I'd devised a command line tool for extracting events from evt files and concatenating evt files. I've spent a couple hours with a tool for dumping text from evt files, which includes a number of improvements to both tools. I'm not sure what you're up to, but if you've worked out the encoding of some or all of the event instructions you should document/share them.
If you need any advice on producing valid evt files feel free to ask. I gotta warn you it's more complicated than it might seem at first... that is to say, you might be producing invalid evt files for a long time and not even realize it. Also your files might work with map editor but not necessarily in game. So do rigorous tests.
Doing something like this takes some time. If you're proficiently skilled, you should get in touch with me so we can compare methodologies/notes on projects.
