* [[Sliencw11]]
* [[Jumpah]]

=== Tutorial ===
# Make a copy of an existing event. 
## Events can be found in root/files/Event.
# Extract the eventXX.szp file by dragging the file onto ArcExtract.exe.
# Open the folder that ArcExtract created. 
## It should have the same name as the szp file and should be in the same location.
# Rename the files under the "message" and "text" folders to your desired event number, and make any modifications to the eventXX.txt if needed.
## For example, if you wanted to use event105, rename the text file to event105.txt and the csv file to message105.csv.
## DISCLAIMER: Events over 108 will crash the game without modifications to the dol.
# Extract the archive of the map that you want to add the event to.
## Maps are located in root/files/map.
# Open the jmp/eventinfo file with Jumpah (File > Open).
# Make a copy of an existing entry, save, and reopen the file.
## If you don't reopen the file, it will apply any changes you make to the original entry instead of the copied one.
# Modify the fields to their desired values and save (File > Save).
## [[eventinfo|Info on which fields control what here.]] Most important are EventNo and position values.
# Now, repack the map and event archives with ArcPack.
# Once you have the eventXX.arc and mapX.arc files, put each of them through Silencw11 to convert them to .szp (usage details on the tool's page).
# Move the archives back to their folders (event and map).
