How to Add Battles

Original guide by @kirasnuggets on discord, rewritten by @n123original. This guide assumes you already know how to navigate romfs and use CfgBin Editor. If not, please read the starting guide. Additionally, this guide does not explain how to modify extra features such as audio, battle rules, and how to add bosses.

• First, extract and open common_enc*.cfg.bin, from data/res/battle.
  • The * refers to versioning, so instead of just common_enc.cfg.bin you might also see common_enc_0.03a.cfg.bin. Pick the one with the highest version.
• Next, duplicate an ENCOUNT_TABLE_* entry.
• Then increment (increase by 1) the ChildCount of the ENCOUNT_TABLE tree that contains the entries.
• Next, do the same for ENCOUNT_CHARA for every Yo-kai you want in the battle (1-6 Yo-kai, most encounters only have 3 or less).
  • For each entry, make sure to configure their ParamID and Levels, to match whatever you want.
• Next, go back to the ENCOUNT_TABLE_* entry you created (will be the last one in the tree), and change the EncountID.
• Finally, in your entry modify your EncountCharaOffset* entries.
  • For instance, if you want the 1st Yo-kai to be ENCOUNT_CHARA_123 set EncountCharaOffset1 to 123.
  • If you don’t want to place any Yo-kai in a specified slot, set the corresponding offset to -1.
