Title: Disapearing event
Post by: Ramza Beolve on September 22, 2017, 07:58:32 am
I have been trying to fallow Elric's editing tutorial step by step and I have started over from scratch a number of times now. How ever i cant seem to get the opening
scene to appear as the Tutorial 1 map. it simply skips the scene entirely and goes to the first battle outside the Monestary. if you have any idea as to why this is it would help me out a lot thank you.

There's a few things it could be. C&P the event script you have in spoiler tags or make a pastebin of it.

Wait(01000)
EventEnd()
//INSTRUCTION SECTION END- TEXT START

The same script as in the tutorial on it

Well, that script is set to have the camera drop in, wait several seconds, then end the event and move on, just like Elric's tutorial intended. So if even that much isn't happening, you've either screwed something else up somehow or you're using a bad ISO.

"Wipe the screen to the basic one in the tutorial"? I don't know what that means.

Your event isn't supposed to do anything but show the field, where only Ramza walking in place should be, and then immediately end after ~10 sec with no transition effects.

When i go to change it to the basic toutorial map is what i meant i can alter the original lines and camera angles of orborne monestary but it wont let me change it to the tutorial

Then you didn't edit, save, and import the ATTACK.OUT file.

However, that changes the map of the event right from the start, not partway through. I'm not sure why you thought it would change at the end of the event, and your phrasing of saying the game was skipping the event really threw me off.

I Have edited and save the attack.out file and imported it back into the iso as per instructed in the tutorial still doesnt work

Dude.

Learn to crop pictures and put too-large ones in spoiler tags.

And that's a screenshot of 000 set to Tutorial (1). Did you also set 001 to it? Are you sure you saved and then imported the right file?

We have a button that embeds Youtube videos. That's fine.

While you're at it, go back and edit your massively oversized post. Put spoiler tags in it so it doesn't blow out the page by default.

Hmm. Yeah, that looks like it's all being done properly. It's possible the ISO itself is bad... you might have accidentally done something with an earlier patching attempt that screwed it up somehow. I know I've seen a fair few issues while working on events due to that. Have you tried working from a fresh copy of FFT?

I have and this is my 3rd diffrent iso as well

I'm at a loss, then. Best I could recommend would be to move up to the newest tools, start from scratch, and see if that clears up. Some of the event commands will be different from Elric's tutorial, but both the newest EVSP & the wiki (http://ffhacktics.com/wiki/Event_Instructions) will explain everything.

It's outright skipping the first event. Could be a camera issue or the fact that you only give a 10 second wait before the event ends.
Title: Re: Disapearing event
Post by: Ramza Beolve on October 03, 2017, 07:49:29 am
Its the same set up as in your tutorial i can try making it last longer and see if that works i suppose
Title: Re: Disapearing event
Post by: Nyzer on October 03, 2017, 11:31:20 am
I'm just now noticing that your EVSP folder is all about version 2.0. That might be the issue - because Elric's event tutorial uses an older set of commands, not all of which are properly formatted for the newest config.

Post by: Ramza Beolve on October 03, 2017, 12:08:25 pm
he hasnt updated the tutorial forum for a new version?
Title: Re: Disapearing event
Post by: Nyzer on October 03, 2017, 12:28:56 pm
No, the last edit was in 2014. Learning the basics with an older version of the config won't hinder you at all, so further editing the six-year-old tutorial has been on the back burner compared to further work on Jot5/TLW, let alone real-life things like raising his kid. :P

But that's why his tutorial notes at the start that there's a new config file that he hasn't yet changed the tutorial for, as well as directly linking you to the compatible version of EVSP.
