changes in bold.(you forgot callstd...)
Also, I recommend adding a fadescreen when the person disappears.

Thanks T
Whats the command for a Fadescreen again?

Thanks T
Whats the command for a Fadescreen again?

Fadescreen 0x0, or Fadescreen 0x1(the only ones I've used.)
Check thethethethe's tut for uses for each.

On the script tile in Advance Map you must set the var number to 4052 and the first unknown to 0003.

My brother and four little sisters were arguing a few nights ago about which pokemon game they liked the most. Eventually it came down to what you could CATCH and I was inspired to alter Pokemon Emerald (the going favorite) to include all 386 pokemon. So far I've had no trouble getting the pokemon to show up - gotta love AdvanceMap - but the blasted nationaldex data won't show up!

So I go and do a little MORE research and it turns out that without the National Dex the nationaldex data will NEVER show up (I knew this about FR and LG - having been a long-time player, but I'd never bothered with Emerald before now) so I decide to try my hand at scripting.

I've found pleanty of samples and codes to use to make the national dex turn up - but no matter how had I try it won't work. So I decided to make my job SIMPLER by replace a line of text for one character - namely the scientist in Birches lab - so that he gives me the national dex right off. Unfortunately, despite opening it from Advancemap and then attempting to edit it with XSE, no matter what changes I make - it won't let me compile the script.

The tutorials all say, that all I need to do, is create my script, then open the rom file and then compile it - but so far, no matter what I try, it won't make the freakin changes! If I could get Birch to give me the national dex right off I'd settle for that... if I could get that stupid scientist to give me the national dex I'd be a happy camper - HELL, I'd even take it from May. I'm not experienced enough to make my own script but since it won't even save my edits I'm at my whits end...

Could anyone here help?

Theres already a hack for this. Its called Emerald 386, use google to find it. Are you able to compile, does it come up with the log or is it coming up with an error message?

 

[2Scribble]

I know there already is (technically speaking there are four '368' hacks for Emerald - none have what I want) I was hoping to learn how to do this myself as I've been stalking around this forum for close onto five years now and have gained a smattering of knowledge that I'd like to put to use.

There is no error message and it comes up with a log

The professors script is quite large and there is a possibility that editing it could cause problems in the game. Why not add an NPC? It'd be a really simple script:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1000
if 0x1 goto @done
message @hello
boxset 0x6
special 0x1F3
setflag 0x1000
message @d
boxset 0x6
release
end

#org @done
message @d
boxset 0x6
release
end

#org @d
= There you go! All done!

#org @hello
= Here, let me upgrade your PokeDex!

If you really want to edit it make sure you change the offset of the script you are adding special 0x1f3 to. For example if you had

#org 0x80800000
...
....
end

you would need to make it

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @new
...
special 0x1f3
....
end

I'll give it a try, creating scrips hasn't been my problem - its getting them to SAVE to the rom that's been difficult.

I've done it just like I was told every time.

1. Make sure the script you want to compile is open in XSE.

2. Go into the "File" menu and click "Open...", select the ROM you want to compile the script into.

3. Then click the Compile button , and that's it. Your script is comiled into your ROM.

But - when I start the rom or look at it from AdvanceMaps - no changes have been made

You can't edit it directly. You need to change those static offsets in to dynamic ones. I've made some changes to the script as well.

Well, you have to change the script offset for that person too. If you've done that, then the problem could be that you're rom is set to read-only.

what are static offsets
and what changes have ou made?

Every script that I compile comes out like this:

Does anyone know how to fix it?

I really need an answer to this because I really need it fixed for my hack...:(

 

[Hiche..]

I really need an answer to this because I really need it fixed for my hack...:(

You tried it like this?

#org $begin

boxset 0x3
end

#org $sign
$sign 1 = \v\h01's House

If your XP isn't an English one,try this before you use any script programs:
1.open Control Panel
2.go to the Language and Regional Options
3.set them to English(US)
4.maybe you should restart your XP
5.now,start your scripting.
By the way,you'd better turn off all the rest programs.


This is what I did when I got that problem.

It's not because of the scripts because I tried it in every way... But thanks anyway..

But then my clock will stand on english and I don't only use this computer so the time can't be in english :( (Isn't there any other way to fix it???)
