Event Decompiler & Event Compiler

[Xifanie]

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.

Wonderful.  So...

change decompiled text
copy/paste whole event in event.txt
set the offset in config.ini
recompile
replace with CD mage.

and... voila!

[philsov]

more script queries, half for personal edification, half for project funsies.  Below are excerpts from several events for comparative purposes.  Has anyone identified what all these commands are?

Event 004 - Orbonne Start:

Agrias:
DisplayMessage(x10,x11,x0001,x34,x00,x00,+00000,+00000,+00000,x01)

Can I change the
FFT initial text(zodiac brave story) and the Alazam's text ?
also change their musics themes.

[Cheetah]

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.

Well, not really.

I have tried changing Alazam's text and it works flawlessly.
You may have problems with the actual colors in-game, though.

[Delano]

Please somebody help me.
I want change the caracther's movements in senes and the caracthers what appears.

For example:Change garfigarion by Delita and change his movements in the scene.

I already see the instructions kokojo posts, but I can understand that numbers.

[Kokojo]

Delano, I should be finishing my event editing tutorial this night. Please be patient.

[Delano]

Okay I will.
I tryed to read that instructions you post but it was a little
hard to understand, but I wait this tutorial.
Thanks.

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.

Thank you.


Mod Edit: Don't stretch the pages!

can somebody tell me why I cant get my compiler to compile? I double click it and it acts like it wants to load forever and ever then it finally loads and I hit the compile button and it freezes lol

[philsov]

can you c/p your event.txt file?  Spoiler it too, if you please.

[Grillv20]

nvm I figured it out

[formerdeathcorps]

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)

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.
