How can you find flag and variable offsets that aren't used yet? The offsets from free space finder can't be used for these, and i don't want to end up using a flag/variable that is being used by the game somewhere... I'm putting a lot of time in this hack, so i don't want to end up with a broken rom cos i've altered wrong values.
Does anybody know? Or is there a tool available that finds unused values for these?

I think there's something else wrong with my script, either that, or I've forgotten how to compile it properly.
I searched FSF for a (most likely massively large) 30,000 byte offset. (71AB8E)
I then replaced the offset in my code with it, just to make sure I had enough, because I have no idea how to tell exactly how much I need. :(
Anyway, then I click compile, and copy the offset "start".
I paste it as the MOM character's offset, (So that it says $71AB8F) save the changes to the ROM in A-Map.
I open the ROM to test, and when I talk to MOM, she looks at me, but says nothing. Then, when I press A again, she does nothing, then repeats the cycle.
It's probably something wrong with my script, maybe if someone's not too busy, could they please try my script out on the MOM character?
Sorry for pretty much hijacking this page... I think... :paranoid:
Also, @Nightcrow:
I'm not exactly sure, since I'm kinda new at this and all, but I'm pretty sure there was a list of flags used in the games in Diegoisawesome's tutorial... Or you could just follow the post right above me. :P

Wait, wha? It's the same site... :laugh:
I noticed that in your post, you mentioned two different addresses: '0x71A8BE' and '0x71A8BF'. You need to copy whatever address is displayed in the box that pops up when you press compile into the box in AdvanceMap. If there's any difference between the two, you will most likely run into problems.
I never really understand it when people explain it...
I take the offset from FSF, and paste it in the script at "#dynamic @start 0x######", then when I click compile, which brings up the window with a bunch of offsets in it.
Which one do I copy? In the bottom box, there's a start offset, which is one digit different, or is it one of the ones that appear in the main window?
I tried again, with the start offset as 0x71B17C, and I pressed compile, and this is what it says in the window...

Again, sorry for my stupidity when it comes to this. :p
Sorry to bother you all with yet another question... I must seem such a noob :D
How do you make a moved character retain his spot when you make the screen reload? I have a welcomecharacter blocking you way downstairs from your room. He gives you some small info about the rom and then he steps out of your way. Now when i go downstairs and upstairs again, my sprite is located on top of the other sprite(cos it is blocking the stairs again). And when i step into the room i'm trapped because the welcome text happens only once(flagged).
So is there a command to keep a sprite at his new spot when the screen is reloaded?

It's been a while since I scripted, but I think the command you're looking for is movesprite2. It moves the specified NPC to a certain location, and permanently make him stay there.
If you don't want him to block your way again, as in be removed completely from the map, you need to make him disappear using flags/variables and movement commands.
I might be wrong there, so please someone answer his question properly if I am not right. I forgot most XSE scripting commands after many, many C++ lessons.

You should copy the address of whatever script segment (e.g., "@start" or "@hey") you want to run first. In most cases, you'll want to use "@start" and, as far as I can tell, that's the one you should use in this situation too. So I guess you should try putting "71B17C" in the "Script Offset" box in AdvanceMap. If that doesn't work, I would try changing the #dynamic address to '0x800000' and then try compiling again. If that doesn't work, I can't help you and can only advise you to read a scripting tutorial.
Sorry to bother you all with yet another question... I must seem such a noob :D
How do you make a moved character retain his spot when you make the screen reload? I have a welcomecharacter blocking you way downstairs from your room. He gives you some small info about the rom and then he steps out of your way. Now when i go downstairs and upstairs again, my sprite is located on top of the other sprite(cos it is blocking the stairs again). And when i step into the room i'm trapped because the welcome text happens only once(flagged).
So is there a command to keep a sprite at his new spot when the screen is reloaded?
Depending on where you stand when you talk to him(front or right), he runs to a location(applymovement) on the map(coordinates 6,6). And the goal is to keep him there when i enter that map the next time. Applymovement works so 0x1 is the correct person #. And 0x6 0x6 are the coordinates where he should stay. Yet when i enter the map again, he is at coordinates 1,10 where he started.

So I'm looking to have a battle that allows losing like in the beginning against the rival in leaf green. I know there are types of battles such as 0x3, 0x9 etc... but in pksvui how do I get it to not send me to a pokecenter after losing. If i just knew where the code for that first battle was hidden I could do it myself.
Actually, you don't need to have knowledge of ASM to use HackMew's Shinyzer. I believe that all you have to do (after inserting the code) is to set a variable to a certain value depending on how many pokémon you want to be shiny. Here's a tutorial on how to use it.
