Mod to make all moves weaker?

[keen robin]

Anyone know of a mod or way to lower the power of all moves in the game? Like a good 50% would be fine! I just want battles to last longer. Maybe if it would be easier, a way to lower the power of super effective moves?

Or even just give every pokemon tons of defense and sp defense lol

[crisp mauve]

Yeah I mean you could script that

Essentially you'd iterate through every move and take their power and say power = power/2

[keen robin]

Any tips on how to go about it? What tools to use?

[thorny shale]

Unpacker + python or you could just do it all manually with [IO]

Team Lumi

Imposter's Ordeal

Imposter's Ordeal is a BDSP randomizer that also allows you to edit a vast array of game functions. Requires a romfs/exefs extraction of 1.3.0 (BD if you're going to add Lumi, though SP works if you're just messing with vanilla). From there, click "add mod" to load the Luminescent romfs/exefs folders. Once you're finished editing, put the resultant "output" files into the space of your Luminescent mod.

Imposter's Ordeal allows you to change move attributes (types, additional effects, accuracy, etc), shop lists, route encounters, and Pokémon statistics such as their typing, BST, and wild held items.

The randomizer function is only compatible with versions 2.0.4+. Here is our guide on how to do it.

Always download the latest version from the releases page. Requires .NET 5.0.

I tried imposter's ordeal, but extracting the game stuff didn't seem to work. I extracted both the things the guide told me to, but it kept saying it wasn't the file with the eff in it or whatever it wanted lol

[thorny shale]

You mean dumping the romfs??

[keen robin]

Yeah, I dumped them both then it asked for the romf thingie, and I sent it to the file it made, but it says it's not in there.

Did you check the Data folder?

Because you need to create your own "romfs" folder and put the contents of that "Data" folder into the newly created "romfs" folder

A little blurb from one of the other devs on this

hey there, seems to be a common confusion when dumping the base game for Imposter's Ordeals to first Load
to clarify the steps:

when you right click the game in Ryujinx and click "extract the contents of the romfs"
it will create a folder called "Data" for you
this is because, that "Data" folder is the content and what is usually inside of the "romfs" folder
So, create a folder called "romfs" and then put the "Data" folder inside it
Ta-da! you've now setup the romfs folder

Now, when Imposter's Ordeals asks you "where can i find your romfs folder"
You want to give it the folder that has the romfs folder inside it
if you put the romfs folder you made on the desktop, then give it your desktop folder as an example, and this will work fine

However its nice to have things separate, if you don't want IO to attempt to load everything on your desktop, simply make another folder called "Game Dump" or something and put the romfs by itself in there, then show IO that folder you made, this will also work

Apologies for any confusion of terms, you're dealing with a couple separate Programs that have different Ideas of what things are

[keen robin]

Oh that makes so much more sense! How silly of me, hahaha now I got lots of moves to edit :D thanks a ton!

Hmm I wonder what the compatibility with Lumi will be with the mod I make. Oh well, question for when I get there.

[thorny shale]

If you add Lumi as a mod before you change everything it should be fine.

[keen robin]

Add Lumi as a mod? You mean put it first in my mod folder?

OH

[thorny shale]

Press the "Add Mod" button in IO

[keen robin]

I SEE AN ADD MOD BUTTON

[keen robin]

Okay I edited every single move in the game, now I just take the output folder and um... Install it as a mod? It's saying to install as I would Lumi, but I'm a bit confused. Do I replace Lumi's exefs and romfs?

[thorny shale]

You replace Lumi's romfs folder with the output from IO

[keen robin]

Thats what I figured, sorry I fell asleep lol

[keen robin]

Wait, what about the exefs?

Hahaha coooool it works! I'll see about packing it into a mod for others to use after I tweak a few things.

I might just make an all in one "make battles last longer" mod lol

Tweak defenses and such.
