Example of an Atlas script on an unheadered ROM:

Since you're experienced with Atlas, have you ever gotten the pointer table recalculation to work with 24-bit pointers? It's been years since I tried it last, but I followed the example in the documentation to the letter and never got it to work properly. It doesn't really matter since I ended up writing a batch file to insert the script and recalculate the pointers using a program Imzo modified for his hack, but I was just curious if you've ever gotten it to work with them.

Atlas is also a command line program.

So, you need to go to the command line and type something like:
Code: [Select]
atlas ROM_name script.txt

Sorry, never used them. I've only worked with 16-bit pointers in Atlas.

the easiest thing for you to do if you're going to use a command line program is to go to :

c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe and copy/paste it into the folder with the rom and text script.  just copy/paste do NOT cut/paste cmd.exe.

once you do that, double click on it, and it should start in that folder. from there, type:

atlas (your rom name here).smc (your script file here).txt

and it ought to work.  that really seems to be the easiest way to explain how to do it, instead of explaining navigating in dos, which is something you'll most likely never need to do pretty much ever.

 :edit:
it ought to look like this:

well, table files are just sets of associations between hex bytes specific to the rom and alphanumeric characters.  you could use the table file to do a script dump, but i'm not the person who could help you out with that.  atlas ought to be able to dump the script using your tables(i think...), but someone else will have to walk you through it.

to be honest, i won't be able to at least until tomorrow night.  i'm in boston for one of my sisters' college graduations.  i'm on here now because i've remoted in to my pc at home(which i have set up w/ win server 2003 as a terminal server) from one of my sisters' laptops.  that said, i have a set of 7 table files for ff3(not really sure where i got them all, but i also have a good-sized set for ff6a), so i could try dumping the text with atlas tomorrow night once i get back.  if no one can help you out before tomorrow night, i'll give it a shot.

oh wow I think that looks way easier, can you give me a link so I can download it?

It does look nicer. Does it do the stuff Yousei's version doesn't, like Vargas/Sabin's speech scene? I heard Lord J's does but I haven't found where. The regular ones like Ultros are there and easy to find/change. Also, would this Atlas not crash like Yousei's? I hated that about hers. (Font editing was nice though.)

well, yeah, you definitely need the text files.  try rom juice:

http://www.romhacking.net/utils/234/

to dump the scripts.  i think it works the same way as atlas, in terms of it being a dos app.  you should most definitely be able to use it with your tables and rom to get a text dump.  my bad on thinking atlas could do it.

Oh, I don't know if yousei is female or not. It sounds japanese though and the name might mean something masculine for all I know. But it looks feminine to me. Chances are it's male though. Don't tell him I thought otherwise. ;-)

so, i actually forgot about this until now. i did the dump just now, and it's huge.  it's a 10 meg text file that's mostly illegible.  also, there are a bunch of tables for this, but romjuice seems to only support 2 table files.  is there something i'm missing here?  i take it that you have to make a few different dumps with different sets of table files?  i dunno, i never use it.
