OK, two quick questions.

1. Can I go to the next chapter without going to the save screen.

2. What exactly are the permanent event ID's? 0x66 and on, right?

[CT075]

@no save files: you could accomplish the same effect by using a LOMA code

i'm not entirely sure if EA can handle multiple files linked together at once, so unless you want to have the code for two chapters bloating up the same file, you'd need to do something like this:

// This is in file 1
EndingEvent:
TEX1 0xABE  // "ok thank you goodnite no save screenie4u"
ClearAll
LOMA 0x1    // example, this should be the ID in the chapter data editor of the next chapter
JUMP [offset]
ENDA

// This is in file 2
MESSAGE Chapter's opening event is at offset currentOffset
// This is the offset you want to use in your JUMP
OpeningEvent:
// ...

You'll also need to make sure that the turn events and etc are set up in the other event file properly Edited September 1, 2013 by CT075

Me again, to no surprise :C

Well, I'm having a little trouble figuring the WarpIn and WarpOut functions.

I read the EASTDLib, providing this:

FE7:   WarpIn(Char,Class,X,Y)
   WarpIn(UnitPtr,X,Y)

Warp Out Effect
  FE7:
   WarpOut(X,Y)
   WarpOut(Char)

However I'm wondering do you need to use both the WarpIn and WarpOut together?

Turn1event:
LOU1 Reinforcements
ENUN
MOVE Canas [19,11] 
ENUN
FADI 5
BACG 0x59
FADU 5 
TEX1 0x0800
REMA
STAL 3
WarpOut [19,11]
WarpOut Canas
REPOS Canas [2,4]
STAL 10
WarpOut [18,11]
WarpOut Lyn_t
REPOS Lyn_t [3,4]
FADU 5 
TEX1 0x0801
REMA
STAL 3
MOVE Canas [1,1] 
WarpOut [1,1]
WarpOut Canas
CURF [1,1]
ENDA

I figured it would eb simpler to use the REPOS rather than WarpIn at least for me to avoid that UnitPtr, which although I'm familiar with the term pointer, I have a hard time clicking it in with other ideas.

Anyways, I'm not sure how to fix this.

The error is:

No Code Name WarpOut Found

for all of the corresponding lines.

Edited September 2, 2013 by SogiTai

[Agro]

WarpOut is not a "code" the same way LOU1 and MOVE are--it's a macro

You have:

WarpOut Canas

It should be:

WarpOut(Canas)

WarpOut(Char)

Those brackets exist for a reason. The same goes for your location--use WarpOut(19,11) not WarpOut [19,11]

generally speaking, macros won't need spaces/aren't designed to have spaces in them whereas codes like REPOS and TEX1 are

Edited September 2, 2013 by Agro

[SogiTai]

Aha, I see Thanks a lot I had tried variations, but dumbly never tried them both in parenthesis.

Thanks again Agro! :D

I tried adding this "Pay to Recruit" event into my event file but when I try assembling I get an error saying that codes "CODE" and "TEX4" are not found. Is there any way I can fix the problem?

Edited September 4, 2013 by Brendor the Brave

[CT075]

change CODE to BYTE and TEX4 to MORETEXT

[Brendor]

Umm.......it works now but whenever a unit waits it resets the chapter for some reason.

[CT075]

welp

[Brendor]

I dissected FE7's final chapter to see how the effect for Ninian's resurrection was done and I was able to isolate it and I took some notes on what each bit does:

STAL 30

_0xE1//dunno

_0xE0 0xBFFFFFFF 0x4 0x80 0x802//dims screen

STAL 30//stalls

SOUN 0x2EF//plays sfx

_0xDF 0x9 0xD//actual code for "resurection":1st parameter-Xcoordinate,2nd parameter is the Ycoordinate

_0xE0 0xBFFFFFFF 0x4 0x100 0x1004//undims screen

_0xE2//dunno

STAL 60//stalls again

however, I can't figure out how to change the character and class that appear on the map from the effect (currently Citizen and Dancer)

Would anyone have any idea on how I could edit that? Thanks in advance

I have a question...dont know if it has been answered before but its asinine to just sift through 98 pages. I have the beginnings of the event assembler down, but I am having a problem with text. I have it where it says

Turn2:
MUS1 0x0042
TEX1 0x018B
LOU1 Reinforcements
ENUN
ENDA

The text wasnt changed so when turn 2 came out it was the normal support conversation with farina and karla because those are the characters im using (just to test it out) but when i go to change the text in FEditor adv. and save all of it and assemble the game starts wigging out with static like something didnt work right, but when i remove the the text from the document it works just fine. So to sum it up the problem is that when i change text in FEditor and try to assemble it, the game glitches and freezes. any help would be helpful.

[TheGreatArmads]

Never mind, i fixed it by just deleting the .sav file from the rom and it worked perfectly. So you can disregard the post.

[blyegg]

BTW, you forgot REMA. Not sure why EA didn't give you an error.

[CT075]

why would EA complain if you missed REMA

it's like asking the java compiler to complain if you do something that causes a logic error

Edited September 4, 2013 by CT075

[blyegg]

i thought it spits out an error if you dont use REMA

**baka**

So I seem to be messing up with phases, in my most current mishap.

What I want to happen is, start with no options, then once you've ended your turn, the next turn will warpin/load Canas to go into a dialogue screen, and then will go towards your hero, and they both warpout and re-warp in on another part of the map.

What is the problem for me with the most current form of the script->

1.) When Canas warpIns to his new spot, he suddenly reappears in his old spot as well despite him being repositioned.

2.) The game gets stuck in this sort of Other Phase Loop, that won't load back to the player phase- most likely due to the fact that Lyn hasn't come back to the map. However even adding lyn back to the map, does not fix the issue of changing lyn to an npc.

CODES POSTED BELOW

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've tried inputing the code little by little to see where the error comes in.

This just yields different results such as changing Lyn to an npc, and/or freezing of the game. But ultimately with my most current version of the script:

[Agro]

LOU1 OWL
ENUN
CAM1 Canas
WarpIn(Canas,Shaman,19,9)
WarpIn(OWL,19,9)

The WarpIn actually partially has a LOU1 built in to it. Try this:

CAM1 [19,9]
WarpIn(Canas,Shaman,19,9)

The reason your game is glitching out is because you're trying to load one unit three times, essentially. Once when you use LOU1, twice when you use the first WarpIn, and thrice when you use the second WarpIn. These are the actual WarpIn macros:

//Warp effect, under construction
#ifdef _FE7_
#define WarpIn(Char,Class,X,Y) "WARP [X,Y] 1; LOEV Char Class [X,Y]; _ASM0x42 $20AB9"
#define WarpIn(UnitPtr,X,Y) "WARP [X,Y] 1; LOU1 UnitPtr; _ASM0x42 $20AB9"
#define WarpOut(X,Y) "WARP [X,Y] 0; DISA [X,Y]; _ASM0x42 $20AB9"
#define WarpOut(Char) "WARP Char  0; DISA Char; _ASM0x42 $20AB9"
#endif

Also, why do you have two WarpOut/Ins for each character? You should never need more than one. Certainly trying to "WarpOut(LynLord)" will cause some glitching because you're telling the game to get rid of a character that doesn't exist. You probably won't need all the REPOS and the DISAs because those are already included in the macro.

Edited September 5, 2013 by Agro

[SogiTai]

...You, my friend, are golden! I don't even know what that means, but you've helped me so much! This has been bugging at me for nearly 4-5 days of on and off hacking now.

So basically as for those macros, what it is- is that, there are certain times in which you'd use the UnitPtr ver. of the warpin macro and certain times you'd use the CharClass ver. of the macro?

[CT075]

unitptr is if you intend to actually use the character on the game map

classchar is only if you intend for them to be a cutscene unit

[SogiTai]

I know this is probably a real stupid question, but for clairfication (I am probably actually wrong hee,)

The Unitptr is the info found in the fe7 definitions doc?

For example lyn would be 0x03?

And if this is the case,

My code :

WarpIn(0x03,4,4) 

seems to only load Lyn back to her original spot.

[Agro]

UnitPtr would be whatever unit group you wanted to load, such as Good or OWL or Bad. In your case you would want to do this:

LynAppears:
WarpIn(LynWarp,4,3)//if I recall correctly the "warp" effect actually appears 1 tile lower than the designated coordinates
ENDA
 
LynWarp:
UNIT Lyn_t LynLord 0x00 Level(1,Ally,False) [4,4] [4,4] [Vulnerary] [0x00,0x00,0x00,0x00]//her inventory will actually remain the same as it was before; once the game loads a unit as an ally it will also "save" their inventory, so don't worry about those
UNIT

Just keep in mind that Lyn will also need to be DISA'd beforehand to prevent the game from glitching after it starts to think you're trying to load two of her.

Edited September 5, 2013 by Agro

[SogiTai]

That makes so much more sense. So basically we have to create an alternate unit for her that has the coordinate the game will have to read when you want her to move.

Thanks! :D

This opens my eyes to how the scripting will work, a little bit further. :D

Have you tried to set "Fade to map" instead of "Fade to black" in Nightmare, with the Chapter data editor?

Alternatively you could just add one FADU at the beginning of the OpeningEvent. It usually works for me.
