Data Mapping

Data Mapping

Where edits go and what files are involved.

Project layout (expected)

armips/data: mondata.s, levelupdata.s, evodata.s, eggmoves.s,
             tmlearnset.txt, tutordata.txt, encounters.s, headbutt.s,
             trainers/trainers.s
armips/asm/custom: mart_items.s (optional)
data: BaseExperienceTable.c, HiddenAbilityTable.c, itemdata/itemdata.c
include: config.h, constants/{species.h,moves.h,abilities.h,item.h,trainerclass.h}, battle.h

Species

• mondata.s: stats, types, items, gender, eggs, friendship, growth, abilities, run chance, dex fields
• BaseExperienceTable.c: base EXP (preferred)
• HiddenAbilityTable.c: hidden abilities
• levelupdata.s, evodata.s, eggmoves.s: learnsets/evolutions (read‑only UI; Preview/Save supported)
• tmlearnset.txt: TM/HM compatibility
• tutordata.txt: tutor moves and costs

Moves

• moves.s: core move data (name/desc, split, type, power/acc/PP/priority, effect, target, flags)
• Constants: include/constants/moves.h; effects: asm/include/move_effects.inc; macros: armips/include/movemacros.s

Trainers

• trainers/trainers.s: trainer headers and party blocks (see example in Trainer Editing)

Encounters

• encounters.s: grass/water/fishing per area; labels and names parsed from comments
• headbutt.s: headbutt encounters (planned UI support)

Items

• itemdata/itemdata.c: .price = N
• asm/custom/mart_items.s: per‑shop .org blocks and General Poké Mart table

Config

• include/config.h: feature toggles (e.g., Fairy Type, Level Cap)

Constants

• Types: include/battle.h
• Species, Moves, Abilities, Items, Trainer classes: include/constants/*.h
• Growth rates and AI flags: armips/include/constants.s

Validation and safety

• Preview shows exact diffs; backups (.bak) created before writes
• Editor validates required files and common ranges (e.g., stats 0–255)
