Heyo! i did this code and im unable to save the script to then run on emulator? in the emulator on skytemple to test it works perfectly, but saving it to play on emu, it says "cant save script" the reason stated being in the debug as "explorerscript.error.ParseError: line 2313:4: extraneous input 'if' expecting {<EOF>, 'const', 'macro', 'coro', 'def'}" and im unsure what to do here, as that code wasnt anything your code touched i thought. any idea whats causing it?

 

I suppose my question is more of a "where tf does this PMD EoF rom hack keep the list of starters you choose from? because is sure aint the dittos under the starter menu, and it bypassed the limit on how many pokemon you can have in said menu"

you deleted line 2313 cause' that error means there's something missing from the line to be a proper syntax, in this case coro EVENT_HA_YU_KI. you can cross reference this image and just add it back in. it should look like this btw : 



also, the new quiz is at S02P01A.

if you saved before going on the mission just revert back to it. if otherwise you could try the 'FixMemorySoftLock' asm patch (i haven't tested it yet but im pretty sure it should fix it alongside cutscene stuff. blame the ds for having the processing power of a potato Dx). its the issue regarding sprite file size that discussed about before. if that doesn't work, well, you'll have to wipe your save.

oh yeah i should note that it'll revert the sprites that'd cause the crash in that instance into the placeholder ones, so if you see a purple and black box thats why.

among other things, after much purloin (:3c) i finally finished documentation. it contains every added mon and their location- no longer must you ask where a specific mon is!! or ask where a certain legendary/mythical is!! or anything of that sort!! direct anyone who askes to this. On top of all of that I made a mini faq at the start.  Sorry if the formatting is kind of weird, i didn't really feel like making a spreadsheet. if anything, please notify me if i missed anything, otherwise, enjoy.

I feel that, question, can i just start adding the new pokemon from gen5+ and updating the portraits for them? or have you already finished adding them and are tinkering with other settings? id rather not be spending time doing work on something youve already done

 

Just gonna try to add ferroseed and ferrothorn towards the bottom of the list, in the section of unused pokemon above testelil and see if i can repeat the process with others if it works lol

yeah you can work backwards like that, my current list ends at slot 1957 so everything between that and Testilil *should* be fair game!

Loving this btw. reverse engineered the newtest3 and newtest4 to choose the starters i want from a large list. might decide to do some portrait and sprite work as well. if i can figure out how to format them properly. inkay needs some portraits and i draw squids in my free time so yknow. half the battle. I think im doing this properly-ish? any low effort tips or tricks you have up your sleeve to point me in the right direction?

Hi, i want to start by saying im VERY very bad with technology stuff. I downloaded this on my android tablet and installed a US rom and the rom you provided here. I installed the app "Xdeltatool", but now i am having troubles applying the patch, its giving me XD3_INTERNAL error. Its very likely that I am doing something wrong when I choose the file. For original file, I chose the US rom. For the patch, I can only choose the .xdelta file of 22 mbs called explorers of fortune .xdelta, because its the only .xdelta file i have, I cant choose the zip file all together as an example. Then it gives me this error. What am i doing wrong? Sorry for the probably very obvious question

try getting the us rom from vimm's vault, xdelta only checks if the rom is an exact replica of the rom used to make the patch

actually, im pretty sure its xdeltatool. get xdelta patcher on pc

no. what i am saying is you need xdeltapatcher to apply the patch, so, you need a pc since xdeltapatcher is an executable.

actually you could try running xdeltapatcher with termux if you want
