I'm creating this topic for 2 reasons; to announce version 2.00 and to talk about instructions because MANY of them still have undiscovered uses and some, even byte length.
Basically anyone who wishes to play a bit with events can post their discoveries and update their CONFIG.INI file acordingly.

Now this is amazing. I can find the events and text so much more easily.
Though I do have a question at the moment. When event editing, do you use save states to check your changes? I typically use save states starting at the beginning of the event, but recently I tried changing events within the save state. Unfortunately I could not find the event that I was looking for within the save state.

Well first of all you have to be within the event, not the loading screen. As soon as you see something like the map, you can save. Using savestates may make you miss the first instructions though, but this all depends on what you want to do.
After that just search for 0xF2F2F2F2 and you'll fall directly where the event starts.
Problem with savestates is that I have no idea where the text pointer is gone (it's replaced with the 0xF2F2F2F2 I mentioned above). So if you plan to add a lot of instruction with just a savestate I suggest increasing the pointer and moving the text accordingly.
Only tricky thing is finding which is the good event within TEST.EVT. >_>
Well I still highly recommend doing it with savestates as you can change something that will happen directly after a second or two or after you manually close the dialog box.
Oh right, I need to work on a camera tutorial now. ;o

I envy you guys, because I downloaded this thing and I just can't understand it. At all. I suppose I haven't been playing with the hacking tools long enough to know how to use this one.

It should be as much compatible as the PSX version.
Maybe the PSP version has 2-3 more instructions, I don't know. Won't change anything in any case.

2.02
A Text Compiler will be included with the Event Decompiler from now on. Please give feedback, I'm unsure if it's 100% functional.

Quote from: "Zodiac"Only tricky thing is finding which is the good event within TEST.EVT. >_>Ahhhh. I downloaded this program last night while I was half-asleep. I got around to messing around with it today and I was worried something went wrong when I found the same dialogue over and over again.
Hmm, would it possible in future versions of the program to... I don't know, blank out the not-so-good events if we can find and point them out?
It's a truly great program! I can't wait to see what the modding community is able to come up with.

Well, actually everything my decompiler decompiles are good events.
LastingDawn explained to me that the multiple events are each used depening on what happens.
Like when saving Mustadio, Algus or Boco they give you the choice to help them or not. You can create a completely different scenario based on the answer if you want.
There's nothing I can do about the dummy text.
LastingDawn also made a small list which you might find very interesting:

Yes. Someone should probably make a TEST.EVT patch to remove all the dummy text, that would make things easier.

Also, warning to anyone attempting custom dialogue: there's a limit to how many characters you can have per line. I don't know if that was already common knowledge, but I just found that out the hard way.

Ugh. Well, I was *wrong* apparantely. I had left a bracket off a line-break.
*facepalm*
Edit/Update: Ha! I managed to mess up again... I've edited the dialogue for the opening scene (using a re-translation found on GameFAQs) and among a few things:
1.) Some of Gaf's lines aren't appearing.
2.) Simon and Ovelia have switched dialogue. Simon asks Ramza if he "has a problem."
3.) No more dialogue appears once Agrias rushes out the door, thus "freezing" the game.
Still though, I'm quite enjoying this.

Don't forget to break lines with {br} often else the game will try to display a message box wider then the screen and freeze.
As for your other problem, you eitehr deleted a whole message (including {end})
the number of {end} is what determines the real message ID.
So if you deleted a message make sure you put and {end} at where the message was, even if it's gonna be alone. That will fix your problem.

Well, funnily enough, the missing Gafgarion line was missing an {end}, but even with it, it still wasn't appearing. The rest of the dialogue is fine and everyone is speaking their appropriate lines again.
Fix:
The "enough respect" line was too long, and instead of freezing, it just skipped that entire dialogue... take that for what you will.
Lines of dialogue shouldn't go more than 45 characters without a line break. ({font} & {br} do not count towards that limit.)
I certainly hope all my n00bish mistakes keep others from making them.

There's nothing I can do about the dummy text.
What if you put in a routine that checks each event's program section for display message commands and the message numbers passed to them as arguments, and then blank out or simply decline to dump the remaining messages?
That way the decompiler could be configured to dump only messages that are actually called up in a given event.

I like the idea but it's jsut too much trouble compared to a little patch.

Big news. I have found out how to get effects working in events. I don't fully understand everything and it might create a few glitches, but I have a few working correctly now. Here is an example code.
{18}(r1E0282000000)
{8A}()
{1C}(r02)
{8B}()
{18} is the call for the effect and there is a great description of all the values already in Zodiacs Event Instructions Descriptions. {8A} and {8B} seem to be key to having the effect actually fire. They don't seem to be right after the effect instruction and there can be stuff contained within them, but they both need to be there for the effect to fire at all. I don't know what {1C} does and it doesn't seem necessary so far for the effect to fire.
So still lots of unknown information but this is at least a start so others can start experiment. It is such great fun.

Get out Test.evt
Start the decompiler
Make the changes in the file, save
Start the compiler
Then where do i put back Test.evt ?

cheetah, with the ultima casting off screen... did you try setting a delay after the effect casting instruction, a delay long enough for the spell to finish?
when i was testing it out on the rescue algus scene the next action in the script was for me to push a button making the text move to the next message... if i hit it, the spell would be off screen, but if i left it alone and waited it displayed properly...

I found the list in battle.bin but I forgot to save it. ;o
This will help me find it again.
The stupid thing in all this is that there is a custom list in BATTLE.BIN just for UseSkill only. Mmmm I should asm hack to destroy that stupid list because it only allows like 12-16 different Effects to be used (outside of abilities).

Small bug-thing. The event compiler will not work if you add any info to the config.ini in the section naming the events. It my be a good idea to make the complier read the config.ini to avoid problems like this
Example
Original
[10]
name=DisplayMessage
strc=bbbbbbbrrrb
lngt=15
Changed
[10]
name={10}DisplayMessage
strc=bbbbbbbrrrb
lngt=15
Example
Original
[10]
name=DisplayMessage
strc=bbbbbbbrrrb
lngt=15
Changed
[10]
name={10}DisplayMessage
strc=bbbbbbbrrrb
lngt=15

the decompiler and compiler only works with the config.ini.
Why it doesn't work is because you are using the openchar ("{") as the first character. Because of that my compiler thinks it only has to read until the closechar and right after that there is supposed to be a parenthesis.

Ok then. I was trying to keep it consistant with the unnamed functions which use those characters to enclose the number. A option to inclulde it for defined ones would be nice, easier for some people to find remember what one does what and for looking up info on it.

Huge CONFIG.INI update.
Make sure you compile all your events before updating!!!
All the instruction names will fit with those on the site.

{48}()
probably already know this...
this was in the "exploding frog" event... it appears that it called rafa's sprite in (since it wasnt in the event at all normally, just 3 ramzas)

Hmm that is very interesting Zozma. It looks like it takes the unit ID (19), and then replaces it with the designated sprite (30B). This is definitely worth doing a bit of research into. Good find.

does this mean it sets status? perhaps if you see this instruction at bed desert when balk poisons you..?

{43}(r03) = +10 brave to all Blue Team
{43}(r04) = Makes all enemies run away
I don't know about the others but 01-09 seems to be used.
Strange that you mention it as I only found this 2 days ago.

its only because i just now needed it for gariland. i had to find a substitute because i couldnt find what i really wanted
but this "run away" is that the thing where they turn blue and vanish?
cause that was what i was really going for.. just not the entire team...

Decompile TEST.EVT and it will create a file called PSX Events.txt. Then open it and copy ONE event. The range you should copy starts from Offset(x????????) to the latest valid text line for the event; that is non-dummy text.
Paste it over event.txt.

I did that, but it still didn't change the text for the dialogue at the beginning of the battle, right after the conditions.
A good example is Mandalia Plains. After the conditions are set, the camera pans to Algus and he says;
Algus
"Reinforcements?
Thank God!"
but Lasting Dawn changed that to;
Lavian
"Tch...
Mercenaries."
How do I do that successfully?

The trouble with the PSX events are (truly made much simpler on the PSP version because of the lack of dummy text) the tons of dummy text which don't belong to that specific event, take a look at Scenario Order and Correlation on the wikipedia page to see how little and how much are actually linked between scenarios.

The first event script of all the scenario will only call the text before the conditions. Now when different things happens, such as Algus' first turn, another event is called and it will only use the text within THAT event, and not the first one write that only calls the first lines.
To be honest, it's more wasted space than anything else. You could just empty the unused lines and it would only free space, whoever unless you really extend the event, you won't need that extra space.
Basically you'll have to edit the text in all the used events for the battle. That is if you modify all the lines of course.

Quote from: "Zodiac"To be honest, it's more wasted space than anything else. You could just empty the unused lines and it would only free space, whoever unless you really extend the event, you won't need that extra space.
So one could eliminate unused space for more dialogue. Would it be possible to use these duplicate line to create new events?

Hi Zodiac, I am new in the forum, and i need help with compiler.
I used a file to test (event.txt). <<<Please check file for me.>>>
I modify "Go d" by "Deus" and do compilation... and after 30 minutes not compiled. It is very delayed? I´m used windows Vista.
I just modify a word to see as would be compiled and inserted in the game, but the compiler took over and then I gave up.
I must modify something in CONFIG.INI?
Thx.

Arcanus, i suggest you get onto the chat for more awnsers, way faster.
http://ffhacktics.com/chat/nick=Arcanus (http://ffhacktics.com/chat/nick=Arcanus)
The event is fine, it should work.
Moreso, i think you just don't get it, it's already changed. Compiling takes 2.5 seconds, and tells you if there is an error, if there is none, you get no message. Don't forget you have to import it into your ISO using something like CDmage.

I just tested with your files and it compiled fine.
So:
1- It's because of Vista (is it possible to run in XP mode?)
or
2- It actually compiled
You can tell that it's done compiling when the cursor hourglass disappears. Or if you want a real proof, go in CONFIG.INI and set Popup=1.

If I make changes to this event's script, I then delete Text(x000000FC) to make sure the changes go through at recompile?

If you only change the script and not the event's code, that's not necessary. The primary use for the Text tag is to save directly to pSX quicksaves for testing.

set the offset in config.ini
recompile
replace with CD mage.
and... voila!

Alazam's text is actually a graphic. So ShiShi can replace it but then you also have to have some coding knowledge to be able to actually make it run correct. Takes some real coding knowledge. You can change the music in quite a few places. For battles change the music through the attack.out information and you can set two different songs. To trigger different songs is an event instruction. For the world map and stuff it is more complicated.

Hooooooo ok.
Attached is every single PSX event present, drawn from the test.evt, seperated by event, with all dummy text removed. Feel free to use this for any event editing task as desired. Enjoy
Just note that currently you will either need to renumber the event text (always start with 1 and go from there) or add in a series of {end} command at the start of the dialogues (if the first message is x005, add in four {ends} before the messages start). Failure to do one of these will result in horribly compiled events. Also, some of the headers are a bit messed up; a series of underscores without a // in front of it is asking for trouble.

Zodiac, a few comments.
1) To save time, can the next version please have a functioning multi-compiler? (This means an event.txt file with two events with proper offset locations and EventEnd() tags will compile correctly.)
2) Certain in-battle events like the Zirekile Victory (Event 088) are missing. These can be found whenever event numbers jump by 3.
3) The Decompiler has slight errors such as after choice scripts or when reading scripts where the last message is not said by any person. Examples are included below.
//Message 04
Ramza:
Choice A
Choice B{}More words Ramza says{}
//Message 05 (technically, this is message 6)
Agrias:
Words...
OR
Igros Castle--Beoulve Residence:
Offset (xMN000)
Message 12
Message 1-11
EventEnd()
//Message 1
Golagros
...
//Message 2
Thief
...
...
//Message 11
Zalbag
...
//Message 12 (does not show up with Decompiler because it has no author)
[]text[]
Otherwise, your event compiler is truly helpful. The FFH main site should be updated to properly display all that we now know about event instructions.

So decompiled and change one thing and went to compile to test it quick. But this pops up when I start the compile process. Then I took a brand new test.evt and decompiled and then went to compile it to make sure I didn't make a bad mistake with my first attempt but the error still pops up.

delete event.txt. It contains old instruction and that's why it doesn't compile.

I deleted the 13kb event.txt but now it says File Not Found whenever I start the compile.

yeah, create your own event.txt or link to an event file by editing CONFIG.INI.
Don't forget to decompile with Multi=1 in CONFIG.INI to have 1 event per file.

O. That explains it. Thanks.
EDIT: I set the multi to 1 and it makes a PSX Events folder with a bunch of EVT txt files. What do I do with these once I edit them?

There's this weird error I come across while trying to use the Event Compiler. It didn't work in default Windows 7 settings (not surprising), but when I run it in Windows XP SP2 settings, it has an error. TEST.EVT and event.txt are in the same folder as the compiler, btw.
(http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n125/szewei1/errorsevent.png)
One on the left is when I try to run it with default settings, one on the right is when I use XP compatibility mode.
Here are my config.ini settings if you need them, I think they are the default settings though.

Try writing the absolute paths in config.ini
Like
TESTEVT='C:\users\desktop\Event Editor\TEST.EVT'
TEXTFILE='C:\users\desktop\Event Editor\event.txt'
Like
TESTEVT='C:\users\desktop\Event Editor\TEST.EVT'
TEXTFILE='C:\users\desktop\Event Editor\event.txt'

I got "I/O error 123" after I changed those to absolute paths.

I'm pretty sure that means it worked correctly. Test the event and see if the new event loads correctly.

Just reimport test.evt and go to the event that you replaced in-game. :)

Somewhere Philsov has a collection of dummy-free events that you can freely edit for easy use. You might want to PM him and get those.
