Welcome
Hello, GreenPikmin, and welcome to Pikipedia, a wiki with information regarding Pikmin. We thank you for registering, and would like to point you to the Helping out page so you can get started right away. If you need a guide for beginners on how to edit pages, check the Quick start guide. Finally, if you need to talk to one of us, there's the Chatroom. We hope you enjoy your stay!
Welcome aboard! I'm afraid there is no real way to associate the changes, but you could add a description on your user page explaining that you made the changes here. Better than nothing. — {EspyoT} 05:00, 12 February 2015 (EST)
e-Reader
Outstanding job! We've always wanted to have more info on the e-Reader games, and now you came along and added it. I'd like to point you down to the chatroom – we have a few members there, but for the most part, the "pros" are always around. At least three of us are good with programming and fiddling with in-game files, so if you feel like chatting about reverse-engineering and in-game discoveries, hop in and chat (though keep in mind that we could be away because of our busy schedules...). Keep up the great work, too! Oh, and if you can add some more juicy content to the e-Reader page, I think it'd make a great candidate for a featured article; we're getting close to the day we have to swap out for a new featured article. — {EspyoT} 10:21, 17 February 2015 (EST)
- No problem, it was quite a learning experience for me! Anyway, I've tried joining the chat but can't seem to connect. Either the server is down or it's a problem with my security settings to I'll look into it. I soon plan on asking about data mining Pikmin 3 and I've seen your work on TCRF as it seems not a whole lot has been found within the game yet so hopefully we'll be able to discover more soon!

Pikmin 3 fruit values
Hi there. Where exactly did you get the fruit values from? Are they in the _indirect .szs files? Because I can't find them at all. — {EspyoT} 14:28, 5 May 2016 (EDT)
- Yes, after the indirect file is decompressed you'll get some text documents, one is called params.txt. The price value in each is about 50 lines down under a section called mPrice (you might have to open it with a special encoding in Notepad++ or something). This is the only field I've confirmed so far but eventually we'll need a fruit technical info template. Also, the fruit data is located in the otakara folder. For a while the only dump of the game available was missing this folder so check that you have it. GreenPikmin (talk) 15:18, 5 May 2016 (EDT)
- Thanks for the detailed reply! I actually browsed the indirect files before and found that mPrice field... but it doesn't match up to what appears in-game. Further, I tried checking the Delectable Bouquet (internal name "fig") and it says its mPrice is 0. Are you saying you get an 80 on that exact same file? I wonder why our files are different... The files I'm checking are the vanilla (no DLC or update) files inside the European copy of the game. What about you? — {EspyoT} 15:24, 5 May 2016 (EDT)
