How do I interpret this information.  I have assembly editor but it doesn't simplify code into easy to read words like checkobideience like the links do.  That being said I also don't know how to take the links code and compile it/hex edit it without any offsets.  I figure at the least if I have an offset I can relate hex numbers to what the code is saying on my own.  What sort of program are those links meant to be used with because I already have JohtoMap/Pksvu/Goldfinger/Gameboy Assembler Editor.  The closest thing that seems to relate would be using Pksvu to decompile at the move effect table offset, otherwise I don't have anything that would relate those representative words for the actual code.

Ha hey Miksy!

So my question would be what sort of program would I need to look into using for such a thing.  Then it seems a lot of the disassembly stuff is based for crystal not for gold/silver so if I eventually want to get into adding/editing maps such as putting a safari zone back in the game should I get into disassembly or stick with what I've been doing.  Can I switch back and forth between doing disassembly and hex editing?  I'm fine with hex editing honestly, it's not to cumbersome as long as I have references as to where code snippets start for scripts, text(text is slow though), and the like.  I'm willing to learn whatever, already learned this much.

Well I found the offset for move data, now if I want to create a new effect though...

In G/S/C there is not enough empty space in the move data locations to add new moves, there might be like 2 or 3 empty slots but all other 250 slots are taken of the 254.  So no, you have to replace an existing move.  (And remember to account for all the pokemon movesets/tm changes this might cause)

I just attempted to add Night Slash by replacing Conversion. I swapped conversions name for slash everywhere it appeared, changed the animation to be the same as slashes, and changed its power/accuracy etc. to Night Slash's in gen 4, but in game it just appears as glitched nonsense text and crashes the game.

Any ideas what I did wrong? Is there a list of everything I would have to change to successfully replace the move?

Never tried git diff before, but this is what happens when I run it. Do I need to specify a specific area of pokecrystal?

Well, that got quite a bit longer.

Too long for the forum limit, so maybe this will work?

That's quite a lot to look through, though.

Note I also attempted to put Leaf Blade over Conversion 2.

Alright, so after poking around it seems like the BattleCommand05: ; 34631 is critical hits and thus should be used for both leaf blade and night slash? So, instead of having just deleted out dw BattleCommand1f ; 3707f and 359e6 I should have made them correspond with text that mirrored BattleCommand05: ; 34631? Sorry if this is completely off, I had foolishly assumed that by simply deleting every place that conversion was mentioned and replacing it with leaf blade and night slash it would work.

Thanks

The way I changed old moves into new moves was much more straightfoward by manually changing the name and description in a hex code program and then using an attack editor to change the power/acc/effect(assuming effect exists already) into the game.  Then the level up moveset editor could change where the move was learned.

The problem with Leaf Blade's text is this:

-    db "CONVERSION2@"
+    db "LEAF BLADE"

Alright, so now I'm working on move animations.

Night Slash went well and works fine, I combined Nightmare and Slash to get the animation.

Leaf Blade not so much. My goal is to get the leaves to pop up in the air from "Razor Leaf" and start to drift down followed rapidly by the "Cut" animation.

I've tried about 6 different times by messing with what I include and what I don't include without much luck. I'm sure I could get it if I just kept experimenting, but if I could have an explanation of what exactly was wrong that would save a lot of time.
