Can anyone show me how to use the Yes/No box in script?

Spoiler:

Zolt, if you're reading this, I just want to see if your method is like the method that is appopriate for XSE 1.1.1. :)

...
msgbox @1 0x5
compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
compare lastresult 0x0
if 0x1 goto @no
...

#org @yes
msgbox @2 0x6
...

#org @no
msgbox @3 0x6
...

#org @1
= Yes, or no?

#org @2
= You said yes!

#org @3
= You said no...

I remember not seeing it there, or I'm just lazy to search? <.<

The things it calls to are a simple movement step, not the events I'm looking for.
What I mean by lacking confidence is that I'm bad at making scripts from scratch. It's easier and manageable to take the structure of an existing script and change what I want changed. Existing scripts have proper structure and acts as training wheels I can lean on when I don't know how to do what they do. Thing about that is existing scripts use flags and effects that trigger the others. If I get rid of one without knowing the consequences, I risk making any others nonfunctional. So I keep what I don't know as is. That's why I want to find the TV script and edit that rather than make my own. The clock script already leads to it, so I have to go from there. The problem is finding the thing.

goto 0x81B68E6

that's in the script. I fyou open that in xse, chances are you'll get the script you're looking for.
Also, learn how to script from scratch, it's thw whole point of scripting anyways, also gamefreak's scripting is messy and has a lot of unnecessary stuff, if you don't make your scripts from scratch, your hack will be awful like DR series

I'm assuming you're using XSE, if not, you're doing it wrong.

#org @no

end

#org @yes
msgbox @3 0x6

#org @1
Yes or No?

#org @2
No.

#org @3
Yes.

As you can see, the offset 81B68E6 is the script when you first enter the house. I'm looking for the one when your mother drags you to the TV right after setting your clock. Apparently this level script is what triggers that, but I don't see that part of the script here. I do plan on building my own scripts from scratch eventually, like I said, I'm using existing scripts as training wheels for structure until I can make my own without problems.

Other yes no script

You guys are using too much wording.

#org @event
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @talk 0x5
compare LASTRESULT if 0x1
goto @yesevent
msgbox @no 0x6
release
end

#org @yesevent
msgbox @yes 0x6
release
end

#org @talk
= Want my cheetos?

#org @no
= Your loss, ignoramus!!!

#org @yes
= Hehe, too bad. Sucker!!!

There are many other scripts in the game why not just look for a different script besides this one that you are wasting too much time on? Go look for something like where the female hero walks to you when you touch her pokeball ... it's the same concept just use 0xFF for the movement.

 

[Danny0317]

I really suggest you make your own scripts, right now you say you're not confident in your scripting abilities, so I suggest just making a rom for testing stuff until you get used to scripting and get confident with it. Trust me, it'll be much better.

 

[U.Flame]

I appreciate the advice, but I think I'm doing fine at the moment. I'm almost ready to script on my own. Just getting through the beginning. The reason I'm looking for the script is simply because the clock script leads right to it without a break.

Any help? I can't seem to find the correct .dll Sappy needs. Or is there a more updated version of the tool for Windows XP?
(My home PC died, so I couldn't play with music hacking. :/)

Sappy should have an installer that comes with it that has all the needed files (including .dll files). Have you tried running that?

The oldest version of Sappy is an installer. My tutorial has a link to here

Run that, it'll install everything sappy needs to run. However, this is a very bad version of sappy, so delete everything except mid2agb.exe and use the newest sappy here

Also, an xml for you if you need it (It also has a few extra roms' songs like mystery dungeon, etc.) here

That should fix the error, ensure you're latest on versions, can compile, and have a romlist for you if you did everything right :D

In your face down movement, you didn't put #raw 0xFE after. (also, pls, capitalize that "ey")

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start

faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x5
compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x0 goto @no
if 0x1 goto @yes

#org @no
msgbox @2 0x6
release
end

#org @yes
msgbox @3 0x6
release
end

#org @1
Yes or No?

#org @2
No.

#org @3
Yes.

Alternately, and better in my opinion, you can do this:

compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x1 goto @yes
~~and then the no continues here, without you having to goto~~

instead of this:

compare lastresult 0x1
if 0x0 goto @no
if 0x1 goto @yes

They both work, but the other saves a lil bit more space.

Okay, so anyone know if there's a way to control trainer's pokemon happiness?

Anyone know a patch or a script on how to make, when you battle with trainers, the player face the challenger?

How would I make it so it would only appear after beating the Elite 4?

Is there a text editor tool available for OS X (preferably working with gen III) or am I wasting my time looking for one?

 

[Chronosplit]

Oh, I didn't notice this thread when I made one asking my question. Sorry! Here's what I had asked:

Quick, dumb question: I was wondering how possible it is to expand or alter what Pokemon are in the Regional Dex in FireRed? For example, say I wanted to change the RD to feature instead of the first 151 their Gen 3 counterparts without changing their numbering in the National Dex, or wanted to add in Crobat to a 152nd space.

Is this possible and how is it done and/or is there a research thread or tutorial about it?

Not many tools are available for OSX, however I'm pretty sure a lot of them will run well under wineskin.

Once you beat all the elite 4 members, set a flag. Then add a checkflag for that flag and if it's set, continue on with the event.

You'd have to add a ton of asm to read a regional dex table, since the regional dex only reads the first 151. You'd have to actually hack a lot of the reads the game does.
