Same flowscript errors every time I recompile | Persona Modding | Page 5

#

like if i wanted to make text red or green or blue or whatever?

#

what's the tag and associated number?

#

usually i can think of some examples or where those are but i'm blanking right now

#

moddaman would know yosukepensive

#

that man knows everything

#

alright well mod works, that was like stupidly easy

#

i also feel like i coded it like, suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuper poorly

#

it works though!

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 2:27 AM

#

safe ether moddaman would know <:yosukepensive:967512336560717914>

Funnily enough that's smth I actually don't really know at least off the top of my head lol

Never bothered writing down what colours correspond to which ID so any I did find from briefly playing with the clr tag I've already forgor 💀 lol

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

damn

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

I do remember some ids would crash the game even from testing at one point but maybe that was just a skill issue on my end idk, would have to go back and try again to be sure lol

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:28 AM

#

sadge

#

guess ill try and remember some times color was used

#

i can only think of red for when you unlock orpheus

#

or like blue whenever you have a matching persona arcana

#

i was hoping i could do green or purple or some shit lol

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 2:29 AM

#

I think there's a purple colour that's used when mitsuru tells you about how the door lets you go to the highest floor you were on last actually

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

oh yeah?

#

shit ok

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

I remember needing to find the right ID for that when I was making Return To Highest Floor for P3F

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

according to the game dump the color tag looks like this

#

[f 0 5 65278][f 2 1][f 3 1 1 0 0 0]> [f 0 1 1]Orpheus[f 0 1 0] regained its original form.[n][f 1 3 65535][f 1 1][e]

#

f 0 1 1 for red?

#

and i assume the f 0 1 0 is for clearing the color right?

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

I think 0 is just the black colour

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:31 AM

#

yeah the text is black so i guess it's resetting it in that way

#

yeah f 0 1 3 appears to be the purple color

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 2:48 AM

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

getting a compiling error in aemulus right now

#

and it's not making any sense

#

oh wait is it too __ to hook?

#

no it's one

#

[1/23/2024 6:45:03 PM][ERROR] (0008:0009) Referenced undeclared variable 'CHECK_SAVE_POINT'

#

super confused

#

maybe i'm missing something

📎 Change_Difficulty_Anytime.7z

#

but i'm hooking

#

oh wait

#

i never imported the original bf Naofacepalm

#

my bad y'all

#

there we go

#

done too much PC merging that i forgot that was a thing

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 4:03 AM

#

anyone able to make sense of wtf is even happening here

📎 Telos.flow 📎 f008.flow

#

like this telos file right

#

clearly it's checking if you've maxed the links, judging by the bit flag offsets right

#

but there's a bunch of ands???????????

#

like what the mod does right, is that it carries over your max link progress between save games

#

so you don't have to max it all in one playthrough

#

so it somehow needs to store whether or not a link was maxed in a previous playthrough

#

wait

#

so when you receive the rank 10 ultimate item from a person, a flag is enabled

#

just like how when you get the item here, flag 566 is enabled

#

so is it just checking if you have any of those items?

#

then why are there ands?

#

wouldn't they all need to be true for it to work?

#

do i not understand how ands function in flowscript 🧍‍♂️

#

wait

#

unless those flags just stay on between save files??????????????????????

#

is that how it works?

#

it just checks if you own all the items based on the flags that are enabled when you have all the items?

#

shit that's hella fucking easy

#

ok so just find all the flags that are associated with the rank 10 items, easy

#

ok but how does that feed into the whole igor giving you the mask thing?

#

oh wait it's just doing the return 1 thing

#

that makes perfect fucking sense holy shit

#

oof i guess the bit flags associated aren't in the event where you get the item?

#

maybe i need to get the items?

#

oof the items do not carry over between saves

#

and i can't find the associated bit flags inside of the event itself

#

that kinda sucks naodead

#

ok it definitely seems like the associated flags from the P3F mod are on

#

this sucks so hard

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 4:47 AM

#

and mod menu is crashing whenever i give myself items

#

gotta love P3P mod menu

edgy thicket Jan 24, 2024, 4:50 AM

#

maybe your next project should be to remake p3p mod menu lol

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 4:59 AM

#

when i make CSM for P3P then sure

#

ok i thought i had a fool proof plan femcmad

#

turns out the items do carry over!!!!!!!!!!!!!

#

and you can 100% still fuse max link characters in new games

#

but i couldn't find the bit flags, so i thought i would just pull from the items

#

except death, fool, and judgement don't give max link items 🙃

#

so i still have to find the flags for those................

#

holy shit i am so god damn lucky

#

ok so turns out the bit flags are in the only links that don't provide items

#

judgement, death, and fool

#

AND THE BIT FLAGS ARE THE EXACT SAME FROM P3F?????

#

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

#

god i hate having to format my code after i'm done writing it

#

and when i collapse it down and it takes out the important bit with it and i just know i forgot a fucking bracket somewhere

#

i wish there was just a fucking button i could press to fix syntax errors

#

ugh i hate when i have to compile too 😔

#

why is it telling me that it can't compile because i haven't int'd a var, but when i int it it says that it's already been int'd

#

#

it's declared right here

#

wtf do i do here 😭

#

i'm sure the solution is obvious i'm just completely blanking

#

is it because the var is int in a procedure and not globally?

#

that appears to have been it

#

ok so i got it to compile by just moving the telos.flow stuff inside

#

but it doesn't appear to be working

#

oh right because i switched genders

#

one second

#

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh not working

#

this shit sucks so hard man

#

yeah i'm completelty stuck

#

here are my files btw in case anyone wants to check

📎 h08_03.bf 📎 h08_03.bf.flow 📎 telos.flow

#

what i'm trying to do is call the telos.flow file in the middle of the procedure, so it can't be a procedure

#

am i just doing it wrong or something?

#

i don't know how bools work

edgy thicket Jan 24, 2024, 5:53 AM

#

it's just true/false no?

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 5:54 AM

#

no yeah i mean like how do you call a bool

#

the P3F mod puts the new code into a bool

#

and then calls it like this

#

i tried adding the code directly into the bf and it just didn't work

#

like i didn't get the scene or anything

#

there's also the entire possibility i just don't know the fucking velvet room field

#

there are how many fucking velvet room fields naocry

#

i fucking hate how often they duplicate procedures everywhere so you have no fucking idea which one is the right field like aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh

#

ok so it's 08_17 or 08_18

#

ok code works, thank god

#

mod functions and everything wooooooooooooooooooooooh

#

pc merging time

#

if anyone wants to test it out, here you go

📎 Convenient_Completion1.0.0.7z

#

there's a small problem i'm just now realizing

#

if you do a NG+ and switch genders, some items will change for the genders

#

meaning you might have to do the magician arcana twice because the key item changes............

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 6:40 AM

#

i really wish i could just like

#

group things in an if statement

#

like ITEM_CHK(483) || ITEM_CHK(482) && ITEM_CHK(587)

#

and not have the 483 and 482 be entirely different than the and part

#

you have to do ITEM_CHK(483) && ITEM_CHK(587) || ITEM_CHK(482) && ITEM_CHK(587) which kinda sucks

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 8:20 AM

#

ok i really oughta redo the mod

#

like with the bit_chks and everything

#

i just have no idea where they would be

#

they're clearly enabled in some events, but not in the social links?

#

max rank death, fool, and judgement flags are all in their events

balmy echo Jan 24, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

safe ether like ITEM_CHK(483) || ITEM_CHK(482) && ITEM_CHK(587)

i think you can do that if you do something like ITEM_CHK(587) && (ITEM_CHK(482) || ITEM_CHK(483)) actually

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

oh for real

#

damn

#

well that'll be handy later lol

#

wish i could just roll with these

#

but who knows if femc flags are different 🫠

#

and i still don't know why they skip 4 numbers

#

i understand skipping 3 because of judgement, fool, and death

#

but what about that last value

#

skips 5, 6, 15, and 20

#

and what about characters with multiple options like kazushi and keisuke

#

damn and they're not in P3Fflow.txt either

#

i think i might've found the pattern Naofacepalm

#

ok so

#

in the event files, there's an offset for 1536 when giving the max rank item

#

like 1536 + 4

#

and according to the flow.txt, 1536+4 is kenji's max rank item

#

and in the Telos.flow of the original mod, i believe kenji is 512 + 4

#

yeah that's the fucking pattern hoooooooooooooooooooooly shit

#

bookstore was rank 9, and their offset is 1536 + 8

#

their bit flag is 512 + 8 so 520

#

rank 9, flag 520 is off

#

rank 10, flag 520 is on

safe ether Jan 24, 2024, 9:04 AM

#

god i love when i get some weird ass compiling error

#

legit never seen this shit in my life

#

forgot a single quotation mark around the import bf

#

crazy

#

and syntax errors, fun

#

just realized

#

i changed it all to bit checks

#

only to have the exact same problem as last time 🫠

#

i guess you'll just have to redo the links that changed

#

i mean why wouldn't you if you changed genders on NG+...........

#

waste of time? probably

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:08 AM

#

@toxic pond don't wanna clog up that chat with more stuff but something like this yeah??

if ( BIT_CHK(516) || BIT_CHK(595)) && BIT_CHK(520) && BIT_CHK(531) && BIT_CHK(533) && BIT_CHK(519) && BIT_CHK(521) && BIT_CHK(522) && BIT_CHK(523) && BIT_CHK(530) && (BIT_CHK(524) || BIT_CHK(591)) && (BIT_CHK(525) || BIT_CHK(593)) && ( BIT_CHK(526) || BIT_CHK(596)) && BIT_CHK(528) || (BIT_CHK(597)) && BIT_CHK(535) && ( BIT_CHK(529) || BIT_CHK(598)) && BIT_CHK(534) && ( BIT_CHK(536) || BIT_CHK(592) ) && BIT_CHK(537) || ( BIT_CHK(594) ) && BIT_CHK(538) && BIT_CHK(4833) && BIT_CHK(4832) && BIT_CHK(4834))

edgy thicket Jan 25, 2024, 1:08 AM

#

that looks roughly correct to me

#

although I don't remember if the if statements in flowscript require parentheses around the conditions

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:09 AM

#

that might've been some overcorrection on my part

#

if ((BIT_CHK(516) || BIT_CHK(595)) && BIT_CHK(520) && BIT_CHK(531) && BIT_CHK(533) && BIT_CHK(519) && BIT_CHK(521) && BIT_CHK(522) &&
    BIT_CHK(523) && BIT_CHK(530) && (BIT_CHK(524) || BIT_CHK(591)) && (BIT_CHK(525) || BIT_CHK(593)) && (BIT_CHK(526) || BIT_CHK(596)) &&
    BIT_CHK(528) || (BIT_CHK(597)) && BIT_CHK(535) && (BIT_CHK(529) || BIT_CHK(598)) && BIT_CHK(534) && (BIT_CHK(536) || BIT_CHK(592)) &&
    BIT_CHK(537) || (BIT_CHK(594)) && BIT_CHK(538) && BIT_CHK(4833) && BIT_CHK(4832) && BIT_CHK(4834))

#

chat gpt spit that out

edgy thicket Jan 25, 2024, 1:09 AM

#

that roughly looks better

toxic pond Jan 25, 2024, 1:09 AM

#

Yeah that seems right to me

edgy thicket Jan 25, 2024, 1:10 AM

#

man chatgpt is pretty useful huh

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:10 AM

#

it's kinda funny that it understands C code

#

but when i ask it for help with quaternions it shits the bed

toxic pond Jan 25, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

chat gpt is really bad at maths lol

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

yeah sadly

#

like it straight up just lies to you

#

technically it's always lying but still

edgy thicket Jan 25, 2024, 1:11 AM

#

that's not the only thing chatgpt is bad at

#

try asking it to explain introductory rocket mechanics to you

#

it will spew misinformation

#

or ask it how an airfoil works. misinformation

#

(I'm an aerospace engineer sorry)

toxic pond Jan 25, 2024, 1:12 AM

#

It is very good at making up nonsense in general lol

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:13 AM

#

it's honestly pretty bad at just professional stuff like that

toxic pond Jan 25, 2024, 1:13 AM

#

Usually it sounds reasonable enough that if you don't know what you're talking about either you could believe it

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:13 AM

never ask that mfer anything psychology related

#

it's baffling how often i have to pry young men off of ai chatbot girlfriends

safe ether Jan 25, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

ok there we go

#

i'm sure it's like

#

not a problem

#

but i hate when i use notepad++

#

and i condense the code down because i'm in c mode

#

and it condenses down wrong................

safe ether Feb 2, 2024, 10:38 PM

#

i think i might've found a way to do an after battle check for auto heal

#

thus meaning i can take it out dng_init.pac and put it in field.bf

#

and solve the crashing problems

#

margarets paradigm door thing right

#

gives you rewards after a battle

#

and it does so by checking evt_function_0032 if it's 0 or 1

#

i think that might've been if you won a battle or not?

#

i have no idea

#

trying to figure it out right now

#

not finding very many instances of it's use

#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

FCL_FUNCTION_001B, FLD_FUNCTION_0011

#

yeah i think it's checking if you lost the battle

#

lemme see what it does when you lose

#

it is so damn hard to lose to these fights

#

ok so it's not if you win or lose

#

if you lose you go back to the title screen lmao

#

yeah i cannot work out what this function does still

#

it's always in the init for a field though

#

and there's almost always two

#

one for 1 and one for 0

#

yeah i still have no idea what it does

#

i'm at a complete loss

#

apparently if it's on, it does the whole "there's a weird door here" thing in paulownia mall

#

which is something? i guess?

#

not sure what that really means

#

trying to do two things btw

#

see if i can control drops after a specific encounter

#

i wanna make the reaper drop the ultimate weapons for each character

#

and i wanna see if i can find the after battle function or procedure

#

no progress on either front at the moment

safe ether Feb 2, 2024, 11:47 PM

#

the frustrating part is that i know the game does stuff after a battle

#

how else would bodies spawn on the floor when your party members die

#

or how would they talk to you after battles

#

everything points to tartaros battle check being the correct one

#

but it just doesn't work

#

yeah no

#

still can't find it sadly

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:14 AM

#

really wish the functions from P3R were understandable

#

they seem to also be in P3P but i just can't connect em yet

#

CALL_KEYFREE_EVENT( 101, 121, 175, 200 );

#

what the fuck is that

#

i mean maybe i should be comparing the P3F scheduler files

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:16 AM

#

those don't exist naosmiley

#

FES scheduler is hardcoded apparently lol

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:17 AM

#

oh fun

#

well i'm still struggling to connect the dots in any meaningful way

#

yeah i don't think im gonna get anywhere with just the scheduler files

#

found basically nothing except for procedures swapped out for functions which is useless to me

#

is there a field file for the paulownia mall? maybe i could compare the crane game or arcades

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:26 AM

#

ill see if i can find a bf for the crane game

#

reload does things differently in that fields don't just have one or two BF's containing all the object/npc procedures, instead each npc and object gets their own individual BF file

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:27 AM

#

oh that sounds rough

#

i'm pretty sure the crane game changes per month though

#

maybe ill take those items and actually make em into my QOL crane game mod

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:28 AM

#

found the bf for the crane game anyways tho, wasn't too hard to find thankfully

📎 BF_OBJ_103_101_010.bf.flow

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:29 AM

#

sweeeeet thank you

#

naosmiley crazy

#

it still only has jack frost dolls and ganesha banks

#

and it works in the exact same way

#

ok well that's a definitive function!!!!!!!!!!!

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:34 AM

LMAOOO 😭

hey if it ain't broke

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:40 AM

#

@balmy echo did it come with a msg file or nah?

#

i'm getting a little tripped up because i can't tell what MSG( 8, 0 ) is

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

safe ether <@229072191746998272> did it come with a msg file or nah?

they don't embed the BMD's in the BF files like with most of the other persona games but there was one yeah

unfortunately the build of AtlusScriptTools rirurin sent earlier just crashes when you try to decompile BMD files so. can't get a .msg out of them unfortunately naosmiley

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:43 AM

#

sad

#

ok yeah only one new function

#

looks like you still can't retry at the arcade machine lol

#

man so i'm super confused

#

CHK_DAYOFWEEK is different from GET_DAYOFWEEK?

#

in what way?

#

they're clearly two different functions

#

yeah and CHK_TIME and GET_TIME are two different functions

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 1:53 AM

#

safe ether in what way?

one checks, the other gets cmon dude it's in the name naosmiley

Basically: CHK_DAYOFWEEK returns true or false if the day of the week is equal to what you pass in (so if the day is monday and you pass in the value for monday, it returns true)

GET_DAYOFWEEK returns the value for the current day of the week it is, so if it's monday you'll get the value for monday from it

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 1:54 AM

#

oh

#

i didn't realize that's how it worked, my bad Naofacepalm

#

i just assumed it would always return the day number

#

FUNCTION_0036 seems to be another time related function with a third param i can't figure out

#

doesn't seem to exist in P3R soooooooooooooooooooo

#

function_0036( get_month, get_date, and then some number )

#

might be time of day

#

whoops i forgot that's the time travel function

#

god i forget what function_000d does

#

i meant to label it when i knew what it was but too late now

#

fade_duration?

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

i assume you mean in portable, that plays the last screen transition effect in "reverse"

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

i think?

#

oh

#

that's interesting

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

maybe inverse would be a better word, hard to describe but seeing it in-game it makes sense

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 2:19 AM

#

weird that it's above the normal fade function

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 3:48 AM

#

safe ether <@229072191746998272> did it come with a msg file or nah?

dunno if you'd still have any use for it at all but rirurin figured out BMD decompilation so now i CAN give you the MSG file :3

#

that's pretty handy

#

might backport some of it's stuff as part of better ufo catcher

#

wonder why P3R added a message for it during the last day of the game, are you even able to go to paulownia mall that day?

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 3:51 AM

#

also interestingly from looking at the MSG it almost seems like the function tags [f x x] might be the same or largely similar to the ones used in p3p so that's a big headstart in understanding reloads BMD's 👀

#

also i have no idea lol, i haven't gotten there yet myself so uhhhh maybe naosmiley

balmy echo Feb 3, 2024, 4:04 AM

#

balmy echo also interestingly from looking at the MSG it almost seems like the function tag...

yeah seems like some message tags here and there got shifted around perhaps but otherwise seems like the messagescriptlibrary is mostly the same as P3P's which is nice

safe ether Feb 3, 2024, 4:28 AM

#

ok fixed up improved ufo catcher some more

#

only problem

#

you have to select play once twice?

#

for some reason?

#

and i can't figure out why

#

if anyone wants to try it out

📎 Improved_UFO_Catcher1.0.0.7z

#

makes item reward more varied and based on month to month basis, featuring more loved and liked gifts as they're pretty hard to obtain

#

allows you to retry upon losing when playing once

#

and allows you to play infinitely until you win

#

oh and added a little message about going home when it's 1/31

safe ether Feb 4, 2024, 10:27 PM

#

ok

#

thought i had an amazing idea

#

doesn't work 😔

#

at least i can't get it to work

#

in the elizabeth room thing with the battles

#

there's a global function called gVar137 that determines whether or not you're in a battle

#

gVar137 == 506 means you're in battle 506

#

if it's 0, you're not in a battle

#

except that doesn't seemingly exist for P3P field.bf

#

at least i can't find the equivalent

#

as there's no 137

#

UGH

#

yeah so the gVar137 seems to only exist for 2D fields

#

thought i was slick by checking fuukas awakening

#

nope

#

tartarus battles?

#

nope

#

there's this........ naothink

#

FLD_FUNCTION_0040 hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

#

well there's no checks so this is useless

#

well there's no checks so this is useless

#

back to the drawing board

#

might be helpful for when i wanna add ultimate weapon rewards to the reaper

#

what i both don't like and don't get right

#

is why these procedures aren't linked

#

like they just HAD to hardcode these jumps

safe ether Feb 7, 2024, 12:38 AM

#

lol so

#

apparently in P3R

#

maya only takes up the afternoon to play

#

not the whole day

#

id like to try and backport that if possible but i can't get it worked out

#

ok so it's not EVT_FUNCTION_0001

#

i'm afraid it might be hardcoded or something

#

yeah doesn't seem possible 😔

#

i can't find the NEXT_TIME function anywhere

#

and every other social link doesn't seem to have a different function at the end

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 10:56 AM

#

@toxic pond does NEXT_TIME in P4G check the scheduler to advance to the next available outcome, or does it actually set it to the next time slot?

#

trying to change Mayas SLink in P3 to be just the afternoon rather than the whole day

#

but she uses NEXT_TIME like everyone else, yet advances throughout the entire day

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 10:59 AM

#

When time advances it's up to the scheduler to stop it and put you somewhere. If the scheduler procedure that's called for that specific time doesn't call a field or event it'll go to the procedure for the next time slot and so on. At least I'm pretty sure that's how it works

#

My guess would be some flag is set that tells the scheduler to skip to the end of the day

#

Is NEXT_TIME a function that takes no arguments?

#

I don't remember it being called that in p4g although maybe the library was updated

#

I thought TV_STUDIO was what advanced time (I don't really get the name, I also could be remembering completely wrong lol)

balmy echo Feb 8, 2024, 11:16 AM

#

toxic pond Is `NEXT_TIME` a function that takes no arguments?

Yeah, takes no arguments in P3P

#

Same for reload (altho there it seems to be named CALL_NEXTTIME iirc)

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:31 AM

#

toxic pond When time advances it's up to the scheduler to stop it and put you somewhere. If...

that sounds right except it clearly skips stuff that is there

#

maya is available 7/26 in the morning, hanging out with her skips to 7/27

#

despite having these in there

#

i would like it to call sdl07_26_PM_D but it just goes past it

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 11:33 AM

#

Oh, ok. I guess it does something different then

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:33 AM

#

this is the code for maya as shown by moddaman

#

maybe i missed something?

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

Oh, the SET_DATE

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

is that set date thing also setting the time? but isn’t 6 the dark hour?

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

that's setting it to the last time

#

Yeah probably

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

5 is night time?

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 11:34 AM

#

But that'd just advance to the next day since obviously you're not going into Tartarus

#

It presumably does it like that in case there's some event that place during the dark hour (instead of just setting it to the start of the next day)

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:35 AM

#

oh

#

huh

#

that actually makes sense huh

#

hate when it’s just staring you in the face like that ya know

#

so what, i just replace the NEXT_TIME with that same set date thing but instead of a 6 it’s a 5? and then call the bedroom field?

#

that’s super simple >.>

toxic pond Feb 8, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

Yeah, that'd probably do it

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:36 AM

#

almost wanna do that now…….

#

except it’s 3:36 AM

#

decisions

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:57 AM

#

got it to "work"

📎 Less_Time_for_Maya1.0.0.7z

#

hardly

#

if i don't add the call field, it just infinitely loads

#

if i add the call field, time doesn't advance but it stays in the bedroom

#

no idea >.>

balmy echo Feb 8, 2024, 11:59 AM

#

safe ether is that set date thing also setting the time? but isn’t 6 the dark hour?

Funny enough time 6 actually has a proper non-dark hour name: "Late Night"

Its very rarely used in the game but it is there; in FES/Vanilla for example the event that plays when you meet mitsuru and yukari at the start of the game is set at "Late Night"

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 12:02 PM

#

if anyone takes a look at the flowscript later, lemme know

#

i'm sure there's something my tired brain is missing

#

i just realized

#

all it’s missing is the NEXT_TIME function to be called

#

and then it works

#

i remember that from when i added the time travel stuff to the P3P Mod Menu Naofacepalm

#

problems for the morning

safe ether Feb 8, 2024, 11:55 PM

#

added a next_time and nothing

#

didn't advance time and just stayed on the morning

#

ok so removing the call_field fixes it

#

but i don't want it to put you in the lobby...............................

toxic pond Feb 9, 2024, 1:02 AM

#

I think it putting you in the lobby is fine. I'm pretty sure that's what p3r does

safe ether Feb 9, 2024, 1:03 AM

#

oh really?

#

ok then we’re good

toxic pond Feb 9, 2024, 1:03 AM

#

Same thing in P4G, if you spend the day reading or working in your room you come downstairs when it gets to night. It's sort of the normal I think

safe ether Feb 9, 2024, 11:54 PM

#

OK FUN TIMES

#

aemulus is compiling my flowscript when it shouldn't be

#

i know for a fact that i have functions that aren't renamed right

#

and yet it's compiling? why?

#

📎 Find_a_Friend_1.0_2.7z

#

nope

#

still doing it

#

📎 message.txt

#

any ideas anyone? @toxic pond

#

it doesn't compile when i do it manually

#

and then spits out some errors about message conflicts

#

seems like it's grabbing the precompiled files instead of my base files?

#

and no matter what i do to delete them, it stil grabs the compiled files

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:01 AM

#

That's compiling by hand right?

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:01 AM

#

yup

#

no errors in aemulus

📎 message.txt

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:02 AM

#

Well like you said you're not using the original bf, you're using one that's already modded.
Delete that one and put the original there

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

oh like i have to do that manually?

#

isn’t aemulus supposed to do that?

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

Well you're compiling by hand

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

no

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

Aemulus does do that but you said it works with it

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

i’m compiling in aemulus

#

and it’s grabbing the modded one

#

in testing by compiling by hand

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

safe ether yup

???

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:03 AM

#

im*

#

i want to compile in aemulus

#

because this is an aemulus mod swine

#

so telling me to just grab the base one doesn’t solve the problem of it not working in aemulus

#

i'm compiling by hand to figure out the errors though

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

Sorry, I'm sure you said it works with Aemulus but not by have. Maybe I can't read

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

no it works in neither

#

in aemulus it's compiling despite a file i'm importing having non stock function names

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

Anyway, the only way it'd be pulling a modded one is if you have another mod that edited the same flow

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:05 AM

#

and compiling by hand says that the BF file it's grabbing is modded

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:06 AM

#

toxic pond Anyway, the only way it'd be pulling a modded one is if you have another mod tha...

like hangout.flow naosmiley

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:06 AM

#

I mean the same bf.

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:06 AM

#

oh

#

yeah that's not happening

#

it's all a bunch of different bfs

#

lemme see if i can explain myself better

#

i need to update find a friend for PSP

#

which means taking the hangout.flow file from PC and renaming functions

#

what i was doing was compiling, looking for errors, renaming functions and them compiling again, voer and over

#

but now it's not printing any errors, and compiling just fine

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:07 AM

#

safe ether in aemulus it's compiling despite a file i'm importing having non stock function...

I don't really get this. If it's compiling then why is it a problem?
It's weird if it shouldn't work but if it does who cares

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:07 AM

#

despite there being functions in there that aren't renamed as stock

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

toxic pond I don't really get this. If it's compiling then why is it a problem? It's weird ...

because it's compiling with the old code from my testing 🙃

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

Then I guess you didn't update the file naotoshrug

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:08 AM

#

as it's importing the old precompiled bf files with all the issues from before the recent PC changes

#

i did though that's the thing

#

i took the PC file and i copy pasted it over

#

and then starting renaming functions

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:09 AM

#

The only other way that is possible is if you replaced the files in the Originals folder in Aemulus

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:09 AM

#

i know for a fact that SEL_DEFKEY isn't a labeled function

#

how and why would i have done that

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:09 AM

#

Idk

#

You're saying it's using those files and you have no other mods that edit the bf. That's the only way you're getting a modded bf instead of the original

#

I'm on my phone, not at home. There's only so much help I can give, I can't exactly look at the files

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:10 AM

#

fair enough

#

lemme know when you take a look

#

this is really annoying the hell out of me

#

gonna have to wait an hour for P3P ISO to download so i can reunpack base files again and try again

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:13 AM

#

I won't be home for a few hours but I'll let you know when I look (if you don't work it out yourself in that time)

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:14 AM

#

ok so not in the original folder it seems

#

must be pulling from somewhere else

toxic pond Feb 10, 2024, 12:15 AM

#

It only pulls from original or another mod. Try disabling every other mod if you haven't already

safe ether Feb 10, 2024, 12:16 AM

#

#

that's what it was

this is what happens when you pick the option to "view currently missing people" which i can't exactly sus out how it does that

seems to pull data from somewhere and uses that to determine who's missing & then shows you that if so? dunno

either way it's still not a bit-flag per person naovanish ; in the case of the SISSOU_INFO message it gets the result of EVT_FUNCTION_0048(0), sets msg var 0 and 1 to lowest and highest floors the missing people will be on and then the message uses those vars
