Easiest ERM script tutorial
(Part 1)
I will present the castle, the creature, the hero, the artifact, the option and the fun script to you. What you would like to create to your liking, and those are the easiest. So I'm sorry that I make 6 posts or thread can't show due to overload. I'm also noob about ERM script, but I left unfinished pedagogy, so I chose easiest scripts, for you.
ZVSE starts WoG that the timed event is a script, the first you always must write ZVSE, but also !?PI means post instruction, you can then write the script.
So you write in Timed Events:
ZVSE
!?PI;
The ERM will then wait for the script you created.
Universal Commands (UN)
!!UN:T means type of monster to hire in towns, and continuation script:
T#1/#2/#3/$;
Set a type of monster to hire in towns.
#1 - Type of a town (0...8) (look at the town type/number)
#2 - Dwelling level (0...6)
#3 - Basic (0) or upgraded (1)
$ - Type of monster to hire (look at the creature number)

Example of
!!UN:T4/0/0/56 T4/0/1/57;
!!UN:T4/1/0/58 T4/1/1/59;
!!UN:T4/2/0/61 T4/2/1/159;
!!UN:T4/3/0/62 T4/3/1/63;
!!UN:T4/4/0/64 T4/4/1/65;
!!UN:T4/5/0/66 T4/5/1/67;
!!UN:T4/6/0/69 T4/6/1/196;
T4 is town type/number means Necropolis. 56 monster number means Skeleton, and 57 is Skeleton Warrior. And you will notice 61 to 159, it means Wraith upgrades Ghost. So !!UN:T4/0 means dwelling level, 0 is 1 level, and !!UN:T4/0/0 means basic (0) or upgraded (1), and then the last code means monster number. Remember write ZVSE.
I set you a task:
You write a script, a Castle type, and basic dwelling is Zealot, upgraded War Zealot also basic dwelling is Archangel and upgraded Supreme Archangel.
The answer:
ZVSE
!!UN:T0/0/0/0 T4/0/1/1;
!!UN:T0/1/0/2 T4/1/1/3;
!!UN:T0/2/0/4 T4/2/1/5;
!!UN:T0/3/0/6 T4/3/1/7;
!!UN:T0/4/0/9 T4/4/1/169;
!!UN:T0/5/0/10 T4/5/1/11;
!!UN:T0/6/0/13 T4/6/1/150;
This ERM script is easiest, if you haven't yet understood, you go to ask ERM help and discussion

(Part 2)
Monster Attributes (MA)
ERM code is !!MA:
It follows
A#/$; Monster # (look at the creature number) has an Attack of $.
B#/$; Monster # (-''-) with spell can cast it $ times per combat.
C#/#2/$; Monster # (-''-) Costs resource #2 (look at the resource number) to buy.
D#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Defence of $.
E#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Damage High of $.
F#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Fight value of $.
G#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Grow rate of $.
I#/$; Monster # (-''-) has an AI value of $.
L#/$; Monster # (-''-) is now considered a Level $ monster (0-6). Monster level is always one less than the actual level, so a level 1 monster is represented by a value of 0 and a level 7 with a value of 6. Monsters above level 7 will also have a value of 6.
M#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Damage Low of $.
N#/$; Monster # (-''-) has $ Number of Shots.
O#/$; Monster # (-''-) belongs to Castle $ type (look at the town type/number). Note: a value of -1 means "neutral" (no town type).
P#/$; Monster # (-''-) has $ Hit Points.
S#/$; Monster # (-''-) has a Speed of $.
U#/$; Monsters can be upgraded to any other monster at a hill fort (or hill fort dialogue box) or at any town where that monster could normally be upgraded.
Resource number
0 Wood
1 Mercury
2 Ore
3 Sulfur
4 Crystal
5 Gems
6 Gold
7 Mithril
AI value & Fight value
You can read the AI & Fight value
Ok the more the script is more "demanding", and you will get information about the ERM help
Ok How do we make a Peasant 50 attack/defense, 1000 HP, and 20 speed, and then 50 damage? What script should we write?
ZVSE
!!MA:A139/50; gives 139 monster number is Peasant, and A is attack, and then 50 attack.
!!MA 139/50; D is defense, 139 is Peasant, and 50 defense.
!!MA:M139/50; 139 Peasant has a Damage Low.
!!MA:E139/50; 139 Peasant has a Damage High.
!!MA 139/1000; gives 1000 HP.
!!MA:S139/20; gives 20 speed.
ERM script has alternative script:
ZVSE
!!MA:A139/50 D139/50 M139/50 E139/50 P139/1000 S139/20;
Task:
What does !!MA:A139/6 D139/7 P139/10 M139/2 E139/3 S139/2 C139/6/15 G139/9 O139/0 F139/40 I139/40; say?
But if you don’t understand, go to the ERM help and discussion or read again.
Remember give a AI value and Fight value, because of low value, AI rejects a Peasant, when Pikemen are better value, so you can give a Azure Dragon's value to Peasant, if you want or give higher value.

!#HE1:X4/3/2/2/4;
!#VRz600:S^Marksmen receive +2 attack, +2 defense and +4 damage^;
!#UN:G2/1/2/600;
!#HE1:X4 means Valeska and X4 is creatures extra, and !#HE1:X4/3 means creature number, and then attack, defense, damage.
!#VRz600 means given name, etc, and yes you need unique z-vars
!#UN:G2 means set the text and picture for hero specialities. So !#UN:G2/hero number/ERM code 2 means specialty description text/unique z-vars must be the same as VRz.
We recommend using VRz1 from, because it is easier to write in order. And more about !#UN:G, you can look at the UN keyword in the ERM help
We still have a question about the script, !#HE[hero number]:X5 is speed and other, so if you use a number 2, you get a Sir Mullich's speed icon, and X8, when you give a number 1 means specialty: Veil of Darkness, and number 2 means specialty: Builder, be sure to write !#VRz[unique].

!!HE-1:Fd3/d3/d0/d0; means all hero, and you give 3 Attack, 3 Defense, 0 Spell and 0 Knowledge
!?AE0&v998=162; means equip/unequip artifact trigger, AE0 = take off an artifact
!!HE-1:Fd-3/d-3/d-0/d-0; means hero and leave off his/her artifact, it causes -3 Attack, -3 Defense, 0 Spell and 0 Knowledge, if you haven't given minus, hero has still 3 Attack and Defense his/her Primary Skills without artifact
!#VRz502:S^Blank Sword^; means given artifact name, etc
!#VRz503:S^Blank Sword increases hero's attack and defense by +3.^;
!#UN:A162/9/502; means get/check/set an artifact's info, and 9 is artifact name, and then 502 is !#VRz502
!#UN:A162/10/503; means the same above, and 10 means artifact description, and then 503 is !#VRz503
So you write:
ZVSE
!?OB5/162;
!!ARv998/v999/v1000;
!?AE1&v998=162;
!!HE-1:Fd3/d3/d0/d0;
!?AE0&v998=162;
!!HE-1:Fd-3/d-3/d-0/d-0;
!#VRz502:S^Blank Sword^;
!#VRz503:S^Blank Sword increases hero's attack and defense by +3.^;
!#UN:A162/9/502;
!#UN:A162/10/503;
And you can create Blank Artifacts, you give artifact name to !#VRz[unique], and what you want about primary skills. The script is always the same, you only change a name, etc

(Part 5)
Universal Commands (UN)
and
ERM code is P#/$; means set WOG options, and # - number of option, $ - option state
Example of
ZVSE
!?PI; now you must use !?PI; if WOG options are using.
!#UN: P5 says
!#UN: P5/0 WoGify random WoG maps
!#UN: P5/1 WoGify ALL WoG maps
!#UN: P5/2 WoGify ALL RoE, AB, SoD and WoG maps
!#UN: P5/3 WoGify ALL maps but ASK before WoGifying
Yeah you write , but HC gives emoji picture, ok we take a space now.
Don't use a ERA options, when not everyone is the same, if you plan to create a map.
Ok what else? P[option number]/$ if you give 1 means enabled, and 0 is disabled also sometimes 0 means enabled, and 1 is disabled, example of !#UN: P3/1 means commanders are disabled, P3 is commanders are enabled option 003, so use a 3, no 003.
(Part 6)
The fun script, what?
Example of
O$1/$2/$3; means delete an object:
$1 = x
$2 = y
$3 = Level
It means area coordinates, where is the place, you write !!UN x/y/level, but where can it be used? Example of artifact, you write like this:
!?OB5/162;
!!ARv998/v999/v1000;
!?AE1&v998=162;
!!HE-1:Fd3/d3/d0/d0;
!?AE0&v998=162;
!!HE-1:Fd-3/d-3/d-0/d-0;
!!UNx/y/level;
!#VRz502:S^Blank Sword^;
!#VRz503:S^Blank Sword increases hero's attack and defense by +3.^;
!#UN:A162/9/502;
!#UN:A162/10/503;
You can give many object places, if you want. Another way is !?LE means Local Event (LE), because Timed Events haven't "delete an object", so you use a !?LE and area coordinates, it follows !!UN and area coordinates.
Such you can get a disable or enable spells to artifact or other. We recommend reading the UN and the LE in the ERM help
Another example of
ZVSE
!!WTx/y/level:A2; means Warrior's Tomb and area coordinates, and then A is artifact, 2 is the Grail. You can delete Warrior's Tomb, for example.
More fun script, you find about UN.
Congrat on your advanced ERM script journey!

Hi planetavril.
Funny, but rename doesn't work.
Example of
ZVSE
!?OBx/y/l; [give your area coordinates]
!#VRz1:S^Given name^; [remember you use a unique]
!#OBx/y/l:Hz1; [area coordinates and unique must be the same VRz and unique]
I tested and renamed Dark Tavern, it appeared "Enjoy yourself..or ELSE!".
It only works WoG objects. And this thread isn't ERM help and discussion. I still learn scripts, later on I add on here. Therefore, the object was missing.
But ok, I hope you enjoy.

You should use ERA3 ZVSE2 syntax, instead of old, horribly write-once ZVSE.

Maybe horribly, but half of actual mods will not work on Era 3 - or not tested on, so thats a big split on.

Writing new code in ERM 1 assembler is like burying code alive from the birthday.
Remember, Val, you were complaining about severe reducing of old mods/maps popularity for these years? Without new, more efficient write once - read and improve again - tools popularity will reach zero some day. It may be possible to invest amount of time to write decompiler from low level ERM 1 code into higher level ERM 2 code, but usually decompilers are 80-90% automatic and still require 10% of human edits.
Decompiler could transform code like !!OW:C?y5 into !!OW:C?(currentPlayer:y) and replace y5 occurrences in the same trigger with readable (currentPlayer) variables, but there are also indirect variable accesses like yv600, local arrays, things like OB998, etc. Probably it's easier to play 4-5 really big custom mod-maps on stable 2.46 assembly. Anyway, we are talking about teaching to write one-time assembler code again?
I spent 2-3X more hours (lifetime) during rewriting ERM core to retain 95-99% compatibility with old commands and scripts. Really, most of Era Scripts Rus and fixed WoG Scripts are running smooth on Era 3. It would not be possible to rewrite the engine and maintain 100% compatibility with bad technical solutions of the previous core. I prefer to give people another chance to write something, that other people can read and extend.
And Lua is better, than ERM 2. But I can reuse 95% of old ERM code, add ZVSE2 and write a few new trigger in ERM 2 without deleting old ERM 1 code. So ERM 2 is for ERM writers and for legacy scripts. I'm almost finished complex "Mixed Neutrals" mod in it. It would not be easily possible in ERM 1.

So what? Don't listen to my frustration and follow your road, I understand.
Is only that for all my mods, it makes no sense to maintain them online, as people always have last Era - so will complain about crashes and such, then it makes no sense neither to update them, because with each upcoming version, there will be further incompatibilities, it's a never ending work.
So that's it. Life.

I don't think, that all your mods stopped working. And most of required fixes are something like "remove leading backslash in ini file path" or initialize y1 to zero, without relying on garbage value from previous triggers.
Moreover, I do not plan to improve ERM dramatically. No ERM 3, I mean. The last time I played Atlantis on 2.9.14, for instance, for a few game weeks. I replaced a few !!MP commands with SN:R music files redirections. And that's all. So it may be possible for some intermediate ERM writer to fix such small issues in old mods and scripts, written by you, me and other community contributors. It's not normal to remove old code from online. We can always copy parts, fix parts or even write tools for language to language transformation.

They probably don't work, we have enough data about people complaining, right?
Last time someone reported, a simple and basic trigger as !?BA&-1000 was screwed. I do not have the energy and interest to spend weeks, test all situations, check each code and see if works. This work was already done by me. So let it go.

That's the problem, you didn't change it, yet it didn't work after updated - I tested the save of player and that trigger just vanished. So something went wrong in your update.
See?
That means random bugs to look for and required a lot of time and dedication.

It's not normal situation and once I fixed it, it was fixed in every mod/script, thus there was no report like that afterwards. So fixing bugs in single map may fix them in almost all same style code maps. But it's ok, testing is really tiring and time consuming work.

As I said, you are now on an Era expansion movement, you are motivated, working and releasing several versions every month. And that's great for the community of active modders, but also less great for those who are no longer active and see their works slowly but surely fading for ever.
Thus it makes no sense that one starts testing specific mods then report bugs, just to find that new release created new bugs. There is no way to solve this until you crystallize a definitive version.

OK. By the way, maybe people on wog forum will make an assembly, based on stable ERA 2.8.3. Many igrik's plugin could be adapted to it, most of your mods (just do not prepend ini files path with leading backslash) and even Phoenix Mod 3.63 is still playable on that version.
