SkyTemple: Difference between revisions

Supported are all valid Nintendo DS ROM files that identify themselves as Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Sky in either the european or american version. The japanese version is not yet supported. You can also open most ROM hacks of said game, unless the author of the hack has implemented measures that prevent SkyTemple from detecting it as a valid ROM of the game.

On the top-right of the application you find various options.

With this tool you can test your game inside a bundled emulator and modify the code of the game's [[Script Scene|Script Scenes]]. While the [[SkyTemple#Script Scenes|Script Scenes section]] in the main UI lets you edit the layout of the scenes (such as NPC placements), the actual [[Script|scripts]] that run these scenes can be edited here. These scenes are used almost everywhere in the game outside of the main menu, dungeons and most of the personality quiz and shop menus. They are used for cutscenes, NPC interaction all player-controlled overworld maps.

When you open a ROM in SkyTemple, the app will create a directory next to the ROM file, it is named the same as the ROM file suffixed with ".skytemple". This directory can safely be deleted and is not needed to play the ROM, ''however'' it contains information that is very useful for editing the game. This includes the source code for all [[Script|scripts]] you edited and macro files. If you delete the directory SkyTemple will decompile scripts again, which leaves them in a rather unreadable state and removes all comments you made.
