[ARCHIVE] Simple Questions (SEARCH BEFORE ASKING A QUESTION)

[redriders180]

Hi again, I hope you don't forget my last question it's really important, I know have another problem T____T;;

In the game there is a cave, and I want to make more maps to make the cave big but when I try to add a map it is added "PALLET TOWN"
Why is this happening? D:

The map has to have a name, so it gives the first one in index, which is Pallet Town. Change it by going to the "Header" tab, clicking the dropdown that says "Pallet Town", and selecting another name. It won't show up as the official name immediately, but hitting F5 will show the change.

ok thx
.but i kinda dont know what do i have to put in advance map so plz explain me the whole process after i write the script

You had the process correct. When inserting the script, just highlight the last six zeroes and paste over it, instead of highlighting all eight.

Right, Ive searched everywhere and I can not find an XSE download that actually works? Most are con methods to get me to download something else and arent actually real, and all the ones on here are broken. I just need to script ONE Gym Leader before I can release the Beta of my game damn it.... thanks :)

If its easier however, a Gym Leader script that works with PokeScript will be fine instead thanks!

Most of the links around here are probably dying, since Megaupload closed down, and other sites are starting to limit downloading. Anyway, but here is a copy of XSE for you. Courtesy of the great Hackmew!

Is there a way to change the starting position at the beginning of the game? So you start in a certain map.

 

[droomph]

Search up "SMCA", and if you're using RSE also search up "Truck Remover".

 

[Rumille]

The problem with SMCA is that I can't seem to set an 'Y'-position. Only the X. What's up with that?

Thing is that the coordinate Y is stored in stack.

To customize the Y coordinate, go to offset 0x054A00 in an hex editor and change the 06 to what you want to be the Y coordinate.

There's nothing wrong with your script, so I can only imagine it's your dynamic.

Always use dynamic 0x800000 (or some people use 0x740000 but the first is easier to remember). Free space finder is redundant, and what you're overwriting may not actually be free space.

If that doesn't work, try decompiling the script (from A-Map) and see if it's the same as the original.

whatcha mean by decompiling.and if i always use 0x800000 how am i gonna write the other scripts i mean they have to have diferent offsets.right?

#dynamic 0x800000 means that XSE will calculate how many bytes you need, search for the free space, and insert it where it will fit. It starts searching at 0x800000, and keeps searching until it finds enough free space, and then puts the script there. Basically, just always put #dynamic 0x800000 at the top, then begin writing the script.

PS: You're compiling a script in a very roundabout fashion. All you need to do is write the script, and hit the button with two gears. (when you mouseover, it says compile). And you don't need to save the script either.

Decompiling is when you open the script from Advance Map, i.e. double clicking the event and opening up its event in XSE.

nad so when i click compile in xse i copy the one that is highlited?

 

[redriders180]

Correct. Just make sure you start at #org 0x800000 always.

 

[pikachuFan50]

Correct. Just make sure you start at #org 0x800000 always.

#org or #dynamic ??????????????????????????????????

 

[redriders180]

#org or #dynamic ??????????????????????????????????

My bad. #dynamic is what you want.

 

[pikachuFan50]

My bad. #dynamic is what you want.

and umm i still don't understand about xse finding free space how am i going to know hwat offset it is?

 

[droomph]

Choose a spot, and #dynamic will find the closest area of free space to that spot for you, so you don't have to worry about that.

POTATO.i suck hahah.what do you mean chose a spot.can u show a pic or sumting.english isnt my native language and im 13.so i dont really understand much

 

[droomph]

So like,

#dynamic 0x800000

means that it will search from offset 0x800000, and from there, it looks for a certain amount of repetitions of a certain byte, usually 0xFF. Once it finds a string of that byte long enough it will compile the script there.

yeah.but what do i write into A-MAP

 

[droomph]

When you compile the script, it will give you a certain offset. You copy that offset over to Amap.

 

[pikachuFan50]

hmm still doesnt work.this is the script

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @talk 0x6
release
end
