[Tool] Changes won't appear in my game

[BurningIgglybuff]

Hi.
I got into Romhacking a short time ago so I'm a bloody beginner but I don't seem to find a answer to the question what to do when your scripts don't work.
In Firered, I tried to make an NPC appear in Pallet Town (the first and easiest task in every video and tutorial) but even though I followed the tutorials step by step, my new encounter didn't happen.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @talk 0x6
release
end

#org @talk
= Hey, how are you? I'm an NPC.

I also followed the steps on Advanced Map.

When I open my copy of Firered, nothing looks different from the base game. I tried downloading and romhacking a new clean copy of firered but it didn't work.

Any ideas? I'm sure that there's a easy solution.

Are you saving? This is a strange error, and I'm not too familiar with xse and advanced map, but when I used it, sometimes I would forget to save.

Check if you actually chose a rom in XSE, and that you are compiling to it. Also, upon conpiling, note down the offset that you get and paste it to the npc in Pallet Town.

Also, try changing the "person event number" if you added a new npc.

You should also set XSE as a default script editor in Advance Map, and there is also a promt where it asks you if the offets are divided by ":' or by ";" I think, if all else fails you can try changing that too.


Edit: It seems like you're using Advance Map 1.95, try switching over to AM 1.92 version, that may also help.

are you opening a new game to check these things, because if you're just continuing from an existing save, nothing already saved will change? as at that point its in the ram.
