ClosedBox Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 (edited) [Tutorial] How to find and modify PokeMMO strings Note: Guide done with all ROMs in English. What is this guide for? This guide is to change any text from the game. You want to shorten a certain string to avoid long texts, speeding up your healing time in Poke Center, quickly planting and harvesting berries, ignoring extra text on gym reruns, etc. What do I need? Having both PokeMMO/data/strings and PokeMMO/dump/strings on your directory. Really suggest reading nuver9 guide to understand how the string files and language works. Steps: 1. WIP Depending on where string is found, you have to add the line to your _edits.xml files. dump_BPE_en.xml -> z_strings_en_edits.xml -> Regular strings. dump_BPR_en.xml -> z_strings_en_edits.xml -> Regular strings. dump_CPU_0_en.xml -> z_strings_en_3_edits.xml -> Sinnoh strings. dump_IRB_0_en.xml -> z_strings_en_2_0_edits.xml -> Unova strings type 0. dump_IRB_1_en.xml -> z_strings_en_2_1_edits.xml -> Unova strings type 1. And that's how you modify strings. Retro-steps: Add a_placeholder_for_enabling_unova_edits.xml file with default content. Create the empty files for string modifications. Don't forget to modify the lang and lang_full to your language, for this guide I used en / English. Find the string we want to modify from the dump files. Identify from which file it comes from, and copy the string row into its correct _edit.xml file. Modify the string inside _edits.xml file. Restart PokeMMO. In the end, your PokeMMO/data/strings folder should look like this. And they won't be overwritten when a new update comes out. Thanks for reading.

nurver9 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 You're breaking everyone's games by reimporting region2 dialog. You are displaying almost 48,000 lines of dialog straight from the ROM instead of for the MMO. Not sure why you've chosen to actively ignore what @realmadrid1809and I have mentioned to you. Users put way too much faith into OP's, because they just assume they know what they're doing / talking about. Link to comment
nurver9 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Your primary flags are also incorrect and this WILL cause issues with GEC. Link to comment

Your post is better detailed, will have to give a better read to see what everything means on the .xml file Link to comment
