I'm trying to learn how to use Atlas at the moment and I've got everything ready except for inserting a script with it. I've dumped a script using the pointer relative method. I guess the script has got Atlas pointers and it's all translated, so I guess it's good to go.

So I guess I need an Atlas file. There's a sample one, but I don't understand a few of the things. All I want to do is insert a script and have the pointers updated as well. Anyone care to explain how to build an Atlas file? Thanks

Have you read how-to.txt that comes with Atlas yet? I'm guessing you have, but if you only looked at the readme it's really easy to get overwhelmed. Basically, all you need to do is add a header to your script before any text you wish to insert. This header should just define the table(s), pointer location(s), and any other things you need (header, addressing mode). Then you use the #JMP function to jump to the offset where you will insert the text, and you should be good to go if the pointers are already set up in Atlas format.

Yeah, I'm an idiot. When I made this thread, I misunderstood something, but I've got it figured out now.
