My event is ending early.

[advfox]

When my event loads, the camera reveals the scene, and Ramza starts walking like he's supposed to. Shortly after he stops, the event cuts to black, and the game loads the World Map. I can't find any obvious issues in the instructions:

When posting an event, please post the whole thing. My guess is that it's the offset, or specifically that you didn't remove the Text Offset before compiling. You didn't post that part though

There are several reasons this can happen, so let's start with that.

(Also, when I say to post the whole event I literally mean, hit Control+A then copy and paste the entire thing, dialogue and all. Events aren't one of those things that you can just paste a chunk of and try to debug it, since this issues can be caused elsewhere, such as in the dialogue themselves, offsets, etc)

[advfox]

Alright, I updated the post to include everything.

[Xifanie]

Event looks fine to me... usually the best way to discover what's wrong with your event is by deleting stuff until it works. Gradually pinpoint the problem then you'll have your answer.

You'll want to avoid unknown instructions because some CAN break your event. We don't know what they do after all, so we don't know when they're supposed to work and when not. I also see you're using an old version of the configuration and I highly suggest that you update, because some of those are now documented; http://ffhacktics.com/smf/index.php?topic=10218.0.

PS: I see Marche is in your event... I sure hope you're not using that terrible sprite.

[3lric]

Did you make this event from scratch? I'm curious as to where all the 3E commands are coming from, as that is generally used at the end of any event rather than the beginning. (That's the color screen effect)

Any reason you haven't updated to the new config.ini? Might make it easier on both you and the people helping.

Try commenting out the 3E commands as well as the WaitForInstruction 0C commands and see if this helps.
Also, get rid of the second {63} command. You only need one in this instance.

[advfox]

I made the event from scratch, but I referred to existing events for some of the commands since I assumed they were vital for an event to work properly.

I updated the config.ini and took out the commands you suggested. Now, when I try to compile the event, an error message pops up that reads 'r' is not a valid integer value.

[Xifanie]

There is no backwards compatibility. You have to compile all your events with the old configuration, then decompile them with the new one.

[Jumza]

This was all part of Xif's above post

[advfox]

I compiled my events with the old config.ini, decompiled them with the new one, and then compiled the event in question.

I still encountered the same problem, so I started stripping the event of everything, piece by piece. When I took out all of the dialog instructions, the event actually did what it was supposed to do past that point. So I guess I'll just try to redo all of the dialog and their instructions, and maybe I can get this event working right.
