[Other] XSE pulling 00 space from Emerald

[timson733333]

Hey all, I've been working on an Emerald hack as of late using the 650 base, and recently got into scripting. Of course, I was super excited about that, so I made a bunch of scripts with XSE, thinking that it would use FF space instead of 00 space. Because after all, I searched for tons of bytes of FF space using FSF, so of course it would, right?

Wasn't until I tried creating more scripts, and they just turned into "[PLAYER] received a PP Up!" for no reason. I wrote everything correctly, but every time I tested anything it would just be more PP Ups. I looked into the ROM file and saw that a ton of 00 space had been overwritten while the FF space that I found using FSF was left completely untouched. Then, I tried setting #dynamic to a very high offset where there was only FF space, and XSE refused to compile it, saying that there wasn't enough space.

What do I do? There doesn't seem to be any option to force XSE to use FF on Emerald instead of 00. Is there another command I have to put specifically for Emerald to make it compile correctly, or is XSE just borked with Emerald?

Use the command "#freespace 0xFF" at the start of your script to fix this. ;)

Could you perhaps write an example script?

Im new to scripting but when i see scripts, its like this

#dynamic 0x(blahblah)

#org @start

and so on. what your saying is to do...

#freespace 0x(regular free space code?)

#org @whatever





Right?

Basically.
It goes like this.

#dynamic 0x(...)
#freespace 0xFF

#org @whatever
...
