    I've heard that someone can use XSE to get night and day in Firered adn or leafgreen. Is this possible or is this a rumor? If it is possible has it been dun before?

    • @hockeypanda32 - is the map bank, map number, and warp number in hex?

    @KanouKono - You can't, there's no such thing. Day and Night can only be achieved by ASM.

    • You cant use a normal script to make a day night system in FireRed.
    The only way, of which I know, is to use a level script in every single map, which would of worked like thethethethe's weather script, but the day and night would go by too fast, and it would require too much space. People just need to give up on this until someone can figure out a way to input a real time clock into FireRed. Which so far doesnt exist.

    • Hockeypanda:

    You'll need to convert it to hex if you put 0x infront of it.
    17 should be 0x11. I think Advance Map has is in decimal, if not, im wrong. Try it anyways though.

    Psyduck007:

    Why did you add a nop? It doesnt mean anything.
    Also, there must be something wrong with your command if it says that.
    Try this:

    Code: 
    startwildbattle 0x82 0x1E 0x0

    Instead of wildbattle, remember XSE has some differences to other scripting programs.

    and which warp?

    but this should work:
    warp 0x3 0x13 0xFF 0x6 0x11
    Click to expand...
    remember the values should be in hex, use XSE's built in calculator to find the values.

    Line: wildbattle 130 30 1

    wildbattle is a construct, why don't you check the database to see what's wrong, but, I think you're trying to use this:
    startwildbattle 0xPK 0xLV 0xItem

    • My earlier script, that I tried jsut had a girl saying "Hey, how are you?"
    Now I tried to make one that gave you a Pikachu then asked how the Pikachu was...
    I clicked open script in advance map and opened the old script in XSE
    Code: 
    '-----------------------
#org 0x3B4D84
lock
faceplayer
msgbox2 0x8456734 '"Hey! How are you?"
callstd 0x6
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x456734
= Hey! How are you?

    That one works, I had the offset in XSE as 3B4D84 and comiled it into Fire Red

    Now my new script is

    Code: 
    '-----------------------
#Dynamic 0x3B4D84

#org @Talk
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x910
if b_true goto @Speak
message @message
givepokemon 0x19 0xA 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x910
release
end

#org @Speak
message @Pika
boxset 0x6
release
end

#org @message
= Here, this pikachu\nIs lonely.\nYou take it.

#org @Pika
= How is the Pikachu?

    I deleted the old script, and wrote this one in. It doesn't have any errors in it that I know of as it gives me this
    Code:

    BUT when I close it and go into advance map and reopen the script it still has the first one...and ingame all she says is "Hey, how are you?"
    :/ I get this whenever I use #Dynamic 0xOffset
    If I start it with #org 0xOffset it works BUT I can't use stuff like #org @message I have to use other offsets :/

    notice the dynamics in each you are using the same hex, use a free space finder and change yours, that is what is happening

    • Thanks, but what If I'm trying to replace the first script? Which is what I am trying. Why can't it have the same offset, and replace the older one?

    Also I found that offset in fsf, and used it in my first script, that was practically the one in the tutorial and it had the same problem until I made it like the first script in my post there.

    Oki, I changed the offset of the script, and the offset of the event's script in advance map to 71A794 and it works :)

    So how do I replace scripts offsets? :/

    Also the with the script, she always says "How's Pikachu?" :/ What'd I do wrong there? :P

    In a hex editor totally clean up the hex manually then if you want to overwrite it! Close XSE after and reopen, then compile

    Thanks :D I had sooooooo much problems with this. Tried rescripting it a bazillion times :P
    Now I have another problem
    Code: 
    '-----------------------
#org 0x71A794
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x910
if 0x1 goto 0x871A7BA
msgbox 0x871A7C5 '"Here, this pikachu\nIs lonely.\nYou..."
givepokemon 0x19 0xA 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x910
release
end

'-----------------------
#org 0x71A7BA
msgbox 0x871A7F3 '"How is the Pikachu?"
callstd 0x6
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x71A7C5
= Here, this pikachu\nIs lonely.\nYou take it.

#org 0x71A7F3
= How is the Pikachu?

    I think The proglem lies in this part...not sure though.
    Code: 
    #org 0x71A794
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x910
if 0x1 goto 0x871A7BA
msgbox 0x871A7C5 '"Here, this pikachu\nIs lonely.\nYou..."
givepokemon 0x19 0xA 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x910
release
end
    Whether I make the if 0x1 or 0x0 she still says "How's the pikachu?" From the begining and never gives it to you. :(

    Code: 
    #org @Talk
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x910
checkflag 0x910
if b_true goto @Speak
message @message
givepokemon 0x19 0xA 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
setflag 0x910
release
end

    Is the same section not compiled.

    You can use the Erase Function. It is set out like this:
    Code: 
    #Dynamic 0x800000
#Erase 0x812345 0xFF

    Just change "0x812345" to the location where your script starts, and also change "0xFF" to how many bytes you want to erase. Hope that helped.

    I will edit later and answer the other questions...

    I guess I'm in the wrong section. This'll do later as I script more but is it possible for anyone to help me navigate to the ASM hack tool or to a tutorial because I can't find one. All thanks is aprreciated and sorry for the clueless spamming.

    • How many more commands are in here than in Poke script?Also, are they important commands?
    Click to expand...

    @yunghove - check the features, XSE has nearly all included though not all uses have been found, but the fact is pokewitch only had 2-5 new commands while XSE outweighs it. Yes, all commands are important, without which the game won't run proper and you won't be able to script.

    @KanouKono - There's no such thing is a specific ASM tool, as ASM itself is unspecific, all you need is a emulator with builtin debugger(VBA-SDL-H), disassembler(VBA has one), assembler(GoldRoad, Devkit Adv, etc) and some knowledge on ASM. Then you fiddle around with it, find stuff amd modifiy it to your desire. There aren't much tutorials on ASM, google it or something, PHO has some.

    There are a lot of very in-depth tutorials on ASM. It's just up to you to gain a decent enough understanding to apply it to roms. The Dark Alliance is a good place to learn basic ASM, and more complicated...Most people who know ASM well, apply their knowkledge in diffrent areas so yeh. Also Cheat engine and it's tutorial are a good place to start. Cheat engine is a memory scanner, that uses ASM. (Some AV's scan it as a trojan -_-. The site warns you).
    It's just up to you to learn the basics, then apply em in roms. Btw ASM is not reccomended for a first language :)
