Doubles Password Effectiveness and Mods Question (Seperate)

[Charon]

Two questions, first, how good is the new 19.5 Doubles password? Does it actually change team lineups and whatnot to optimize for double battles, or is it just the usual singles teams but sending out two Pokemon?

 

Second question, regarding mods. I know to modify Scripts now we're supposed to put modified duplicate files and whatnot in the Mods folder, but how does that work when I'm altering or adding just a few things for montext and/or movetext? Do I need to have the entire contents copied over with the alterations/additions made, or can I just have the file named the same with only the alterations/additions included and have all the stuff I didn't touch left unaffected?

No team changes.

This is not correct. You just need to override the functions you want to change. They don't need to be in a file with same name either.

Those need to be modified directly, doesn't work through the patch/Mods directory.

Mildly disappointing, but only in that I think most were built with singles in mind. Guess I'll just have to try myself to see if the challenge is changed/upped with the password since it seems like a good way to change things up and prevent stagnation for a 3rd runthrough.

Huh, seems I misread the readme then. Just went back and checked and yeah, it talks about adding extra scripts. Guess I'll just be making the base script changes like I was before.
