Event Assembler Questions Thread

[Agro]

No, what did you try to do? Did you set the text pointer to 0?

[Solum]

Example : ( with one of my chapter's events.)

Misc_events:

CauseGameOverIfLordDies

DefeatBoss(Ending_event)
AFEV

Ending_event:

// Stuff

and no event ID with 0x02 as value.

THEN

We want to have Oleg as the new boss in the Prologue, and of course his death quote must be up when he dies.

Let's open The death quote editor part 2, you have multiple ways to fix the death quote :

Changing Trigger ID with 0x03 for example will also mean that you don't have any event ID in you event file that use the 0x03 value

Note that if you do this with the trigger ID you can have two boss like Paul & Jasmine and both their death quote will work because they have it in the same chapter but with a different ID. Well...

If it still doesn't work after all this. Then I'm bad at explaining things. Or you just failed something once again ><

[Pack yak]

^ Its not that you are bad at explaining things.

I did everything you said, still no results.

Although I don't think it is, but is it possible that by switching the maps of two levels (in this case, map 6 with map 29/30) would in anyway affect how this works?

In this case, the old boss, Bool is being switched with Oleg as the example.

Into text doc.

Oleg Warrior 0x00 XXXXXXX

Misc_events

GameOverIfLordDies

DefeatBoss(Ending_event)

AFEV

Ending_event

/stuff

No event has the event ID of 0x02

As for the death quote editor, I've switched Oleg's and Bool's info each way, both seperatly and independently with no results.

So 0x34 became

Oleg

Blood of pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

And

4A became

Oleg

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

No death quote showing up, even when doing Bool with his default options none would come up.

Unless I'm doing something wrong by spawning them in the text doc/map change, I'm unsure of what I'm doing wrong.

[Shamison]

First how do I make the fog that doesn't allow you to see the map?

Second how do I make doors open and chests unlock? I have the properties and such in tiled.

[CT075]

opaque fog is done by editing the tileset palette

Edited March 29, 2014 by CT075

[Shamison]

Thanks for the info but in nightmare or something else?

[CT075]

you could probably do it in nightmare if you wrote the module for it

[Shamison]

Then what other methods are used? I've seen it used before.

[CT075]

nightmare is pr much just a hex editor so you could probably do it with hxd or something

or you could try using a general purpose palette editor

[Agro]

Sigh, packyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak you ain't even tried what I said. Make an event file with this:

//obviously set this to include your own definitions files, too
#include EAstdlib.event

//Death quote events
#define DQTableOffset 0xC9F2EC
#define DeathQuoteTable(index,CharacterID,ChapterID,TextPointer,EventPointer,TriggerID) "ORG DQTableOffset+(16*index); BYTE CharacterID; BYTE ChapterID; ALIGN 4; SHORT TextPointer; ALIGN 4; POIN EventPointer; BYTE TriggerID; ALIGN 4"

//The List
DeathQuoteTable(0x00,Henrick,0x43,0x00,HenrickDies,0x65)//TextPointer MUST be 0x00 if you want to use events

//Death Quote Events

ORG 0x71ED5C//CHANGE THIS TO YOUR DESIRED ADDRESS

HenrickDies:
MUS1 HeroHasFallen
TEX1 0x7A8
ENUT 0x45
ENUT 0x02//CHANGE THIS TO THE EVENT ID DESIRED
ENDA

The general format for DeathQuoteTable is:

DeathQuoteTable(index,CharacterID,ChapterID,TextPointer,EventPointer,TriggerID)

[Pack yak]

I said that I have already tried it, yet somehow failed-, i'll try again however

Should the desired address be free space, or the hex of the death quote?

Edited March 29, 2014 by Pack yak

[Agro]

Free space. Hex of the death quote is what the pointer is for, but the EA does that for you. What do you mean you "tried it"? And what "failed"? Pack yak, please remember that vague details such as this are huge roadblocks to us helping you and if something goes wrong we need as much detail as possible.

Edited March 29, 2014 by Agro

[Shamison]

If I did would I be editing the fog? What I'm asking how does the fog work? Is it a tile? Or something else?

[CT075]

you'd be editing the fog palette of the tileset, which is tied to the regular tileset palette

[Shamison]

I've never heard or seen it. Where would it be found?

And to get back on topic If I have a scripted battle already made how do I trigger it? With a turn event? If so what would the code be?

EDIT:

Another problem. Every time I move my thief(legault)any distance then press A it freezes.

FIRE and etc codes go in trapdata, not misc_events

[Pack yak]

To Agro:

After 2 hours, I have finally figured out what I did wrong with your macro, and it now works- resulting in the death quote showing up AND the chapter ending.

Thank you so much.

One last thing- For using this macro in other chapters, do I use the same ORG, or change it each chapter?

[Agro]

You can change it if you want to but there's not a lot of point in it. Just keep it the same--each death quote event has its own label so the EA will sort out all the data on its own. Just make sure you leave enough space for the events so that they don't overwrite anything in the future. Just in case it wasn't obvious, you should only have to have one text file for it ever. Example:

//obviously set this to include your own definitions files, too
#include EAstdlib.event
#include owndefinitions.txt
#define EveryChapter 0x43

//Death quote events
#define DQTableOffset 0xC9F2EC
#define DeathQuoteTable(index,CharacterID,ChapterID,TextPointer,EventPointer,ID) "ORG DQTableOffset+(16*index); BYTE CharacterID; BYTE ChapterID; ALIGN 4; SHORT TextPointer; ALIGN 4; POIN EventPointer; BYTE ID; ALIGN 4"

//The List
DeathQuoteTable(0x00,Henrick,0x43,0x00,HenrickDies,0x65)//TextPointer MUST be 0x00 if you want to use events
DeathQuoteTable(0x11,Ethan,0x43,0x00,ETHAN_DIE_SPECIAL,0x00)
DeathQuoteTable(0x12,Wakeley,0x43,0x00,WAKELEY_DIE_SPECIAL,0x00)
DeathQuoteTable(0x1B,Rori,0x43,0x00,RORI_DIE_SPECIAL,0x00)

//DeathQuoteEvents
ORG 0x71ED5C//you should only need to do this once
HenrickDies:

ENDA

[Solum]

Glad you solve your problem. But actually. You did just what I gave you... Wrong again.

See :

So 0x34 became

Oleg

Blood of pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

And

4A became

Oleg

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

These, even if they have the same datas, are (I think) two differents death quotes. Which use the same trigger ID. And for me it's also the reason why it still didn't work.

To be correct it would be like this :

So 0x34 became

Bool

Other Chapter

BFB

0x00

0x02

And

4A became

Oleg

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

OR

So 0x34 became

Oleg

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

And

4A became

Oleg

Other Chapter

BFB

0x00

0x02

OR

(Version where you have multiple death quote. Useful for when you have multiple boss)

So 0x34 became

Bool

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x02

And

4A became

Oleg

Blood of Pride

BFB

0x00

0x03

If I am wrong please correct me. But all these worked fine for me so...

If I keep putting explanations now it is more for eventual other death quote problem since they are solved like above the most of the time

Edited March 30, 2014 by Solum

[Agro]

Solum, I think he's okay

I've had a similar issue before where a death quote wouldn't work for an NPC character. I'm not sure what causes it, to be honest, but it seems that the best way to fix it is just to use events.

[Solum]

I just though it may be useful for someone else with death quote difficulties. Not only for Pack yak.

I have a question now :

When you use a TEX8 to load a text on the map with a brown colored box. Is there a way to auto center it after an event occurring anywhere on the map?

My example is a recruitment event (text etc) and right after a little text opens in the center of the screen saying "RandomGuy Joined the party"

This is the TEX6 version, which is pretty fine too. But I think I prefer the TEX8's shape.

OmbeXTudel:
Text(0x0826)
TEX6 0x5 [0,0] 0x0827
_ASM0x42 0x83181
ENDA

So yeah. A tiny little question =)

Edited March 30, 2014 by Solum

[Agro]

No, unfortunately there's no way to auto-centre the textbox. You just have to fumble around with the co-ordinates until you get it right

[Shamison]

Well now I get this when I unlock the door. Also my traps only activate once. As in a fire trap in one place works once and then none of them do. Or the other doors. Could it be that I need to set different ID's for the different doors/traps.

each door/chest should have its own tile ID

it's also END_MAIN, not End_MAIN
