[Script] Everytime I compile a script, my GBA file gets bigger

[Jehowi]

I have started to notice that each time I compile a script, my GBA file gets A LOT bigger. Like, in an hour it went from 32 MB to 76 MB. I'm afraid I'm breaking the game. Is there anything I can do about it?

 

[Phantom Phoenix]

I never heard about this problem . But be more specific.
1. What script editor you are using ? Xse or PKSV?
2. What ROM you are using ?
3. And show an example script . ( Which after compiling made the ROM bigger )

 

[Jehowi]

1. I'm using pksvui
2. I'm using a fire red rom
3. here's an example script that's not working yet because i'm doing something wrong (note: the raw things appeared after compiling):

Switch to XSE.

 

[Jehowi]

Switch to XSE.

Would if I could. I stopped using XSE because it stopped being able to read the simplest commands. While checking my script, it'd say things like: 'Unknown Keyword: msgbox', and stop compiling my script altogether. Of course msgbox is a very simple and well known keyword. There's no solution online for this problem. It just doesn't recognize it. If i cannot use msgbox, there's no point in using XSE. I also tried using message and other stuff, but it just doesn't work.

I think that the error must be from the script editor, as it was said, you should change to XSE, but as you said, XSE also stopped working for me when reading the commands but I think that that XSE error must be from the download as I tried downloading an unofficial version of it and it worked.

 

[Jehowi]

I download XSE again, still not working. It barely recognizes any command.

Anyway, that's not the problem right now. I had backups from my game, so I could recover from the possibly fatal errors. I almost got the script running. Everything works fine, up until the point I hand over the HYPER POTION. The text message: "You gave the HYPER POTION to the old man" appears, but after that it immediately shows the OBTAIN TM3 message instead of showing the messagebox: "Thanks, kid..." . What Am I doing wrong that it skips on that messagebox?

Here's the script:
