Updated to 1.01

Well, it's finally here - The long-awaited text editor. Season's compatibility isn't there yet, but shouldn't be too hard to add.

At all times, use word references! These help save space and allow you to make a BETTER hack! When you edit existing text, make sure "Auto-Fill References" is OFF, or else the program will write over a ton of existing dialogue. Also, after checking or un-checking "Auto-Fill References", make sure you click the "Go" button again so it's updates properly.

Features
-A preview box to see what your text will look like
-The ability to switch on and off whether or not references are automatically filled
-Searching dialogue via uncompressed words
-Dictionary dumps that can be re-dumped at any time
-Searching dictionary words so you can save space
-Auto-compressing (Added in 1.01)

Alright, found a flag that controls which dungeons they should work in and there's a new patch in the next release of ZOLE that allows them to be used in any dungeon.

Oh. Add a trigger (Type 8 interaction) with ID 300 and position it where you want it.

All it is is tile DB. I haven't seen any interactions associated with one.

Isn't it for GameBoy? If so, I should have no trouble at all with it. The only problem is I've never actually played it...

EDIT: Wait, I got it confused with Metroid II. Nevermind, I know nothing of the NES.

Actually, SMF has nothing to do with it. It was a MySQL error, and I couldn't fix it because of an ULMB error.

Wow, this is surely going to come in handy. Thanks!

And I think the reason I couldn't find the "checking code" for the opcodes is because it probably loads the accumulator with the opcode and does RST 00, which is what the game does with everything else.

Well, simply put, there was a rather common error in a MySQL table that people see atleast once. Why it happened though, I'm not sure, and if it were to happen again it's fixable.

Version 1.06 put up. Visit the topic and grab that one.

Version 1.06 released. Another bug fix with deleting interactions and those unwanted ones popping up.

Aah, so it's only 20 XX that's dungeon-specific. That helps a lot. Gonna look into it and add more later.

No idea, sorry.

Huh. I always kinda thought Seasons was remaking some bit of Zelda I too, with the first boss and all. I have no idea which came first though, as I've barely covered any of the ROM yet. The only bank I know a lot about is bank 4, only because it's used for so much. But your theory is pretty interesting...

Well, last night it has came clear to me that making a chest appear when a trigger is stepped on is well, impossible outside of a couple of dungeons. I think the only way to avoid this is to swap the script from dungeon to dungeon or make the code in a global bank. I'm not sure of how the 2xxx interactions work, but I'm sure it can't be too hard to figure out.

Also, I've realized my description for interaction type 9 is completely inaccurate. It's used to spawn NPCs too, which means it might be a regular interaction that sets OAM and VRAM and gives the object AI. I have to look into it though...
