Started on sorting out used text from the contest block. If a line is removed, tell me WHERE, specifically, it's seen ingame.

Most of them are, but it's a huge block of largely obscure text and so I want proof that a line in fact appears ingame.

Most of it is used- but there's a line referring to moves which raise your condition, and one referring to moves based on your condition; neither of those are used as far as I know.

Combine that with the negative attributes proving that Contests got a ton of shit cut out, and I'm a mite suspicious. So, I'd like to comb over this block very carefully.

Pretty sure about the fonts, and I'm absolutely certain the sound test is unused.

(...now I'm wondering if there's code...)

I've been cataloging the maps- there are a handful of unused ones. Mostly houses. Will screenshot those and the Great Marsh map later.

This isn't nearly finished. I'm just getting started here.

Now, for a question: anyone know how I can go about checking map IDs which are part of the overworld? At 0,0, you wind up in the Mystery Zone. I'm fairly certain all of these maps are used because of just that fact, but it'd still be ideal for this document if I didn't have to manually save on each map and check its ID.

So...

I'm working on documenting Pokémon Diamond's maps, and I've already found a decent number of unused ones in just the 50 or so I've gone through so far.

So, I think it'd be a good idea to work on a subpage layout- there are easily as many unused maps as in Gold and Silver, though most are less dramatic- just houses and the like, even unused floors of existing houses.

How should I handle the work on the layout? Don't want to take up the entire sandbox with it- would it be Sandbox/whatever (as a subpage of Sandbox) or do I create it in the intended destination and not "open" the page until it's finished, or what?

Oh, no- manually entering each map isn't the problem. It's annoying, yeah, but that's all.

Problem is dealing with the Mystery Zone maps- namely, the fact that the way the overworld is handled makes EVERY overworld map Mystery Zone, if you're at 0,0.

ex: I've confirmed the Pokémon League/Victory Road map's ID manually, but overworld maps use a global coordinate system for synchronizing positions with the Underground. So, if you enter the map at 0,0 you get no usable information on it. It's impossible to tell that way if a map is actually empty or an overworld area. Or, for that matter, an unused area on the overworld grid- THAT is something which I have no idea how to identify.

Probably, I'll just get a list together and then check the ID of every single overworld area in the game. Fun!

I could probably automate the movement between areas if I looked into it, but I haven't. No clue on any of the internal structures; I've just been changing the map ID in the save and reloading the graphics manually.

More to the point: that bot couldn't identify anything else. There's a TON of unused indoor maps here.

So, pretty sure there's not much room for useful automation, unfortunately.

Yeah, I need to get back on this- haven't done anything here in a couple days.

Not a big MM fan, but if the engine supports teleportation to arbitrary coordinates you could modify the metadata for one instance of a teleport object somewhere in that level to land you inside the room.

Getting a lot of timeouts now. Page-independent.

Anyone else?

I'd like to do a page on that; it has some fairly substantial differences from the final, I understand. But in order to go about this I'd need to be able to get an ISO to comb through. Have gone through the usual channels trying to find one; no luck.

So- before I go buying one off some shady eBay seller to rip myself, does anyone have a copy of the bonus disc and the means to rip it?

I'm assuming that, this being an out-of-print free demo, this thread isn't crossing any boundaries. If it is, feel free to close it; no hard feelings.

Oh, look. Another old scandata list. Stored in exactly the same way the one full of creatures was. This seems to be full of Research and Inventory entries. Including some unused weapons...

Annihilator Bomb
Dark Bomb
Light Bomb

...huh. Those would have been interesting.

They're also on the used list, but everything else on it appears ingame. In the used list, they're included right after the Power Bomb, in the same order as the beams. I have no fucking clue how they would have worked. Both lists associate these with the beams- and the Power Bomb with the Power Beam.

EDIT: Menu once contained an Extras tab like Prime 1. This is where Prime 1 had NES Metroid and the Fusion Suit...

Re: spambots- why not ask for the nth word of a random article to register a user? Not hard to circumvent, but we aren't high-profile enough to get custom bots; these are more likely than not generic MediaWiki ones.

Plausible, but we don't know anything about them.

Only reason the Anni/Light/Dark bombs have any more info is because the structure of the list gave something away. Those were in separate strings; no such luck there.

Once you've extracted them in GC-Tool, you can dump the .paks with mpakdump; mpxviewer kinda-sorta works for Echoes models, but the support is haphazard at best. Strings can be read without any work in a hex editor; they're not compressed until Prime 3.

Able to get videos of these things or the rip out here?

Inactive portal collision coming relatively late isn't surprising; it's actually possible to get stuck behind one in the Dark Torvus Bog in the final.

Pickup tweaks and the Wall Jump wall texture are indeed new to me.

My machine can handle Dolphin well enough- Phenom II 1055T overclocked to 3.6 GHz, 4GB DDR3 1600, and a Radeon HD 5770. Can try to help you figure out where you're lacking?
