It works 100% lol :P
I'm not doing flags yeh, so yeh anyway...
This is in pallet town, you can talk to him before you get your pokemon from prof Oak. There's a reason for that...I'm trying to make it so instead of Oak giving you the choice, you start off with a Pikachu (Or something, haven't really thought about the details like that :P) And your rival starts with something else...(For the sake of this let's say a Houndour)

How do I make it so when you get the Pikachu from that script you get the Pokemon option in the pause menu?

Another thing...How would I go about deleting the parts of Oak's scripts so you don't have to choose a Pokemon and you get a pokedex from the get go? The without the [buffer] stuff, how would I determine the Pokemon your Rival recieves?

If this is counted as big and ment to have it's own thread my bad :P Iono what's big n whats not lol

But yeh thanks if anyone helps.
Commands for the pokedex and pokemon in the start menu will be fine (And for recieving the pokedex) I'll experiment with putting em in. But the editing Oak's script yeh I'm 100% stumped lol...

Try searching the forums next time. Some are already answered.

Editing Oak's script could be difficult so your best bet is setting variables.
variable 0x4050
0 - activates Oak stopping you from leaving
(set to 1 to disable)

0x4051
0 - old man blocks your way
1 - old man catches a weedle
2 - disables the old man

0x4055
0,1 - ?
2 - forces you to take a pokemon in the lab
3 - forces rival battle in the lab
4 and above - dunno for now.. but disables you choosing pokemon and rival battle

0x4057 (thethethethe's level script thread)
0 - forces you to give Oak the parcel
1 - disables this
-maybe a 2 so that oak wouldn't give you the dex again when you talk to him.. dunno

as for rival's pokemon, I'm still trying to find the flags. If you skipped choosing a pokemon, I presume his pokemon will be the type stronger against the default first pokemon (bulba) so his poke will be charmander. However, I think the flags for the pokeballs in the lab can set his pokemon. I'm not 100% sure with this yet.

EDIT: variable 0x4031 sets Gary's Pokemon.
If you selected Bulbasaur, the value is 0. Squirtle for 1, Charmander for 2 so:
0 - Charmander line
1 - Bulbasaur line
2 - Squirtle line

from thethethethe's tutorial
Pokemon menu - setflag 0x828
Pokedex menu - setflag 0x829

I guess this is the right area to post it, I don't know. But, here.
My friend needs help with something in Emerald, and he doesn't have an account, so he told me to ask for him...

Full Metal Kirby says:
XD003, do me a favor and ask if it's possible to make glowing text like on Emerald's Battle Factory for the Pokemon names on the screen for picking the three pokemon outof six.

If anyone knows, please tell me. Thanks in advance.

[Austinia]

I really need help, if someone can help me. I'm a newbie... and I can't figure out how to make a person say something. I'm using Irish Witch's guide



The thing is, when it says
"Finally click 'Burn' in the file menu, but before you close the program write down the number that apears next to the first offset in the list ($StartScript). You'll need it later!"

I don't see anything titled "$StartScript" and I get stuck at the point. I follow it word by word, too.

Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried a lot of times... and I get lost after burn. Please PM me if you can help!

Thanks, sorry bout not searchin too hard...just lookin through pages is a real pain right now cuz my nets capped. So should i be puttin these into there scripts? Or making brand new scripts from the get go with these variables that'll mean you automatically skip those parts?

Edit- Another question... :P
I started with flags and yeh, :)

This works until the last part...Once you've got your pikachu, he won't talk...All he does is face you when you click him :/ I've looked over it again and again and I can't for the life of me work out what's wrong with it :/...I know it's probably gonna be something stupid but hey :P

According to my friend, he says all that is missing/forgot was the callstd 0x6 for the HowsIt message.

This is just an extract from the script, the movement part...:P
What happens is you walk over the script and you freeze instead of facing down, walking down then walking right.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Freezing is the problem right?
Try this...
On the spot you put the script, click on it in AdvanceMap and find Unknown on the side.
Put 0300 in that spot.
On the one under it, put 5040.
Oh, and you need 0xFE at the end of the movement.

 

[Danno]

Okay, I made my first script: when I didnt add the 300 5040 thing, it froze the game. And wehn I did, Ash walks right through it and nothing happens.

Here it is:

#org $start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x203
if use if b_true goto $done
release
end

#org $done
message $1
boxset6
applymovement 0xFF $move1
pausemove 0
end

#org $move1
#raw 0x03 0xFE

#org $1
$1 1 =\v\h01: Wait!\nI'm supposed to meet \v\h06 and\lMISTY on the PIER!

Whats wrong with this? Remember, this is my first script ;)

EDIT: Yunghove helped me. Its fixed.

(#org $start
checkflag 0x1001
if b_true goto $done
message $1
boxset 6
applymovement 0xFF $move1
pausemove 0
release
end

#org $done
release
end

#org $move1

PIER!)

try this one
now here mine
it wont do the give pokemon..!

For yours, on your 3rd digit is quantity, if you have 0 than you give nothing, change it to 0x1

 

[X-Buster]

so i need to change it into this

givepokemon 0x4 0x5 0x1 0x0 0x0 0x0

it still wont work

 

[~Teh Panda~]

so i need to change it into this
it still wont work

NVM, thats the item no., io am gonna look over your script again, I will edit when i find the problem

EDIT: does this happen all at once, if so you could try to place the givepokemon script somewhere else on there, before the flag set. Try that once.

 

[adiktus]

try this one
now here mine
it wont do the give pokemon..!

Are you sure the givepokemon didn't work? Is it the first Pokemon you receive? If it is, then you must set the pokemon menu flag.

 

[X-Buster]

Are you sure the givepokemon didn't work? Is it the first Pokemon you receive? If it is, then you must set the pokemon menu flag.

so all i have to do is to put 'setflag 0x828' before the give pokemon command, thanks for the help..!

 

[~Teh Panda~]

so all i have to do is to put 'setflag 0x828' before the give pokemon command, thanks for the help..!

No, right after. If its before each time your run the script it will give a pokemon!

 

[adiktus]

Dunno if this is the right place for the questions. but...

How does the game (fire red) distinguish which of the gba buttons is pushed? And how does the game react to the pushed buttons..

I.e. If I press left button on the dpad, the game finds that the left button is pressed, then reacts to it by.. maybe calling a script that makes the player move to the left, or selecting the option to the left of the current highlighted option (like in selecting an attack in battle)

How is it done?

XSE Question

= Hey, look a cave....


Okay, I was just getting XSE working, but after some basic scripts; I tried to make another, but when I got this script done(yea, it's very basic lol) I went to compile it. when I browsed and found the ROM I looked at the big box below where the ROM file goes, but it wouldn't recognize the script or something lol. I'd browse for it, but it wouldn't show up. I then checked a box saying to recognize files like .RBC and .RBH. The files icon changed to look more like XSE's icon, but still nothingn happened... Is the script wrong? I used Free Space Finder and it found 2DD100; so I put it in the script... I'm still a noob scripter, but am I doing something wrong here? I'll really appreciate your answers. :D Thank you for reading this post.

Its definitely not a script in the sense that I think you are talking about. Its stuff thats built into the game engine, why would you want to change it?

I'm not sure what you are asking. That screenshot is from emerald right? In that case you cannot make a script that will do that, but you can compromise, for example in SG Zel just has scripts where it plays a beeping sound and shows the text, which is essentially the same thing. If you are talking about the icon then you would have to edit one of the existing characters with a tile editor and insert that in.

Uuhhhhhhh, what? I have no idea what you're asking. Maybe you didn't copy the script over into the rom file? You have to open the rom file, then in that tab put your script into it otherwise it will not burn it to that rom. Maybe you're problem is the offset? There isn't much space in areas like that try using 800000 instead.

Fire Red as no phone system though!!!
Yeah, I know Zel had one...
