pkNX: Nintendo Switch ROM Editor & Randomizer

[ikrtheblogger]

I’m having an issue changing the raid rewards on my physical copy of Pokemon Sword.

I have dumped my RomFS and ExeFS of Sword version 1.3.2 using NXDumpTool Rewrite and have copied them on my computer to edit. I have both the 2020 build and the most recent build. For some reason, I can edit things like trainers and items but have no ability to edit raids. Instead I get the error message:

“Unable to cast object of type ‘GeneratedVector_4a9ed7339eed7b298a3c9fda278e3eba_GreedyMutable’1[FlatSharp.ArrayInputBuffer]’ to type ‘System.Collections.Generic.IList’1[pkNX.Structures.FlatBuffers.SWSH.INestHoleReward]’.

How do I fix this? Or is there somewhere I can find a dump file to put with my RomFS and ExeFS that already has the raid rewards edited?

I recently tried editing the values of some moves like making pound more powerful and giving splash a porpose but it didn't do anything in game. And its not as if the mod isn't loading, i was able to change the type of a pokemon but the moves wouldn't change.

For SWSH, how do I go about changing the starters by chance? I've been struggling to find out for the longest-

Would anyone here be able to help me understand how to edit abilities? I dont mean changing a pokemons ability but actually WHAT an ability does or at the very least i wanted to do something silly with the move worry seed where it gives a different ability other than insomnia so if anyone would be able to help with any of that it would be AWESOME

Requires editing the game code, which is not under the scope of pkNX.

It's not simple at all.

Hello, i randomized Pokemon Sword recently and wanted to ask if there is a reason why all early routes and trainers only get basic pokemon and no evolved/stronger pokemon. I couldnt find any setting regarding this.

Hi, when I extract my game it only creates the romfs folder and I've also noticed that in suyu when I extract the game it doesn't show the "base" option

hi can anyone help me? i wanna do some edits to the pokemons stats and types while keeping all the changes done by the mod: "pokemon divine Sword", kinda like my dream romhack but when i tried to open the files with pknx it says "couldnt infer game version from romfs" i already did the dumping of the game with all the updates and dlcs, even when i try to open only those without the hack it works fine, but not with the hack files, what am i doing wrong?

Hi, I post my message to share a crash I have when I introduce the file with the EXEFS and the ROMFS in it. If you have any solutions for solving this problem it would be expetional. Thank you.

Read the second line of the message. You need to dump the base ROM in addition to the latest game patches. pkNX only works with the latest files.

Sorry, for being stupid. Thanks for the quick reply. I have one last question. To randomize static and legendary pokemon how can we do it. Thanks for your reply

If the program has an editor, then it should have a randomization tab. If not, then it hasn't been researched/implemented, or isn't advisable.
