PSO Battle Parameter Editor

Using the library

Installing

• The simplest way is to download the .py file and place it in the same directory as the file you wish to use, such as a Jupyter notebook or another .py file
• You can import the file by using import PSO_Battle_Parameter_Editor as pso to import it with alias pso

Loading Data

Data is loaded and manipulated using the Table class. This can be done by by calling the Table constructor which takes two arguments:

1. Battle parameter file location
2. Episode number (1,2,4) An example is: file = pso.Table('BattleParamEntry.dat',episode=1)

Viewing Data

There are 4 main sections to the file:

1. Stats Data
2. Attack Data
3. Resist Data
4. Movement Data

Stats+Resist

To get the most well-documented values in a neat table, there is the get_merged_table method, which takes the following parameters:

1. Difficulty (int): 0 for normal; 1 for hard; 2 for very hard; 3 for ultimate.
2. Verbose (bool, optional): Prints everything while parsing

Sample use: file.get_merged_table(difficulty=0)

Modifying Data

Modifying Stats

set_stat_property(self, value, stat, enemy, difficulty)

Modifying Resist

set_resist_property(self, value, stat, enemy, difficulty)

Finalizing Changes

To avoid potentially ruining game files, there are some safeguards. The relevant method is write which has the following parameters:

1. new_file_name: the file name that the modified data will be exported as. The library will not modify the read-in file unless you choose for this parameter to be the same name.
2. overwrite (optional with default False): if there already exists a file with the chosen name, the method will warn you that a file with that name already exists and not write out the data. If you wish to allow overwriting the file, you can set overwrite=True. Sample use: file.write('test_param.dat')
