thethethethe's Scripting Tutorial

[destinedjagold]

Well... I have not seen this tutorial in a long while.
But I gotta say, it is quite out of date, PokeScript is flawed, and should not be used anymore.
Don't get me wrong, this is probably the most extensive guide on here for scripting, but it is just out of date.
(I would know that it is probably the best scripting tutorial on here, because this is the only tutorial I have ever read, that made sense, this tutorial got my scripting knowledge started.)

it may be out of date, but it's still useful, for this tutorials helps me to know what codes to use for an event I would like to have, and I just have to convert it to XSE style.
it's not really a big problem, though...
but I respect your opinion, though. :)
and I agree that this tutorial is very easy to understand.

help i tried to make movement to this girl and then the whole game froze heeeeeeeeeeelp:(

post your script in the Script Help Thread for ROM modders/hackers to help see what's the problem.
Remember to follow the format of how to post your script there on the first page.

hmmm about the wild battle script,do I need to copy all of this code?how can I change chrizard to a lapras?how can I put this on advanced map?is that works with pksvui?

thethethethe explained how to do that.
in a wild battle script, just change the PKMN hex code to the one you want to battle.

or by 'Charizard to Lapras', do you mean the title screen of FireRed?
if so, then this is the wrong thread to ask.

Thethethethe your good I will maybe use some of your scripts for my hack

 

[hinsburg]

Wow, that's really helpful. I'll see how much I can figure out without my brain exploding.

 

[kevcrash]

This will be very useful for me and my hack since I'm pretty new to the whole thing, thanks! You gave the most detailed yet simple thread. By simple I mean you explain the things in a form where most people can understand and it's not too high technological...
^_^

 

[kaka1918]

yes is very good tutoriel I can take it to make it in my site with a French translation (with credit ) your please

 

[Da GaMeFrEaK]

Is there some kind of formula or table that would explain how to convert numbers to hex? I'm trying to convert 2000 to hex, but I really don't know if I didn't read the tutorial well enough and I missed something, or if this is really complicated math. I have a feeling that I'm going to convert more numbers. thethethethe explained that 500 equaled 0x1F4. How did he get that?

 

[Excalibur]

Tazman, you can use windows calculator advanced mode. just write a number in dec and then choose hex. the number will be converted into hex.

 

[Da GaMeFrEaK]

Huh...I didn't know windows calculator could do that. Thanks a lot!

Pokemon hex values

I tried using some of the scripts and i noticed i need to use the hex values of pokemon, not the pokedex numbers... Can someone tell me the hex values of pokemon for XSE?

The HEX values of the pokemon COME WITH XSE.
Please look in the folder where you saved XSE, and open the file called, stdpoke.rbh
That File, when opened in XSE or any other text editor, will show every single hex value for the pokemon.

XSE has an integrated calc, too.

The HEX values of the pokemon COME WITH XSE.
Please look in the folder where you saved XSE, and open the file called, stdpoke.rbh
That File, when opened in XSE or any other text editor, will show every single hex value for the pokemon.

Yeah. And besides... you don't even need to know the hex values at all:

#dynamic 0x800000
#include stdpoke.rbh

#org @start
givepokemon PKMN_PIKACHU 0x5 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0
end

thanks a lot! That really helped me!

I don't know why but I always get an error Message with the "message" thing.
And it says that "boxset" doesn't exist!?!

What's wrong with my XSE?

 

[Logan]

You need to use the command msgbox and not boxset.

 

[HackMew]

What's wrong with my XSE?

Nothing. Basically boxset is outdated and not needed any more. Message/msgbox is all you need. Check the Command Help and read the guide too.

[trist79]

Great tutorial! I can't seem to get my computer to compile the scripts but I already reinstalled the program. Got any suggestions?

 

[ProClifo]

I have a prob too. I made Celebi wild Pokemon script in Viridian Forest, and thanks for the flag numbers, by the way. It dissapears normally when you kill it or run away from it. But when I catch it, it won't dissapear! Can someone help me and tell what to do? :\
