[Script] XSE, Text Limit, and how can I make it fit more text?

[hjk321]

I know for sure that this XSE works, I've used it many times, and it's only because my text is long, if I do short texts, then it works just fine, but whenever I try to write more (which I need to in this situation), then when I click compile, it wouldn't compile, and just crash.

Try multiple msgbox commands in the same script? It looks exactly the same, you just need 2 pointers.

Wait, it's actually crashing? I thought it just wasn't compiling.

The best advice I can give you is to redownload since you most likely have a corrupted download. HackRomTools has all the best stuff imo

I downloaded the XSE from HackRomTools, tested the script that I entered, and it still provided me with the same result, is there anything in particular wrong about my script?

The script I sent already had 2 pointers, one being 'take', and one being 'begone', I've tried everything, and I still don't know.

If you don't know what's causing a crash (because I have no clue just from reading your script) try removing some elements until it works. Also if the length of text is the problem split it up into even more msgboxes.

Some more things to consider:

Is there enough free space in your rom? I realize you are using #dynamic but it's still a good idea to check.

Does XSE spit any error on crash? Most hacking tools are written on a C++ .NET framework and will spit out exceptions.

Ok, I'll try split it out into more msgboxes, I know there is plenty of free space in 800000, as I've used the offset only a few times. Secondly, there is no error on the crash, it would crash, and then just close itself.

It's still not working, I tried using like 4 msgboxes, plus the command that I forgot to add for after text after giving the item, and everything still crashes XSE.

Try this. (I also changed the flag because flags 500 - 700 are usually trainer flags and are not that safe to use.

setflag 0x204

end

I'll try out the script. :)

No... It didn't work.

I've got it! This is as much script that XSE can take.

Aha!!
I've cracked it! I just needed to write a certain amount of text per line. This allowed me to add more script. Hence. This longer script works, as long as it's shorter than the longest sentence.
