Moocavo Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 And, at Moocavo, to start from chapter 11 in eliwood mode when starting a new game, change offset 0xA06D8 in the rom from 00 2D to 02 25, or 03 25 for hector chapter 11.

eCut Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Heya, so I am having a few problems... http://pastebin.com/TpaZ9x1A (I only included the necessary stuff; 0x08 is Sebastian's recruitment event's ID) The two problems I am having: 1) When you choose not to go to the gaiden, it still plays the events under the 'Yes' option. I've tried changing the IDs but it did not work. Solved! Thanks Krad. :) 2) Even if you do meet the two goals to go to the gaiden (killing the boss with Elliot and recruiting Sebastian), the game automatically goes to the 'NoGaiden' event. Note that this does not happen when I remove the IFCD from the 'NoGaiden' event. I've also tried checking to see if he's been recruited and if he is fielded but they both result in the same problem occurring. Just a couple of notes: I've made sure nothing is being overwritten and the boss' death quote is set up properly in Nightmare. Both Eric and I cannot figure out why the event is not working properly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :) Edited March 2, 2013 by eCut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krad Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) The first problem I think is this line Gaiden: MUS1 0x0039 FADI 10 BACG 0x1D FADU 10 TEX1 0x0869 SOUN 0x00D2 MORETEXT 0x086A MUS1 0x0044 MORETEXT 0x086C FADI 10 BACG 0x5B FADU 10 STAL 50 ScrollText(0x09A5) IFYN 0x07 FADI 10 BACG 0x1D FADU 10 TEX1 0x086B MNCH 0x08 STAL 1 _0x1 ENDA //This line ELSE 0x08 ENIF 0x07 FADI 10 BACG 0x1D FADU 10 TEX1 0x086E MNCH 0x07 STAL 1 _0x1 ENIF 0x08 ENDA Since you have an ENDA in the middle of the event, the game reads up to that point only.

AstraLunaSol Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 You could just make the prompt always appear so they can't skip the gaiden message if they didn't know it existed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT075 Posted March 2, 2013 Author Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) when in doubt spam GOTO (or JUMP) EDIT one way to test if your conditions are working or not is to display text or something (change the actual clause) to see what conditions take you where Edited March 2, 2013 by CT075 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eCut Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 It was figured out that IFCA will return false on enemy phase no matter what. I did test it by making sure to kill the boss on the ally phase and everything worked out fine; when the boss is killed on the enemy phase, it does not work properly. So I am just going to change the requirements for the Gaiden. Thanks to everyone who tried helping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFierce Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) Something is probably very obvious but I'm overlooking something. I'm using the village code Village(ID, Eventtopointto, X,Y) etc.... (probably not exact but I copy pasted the real thing in my code and EA says no problems with assembling. So yeah. Everything says it works. But when I go to the actual tile....... nothing. Land on it nothing happens, no option or anything pops up, just nothing. I'll just paste the code I was using. Location_events:Village(0x07,RecruitScottie,8,17) LOCA (also had END_MAIN at one point don't know if either make a difference) Then the events it should point to.... I don't know if location in the file makes a difference as I see one example have it below Ending events while mine is above. When I put it below I also got errors that everything wasn't divisible by 4 in the offset. I also don't know if you have to do something special to trigger the contents. If you need to be on a specific tile or something since the tile I'm using is the boats "armory". Also don't know if the events coding needs to be different for a village as opposed to a normal scene. But anyways simple little scene. RecruitScottie: FADI 0x10 BACG 0x1B FADU 0x10 ENUN MUS1 0x0042 TEX1 0x81A REMA LOU1 Scottie ENUN ENDA The coding will change but I'm just trying to get it to trigger first. There aren't any issues with the scene itself as I used an AREA code originally and that worked fine.But yeah I don't know what's wrong. I was also going to try VILL instead of the macro but I couldn't get the formatting right even after reading the event assembler lang doc. Inputted it all correct but wouldn't work. Macro 'works' but nothing is happening. First time I've tried to make a village in the game. Like always did a search before asking, tried changing things as I read it several times. Still nothing.

BoxMulder Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Village events can only be initiated on Village or House tiles. If the tile is not a Village or House tile the option to visit will not appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeyItsKyo Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I've been playing with FE8 events the past few days, and everything seems to be going smoothly except for one small thing that bugs me - whenever I use ENDA to end an event, the screen fades to black and then fades back to the map. Take, for example, this opening event I've made: BeginningScene: _LOAD1 0x1 FortGuards _LOAD1 0x1 Zambies MUS1 0x14 CAM1 [5,8] FADU 16 FlashCursor(Garcia,60) Text(0x1C, 0x929) MOVE Garcia [0,8] ENUN DISA Garcia MOVE Ross [0,8] ENUN DISA Ross MOVE Breguet [5,6] CAM1 [5,6] FlashCursor(5,6,60) Text(0x26,0x92A) CAM1 [17,20] _LOAD1 0x1 Units ENUN FlashCursor(Eirika,60) Text(0x1C,0x92C) ENDA It runs fine, but after the text is over, it fades from the cutscene to black and then fades back to the map as what normally happens after a cutscene, but then the game fades to black and then fades back to the map again. And this happens every time I use ENDA. It's not a big problem, but it's annoying having that strange fade-in/fade-out at the end of everything, even simple things like reinforcements spawning. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Edited March 8, 2013 by Kyougi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFierce Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) I don't deal with FE8 so I'm not aware of any of the differences there may be. I just know people usually do FE7 since it's more developed in the hacking community I gather. Are you trying to get it to fade back to the map out of black one time? My first suggestion would be to try adding a REMA to the end. That's usually what you add after text is over to make sure nothing screwy happens but I don't see one. My next suggestion would be to try a FADI since you have a fade out. Shouldn't you have a FADI to try fading in? Maybe one of these two things will help. But I don't know FE8 once again maybe someone else more experienced can help if these aren't the issue.

HeyItsKyo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I tried adding REMA after the text commands, but that doesn't seem to fix it. The FADU is because the chapter is set to fade to black after the chapter title, but just to double check I added a FADI at the start and it didn't fix it either. I'm 99.9% certain it's purely because of ENDA, seeing how it happens even in short event blocks like this RenZambiesSpawn: CAM1 [17,20] // Camera moves to location _LOAD1 0x1 RenZambies // Units load ENUN // Game waits for them to finish moving ENDA // Then the screen fades to black, and then back to the map for seemingly no reason, then the event ends (Just reiterating a bit because I think my previous explanation was a bit confusing) I thought maybe it was some strange screwed up macro in Event Assembler, but I couldn't find anything that looked out of the ordinary.

CT075 Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 have you tried disassembling other chapters and seeing how they're done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyItsKyo Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Wow, I feel silly now. I had actually disassembled a chapter the other night and didn't notice this. At first I just thought it had something to do with conditional branches, but I just tested it and putting _0x0228 0x7 before ENDA stops the screen from doing that annoying fade.

JFierce Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm asking a lot of questions but trying to get some groundworks going on my hack so if something isn't possible then I have to scrap the idea. What I was wondering is if there was a way to check if the player has Zero money (or even a specific amount) for a condition? I mainly ask this because I'm setting up a game that's a lot more based on money, also making it set up so character can die in a chapter but they get revived after sitting out the next chapter. (Mainly to add more storyline characters in dialogue without making it crappy 'optional' bits and pieces, actual conversations that are relevant). They also however lose money, I guess kind of like medical fees in a sense, increasingly more depending on the stage as the game gets further. But I also kind of wanted to add in a sort of check to make sure people aren't sacrificing characters just because they can later in the game. "Oh well who cares if I lose money I don't have any". So I was going to make a condition if it was possible to check if they have zero money upon death which would in turn lead to game over. I can get along without it but it would be nice to make the system a little better so it can't be abused. Just curious if it was possible. Checking for specific amounts would also make it interesting for traveling NPC merchants and such if I can't figure a way to link a shop to an NPC.

Agro Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Re: the gold checker and subtracter thing there's this. It will essentially work the same way as recruiting Farina. It'll end up being a constant gold value I'm afraid. As for everything else I'm not really sure if it can be done without fancy ASM stuff (something which I know nothing about) Edited March 13, 2013 by Agro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT075 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 you can set one amount (for the entire game) checked via the link agro showed you the actual subtracting of money might be a bit more difficult, idk if MONE works with negative values Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFierce Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Bookmarked this link. Hmmmm, well the game over money thing I believe that's simple enough as attaching to the death quote an event ID that subtracts the money. I know there is a way to remove money because I remember watching Archi's bootcamp vids a long time ago and he accidentally removed 5000 gold instead of added it in an event. But since this ASM condition works. This is what makes me curious. So I'm looking at the event Since IFAF is an ASM condition I'm guessing you trigger this (but with your own conditional ID). IFAF 0x3 0x7D3F9 At 0007D410 the first two bytes should be 1F 4E, that means 19999 in hex. At 0007D420 the first two bytes should be 20 4E, 20000 in hex. So I go into the hex editor itself and edit this data to be the amount needed in hex and if that amount isn't met it's game over? However this automatically removes money though? I'm guessing there's no way around this sadly. Is there by chance a way to add money to your team without making it pop up something like "5000 Gold Received!"? So for instance I add this condition at the end of my death quote after subtracting money from the team. It then checks if I have 1 gold. If I don't have one gold it triggers 0x65 for game over. If I do have one gold I subtract one gold. But silently give it back to the player so it isn't weird like .... "1000 Gold removed" ..... ... "1 gold received!". Or if this doesn't work, I'd have to I guess do a set amount you can lost in the game. But ugh, that's going to suck. Because early in the game the amount would be really steep, then late game the amount might be small enough so people don't really care.

CT075 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 the routine doesn't automatically remove the money, there's something else you do for that instead (idk what try disassembling to figure it out for yourself) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFierce Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Will do, it's a big enough clue to experiment off of. If it doesn't automatically deduct the money if accepted then that's perfect. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFierce Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) My original question was about something which I found was just visual glitch. MONE said it stole 500 gold which is what I wanted. But it didn't actual deduct it. So now I'm hunting through Farina's trying to find the ASM that removes gold. --------------------------------------------- Edit: Trying to find a work around I disassembled Farina's recruitment chapter (since the link before wasn't using code applicable to my EA. I removed pieces bit by bit so this ASM is what takes gold. ASMC 0x7D415 From the doc above it says At 0007D410 the first two bytes should be 1F 4E, that means 19999 in hex. At 0007D420 the first two bytes should be 20 4E, 20000 in hex. These are the offsets that hold the number removed and the condition. It seems you can only remove a single number, you can't for instance set a low requirement like 500 gold to trigger the event, then remove every bit of gold up to a maximum of 5000. You have to have 5000 gold to remove 5000 gold. Can't remove whatever gold you have left. Also I feel dumb. This is how little I know of Hex. Have to reverse the amount so 5000 would be 88 13 not 13 88. I was going crazy wondering why it wasn't working -_- Edited March 17, 2013 by JFierce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
