Tutorial:Modding Strings

Strings in PMDO are stored in files specifically for them, with the .resx extension. Although strings may be literally defined in scripting files, they are best to be globally stored for the sake of enabling translations.

File location

Strings for the entire game are stored in the following two files:

• strings.resx: Contains hardcoded text for the base game
• stringsEx.resx: Contains text for developer-made content such as battle messages for move effects

Individual ground files have their own strings.resx file.

Modifying Strings

Strings may be edited using the game's dev mode. Any new string files in a mod will be added to the strings found originally in the game, for comparability's sake.
