tool Pokemon Mystery Dungeon 2 - Psy_commando's Tools and research notes

Is there a way that the ability_data could also be extracted along with move_data and pokemon_data? I want to be able to edit an ability that was unused, which is Multitype.

I've been following the imgur tutorial to try to extract the rom files, but it doesn't appear to be working. I've checked the log, which yields me the following text in the log:

Quote

<!>- POCO Exception - Path not found(3) : rom/data

The files are located in a file on my desktop but I'm not sure if that's where they need to be. When I follow the directions in the tutorial, command prompt only opens for a split second before automatically closing, so I'm not sure if that has something to do with it?

Abilities are just code. You'd have to edit the asm to do it.

There might be some special characters or space in the path to your desktop.

I've been messing around with these tools for a while now and almost everything works correctly for me. The only part that doesn't seem to work is anything relating to stat growth. After making changes to say Poliwag to get 15 extra attack points when becoming level 2 the changes simply don't show in game. Yet hex editors show that changes in the m_level.bin file have been made and can even be found in the compiled Explorers of Sky rom and if I export the data from the m_level.bin file the xml files still show that the Pokemon have been modified. Even if I find a Poliwag in a dungeon their stats haven't changed to reflect the modifications to stat growth. I noticed nobody mentions anything about stat growth here so I'm wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. I'm using an NTSC copy of the game in case anyone needs to know.
