XSE Episode 1: Basic Talk Script

For this tutorial, you'll need:

  • AdvanceMap
  • XSE (obviously)
  • Winrar
Let's start off with opening AdvanceMap.


  1. Open Advancemap (Through WinRar)
  2. Click "File"
  3. Look for you rom.
  4. Click it.
  5. Click "Open".
Alright, here is the path for most of the towns:

The rom opened here is Pokemon Fire Red.
For Emerald:

From header >>> 1 >>> Select Town/ City

Now we'll return to both versions.
Look for a desired sprite. Once you CLICK on it, you will see this:
on the right bar.

Look for the Script Offset and change it to a VALID OFFSET. (let''s say $80000)

Then, open XSE and your rom in it.

Here is the full script:
We will go through them one by one.

#dynamic 0x80000

As you can see, 800000 is the offset I gave the chosen person.
Now, #dynamic will always appear on the same line and all the scripts you create.

Format:
#dynamic 0x(offset given)

#org @start

After @ is a name.
You can change it to anything, as long as it doesn't have spaces.

Valid names:
usuck, potatoman, seacucumber, gmorninmaranaw

INVALID names:
u suck, potato man, sea cucumber, dont even try

Format:
#org @(any name without spaces)

lock

Lock means that when you are talking to the NPC assigned to this script, the world will stop. As in, anything moving on the background will stop so you can talk to the NPC.

faceplayer

The name says it all.

msgbox @talk1 0x6

Alright, we will go with each part.

msgbox @talk1

The @ thing is the same as #org.

0x6

0x6 is the message type. This means that the script should have lock, faceplayer and release commands.

0x2 is for a type without lock, faceplayer and release.
0x3 is for signposts.
0x4 is the same as 0x2, but closeonkeypress is required to close it.
0x5 is for yes/no questions.

Script format

msgbox @(any name without any spaces) (message type)

release and end

End ends all infinite loops. Anyway, all you need to know is that end is VERY important.

#org @talk1

This #org has to follow msgbox since the code defines the first part of the text box. This one defines the second, which is the text.

The text adjuster

If you saw on the photo, there was a textbox named "Text Adjuster". To access it, you need to do Ctrl  +  T. 
  • To go to the next extbox, you need to hit enter twice.
Note: This post will be continued in some hours.

Pokemon Rom Hacking Tutorial (Game)

When I post this, the game will not yet be made because this was made in advance. Pokemon Rom Hacking Tutorial Now, this game will showcase the rom hacking tutorials, which all will be put in the game. An example of this is a group of guys in Pewter city blocking the exit. They are going to be used to train you guys. The only way you could continue is if you remove them with AdvanceMap (or any usable mapping software) or move them away somewhere random. Smart, eh? Anyway, the first towns will be the basics. There's also the XSE Province from Viridian to Cerulean, for tutorial purposes. In Viridian, there's a setflag area, where MOST  of the setflags are used. This game is a bit likely to be released in 2019, but I'm positive this will be finished before December ends. Now, rom hacking will be easier just by playing a game :) Thus ending this announcement.
