Waynolt 167 Posted January 31, 2017 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/ Also, some of the components in the modpack have additional settings that can be managed with this:http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/40480-aironfaars-mod-box-e181updated-2018-08-23/ Installation Download link: (v66 - updated 20/06/2020) https://drive.google.com/open?id=19fajG-Cdt3q2nLipkvcI8UvN6-X3vxRX 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]\Data\" (At the end you should have a "[Pokemon Reborn]\Data\Mods" folder with a bunch of files inside.) This video from Lostelle explains it, showing each step required: 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 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 - AAA": this component is a trap, and its purpose is to crash the game. It only exists to force people to read this section. (Please read below anyway... many of these mods change the gameplay, and you should at least know about what you have installed.) • "SWM - BagSortByType" adds a "sort by type" option when sorting the bag; alphabetical sorting is still available. (Thanks to @DreamblitzX for the help!) • "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. • "SWM - ExpShareFullTeam": if you have at least 1 ExpShare in your bag and noone in the team is holding one, then everybody in the team will share the battle exp (total exp gained is unchanged: instead of 1 mon getting 60 exp from the battle, you will have 6 mons getting 10 exp each); only the mons who actually fought get Evs. If you do not have an ExpShare in your bag (i.e. you haven't found it yet, or you gave it to one of the mons in the PC) or if one of the mons in your team is holding it, then it will behave as it does in the unmodded game. • "SWM - FindInPC" lets you use the box options to find items, eggs, or mons in the PC. (Leave the search field empty to find anything.) • "SWM - InfiniteBackups" prevents the game from deleting the oldest backup saves. • "SWM - ItemRadar" changes the ItemFinder so that, when activated, it stays on and marks hidden items on the game map. (Alternative graphics by @Player_Null_Name : http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24930-swm-modular-modpack-e18/&do=findComment&comment=808102 Alternative graphics by @Xander : https://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24930-swm-modular-modpack-e18/&do=findComment&comment=835844 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 - ItemsBan" forbids item usage in battle. • "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 - Mouse" simply enables the mouse in-game. (Eh, I've always wanted to use "simply" to describe something this big ) (Thanks to @DreamblitzX for the help!) • "SWM - MultiSelectPC" lets you move a group of mons in the PC: hold [CTRL] when choosing "Move" to mark (or unmark) the mons you want to move, then select an empty space to move them all or clear the selection. (Alternative graphics by @Player_Null_Name : http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24930-swm-modular-modpack-e18/&do=findComment&comment=813369 To use them, download the .png image attached to the linked post and use it to replace the mod's default "SWM - MultiSelectPC.png" file) • "SWM – NoHpAnimation" hides the HP gauge animations during battle. • "SWM - NoTMXAnimations" hides the TM animations for using Cut, Strength, etc, out of battle. • "SWM - NoTMXNeeded" makes it no longer necessary to teach TM moves (Cut, Strength, Fly, etc) to your mons; just having the badge and the machine is enough to use them out of combat. • "SWM - PickupQoL" alters the ability PickUp: items picked up are put directly in your bag, and you are sent a message stating who picked what up. • "SWM - PredictRelationshipValues" makes the move Psychic usable out of combat, and using it lets you know each npc's relationship value. • "SWM - SetWeather" adds new options in the Pokegear. "Select Weather" allows you to directly choose the weather for today in the area you are in. "Reroll weather week" resets the internal weather calendar of the game; useful if you got it stuck by messing with the system date. • "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 - ShowStatBoosts" shows each pokemon's stat stages in battle. (Alternative graphics by @Player_Null_Name : http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/24930-swm-modular-modpack-e18/&do=findComment&comment=805921To use them, download the .png image attached to the linked post and use it to replace the mod's default "SWM - ShowStatBoosts.png" file) • "SWM - TypeBattleIcons" shows each pokemon's type in battle. • "SWM - UnrealClock" shows the current in-game time. • "SWM - UnrealTime" changes the game time from real time to simulated time, so that if you only play in the evening you can still get to see morning events too. (Please note: using it with SetWeather allows you to change the time, but it also resets the calendar - which in turn affects things like the lottery) • "SWM - WildEncounterRates": if the party leader is holding a Smoke Ball or has the ability Run Away and there are mons in the area that you haven't caught yet, then you're guaranteed to encounter one of those. -------------------------------------------------- Compatibility with other mods Last version of SWM (v59) to be compatible with mods based on Reborn Episode 18.1:https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iuvk4uLSRV4VEMF0Gp5wdv9d5MmlZ-ez Known incompatible mods: Spoiler • None yet. • The Follower Pokemon mod used to require a compatibility patch in E17, but in E18 it may no longer be the case. • The Sandbox Mode mod used to require a compatibility patch too in E17, but in E18 it is fully compatible. • Redux at the moment is both compatible and incompatible: SWM mods will run in Redux, but some of them will cause either Redux or themselves (or both) to bug out. • Memeborn and Memeforms should be compatible, but with big mods it's hard to say for sure without extensive testing (sadly I'm not enough of a masochist to install a difficulty increaser on an already difficult game). • PR Mod Menu is not compatible. • Cool Funky Mode is probably not compatible. Already compatible, no patch needed: Spoiler • Any mod that doesn't add files to the Mods folder. • Any mod that doesn't change the Scripts.rxdata file. • The E18 version of the Sandbox Mode is fully compatible. • Aironfaar's Mod Box should be fully compatible (some of those mods were even specifically designed to work with SWM). • Redux at the moment is both compatible and incompatible: SWM mods will run in Redux, but some of them will cause either Redux or themselves (or both) to bug out. • Memeborn and Memeforms should be compatible, but with big mods it's hard to say for sure without extensive testing (sadly I'm not enough of a masochist to install a difficulty increaser on an already difficult game). • Pyrolusitium Z is compatible, but you have to follow its install instructions. • Alternate Form Pack is fully compatible. • The Sage of Reborn is fully compatible.

BluePaw 0 Posted February 1, 2017 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BluePaw 0 Posted February 1, 2017 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! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

0ddman 5 Posted February 3, 2017 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. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

arieltonc 0 Posted February 4, 2017 Pretty nice, but how did you manage to do this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Waynolt 167 Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) 47 minutes ago, arieltonc said: 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. Edited February 4, 2017 by Waynolt 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aironfaar 62 Posted February 8, 2017 (edited) 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!

PMDrax 5 Posted February 9, 2017 So applying this mod won't damage my sav file in future episodes? Just want to get that damn eevee lol. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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).

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.

Stauf96 3 Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) 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. Edited February 14, 2017 by Stauf96 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Candy 1622 Posted March 10, 2017 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 :/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
