Looks pretty handy. But I still can't even get it to work by copying every character :/ Any, would it be possible to receive the egg. And that a person wouldn't let you go farther if the egg didn't hatch yet?

how do you know how many bytes you will need for a script before using FSF? as in, what amount for a simple script or a big script?

If you are using dynamic offsets you don't even need to know the offset you write it on. Just simply open your ROM at 0x800000 and compile your script. Be sure to turn off the Compile Log and view the offset that @start was wrote in. That's the offset you put in A-Map.

I'm having a problem with my wild battle script
Spoiler:


After I defeat or capture him he disappears until I move then the sprite reappears and I can battle him again. What have I done wrong with the script? And if it matters I'm using a firered ROM.

On Misdreavus's overworld in A-Map, change its Person ID to 0200.

I don't understand the FSF offsets; does this need to be different for every script? Or is it always x8000000(blahblah)? For different types of messages, does this number change?

Oh, and I get an error when I launch the game ): 'cause this guide, although it does entail a lot of things, doesn't explain why things go in certain places very well. My tiny script doesn't look anything like the in-game NPC scripts. I don't get why I error right on start-up, either, since I modified the mother NPC on the first floor of the house.

When I launch Fire Red, I get this (after the "Press Start" screen):

"The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed"

What's that?

This is my NPC modification btw:

Code: 
#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
textcolor 0x01
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto @violaiswaiting
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0x01 @move
waitmovement 0x0
applymovement 0xFF @move2
pause 0x30
release
end

#org @1
= Mom: Oh \v\h01! You're finally awake!\pProfessor Viola came by earlier;\n she wanted to talk to you but\n you were asleep.\pYou should go visit her.\n It appeared urgent.
setflag 0x200

#org @violaiswaiting
= Mom: You should go visit Viola;\n she should be in her laboratory.

#org @move
#raw 0x01
#raw 0xFE

#org @move2
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x12
#raw 0x10
#raw 0xFE

I don't even think it actually makes it into the game, since when I click on "Open Script" in Advanced Map, it displays the old script still.

What's wrong with it?

You forgot to press the "Compile" button on XSE and paste the offset on the mom's NPC.

Hey, this is a really great tutorial, but I just need some help with one piece of script:

I've changed the wording that your 'Mum' uses slightly in my Hack, so ithe script reads like this:

Spoiler:


However after compiling it, it changes to this:

Spoiler:


You'll notice the ending line for a male protagonist is messed up. I'm not sure how to fix this, I've tried saving the script and saving changes, and saving the note, but I can't seem to keep it from changing. I'd really appreciate help with this :cer_smile:.
