Modding Abilities?

[Charon]

I'm doing some personal modding for abilities/moves/Pokemon etc. in Rejuv and E19 Reborn, but I'm having trouble finding where I'm supposed to change the actual effects of abilities. The PBS file Abilities.txt is just the text description of abilities instead of the actual data, and I just can't figure out which Script/Data/PBS file would hold those, can anyone tell me?

[Shinrushi]

i want to know as well

 

[Maverillion]

I know that there are some abilities that can be edited in battler and battle. But I've wanted to know how to make custom abilities myself as well.

To make Custom Abilities, you first need to give it a definition in the abiltext.rb file, and an ID in the PBAbilities.rb file - this will create the ability without any effect. To add an effect to ability, you can add it to one of the scripts file. For example, in a Move altering ability, you could add it to PokeBattler_Battler.rb or PokeBattler_Move.rb if you'd like. The Primal Dialga/Palkia mod has a good example, if you'd like to see that. To add it to a Summary display(where you would normally view the pokemon's ability, stats, etc ingame), you would need to edit PokemonSummary.rb. I may be wrong in some of these, but there are many mods that can provide a more clear example than my description. Hopefully, this helps! Good luck with your testing ^_^

Hm, at least for the moment probably gonna stick with modifying Pokemon and modifying/adding moves, since those files look just a bit above my hobby-coding paygrade. Gonna take me quite a while to parse out what I want to do and how to code it, even with the wiki helping me figure things out.

 

EDIT: Because it amuses me, here's the list so far of move modifications/new moves:

 

Triple Kick: BP increased to 20
Arm Thrust: BP increased to 25
Comet Punch: BP increased to 25
Power-up Punch: BP increased to 45
Mega Punch: BP increased to 90
Shadow Punch: BP increased to 75
Wild Charge: BP increased to 100
Razor Wind: Type changed to Flying, BP changed to 95, Accuracy changed to 100, now one-turn
Poison Tail: Power increased to 60
All Elemental Fangs (including Poison Fang): BP increased to 70
Water Shuriken: BP increased to 20

 

##New Moves##

 

Tyrant Fang: Basically just a Dragon-type version of Crunch (signature move of Tyrantrum). "The user clamps down with its’ fangs and savages the target. It may also lower the target's Defense stat."

Alpha Screech: 75 BP Dragon-type, Special Sound move, lowers SpAtk. "The user lets loose a deafening scream, proclaiming their superiority to the world. Also lowers target's Sp. Atk"

Divebomb: Flying, BP 90, acc 95, “The user soars high into the air and swoops down on the enemy at high speeds.”

Shocking Swipe: 80 BP clawing move, basically electric shadow claw. "The user slashes with lightning-infused claws. Critical hits land more easily. May Paralyze target."

Can you provide info on how these changes were done ?

Literally just modifying the PBS files, copying segments from other moves as needed (or just the move outright). I'll just paste the changes/moves themselves since I don't really care who uses them, just change the number at the front for the new moves as needed for whatever game you're adding them to, and be sure to add them somewhere on the movelists of the pokemon you want them to have if you're not using debug to add them.

 

I also added Meteor Blow to actually have a higher-powered physical fire move that doesn't have recoil, Black Fog purely to have a Special Dark-type attack with a BP above 80 that wasn't a signature move, and Liquid Kunai was just to add another Ninja Thing to Greninja's arsenal.

 Thanks for this, I also got it working, and made some of my own.

 

Now going for more advance is there a way to change the default animations of the "new moves" we created ?

 

Like using animations that's already in the game

I have no idea on modifying animations myself. I usually end up playing with them off most of the time, and I haven't really looked into guides for doing so.

i know i am insanely late to this conversation but do you know if something like this is possible within sword and shield using ryujinx? im working on a lot of modding content in those games and being able to make my own custom abilities would make it a thousand times better
