Prep screen troubles.

[An_Axem_Ranger]

That topic description seems pretty silly to put now; if I knew what was wrong, I wouldn't be posting this.

Anyway, I'm trying to make a FE7 hack, and everything seems to be going fine so far, but I can't for the life of me get the preparations screen to work.

In my chapter events, I'll have the Opening_event end with the "ENDB" command which is supposed to take the player to the prep screen when the event is over. In the Nightmare Chapter Data Editor Module in FEditor Adv, I always have the preparations screen enabled in the correct chapter. Yet it still doesn't work. If I end the opening event with the "ENDB" command, when I actually try to play test it, it will skip the opening event entirely and go straight to the ending event.

If you need me to be more specific about anything, ask me an I'll try to provide more detail.

Any ideas?

We'd need to see your script to be able to figure out what's wrong. Also, there's a thread for event assembling in the ROM hacking section.

[An_Axem_Ranger]

Well, I'm not sure if the event assembling itself is the problem or something else, so I thought it might be better to ask here.

Here's the script. This isn't the only chapter I can't get the prep screen to work on, so there must be some error I'm consistently making or something.

Hm. The best thing to do is post this in the Event Assembler Questions Thread, because i'm not seeing anything that would cause it to skip the opening event. The only things i'd be able to suggest is making absolutely sure you have the prep screen set in the proper chapter, that you have the proper victory condition already set in nightmare, and that your events are in the proper spot.

Also, the code I use is GotoPrepScreen, you could try that, but if you've gotten it to work with ENDB than that suggestion is kinda moot. Sorry I couldn't help ya more.

I appreciate you trying to help. I'll ask there and see if anyone can help me there.

The prep screen is definitely set to be enabled in the proper chapters as well as victory conditions. But I have yet to get the ENDB command to work at all, so I think I'll try your GotoPrepScreen suggestion.
