Administrators Amethyst Posted November 12, 2013 Administrators Share Posted November 12, 2013 In this first step, we're going to be adding the 6th gen abilities to the data files for the game. There are two things of importance here: First, we have to follow the specific format of the file, which I'll post about below. Secondly, we need to determine if the in-game descriptions of each ability have changed in XY. Whenever possible, I would ask people to refer to their own copies of X and Y for this, however here are some reference links for this leg of the project: Old abilities that have been updated (check the descriptions against the current files): http://www.serebii.net/xy/updatedabilities.shtml New abilities and their descriptions: http://www.serebii.net/xy/abilities.shtml This page describes the format that our data file uses: http://pokemonessentials.wikia.com/wiki/Defining_an_ability We will pick off at ID number 165, after Teravolt. Also, since the true ID order of the new abilities is presently unknown or unlisted, as far as I can find, let's just go with the alphabetical order as listed on Serebii. So, the next entry looks like: 165,AERILATE,Aerilate,"Normal-type moves become Flying-type moves." And so on. I've added Aerilate to the file already. The link is below. It may also be helpful to post when you make progress on the file, and also if you find any other abilities whose in-game descriptions have changed.

Gyaradoskiller Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I think Bulbapedia has the ID numbers. They have IDs, Hex numbers, etc. for a load of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Amethyst Posted November 13, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted November 13, 2013 They don't really matter, we'll just put them in alphabetical order like I said before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
