Event Assembler Questions Thread

Probably means you fucked something up with the map.

Nintenlord · July 22, 2011

I fixed all the errors, and also inserted a couple maps for insertion with the Tiled inserter. Now VBA is freaking out about not having a BIOS file, when it never needed one before, ever. Could it be I inserted the map wrong, or something else? I inserted the events at D400000, and the two maps at D800000, so accidental overlap shouldn't be a problem there... ?

If you inserted the maps at exact same offset, then it shouldn't cause any problems. Compare the start of ROM to the start of an unedited ROM. If there's a huge amount of difference, then your ROM is borked.

I can't seem to get my FIGH code working right.

FIGH Serra Hector Sleep1

Using the format in Arch's tutorial. That points to...

Sleep1:

AttackerMiss(False)

DefenderHit(20,False)

AttackerNoDamage(True)

EndOfBattle

Why won't it work?

I believe it's this:

FIGH Serra Hector Sleep1 $00000000

You know, I had this same exact problem. Unfortunately, I can't remember how I fixed it, but I do remember this: I needed a new ROM afterwards.

@Nintenlord: Thanks for that awesome response. Though I think I'll stay away from World Maps for now.

So I want to make a whole bunch of custom maps and chapters for my hack that are pretty much pure background exploration with rewards 'Spotlight' chapters if you will. However I don't seem to be able to handle the important part, giving the player a character on the map, and then removing the character when the map is over.

EXAMPLE: Spotlight - Cath would focus on Caths first 'job' when she left the ruins of her village so she would deploy as a level 1 thief. Easy enough, just make a seperate character 'Cath' to deploy instead of the main party one, and be unable to deploy anyone (or skip the deployment page) the problem is how to make it so when the chapter is over you DON'T have another Cath anymore.

Fade in darkness, change alliance to enemy, end the chapter?

I'll try it, see if it works. Thanks

BlueLeafeon · July 28, 2011

I was wondering if somebody could look this over and see what I did wrong. Every time I try to insert it, it crashes the program. It gives me a "Values do not fall into the specified range." error.

It's NoAI, not [NoAI]. Why do people keep doing this?

Also, the whole UNIT thing needs to be on one line.

Once I fix those, I get these errors:

BlueLeafeon · July 28, 2011

The unit codes are all on the same line? ._.; Or do you mean all four units have to be on one line together?

Nintenlord · July 29, 2011

One full code and all of it's parameters need to be on the same line.

BlueLeafeon · July 29, 2011

They are on one line, I guess the forum booted them to the next for some reason.

and what does it mean "No code found: REDA"? I copied it from Arch's tutorial. It should work?

Okay I fixed those errors and the 0x__ but now it's tleling me "Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: startIndex"

Nintenlord · July 29, 2011

Always check the Event assembler language.txt when you get the unknown code error. As for the IndexOutOfRange, make sure you have the latest version. If you have, then the problem is in your definitions, since I got your script to compile without that error. Also, always repost your script when you change it.

BlueLeafeon · July 29, 2011

Okay, downloaded the latest version and got it to insert, at least.

um...does the event assembler have to be in the standard library folder for the codes to work? It doesn't seem to be recognizing codes that I copied right out of Arch's tutorial. :/

Even with the definitions file for my game, I'm still getting errors. I don't see why as I'm using the codes exactly how the other guys did. >_<

Nintenlord · July 30, 2011

Post the definitions and the errors.

um...does the event assembler have to be in the standard library folder for the codes to work?

No, in fact, don't add or remove or edit any files in the EA folder.

It doesn't seem to be recognizing codes that I copied right out of Arch's tutorial. :/

Check the Event assembler language.txt for those codes.

CT075 · July 30, 2011

Some of the codes in Arch's tutorial are out of date.

BlueLeafeon · July 30, 2011

*sigh* This is way more trouble than it's worth. *reverts all the data to hex numbers and sees if that gets the codes to work*

*still gets the "No code found" error* -_-

Check the Event assembler language.txt for those codes.

Warp
FE7:

WARP [Location X' date= Location Y] *In or out*

WARP Character *In or out*

CAuses warp animation on a unit.

Unit isn't actually moved by this code.

Parameters:

Location = Location of the warp animation.

In or out = Weather warp animation is for warping in (animation

goes from up to down) or out (other way around)

Character = Character to do the warp animation on.

...Is there no warp function for FE8?

Heck, is there even enough functioning codes in this thing to make a chapter in FE8? I don't see many codes for FE8 at all...or at least the codes I thought I would need to make this stupid prologue look right. (in particular, the codes to make it seem like Ryen and Jason were warped from their homeland to the new one)

Edited July 30, 2011 by MagicTiger

Primefusion · July 30, 2011

If you look in the Unit Helpers.txt you'll find this:

#ifdef _FE8_
#define WarpIn(Char,X,Y)		"_SETVAL 2 Char; _WARP -1 -3 [X,Y]; GOTO $9EE4F8"
#define WarpOut(Char,X,Y)		"_SETVAL 2 Char; _WARP -1 -3 [X,Y]; GOTO $9EE4F8"
#endif

It would seem FE8 does indeed have a warp in and warp out macro.

On a side note, the regular warp commands (I.E., the commands the macro uses) in FE8 seem really strange.

ShinKuma · July 30, 2011

I gave her the same answer back on Shrine of Seals maybe she's just having a bad time understanding how it works.

shadowofchaos · July 31, 2011

Well... there is the fact that FE8 Event Assembler has issues period.

For example, at one point, when I got the latest one, disassembling and reassembling it period screwed up coordinates and rendered the first chapter unplayable. That was without changes.

Has Nintenlord fixed that issue already? Haven't tested FE8 at all since that happened with Trent's FE4R Events.

Nintenlord · July 31, 2011

^That (hasn't been fixed in any released version, but only affects REDA codes as far as I can see) and the lack of codes are the only issues I know of, everything else is shared between all 3 GBA games, so it wouldn't be FE8 only problem. And I'm 97% sure that Leafys problems are caused by her, not by me. Feel free to prove me wrong, though.

BlueLeafeon · August 1, 2011

I gave her the same answer back on Shrine of Seals maybe she's just having a bad time understanding how it works.

It was giving a 'code not found' error for a while, but my recent changes must have fixed it because ti's not giving errors anymore. :/

And I'm 97% sure that Leafys problems are caused by her, not by me. Feel free to prove me wrong, though.

I blame Arch for having out-of-date codes, and for not explaining to remove the parenthesis from the codes. *brick'd*

Okay, so I figured I needed to study a WORKING (FE8) chapter to get this straight, and extracted Chapter 1 from the ROM. I've been converting all the codes I see. I've been reducing the amount of errors this way.

But uh...how do FE8 text codes work? It won't recognize the macros Arch used, and I don't understand how the TEXTSTART etc. codes work.

FalconVegeta1986 · August 1, 2011

In FE7, does anyone know the macro for thieves to warp in and out?

Nintenlord · August 2, 2011

It's not in the current release, but will be in the next:

#define FancyAssasinEntry(X,Y) "_0xE3 0xCB401C [X*0x10-1,Y*0x10-1]; SOUN 0x2F6"

#define FancyThiefEntry(X,Y) "_0xE3 0xCAE5F8 [X*0x10-1,Y*0x10-1]; SOUN 0x2F6"

ThatGuyDownTheStreet · August 2, 2011

It's not in the current release, but will be in the next:

#define FancyAssasinEntry(X,Y) "_0xE3 0xCB401C [X*0x10-1,Y*0x10-1]; SOUN 0x2F6"

#define FancyThiefEntry(X,Y) "_0xE3 0xCAE5F8 [X*0x10-1,Y*0x10-1]; SOUN 0x2F6"

So wait, it was figured out how Thieves AI works and after they are done stealing they leave? Or am I misinterpreting things?

Nintenlord · August 2, 2011

Do you see anything relating to AI in that post you quoted?
