Making Custom Events Work Properly

Original author on Discord: @z_u_ra, modified by @n123original. This guide assumes you already know how to navigate romfs and use CfgBin Editor. If not, please read the starting guide.

Sometimes, adding an event won’t work. Here’s a potential solution:

• First, open event_set_config*.cfg.bin from data/res/sys/.
  • The * refers to versioning, so instead of just event_set_config.cfg.bin you might also see files such as event_set_config_0.01.cfg.bin. Pick the one with the highest version.
• Next, duplicate an EVENT_SET_CONFIG_* entry, the new entry should appear at the bottom of the tree.
• In the EventID parameter, place the ID of your event e.g. the CRC-32 of ev12_3400.
• Configure all the documented variables to your liking and leave all of the undocumented variables as is.
• Finally, increment (increase by 1) the ChildCount of the EVENT_SET_CONFIG_LIST tree that contains the entries.

If that still doesn’t work, try adding a GlobalBitFlag with the EventID as the FlagID, you can do so via this tutorial.
