Upcoming Features

Settings Window

Edit some settings so you feel comfortable scripting in the way you want

• "Assembly" syntax vs "Function" syntax
  • Assembly is the current syntax (something like "_LDVAL var_94 6.0") and Function would be in the style of ev-as (something like "_LDVAL(var_94, 6.0)").
• "Typed" prefixes vs "Symbol" prefixes
  • Typed is the current prefixes (var_, flag_, sys_) and Symbol would be in the style of ev-as (@, #, $).
• Use quotation marks for labels
  • No quotation marks is the current syntax.

Multiple script editor tabs

Edit multiple scripts and/or script files at once, without worrying about having to save every time you want to switch between all of them

Requirements

To start editing game files, you will first need to obtain them. You can use Ryujinx or yuzu to extract the game data, specifically the RomFS. You can also use any other tool that extracts the game files from your legally acquired ROM (hactool, etc.).

Ryujinx

Simply right-click the ROM in your ROM list, then select Extract Data, then RomFS.

yuzu

Simply right-click the ROM in your ROM list, then select Dump RomFS, then Dump RomFS.

Do note that yuzu does not create the "Data" folder between "romfs" and "StreamingAssets" and you will need to create it yourself before loading the files in the editor.

In all cases, the files will be found where your emulator dumped the files. The editor expects the folder structure "<directory>/Data/StreamingAssets/...". Make sure to replicate it properly before loading it. After the changes have been exported, only use the edited files and follow the many tutorials online for modding your Nintendo Switch games. Make sure that the folder structure is correct (Data/StreamingAssets/...).

Currently, as of the latest version, the editor edits the following files:

• "/Data/StreamingAssets/AssetAssistant/Dpr/ev_script" There is currently no need for other files, but the editor will still require the correct RomFS folder structure.

Bugs

If you find any bugs please let me know! You can use the issues tab of the repository.
