Balance Patcher:

Generates gecko codes and patch notes for new balance patches

How to use:

run with ./BalancePatcher.py -m Path/To/Modified.csv

The tool compares two csv files, one with stats from the previous version and one modified with new values. Tool will find all of the differences between the two files and generate gecko codes needed to put those differences into the game.

The gecko codes will be saved to a file called patches/csv1~csv2_gcf.txt. You can copy and paste the contents of that file into dolpin cheat manager.

Balance patch notes can also be generated by using the -g flag. If generated the notes will be saved to a file named patches/csv1~csv2_bpn.txt.

Example modded csv can be found in ref/msb_demo.csv. Notice that some columns accept integers or words, either can be used. To see valid inputs for any given stat refer to ref/stat.json. There the "vld_inputs" will specifiy which keywords can be used. If no "vld_inputs" are listed then only numbers can be used for that stat. The original stats of the game are found in ref/msb_default.csv. I suggest using that for generating gecko codes and balance patches. [NO RECOMMENDED] If you do wish to use another starting file you can pass the path with the -p option. Be warned, the gecko codes generated will doing this may not give you the desired result.
