SWM modular modpack [E19] (2024)

PLEASE MAKE A POST IN THIS THREAD IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH ANY OF THESE MODS.
I check on discord about once a year, more or less; hence, your best chance to get help from me is to come here, in the forum.
(In case you're wondering, SWM stands for "Select Weather Mod": this was its name before it became a modpack, and when it came the time to rename it... I actually didn't )
(Btw I'm not crazy nor that original... it's somewhat of a citation, as this is literally how Trumpkin got his nickname)

This modpack is for Pokemon Reborn; if you're looking for a Rejuvenation-compatible version, you can find it here:

http://www.rebornevo.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33807-rejuvenation-modular-modpack-v11-patch-3/

You can also find this modpack's files versioned on GitHub:

FAQ

"Why is there no longer the mod XXX?"

> It's a password in the base game now.

"I can't find it in the passwords"
> Look better; I've decided to not port a couple of mods, but 90% of the missing ones are in the base game now.

Installation

Download link: (v78 - updated 06/05/2023)

https://github.com/Waynolt/SWM-modular-modpack/releases/latest/download/SWM_modular_modpack_E19.zip

The link above will allow you to download a .zip archive.

Inside of that archive you will find a "Readme.pdf" explanatory file and a "Mods" folder.

To install, just drop the folder "Mods" into the folder "[Pokemon Reborn]\Data\"

(At the end you should have a "[Pokemon Reborn]\Data\Mods" folder with a bunch of files inside.)
This video from Lostelle explains it, showing each step required:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hc3Mo432C0

If playing on a Mac with Wineskin, then, as @Tacos suggests in this thread, do all the modding in a Reborn folder outside of the wrapper and then make a new wrapper with that folder

Every component is stand-alone, and can be used on its own; please refer to the "brief summary" below for more info on each one.

--------------------------------------------------

Brief summary of each mod component

(Please remember to check and delete the components you do not want when you are installing this mod pack!)

Spoiler

• "SWM - ChooseStarter": while you are in the starter selection room, you can select your starter (as if you wanted to give it an item) and use the "Change starter" option to randomize or choose its species.

• "SWM - EvOverflow": if your mon's EV in any stat would go over 252, without breaking the 510 overall limit, then you are offered the choice to improve its IV, at the cost of resetting that EV.
If instead you use friendship berries at 0 EV you are offered the choice to reduce the IV.

Use the password "noevcap" to disable EVs being lowered to make room for new gains when reaching the 510 overall limit.

• "SWM - ItemRadar" changes the ItemFinder so that, when activated, it stays on and marks hidden items on the game map.

• "SWM - LearnEggMoves" lets the move relearner teach any egg move.

• "SWM - MiningForRich": while mining the wall won't collapse, but mining further costs cumulatively more and more money (spent on materials to build a tunnel, of course ).

• "SWM - NoTMXAnimations" hides the TM animations for using Cut, Strength, etc, out of battle.

• "SWM - PredictRelationshipValues" makes the move Psychic usable out of combat, and using it lets you know each npc's relationship value.

• "SWM - RestToWait" makes the move Rest usable out of combat, and using it lets you wait for some simulated time.

• "SWM - ReusablePremierBalls": Premier Balls in the vanilla game are kind of boring - they're just normal balls, which makes them just a small discount for buying balls in bulk.
With this mod they become reusable - using them on a wild mon won't actually decrease their number in your bag.
They also act like a decentralized unit: their catch rate is a lot lower than their normal catch rate, but scales linearly with how many you have, with no cap.
(Their catch rate with the mod becomes the same as the vanilla one when you have 50 of them in your bag)
