Thanks Doesnt and karatekid.

But now I'm having one small problem...

I'm copying the original mart text verbatim, only changing the beginning offset and the offset of the mart items (and of course, the mart items themselves). But now, when I test the marts in-game, some of them work and others don't bring up the buy menu, seemingly at random...

Spoiler:

Back again...I tried recompiling with xse 1.1.1, to no avail. Some of the time I can make it work still and other times I can't. The last time I made it work, it was displaying "Please come again!" twice...which is weird...but then again this whole thing is very strange.

Any help would be appreciated.
_____________________________________________________

EDIT: Funny story guys. I got frustrated and decided to start the marts over again using one of my backups. Besides using XSE 1.1.1, everything I did was the same. Admittedly, I told A-Map to use later offsets on the off chance that had anything to do with it. I also noticed that when you create a person event behind the counter, the movement permission changes to 0 (no idea if that matters either, just an observation). Annnnnnnd...

It works. Or so it seems. WEIRD. Anyway, with my luck I'll be back in 5 minutes saying it doesn't work after all, but for now...thanks for the help.

I can't seem to compile this, I keep getting the error "Unknown keyword "" at line 129" Any ideas?

In XSE, line 129 is empty.

This is a script for Fire Red.

I can't replicate that error and I can't ever recall something like this happening. I'd suggest shifting the parts of your script around and see if you can fill line 129 with something. The easiest thing to do this is probably putting your big block of applymovements/ msgboxes at the end of the script.

Hopefully that stops XSE from glitching out but I'm really not sure what caused this in the first place :/

Thanks for the help, Fuji.

I tried it out, but sadly, it didn't work. However, one thing I did notice is that where @Far went, the error always followed. For instance, say the following lines were 127 (the pointer), 128 (the text), and 129 (the blank line):

Spoiler:

The error would occur on 129. If I moved those same 3 lines (or even just the two containing the pointer and text) to a different location, regardless of what is in the following line, it would give me the same error.

I then tried removing @Far, and low and behold, it compiled...which is a problem, since that's one of my most important text strings.

Any idea on why this is happening?

I noticed that when I attempted to compile it, there were points at which the enter/return (depending on your keyboard) had been hit to go to the next line in the middle of a text. These caused errors in similar areas. Are you sure that every single set of text is just on one line?

Other than that, it compiled just fine.

I've also had this same problem happen to me, basically if I have some kind of small mistake with the text, I'll go back and fix it, but then when I compile it, the unknown keyword will show up like it did for you. I've even tried deleting the line with the error, then it'll just go to the next line with the redone text. I've tried copy and pasting it into a new script, same problem. Basically all you can really do is just make the whole script over again. At least that's what worked for me. I don't know any technical reasons as to what causes it though.

He must be hacking Ruby because no special in FireRed documented by JPAN brings up a clock, and there is no clock in FireRed to begin with.

The game i'm hacking is emerald.

So close... Many of the specials are different on Emerald. Special 0xA1 will nickname a pokemon for you. Try looking at scripts which you know contain the given special to find their new numbers.

Even in Fire Red I found my nickname special only works sometimes. Any idea why that is? Like it works I'd say half the time and randomly. Script doesn't crash or anything but it doesn't name the Pokemon (the nick name screen comes up with a ??? rather than the Pokemon mini-sprite-overworld thing). I can only assume I'm supposed to do more in the script than just calling the nickname special.

Any idea why that is?

karatekid552 · #**7613** January 27th, 2013, 03:46 AM

The nickname special read the pokemon position from var 0x8004, where 0x0 is your first slot. If this is set to a slot where there is no pokemon, it will still try to name it. This is all I can think is happening.

And now it's not even letting me receive the Pokemon, fun..

Spoiler:

Proof that this doesn't let me get the actual pokemon, it's actually really small, click it to make it bigger...

It looks like you've overwritten your initial script without re-pointing the parts of it which you have expanded in this revised version. This is because your offsets haven't changed (your scripts both start at the offset 0x9C0B77) and has led to your script becoming garbled later on. Unless you're doing minor edits (that don't increase the overall length) to an already inserted script then you should be using dynamic offsets like how you originally inserted the script rather than using the decompiled version.

Also, you seem to be using an early version of XSE. Here's a link to XSE 1.1.1 which is far less buggy and alters a few things such as the msgbox commands.

With that, try inserting this with the new version of XSE:

Code:

#dynamic 0x9C0000

#org @start
checkflag 0x800
if 0x1 goto @AnotherPokemon
msgbox @WantRiolu? 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @TakeRiolu
msgbox @Initiation 0x2
release
end

#org @AnotherPokemon
msgbox @WantAnother? 0x2
release
end

#org @TakeRiolu
givepokemon 0x27 0x5 0x8B 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @FoundRiolu 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
setflag 0x800
msgbox @NicknameRiolu? 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 call @Nickname
release
end

#org @Nickname
fadescreen 0x1
special 0xA1
waitstate
return

#org @WantRiolu?
= A Riolu is in a Pokéball.\pDo you want a Riolu?

#org @Initiation
= Well it doesn't seem right, is this\nan initiation?

#org @WantAnother?
= Really you want another one!

#org @FoundRilolu
= \c\h01ÊFound a RIOLU!

#org @NicknameRiolu?
= \c\h01ÊNickname this RIOLU?

#org @NicknameRiolu?

Now it just doesnt work, but i think it's because there has to be three of them for three different pokemon...

SonLJ · #**7617** January 27th, 2013, 08:47 PM

I'm using XSE and i put this in

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hey, Lj.

However when I put the offset into the advance map sprite and talk to it it just gives a bleep sound and no msgbox appears. Please help.

Sorry for double posting but I fixed it I needed to download XSE 1.1.1 I guess I had a older version of XSE. So I got it.

Hi, I just started the scripting and I need help.
I use the Ruby game. I make a givepokemon script and I follow the diegoisawesome's tutorial. It works, but to a point. When I click "Yes", box with Yes / No disappears, but the game freezes. (Here's the screenshot img841.imageshack.us/img841/4355/eeekp.png). Does anyone have an idea what is the reason?

Here's my script:

It doesn't work because I accidentally misspelled Riolu on that dynamic pointer so it didn't know where to connect. After correcting that it compiled perfectly in my XSE :P

When you say "nothing happened", what exactly do you mean by "nothing"? Did the script just not activate? Did the game freeze?

When i say nothing happened i mean i clicked the Pokeball and no script popped up or getting a pokemon or anything.

machomuu · #**7624** January 27th, 2013, 10:41 PM

Oh, and thanks for the help Fuji, Karatekid, and SpadeEdge. I ended up resolving the issue with my script by rewriting the line with the error and splitting it up into three different pointers.

No, it did not help. To be honest, I don't see also difference between your script and mine. Anyway, I tried to use other tutorials, I added also "lock" and "faceplayer", but still the game freezes when I select "Yes". Here's the script with a few changes:
