Don't worry about it now. I just used raw data instead of movement and it works fine now.

I was just wondering, when is the next release ?

...Unplanned? :p
If people have enough (useful and feasible) ideas to warrant another release, I'll get to work.

Thanks for making this!
Its one of the best editing programs yet!
The beginner guide really helps xD

i am having a hard time trying to figure out why when i press the open script in am
it says
the system cannot find the file specified
would you know anything on how to fix that?

[Full Metal]

O_o...
okay...i'm going to assume you meant....
I am having a hard time trying to figure out why when i press teh "open script" button in Advance Map, it says "the system cannot find the file specified"
Would you know anything on how to fix that?
First of all
1) Is it Advance Map or PKSV who says that?
2) Is you script editor set to PKSV in A-Map?
3) Are you sure you haven't just moved ur pksv or something?

i just re-downloaded both and used a clean rom on it and it still didn't work, i do believe that is PKSV that is saying that, and A-Map script editor is put to PKSV, it works with XSE though which is wierd

When you choose your script editor, it asks you if you want to separate the filename from the offset with a space or a colon. I chose space, so press "no" on the dialog.

One of the reasons for this is NTFS ADS

it doesnt work for me 1st the associate shell thing says error access denied
2nd it won't open any rom i say open and nothin happens

The icon files are there, so they're not showing up upon launch of program.

I still haven't gotten around to fixing that; though the workaround is to set your monitor's colour depth to 32-bit.
Edit: Fixed

I thinK THIS thing is messed up! All it did was make the events i made share a same event! And it makes something go to the wrong place! Seriously, fix this up a LOT!

(And do NOT delete this!)

[Razer Rage]

I tried running the "AssociateShell" file, but I just get "Access Denied" errors. I know what the problem is, I'm not an admin. -.-

Why is this necessary anyway? AdvanceMap and XSE don't need to be installed like this, you can just run them.

And PKSV seems to work, even though I can't run the .bat file...

Oh well, it looks like I'll just have to stick with XSE.

1. I don't have power to delete posts here.
2. If there's something wrong with the program, it's best that I know. If I could delete that post and then did delete it, I'd probably forget.
Edit- turns out the problem was caused by having the same "Person Event No." for each sprite. Another small detail to add to my mental list of non-obvious mistakes.

AdvanceMap and XSE don't try to do this. Associating with the shell is a completely optional task, PKSV works fine without it.
Edit- Actually, I've just remembered AdvanceMap has a context menu extension. Same thing though, optional-but-it-helps type of thing.

[Gray Stellar]

Pksv Is the best...DAaaaa

[Razer Rage]

I think I like PKSV more than XSE. The colored code, the expand/collapse option...it's really good.

Of course, it could be better (tabs, command help, better documentation, etc.) like XSE has.

Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I think I really messed up on something because when I edited a certain trainer's text, it plays out normally but after the battle I switch over to a nearby sprite. Weird. But kinda cool. XD
This only happens when I directly face the trainer to battle.

#org 0x81C17A9

Also, most of the time when I edit text, some of it becomes replaced by another person's text.

This is how it looks after I compile and everything. I dunno what the freak I'm doing wrong. I think I need to redownload it or something.
BTW, this program's awesome. Even though I have problems understanding it. ;

[score_under]

No idea about the sprite switching try using MSG_STANDARD or something...

As for the text overwriting, though, try using dynamic offsets - this will relocate the offsets to a different position so that they won't overlap.

[SoaY]

Ah, okay. Thanks. That pretty much worked.
Now, I have another problem. (I'm such a noob. I know.)
I've created a large script that turns out as a large pile of #raws when I open it with AM.
I compiled it and checked if everything belonged in the right place. Seems right.
But again, full script of #raws.

Please tell me it's something small. :\ As in like, I should put the offsets somewhere else. I spent like an hour or two on this (because I'm still learning). I mean, I have a backup in case, but it just frustrates me that it all pretty much goes to waste.

[Full Metal]

um...i don't see anything immediately obvious, try using dynamics again (you should probably make that a habbit btw)

Oh boy, I think you need eyeglasses.
Look at the offsets he used to compile his script. Does that look right to you?
SoaY, every 'org' would, once decompiled, only give the first byte of every org, followed by the last string. But since the decompiler doesn't know it's a string, you'll only get to see that string as raw hexadecimal data too.
As Full Metal said:
