    score_under, do you plan on releasing PKSV (the command‐line version, at least) for Linux and similar operating systems? I hear it works with Wine, but that option isn't available for all platforms, including mine.

    PKSV has a SVN repository - if you get the source code from there, you should be able to compile it with little problem.

    If you do run into a problem, tell me.

    I've also now compiled a new version of PKSV, look at the decompile dialog ;) So much improvement it's not even funny, haha... also, the AssociateShell.bat bug has been fixed.

    Chinese version is lagging behind in resources (seriously!), so moved that into "mlpksvui.exe" instead of the main "pksvui.exe".

    Code:

#include <stdio.h>

HANDLE LogFile;
#include "pokedef.h"
#include "golddef.h"
#include "textproc.h"
…
    A lot of code uses it as well.

    Hehe, I could have sworn I removed that...

    Ah yes, you have to compile pksv2.c, not pksv.c... sorry.

    Turns out I was using an old version anyway. Just checked out version 2.0.4 from the SVN, and got these results:

    • Okay, NOT my lucky day :P I forgot to add one of the files to the SVN - will do that now.

    EDIT-Done. Tell me if I missed yet more XD

    • They're pretty much strictly fixed, but here they are:
    Code: 
    pksv -e ScriptFile.txt RomFile.gba        -- Debug compile
pksv -r ScriptFile.txt RomFile.gba        -- Compile
pksv RomFile.gba HexOffset OutputFile.txt -- Decompile
    Yes, this means that before I used a DLL, PKSVUI would just read the file, "_d_.pks.tmp"... :P

    Even though you compiled it as command-line, I've done as much as I can to make it work just as well as PKSV in Windows (dynamic offsets, THUMB, pokemarts ...)

    EDIT: - Slightly unrelated ;) This script will work in the soon-to-come v2.0.5, it's a slightly modified version of the "move-to-place" script I mentioned earlier:

    Then it turned into this after i compiled it
    Click to expand...

    5 problems with that code:

    • 0x9999 is not a valid flag, if I recall correctly. Try 0x200, 0x500, 0x250, or something similar.
    • Your #orgs are too close together - first erase the script by replacing all #org with #eorg and compiling the original script, then replace all #eorg with #org again and use dynamic offsets instead.
    • You're missing an "end" after the setflag
    • He says "Please take it away" if you talk to him *after* you take it away.
    • No Lock/Faceplayer/Release


    The script to erase your current script:
    Code: 
    #[B]eorg [/B]0x8800638
'-----------------------------------
checkflag 0x9999
if 0x1 jump 0x88006F6 ' Equal To
msgbox 0x8800657 ' I found this helples...
callstd MSG_NORMAL ' Normal message
addpokemon 0x4 0xB 0x0 0x0 0xF000000 0xC300C300
setflag 0x9999

#[B]eorg [/B]0x88006F6
'-----------------------------------
msgbox 0x88006FF ' Please take it away.
callstd MSG_NORMAL ' Normal message
end


#[B]eorg [/B]0x8800657
= take this Charmander.

#[B]eorg [/B]0x88006FF
= Please take it away.
    The script with dynamic offsets:
    Code: 
    [B]#dynamic 0x800000[/B]
#org [B]@start[/B]
'-----------------------------------
[B]lock
faceplayer[/B]
checkflag 0x251
if true jump [B]@already-have[/B]
msgbox [B]@take-this[/B]
callstd MSG_NORMAL
addpokemon CHARMANDER 0xB 0x0 0x0 [B]0x0000000 0x00000000[/B]
setflag 0x251
[B]release[/B]
[B]end[/B]

#org [B]@already-have[/B]
'-----------------------------------
msgbox [B]@take-it-away[/B]
callstd MSG_NORMAL
[B]release[/B]
end


#org [B]@take-this[/B]
= take this Charmander.

#org [B]@take-it-away[/B]
= Please take it away.
    Notice that you can also use "CHARMANDER" in "addpokemon".

    It would be better if you checked if you had enough party space first, and changed the "Please take it away" message to "How's my CHARMANDER doing?" or something.
    If this is the first pokémon you get in the game, you have to add another setflag, "setflag FR_POKEMON" (if you're hacking fire red) or "setflag RS_POKEMON" (if you're hacking R/S). This tells the game that you are allowed to access the "Pokémon" item on the pause menu.

    It might be a good idea to make these display when run with no arguments (or --help). Also, the program segfaults when called with any fewer arguments—you might want to fix that. A -v flag for checking the version would be nice too.

    I do prefer the command‐line version, because I already have a text editor. :P

    You mentioned THUMB—are you planning support for GB‐Z80 in the future?

    No, I was only planning to implement THUMB and ARM. Would it be desirable to implement GB-Z80?
    Oh, and the SVN source supports the ":label" syntax already ;)

    Make sure that it's either using a clean offset or a #dynamic offset, and then load it and the ROM into the script editor (you can do both via drag'n'drop) then press F9 inside PKSV.

    Thx
    How can i figure the flag number of my pokemon out?

    When i press F9 it shows this text:

    Opened file.
    #ORG
    -> 0x0
    CHECKFLAG
    -> 0x800
    IF
    Unknown value in IF (Value must be integer)
