    I fully support this idea. Maybe someone could map out an image of a DS with "hotspots" that are selectable / deselectable before the code generation.

    Just so that we're clear, are you saying all of these Pokémon are shiny? The Masuda method, if I'm right, quadruples your chances of hatching a shiny, but even then you must have a ton of patience if that is the case. Assuming they are not shiny, I'd be curious to see what your breeding projects turned out. Charmander is not on my list, but it is extremely likely that I will be interested regardless. Either way, I am interested in Aron and especially Caterpie, so if nothing else I'll ask for one of those. Since you sound like a pretty serious breeder, I will try to get you a Totodile with decent IVs, although I don't have an exactly optimal setup with those. Also, I do have AIM, and my username is in my profile.

    No thanks. In my first post I specified that I want legit / legal Pokémon, which your Swellow clearly isn't. Besides, I caught a couple of them this morning, as it happens.

    Hello, I am able to breed Adamant (+Attack, -Sp. Attack) Totodile that know Ice Punch, Aqua Tail, and Dragon Dance. If you would like to trade your legit / legal Pokémon for one or more of these Totodile, please post here! I am looking mostly for Pokémon outside of the Platinum Sinnoh Pokédex. Below is a list of the specific ones I am currently interested in, but if you offer something else, I will consider it. Please note that I am only listing basic forms, but I will accept evolved Pokémon as well. For fossil Pokémon, I will accept a fossil item. I also do not mind if you trade me an egg or a hatched Pokémon. Pokémon that I am super interested in will be bolded. As an alternative, I will also accept TMs and evolution stones / items, as well as Rare Candies. Thanks!

    What are you looking for, the OT name, or OT ID / SID? If you are looking for the OT name, you should check out this RS text table. There is a bit of information about the general save structure here too. For the OT ID / SID, it's pretty easy to convert decimal to hexadecimal. Also, if you make any changes to the save file, you will need to recalculate the save file checksum(s).

    The TID and SID is always set to the trainer that hatched the egg. For the met location, I imagine it would be "Link Trade", but I am unable to verify this because I don't have another DS / copy of Pt to test it on.

    Let me explain this really quick. The data structure of a Pokémon stored in the PC is 136 bytes long. For party Pokémon, the data is 236 bytes long. The last 100 bytes hold info like calculated battle stats, level, status conditions, and other stuff. Every time you deposit a Pokémon and then withdraw it, you are basically deleting that information and then recalculating it. That is why stuff like your 300 Attack Magikarp would be fixed. However, the Pokémon's Ability is not stored in that last 100 bytes, and therefore it would not be recalculated from depositing / withdrawing the Pokémon. Get it?

    Adding Regigigas to the list now. Oh MAN did I use a lot of Ultra Balls on that one. It was a level 1 too, which made it slightly embarrassing. I actually had a pretty easy time with Regirock, Regiice, and Registeel tonight.
  9. codemonkey85
    Hm, that's a neat idea. How about an ARDS code --> PKM file converter? Or the same idea for Wonder Card files?

    Nidorina / Nidoqueen say "hi". Also technically any "baby" Pokémon. Sort of back on topic: remember how in GSC some Pokémon could run away from you? I don't mean the roaming legendaries, I mean the likes of Teddiursa. That was a pain. I never seemed to have a Fast Ball when I needed one. Back on topic for sure: I've bumped Yanma up on my list, as I attempted to catch it in the Great Marsh the other day. I didn't get one yet.

    Even if they aren't specifically being jerks, everyone should be reading the instructions. SCV, perhaps it would help if you pasted the instructions into the first post? Granted there's already a link there, but I don't think people are finding it. Not that that's encouraging.
  12. codemonkey85
    giratina, did you read the post just above yours? I answered that question already.

    It currently deletes the PKM file for a couple of reasons, one of which being that the files are also being generated in the PC's Temp location, and I want them to be removed from there ASAP so as to not bog the computer's storage down. Down the road I will work on an alternative solution, but for now that seems the best way to go. Of course, you could always make a copy of the file before you load it. To be honest, it has been kind of hard to find the kind of time I recently had for this project. Money problems and all that. But if I can just find myself about six hours of pure straight quiet, I should be able to restructure the data I have for DP into a Pt save structure, and then it's just a question of re-coding part of the library to accommodate the two separate structures. i.e. I'm hoping for Independence Day weekend to be my golden Platinum hour. But no promises.

    The space should not be a problem, as there is a space in the Pearl ROM's filename. But I will try deleting the existing directory for Platinum, since I am pretty sure I did actually forget the .NDS part. ... Ahh, that seems to have fixed it. Groovy!
  15. codemonkey85
    Maybe I am doing something wrong. I copied and pasted the filename of the ROM I was trying to edit (which is in the same directory as PPRE), and hit Set Rom. But I cannot edit the event scripts by clicking on Maps, or any button for that matter. The error log says "IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'tmp_Pokemon Platinum/root/fielddata/script/scr_seq.narc'". What's the deal? EDIT: It seems to work for Pearl. Maybe it's because Platinum was trimmed? I will have to try an untrimmed dump.

    Metronome only, eh? Interesting. I actually am posting mostly to say that Shoddy Battle is glitched to death. "Kecleon became the Typeless type"? Struggle doing 108% damage, and also missing? Hm.
  17. codemonkey85
    I would be happy to receive a Happiny and Horsea egg. I actually can provide a decent Pokémon, if you'd like a Dragon Dance / Ice Punch Totodile? For the other I'll try to dig something nice out.
  18. codemonkey85
    Ah, somehow I missed that completely. That seems good to me!

    For the Formes tab, how do you determine which forme is the default viewed in the Pokédex? And for the Seen/Caught tab, I think you should always enable Caught even if Seen is unchecked, and just automatically check Seen if Caught is checked, and uncheck Caught if Seen is unchecked. If that makes sense. Also, great job! I love how neatly laid out everything is.

    Well, some of the cave maps can be named by the floor (B1, F1, etc.), but some places will be a bit trickier than that (Turnback Cave comes to mind, as do the Solaceon Ruins). And the little houses will be tricky too, at that. I still think most of the names for the named places can still be used.
  21. codemonkey85
    Well, when you first enter an area (one that does have a name anyway), the name pops up in one of those little boxes in the upper left corner of the screen, right? So there must be something in the ROM linking that name to the area. Maybe it doesn't work the way I think it does, but it seems to me there would be a way to pull those out.

    If you use Windows XP or Vista, I think the OS has its own software for decompressing .zip files. I cannot remember what the menu item is called, but try right-clicking on the file and find something like "Extract" or "Decompress" or whatever. (I would check myself, but I have WinRAR, which apparently suppresses those context menu options.)
  23. codemonkey85
    It would be useful to me (and my prospective Pokémon DS save hacking code library). Also it appears to match the few map values that I had mined out. Incidentally, wouldn't there be a way to extract all of the in-game names of these locations by index number from the ROM?

    It's hard to say what was more difficult / annoying, this or RBY Tauros. They're both pretty much the most annoying Pokémon to capture. Actually, I once got into a routine for capturing Pokémon in the Safari Zone. I caught like a dozen each Dratini, Magikarp, and Tauros one day. So I guess Beldum has been more difficult on an attempts to captured ratio.

    No, the program isn't working for you because there is no Platinum support yet. ;p I haven't mapped out all of the offsets yet, and every time I go to do it, something stops me from getting any work done. That's my excuse and I'm stickin' with it. I promise I will get this done someday. Hopefully I can set aside a weekend and just go through the whole thing.
