spellsky7 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I appreciate all the work done on this website (my save file would still be corrupted without this site's help!) so i just want to make a shout out to the programmers on here. I was wondering if it is possible to reset the event of receiving your national diploma in Heartgold (or previous generations, but Heartgold is the game I'm currently playing) using PKHeX. I can see that there are certain events that can be reset and edited, but I did not notice the diploma event. I tried to see if I could delete one Pokemon (Ratatta and Raticate specifically) from my box and Pokedex, and catch it again, but that didn't work. If anyone has insight into this particular manner I would appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaphotics Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Probably need to toggle an event flag. As for which one, dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 If there is an event flag for this, that would be great. I'm not seeing that available though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing that available though What you can do is find a HeartGold savefile at someplace like GameFaqs, fill the pokedex with PKHeX, make a copy the edited savefile, receive the diploma with an emulator, then do a before/after comparison in PKHeX's "Event Flags" tab. It will pinpoint the flag that triggers it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 hmm I'll give this a shot thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 (edited) ugh the saves that i tried using from GameFaqs weren't recognized by either DESMUME or PKHex Edited January 27, 2018 by spellsky7 typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxyz Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If they're not .dsv or .sav format, try importing the save after the rom is loaded. Then save the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 27, 2018 Author Share Posted January 27, 2018 When i load the rom and import the save, it crashes the program. The files available on the gamefaqs are .duc and .dst--a .dst i made a while ago works fine but not the one from gamefaqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxyz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) I'll attach my modified HG save. I'd do the flag tests myself, but I currently working on a couple other projects. -removed- Edited January 28, 2018 by Deoxyz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 okay thank you! and i was able to get the diploma using your save. There does not seem to be any difference between before and after receiving the diploma unfortunately...it may just not be an option in the PKHex program at the moment. I can attach the .dst files before and after receiving the diploma if anyone wants to analyze. It is nice seeing the diploma again at least testing diploma 1.dst testing diploma after receiving.dst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxyz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You should compare with actual .sav/.dsv files, not save states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can attach the .dst files before and after receiving the diploma if anyone wants to analyze. dst files are (d)esmume save (st)ates, not save files. The save states are specific to the emulator version & ROM you're running, so it's not guaranteed to be loaded. You'd have to attach save files instead (sav/dsv).

spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) ah gotcha okay heres a .sav file before getting the diploma, the avatar is right next to the director heartgold before diploma.sav Edited January 28, 2018 by spellsky7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deoxyz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Flags Set: 0323,0324 Constant 75: 97->99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 is that in the "event flag" section? guess im not seeing these numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deoxyz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yes under the "Research" tab. That's what gets set after viewing the diplomas, so just reverse it on your main save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 what do you mean by the constant values? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 alrighty so perhaps set the constant 75 to 97 then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellsky7 Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 That worked thanks a ton! Is there a good place where I can learn how you were able to compare the flags checked as well as constants? I probably could not see that without help at the moment...

Deoxyz Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The Research tab under Event Flags, where you can load your before(Old) and after(New) savefiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
