I am stumped beyond reason with this thing. I've mostly figured out how to do events in detail, and I've been having a load of fun with that. However, to make my "dream" patch I require a few.."new" events.
There is no real "attack.out editor" tutorial that I see. I looked around a bit, and if I missed it, I apologized.
I tried to use the event 193 (unused according to http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Event_Scripts_and_Scenario_Order_correlation ), tie it to a "test" event in the ENTD, and change the map to Warjilis Trade City. However, the reality is that it sends me to a "black" version of Orbornne with Agrias, Lavian, and Alicia as the only units. They are not in the ENTD I set the attack.out editor to use, nor is the map what I set it up for. I actually tried several other unused ENTD's and got the same result.
I then tied it to other, well known events to see if I could simply replace events. I got mixed results. I tried 100, which was Grog hill, and the event seems to be uneditable with the attack.out by the use of "event script". Does "Event script" even do anything, by the way?
I then tried 45, which was Windmill Shed. Then tried to send it to 7 , the first event in Military Academy Auditorium from Windmill shed so after the event in Windmill Shed it would follow the regular game path once again. However, I got a loop. This is how it would go:
Orbornne event 1
Orbornne event 2
Orbornne event 3 (Should go to 45 windmill shed)
Windmill Shed with Orbornne event 1s text/events
then it loops back to Orbornne event 2.
I have messed with these 4 events so hard and I cannot get it off this loop. I don't even know WHY it is using Orbornne 1s event. I can't get it to change no matter what I do. The only thing I completely understand in the attack.out editor is that I can change the maps of already used events. Nothing else is making any sense to me at all, because everything I expect it to do is doing something completely random.
Anyway, I want to know my limitations with this thing because it definitely will change what I was going to do. There are plenty of events I am willing to scrap if need be. Is it even possible to make events that normally didn't have a battle, have a battle? I wouldn't even need a battle formation screen, it would be like that delita+ovelia battle vs the ninjas in WotL.
I hope someone can help me, event editing is becoming a fun hobby.
