Development: Fire Red Item Crafting System Script

Hey guys, so ive been working on something for the last few days, some of you have probably seen my posts asking for help on some of the key components of it, which i appreciate a lot, those of you who have helped, i could had done it without you.

That being said, my idea was to bring some sort of crafting system to Pokemon. Like other RPGs i really enjoy being able to gather materials and craft my own items.

After a few days of constant writing, testing, and rewriting, ive finally got it to work right! It's nothing fancy but its my first big test in scripting i feel. By far the most complicated thing ive done so far lol So, Ill explain.

I created an item that runs a script that opens a multichoice window. That window is linked to 3 more multichoice windows by the last choice on the first page which says 'next page'. However at the time of writing, i have only completed the first page.

Each multichoice window has 8 selections, the first 6-7 are the items you can craft, the last are for navigation. When you select, let's say, "Pokeball", it tells you the materials and the quantity of those materials that are required to craft the item.

The script then checks to see if you have the right materials, removes them if you do, and gives you the selected item you "crafted". Its fairly simple, but for a rookie, it has been a heck of a challenge lol

Again, its not fully completed to my intent yet, i plan to add the other pages and create some custom items for it, but it will work well enough for anyone who wants to modify it to however many options they want.

I wanted to make it available to the community so if anyone else wanted to use it, they could. If anyone does want to use it, and wants to know how exactly to set it up, just msg me or ask here. I just dont have time to write a detailed tutorial on the process atm, but ill be happy to help.

If you guys find any bugs, let me know, and constructive criticism and ideas are always welcome.

Thanks again to all those who helped me get this far, from tutorials, to answering my stupid questions lol

Good idea :D
But before you attempt to add more pages,you should probably try neaten this up - as it's going to be incredibly repetitive. All the item commands can take variables as parameters, so you could dedicate a couple of variables to be used for those and just have a generic @craft section. That way all you repeat is some setvars. I'm not sure if the buffers are long enough, but you might be able to buffer the item name so you don't need a message for every item. It also might be better if you split the msgbox command into its separate commands; its not really saving much in the way of data, and you could load your messages that change into script banks. It might be worthwhile converting this to ASM, which will probably be shorter and more configurable (you could load the craftable items from a table).

Those are great ideas! I was thinking the same thing, how long and repetitive it is, I just don't really have that strong a knowledge of how vars and things like that work, but I'd love to be able to put em in a table and use variables. That would make it so much easier to write and modify lol I appreciate the feed back. I'll try to learn how to clean it up some.

If you have any other suggestions or comments please feel free to let me know. It's the only way I'll get better!

Maybe, adding chances when crafting something by using command "random". You can also apply crafting level by reading a specified var. the value of that specified var is increased by adding command addvar for every crafting attempt you have made.

What im hearing is, i need to learn how to use vars efficiently lol

So, you mean, adding a chance that the crafting will fail depending on the level of the skill, and adding the skill by using addvar?
How would i apply the addvar to recognize how many times youve attempted to craft an item?

Again, my understanding of variables, buffers and things of that nature are still very limited lol.

ive been trying to mess with putting the vars in to clean it up but there arent any tutorials that show how to use them for something like this. If there are i cant find them anyway. would you mind giving me a short example of the right way to set it up?

vars are used to stored hexadecimal integers which ranges from 0-FFFF (0-65535)
so let's say we have 3 levels of crafting:

Average - needs 0x32 points
Adept - needs 0x128 points
Master - needs 0xFF points

And crafting a simple item such as potion gives 0x1 point. You may use safe vars (e.g.4050) for storing the crafting points.

To make this more understandable, let me post a script. Just take note that I only typed the significant commands. :P I used 4050 for crafting points

Yes I appreciate the example! When I get home I'll study it and try to set it up. I'll repost then probable asking more questions lol thanks again!

I can already see a rom hacker making something like FireCraft or MineRed with this haha
