Fell free to post you problems, ect.

So yesterday i was having big problems with that event of mine, and i started removing random sections of the instruction and shit to see what was happening.

Here is what i must remove to get it working (bold) or yet i can remove this too (underlined), yet i need that text to show up. I think it is a issue with closedialog, because when i put it, the battle starts, but there is no dark screen.

I also can't get any other message afther that one, and right now what it does is display properly, but then the black screen comes up, then it stays there forever, the ''display condition'' dosen't work. Seems WaitForInstruction(r3600) is being messed up by that peticular message.

Remove this

Another problem may be too much text on the same line. You didn't post it so I can't know. Just make sure you make use of line breaks {br}.

Wow, din't know the text offset could be that much of a bicth!

Thanks Zodiac, problem fixed, and better.

(Il post more notes about what others things i realised)

How does the text offset work Zodiac, and what gets messed up by removing it? I always remove it but I worry about what I'm messing up.

You should only keep the text offset if you're saving in a quicksave file.
Quicksaves are definitely way faster for event creation as you can make a savestate during an event, like during a DisplayMessage instruction or whatever and use the compiler to compile directly to the event. Just make sure you don't edit instructions that already happened. You won't have to load the event completely again and you'll see the result of your edits within seconds, if not less.

Normally if there is no set text offset the compiler will compile the text right after the event instructions. Whoever when the event is already loaded, you can't change the text offset anymore, so you should have it set so that if you add or remove instructions, the text won't move and will still load properly.

The disadvantage of this is that you need to watch out not to overwrite the next event with text or even the current event's instructions (like Kokojo did).

Dude... Where the crap do I edit events from?

Zodiac made an app for it.
