Event Decompiler & Event Compiler

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.

Xifanie

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

Love what you're seeing? https://supportus.ffhacktics.com/ 💜 it's really appreciated

Anything is possible as long as it is within the hardware's limits. (ie. disc space, RAM, Video RAM, processor, etc.)

<Raijinili> remember that? it was awful

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

Xifanie

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.



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.
[Settings]

TESTEVT='TEST.EVT'
TEXTFILE='event.txt'
Offset='00004000'
MultiCompile=0
PSP=0
Rip=1
DisplayText=1
RawText=1
Popup=1
Multi=0
DisplayOffsets=0
OpenChar={
CloseChar=}
PreText=''
Help=1
:gay:

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'

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.
