Well, I've been having trouble making even the simplest Script at the 'Script Offset' in the Advance Map to work.
I think I followed all instructions properly.

Anyway, I'm gona list down what i did.

- Downloaded PokeScript and PkmAdv
- Opened Notepad and started writing this:

#org $simple
lock
faceplayer
message $example
$example 1 = Hello! I need Help!
boxset 6
release
end

- Yeah, so.. I compiled it.
- BufRite came out.

- File > Destination > (Picked my ROM)
- Click that Book.
- Clicked that Tourch Light thingy
- Click the first code given
- Assigned it
- Got the code.

- Opened AdvanceMap
- Opened my ROM, Picked a Map
- Click the Event Tab
- Made a 'Person Event'

- Pasted that code to the Script Offset (800xxx)
- So, the Script Offset looks like [$800xxx]

Now the problem is...

Whenever i click Open Script, an error box comes out

-------------------------
Error
- No script editor defined.
-------------------------

I don't get it! I need help..:cer_frown:

I suggest using XSE, but all you have to do is, on Advance Map, goto Settings >> Choose Script Editor. Then select PokéScript's .exe file. Should work.

PokéScript can't decompile scripts, though. I might not even have command-line support.

Hello, I have just a question about XSE's script compiler.
Pardon me for being a noob. I'm experienced in many other coding languages, but new to scripting in XSE.

Is it normal that my XSE creates so many different offsets after the script is compiled into my ROM?

Before Compilation:

Code:

#dynamic 0x26D37C
#org @start
lock
msgbox @1 0x6
applymovement 0xFF @move
release
end

#org @1
= >> It seems your head\nis still a little shakey\lfrom the fall.

#org @move
#raw 0x64

After Compilaton:

Code:

#org 0x26D37C
lock
msgbox 0x826D38F MSG_NORMAL '">> It seems your head\nis ..."
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x826D3D4
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x26D38F
= >> It seems your head\nis still a little shakey \lfrom the fall.


'-----------
' Movements
'-----------
#org 0x26D3D4
#raw 0x64 'Cross (X)

I went from 1 offset to 3 offsets. I just want to know if this is normal before I go using up a bunch of space/offsets per code.

Again, sorry for being a n00b. Dx
I just want to be sure this is right.

It's fine, it's just replaced the dynamic labels with proper offsets. A word of advice though, use offsets over 0x800000, your offset may have been part of something important in the ROM. :\ Also, you need the waitmovement command after applymovement to pause the script long enough for the movements to take place.

What happened is that the @1 or @move are dynamic labels. That means that, when compiled, XSE looks for a free memory space with that exact value and place them there. After compiled, it shows you where they were stored. That is where the offsets came from.
Also, your movement data (@move) is missing the terminator byte (#raw 0xFE), that will cause the script to move your character endlessly until it finds one.
To end, one very useful feature at XSe is that it shows you, commented, the string that will be printed on screen(or part of it) in front of the msgbox command. Do you want >> to start your sentence?

Thanks for your response. I went looking for free space in FSF from the beginning of the game.
I suppose from now on I should be searching 0x800000 onward.

And that waitmovement also explains why no applymovement occured when testing the script. So thank you for telling me this as well. :)

I see, Thank you for explaining that to me too!
Yes, I wanted the >> to start the sentence as a notification that it's your character thinking to him/herself. Which I know I have to use \hEF in order to place those in the message box.

You're both a big help, thanks again.

@ ChaosHacker22: Uhh, what's wrong with it? I think all you need to do is replace the offset to '0x800000' to be on the safe side. 'Kay? Also, if it's a script event, be sure to set the first unknown value to '0300' and the variable number to '4050'. Hope I helped.

Please avoid giving false info. The first Unknown value should be 0003, and not 0300. That's why you write 4050 and not 5040, as the old AM wrongly showed. Besides, it's not a script event, but part of a level script. Either way, replacing the offset wouldn't help. Fact is posting a script isn't enough if you don't specify what's wrong with it.

I would like to hack using emerald and ruby, but the hard thing is i dont understand the movement commands :O. They aren't as clear as fire red where its run left, walk right etc...

Can someone explain what happened to me here?

Code:

'-----------------------
#org 0x71A4A8
msgbox 0x871A4B2 '"Mayor's House.Ù á  ÂÀÂÚ ß          ..."
callstd 0x3
end


'---------

'---------
#org 0x71A4B2
= Mayor's House.Ù á  ÂÀÂÚ ß          À ÀF3\h71ËF3\h71ËN3\h71ËN3\h71Ë

It's supposed to be the way it is, but without all the gibberish(It used to work just fine, I just noticed it right now, when I was about to test something else). Did I put something else over it? If not, what could have happened? Is it safe to just delete the extra stuff, or should I repoint the message?

Haku. · Sep 17, 2009

Umm slg can you post the original one so i can look at it?
and Fan king i think down0 is face down and down1 is slow, down2 is normal and down3 is 2 step down and down4 is fast i think try playing with it until you get it

slg388 · Sep 17, 2009

Do you mean this one?(The one below is the one I had saved, so I must have changed boxset 3 to callstd 0x3 before I compiled it)

Code:

#dynamic 0x71A3CC

#org @start
msgbox @mayor
boxset 3
end

#org @mayor
= Mayor's House

Haku. · Sep 17, 2009

try not to use boxset 3

try this

Spoiler:

Thats for XSE

And are you using XSE if not then i think the script i just posted it only for XSE
