Hey, i am new on this web.
I heard something nice about custom own pokemon.
First i want to ask about that, if we remodel animation and texture some pokemon, can we export that pokemon on save file main game (ex:main) ? By the way i am using citra emulator and now i am still playing pokemon ultra sun. Thanks, i hope you can reply me. Big thankss
Remodelling animations? I'm not sure if you can do that; it might cause significant errors. It sounds risky.
As for custom Pokemon, if you're referring to custom Pokemon as in custom stats, moveset and texture, it will appear normally in PKHeX, or whatever you use to edit Pokemon. "Main" doesn't import GARC data (Personal, move etc). It only records your save data. So if you've enabled a custom Pokemon to learn a move it usually wouldn't, it'd appear as illegal. If it had different stats, the stats will still be default.
Basically what I'm getting at is it doesn't import ROM edited data. It'll all be the same as it would be if you exported from a normal game.

but I don't know what the numbers mean, I thought I would be able to download something that contains the models
Decompress the files that you dumped and do it one by one til you find which one has the model.. (i think its the 00406 or 00407 that will have the model)

if you dont have the numbered file than you'll have to decompress the garc file to get it. (cant remember which file it is. can someone shed some light on that?)

If you have an extracted version of Ultra Sun or Moon, go to: \ExtractedRomFS\a\0\9, then there's a file called 4. If you don't have a .CIA or .3DS of USUM, dump it with GM9 or FBI (I think), then extract the file with HackingToolkit3DS. There's many tutorials for it.
Once you've located "4", open pk3DS, and drag the file to the top box. HOLD CTRL WHILE DOING SO, OR OHANA WILL BE UNABLE TO LOAD THE FILE.
You'll see there's over 10k files. For easier finding, use the Search tool and type in the number that the Pokemon is addressed to in the guide.

Theyre in a082(sun)/a083(moon) garc. Every zone in the overworld has its own sets of model. Refer to this list for most of the area bins in a083 https://pastebin.com/ts9QxPRZ

How would you go about changing textures for trainers/NPCs? I have been looking all over for some kind of information on this.

One thing, does anyone know how the pokemon model could be changed? For example, I want to change Lucario and put Goku in. Can I?
Not sure if your triplicated messages were a glitch or not, but if they weren't, please don't spam on my thread, I try to get back to people ASAP.
No, as of now, model modifications are unavailable. The most you can do is overworld AFAIK. You can probably try and make a Goku texture for it, though. :)

I'm currently working on a list for Trainers and NPCs. I only have a folder named 6, which is the GARC, but I don't know the directory. I can send you the folder, and each NPC is a whole file unlike the Pokemon. So all animations, textures etc. are in one.

Hey guys! I am quite new to this entire scence of self-ripping models(if i can spell it like that).
My problems starts while unpacking the Game. I was using the HackingToolkit9DS to extract the games files for Pokemon X. It worked like a charm and created all the expected folders.
But for Pokemon Sun/Moon, it just created the bin files without actually creating the folders. What do i need to do to get those "ExtractedRomFS"-Folder etc? :/

Just .bin files? Did you dump a .CIA or .3DS? Did you use Godmode9 to do so?
I use Godmode9 to dump a .CIA. If you didn't do that and have GM9, try again. If not, could you send me the file you tried to extract?

In gen 6, the pokémon come in groups of eight files instead of nine. Anyone know which ones are what?
the only difference is that the 9th file in SM/USUM is the OW walking/running animation. I believe they're stored differently though so you can't directly swap files.

hi, where do i find the textures and animations of a pokemon? I managed to import Giratina in SPICA from ultra sun as I want to export the model with textures and animations but the rig, textures, animation, lights and camera are missing inside. Where do I find them and how do I import them?

The first file (which you found) of a pokemon is the model file. The 2nd and 3rd files are the regular and shiny textures respectively and can be opened and exported using Ohana3ds. the 5th-8th files are all animations, and can be individually accessed by unpacking the 5th/6th/7th/8th file with pk3ds and putting that into spica. As a note in case you were planning on editing the models or animations and putting them back into the game, that currently doesn't work with S/M/US/UM and the only thing that does is texture editing. I don't really know if getting the rigs is possible? (I don't really do 3d modelling so I could be wrong) Same with lights and camera.

Ooohhhh, now i've got it! Can I say im stupid? XD I didn't understand that in the list the files of a pokemon were a group of files and not just 2 files.
Anyway, my intention was to extract the 3d models with animations to use them on 3d softwares for projects. I perfectly know that there are already existing 3d models of all pokemons, but I need the animations from the game instead of making them from zero.
Thanks for the support MegaKyurem!

  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it
