    Social media wins again! I'm loving the retool of the site and forums so far... keep up the good work, people!

    Like I said before, I still get the impression that these games will contain the more action-y elements described by Masuda a while back. I'm quite curious to see what he meant by that exactly.

    FYI, converting a Pokémon from GBA to NDS is mostly very easy; the data structures are similar in many respects, although a lot of values must be converted to a new index system. Well, all of the programs that I've written have been based on a library that I've slowly added to and reconfigured over the course of about a year and a half. The idea was to release the library and then anyone could remake any of those programs easily, or create something of their own. However, it's been some time since I've added anything to it, and it seems Chase's library has the capacity to far outpace mine. As for PPSE, when Jiggy-Ninja was actively working on it he was assimilating a lot of my programs' interface and functionality (actually moreso SCV and Sabresite's awesome ideas, source code, and various other resources) to make PPSE the ultimate Pokémon save editor. Unfortunately, he has not been seen or heard from in some time.

    Interesting, I'll have to take a look at that program. As for the trash bytes, damio explained quite a bit, but I guess the Platinum and HGSS hadn't been figured out yet. And there's no way I'd want the user to rely on Pokesav for functionality missing in my program!

    Hey Grovyle, have a look at the part of my PKMDS library that handles ARDS output functions: If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'll see if I can remember the answer!

    Okay guys, here is a Megaupload link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JMN8Z7ZN

    Actually, there is a byte in the save file that corresponds to the save's region. This is documented on our wiki pages on the various save file structures. Offhand I believe it is located near the beginning of the small block, around where the trainer name and stuff is kept. To wit: Diamond and Pearl Platinum HeartGold and SoulSilver Also, I believe an option to export the ARDS codes to text would help some people, like people who don't know how to use the ARDS code manager, or who don't have the cable that comes with the ARDS, etc.

    Well, for one thing, the forums are (as far as I can tell) a much more robust platform for heavy discussion. I believe they are much more streamlined for message composition (for example, the comments box in the news article has way too many formatting buttons and other things if you want to just send up a quick reply). Plus, it doesn't seem like there are options for E-Mail notifications or anything for further replies. However, if you wish me to delete this thread and continue discussion in the news page, I will comply.

    Grovyle, you continue to astound me with your speed and capacity to learn and apply what you know. ARDS output will make this program a must-have for Pokémon hackers. Quick suggestions for you: Slightly off-topic: Hey Kazumi213, good to see you around! Thanks again for making that font (and figuring out the Unicode equivilant values?), as I have been using them since Sabresite gave them to me.
  10. codemonkey85
    Yes, that is exactly what I was doing with the program I was working on. The only things I needed to work out, IIRC, were the trash bytes and Fateful Encounter. Actually, I was considering learning how to properly write to a GBA save file to truly extract (and remove) the Pokémon from the GBA save, to emulate the Pal Park as closely as possible, but I pretty much gave up on that one (for now at least).

    Just in case you didn't see the front page: http://www.projectpokemon.org/news/150/New%20Pokémon%20Game%20in%20Develoment So, what do you guys think? Personally I think this is Masuda's notion of a more action-y Pokémon game coming to fruition. Whether or not it's a spin-off game is anyone's guess, although they've never introduced "new Pokémon" in such a game, so... hmm. FYI, normally I would expect the "News-Bot" to post this in the forums, but it didn't... possibly part of the changes from the site and forums upgrade? I dunno. So it seemed like this was the appropriate place to start a forums-based discussion... if I'm wrong, let me know, guys!

    Hey guys, if you're interested, I made my own Google Calendar for Pokémon events. Here are the relevant URLs: The dates and times are for Eastern Standard time, which is 14 hours behind Tokyo, Japan. SCV, if you're interested and want to talk about implementing it in the site, feel free to AIM or E-Mail me at my username at GMail and I'll set you up with admin privileges and stuff. If you don't want to use it, I may just post a link in a relevant forum and run the thing myself.
  13. codemonkey85
    Well that's just weird. And of course now I'm at work so I can't test it. Are you using a download accelerator or other odd thing? Is there something wrong with PP's backend? Has anyone else experienced problems downloading since last night? Really wishing I'd remembered to put it on Megaupload or something too. EDIT: Hey Silent Storm, if you have the EXE, try getting and using the DLL from this post.
  14. codemonkey85
    Guys, I fixed the attachment in the first post. It should work now.
  15. codemonkey85
    As far as the calendar itself and maintenance of the events go, it's actually dead simple... you manage everything from your Google account. You could even share the calendar and allow other people (i.e. the other admins) to view and edit the events and stuff. As for implementing it in the site, there are some details in the settings page and on the help pages at Google, but I'm not sure if specific instructions for what you must do on your end exist.

    Varune, if you want to know the mechanics that make Pokesav work, see here and here. Also, please read the forum rules if you want to know about infractions, etc.

    Dalik, please see this page for info on how shininess is determined in the Pokémon DS games. Remember too that the personality value (or PID) referenced in that article is located in the first four bytes of the Pokémon data.
  18. codemonkey85
    Ah yes, yes it is. I keep meaning to re-upload it and I haven't gotten to it yet. I'm vaguely considering storing the ZIP on my iPhone so I can E-Mail it at a moment's notice.
  19. codemonkey85
    Cyndaquil1995, you may want to check out this announcement before you ask about that. Edit: or maybe this page? The first link doesn't seem to be working for me.... SCV, do you have an opinion on my calendar idea?
  20. codemonkey85
    Well, if you know C++, you could use Chase's code library. If you know VB.Net or C#, you could use my code library. If you don't know any programming, then you've got some work to do.
  21. codemonkey85
    Interesting. I never heard or saw that... do you have a link to the page with that info?
  22. codemonkey85
    On topic: I think Pingouin7 makes an interesting point; if you really want this project to be viable, you should write a program to extract the Pokémon data from the Gen II games. If you're not a programmer, then commission someone (but not me)! Off topic: Not to nitpick, but that's arguable. The data transfer between games in the GBA was different than in previous consoles; in the old days, data went from one game to the next in one direction at a time. In the GBA, data was sent to and from both games simeltaneously. The transfer method was incompatible with the old games, so no "Time Machine" or similar functionality was provided. Also, seeing as FireRed and LeafGreen were quite appealing to those who wished to collect the Kanto Pokémon, the lack of backwards compatibility could be attributed to a giant marketing ploy.
  23. codemonkey85
    Poryhack, you're completely right. I guess it would be pretty pointless after all. MasterX, that is very possible. Is there really that much of an interest in GBA formatted event Pokémon files?
  24. codemonkey85
    No problem! I am here to help. Regarding the Japanese and Korean fonts, if you can get a hold of Sabresite, he did a lot of work (or recruited others to do a lot of work) in that area. I think he would be your best resource.
  25. codemonkey85
    Here's another idea: regarding the release dates and event dates on the right-hand sidebar of the main page? How about an iCal file or other such calendar feed? It would be so awesome if one could subscribe to a calendar of Pokémon related dates with their application or platform of choice (like Google Calendar). For my part, I would setup E-Mail and popup reminders for local wireless and wi-fi events, so as to get reminders on my phone, etc. You could even add in a blurb in the event notes like "Brought to you by Project Pokémon" or something.
