answered [SOLVED] Sun and Moon Important GARC File Locations

RubyCarbuncle · January 6, 2017

Hello, I'm wondering if someone here can give the GARC locations I need to go about replacing a few things. I have the GARC locations for both battle models, overworld models, and Trainer images, but I'm wondering where the following are:

Game Text

Story Text

All files relating to the Trainer teams (in ORAS it'd be "trdata," "trpoke")

I know that Pk3DS can edit the files without telling me where they are, but the method I'm using to get my 3DS to read edited GARCs is different than what I'm used to, and Pk3DS doesn't tell me which GARCs are being edited like the XYORAS version did. Likewise, I don't think anyone has a compiled list of all GARC files yet like there was for XY and ORAS (not that I've found, anyhow) I just need to know these locations so I can insert them onto my SD Card myself.

Thank you for your time.

Pfft. That's what I get for not looking clearly enough. My apologies. Still kind of a novice when it comes to the in-depth stuff of all this. Thank you for the help, though, I'll keep this in my mind if I ever need to know another location.

@BelmontSlayer I see. I searched high and low on GBATemp and never found anything. Guess I just missed it somewhere. Thanks though.

That pasted list on gbatemp came from SciresM/myself and is from the demo; it is not completely correct as the demo was a modified copy of the full game like oras... however, garcs were removed from the S/M demo, causing things to shift.

ex/ trpoke is 106 in full game, was 103 in demo.

We didn't bother updating the romfs list for the full games mainly due to the rush to get info & update tools; the files that we cared to look for in the full game are in pk3DS's internal documentation (separate from SM_DEMO's references).

BelmontSlayer · January 8, 2017

Gotcha, well thanks for the list Kaphotics it's been a really big help. It seems most of the GARC info is still mostly the same though, I haven't had much trouble.

theSLAYER · January 27, 2017

Hey, I've been wondering if anyone has any idea where the location of the Blue/Teal ZigZag background of the Pokedex is?
I'm looking to have it changed.

Would you happen to know where

a\0\9\0 - MoveData part 2?

ended up in the full game? It's an empty file in the decompiled full game, and based on my research, there are a number of flags for effects and properties of moves that, although they are present in in a\0\1\1, changing the values in those locations does not change the end result when recompiled (for example, the flag indicating that a move is copied by the Dancer ability, or the flag that indicates that a move has a recharge turn following its use).

files are usually +/- a few spots relative to the demo, look for similar files

ABZB · September 10, 2017

Got it - I'm currently extracting the demo so I can see what what I'm looking for looks like.

I posted only so that if someone knew off the top of their head, it would save me a several of minutes.

EDIT:

Having extracted & unpacked, my demo garcs don't match up to that list, at least for that section - a/0/9/0 is empty.

Comparing file sizes, it looks like that section is off - the two sequential DUMMYs there marked 4 & 5 I have as 5 & 6, the file that contains the models is 4 instead of 3 (based on filesize)...

which implies that a/0/9/1 might be what I am looking for.

EDIT2:

a/0/8/8 is marked as DUMMY on the list, but my extract of the demo has it being 2440 KB.

If that was in error, the creator of that list might have skipped over a/0/8/8 (i.e. marking a/0/8/8 with the properties of a/0/8/9), and thus been one off for [some of] the following files.
