are there moving NPCs in Celestial Tower? Because I've encountered multiple natures for the same PID frame, and it's really confusing me @_@ and it's not timer0 because my IV frame has been spot on for both natures...
Wait, starting frames are within 40-60?
Trying to find my starting frame for this seed:
DB62DFF16BD3289B
Date: 04/04/2011
Time: 20:59:42 (while holding Up)
The results I got are:
Hardy Swarm(0) Female (Durant) (No advances)
Modest Sturdy(0 or 1) Female (Boldore) (1 advance)
Rash Hustle(1) Female (Durant) (2 advances)
I can't find my PID starting frame.
1.) I'm 90% sure I hit my seed each time, the first two were consistent. I'll do a couple more trials.
2.) Victory Road, the place with the two staircase, no NPCs.
3.) Nope.
Okay. I am using the Standard Non C gear Method to capture a Wild Special Flawless Deino, with Timid Nature. I am using PPRNG for mac.
I got my seed by setting my parameters based off the IV's of a Durant I caught at a specified time (that I entered into the windows).
I put my Timer0, etc. (BTW they were Timer0: C7F, Vcount: 60, Frame: 6)into the configuration window along with my Mac Address (00-23-CC-BF-8A-5F) and selected my version. I am using White English with a DS Lite.
After selecting my IVs and desired frames, I generated some results. It brought up about 10, with 2 at my desired frame (6). The first was at the frame 6, the seed was 3395A35688AC5F15. I loaded the game at the provided time, and walked 128 steps in Victory Road 1F with 5 Poke's in my party, adavncing the frame by 5. I sweet scented with Syncer in the lead and got a Deino. Upon throwing my 6-9th Ultra Ball (does it matter how many balls you throw?) I caught him and checked his level 38, Careful Nature IVs:
25-27/26-27/14-15/24-25/29-31/11-13.
I am unsure what to do now.
Thank you.
Should I posting in a different thread for help on PPRNG?
You are most likely hitting a different timer0 value (most people have two values - your second will be either be C7E or C80). You can edit your configuration to have those values (adjust min / max appropriately), and then you can use the Adjacents tab in the Seed Inspector to see what you might have hit. It's probably useful to calibrate your DS parameters a few more times so that you know which timer0 you may hit more often.
As for your seed, are you sure you want frame 6 (31/30/31/31/31/11)?
Your question is most probably not specific to PPRNG. Fluctuating timer0 values are a general problem for everyone.
Ahaha. this whole time I was RNGing for a non flawless Deino. Thanks for the catch! :)
And so, in my configuration window, input C7E (Min) and C80 (Max) and then switch to Adjacents, right? (No more calibrating, and lol, is calibrating= finding parameters)? Once I'm in Adjacents, I fill in seconds with the displayed one for my seed or the ACTUAL seconds (when I pressed A on the DS Menu) And do I need to mess with the PID anything?
And once I hit generate in the Adjacent frame, what do I do with the results?
I'm terribly sorry, but I am still forcing myself to learn these terms/theories/methods.
Calibrating = Finding DS parameters
You generally won't have both of those other values I told you, so if you don't do more calibrating, you won't know which you have. That means that you'll find seeds that you won't actually be able to hit.
In Adjacents, seconds is the difference in seconds before and after the seed's time to generate adjacent seeds. For most people, setting it to 1 is fine. For locating your IVs, you don't need to worry about the PID frames.
Note that the Adjacents tab won't work if you just copy/paste the seed value (3395A35688AC5F15) into a Seed Inspector. You would need to either have opened the Seed Inspector by double-clicking on a result row in the Seed Searcher, or manually enter the information such as Date / Time, key presses, etc. and click Calculate Seed in order for it to work. This is not a bug, but rather it is due to the fact that it's not possible to know those values from just the raw seed. Without those values, there's no way to generate adjacents.
Which ability number is mienfoo's regenerator?
Anyone know what method you use to hatch shiny eggs and whether or not the surrounding NPCs near the daycare advance the PID?
