[4/21/2014 3:03:38 PM] Zeak: I been working on your pokemon shoddy , but i can't figure out the species.db sence isn't really a database file
[4/21/2014 3:04:08 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: i think it contains some serialised Java object
[4/21/2014 3:04:14 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: you can check the source for details
[4/21/2014 3:04:51 PM] Zeak: i checked the source but no clue what im looking for. it looks like it used to be a xml file of species
[4/21/2014 3:05:08 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: the xml stuff is pokemon lab / shoddy battle 2
[4/21/2014 3:05:13 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: species.db is a shoddy battle 1 thing
[4/21/2014 3:05:53 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: this is the format of java object serialisation

[4/21/2014 3:06:10 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: however, the easiest way to modify the database in shoddy battle 1 is with a mod file
[4/21/2014 3:06:20 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: i think thats what most people used back in the day
[4/21/2014 3:07:24 PM] Zeak: mod file ?
see im working on adding pokemon on Pokemon MMO which uses the Shoddy Battle system
[4/21/2014 3:08:32 PM] Zeak: this is the file im trying to edit

[4/21/2014 3:08:49 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: i know what you meant, and i've told you what it is
[4/21/2014 3:09:07 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: the usual way people added new species was with a mod file
[4/21/2014 3:09:28 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: it's a feature where you can specify a plaintext file that alters the database
[4/21/2014 3:10:20 PM] Cathy Fitzpatrick: i haven't looked at exactly how you are using the engine to be able to advise how you could use that
So what do you guys think ?
