Making new talk events

i'm trying to make a new person event, and I use free space from the ROM as the script bank. but I get stuck at jumptextfaceplayer 0x(what numbers go here?). so I just try using the next free space and I compile it, then I open it back up then the text is replaced with a bunch of #raw's. what do I do?!

Do this instead

jumptextfaceplayer :text

:text
= Text here.\nCan be anything.\e

By using a label instead of a defined address, pksv will automatically find the next available free space and put your text there, and calculate the pointer automagically.

thank you! c: another question, when I try to change the text of an already existing event, when I compile it then bring it back up the text is the same as before...

That's odd. Did you close Johtomap and re-open it after you compiled the script like the pop-up asks you to?

KikiKaiKai · 2012-11-17 13:50:16

oh, no.... was I supposed to?

What Mateo wanted to say is that, did you had another program with the rom opened at the same time and used its Save function after writing the script with PKSV and compiling it? This would have "removed" the script you wrote with PKSV.

^ Yep, that's what I meant. The reason I specifically said Johtomap was because it is the most common way people open someone's script in PKSV, and after you compile a script and switch back to Johtomap, Johtomap gives you a dialogue saying "The rom has been modified by an external program, please re-open the rom before continuing" or something to that effect.

oh... maybe that explains why I changed New Bark Town's height and width to 13 and 13 then in the game the map is glitched, like my edition of Route 29 smoshed too further down by a house...

No, that's because you'll have to edit the connection data when you change the map size.
