  • Script Mod

    This mod lets you edit the game's LUA scripts, along with their associated language files.

    This works on both Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity. You need to have Java installed on your computer to use this.

    Instructions

    1. On the New Project window, choose "Starter Mod" in the drop-down, and fill in the name with something that makes sense. Then click OK.

    2. Wait for the loading to complete. This may take a while, even on beefy computers.
    3. Expand the newly-created project and explore the directory structure, and open a LUA script. You can do this either by double-clicking or by right-clicking and clicking Open.

    4. You will be presented with this view that you can use to edit the script. Alternatively, you can browse to (Solution Directory)/(Project Directory) and use any external text editor of your choosing. You do not need to have Sky Editor open while using an external text editor.

    5. Click the Message tab to edit the dialogue used in the script. It is recommended that you order the entries by Index, since that is usually the same order the messages appear in the script. Each entry is referred to by the ID. You can search for entries by typing the ID or any part of the entry in the search box. The language tabs let you choose which language you want to edit. Note that the US version has both "en" and "us". "en" is the European English one, and "us" is the one that's used in-game.

      Text can be edited by clicking in an entry's cell:

    6. When you're done, click File -> Save -> Save File. There may or may not be an asterisk before saving, even if you made changes.

    7. When you're ready, build the solution. Note: Until issue #43 is resolved, there will be no indication if your LUA script contains any syntax errors, so you need to be sure it works. If there are errors, the script file will be unaltered.

    Remarks

    Refer to our technical documentation section for help editing scripts and text:

    I keep getting this error when creating a project for the Script Mod. I used to get it when creating a Starter Mod but for some reason that doesn't happen anymore. I think it's trying to find a certain file, but I thought it was supposed to put that file there in the first place.

    I pushed an update that fixes this.

    Hello. I am trying to make mod that will add new pokemon to Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. I will use some of pokemon reserves that i have seen in Starter Mod pokemon list, they are also named "Spare N". But i am very noob, so i have several questions:

    Where are pokemon data files that can contain things like type and species, moves can be learned by it, model link, and etc? Where can i find "spare" pokemon data?

    How can i link pokemon and model?

    Thank you!

    Hi, I'm trying to translate PSMD into another language, thanks to your Sky Editor!

    Sadly, I've encountered a bug that Script Mod is not built properly when I've modified too many scripts.

    Normally, when I build with small script modifications, Message-FARC Patcher crashes only once, and the Script Mod is applied to the output.

    But if I modify many scripts and build, Message-FARC Patcher crashes TWICE, and the Script Mod is not applied to the output.

    Is there any workaround for this?

     

    Thanks a lot for your amazing work on Sky Editor!

    made a thread asking about this but well, didn't get any replies there. in hindsight i probably shoulda just asked here from the start, but here goes: where in the script is shop dialogue? i've been looking all over for it but i cannot, for the life of me, figure out where it is. i've found where the all the story text is just fine but i have no idea where everything else is (not that i NEED to know where everything is, i'm just looking for kecleon shop text)

    silly question, but is there a find and replace/ replace all tool? i can work without, but if there was a way to replace every instance of one word that would make my life easier

    It depends on the game, but I'm slowly building a tool for each game. Right now, I only have a decent replace tool for Explorers of Sky, and the start of one for Gates.
