[Script✓] Running Shoes script in Emerald not working

It's what it says. Basically, I don't know what's wrong, but the player just can't run afterwards. I'm not sure what's wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My script is this:
#dynamic 0x481DD4

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x8C0
if 0x1 goto @gotten
checkgender
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 goto @girl
goto @boy

#org @gotten
msgbox @highway50 0x6
release
end

#org @girl
msgbox @highway48 0x6
setflag 0x8C0
release
end

#org @boy
msgbox @highway49 0x6
setflag 0x8C0
release
end

#org @highway48
= Yo dudette want some shoes?\pYOU: I-\pPERSON: Say no more.\p(You obtained the running shoes!)

#org @highway49
= Yo dude want some shoes?\pYOU: I-\pPERSON: Say no more.\p(You obtained the running shoes!)

#org @highway50
= How are those shoes treating you?\pYOU: I have five blisters.\pPERSON: No you don't.\pYOU: Actually I don't,\nyou're right.\pI was just saying that to be mean.\pPERSON: You need to learn how to\naccept gifts.\pYOU: Well it wasn't so much a\ngift as a shoving off onto.\pPERSON: That phrase was dumb,\nbut you're welcome.

How are you implementing the script? It could just not be running properly due to some reason or another.

Okay I'm coming back to this finally to say that I just fiddled with the map type or whatever it's called; I changed it to 'show village names' and it worked. So I guess that was it.
