Editing Wild Encounters
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
porymap provides a tab for editing the wild pokemon encounter JSON data.
|
|
Navigate to the "Wild Pokemon" tab in porymap's main window.
|
|
|
|
If you open the tab and there are no wild encounters for the current map, you
|
|
will see an empty screen (pictured below). Adding wild pokemon data is as
|
|
simple as :ref:`adding new encounter groups <add-encounter-groups>`.

Otherwise, you should see something similar to this:

|
|
|
|
The tab for each field is active or disabled based on the encounter data for a
|
|
given map. If a tab is disabled, you can activate it, and therefore activate
|
|
a new encounter field for the map. To activate a field, right-click on the
|
|
tab name for the field you want to add.

Editing the wild encounters is otherwise pretty straightforward. You can
|
|
adjust the minimum and maximum levels, the encounter rate, and species with the
|
|
ui.

Adding New Encounter Groups
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
An encounter group is just another set of wild encounters that are available
|
|
for a single map. In the vanilla games, only Altering Cave uses multiple
|
|
encounter groups, but there are several reasons you might want them.
|
|
|
|
In order to create a new encounter group, click the green (+) button next to
|
|
the Group drop-down. It will bring up this menu:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/editing-wild-encounters/new-group-window.png
|
|
:alt: New Encounter Group Window
|
|
|
|
New Encounter Group Window
|
|
|
|
You can give your new encounter group a name (this must be uniqe, which is
|
|
enforced), and you can choose which fields to activate for the group. Checking
|
|
the "copy from current group" box will copy not only the active fields but also
|
|
the wild pokemon data for each field from the currently displayed group.
|
|
|
|
One possible use for having multiple encounter groups for a single map is to
|
|
implement time of day encounters.

Configuring the Wild Encounter Fields
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
An encounter field describes a group of wild encounters. This includes the name
|
|
of the field, a default number of pokemon in that field, and the encounter
|
|
ratio for each index in that field. These are all things you may want to
|
|
change. Click on the *Configure JSON...* button to bring up this window:
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/editing-wild-encounters/configure-json.png
|
|
:alt: Configure JSON Window

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
The Field drop-down will allow you select which field you want to manipulate.
|
|
You can add a new one with the *Add New Field...* button. The green (+) and
|
|
red (-) buttons add and take away encounter slots for the field. For each slot
|
|
you will see an adjustible number. This represents the encounter chance for a
|
|
pokemon at this index out of the total.
|
|
|
|
Let's add a ``headbutt_mons`` field to our wild encounters...
|
|
|
|
First, we'll add a new field and name it ``headbutt_mons``.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/editing-wild-encounters/configure-json-new-field.png
|
|
:alt: New Field Name
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
Then, we want four slots in this field, and we set encounter ratios for each
|
|
slot.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: images/editing-wild-encounters/headbutt-mon-field.png
|
|
|
|
If we accept the changes, we can now assign pokemon to each slots, and adjust
|
|
the levels.
|
|
|

|

|
Changes made to the wild encounters are not saved to disk until you save the map.
