You need to have the correct file count. Which requires dumping the base game along with the latest DLC contents.

Kap i tried dumping the base application earlier version (game card) & (sd card) later version, i extract both folder onto my pc and opened them using pknx but both version show incorrect version

also extracted them from my scarlet then violet game but all show the same error. did i forget something?

1. dump the rom from console, unpack to folder

2. open with pkNX, unpack all archives/etc

3. dump bcat(s) from console to folder

4. use the master dump button to reinterpret distribution raids into the encounter PKHeX legality binaries & parses.

I am not sure what it meant by "couldnt infer game version from romfs file count" Do i have to do another dump process ?

The bcat does not store pk9 data, it only stores flatbuffer data structures that the game then uses to populate the daily raids.

You can refer to pkNX to see how it ingests these files here:

https://github.com/kwsch/pkNX/blob/5b5a196bdbea0b4855760b516b186fb8df363117/pkNX.WinForms/Dumping/TeraRaidRipper.cs#L119

Kap so to simplify in layman term will meant

pkNX > TeraRipper > dumping the game rom to extract the raid pokemon info ?

The BCAT house the mystery gifts and raid events info and each folder are designated to hold the infos that led to the mystery gift and raid events. may i know where are the raid pokemon's file are located in the BCAT in order to extract the distribution data to be added into encounter_dist.paldea.pkl ?
my purpose is trying to learn how the BCAT's works 

(assuming we won the raid and gotten the raid pokemon in .pk9 ?

Yea, take a look for yourself. Just rename those files to wc9 and drag into PKHeX. If they are a Pokémon gift, they’ll load just fine.

and as for why some of them aren’t there, not all gifts are permanently in the BCAT. Once the event expires, the team that manages BCAT may choose to remove them.

And IIRC your device’s BCAT tends to sync with the server whenever you’re idle in your HOME screen connected to the network, or when you grab a new network gift, so your old archives would have been gone.

 

Anyhow, this won’t work fully for the Switch Gift Data Manager (since it’ll need data from your own BCAT; you can merge the relevant files you want into your BCAT, as per instructions in SGDM), but @CitrusBolt has been dumping them: https://citrusbolt.net/bcat/

Lastly, we have an event repository that has all the events we gathered (all of Gen 9 is there): https://github.com/projectpokemon/EventsGallery

 

And finally finally, this isn’t the right place to have this discussion. Please start your own thread in the Events Help and Questions sub-forum if you need more help.

I got carried away (LMAO) but appreciate all the pointers given by sir theSLAYER and Kaphotics, will hit the start new topic if i hit the wall somewhere

yes

Thanks theSLAYER , i just need answer to 3 more questions if you can help.

I opened up the BCAT file, are the cards located in the double digit folders?

and am i correct to say each wonder card number are made up of the folder digit + the file of each card?

and lastly why some wonder cards that i have redeemed are not in the BCAT ?  i had the pokemon still in my boxes

This only applies for cards distributed locally. (as in you have to attend physically, and there's a distribution beacon within the area. Typically shop-wide, or at events, venue/hall wide)

As far as I know there's no Gen 9 card distributed locally.

Additionally, for non local cards (serial, wireless, etc), you could have just dumped them via JKSM -> BCAT dumping.
 

My intention is to extract the mystery gift.wc9. Would that be possible with the bcat.file?

Hi how do i get the wc9 file from the BCAT file? 

Do i need a viewer to view the bcat file and extract the .wc9 file?

General steps, under construction.

1. Install Wireshark on your computer.
2. Change your wireless card to Monitor Mode
3. Start up Wireshark
4. Select the applicable MAC adresss (let's say a beacon etc) and Apply as Filter

hello, will you be updating the tutorial for obtaining the wc9 file? or is there other way to obtain the wc9 when we are redeeming the wonder card on our switch with nintendo server ?

I don't know, which is why I was vague in my reply. It's not something you can just quickly change with zero knowledge.

Merging the assemblies after build might be fine to do, but again, I do not think you need to do this. Plugin files really should be kept as separate files.

thank you for providing some head start and heads up kap!!

ps:

ILMerge or change the PKHeX.WinForms to build including dlls in a folder; change PKHeX's settings to load plugins from within the assembly.

Ideally, you don't do this because there's no real need to.

Thank you kap ! How do i change the winforms? I tried to put the plugins.dll into winforms > mainwindow and publish the winforms but it wouldnt build correctly with the plugins

hi all i am trying to compile useful plugins like terafinder.dll into pkhex and publish it as an .exe using visual studio without having to create a plugins folder in pkhex directory and pulling the relevant plugins.dll into it like a sort of plugins incorporation when building pkhex

is there a guide i can read on it ?
