Okay, so I am having some trouble with the Pokepic commands in XSE. Fire Red base.

Code:

#org @part2 showpokepic PKMN_TENTACOOL 0x1 0x1 msgbox @ossincise 0x5 compare 0x800D 0x1 hidepokepic if 0x1 goto @ossincisechose showpokepic PKMN_SNORUNT 0x1 0x1 msgbox @snorunt 0x5 compare 0x800D 0x1 hidepokepic if 0x1 goto @snoruntchose showpokepic PKMN_LUNATONE 0x1 0x1 msgbox @birdawl 0x5 compare 0x800D 0x1 hidepokepic if 0x1 goto @birdawlchose msgbox @whichone 0x6 goto @part2

When I try to compile it says "unknown keyword '0x61 pokepic' on line 47" line 47 is the first showpokepic line. It also says "unknown keyword '0x60 pokepic' on line 51" line 51 is the first hidepokepic line.

Do you have any "#define"s or "#alias"es in that script or, as Spherical Ice mentioned, one of your header files? Perhaps you used "HIDE" and "SHOW" as symbols for a value which would cause XSE to replace all instances of "hide" and "show" with that value (even if they're part of a command).

Thanks for the help, but when XSE compiles it, it changes it back to 0x81A74EB.

The appended '8' doesn't change anything. XSE automatically does that to tell you that the pointer points to an address in the ROM area (as opposed to the RAM).

anyway,i have a problem with this script,i want to warp to route 1 from one map to another,which is like from vermiilion to route 1 so i do this script,its a lvel script btw.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
playsong 0x118 0x0
fadescreen 0x1
msgbox @1 0x4
warp 0x3 0x19 0xFF 0x8 0xE
fadesong 0x123
fadescreen 0x0
setvar 0x5006 0x1
release
end

but after the messge it warp me to route 7 intead which map is no 3:19 but 3:25..
don't noe why

0x19 is 25 in decimal. You should either replace '0x19' with '25' or '0x13'.

Also, please take a moment to read over your post before clicking "Submit". Your spelling is simply atrocious.

Spherical Ice said:
Furthermore, you can't have Warp 0xFF, so the third parameter was incorrect. The asterisk (*) indicates that it changes depending on the warp number which you want to warp me to. I believe the 0xFF was the problem, however if not then please tell me.

Actually, 0xFF is used in place of the warp number in order to execute a warp to a specific location on the target map. The final two parameters are then used (otherwise they're '0') to specify the X- and Y-coordinates, respectively.

Lol, I said that I am using XSE :P

Excuse me while I slap myself silly for making a fool out of myself. I've never experienced this problem before, but I'd suggest to do it the non-fancy way. Just do:

showpokepic 0x[Insert Pokemon data in HEX here] 0x[Level In HEX] 0x[Item in HEX] 0x[Buffer] 0x[Buffer] 0x[Buffer]

Pokemon list is as follows (Ripped from diegoisawesome's huge XSE tut):

Uhm, I think you've gotten 'showpokepic' confused with 'givepokemon'. What good would specifying a level and item do if all the command does is display a picture of a pokémon? The actual parameters are as follows:

Code:

showpokepic Pokémon_ID X-coordinate Y-coordinate

...where "Pokémon_ID" is a halfword and the coordinates are bytes.

Ah, I didn't quite understand what he was saying. This was the problem, thanks!
Even though that problem is fixed, I am still having the same problem as before(see my last post on this thread). I'm not sure if I messed up with commands, or what exactly is going on.

Arrgh! That's number two on the Morono-Meter! BUT I will make myself not look stupid by the end of the day!
Perhaps you could still try my idea with the replace the PKMN_[Insert Pokemon Name here]

to
showpokepic 0x[HEX number of Pokemon, just look in the previous post for the DEC numbers] 0x[Coordinate 1] 0x[Coordinate 2]

MechaTrainer · Oct 13, 2010

I made a pokescript where your mother gives you a pokemon, when I walk up to the spot she is supposed to be on there in nothing there and I am pretty sure it is the scripts fault

Yeah, that wasn't the problem, we figured it out already. :P

What is her person ID? Have you set a flag equal to her ID previously?
Also when writing messages, write them like so:
Hello\nthere \v\h01!\pHow are you?\nYou look good today\pmaybe you want to go out\nfor coffee?
not:
Hello \n there \v\h01, how are you? \p I'm good. \n How do you feel?

Perhaps that error message has something to do with the fact that you use the dynamic label "$gotit" twice. When you use "goto $gotit", the game won't know whether to go to the first "$gotit" or the second "$gotit", which is why the compiler won't let you compile.

Also, the 'givepokemon' command contains three extra parameters which are usually set to '0x00'. I haven't used Pokescript in a long time (and I suggest you switch to XSE or PKSV) but I don't think that those bytes are coded for in Pokescript's command database so you'll have to add three 'nop' commands after 'givepokemon'.

So I replace the second gotit and it should work now right?

Make mom's Person ID 0's all the way across. Hopefully she'd appear then.

I took the trees out of start map but when I go to the edge of the map there are trees past map edge. How do I fix this? I'm making a desert region is why I need to know.

Random92 · Oct 14, 2010

You have to change the "border block" in advance map. Replace the tree with "dust" or whatever tiles you want outside the map.

wat if two sides are sand and two sides are water how would I do two different borders? would I have to edit the ASM?

Actually, you should just ditch the second "$gotit" section altogether. It doesn't seem, to me at least, that it's serving any purpose. It looks like an exact copy of the other "$gotit" section but without the 'end' command, which might cause bugs. Your final script should end up looking something like this:

Spoiler:

I preemptively blame any errors in that script on the fact that I haven't used Pokescript in almost two years now.

Mekaj said:

You can set the border block to water and then expand the map so that the player can't see the border on the sand side. Or vice versa.

thanks everyone that helped me, but there is still one problem how do I activate the pkmn menu and make the script say you have obtained "pokemon"! with the jingle?

and how do I make it say Player has obtained [pokemon]

It doesn't really matter where you put it, but I would put it before the givepokemon command.

givepokemon 1 5 0
message $[pointer]
boxset 6
...
...

#org $[pointer]
$[pointer] 1 = \v\h01 received the Pokemon!
