Event Assembler Questions Thread

How does one enable the Fortune option in the Preparations Screen? (FE7)

[MarkyJoe1990]

Heya Nintenlord, I'm currently working on a method to mass insert events and maps that would save a lot of space, AND change their pointers to accomodate to streamline the process of inserting maps and events. However, I'm coming across an issue.

When I try to insert a raw binary file (in theory, this would be a raw map created in tiled), I get this error.

my code looks like this

#define DISABLE_TUTORIALS
#include EAstdlib.event

ORG 0xD00000
#incbin derp.bin

If my code for doors/chests looked like this(using evential to get this):

Location_events:

//SecretShop(Secret,1,11)

Seize(47,14)

Door(6,14)

Door(4,10)

Door(4,7)

Door(4,4)

Door(4,2)

Door(10,3)

Door(10,7)

Door(17,6)

Door(22,6)

Door(20,1)

Door(24,17)

Door(25,16)

Door(25,14)

Door(26,10)

Door(19,10)

Door(28,16)

Door(44,13)

Door(44,17)

Chest(0x70,1,1)

ChestMoney(10000,14,16)

Chest(0x0B,15,16)

Chest(0x43,23,8)

Chest(0x8C,23,1)

END_MAIN

where would I put the tile ID?

[Agro]

You mean the tile changes?

[Shamison]

I think i'm a bit confused here. If you scroll up a bit you will see my question I asked. The answer I got was that each tile/chest change should have a tile ID. I don't quite know what that means/is referring to.

[Agro]

Tile change IDs go in the tile changes section, which is outlined in Arch's event tutorial and also in the Ultimate Tutorial. You should only need to do those if you're doing them manually (and not with the Tiled method). Have a read of them, and report back if you still don't understand.

[Shamison]

I'm doing the tiled method that's why I'm confused.

[Solum]

The Tiled method needs you to enter an ID for each map change layer

Height

ID >>This<<

Width

X

Y

So yeah. If you wanna use a code like MAC1 for a specific map change, you'll have to use his Tiled ID

MAC1 0x01 0x0

And get something like this for example.

[Shamison]

Yeah I have a tiled ID in the program but does this mean the Door(X,Y) code not work for tiled then?

[Solum]

It works. The doors automatically trigger the tile change when you open it with a key in_game, it does work with Tiled. But you still have to specify the ID.

Beside, there's some things that need the code I put before. Like vertical doors. ( cf arch's Tuto )

Chests also don't need a forced map change to trigger when you use the "Chest" command ingame.

[Shamison]

So do I put Door(X,Y) 0xID?

[Agro]

Seriously, fucking look at the tutorials and they'll tell you what to do. If that fails, just try it. Stop asking stupid questions and just do it.

[Shamison]

The reason I keep asking is because I have it as it says in the tutorial and I have the ID in tiled and it still doesn't work.

Hello, i have another problem xD When i inserted the code of the Chapter 1 in event assembler, the Rom was screwed because FEditor says "There was an error processing one or more file streams". Luckyly, i had a Backup of the Rom. When i tried again, the same problem triggered. Then, with another Backup, i tried again, with a different ORG for the events. And the rom was screwed by FEditor again.

My code is still a "beta" so it it just a little try which will be edited, but i don't know why FEditor don't open the rom after i assemble it. I don't think it's an offset problem because, as i wrote, i tried with another. Can you help me, please? Here is the code:

Did you check to see if there was anything at 0x100F8C0? It's one thing to say "I don't think that there's anything there" and another to say "there is nothing I'm overwriting at 0x100F8C0". You need to actually check if anything is there and if FEditor is writing anything to that address. It could be that the other address you tried was overwriting important FEditor data as well.

Often you'll get a file stream error if the ROM has been opened in more than one program at a time and it becomes "locked" from being edited by other programs.

I "expanded" the rom with HxD and i saw 100F8C0, so i don't think there was already anything in that space. (maybe i'm failing here)

I tried with 100F8B0, too... But it was the same :\

I opened FEditor without any other programs with the Rom opened.

[Agro]

So you changed the address by... 0x10 bytes. Not a big difference, and especially since you moved it further back in the ROM I'm not surprised it didn't make a difference. Try making some changes with FEditor and see if anything at 0x100F8C0 changes. If it does, then you should have your answer

It works now!! Thanks a lot! :D

Awesome. Just remember to keep track of what's going where and leave a reasonable amount of free space for your events and you shouldn't run into this kind of issue again.

Alright, post your whole events file--need to see you're doing everything right.

There may tiny error I haven't noticed yet that don't have to do with the doors but that's because I haven't been worrying an]bout more than the tile changes right now.

[Solum]

So... Did you set a different ID for all the Doors and chests in Tiled ?

Like... In your events there's no problem about doors and chests. So if it's screwed up it's in Tiled that you have to search.

[Shamison]

No I just double checked all 24 of my tiled changes and their ID are seperate and set in order starting with 0 at 1,1.

[Agro]

Just so we're clear, you did the whole "write pointer" thing with the Tiled map inserter as well, right? And you double checked that the pointers have all been written correctly?

Edited April 17, 2014 by Agro

[Shamison]

Hmm not sure I will re insert it with pointers. Does it matter what pointers i use? I never understood the difference even after reading all the tutorials.
