Tutorial:Generating the Guide

PMDO has the ability to generate guide docs on some of its information. The included information in the guide is a list of all abilities, all moves, all items, and a list with Pokémon encounter data.

Generating the Guide

First, open a terminal in the folder where PMDO's executable can be found. On windows, this can be done by right clicking and selecting "Open Terminal".

Type into the terminal ./PMDO.exe -guide. This will begin the process of compiling all of the docs.

The docs will take a lot of time to compile for the last step, the encounters guide - there's lots of data to generate, so this is normal. Keep the terminal open while waiting for the step to complete.

Once done, the process will stop and all the docs will be generated.

Viewing the Guide

The PMDO guide is in the form of HTML files. Open any of the files to see the guide. By default on most systems, a tab of an internet browser will open to read them.

The guide takes the form of a table of different entries. Each page of the guide can be navigated to by clicking on its page name under the title of the current page.

The best way to find relevant entries is by using the web browser's search feature (accessible by control + f on windows). Items are sorted alphabetically, moves and abilities are sorted by their index, and encounters are sorted by national dex number.
