Greetings, LU-HO

[Prof. 9]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay...!!

It's awesome... mind-blowing... can't wait to try out everything =D

Thanks a bunch... seriously... this is more I could ever dream of.

One question though, will any tutorials that use older AdvanceMap versions still work?

(I see the Dutch INI has improved a lot, the one I had (from version 1.82/1.83 or something like that) contained lots of grammar and spelling mistakes. Oh well, I'll make myself a new one anyway ^^)

[Link2999]

Great! Thanks for all your hard work guys! xD

[Twinx]

Awsomeness !!! XD
Just wanted to say thanks for all the hard work you guys are doing :)
well... mm I can't really think str8 now, I just have to go try it out hehehe

[[][-Name sponsored by Apple-][]]

I love it. Pallet editor. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW
wowowowowow.

Thanks for all the hard work. It rocks


Edit:
Did I say how much I love this. The script editing part. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

[LU-HO]

Hi
Thanks for all the praise everyone

this translation isn't yet finished, i couldn't wait to release, the translaters have enought time.

So i will release the new Language files in the next languagepack...

Yes the functions haven't changes do each tutorial will work anymore.

PS: "LU-HO" is one person, I^^
But the thanks goes to the betatester and translater also.

greetz LU-HO

[Mastermind_X]

Well.. "you" in plural was meant to everybody who contributed to AM 1.90 I would say. :D

[Twinx]

greetz LU-HO
Oh, I'm aware you're one person XD
But I was also thanking Mastermind_X for helping.

BTW, you're spoiling us with all those additions :P
Ok.. I'll stop talking and go back to my A-map..

[♦Кαso♦]

w00t thnx 4 this!

This is the ultimate ROM Hack Mapping Program!

[Green Charizard]

Excellent job LU-HO, what can we all say but thank you!

[Xiros]

Wow, excellent job LU-HO, i love it.
I have tried it and i love it.


A question, its still obligatory to repoint if u insert a tileset with less tiles?

[Derlo]

The new version was very good..But the language PORTUGUESE of BRAZIL no this working... and some codes of the behaviour types in FireRed still don't work. Example the 03 (animation of the high gram, that I verified that the rom has the animation) but the command doesn't activate.

Even with those small problems the version 1.9 this wonderful one!!

Thank you very much for that!

good-bye!
(I am Brazilian and I wrote that with a translator's help. XD)

[LU-HO]

Wow, excellent job LU-HO, i love it.
I have tried it and i love it.

A question, its still obligatory to repoint if u insert a tileset with less tiles?

the Tileset image will now save compressed, and will ask (Repoint dialog) if you need to repoint.


@Derlo;3350931: i have answerd in the translation Thread.^^


@all:Translations are still needed, please ask me first perhaps a other person is still working on the same language.

[fuznug]

i am not a very active member here but i do minter this section often, and i must say that i am extremely impressed with all the new features!!! so on behalf of all the rom hackers around here thank you all very much for your good work

[makunouchi]

Hey LU-Ho there is a problem with my AM.
It says that "all ini files have to be placed in their directories and the respective sub directories" or something like that.

[Virtual Chatot]

I finished downloading it LU-HO, and from what i've seen so far, this new version is amazing!

Maybe I'll be able to incorporate some of these new ideas into my Mac Mapping Program.

[Darthatron]

Simply fantastic! You're a genius! I love the World Map Editor, it is fantastic, it will make peoples lives so much easier. Palette Editor is a great idea too, for all the lazy people, like me. You've done so much and it is all great, can't wait 'till V. 1.91! :D

[Kike-Scott]

Wow! **Faints**
I've been expecting this for ages!
Nowwe can edit World Map Data! Also the tilesets are compressed!
Pallete editing is also very handy!
Thanks so much LU-HO!

[Woofer]

I'm more of a hacker in training, but the release of programs like this are a big boost to moral and a nice step in the right direction; this make me want to try to hack even more.

Thanks LH.

[dshayabusa]

Simply amazing! The level script editor will especially come in handy for me.

EDIT: This is what happened when I tried to create a new pallete in an unused one. In AdvanceMap the colours are perfect but when I run it this happens:
http://i30.tinypic.com/1251g5v.png
A bug? Or is there a work around?

This is what it looks like in AdvanceMap:
http://i29.tinypic.com/jh4ze9.png

[SerenadeDS]

I got 1.90 yesterday. I must say, very amazing! And just when you think AdvanceMap has got it all covered. :P But I hate the fact that it is THAT much easier for some n00b >.<

Thanks LU-HO and Mastermind_X.

[Scorp Con]

Now you can call A-map Advance! xd

If you could at least change the picture of the region, not only where the towns/routes are.

[Kike-Scott]

@dshayabusa: That bug, about the palletes, is probabby because you've used 12+ Palletes, usually the 12th pallete is the last, but AM shows up to 15 palletes.

Also, I have a question for LU-HO, the Black Screen when entering a map bug...
I have that on Dewford Town Map, in Crystal Shards Rom, that means if I edit it with this new version, It'll be fixed, or already damaged maps will stay like that forever?

[itman1234]

Now you can call A-map Advance! xd

If you could at least change the picture of the region, not only where the towns/routes are.

That's really hard to put in, that is what cyclone is for...
I love the fact we can change the map data :)

I think the best feature is the pallete editor, its fun to play around with ;)

Only question: since i'm using a-map 1.9, my scripts from the old one are still in...but the unowns and var numbers are backwards, should i re-switch them, or did you change that in a-map 1.9?

[cε׀׀]

This is the best tool ever,
And pallete editing is so much easier,
And finally we can edit world map data. I've been waiting for this for ages and its finally here xD

~C3LEBI

[WaterSplash]

LU-HO, I love you. This is a great tool, and I hope this will help people make better hacks (actually I'm sure it will). :P

[alaa]

This is an amazing program! One question, How would you edit the main map background with all of the cities on it?

[Kristian]

This is an amazing program! One question, How would you edit the main map background with all of the cities on it?

u have to do that in cyclone..its not possible in amap1.9, it also says in the program that it only changes the data

[ViToDaGuiDo]

alright heres my problem with it, i am trying to change all the water in the game to red but for some reason it applys but never stays, when i reload the rom it either goes back to blue, complete black or the original color i tried turning it red from. any help with this?

[derv1205]

Nice tool LU-HO ^^ but, one question, for what is that option that says "OPEN SCRIPT" because
when i click it an error appears, it says "No Script Editor Defined" what should i do?

[Scorp Con]

Well, you don't need to look at the region map to finish the game ;) I'll delete Town Map ;)

[makunouchi]

yeah but you need the region map to select where to FLY to.
Anyways can anyone help me with my problem?

[megiddo]

alright heres my problem with it, i am trying to change all the water in the game to red but for some reason it applys but never stays, when i reload the rom it either goes back to blue, complete black or the original color i tried turning it red from. any help with this? You have to select write palette changes to rom.

[ViToDaGuiDo]

hey thanks i appreciate it it worked but maybe you can help with my next problem... in AM its red but when i go to run my rom its green ... any suggestions?

[Pachel]

nice work on This Version but please remove pallete 13,14,15 out of the list because when used it can create erors.

[Scorp Con]

yeah but you need the region map to select where to FLY to.
Anyways can anyone help me with my problem?
Then I'll delete HM FLY, and add "Train Stations" xd

[Frostbite]

This program is great!
I absolutely love the new features it has and the improvements it has from the last version.

I do agree that the byte behaviors in FR need to be polished up a little, I got a little over-excited when I first saw them, other than that, it's great!

The tool for changing the world map data is definitely very useful, I'm very glad that you we're able to incorporate that in A-map.

[Prof. 9]

The AMKontextMenu doesn't seem to be working for me... apparently it can't find the AMKontextMenu file or something like that =/ (what exactly is the KontextMenu anyway?)

And some kind of error message thingy opened when I first opened the World Map changer, but I accidentally pressed enter too fast... what did it say?

Other than that, I really love this new version ^^

[mistersmeargle]

I don't know why but I keep getting this message for certain maps:
'Access violation at address 004CBD0B in module 'Advance Map.exe'.
Read of address 31293129.'

It's really annoying and is slowing down my hacking, what's the problem?

[LU-HO]

Hi everybody

this is going to be a long post...
all questions that are allready answered form a user i will not also answare.

so i start:
@dshayabusa: That bug, about the palletes, is probabby because you've used 12+ Palletes, usually the 12th pallete is the last, but AM shows up to 15 palletes.

Also, I have a question for LU-HO, the Black Screen when entering a map bug...
I have that on Dewford Town Map, in Crystal Shards Rom, that means if I edit it with this new version, It'll be fixed, or already damaged maps will stay like that forever?
No, this wouldn’t work.
The problem for this „black-screen-bug“ is the offset the map is saved. (offset must end with on of 0,4,8 or C)
There are 4 types of this bug, I will say you the workaround for it.
- open your map
- go to the header view and activate the Settings->Professional Header view
- test the following 4 types and do what I say there.
1. The map bank is saved at a invalid address: (on Prof. header view the „Map bank offset“ is invalid (ends not on the correct one I listen above, Exp. ends on 2))
(on this error in the most case this type of the error will make each map black, if you change the map in the game/start new game)
- go to Tools->Change map bank->Re-locate map bank
- it should ask you for the bank number, the default is the bank of the actual map, so press [OK]
- it asks you for the space it should reserve
here you can insert the value you want, or “0” if no new “map space” is needed
and press [OK]
(- if you have deactivate the Settings->Automatically lock for offsets, you now must search a new offset with the re-locate window)

2. The map header is saved at a invalid address: (on Prof. header view the „Map header offset“ is invalid (ends not on the correct one I listen above, Exp. ends on 6))
- go to “insert map” on toolbar
- insert your map on a new position by using “Available space” or “Create new space”
(- if you have deactivate the Settings->Automatically lock for offsets, you now must search a new offset with the re-locate window)
this bank.map combination can not be used anymore

3. The map fooder is saved at a invalid address: (on Prof. header view the „Map footer offset“ is invalid (ends not on the correct one I listen above, Exp. ends on A))
- go to “insert map” on toolbar
- insert your map on a new position by using “Available space” or “Create new space”
(- if you have deactivate the Settings->Automatically lock for offsets, you now must search a new offset with the re-locate window)
this bank.map combination can not be used anymore

4. The map data/border is saved at a invalid address: (on Prof. header view the „Map offset“/„Border offset” is invalid (ends not on the correct one I listen above, Exp. ends on E))
- go to “insert map” on toolbar
- choose the same bank/map number the map is save under “Replace map”
or
- insert your map on a new position by using “Available space” or “Create new space”
(- if you have deactivate the Settings->Automatically lock for offsets, you now must search a new offset with the re-locate window)

I hope this helps everyone with “black maps”.


So, for the others there are smaller answers:
That's really hard to put in, that is what cyclone is for...
I love the fact we can change the map data :)

I think the best feature is the pallete editor, its fun to play around with ;)

Only question: since i'm using a-map 1.9, my scripts from the old one are still in...but the unowns and var numbers are backwards, should i re-switch them, or did you change that in a-map 1.9?
In AdanceMap 1.82 there was 2 text fields.
Each byte was on one text fields. (in the same order it is saved in the hexeditor)
For using a var number/value in a script you have to change the bytes in the old AdvanceMap => using 1234 in script, writing [34] [12], now you can write [1234]
So now you can write the number in the same way you write it in a scripteditor.

Nice tool LU-HO ^^ but, one question, for what is that option that says "OPEN SCRIPT" because
when i click it an error appears, it says "No Script Editor Defined" what should i do?
There is no Scripteditor in the AdvanceMap script.

You must download a Scripteditor.
After downloading, you can choose the scripteditor you want to use with in the menu: Settings->Choose script editor
If you use scripted as script editor you must copy the file rubikon.dat from scripted in the directory where the rom is.
(To use scripted, I have to run the script editor “in” the directory of the romfile, and scripted search the rubikon.dat file in the “run under” directory)

Hey LU-Ho there is a problem with my AM.
It says that "all ini files have to be placed in their directories and the respective sub directories" or something like that.
@All having this problem:
You must do what the message say.. therefore I have insert the message.
Check if you have a “ini”-directory under your AdvanceMap-directory.
If not, or the *.ini files aren’t in this directory do the follow:
Extract the zip files in the folders there are in the ini, do not extract all files in the same directory.
If you do so this error will disappear an AdvanceMap will work.

hey thanks i appreciate it it worked but maybe you can help with my next problem... in AM its red but when i go to run my rom its green ... any suggestions?
For me it work, I don’t know what you have do exactly please contact me per ICQ (number is in my profile.)

nice work on This Version but please remove pallete 13,14,15 out of the list because when used it can create erors.
OK, I will do so for the next version…

The AMKontextMenu doesn't seem to be working for me... apparently it can't find the AMKontextMenu file or something like that =/ (what exactly is the KontextMenu anyway?)

And some kind of error message thingy opened when I first opened the World Map changer, but I accidentally pressed enter too fast... what did it say?

Other than that, I really love this new version ^^
The AMKontextMenu is a part of the “right click“ menu, the Context menu from Windows.
There is a “AMKontextMenu.dll”-file in you AdvanceMap directory.
To activate/deactivate this new “tool” you must use the AdvaceMapMenu: Settings->Use AM context menu
There will only be new entries if you right click on an *.gba file.

I don't know why but I keep getting this message for certain maps:
'Access violation at address 004CBD0B in module 'Advance Map.exe'.
Read of address 31293129.'

It's really annoying and is slowing down my hacking, what's the problem?
I don’t know why this are so, please contact me per ICQ (number is in my profile.) so we can see where is the problem together.


Greetings LU-HO

[Kristian]

there is something thats bothering me, a bug..it was in 1.82 to, but i thought someone had reported it..
when u insert a block tileset, some of ur tiles gets corrupted
:o
but u cant see it in amap, u have to be in the game to see it
things like this:
http://img295.imageshack.us/img295/378/erorscreenkt3.png
and those trees arent really there in amap :/

Is there a Map change (a connection) some where?
i think this are the Border Block you see here.
so you haven't set the connections correct ...

hmm...
have you tried to change the map in the game.
For exampe fly to another city and walk back to that place where the error is?

[Pachel]

well its my map actulie the tiles are not vieuwable and there nothing wrong with height and weight and conection.

so what is wrong?

[derv1205]

Hi, well, this error doesnt appear to me, it appears to a friend that doesnt speak english, so i post
for him ^^
He says that when he put in "Save TileSet 1" this error appears:
http://img352.imageshack.us/img352/3963/errornecroangelui3.png
But it appears only when he save with the palls 0,4,7,10,11,12,13,14
What happens?

[Teh Baro]

Wow, it's awesome. Love the world map edition feautre. what does the change routine button do to the rom exactly? And what about fly/display flags? I get what they are but, will it allow me to add more putting my own flags? *gotta try it*. Shouldn't display flags -they're the dungeon's info thing, right?- have a pointer associated for the text or something like that? What does the flying position info contain? How does one control the dimensions of a route in the map (for example, most routes are 3 tiles long, or 3 tiles wide?

It's a lot of questions, I know, but well. Some of them I will figure them out later on when I mess with this.

[Virtual Chatot]

I have a glitch LU-HO

Whenever you try to change the name of a map, it crashes the entire area if you just switched to it.

That's because you have 2 excatly same colors in yours palette

[Pachel]

i fixed the error of me but about pal 13,14,15 and even more they don't need to be removed there handy only not within am much with pal editing when editing in hex the colors come right without hex causes no good colors.

Hey, Teh Baro, read my worldmap tutorial in order to get some answers. For everything else... it would be good if you had some reversing skills.

I think that I can translate it into Chinese,I just need a word list

[BerserkPaladin]

Very nice indeed. The interface is a lot cleaner as well. I like the pallete editor but the world map editor sucks.

I found a glitch in advance map 1.90.
Instructions on how to reproduce the glitch:

Open up pokemon ruby.
Open up any map in the "from header" section.
Go to the "map files" section.
Go to testmap_absolut
It will come up with an end-of-file error
Now, go back to "from header" and click on a few of the maps. Some come up with errors, the rest are just messed up out of all recognition.
Hint: Don't save the ROM when it's like this!!

[Deokishisu]

I love this. Thank you so much LU-HO and everyone who worked on this! It's got everything I wanted, and some things I hadn't realized I wanted until I looked at it!

I do have a question though, how exactly do I use the world map editor? I can't seem to get it to change anything. For example, I'll click on Pallet Town and change it's X and Y position in the little box, yet it doesn't move at all. Heck, I even tried to drag it. Same with the routes and such. How is it supposed to work?

[Leon Blade]

Hello LU-HO,
I like your Advance Map Upgrade. It's pretty good.
I have a question regarding the Script Editor. I attempted to open it with Notepad++ to use it with my Add-on for PokeScript. However unknown characters in the editor would imply that the Script Editor should actually be called a Hex Editor?
If you could get back to me on what kind of Script or Hex Editor I should be using that would be great. As the name "Script Editor" has me confused.

Thanks
--Leon Blade

[swampert22]

Well, despite what some people are saying about the world map editor, I think it's great! It does work, here is some proof:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4806/soevnworldmapaf2.th.png (http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=soevnworldmapaf2.png)

There that shows what you can do with a little effort. If you read Zel's hex tutorial in M_X's map lesson it's quite easy to understand.

I do have one question for LU-HO. On the second level data, for extra features on the map, that appear as a blue dot, they appear in red if they weren't originally used as map features. Here's an example:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7358/soevnworldmap2zx8.th.png (http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=soevnworldmap2zx8.png)

Any idea how to make it turn orange?

Thanks

[LU-HO]

I have a glitch LU-HO

Whenever you try to change the name of a map, it crashes the entire area if you just switched to it.
what do you mean with "rashes the entire area" i geht no error ...

I think that I can translate it into Chinese,I just need a word list
in AdvanceMap directory under /ini/Sprachen/ there are all language files.
copy the english (or an other) and translate to your language.
send me the file in unicode format, and i wil insert in in the next language pack^^

I love this. Thank you so much LU-HO and everyone who worked on this! It's got everything I wanted, and some things I hadn't realized I wanted until I looked at it!

I do have a question though, how exactly do I use the world map editor? I can't seem to get it to change anything. For example, I'll click on Pallet Town and change it's X and Y position in the little box, yet it doesn't move at all. Heck, I even tried to drag it. Same with the routes and such. How is it supposed to work?
after changing the X and Y positon you must press Save Position.
if you would now start the rom and go to this town and open the map the curser will start at tne new position (this x/y data is only for this information...)
to change the data where the town/routes are, you must change the mapdata(Value or chombobox), not the namedata.
you must change the value for each x/y coordinate possibility on the map.
after saving the change your finished.

Hello LU-HO,
I like your Advance Map Upgrade. It's pretty good.
I have a question regarding the Script Editor. I attempted to open it with Notepad++ to use it with my Add-on for PokeScript. However unknown characters in the editor would imply that the Script Editor should actually be called a Hex Editor?
If you could get back to me on what kind of Script or Hex Editor I should be using that would be great. As the name "Script Editor" has me confused.

Thanks
--Leon Blade
you must use a "script decompiler" a tool who can read the "hexdatas" and make "scriting command" from it. ScriptED work (if you coppy rubikon.dat in the dir where the rom is..) i haven't test much script editors with AM, becouse i know none of them ^^"

Well, despite what some people are saying about the world map editor, I think it's great! It does work, here is some proof:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/4806/soevnworldmapaf2.th.png (http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=soevnworldmapaf2.png)

There that shows what you can do with a little effort. If you read Zel's hex tutorial in M_X's map lesson it's quite easy to understand.

I do have one question for LU-HO. On the second level data, for extra features on the map, that appear as a blue dot, they appear in red if they weren't originally used as map features. Here's an example:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/7358/soevnworldmap2zx8.th.png (http://img135.imageshack.us/my.php?image=soevnworldmap2zx8.png)

Any idea how to make it turn orange?

Thanks
"if they weren't originally used as map features" what do you mean with this?

have you set a Flag value?
have try to use the same flag as on an other of the blue one? perhabs there are only a list of compatible flags... (I dont know)

a other idee i havnt for the moment.

[Tré]

finally we can edit the world map yay!!!!!!!!
this is awesome .......

[Virtual Chatot]

I really can't explain this glitch anymore than what I did...

I'll make a video to show you exactly what happens, maybe you could make some sense of it.

[ash2000]

Um, LuHo can the create new names option be used in AM1.9??

[X-Buster]

u have to do that in cyclone..its not possible in amap1.9, it also says in the program that it only changes the data

cyclone is a little bit useless in this parts, open cyclone make a save then open it in a hex editor, changing the hex value would change the tile and thats the point, try changing the hex values and when your done, save it..!

The only thing that you gonna do is inserting it to the ROM(of course)..!
open your hex editor, load up your ROM and serch for an empty space(ff's or 00's) write down the offset(e.g. 00123ABC) then open unZL.GBA,load up your ROM and do "File - load RAW" select the RAW and click write to ROM, uncheck auto abord and fix pointers and change the offset with the new one.. then hit ok. go back to the hex editor, then search for 9C083F08(thats the original offset) before doing anything else, lets remove the first two zero's of the new offset and REVERSE it(e.g. 123ABC -> BC3A12) then change the original offset with that one [don't change the 08](e.g. 9C083F08 -> BC3A1208) save it and your Done..!

This is Mastermind_X was trying to say in his tut..!
Thx Mm_X..!

[LU-HO]

Um, LuHo can the create new names option be used in AM1.9??

As you can see, the option is also disabled in this Version.

as i have say i the last versions:
- there are other points where are lists of data.
- this lists must be incrased also.
- for worldmap date we have found some lists, but thre must be more of them...

bevor i know all the lists, and there structure i cannot aktivate this option becouse it wouldnt work...

I think you should try to make for the next release;

a full world map editor (changing what it looks like not data but just changing )

and when you have linked a script editor in, a box should appear at the bottom of the events box showing what happens in the script.

Yeah, this keeps happening and corrupting data. When I try to load it on VBA, it freezes. What's going on?

ok....

i cannot say why this ouccure, becouse i don't know what you have do in this moment the error appears. and what you have change on the ROM allready.

the follow inforamtion i need:
- The error (AdvanceMap Error number if there are one, otherwise the error Message)
- rom type
- time/position where in AM this error occure (starting am, open rom, open, map[also need map number(original/changed/new map?)], open blockeditor ......... ?)
- do this occure also in a clean/new ROM?
- can you conntact me with ICQ so wie can se together where is the problem....

I like te new version!
Its very good;)

[woody_ardman]

hey i think advanced map is a great tool.. ive had advanced map 1.90 for a day and while i was changing the map dimensions of a map it decided to delete all of map bank 3 ? :S:S
very frustrating as i have been working on my a hack for a long time :(

[zel]

Well, I'm trying the new version of AMap, and so far it's looking good and I'm sure it'll help everyone. I still have a lot to go to discover all the changes.

Right now I was testing the world map, and since all I need now is to, change the top and some of the bottom layers locations' positions, I had to make use of the "Change on the Routine" (dont worry, I'm testing on a clean FR), and, apparently, there's some kind of mistake on the modified routine, because, before changing the routine, I could change the PosX/Y of the stuff in the Bottom layer without problems (once you opened the world map the hero's head showed up where it was changed), but, after changing the routine, some routes stopped responding to the changes, and they always showed at the top left side of the map, and not only that, it's as if the area where you can move the selector was moved and you could end up with the selector way out of screen.
As I was testing with a clean FR on a recently started new game, I just could see this happening in Routes2 and 22. However, R1, and the two cities there (Viridian and Pallet) dont seem to have this problem.

Maybe you need to check something in the modified routine, M_X? ;P
(I dont think I'm doing something wrong, all I did was use the Change routine button, and then, those two routes were messed up while the other stuff remain correct)

[Mastermind_X]

Oh great. -.-" You're talking about FRUS V1.0 I guess? That's strange. I never had problems when I replaced the routines by my self-made ones. To be honest - I don't even understand what could be wrong since the new routines do exactly what the old ones did, they only are much easier to edit. =\

[zel]

Alright, let me write a step by step guide of what I did, in case maybe I have done something wrong...

1-I have started a FR new game till the moment I had the Town Map (still no changes through AMap)
2-Tested the world map's normality (as there were no changes, everything was fine)
3-Closed emu and loaded the rom into AMap, opened World Map editor (with the usual Error->Change Routine message)
4-Went into Map1 and used the "Change Routines" button, then closed AMap
5-Opened the emu and the changed rom, testing the World Map once again, the results were: Pallet, R1 and Viridian put the hero's head where it should, while R2 and R22 put the hero's head in the top left corner of the map (with that area moving thing I mentioned before)

And nothing more, as you can see, the only thing I did was touching a button -_- (And by the looks of it, some routes mantained the info, while others not)

Well, if more people try to do what I did it'd be interesting to see what results they get. I know the Change Routine is a must, so I want to make sure it wont mess stuff for when I really have to use it. I'm trying on my old FR 1.0 (I'm bolding this phrase so people realize we need to test this Change Routine button)

(oh, by the way, it's not like I need to change the hero's location for the routes, we have that covered, but, since the Top Layer's locations are what worries me... XP)

[Prof. 9]

I have a kind of hard question (that's why I decided not to post it in Simple questions)... I somehow screwed up a map's border width/length, so I re-pointed the border offset to a free space location, but now the border's width/length are still wrong. Whenever I try to enter Proheader mode with that map, I get the following error message:
http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/2821/temporarywy9.png
Whenever I first turn off Proheader, then view the header, and then enable Proheader again, I can see all the offsets and stuff but I can't edit anything.

So, could anyone please tell me how to edit the border's width and height manually with a hex editor? I've tried many other ways to make the border look right in-game, but none of them has worked (by the way, I'm editing FR Viridian City).

(Btw, I think I screwed it up by editing the map's width/height in Proheader mode with AM 1.82).

Same here, with 1.0 rom.
Wasn't aware it worked right on some routes.

Although it doesn't worry me that much - yet.

very frustrating as i have been working on my a hack for a long time :(

What do you mean with Delete all Maps of map bank 3?
where do you change the map size? (normal-/ profi header view?)

PS: I hoe you have made backups as allbody say it.
never "test" a new tool if you havnt make a backup.
PS: perhabs you can use the File name: <romname>.bak be rename it to .gba
it is a automatet backup that AdvanceMap make befor each open of the Romfile...

to change the Border height in hexeditor make the "normal/profi header view" thing to see the offsets.
now take the offset "Map footer offset" go to the Hexeditor at this offset+24 (18 hex) there the border width and height is written (one byte each)

PS: in the original FR eng it would be the Offset $2DE3E4

[Philman]

Wunderbar! Absolutely great! Love the improvements!

Just one thing... when will there ever be a "batch tile" paster? I always wanted to be able to just select a bunch of tiles and paste them in with one click. Like let's say a tree. Instead of having to puzzle-together the whole object, why not just make "presets" of various objects and have the ability to select the whole thing and just place it onto the map? Is this possible? Could it be? I'm just throwing ideas around...

but I simply cherish these improvements! You guys are my Pokémon Renegade heroes!

[Martin™]

Already there. Control + Middleclick.

Simple, useful, wanted, yet undiscovered.

Thank you LU-HO for releasing at least incomplete translation to Slovak, I will complete it within a week.

Cheers!

Hi please read the "readme" ...
there are a set of shortcuts who descripe what you can do with AdvanceMap.

and your question will be answared in the readme also.

[Philman]

Woo mama! Thanks a lot LU-HO and Martin² for the help! Heck yeah! You made my day!

Oh, one more question... I hope this isn't swaying too much off topic:
on Advance Map... how can one have "tall-grass-effect" on non-tall grass floor? Kind of like on caves or the Pokémon Tower in FireRed?

[MudMast]

with thiis version (and other versions)

how do you make it show ALL events?

like in ruby/saphire - player parent is shown for male character but not the mum if you were playing as the female character

go to the blockeditor the behavior bytes, there you should se thw value you must use on your block (use the same that are used on the grass) i'm not sure, but think that should make what you need.

with thiis version (and other versions)

how do you make it show ALL events?

like in ruby/saphire - player parent is shown for male character but not the mum if you were playing as the female character

You see all events.
the mom there are if you are female characer is the same, thre are scriopts that move the event to a oter position on the start if you are the female character.

[frank$or]

Hey, I was just scripting and mapping a map in my fire red rom. I finished mapping etc so after that I clicked on all edited maps to see if they are all alright (Since I keep getting that stupid Advanced Map Error(2): cannot read bytes behind.......) so I went to my 2nd edited city (viridian) and then suddenly 8 popups came which screwed my map. I noticed alot of errors with: $701AE0 IS NOT A POINTER (something like that.) But I remembered the offset because I was trying to do something with the flypaths, and I remember one of them was $701AE0 or something..

To be Exact I received these errors:

AdvancedMapError (5): The value for $71ACF4 Is not a pointer!
AdvancedMapError (5): The value for $71ACF8 Is not a pointer!
AdvancedMapError (5): The value for $71ACFC Is not a pointer!
AdvancedMapError (5): The value for $71AD00 Is not a pointer!
AdvancedMapError (5): The value for $71B9FC Is not a pointer!
AdvancedMapError (1): Try to read pos at 1 (5 times)

[Martin™]

I have almost same problems that frank$or has, and it's getting annoying (7 ROMs messed up this way. Thank God that those were only test ones). I have sent you a PM. And I forgot to mention the thing about "the value ... is not a pointer" error, it came up in my AM, too. Can you do something with it? And please, remove the Slovak translation till I complete the redone one. Cause I need to shorten strings plus fix mixed ones. Thanks.

When you create a new level script in a map that doesn't have any pre-existing level scripts the buffer (0000 at the end of the level script) is not created. This causes the game to freeze after the level script has finished. Also, when you choose any of the Hiddens in the Movement Type box the first hidden is always chosen. The first hidden is buggy because when you make it appear using the movement raw 61 and then use pausemove on it it disappears.

first of all let me say i love this new release =D
but i have a problem loading maps with specific tilesets (celadon city tileset, tileset 61 with forest entrance)
it'll come up saying parameter error
when i go into elite map and change those problematic tilesets for others i know work, when i go into advancemap and load the map with the changed tileset it loads and works fine

You must use a scripteditor that is able to decompile scripts from the ROM!
PokeScript is not able to do...

You must download a scriptDECOMPILER. (like ScriptED, this tool is tested and work with AdvanceMap)
After downloading, you can choose the scriptDECOMPILER you want to use with in the menu: Settings->Choose script editor
If you use scripted as script editor you must copy the file rubikon.dat from scripted in the directory where the rom is.
(To use scripted, I have to run the script editor “in” the directory of the romfile, and scripted search the rubikon.dat file in the “run under” directory)

Than you haved read good enought:
Map view:
------------
Left mouse button => Draw current block / Stamp.
Middle mouse button => Fill tool, replace all connected blocks of the same type with another.
Right mouse button => Select hovered block as current.

Ctrl/Strg + Left mouse button => Draw current block.
Ctrl/Strg + Middle mouse button => Fill tool, replace all connected blocks of the same type with another.
Ctrl/Strg + Right mouse button => Select big block, on click and select the selected area will be shown in a new window.

after the big block (tree) is selectet you can paint/stamp it.
you can alos copy part of maps with this tool from one to a other map.

this selection wor also on block palette:
Map view - Block palette:
-------------------------
Left mouse button => Select hovered block as current.
Middle mouse button => Select hovered block as current.
Right mouse button => Select hovered block as current.

Ctrl/Strg + Left mouse button => Select hovered block as current.

Whatever happened to manual repointing when you want to enlarge a map? I tried to enlarge 0.0 (Petalburg Ctiy) to a 64x64 map size, and it gave me a "Advancemap Error (4) cannot change bytes at end of file". I'm thinking it may have something to do with repointing, any suggestions?

This error occure if AdvanceMap try to save data "behind" end of file, behind the 16MB of the rom. this is not possible and therefore this error occure.

perhaps you give advancemap a offset it sould save the new map, that is not possible, or there are some other errors in you rom...

LU-HO, i was wondering if in the next version you maybe might have a
berry offset for you know, the berry tree script or something
so you can edit berry trees in RSE FRLG roms. ;D

i love advance map its so cool i would be bored if it wasnt for advance map

[cooley]

LU-HO, i was wondering if in the next version you maybe might have a

That will render useless because all you have to do is make a berry tree tile, and make scripts for each one.

[Silver Riolu]

LU-HO, I don't mean that sort of berry offset,
I mean the berries in RSE, that can be picked and
replanted again and watered, those sort of berries all have the same offset,
it would be good if they can edited. I just can't edit them in RSE.

umm hey look this looks great and all and i dunno if i am covering a topic already brought up but i cant be stuffed looking thorugh all 5 pages or but when i run the advanced map thingy it launches and lets me selct language i go to agreement i agree but then thats it it odesnt open the program up so i try again and same thign happens like a cycle o well any help would be appreciated umm i can rember this happening with the last release and i cant rember how i fixed it btw 1.82 is doing same thing now as well. thanks in advanced

Are you ever going to make this thing open source? It's not like you're making any profit on it and I'd like to tear it open.

[LU-HO]

Hi, its been a while LuHo, how's the bugfixed Amap coming? Is it ready yet? I'am tired of all the errors.

I have start to beginn the bugfixing Version since last week.
My PC is damaged, and i have to buy and setup an new one...

"of all the errors." i'm searching for all the bugs there are in the moment.
can you list "all errors" you know? or send them per PN to me?

Are you ever going to make this thing open source? It's not like you're making any profit on it and I'd like to tear it open.

No, it is not plan to make it open source.
But in the futur if i end making Romhacking i would make it open source, so it do not "die".

[Silver Riolu]

LU-HO, maybe the next version could have something so that you could
edit the internal clock or even add an clock in FRLG.

[..Beyond]

How do you edit the border? I changed the outside of Pallet Town to be rock, but I can't change beyond what's on the screen while I'm editing it. Is there a way to switch what the border is beyond the screen?

[Derlo]

Hello!

Well I was using AMAP 1.9 in my rom of FR, after creating 2 new maps it happened that problem when I created the 3rd map and I tried to edit his/her size:

http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6523/errokx8.png (http://imageshack.us)
http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/6523/errokx8.78449c922d.jpg (http://g.imageshack.us/g.php?h=120&i=errokx8.png)

I had already made that with 2 maps that I had created before and that mistake didn't happen!!
But using AMAP 1.82 that mistake doesn't happen... I get to INSERT and to INCREASE THE SIZE of the MAP without problems.. but when I open the rom in AM1.9 that mistake turn to happen...

How could that be solved!?

[Xeon]

I might just make my own AdvanceMap just to challenge myself. I've made other map editors before so this shouldn't be beyond the realm of the impossible. I also told Kawa I was going to make a new EliteMap.

[geno421]

Not sure if this an error or not but I can only edit one part of Route 1 for FireRed.
Any reason why this would happen? (I'll post a screen shot if you want)

[LU-HO]

LU-HO, maybe the next version could have something so that you could
edit the internal clock or even add an clock in FRLG.

the clock is not a simple thing.
I don't know how this would work, sorry.

you can change the border in the map view of AdvanceMap, it ist at tob right, over the Blockpaletts. You can just paint there as you paint in the map.

I don't know why this happen exactly, but in the moment i have begin to make a bugfix releas, and i will try to remove this bug also.

i wish you luck in this project. perhaps we can give each other new ideas.

What do you mean with "only edit one part"?
yes, pleas show a print screen.

[geno421]

Ok I was really tired when I tried editing Route 1.
I did not notice it had a scroll bar for the map. >.>

Sorry for the confusion. :)

[D-Trogh]

No, it is not plan to make it open source.
But in the futur if i end making Romhacking i would make it open source, so it do not "die".But, normally you should.. right?
Yeah, I decided to release source code. Feel free to create derivate works from it, as long as you clearly give me credits of my code and make available the sourcecode of derivative programs or programs where you used parts of my code. The new map engine is so good in my opinion, that it would be waste if it was only used in one program. So feel free to use it for creating map editors for other games.

[Myoko-chan]

How do you open the script?

[megiddo]

I had that cannot read bytes beyond end of file thing happen. I was editing a map and I saved it, and then when I went to edit another map the map I went to edit became corrupted. All of my events on that map were set to 0,0 with everything zeroed out. I put them back in and saved and reopened the map and they were erased again.

[Katsu]

hi, This is my first post on these boards, And I only decided to begin researching on pokemon hacking yesterday, so it's safe to say I'm a total n00b. Anyway, I dl'd A-map and tried to open a rom I have of Leaf Green, And everytime I do the program just freezes and I have to shut it down, then the window pops up saying it wasn't responding properly. I tried many different ROM files but the same thing happens.

Anyone know what I should be doing here?

[LU-HO]

But, normally you should.. right?

This discussion we have already for 3 or more years.
I get the source before there was written it is under the GPL.
Afterwards i ask Jiggly, and i get a special permission form him, so i haven't to release the code.
and I add credits to him in the About box and on the Splash screen:
http://lu-ho.s229.deinprovider.de/am/images/amstartbild.jpg

and if you don't belief me, you can ask him!


How do you open the script?

By Pressing the "open Script" button or double click the event.
but you must first select a Scripteditor(respectively a script DECOMPILER):
Menu settings->choose script editor
it is only tested wit scriptED. read more on the other sites of this thread.

The program take a while to open/analyse the rom.
what version of Windows do you have? AdvanceMap is designed for win 2000/win xp/win vista

[Katsu]

I have windows XP. 1gb RAM, I hardly have any other programs open whilst attempting to open the ROM. I mean, how long is a while? Cos i was only waiting for like..1 and a half minutes or something. Guess I should just leave it to load?

It shouldn't go very long.
i would try to wait longer, and with a clean rom.

the strange thing is, on my old pc (don't work any more...) it take the half that it take on my new one, and the new is 5 times faster...
on the old one i have winXP SP1, on the new one it is winXP SP2 perhaps that is the thing....

[geno421]

I am having an error opening a map I saved like Megiddo is.
I open the map and it gives me an error of "AdvanceMapError(2): Cannot read bytes behind end of file! Please contakt luhpoke@gmail.com"

When I click Ok the error comes up again and then the maps appears with all events at 0,0.

Screenshots attached.

[LU-HO]

Hello @ all

I'm work on a BugFix version for AM at the moment.

I found out the problem why the "AdvanceMapError(2): Cannot read bytes behind end of file!" error occurs.

The error is in the Map resize function. It overwrite data form other Maps or the Event data...

therefore:
do not use the Resize function in AdvanceMap 1.90
The function delete your data in the Rom and your data are lost, no possibility to get the data back!

I will release the BugFix version as soon as possible.

greetz LU-HO

[MudMast]

what about the previous AM's?

is the resize function messed up on them?


For later releases, will AM get more new functions, like its own scripter, etc?

[IceCharizard]

I'm using A-Map 1.82 now and I have not heard of that problem

[MudMast]

ok then, that must be the problem of my hack then, ill just use 1.82 for now till a bug fix comes (or maybe just resize them in A-Map 1.82)

[geno421]

The map itself is still fine just the events are messed up.
So with the new fix if I remake the events will that map then be ok to still use? Or should I remake the map?

[Time]

so I see...
that's why my bro has problems when resizing maps. :\
good thing I never resized any maps, yet.

anyways, just do things slowly, yet surely.
best of luck~

[cloudffvii2696]

sweet! now I can edit the maps!
w00t

[Hacker01]

Hey LU-HO, do you know when you will be able to release the bug fix version of A-Map?

[Melash]

Okay, I have a problem with Advanced Map. You know on the right side of the screen, where you can insert the different kinds of squares? Well, on mine, about half of them are completely black and I can't tell what they are! Please help me, I'm juist a newbie...

do you hack a FireRed/LeafGreen Rom?
do you edit this map first with a previous version of AdvanceMap?

if yes then the Problem is the BorderBlock size...
you must change to the Header view, change to the professional Header view (Ctrl+H) and than you can change there the Block height and Block width to 2 and 2. and press the save button. that this error should be fixed.

[Melash]

do you hack a FireRed/LeafGreen Rom?

Okay, I was hacking Ruby, and I didn't edit with the previous version of AdvanceMap. Could you please help me, I really want to hack it!

[LU-HO]

Hello together

Hehre the new (BugFix-) Version.

Changes:
- On Repointing Header, there will be added a EndMark.

-> BugFix for the Bug: bei zu Grossem RandBlock kommt AdvanceMapError(8): Cannot read XX Bytes in a Array with the size of 51! ...'
- The Resize function now work correctly -_-"
-> BugFix for the Bug: when you resize a Map, to much data will deleted. this bug is the reasen for the most AdvanceMapError 2 and 4 and could delete parts of other Maps/Events or other data!

A Map 1.9 is only good for editing maps- A Map 1.82 proves to be better at MAKING maps. It's really glitchy when I make a new map, worse than opposite colours- the numbers have randomly changed (58,32,60 to 175,211,46). That's why I barely trust Amap 1.9- especially if you're a beginner hacker.

[Dan123412]

Wow, Advance Map 1.91! Good job LU-HO! You're the best!

This i do not unterstand. can you please describe better?
and do you mean 1.90 or 1.91?

Hi!
Lu-HO, don't know if that happened with more somebody... but it seems that that new AMAP is worse!!
I just edited an ONLY tree of a ROUT 02... and ROUT 01 was defective!!
All disappeared the events! PEOPLE, SCRIPTS, SINGPOSTS WARPS..... everything disappeared!!
It was not only happened with me... but I will reinstall him and to test again!

If no... I will continue with same AMAP1.82! XD

Check on the first page, have you downloaded the latest version? (Advance Map 1.91) That version has that bug fixed.

Lu-ho I am speaking about the version 1.91!!
in the same day that you posted I downloaded!
and as I spoke... I just changed a tree and all of the events of another map disappeared...
But I still go test her again to see to check if it doesn't happen the same mistake!
- Another thing!
When I made a connection among the maps the same mistake happened before!
Tchau!

[ThuGie]

Ah man i love this application,
I can easily use it to look up some map data its great,

Keep up the work :D

http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/1734/bordersizebv6.th.jpg (http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bordersizebv6.jpg)

1. choose your map
2. change to Header View
3. Press Settings in menü
4. choose Professional Header View (so it is checked like in the Image)
now the view in the part at right will look like it is on the image
5. change Border width to 2
6. change Border height to 2
7. Press the "Save change and reload map" button
finished. now your problem should not be there anymore... if it is the problem i think...

do not understand a word from what you try to say...

[ThuGie]

LU-HO,

I'm writing something that is able to read the map file that your program is able to save,
Now it was quite easy to locate where the map size is stored,

And i thought also quite easy to locate the Tile and place it on the map,
But it seems not though.

When i load your map file of lets say "PALLET TOWN",
The tree's surounding the village show normaly,
And some grass + 3 signs also,

But the rest seems to be all a mess and i'm not quite sure why.
Also some of the data between the map size and map actual data i dont know what its for.

So i was hoping you could tell me what it means and why it doesnt show correct.

I really hope you can explain it to me,
Heres a screenie i cant post links yet but this should work.

"thugie"."nl"."/image.png" yes the name is really image.png

Well i got a ahead a bit but it still confuses me since when i load a diffrent tileset for a diffrent map the values dont work anymore,


if asc(right(left(map,2),1)) <> 4 and asc(right(left(map,2),1)) <> 48 then
row=row+64
temp=temp
if asc(right(left(map,2),1)) = 17 then
row=row+9
elseif asc(right(left(map,2),1)) = 49 then
row=row-32
elseif asc(right(left(map,2),1)) = 5 then
row=row-32
end if
end if

Using this i am able to show PALLET TOWN fully.

Still hope you can explain this all to me and how the rom shows a top layer since your app seems to make it look like it doesnt have any..
Like walking under a tree you can see yourself standing under it not ontop.

[Xiros]

do not understand a word from what you try to say...

That guy did a comment on wah suggesting you to add to Advance Map the function to change animations (such as tiled), so i guess that's what he tried to say.

Well, for the moment i haven't found any bug on AM 1.91.
This new version of AM is amazing! Keep up the great work!

[Lewis4]

Can somebody help me? when i try to download any advance map above 1.50 it gives me the ewf file(which i think your not supposed to get), i dont know how to fix this issue(and i have tried everthign).Is there somethign i can do to download it(because nothing is working)?

[jakerman999]

Hello, I just downloaded the new version of A-map, and I known that searching through code gets tiresome(being a somewhat experienced programmer myself), but is there anything preventing this from working on windows 98 SE?

1.82 works, but when I load a ROM into 1.91 and choose a map, it gives me a message box which reads:
"The parameter is incorrect".

then when i mouse over one of the buttons at the top(like the load ROM button) it spits back:
"Canvas does not allow drawing".

I have tried with different ROM's and this is always the out-put.
any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

You do know that the forum has a nice edit feature that you can use,
So you dont have to create a other post.

And have you tried reading all 7 pages,
Since one of those can include and probably does,
A fix or a explanation as to why it does what it does for you.

Sweet, you fixed those annoying bugs. Man I love it! I kept on getting errors with the old thing, but now it's better and improved! Thanks!

You said that the resizing problem is fixed in 1.91.

Okay, I tried that instructions you told me to do and it didn't work! I'm using a Windows 98, so is there anyway to fix it?

Sorry, no idea. AdvanceMap isn't supporting winME/win98/win95...
if any version of AdvanceMap work on your old Windows your have luck...

[Melash]

Darn... I though that it would work!

Lu-HO, I still get the Advance map two error. Ive cycled through a variety of roms from emerald to numerous fire reds and I just cant seem to shake It. I never get much past editing pallet town when I try to edit a map to insert another building in the town I cant without causeing the error. Very disheratening. WOuld I be better of with a previous version?

Hello together

The new version is here AdvanceMap 1.92.
It is also a Bugfix Version, but have also some new functions.

Changes:
- it takes the right ini entry 12170 not 1217 for the description of Transaprency question.
- There is new a Chinese and Korean Languagefile.
- The italien languagefile is updated.
- there will no longer be an AMError 4 on resize a map without save the changes first.
(- the amount of Blocks in Emerald Tileset 40 corrected.)
- The Amount of Blocks will now be calculated (difference between Blockdata and Behaviordada). On decrase the Amount this will not work correctly therefore the <Romname>.ini is still required. (the Tileset.ini's isn't still required, but for be save i will not delete them for the moment.)
(there could be problems, if some one repoint the data in hexeditor, because of the form how i calculate it.)
- on people events there will now be better description for one field: View radius/Plant-ID.
- Now it will occure an AdvanceMapError 12 if you open an invalid RomType.
- there is now a %-bar on Encounter radio of wildpokemons.
- on Mapscripts i will use only an 1 Byte EndMarker. (to prevent of override data.)
- improved the handling of EventHeader.
- fixed bugs and improved the Map-replace and map-insert functions.
- the palettes for Tilesets can now saved/loaded in different file formats.
- there is now also a great-block function for the Blockeditor (also here its the keystroke Ctrl+right click)
- new options for recent files (under settings)

Greets goes to:
