FIXED...KINDA
Game: FireRed
Type: Level
Editor: XSE
Script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#ORG @begin
scriptscriptscript

Problem: When I compile this script into the game, and set it up, you know blah, it deletes all the other scripts in the game. I don't know if the foul-up is caused by me not putting it in correctly, or what. Thanks for the help.

I can't find ANY helpful Trainer Battle scripts(for XSE of course) in Tuts... Help?

TheSilverVersion · Feb 18, 2009

If I may ask another question:

Firered/ XSE

I have two scripts here: The first is a script I wrote that will move the main character back a step.
script 1

Spoiler:

It will work the first time you step on the tile, but if you step on the tile a second time, the message will appear, and the game freezes. My main problem is the interaction with the second script:

Script 2:

Spoiler:

This second script is attached to a person event. It also works, however, only if you activate it before you activate the first script, otherwise, it will freeze. I'm assuming that I've scripted something wrong, so that the scripts can't work with one another?

Many thanks in advance, if you can help me out.

Well, one problem is that you dont have a movement 0xFE at the end of those movements... (Finish Movement)
Try adding it and then coming back here? Okay hon'?

Ok. That fixes the first script right up. Now when the second script is activated, it will work, and then when I go back to the first tile script, the game will freeze up. So do I need to put in a call for yes and point it to an end command in order to remove the script? Thank you for your time.

Uhm, can anyone help?

I have a basic givepokemon script that makes your dad give you an eevee. The dad is replacing your mom in the game, but I want to know if I can merge the script I have with the original mom script.

Here's the Eevee one. It also sets the running shoes flag, but I might remove that as its not working. I can easily make someone else give you them.

Code:

#org $start
lock

checkflag 0x828

end

return

#org $done

boxset 6
release
end

#org $1
$1 1 =So, \v\h01, today is the day\n you set off.\pI know you've always wanted to\n search for your mother.\pAnyway, this was your\nmother's Eevee.\pDo you want it?

Well, you should also always include a 'release', even if there is no lock, especially if nothing happens. (A checkflag does not really count) Try adding a release after the checkflag.
(But of course, here is a fabulous tip... Try adding a 'goto @TEXT' after the checkflag (Text can be anything) and then make it be;
#org @TEXT
release
end

Then just write down that pointer after you compile and use that whenever you need to simply 'end' a script, it will be a great time saver.)

You forgot to add a 'done' section silly!
There are no sections that have,
#org @done
as there starter lines!
Another bit of information, this is not PokeScript anymore, Movements can be written on one line!
Also, you are going to want to update your copy of XSE, because XSE does not use 'boxset' anymore.
NOW it uses

message @talk 6

See, boxset, is now a part of 'message'!
So just add the #org @done section, including all of hte script you are going to need, and update XSE, and then fix that boxset, and this script will work fine!

I'm working on the first script I've ever made, and I'm having trouble with XSE. I made one script and gave it a new offset I found with the FSF, compiled into my rom (at least I guess that's what I managed to do; you compile it just by clicking the button that looks like two blue gears, right?), went into the game and checked it out--it worked fine, the character talked just like he was supposed to. Except I'd messed up some of the dialogue and wanted to change it, so I went back into the script, changed the dialogue, and compiled it again.

But when I went back into the game it hadn't changed. I've tried several times. I've closed and opened XSE and compiled it again to see if it'd change, and saved in AdvanceMap after compiling to see if that would do any good. It hasn't.

What do I need to do to change a script once it's been compiled?

XSE is a little weird. It changes the offset of your script every time you compile it, but those changes are not reflected in the script itself until you reload it.

If you want to use the same offset, then you must first decompile the offset, add the changes, and then recompile it.

So for example, let's say your offset is 800000. In the toolbar (under the tabs) on the right hand side you will see "offset". Next to that is a field. Enter in the offset (in this case, 800000), and then click on the cross wrench/screwdriver symbol (or "decompile") next to the form. This will bring back the old script that was first compiled.

As far as I know, it is not possible to delete offsets, or scripts for that matter. Or, there is a way and I still can't figure it out. -.-

I have a couple of questions that I can't seem to find answers too. First off for offsets, why does the default seem to be 800000? What do all the numbers mean? :P I know that with flags it is recommended to go with 1000+ because up to 800 is reserved by the game, is this the case with offsets too?

Also, I've noticed that there are no warp points in advanced maps for built in game maps (like pallet town to route 1). I was wondering how this could be done with custom built maps?

I have other questions I'm sure, but I will use search first (which in my opinion, is not a very good search engine.).

Thanks.

EDIT: I just remembered, for some reason I can not access the built in XSE guide. When I try to open it I first get this page:

Navigation to the webpage was canceled

What you can try:

Retype the address.

Then when I try to navigate, I get this page:

The address is not valid

Most likely causes:

There might be a typing error in the address.
If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.

What you can try:

Retype the address.

Go back to the previous page.

Help?

I can't help with the other stuff, but I know the answer to the guide. What I had to do was allow it through the firewall on my computer. I'm pretty sure you're firewall is blocking it.

That's what I was afraid of. I'm at school, and I think the router is configured to more or less block anything that is not an internet browser from accessing the internet. I've been able to get ONE program to work, but not the rest.

Why isn't the guide a part of the download package? In that case, does anyone know the web location of the guide? I'd like to be able to download it for when I'm not online. :)

EDIT: For those who can access the guide, I'm pretty sure you can get the location by right clicking on the page and then clicking "copy page location", or something like that.

help. I sorted the previous problem.

Anyways, I have the exit to the first town, its one block wide, and there's a mand stadning there. He's menat to tell you to go see you dad, unless you have a pokemon, whne he is supposed to walk off screen.

Earlier I had it working so you could talk to him without a poke and it'd be fine. But when you got it it would be glitchy text.

But now he doesn't even talk. DDDDDDDD;

Code:

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x828
if b_true goto $done
message $1
boxset 6
release
end

#org $done
message $2
applymovement 0x06 $move
release
end

#org $move
#raw 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x60

#org $1
$1 1 = \v\h01! Are you leaving today?\nHave you talked to your father?\pI think you should.

#org $2
$2 1 =Oh, I see you have a pokemon now.\nI guess you can leave.

I think its something to do with the applymovement but I'm lost.

Hmm, you don't have a boxset between the message 2 and the applymovement. You had one earlier, but I guess you forgot to encode the second one. Don't worry, I make stupid errors like that all the time XD

Also, unless you want the sprite to be moving after the release, I'd recommend a waitmovement command.

Try changing lines 5 and 7 to

(----- is the offset you wrote up there, in these cases, line 5 would be @uncle and line 7 would be @bro )
The problem is, that you are checking if it IS set, and if it is then go to @uncle.

What you are saying you WANT is to see if it is NOT set, and if it is NOT then call @uncle...
0x0 = NOT set
0x1 = YES set
get it?
