From what I can see, it looks like you pressed enter while writing the dialogue for the @hi message at the "I have to go see ya" part, which is why your Script Editor won't let you compile. It should compile fine if you fix that, but I really think you should change the flags you're using.

XSE isn't working right. Whenever I talk to the person, it makes the sound but nothing pops up

Can you show us the script you compiled?

 

[Joexv]

It should work fine if you're hacking Ruby or Fire Red. However, if you're hacking Emerald, you should use special 0x91 to refresh the map so that the tile changes appear. special 0x8E in Emerald either does nothing or something else, this is why they appeared when you re-entered the map, since there is no need to refresh the map with setmaptile level scipts.

Now, if you're not using Emerald, then I find nothing wrong with the script. Once it gets to the '":Well done:\n:Now guide others to ..." part, the tiles should be changed.

Ah well that would explain it as I am using emerald. Figures XD. Thanks ill edit it and see what happens.

It'd help if you actually write what's wrong with your script before you post it.

Anyway, the pokémon that's supposed to show up on the nicknaming screen is defined by the variable 8004, which gives the position in the party your new pokémon will be in. So setvar 0x8004 0x0 would nickname the first pokémon in your slot, 0x2 the second and so on. I edited your script so that it works correctly for any number of pokémon in the party except 6. The problem is that if your party is full and Charmander is set to a PC box, the screen will show the last pokémon in your party, not Charmander. special 0x9E only works with pokémon currently in your party as far as I know, so you should check if the party is full in the script before continuing to give the pokémon.

I can't believe I'm actually asking this...
What is the special for activating the regional Pokédex in FR? I want to find it in the script and replace it with the National dex special.

Alright. I'm back with a similar problem to what I've had before. Here's the script:

#org @no

Now I think this is perfect. The problem is when I hit compile, it compiles and saves to the rom. I then insert the script offset into A-Map onto a clean sprite. I test the rom to see if it works, and I can only hear the ding. He faces me however, but only on the first time. I'll try talking to him the next couple of times, but nothing works. How do I make this actually work? Also, if anything is wrong with the script, just mention that.

***I might want to add that the item offsets are just fillers for when I get a chance to change the items to what I want. So don't say anything about how a Masterball isn't a Mega Stone.

Your script seems to work fine, are you sure you copied the correct compiled offset for @bulbasaur to the script offset box of the pokéball in Advance Map?

There are few things wrong with your script, but it should compile properly and you should be able to see what's wrong so you can fix it. If all you can hear is a ding then look at my answer for Ik-Stan.

 

[Ik-Stan]

Spheal, thanks for your reaction. I'm sure I copied the right offset. Any more ideas?

Well, I can't see anything wrong with the script. Are you sure you're compiling it into the same ROM?

Well I used offset 0x9B0000 as my script offset, and I entered that in A-Map. But it only pops up as a ding, no text though...

 

[Teh Blazer]

Well I used offset 0x9B0000 as my script offset, and I entered that in A-Map. But it only pops up as a ding, no text though...

Have you tried turning it off and on again using a different offset? 9B0000 seems a bit high, usually around 800000 is what people use for script offsets.

 

[Christos]

Well I used offset 0x9B0000 as my script offset, and I entered that in A-Map. But it only pops up as a ding, no text though...

Okay so I tried the script myself and it works fine. So you must be doing something wrong with the compiling.

You started the script with "#dynamic 0x800000", right? When you compile with XSE, you a small window pops up showing you where the script was located, which is at free space after the offset you specified (800000). Just copy the offset compiled for @start and enter it in Advance Map.

I put this script into the game. Normally when I try to use XSE and I talk to the person, they say nothing. When I talked to the guy this time, he said something that one of the other guys says.

I think you may be using an old version of XSE, I'd definitely suggest updating to a newer version. Also I certainly wouldn't compile that script to that offset as that is probably your problem. The new version of XSE doesn't require the boxset command, instead you can just put the 0x6 inside the msgbox command. Also, a quick tip would be to use the MSG_FACE type as it doesn't require lock, faceplayer or release commands. Here is what your script should look like, just compile it and copy the @start offset into the A-Map person event.

#dynamic 0x800000

#org @start
msgbox @msg1 MSG_FACE
end

#org @msg1

[Ik-Stan]

Well, I can't see anything wrong with the script. Are you sure you're compiling it into the same ROM?

I tried it on a clean ROM and it worked, so I'm guessing there's something wrong with my ROM.
