Hi, I have tables to update and they are using "ROMS" from some other tables.

 

I'd like to know what I have to change in the script to make my tables independant from the original ones.

 

I'm sure there are existing topics about it but I can't find them !

Do you mean to use the table with alias?
Your table will be independent, if you have the whole script inside, instead of using a rom.

You must use aliases; this is what I found with a search.

In the vpmalias.txt file, add a new line with the name of your table and the name of the ROM.

mytable, Romname 

Then go to the scripts and change the name of the ROM constant to the name of the table,

go to the "table1_Init" section and modify it as shown below.

Const cGameName = "mytable"

Sub table1_Init
vpmInit Me
    With Controller
        .GameName = "Romname"
NVOffset (1)
        .GameName = cGameName

 

If you want to have multiple tables using the same ROM, repeat the same steps described above, but increase the NVOffset value each time: (1), (2),...
