Can anyone help me? I know this is pretty old
Far from it.
but I need to know how to use PKSV to get the offset thing for Advance Map or something like that. Can anyone help me??
If you meant the script offset for PKSV from AdvanceMap, then you can just follow the basic set-up tutorial (on the first post) to get it to work with AdvanceMap, then just double-click on any script icon to open it in PKSV.

OK, now I understand everything except the coding. Could someone please give me a code example with someone saying:

Hey son. How's your quest going? OR It's a beautiful day outside. It's time to go.



If I can get that, please can someone tell me how to start out the script and such or if there's a simple way to learn this stuff please tell me.

EDIT: The game I'm hacking is Fire Red if you needed to know that.

ANOTHER EDIT: NEVERMIND! :D I finally understand this!

Hm, is there any reference guide to the GSC scripting commands? Like, 2D = "GivePokémon", 2E = "SetbyteinRAM" or something like that? It seems impossible to script without knowing what the commands are... the autocomplete doesn't really help.

There's no official guide to them as of yet, but you can look up the command in the Gold hex scripting guide, and cross-reference it with this file:

wow this is still confusing and i've had the program for ages now but can you possably insert a free space finder for gold on it?
Why would you need a free space finder? Just open the ROM in a hex editor and look for any big block of 00s.

Just click the "00 mode" on the free space finder before searching, and convert it in the built-in calculator (offset to pointer).
Why would you need a free space finder? Just open the ROM in a hex editor and look for any big block of 00s.
You might as well look up the commands and write the script in hex, too. What we're going for is convenience ;)

Also, CelebiKing123 has gone to the trouble of writing >a tutorial< for us on modifying an event in Pokémon Gold.

Thanks for this utility. It is real helpful, the script generator is a real handy tool to get things done quickly. Thank you very much for this tool.

Good tool! This is my first Script Editor. But there are some errors with FR Gym leader trainerbattle command, setanimation and playsong (the second value reads as first).

To get an offset of free space, there are 2 methods. The easiest of the 2 involves opening PKSVUI, pressing Ctrl+P, then clicking "Find". This will find you some free space, and you just need to copy and paste it.
For now (since I have not finished the beta) you just have to add 0x100 or something around there to your free space offset if you want another one.

I can't understand the second sentence, but I'm sure you'll get it after a few minutes of experimentation.

I'm guessing this is a pretty stupid question, but does this program only EDIT scripts? Or can it make new ones as well?
