master Division Challenge: http://sdrv.ms/W92xm9

[PKMNTrainerNick144]

Quick question, how do you parse all the teams and stuff? What program did you use because I just used your PWT Teambuilder and finished making a team, which is my actual Black2 team. I just want to know how can I make this officially work on my Black2 ROM.

[Kaphotics]

You just need to paste them in with HxD over the previous team. You need to select the entire pkm field that you are replacing so that no extra data is added...

It's been a while so I don't remember. :\

[Infra]

I've done some editing and I've added a custom tournament, and it's working fine. Thanks again for all these findings!

I've wondering also, from what I've read in the thread and modified in the .pwt files; there's 4 trainers called up and whose teams can be included in the file structure. The other 3 lines can also be edited to change the sprites of the other participants, so you can change the sprites of all particpants on a download tournament. There's only 4 sets of pokemon teams included in the file, however. Is there a way to add the 3 extra team sets in order to not only have all the sprites edited but also all 7 custom pokemon teams? It wouldn't make sense for all trainer info to be changeable and not have a defined team for each trainer. There should be some variable in the file structure before the beggining of the pokemon and trainer data blocks that sets the amount of pokemon sets included in the file, I bet. That'd be the last piece of info needed in order to make fully customizable download PWTs.

[Prof. 9]

Well, none of the currently released tournaments have had more than 4 trainers as far as I know so I doubt there is such a variable. Here's a compilation of all the stuff that's been figured out so far, I don't think I've posted it here yet:

I think there are 4 text messages total and each can be assigned to one of these types of dialogs:

Introduction, pre-battle dialog, winning dialog (in battle), losing dialog (in battle), winning dialog (after battle), losing dialog (after battle).
