    Hi Guy!

    Just wondering what everyone's routine for scripting is.

    I usually make my map changes in AdvancedMap, then back up my rom before going through this cycle:
    • Write my code
    • Compile into rom
    • insert pointers via AdvancedMap
    • Run rom file
    • Repeat

    After a while of testing I will implement my tested scripts into my back up and then back up the new copy. There has to be an easier way to do this haha.

    Nope, this is the way to do it in binary ROM hacking;)
     
    So there's not a cleaner way to do it? I would have least thought someone would have a method where they could work off the same rom file if they were careful. Who'd a thunk it 😵
