Project Overload

[evandixon]

How can I publish without using an installer?

Upload a zip containing the exe in Bin/Debug/ of the project folder. (Or Bin/Release/ if you set the program to release mode)

[LEGOanimal22]

Okie dokie.

A beta version is almost ready! I'm so excited to release it!

[LEGOanimal22]

Can someone look through my locations to see if they are up-to-date?

https://github.com/LEGOAnimal22/Project_Overload/blob/master/Overload/PokemonLib.vb

They are in enum G5Locations

Apparently I was missing B2W2 Locations. Thank You

[LEGOanimal22]

Version 1 is out! Comes with a test pkm.

Note: Locations do not work. PID Generator just makes a random number that is not valid.

Also, ignore the label that says Debug.

AND, the open/save dialogs open twice for some reason

[evandixon]

Don't use OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog unless you're also checking the value of the expression.

You use ShowDoalog then use it again to check the value. So the first time is meaningless.

[LEGOanimal22]

So,

OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
If OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog = OK Then
OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()

?

[Lorshinator]

I'm a bit out of the loop. What exactly does this do, and how does it work?

Well, judging from what I see, it looks like you can essentially create your own Pokemon, or at least within the boundaries it has?

[evandixon]

So,

OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()
If OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog = OK Then
OpenFileDialog.ShowDialog()

?

Remove the 1st and 3rd line, then the dialog will only show once instead of 3 times.

Yes, you can create your own pokemon. It is kind of like Pokegen, without save file support.

In the first post, I have features I want to make and features I've made(obviously).

For ex., the G4 to G5 Converter converts your pokemon from any forth gen pokemon into a new poketransfered fifth gen pokemon.

If you want a tutorial, I can make one for you

[LEGOanimal22]

I'll post a tutorial over a couple of posts

There is only one big tab, PKM. Under it are five other tabs: Info, Met, Stats, Attacks, and OT. Let's start with the info tab.

PID: AKA personality value. The Generate PID function isn't very helpful, so I recommend using PikaEdit's PID function. Or, just type in a random hexadecimal number.

EXP: Your pokemons experience. The max value for each isn't set yet, so you'll probably have to Google it.

Pokemon and Nickname: The nickname switch to the selected Pokemon automatically.

Poke Ball: The type of ball your pokemon is in.

Ability: Abilities can be chosen with the box next to the Ability box

Happiness: Happiness rating between 0 and 255.

Item: what item you want the pokemon to hold.

Language: Self-explanatory

Nature: determines stat boosts and drops

Hometown: Game Recieved in.

Checksum: DON'T TOUCH

Male/Female: Determines gender(broken)

Checkboxes: Read their text.

Now, the Met tab.

Egg Location: If your pokemon isn't hatched from an egg, leave it at BLANK1. If you want to set it to day-care, it won't work.

Met Location: Don't do anything past PokeShifter.

Dates: Year, Month, and Day you received your pokemon

Encounter Type: Leave this at the one that says Pal Park.

[LEGOanimal22]

Stats tab!

IVs: Each have a 0 - 31 range. You can do whatever you feel like.

EVs: Each have a range of 0 - 255. If you're making a legal pokemon, then the total EVs have to be less than 510.

Pokerus: This doesn't do anything yet.

[LEGOanimal22]

Attacks tab!

Moves: Whatever moves your pokemon can legally learn.

PP: Power Points, they change when you pick the moves.

PPUPs: These don't have any effect.yet.

[LEGOanimal22]

Finally, the OT tab.

ID: Trainer ID. You can see this in the game.

SID: Trainer Secret ID. If you don't know this, I recommended going to http://pokecheck.org/ Follow the easy onsite instructions to upload a pokemon.

Trainer Name: Your Trainer Name.

Male/Female: Determines Trainer gender.

Met Level: Level you met your pokemon at.

Final note: Nickname and Trainer Name trash bytes are.not supported yet.

Edit: You HAVE to add .pkm at the end of the file. The program won't do it for you.

Slowly fixing bugs, adding new features.

Could someone donate multiple copies of their Spiky Eared Pichu for personal research?

[theSLAYER]

There are some on Pokecheck,

an example would be https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=4665674 and https://www.pokecheck.org/?p=detail&uid=4738932

Just a note/reminder: Spikey Pichu cannot be sent to Gen V, and even if you "hack" into Gen V, it will not show. How it is identified in Gen IV is the same "forme change" bit as other Pokemon.

Also, a Shiny variation is programmed into the game, but I read that the game prevents you from receiving one.

[LEGOanimal22]

Note the first ones ID/SID combo is Illegal

[LEGOanimal22]

Now in the early stage of the PID Generator!:

EDIT: I attached a new version. It save the pkm as "test.pkm" in the same folder as the application. Please send me before(made with another program) and after(ran through Overload) files.

[LEGOanimal22]

Latest version released!

Please do not touch the "Pokedex.dexfile" and "Moves.dexfile" files. They are the application's resources.

[theSLAYER]

As mentioned in PM.

This is the Pkm file that cause the crash.

[LEGOanimal22]

Latest version out!

Bugs fixed:

Fixed loading locations

Fixed bug with Deoxys

Added load function for encrypted files*

*Please let me know if you experience any issues with this.

[LEGOanimal22]

New version out! Locations are now fully functional. There is still a bug with the IsNicknamed flag.
