Parakoopa Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 (edited) Project website: https://skytemple.org Hi! A few months ago I wondered if there are any tools to make custom PMD2 ROM Hacks. I found out that much work on the games had been done, but there wasn't really any user friendly GUI editor to make custom ROM hacks. So I decided, I'd give it a shot and try to make my own. This tool can edit both the ROMs of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky EU / NA. Now, before I begin, I want to stress that NONE of this would have been even remotely possible without people like @psy_commando, @Nerketur, @evandixon, @MegaMinerd or any of the other PMD ROM hackers. I'm not somebody who's good at reverse engineering ROMs or actually finding out how stuff works. They did all the hard work (especially Psy!) and they deserve all the credit for it! All I did was filling some gaps and building this editor, that I'll now present to you...: Features Map Background Editor Let's you view and edit the backgrounds of the map. Supports importing map backgrounds from image files. The collision of the map can also be changed. Scene Editor Let's you edit the position of Pokémon and Objects on the overworld maps and change how cutscenes are built. Script Editor / Debugger Let's you edit the script files of the game and debug them in realtime. > Script Editing You can edit all scripts in the game with features like auto-completion and calltips. > Debugging You can set breakpoints and let the game halt at different parts of the code. > Debug Overlay A debug overlay shows you where objects, triggers and Pokémon are rendered and what their hitboxes are > Game State View the current state of the Ground Engine, the game's script engine: What scripts and scenes are currently loaded and which actors and objects are placed on the map? > Variables View and modify the current game variables in real time. > ExplorerScript ExplorerScript is a new high level language that the scripts in SkyTemple are written in. It is compiled to the binary code (SSB) that the game uses. Dungeon Editor Edit and create your own dungeons and customize the spawns for each floor. Dungeon Tileset Editor Edit the graphics of dungeon tilesets. Fixed Room / Boss Fight Editor Edit treasure rooms and boss fights, create entirely new bosses and assign them to dungeons however you like. Ground Lists Change various lists in the game, such as the starters, the recruitment list, a list of placable NPCs (actors) or the world map. Pokémon Data Edit the data of Pokémon, including stats, move learnsets and portraits. More Features Apply ASM patches to add new functionality to the game Edit misc. graphics, such as the fonts or the message borders Edit all text in the game Source Code Can be found on GitHub: https://github.com/skytemple Downloads (Linux, Mac, Windows) Discord We have a Discord community for support: https://discord.gg/4e3X36f Edited December 11, 2020 by Parakoopa 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
End45 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I see that you are planning to add support for dungeon editing so I would like to help by posting everything I know about dungeon data in EoS, which I have compiled in this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UfiFz4xAPtGd-1X2JNE0Jy2z-BLkze1PE4Fo9u-QeYo I hope this helps with the development and makes everything easier. I'll join the Discord too, so feel free to ask me anything if you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolt54321 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) Huge fan of this so far! Any idea when you'll be able to integrate the level up data? Edited August 3, 2020 by kolt54321 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakoopa Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share Posted August 5, 2020 Currently I'm working on dungeon editing (tilesets, floor data, etc.), after that I want to add the level up data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burningocean2012 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 This is incredibly cool!Very excited to see what kind of romhacks people come up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelebiOfficial Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) This is really amazing. I waited 10 years for mystery dungeon rom hacks. I was only wondering though. When I try to change my hero into a legendary / genderless pokemon, the screen frames become pink (this happens when you access the dungeons). Now I know that this shouldn't really be much of a problem, but is there a way that the screen frames remains being blue when your hero is genderless?

Parakoopa Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 What you can definetly do is change the palette for the female border to be the same as the male. Otherwise I'd probably require some code changes to make that work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I'd probably require some code changes to make that work. Changing the pallete for the female border to the male one would be a good option indeed. Still, I was just curious if it could be implemented with a code fix since I would have to do that for each rom hack I create! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeec Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I can open it, my Computer says it is a virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parakoopa Posted February 9 Author Share Posted February 9 Hi, 1. that's not a virus message, it's just a normal message for most downloaded software. Click "Weitere Informationen" and it will let you run it. 2. Until a few days ago Windows Defender acutally flagged SkyTemple as a virus. That has been cleared with Microsoft and it's no longer the case if you download the newest update of Windows Defender. There is no virus in SkyTemple.
