Event Decompiler & Event Compiler

[Kenshin72]

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.

[Kenshin72]

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.

[Kenshin72]

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.

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.

[Zetaro]

how do i do that?.....sorry im new to this kinda thing. try to bear with me.

[Eternal]

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

[Zetaro]

thanks man. it works, but how can i edit other events?

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.
