thethethethe's Scripting Tutorial

Da GaMeFrEaK · Jul 24, 2009

Just out of randomness, I plan on hacking the very first script in FR (You know, At the very beginning, right after you hit "New game"). The problem is, I don't know if there is any possible way I can do this. Is there?

ianmichael7 · Jul 31, 2009

I need to ask... what is the special code to activate the pokedex in pokemon emerald?

rockeymon · Aug 7, 2009

I just created a test script to see if I was making it right and was wondering what I was doing wrong (it tells me all all of the commands dont exist)
Here is a list of how i insert it.
1.) I create the script according to what the tutorial said to do
2.) I open up pokewitch/script
3.) I click on the files tab and click on Encode
4.) I Click on My file Named Mom Script.RBC
5.) I open it and get all of the command errors

Heres the script
#org $strat
lock
faceplayer
Message $1
boxset 6
release
end

#org $11
$1 1 =hi.\nMom: Hey\v\h01!\ How are you doing?\p\v\h01\ : I am doing fine

SiegHart · Oct 16, 2009

hmm so i have a question, the part in the tutorial about applymovement commands has images that dont work...

Okay, I'm also going to ask you to compile the script, assign it to an event and not a person, and test it in the rom. Then look at this spoiler.
Spoiler:
Didn't work, did it? Froze on the spot. You're going to need to change this...

to this....

Try it now. Worked perfectly, didn't it?

what is it we are supposed to do to make it work?

... nvm that last part
instead i need help with this

Spoiler:

im trying to set it so as soon as i walk outside the house it activates, the little girl then says the #org $1, then performs #org $move, and then she asks #org $2..
i set it as a script offset for the girl and it works except for the fact that it only works if i walk up to her and ask about it, but i want it to activate as soon as i step outside.. any help?

Spoiler:

I made a video of what happens currently ^

ooo one last edit xD, i solved it, diegoisawesome i guess had permission to repost this tutorial and the pics that were missing worked on his post, now i just gotta continue building off of it =D

OK, I ran into some major glitches with this code. It's supposed to have a lady walk up to you and give you a evee. Here it is.

Orlando · Nov 26, 2009

Hey thethethethe, on the part where you are talking about applymovement scripts, at the end you said, "Okay, I'm also going to ask you to compile the script, assign it to an event and not a person, and test it in the rom. Then look at this spoiler." All of my applymovements have always froze on those event scripts. I open the spoiler and all it says is: "Didn't work, did it? Froze on the spot. You're going to need to change this...

to this....

Try it now. Worked perfectly, didn't it?"

That's all it really says. It doesn't show any pictures of anything. Any ideas?

Change the unknown values of the script tile to 03 and chnage the var number to 4050.

Why, and what do i need to fix?

I pretty much copied exactly from THETHETHETHE's examples!

Jemzx · Dec 20, 2009

supersmashbros · May 7, 2010

hi i have the same problem

derv1205 said:
Hi dude, i made this for the ASM Script:
First, script:

Code:

#org $start callasm 0x71B7A0 #raw 0x00 wildbattle 0x82 0x1E 0x0 special 0x138 pause 0x101 callasm 0x71B7A0 end

And in the Hex Editor (I use HexWorkShop)
...

So...what's going on =S When i talk to the guy or the pokemon that has to battle, the
game freezes...[/QUOTE]

adam60961 · May 16, 2010

Can somebody please help me? I made a script box and I put a script like this in it...

#org $start
jingle
hidesprite 8
setflag 0x108
setvar 0x4036 0x0001
release
end

But, eveytime I step on it, It doesn't do anything!!! What can I do to make this work?! Is the script itself wrong?!

Ruzzle · May 17, 2010

IF
Unknown value in IF (Value must be integer)

I get this error when i copy the pokemon give script, (fire red rom)
Whats wrong?

IF
Unknown value in IF (Value must be integer)

I get this error message at the Pokemon Give script on Fire red,
Can someone please help me?

humanguy2000 · May 25, 2010

This tutorial really helps me!
...But I have a quick question about the wildbattle command. What would I do to make the Pokémon shiny and have the Deoxys battle theme? I de-compiled the Deoxys script and there wasn't a wildbattle command. Just a special.
Anyway, this is going to help me a lot if I get stuck in scripting!

Get your hands on a program like shinyzer (See hackmew's tools) and call the asm offset provided by the program.

As for the music, the Deoxys battle theme is assigned to Deoxys itself, not the script. There's an ASM routine written by Mastermind_X somewhere on the internet (I need to google it again myself, I'll VM you if I can find it) that can change battle music.

humanguy2000 · May 26, 2010

Ok. That should help me with the music change.
I used a code on my emulator to catch Rayquaza in ruby, but it had normal music. Doesn't really matter. Thanks for the help.
Um...
