Thanks for the build, it's weird that the .bin isn't read from a resources folder but works properly from the source though. Anyway that's one less thing for me to look at ^^
It is a bit weird. To clarify, I tried 2 things:
1. In the folder with PSSE.exe I created folder resources and directly into it put the .bin files
2. same as above, but instead of .bin files being directly there, I created a bin folder in it and into that put the .bin files (so resources/bin/*.bin), as it is in the source files
neither of those worked. Tried both with all files extracted from extdata that PSSE uses (except those that can be gotten only from .cia, unless it needs ALL to function) and then with only PokemonLevel.bin
Well, you may be used to it now but I made a stupid mistake. I compared my latest commit to the backup I had from my computer and noticed a whole chunk of code was missing from the commit : PSSE detected the resource files correctly but just failed to use them. Thus why adding them directly to the source worked.
That made me realize how bad it is that PSSE does that resource loading totally silent, so I quickly put together a small button on the main form : if you click on it it'll scan for a resource folder and describe what it found in a small text message. It also refreshes PSSE's database after the scan so you can use it to add/remove resource files to PSSE while running, but it's still a WIP so be careful.
(Btw, if anyone knows how to add hypertext links in a MessageBox form I take it)
Of course I'm not sure if it works since I can't compile it yet, so please @Madridi & @PewnyPL I'd appreciate a lot if you could try and build PSSE from the commit I made today to test it.
I did not include the latest resource files on purpose for this test, but PSSE shouldn't have any trouble reading them when added. I'm going through them right now to see if anything is different.

So, as you probably know my computer is dead right now. I got it back and even with an external keyboard it's not usable since the damage goes all the way to the motherboard : it boots but half the programs installed on it won't launch (some even make it crash) and I can't access any of my folders. I'm not sure if I will be able to retrieve the data from my hard drive at this point.
Anyway, while I should get my money really sonn by now my sister lend me her old PC. The problem is, it's an old EeePC whose 32GB flash storage is so bloated I can't install VS on it (besides, I'm not even sure it would be able to run it). At first I looked at PSSE's code using the notepad (spoiler, it sucks !), but then I found VS code which is lighter.
It's obviously more confortable to code on (though it's still very laggy) but for some reason it won't compile. I've tried almost everything I've thought of to mak it work but I still don't have the slightest clue about why it doesn't like C#.
That's where I am now, I need to either figure out why VS code won't work or find another IDE but that shall wait until tomorow at least. Please continue to bear with me in the meantime.
PS: Between Github, my backups, my old laptop and the backup PC I now have 4 different versions of PSSE's code, all of which with slight differences since I worked on them at different times. Don't worry though, I'll eventually sort everything out !

Compiled it and ran it. It seems to load the files properly now, this is the output when clicking the checkmark button:
It didn't pickup the Pokedex file for some reason though.
As a side note, clicking the checkmark without loading a save first causes an exception

just little off topic, how's the insurance of your laptop? seems youre on the move again, hehe... anyway thanks for the continous support for this application... hope you can support it till the end of the game's life span. :-)

Thanks for testing, the exception occured because I made it refresh PSSE's main window but forgot that the refresh function tries to fill every field with data from a savefile instead of leaving it blank. Typically the kind of thing I need debugging for.
I also investigated the case of messagePokedex_US.bin and it appears PSSE just ignored it completely (didn't search for it or replaced it, PSSE always use the built-in one). Of course I fixed it but while I was at it I also changed half of the code handling it afterwards. It's not perfect but now it rellies less on recognizing strings, which means it'll be easier to allow the use of other languages files and that it should not break for a while (an explanation is in PSSE's code, but basically until they add new mega skils and enough normal skills to fill all placeholders left the file should still be read correctly).
And finally, I also found a way to search pokemons by typing !!!
I must apologize, as it would have been implemented YEARS ago if only had I read the relevant C# documentation, but as I wanted to see it for a long time (and I know I'm not the only one ^^) I'm glad I was finally able to do so.
Could you please test the latest commit once more ? If those issues are fixed, typing works and cheats work too, I will just add the 1.4.19 files and call it a proper release.
(just need to find a small folder icon or something for the new refresh button, if someone has an idea please tell it)
Read the spoiler in my previous post. In short, my laptop is dead and I'm just wainting on my check to buy another (unfortunately smaller) one.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/02o8q68hr66so9m/update2.7z?dl=0 Here is a link to the build. So far I tested the file reading (it detects all files and doesn't throw an exception anymore if no save is loaded), search by typing works fine as well. From cheats I checked the 'holy trinity', All owned skill level 5, All owned level max and Max resources, then also tried Max speedup. Those work correctly.
I checked the other language pokedexes but, well, either it's unimplemented yet, just testing, or it's broken. I put in a french file and it didn't recognize it at all, after that I renamed it to have US at the end instead of FR and it throws an index out of range exception.
Thanks I'll lay an eye on it.
About using another language file, I didn't mean it was possible yet, sorry for misleading you. I was able to replace the worst string recognitions because I noticed the .bin file used Unicode encoding and had the starting point and length of the relevant chunk of data in it's header. I still have to use string recognition to sort skills names and texts because everything is scrambled into 5 "sub-chunks" and so far I didn't find any indication similar to the file's header to do it automatically.
There are precisely 4 strings left in Database.cs ("Opportunist", "Big Wave" and their respective descriptions), if you edit those 4 to match the ones in messagePokedex_FR it should work.
What I meant that I could easily replace those strings with variables and translating skills and their description would be done. I haven't done it yet because :
- Pokemon names : They rely on 2 .txt files right now and I need to change that by figuring how entries in pokemonData are linked to a name in the game's files.
- PSSE's texts : It may be the easiest, but since I hardcoded everything for now it'd be a lot of work to change every single string into some kind of variable read from an internal file.
Aaaaah, alright then. I only really checked it, wasn't planning on using it (not only my language is not in the game, even then I wouldn't use it) just wanted to test everything you mentioned. Either way, all seems fine, seems this could be made into a release.
And here it is, the official 1.4.19 release is now live !
Please tell me if something is wrong, I wanted to try building this but my setup is a bit wonky. Bulk edits seem to be working fine but to be honest I don't really follow the game's actuality so maybe there are missing pokemons I didn't notice ? Anyway, if that's the case that should be easy to fix.
Have fun.

This new build is awesome and worth the wait!
However, the Survival Mode modifier needs tweaked as the amount of Levels was upped from 50 to 60.
Always waiting to see more and glad to see you back in action supercarrotte!

Thanks, I missed it completely !
I was afraid for a bit since I hardcoded a list long ago for PSSE thus didn't remember where it was stored. I was able to find Pokeload.bin back though (#13 on a 1.4.19 dump), and from reading it not only are there 60 stages but the table of encounters changed too ! Basically everything in PSSE regarding Survival Mode right now is garbage...
Here's a quick how-to read that file, so that I don't forget again
, please wait for me to code something so PSSE can use it :As usual :
0x00 = # of entries
0x04 = length of entries
(0x08 & 0xC are beginning and length of file's name)
0x10 = beginning of relevant data
0x14 = length of relevant data
(0x18 & 0x1C are start and length of some kind of hash)
Entries :
0x00 (2.5 bytes) = # of entry (# of corresponding step in survival mode)
0x02 (high bit) - 0x05 (low bit) = min & max possible stage # (12 bits each)
0x05 (high) - 0x07 = ???
0x08 - 0x13 = stages not allowed in previous interval (10 bits each)
Example : 03 00 B0 00 93 40 03 00 15 B4 B0 04 69 F8 21 08 87 48 02 00
0 00 03 = 3rd fight
0 93 00 B = possible stages are between 0x00B (11) & 0x093 (147)
To read last part, separate them in 32-bits groups and translate them into binary. There are 3 10-bits long stage numbers per chunk.
Just believe me when I say excluded stages are #21, 45, 75, 105, 126, 130, 135 & 146.

EDIT : I just commited something that should work, please consider it an alpha version if you try to build it yourself (I messed with a lot of things at once). The release will come once everything is confirmed working, probably alongside next game's version.

I have no idea how any of this works. I have PSSE, but it keeps giving me errors and wont save my changes. I have no idea which version the one i have is. Is there just a direct download link to the latest one? Dont throw the coding language at me, either. I'll have no idea what you're saying.
AYou'll find all pass releases here : https://github.com/supercarotte/PSSE/releases
Just always take the top one and click "psse.exe" to download it. It won't work on Macs since its a .exe.
Now you need to get your save file from your 3ds, for that the easier way is to use luma3ds & Jo's save manager. I'll assume you know to do that for now because I'm on my phone & in my bed, sorry, but tell me if you don't and I'll explain it tomorrow.
Once you have your save file (it's a file named savedata.bin on your SS card), put your console's sd card in your computer and copy the file onto it.
Launch psse and click "Open save data" to open your save file. If psse's greyed icons turn into your Pokemons you can then start using psse.
Check the "my GitHub" link from my signature for instructions on how psse works or hover your mouse over a button to see what it does.
After you have edited all you wanted to, click the "save savedata.bin" button to, well, save it (you can overwrite the old file but you should rather create a new ones and keep the unedited as backup just in case).
Now copy the new save data.bin on your SS card and use the same Homebrew to put it back into your game, again if you don't know how I'll gladly explain tomorrow.
If you get errors while using psse, tell me what happened and, if you can, what the error says please. Also, by curiosity where did you get the version you are using now ?

Not sure what it is I'm missing, granted I haven't even played the game in a while.
The version I had was from a while ago, I wanna see a couple months ago?
Check if you have a "resources" folder in the same directory as PSSE (or click the folder icon in PSSE's top left corner, it will tell you if it detects any such folder) and delete it. Apparently your PSSE thinks Abomasnow cannot have 7 Mega Speedups, so my guess is that you have those resource files left from your previous version telling PSSE pokemon stats from an old version of the game.
I need to make exception handlers though...
Oky, so I have the file off my 3ds again (thank god for back ups of back ups...) but I am also having the issue.
My N3ds isn't hacked. I use Pokemon SMD cart as an entry point. But I'm still getting the resources stuff problem. Any suggestions?
I'm heading to bed (for now) so that I can get some sleep i'm falling asleep at my laptop. Would LOVE if someone could help me out with this, <3

@DDD & @Midgetgirl05 , can you send me your savefiles ? I can't reproduce this error, so make sure you don't have a "resources" folder left in PSSE's directory too.
