Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

Yes, that's all done correctly. I just re-did it so as to ensure. I was reading that it could have something to do with a bad rom file? When I compile the script and press the copy button, do I have to press save? When I do it asks to save something like a log file or a rubix cube file or something. I don't think I have to do any of that, do I?

Nah, no need to click that Save button.
Anyway, try your script in a clean ROM and see if it'll work.

I have. Could I be downloading bad roms? After the initial failure, I wiped the ROM files that I touched and downloaded them again from the website. When it failed again, I downloaded Leaf Green as opposed to Fire Red and it didn't change anything. When you told me to double-check I loaded the proper ROM, I again wiped the files and re-downloaded them, this time renaming it so as to keep track of it. Anyway, I downloaded both of the ROMs from the same website, if it could have something to do with them being bad ROMs.

Hey.
Looking at what you have said here, I think I know your problem. It used to happen to me. When you compile the script, do not press copy and then paste it in, type it in manually using the code given. I know it sounds quite silly but it happened to me when I first started, for some reason, when I pasted it after copying the code, it pasted multiple times until the field was full.
So if the code was 07FX56 and I pasted it in using the copy button from XSE, it would appear something like 07FX5607FX. It was just pasting it and then pasting the start of it again.
If you manually type it from now on, you should not get this error.

We already discovered the problem: Advance Map 1.95.
I suggested that he use A-Map 1.92 and his scripts were working now.

Ahh okay, I didn't know. :P

I don't really understand what the problem with advance map 1.95 is?
That's the one I use and it word fine for me.
 
I have a problem that I hope someone can solve. Whenever I compile everything into my ROM, all of the added player events scripts never pop up. I hear the "Ding" that I pressed the A button but nothing happens. All of the scripts that were already in the game that I modified work, but none of the new scripts. Can anyone help me out?
 
There might be something wrong with the scripts you're using, either that or your ROM is corrupted... Else I'm not sure right now, could I see one of the scripts you use?

Can you let us see your script first?

compare LASTRESULT 0x1 (listed in the givepokemon script) doesn't appear to function properly. Here is the script i am trying to make:

'---------------
#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
msgbox @content 0x6
msgbox @confirm 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 call @obtain
else goto @end

#org @obtain
givepokemon 0x4 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @3 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
setflag 0x828
msgbox @4 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 call @name
release
end

#org @end
msgbox @fail 0x6
release
end

#org @3
= You obtained a Charmander!

#org @4
= [black_fr]Would you like to give a\nnickname to Charmander?

#org @name
call 0x1A74EB
return

#org @content
= This Pok\h1Bball contains a Charmander.

#org @confirm
= Will you choose Charmander?

#org @fail
= You cannot take any more.

It is supposed to function similar to the pokeballs in oak's lab but it keeps giving me an error.
 
I think I have my script set up right, I'm using XSE:
Code: 
#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
message @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Script made\nby SoulReturns!
But I believe my problem lies in AdvanceMap; I chose XSE as my script editor, copied the "$000000" code in (mine was $800000), added a new event in the form of a player...

What my AdvanceMap looks like:
Spoiler:


What my XSE looks like:
Spoiler:


When I start the game, I get an unaffected Pallet Town. However when I tried changing the behavior of some of the already-existing NPC's, this change was reflected in the game (albeit a bit buggy).

Like I said I think I understand most of the code stuff. Just not sure how to make what I do appear :/ Or I have some fatal mistake and I'm living an illusion that I know how to do this. Lol.

Thanks for the help!

Try again with a clean ROM, and use Advance Map 1.92 (download link) instead of 1.95...
 
Hello and many thanx for the tutorials :)

I have a little problem that I have tried many different ways to solve it but I was unable to do so.

To my problem. I have this normal wildbattle script:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
cry 0x96 0x0
msgbox @talk1 0x6
wildbattle 0x96 0x5 0x0
fadescreen 1
hidesprite 0x800F
fadescreen 0
setflag 0x1201
release
end

#org @talk1
= Prepare for your destiny!



The script works perfectly as it. My problem is that I want to change the music of the battle. The pokemon in the scrip is MewTwo and I want to make a script for a legendary battle. But no matter what I have tried I cant make it to play the legendary music.

I did decompile the original firered MewTwo battlescript n the command for the legendary battle music which is named Encounter 4 if I remember in the rom is: playsong 0x156 0x0. But I cant get it to work. I have tried to put the line after the msgbox, it didnt work. After the wildbattle command, again it didnt work. The music remained to the normal battle. I even tired it as a fanfare but nowthin, all the same. If anyone knows how to do it please reply, I have searched all the tutorials here n on the net I found a couple but they were usin pokescript but ever since I discovered XSE I no longer use pokescript nor I even remember how to use it. Btw here is the full MewTwo battlescrip in case it helps to figure out what I am doin wrong n what I'm supposed to do.

WOW! THAT'S A VERY LONG POST! :D
Well, the details are all clear and understandable.
Nice post bro! This helps me a lot. :D
Hey, by the way, I'm also making my own hacked game. :D

Use Cyclone instead :) It's easier when it comes to creating wild battles.
