Gold scripting - Tutorials/Commands

cooley · May 12, 2008

Code:

1. Using my tool, Megamap in the Toolbox. It will give you the Pointer though, just get the offset through A-point. I was so kind, I did it for you! Sudowoodo Pointer: 4BAA61 Sudowoodo Offset: 12E1AA

2. You shouldn't change the people numbers through Gold map, you should try hex. And maybe a bit of Pksprite (overworld editor)

3. There is no flags tutorial, but I can teach you.

If you've ever hacked Firered/Leafgreen before, then you'll see that it is the same as Gold.

Firered:
checkflag 0x200
if 0x1 goto $pointer -----If it has been set then goto another pointer
...... -----If it hasn't then continue with the script
......
setflag 0x200 ------Set the flag, so that next time it can be checked, and won't happen again.
end

Gold:
31 10 00 09 xx xx ....... 33 10 00 90

31 = Check for flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

09 = Ram Check [2]
' 09 means "if yes" and 08 means "If no"

33 = Set a flag
'requires 2 bytes which are the flag numbers

90 = End script
'No parameters required

xx xx = Pointer to another script

10 00 = Flag ID you can use an flag you wish, but the numbers are reverse hex. 0010 = 1000 in-game. 1000 = 0010 in-game, etc.

....... = Script

That should explain everything, now to add it to the tutorial!

[2] = [FONT=&quot]
[/FONT]

Code:

06-0B RAM checks:                 

   
  06: When [RAM]=byte ...
  07: When [RAM]<>byte ...
  08: When [RAM]=0 ...
  09: When [RAM]<>0 ...
  0A: When [RAM]<byte ...
  0B: When [RAM]>byte ...

Italicized = Command
Underlined = Command parameters

By the way everyone, I updated the First Post with More commands and an Item and Pokemon List.

Enjoy!

thanks, ive not hacked before so its all new to me and i dont have time to take in the flags stuff right now,

is there a reason Megamap's help thing comes up with Zeromap on the help screen and parts of it are written in german :S

i've added your msn btw :)

It does that because Megamap is an incomplete translation of a German tool called Zeromap. <_<

ah ok :)

can someone post a demo script that would make someone say 'Hello!' and give you a bulbasaur?

cooley · May 14, 2008

I have posted both message scripts and Givepokemon scripts, you figure it out now. Anyways, the message would need to point to a pointer in hex within the same bank. I can't do that for you, that's why you would need to do it on your own.

Here's the layout though:
6A 47 4C xx xx 53 49 2D 01 05 00 00 87 90

the 87 is the sound code for the game to play a "got a Pokemon/Item" song after the pokemon is given.

the xx xx is the last 4 bytes of the pointer to the text.

You should insert this text: 00 87 A4 AB AB AE E7 57
then point to the "00"

btw, the Text just means "Hello!" in hex

thanks man, i just needed that because i failed and got opcode errors from it and just got angry with it after 5 attempts

ok...
after doing that i got these -.-
the giving bulbasaur worked though
is my ROM dirty?
could the titlescreen patch affect this in any way?

It looks like you didn't load the font into RAM. Make sure you load the font beforehand, and load moving sprite tiles afterward.

i take it you mean the 47 4C bytes?
i get a fatal error when i try adding that and i get the messed up palette (as seen in the quick questions thread) :S

Also by using the different pointer codes you can actually point to scripts in other banks, and by using 4B instead of 4C to call text, you can use a 3 byte pointer to call text in another bank (These get used in Secrets and Rumours for the nurse at the Trade Center, so I don't have to keep re-entering the same text over and over).

And here is a list of Pic Numbers (in hex). Know that if it is on an outside map, not a cave or indoor map and you use a sprite that is not in that spriteset it will load your picture or a glitch instead. here is the list(NOT found by myself, but by Coolboyman):

Code:

Maybe the issue is that you are not ending the code with a [49][90].

So it would go [47][4C][2-byte Pointers][49][90].

i forgot to post here but i found out (from either Cooley or IIMarckus) that the problem was where i loaded the moving sprites in the script. since then i have moved on and with help from IIMarckus set a flag so there has to be pokeballs at Cherrygrove mart for the fatman to give bulbasaur (meaning Elm has the Egg so the player is about to set out properly).
