Had to earn the tag: first mod

[Awachi]

Saw a thread on reddit where someone wanted the battle music to go away.  I should make an account over there because it's rich with low-level opportunities like this.

If someone can tell me how to write the LONG as "-1" so it will just continue normal music instead of swapping to silence, that'd be cool.  I could include a check for the EEs then.

0xFFFFFFFF. When in doubt, just go with hex code.

My answer to battle music was to randomize it; I kind of like the music, but I like it better with more variety.

0xffffffff will work. Another way is to wrap it in quotes. WeiDU freaks out over

WRITE_LONG 0x08 -1

but

WRITE_LONG 0x08 "-1"

works dandy.

Dang, I guessed close and only tried tildes.  My assumption was weidu sees quotes and declares a mismatch because it's not really a String.  Thanks.

Can also write a value that equals -1, like

EDIT - or not? I have to use this sometimes with SET or in functions like ALTER_EFFECT... maybe it’s not good for WRITE_LONG.

WRITE_LONG (0 - 1)

That was my first attempt after the naked -1.  No joy.
