Homebrew [WIP]PCHex++ - PCHex with its own gui

[Xenosaiga]

Yes this occurs randomly and actually i have no clue on why it does happen. I am experiencing the same problem with other homebrews.

It was a very normal occurrence while helping test PHbank. Was just letting people know about it so they don't come back and say something about it being broken before they restart their console and try again.

Oh wow I feel stupid now. Admittedly I did that very "another try" before the whole Citra thing since my previous crashes were on 0.1.1 iirc but that just fairly instantly made it crash saying "an error occurred the system will now reboot". Only just I realized that's because what is default on your compileoptions.h. At first I thought it was still crashing now but (obviously) when changing the compileoptions it now works .

Still not sure what caused my original crashes though because there I definitely had the compileoptions set up correctly (heck I even pasted the content of it here a few pages back).

Ohwell... it works and that's what matters ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (TLDR of how I react to 99% of the errors I fix on programs I'm developing )

I don't really know what was causing the crash back then, glad it works now. XD
Please be aware that compiling and using the new-release branch is generally a bad idea because that's where i dump most of the new experimental feature. So it is generally not stable, it should be fine to test it on citra with a debug build, though.

Would it be possible to add a ribbon remover? To trade event pokemon.

OP contains a new 0.1.3 release which fixes the poor sd card access rate. It can now show 700+ files in no more than a second, it should even fix the occasional ability editing failure experienced by @twhprox

I apologize for all this weekly hotfix patches, 0.1 release has been a big one so a lot of bugs were to be expected. Thanks for all the reports!

Sorry for the lateness, I was traveling and could not check the site. Unfortunately the error persists. Here are the images.

Spoiler: IMAGES

And here is the link to the save https://www.mediafire.com/?c62vc65pj70pzgp .
Thank you.

Ability numbers are stored as follows:
1 - ability 0
2 - ability 1
4 - Hidden

To set the ability number from a 012 based scheme, left shift by 1 instead of adding one. pchex++ does setAbilityNum(ability+1), but it should do setAbilityNum(ability<<1).

PKHeX loads abilities based off of the ability number, not the ability ID. To load it right shifts the value by 1. Since this Gligar is hidden (index 2), pchex assigns it 3. When read, it comes back as 1 instead of 2.

AbilityNumber is based off individual bitflags, not an index number. Since there's only 3 bits used, a single bit shift is sufficient.

@Kaphotics teaches me that reading the source code of things that already work is always better than doing things based on how you think it should work! XD Thanks a lot!

[EDIT]I mindlessly read the documentation on Project Pokemon which lists the the ability ID at 0x15 and i automatically assumed it was a plain byte, not a flag. My bad.

Thank you very much. Both you for the time to look into my bug and slashcash for using his time to develop this amazing tool.

First of all, FUCKING EXCELLENT WORK! I do have a question, as the first post is a little confusing to me:

An automatic backup of your save is placed in /pk/PCHex++/backup

• It is recommended to do a backup of your save file everytime you use PCHex++

Was the post just not edited like it should have been, or is it suggesting I do a manual backup in addition to the automatic backups PKHeX++ does?

Also, are any changes that I make done and saved right away, or is there a way I can go nuts and just change my mind in the end and choose to leave everything alone? Again, great work. Much appreciated!

An automatic backup is done at every startup of the program. Of course if your savefile is particularly precious another backup done with an external tool can't hurt.

When you edit a pokemon every modification is done in a temporary copy of the savefile. The changes are committed to the actual save only when you press A. As a last resort if you have committed the save but changed your mind you can always restore the automatic backup.

That makes sense, thanks!

Why aren't all the Pokemon in my box showing up on this?

Each screen full only shows 15 at a time out of the 30 your box can hold. Move your selector down and when you reach the bottom row more will appear.

Is there a way for the dev(s) to post what's currently being worked on so we can track development more closely? So glad I returned my PowerSaves last year :>

You can visit the project history's on its github page. In particular this page shows the progress. I generally manage to push two or three updates a week, of course most of them are bugfixing that the users won't ever notice but new features are added with a regular basis

If you are not familiar with github don't be surprised if the log is in the present tense as this is how github works

Yeah, I figured GitHub was used to track some of this stuff. I've always found it difficult to navigate. That page is great! Didn't see it while I was looking around earlier, but that's probably because, again, I find GitHub's navigation less than ideal for me. That page doesn't cover what's currently being worked on (just stuff that's been committed), but it's still a way to track progress.

PLEASE add support for the VC original games haha.If thats possible. Im sure there are a lot of us who would be grateful if this is possible

You can dump the savefile and edit it on your computer with PikaSav

Yeah....slight problem there. I only have a Macbook,I use Chex put when it comes to injecting the save file after editing,nothing has changed....

An app for it (even if its an original game one) would be really helpful

Mmmm why would you inject the save file with PChex lol
I've only used savedatafiler to dump and inject them, but svdt with a proper .xml for the 9.6 encryption should work:
