that kinda helps, you should make a video tutorial and put it on youtube that would be a lot easier

if so what do i change to make it show text?


You didn't place your config file in the same folder as your Event Compiler, Event Decompiler, and TEST.EVT.  That's the most likely reason you're getting unknown character errors instead of text displayed.

Bracketed hex such as {D11A} is how the Event Decompiler and Compiler handles characters it doesn't understand how to export into notepad as plain text.  {D11A} is a long dash, for those curious.  Basically, you've somehow misplaced your configuration file and now it's exporting everything as unknown characters / instructions.  Once you fix this, it should work and display events as plain text.

ok i got the text to appear but another question i have is why my compiler wont work anymore, it says file not found, why is that?

RavenOfRazgriz

To compile events, you need something to compile it into (A quicksave, TEST.EVT, etc.) that is correctly named, and what you're trying to compile must be named "event.txt".  Any other name is invalid.

fftDamion

how do you create the event.txt file cause mine didnt make one, am i missing a step?
