Symbols

Revision as of 18:02, 7 September 2025 by SergeyThePiplup (talk | contribs) (How to use)

Symbols is a list of some internal values, hardcoded in the arm9 or game overlays. Here, you can edit a lot of settings, such as how often bad poison damages the player, how much damage each bad poison tick deals, belly drain per turn(including the drain inside a wall), burn damage and its cooldown, secondary effect chances and others. Warning! Inaccurate changes may break the game! Edit the values only if you know what you're doing!

How to use

First, go to Symbols page, read the warning, then press Proceed. Next, select what binary file you want to edit(or leave it at "All binaries" if you need to edit values in different binaries). Then, search for a symbol you want to change, double click it and put a new value in. Which value can be accepted can be seen by looking at the Type and Description.

Restrictions

Some symbols should not be changed to values higher than it is. For example, you cannot have a bag having more than 48 items. The reason for that is because editing symbols like this would require to also change the save system, which is not possible in SkyTemple.
