pk3DS: Pokémon 3DS ROM Editor and Randomizer

[H_crash]

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before but I'm trying to edit static encounters in ORAS, specifically changing on of the mirage spot's pokemon to Hoopa, but after editing the romfs, putting DDlField.cro on titles/titleid/romfs and booting the game up while Enable Paches is selected, the game just loads the normal encounter like it read nothing from the new cro file. Any solutions?

remove any installed patches, the patch's romfs overrides your edited base rom files.

Not sure I have any patches installed...? What are some examples of patches I need to unistall?

oh yeah, I deleted the update data already from  system option

EDIT: nevermind, It worked, I just redumped the romfs and exefs, last time I dumped them BEFORE deleting the patches, thanks a lot for helping!

Hey. I'd just like to know if there was a way to change the Poochyena in ORAS that learns all the fangs to something else? I see the Poochyena in the static encounters but that's the one at the start if I am not mistaken.

Thanks!

isnt all the fang moves learned via breeding?  if so any pooch can be used or changed in the editor to learn at set level

Sorry if I wasn't specific enough, I meant the one at the start where you learn about sneaking that comes with a single fang move. Just wanted to know if I can change the Pokemon to something else or not.

Thanks.

Do I need to keep using 1.0 for USUM for pk3ds to work because I am trying with 1.1 and the game crashes.

Dump the 1.1 patch with GodMode9, overwrite files in your game dump with those from the update, and work from there. This applies to all games as well (XY 1.5, ORAS 1.4, SM 1.2).

[Brodie]

How do I dump the patch itself? Because I tried dumping the whole game after installing 1.1 but not sure how to do just the patch.

GodMode9 -> [A:] SYSNAND SD -> title -> 0004008e -> 001b5000 (US) or 001b5100 (UM) -> content -> 00000000.tmd -> TMD file options... -> Build CIA (standard)

It'll dump to sd:/gm9/out/ which you can then extract on your PC.

[Brodie]

Okay I extracted and i just got DecrytedExeFS.bin and DecryptedRomFS.bin. I used Asia81's HackingToolkit am I then meant to do something to the .bin folders to make then editable or is there a different program I should use.

Edit: in the mean time im going to try what you said again but instead of Build CIA, build a CXI

Edit: Alright dumping as CXI worked. Thank you for the help.

Is there any way to alter what will hatch from an egg when a certain Pokemon breeds? For example, if I wanted to make Genesect breedable, but only result in Kabuto eggs, is that doable?

[SHMALLOW]

Hi, sorry if this has been answered before but I'm trying to edit move that make contact to become not make contact. I'm playing Pokemon Sun.
From my experience in OR/AS, i just need to edit flag1 value in PK3DS, so from my understanding :

73 --> move make contact

72 --> doesn't make contact

75 --> move that need 2 turns attack (like fly, sky attack, etc)

76 --> move that need recharge after have been used ( like Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Blast Burn, etc)

But in Pokemon Sun, flag 1 value is different.

So what should i do if i want to edit move that doesn't make contact ?

the flag1 is a bunch of flags (see bits); the lowest bit is apparently 'makes contact'.

73 = 1001001

72 = 1001000

Thanks for the explanation 
 I will try experimenting based on lowest bit

Okay, so I've tried out builds 205, 224 and 288, and no matter which one I use, changing Move Tutor data in USUM doesn't seem to work.

The changes show up when you talk to one of the Beach Tutors (or the Tree Tutor), but when I select, say, Cut (Bind => Cut), it's branded "Incompatible" for every Pokémon, even when I had previously ticked Bind in pk3DS's Personal/Move Tutors/Tutors column. Also, any changes I make to Move Tutors in shop.cro don't show up in Personal (when TM changes, stored in code.bin, do).

Is this something wrong with me and my changes, or a limitation of the program?

Changing tutor shop selections doesn't work, same as OR/AS. There's a separate array which pk3DS doesn't change.

...Okay then. That's quite disappointing. Since this is my first time using pk3DS (only got 3DS cfw/Luma in late November), I had no idea of this, or that it wouldn't have worked for ORAS.

So, I have to ask...why let someone edit something that doesn't work? As in, why not just have changing moves disabled in shop.cro (but leaving changing BP costs in)? I don't get it.

Lastly, I'm guessing ticking already-implemented moves (e.g. Fire Punch, Shock Wave, Water Pulse) works just fine? For example, ticking Earth Power on Typhlosion would allow Typh to learn it? I've been hesitant to touch Tutors since seeing the "Incompatible" label.
