I am having a problem making message strings. I don't really know where to start actually. I have recently built my first screen, and there is a cave. When i go into the cave it takes me to room 80, and I want that guy, Abei, to be there telling you something, and the sword to be there. I used an online tutorial, at zc.dpshack.com and what it says in chapter 4 didn't work. Someone please help. Thanks.
First, you have to type what you want your guy to say under quest>strings. Then on the overworld screen (not the cave screen) choose your guy (doesnt really matter who), room type (special item), tile warp (cave/item room), and message string (the one you just typed) under the data menu.
Okay thanks, but when I set the tile warp, what is the dmap number supposed to be? Also what am I supposed to put on the screen number in tile warp? I left dmap on 0 and screen as 0x65, because screen 65 is where I have the cave, and when I tried to play my quest Link wouldn't move at all.
You don't need to put any screen, if the warp type is on Cave/ Item Room you will be automatically sent to screen 80, and in the Dmap you can use 0, it will send you to screen 80.
In the tile warp, normally, you have 80 as the screen number and the Dmap number is the same as the one for the the overworld Dmap from where Link warps. Screen 80 is the default screen used for caves.
However, you can also make your own cave screen, set up a separate Dmap for it, then set the tile warp to warp you to that Dmap and screen.
To make your own cave screen you must use the Dungeon type and have a level for it, you need also to use the Room->Guy->String->Amount on the Room itself (use it in the cave not in the overworld).
Ok, I tried it with screen and dmap on 0 and Link wouldnt move in the game, and then I tried dmap on 0 and screen on 80 and he still wouldn't move. I don't understand why he won't move.
Are you sure that the warp type is Cave/Item Room?
Yes, I am sure. I currently have it set on
type-cave/item room
dmap-0
screen-0x00
map 1
level 0
and it doesn't work. Link just won't move at all.
where does Link appear on the screen? top-left corner?
