Script Help Thread (DO NOT REQUEST SCRIPTS)

[Sierraffinity]

No, still not working...

Why is it that these kind of things always happen to me?

Well, then, what exactly happens when it crashes? And at what point in the script?

 

[Teh Blazer]

I'm still very new to scripting, so this probably won't work, but it's worth a try. What I added is in bold.

Yeah, it didn't work. But thanks for trying. Anybody else want to help?

A few misspellings. Nothing hard to fix.

A few misspellings. Nothing hard to fix.

Sorry for that mistake...I just write the mistake at the post...When fixed,it still makes game crush...

 

[lbirrueta]

In Advance Map, select one of the green script tiles and click "Open Script". You need to choose XSE as the script editor, though.

after i do so how do i save the new script? make it say the new script when i play it?

 

[Shadow_Knux]

Game: Fire Red
Type of Event: Person
Scripted in: XSE
Goal of Script: Display message, initiate trainer battle, display losing message, give shiny Dratini, display message, hide sprite.
What it does: It does everything, except I need to talk to the person after the battle in order for him to give the Dratini to me, and I want that to happen as soon as the battle finishes. The sprite also won't stay hidden, but that's not the main problem.

Well, my game just freezes when I step on the tile. Anyone know how to fix it?

Maybe there's a script on it that has no var? Or any strange property bytes? Try checking those.

Ok, so I'm hacking Emerald. I've read some tutorials, and I've got the basics down, such as simple message scripts, signs, and Yes/no choiceboxes. I was able to do these no problem before (as in a few weeks ago) but now that I've tried again, none of them work. Today, I even followed diegoisawesome's tutorial exactly (or thethethethe, whoever did one on XSE). I tried copying in the example scripts, typing them exactly, and yet when I press "A" on any sign or person the script is assigned to, all I get is an endless string of these characters:

qÀF

A space is also present, after the F. They just continue until I'm forced to reset. I really don't know what goes wrong, as I definately copy exactly what the example scripts say. For my dynamic offsets, I use the free space finder in AdvanceMap, click "OK" and use the first offset shown. Does anyone have any idea as to what I'm doing wrong? (because I really could get it to work before. Really. *rocks back and forth*). If you can solve this, you get a cookie :P

Whenever that happens to me I just give it a new offset. But make sure its free and if your just edititng the original that the message pointer has a fresh offset too.

 

[giradialkia]

Hmm maybe you opened the wrong rom and compiled it into the wrong rom?

Sorry, should have said- the only way I script is through AdvanceMap (ie, set XSE as my script editor, add the event to the map, and say "Open Script"). So I definately didn't open or compile it wrong- unless.. When I compile them, I hit "copy", and paste the new offset in the "script offset" box in AdvanceMap. I think that's correct, though, isn't it? Here's what I mean-

 #dynamic 0x(generic)
#org @start

When I click Compile, the offset for "#org @start" is highlighted, I copy and paste it. Is that the correct way, yeah?
And to Quickster, I've tried that multiple times, I'm stumped, it does the same each time. Thanks to you both for trying, though.

 

[Teh Blazer]

Well, this is in your house that you start in. No other script is there. What should be the proper bytes anyways?

No weird, unknown numbers...

 

[giradialkia]

Hmm that's strange :S what else have you tryed?

Well, if you mean what other scripts have I tried, only the ones named, ie, Signposts, People and Yes/No boxes. I didn't even add my own text, I copied the examples.
However, it did work when I just edited a signpost (because I knew you had to keep the text shorter than the original if you were just editing, so I did, and it worked).
If you meant what other solutions have I tried... Well, trying different Dynamic offsets and redoing the scripts, I guess. I think my problem could be the dynamic offset? I mean, I do find it with a free space finder, but the script only seems to work if I edit one's text. So the dynamic could be it?

 

[trebornosliw]

Wow, it's been awhile since I was last here, which could be a good or bad thing, I suppose...
Anyway, question: I'm using the changemaptile command for the first time, do I need to do anything special to make the change permanent? I'm assuming I'll at least have to change the flag...
Oh, and I'm using the warp command again, do I need to convert the map/map bank numbers to hex, or can I just use the normal decimal numbers?
These are, of course, done in XSE.

Oh, and one more thing. What's wrong with this level script? I know that there's no setvar, but that's because I want it to repeat every time you enter the map. At the moment it's not doing anything though.

Now, as for your problem, have you tried just going with 800000+ offsets, instead of using the FSF? That's probably not the issue, but the problem really makes no sense... I don't get why it would do that.
A few more questions...
What script were you using, exactly?
Are you positive that the rom is clean?
If you decompile the script after compiling it, is the decompiled script any different from the original?
I'll try to help, but it sounds like this is out of my league, and I've never actually hacked Emerald before, just FR.
