Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[onyx79]

I have a priblem,I want to change the script of garry's mother in fire red this is my offset: 800017 (it's a 1 byte offset,found on FSF),now I'm giving her a simple talking script :
#dynamic 0x800017
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @1 0x6
release
end

#org @1
= Hi.\nI'm Blue's mother,have you met him?


this is the script,then I click compile then I'm closing the window,and I open the script again and I see this :

'---------------
#org 0x800017

What's the problem of this script?,maybe need more bytes?,and please answer my other questions -___-

I have a new problem for my Ruby hack on XSE.

The script works fine, except that when I move the sprite reappears at the original spot and won't go away.

This is my script:

'---------------
#org 0x8026DC
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x212
if 0x1 goto 0x880271A
applymovement 0xC 0x880272A

giveitem 0x1D 0x1 MSG_OBTAIN
applymovement 0xC 0x880274A

end

GO to Advance Map, the Events tab, select the person you want to hide, and in the People ID field, type 212. That means, that, when flag 0x212 is set (and it is), the sprite disappears from the map. Of course, you still have to use hidesprite to make it disappear right away, otherwise it won't disappear until you enter the map the next time.

I should have thought of that....well thanks a lot Larsie I'll do that.

I'm at the very beginning of learning how to script, and such mine is probably a very easy problem for people to solve. Anyhow, my script is a Signpost Script, which I shall post below:

Spoiler:

#org 0x8800023
'-----------------------------------
msgbox 0x880002D ' Windchime Village \n...
callstd 0x3 '
end


#org 0x880002D
= Windchime Village \nPok\emon Center

With Script Offset as "$800023".

When testing the signpost, the game completely freezes. What would be causing the script problem?

Edit: Forgot to mention, this is on a Fire-Red Rom

You typed Pok\emon instead of Pokémon. The error is probably caused by the fact that PokéScript is very buggy, and outdated. You should try switching to XSE. Check HackMew's Toolbox. It is fimiliar with almost every command, except for a few we don't know anything about yet. It also has a few handy features. Just check it out, and don't forget to read either the Guide (Press F2 while in XSE), or an XSE tutorial, because XSE has a few differences from PokéScript, which you'll have to get used to.

how many bytes do i need for a trainer script and bsaic talking script?

Any thoughts on what I need to change?

I converted the script to make it work with XSE. Please note that @Move4 is missing, since it was missing in the original script.

For a strange reason, the cry won't appear.

 

[HackMew]

For a strange reason, the cry won't appear.

That's because you aren't using it the right way. Try decompiling an original script. You'll see you're missing somethin ;)

And you wouldn't be so good to tell me?

 

[Mana1]

Thank you HackMew

And the missing $Move4 was a failure on my behalf, darn copy paste :P, anyway the script works great now! :D

 

[onyx79]

how many bytes do i need for a trainer script and bsaic talking script?

is that question is so hard to answer on?

 

[HackMew]

And you wouldn't be so good to tell me?

At the moment I'm not on my PC, so no hacking tools nor ROMs here :P
Besides, you need pause and waitcry.

Thank you HackMew

And the missing $Move4 was a failure on my behalf, darn copy paste :P, anyway the script works great now! :D

You're welcome.

is that question is so hard to answer on?

Well, why would you need to know how many bytes are needed?

 

[onyx79]

I want to make those scripts,so I need to search offsets on FSF,so I need to know how many bytes they take....
and I'm happy to see you posting (=

 

[HackMew]

Exactly like I guessed. You don't need to care about the amount of bytes that are needed. That's XSE's job. You just need to tell it where to start searching free space from. A quite large area filled with FF will do.

 

[onyx79]

well I took a random offset from FSF and this is the script:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x803E10
textcolor 0xED
nop
signmsg
cmdc3 0xC5
virtualgotoif 0xBD 0xE7CFC2

now I want to make this trainer script,here is it(from diegosisawesome xse tut)

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
trainerbattle 0x0 0x001 0x0 @before @after
msgbox @beaten 0x6

end

#org @before
= Go, all my PIKACHUs!

#org @after
= Nooo! My PIKACHUs!!!!!

#org @beaten
= My PIKACHUs can be used to\ncharge my Nintendo DS Lite.

I only know how to change the trainer ID,and expect of this:nothing!
I'm changing things then compile but I see this messege again and again:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x803E10
textcolor 0xED
nop
signmsg

what to do?I can't make new trainer scripts -_____-

 

[PaulH]

Using XSE I am encountering a strange problem. I am currently editting the original signpost scripts for Pallet Town to suit the replacement town (I editted the Pallet Town map into my new one), yet when I edit one of the scripts (not changing offset numbers at all) it will either imprint onto another of those scripts, or wipe out the words of it. For example:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x165838
lockall
setvar 0x8004 0x0
setvar 0x8005 0x0
special 0x173
msgbox 0x817D866 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Redwood Pokémon Research [player]'..."
releaseall
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x17D866
= Redwood Pokémon Research \nLaboratory

That is the replacement words for the OAK's POKEMON LAB sign, and it will imprint over the Players House signpost like this:

Spoiler:

'---------------
#org 0x165850
msgbox 0x817D87F MSG_SIGN '"\nLaboratory"
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x17D87F
= \nLaboratory

Either that, -or- it will remove the writing. I am baffled as to why.

 

[Spherical Ice]

You put an unnecessary: "\n".

Try this:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x[YOUR OFFSET]

#org @start
msgbox @1 0x3
release
end

#org @1
= Redwood's Pokémon Research Lab

 

[PaulH]

Nope, that did not fix it.
