SWM modular modpack [E19.5] (beta)

[Waynolt]

PLEASE MAKE A POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THESE MODS.
I check on discord about once a year, more or less; hence, your best chance to get help from me is to come here, in the forum.
(In case you're wondering, SWM stands for "Select Weather Mod": this was its name before it became a modpack, and when it came the time to rename it... I actually didn't )
(Btw I'm not crazy nor that original... it's somewhat of a citation, as this is literally how Trumpkin got his nickname)

This modpack is for Pokemon Reborn; if you're looking for a Rejuvenation-compatible version, you can find it here:

http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33807-rejuvenation-modular-modpack-v11-patch-3/

 

You can also find this modpack's files versioned on GitHub:

FAQ

"Why is there no longer the mod XXX?"

> It's a password in the base game now.

 

"I can't find it in the passwords"
> Look better; I've decided to not port a couple of mods, but 90% of the missing ones are in the base game now.

 

Installation

Download link: (v90 - updated 25/11/2024)

https://github.com/Waynolt/SWM-modular-modpack/releases/latest/download/SWM_modular_modpack_E19.zip

 

The link above will allow you to download a .zip archive.

Inside of that archive you will find a "Readme.pdf" explanatory file and a "Mods" folder.

 

To install, just drop the folder "Mods" into the folder "[Pokemon Reborn]\patch\"

(At the end you should have a "[Pokemon Reborn]\patch\Mods" folder with a bunch of files inside.)
This video from Lostelle explains it, showing each step required (it's a bit outdated - for example the location changed - but it's still good): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hc3Mo432C0

 

If playing on a Mac with Wineskin, then, as @Tacos suggests in this thread, do all the modding in a Reborn folder outside of the wrapper and then make a new wrapper with that folder (I have absolutely no idea whether this still applies though)
 

Every component is stand-alone, and can be used on its own; please refer to the "brief summary" below for more info on each one.

 

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Brief summary of each mod component

 

(Please remember to check and delete the components you do not want when you are installing this mod pack!)

 

Spoiler

• "SWM - AutoDex": this mod automatically updates your Pokedex by marking all species and forms in an evolutionary line as seen and captured whenever you catch a new Pokemon.

The evolutionary line of event Pokemon will be updated after the next battle.
Notifications for added entries can be enabled by editing the "SWM - AutoDex.rb" file and setting the global variable "$swm_autoDex_showNotification" at the start to true.

• "SWM - ChooseStarter": while you are in the starter selection room, you can select your starter (as if you wanted to give it an item) and use the "Change starter" option to randomize or choose its species.

• "SWM - EvOverflow": if your mon's EV in any stat would go over 252, without breaking the 510 overall limit, then you are offered the choice to improve its IV, at the cost of resetting that EV.
If instead you use friendship berries at 0 EV you are offered the choice to reduce the IV.

Use the password "noevcap" to disable EVs being lowered to make room for new gains when reaching the 510 overall limit.

• "SWM - ItemRadar" changes the ItemFinder so that, when activated, it stays on and marks hidden items on the game map.

To use them, download the .png image attached to the linked post and use it to replace the mod's default "SWM - ItemRadar.png" file)

 

• "SWM - LearnEggMoves" lets the move relearner teach any egg move.

 

• "SWM - MiningForRich": while mining the wall won't collapse, but mining further costs cumulatively more and more money (spent on materials to build a tunnel, of course ).

• "SWM - NoTMXAnimations" hides the TM animations for using Cut, Strength, etc, out of battle.

 

• "SWM - PredictRelationshipValues" makes the move Psychic usable out of combat, and using it lets you know each npc's relationship value.

 

• "SWM - ReusablePremierBalls": Premier Balls in the vanilla game are kind of boring - they're just normal balls, which makes them just a small discount for buying balls in bulk.
With this mod they become reusable - using them on a wild mon won't actually decrease their number in your bag.
They also act like a decentralized unit: their catch rate is a lot lower than their normal catch rate, but scales linearly with how many you have, with no cap.
(Their catch rate with the mod becomes the same as the vanilla one when you have 50 of them in your bag)

• "SWM - SharedPC" makes the last box in the PC shared amongst savegames: mons you put in it will be there if you start a new game or load a different savegame.

 

• "SWM - SnappyMenus" makes menu transitions instantaneous.

 

• "SWM - TypeBattleAnnouncer" causes the announcer to say the species and typing of opponent mons about to enter the field instead of their names.

 

• "SWM - TypeBattleIcons" shows each pokemon's type in battle.

Thank you so much! I just downloaded it and it seems to work fine, though I only tested it for a few minutes. I've been dreading reverting to Ep. 15 just to change the weather since I've been stuck on heavy rain for more than a month (Can't use Fire types).

For anyone wondering how, the download comes with a 'Scripts' file. Put it in place of the Scripts file in the Pokemon Reborn Data folder, though keep the old one just in case. 

 

Also I'm not sure what you mean by the other things.

Quote

It includes the option to get any starter [...]

I'll pass on getting multiple starters, assuming that's what you mean; Having a Snivy, Torchic, and a Froakie at the start of the game seems a bit OP to me.

Quote

[...] and to use TMXs out of battle by just having the TM and the badge, without actually teaching that move to any pokemon.

Do you mean using, say, Strength outside of battle even if my Pokemon doesn't know it? That would be a real time saver.

 

Thanks again!

Those two extra features are other mods he worked on, but didn't remove the code for.  Unless I'm remembering wrong, the starter part involves  choosing any normal (non-legendary/mythical) Reborn-available Pokemon, but I haven't actually used that mod before (since it only works in the starter room).  That's exactly what the TMX mod does, from what I remember, and is the base mod for it all.

Correct

[BluePaw]

Ah I see. That adds an interesting element to the game, being able to pick any non-legend Pokemon as your starter. I'll have to try it out sometime!

It gives two options, from which you can choose one (or none, if you prefer the normal starters):

>you can have a random starter, which is picked amongst those that the game recognizes as available and unevolved (I didn't write any list, the mod uses script functions that were already in the game to pick a random pokemon)

 

-or-

 

>you can manually select a starter using its pokedex ID; if you choose one that you would not normally be allowed to get in the game (detected using the previously mentioned script function), you'll get a warning.

The warning though will not stop the process: if you really want to go through and play with Arceus as a starter imho that's your business, but you won't be allowed to bring it online.

May I ask how does the Weather mod works. I downloaded it, but I kept the old script data in case I mess something up. I don't know exactly what to do cause I want to use the mod.

Just use the "select weather" option in the added Pokegear app. 

If instead you're asking what it does:
It allows the game to randomize and record the planned weathers for the week like it would normally, then when the game tries to read the plan it goes "you know what, it actually says it should be X weather here", where X is your choice.

In more technical terms: it lets the game define the weather array, but then overwrites its element that the game is trying to access (with a few simple lines put between the "read" and "use" portions of the original script).
When 5 days have passed and the weather week is rerolled, that changed variable is discarded and overwritten by the "normal" script.

Pretty nice, but how did you manage to do this?

As already written, the game plans the weathers for the week in advance, once at the start of every week.

This plan is an array (a list), with each element in it composed by two numbers: an ID for the weather type and a number indicating its strength.
 

This mod simply changes the planned weather for today in the area you're in.

Thank you. Thankyouthankyouthankyou! Since I'm on my very first playthrough, I didn't want to go on until E17 due to the weather being broken in my save. Your mod allows me to go on playing right now. I appreciate it so much, I'd even throw money at you for it, heh. Again, thanks!

So applying this mod won't damage my sav file in future episodes? Just want to get that damn eevee lol.

If E17 will keep the "re-plan every weather each week", it won't do any damage.

Else, the worst that could happen is that you'd have to advance the calendar 1 week before updating (advancing the calendar will reroll the planned weathers and overwrite the change this mod allowed you to make to the planned weathers).

Alright , thank you :).

Does that affect Relationship Points somehow? I'm just checking because I just don't want to do another run for those xD

It's an excellent mod for a fast run and for who can't wait for a whole week to have a different weather, great job!

Does using this mod, carry any risk for corrupting or breaking something, game-related?

 

I am again at a point that i should collect everything before progressing, so i need to get certain weather, in order to catch some pokemon...

There always is a risk in pretty much everything in life.

There is no reason for this to break anything though (that's as far as I know of course: this mod just changes the planned weather for today in the area you are in - and the game plans the week's weathers at the start of every week, so this change always gets overwritten in a week at most unless you messed with the calendar in the wrong way), and I did recently finish a full playthrough without encountering problems with a modded starter and using the weather selection.

Edited February 13, 2017 by Waynolt

[Stauf96]

So I downloaded the mod, and moved the files.  The mod works in the sense that the weather visibly changes, however, the tree that block access to the eevee tunnel remains.  I've tried changing the weather to both forms of windy, entered and exited the house in the forest several times, entered and the exited the actual forest several times, and yet the tree remains.  Am I missing something?

 

Edit:

LOL it also needs to be night.  My bad.

[Candy]

Can I ask how to use the mods?

Do I just leave them in the Reborn folder, or do I have to do something with the Game.ini file?

I'm on mac, and am not super tech savy for these things :/
