try looking at the x/y position on the map. move your mouse pointer at the point where you want to position your warp (or at the door you added), then look at its x/y position at the bottom left of the advance map. you can copy these attributes to your warp details (x/y position) to position where your warp should be located. And please don't forget to put "3" at the unknown slot. it's most commonly used at doors or cave doors. "4" for ladder. and lastly, check the behavior of your chosen door tile. it should be 61 00 for warp... (hope it helps..)

I figured it out last 3 weeks, and thanks by the way.

ahm, can I ask something. well, do you know how to make a new map without replacing the other existing maps and be able to rename it. Using A.M. 1.92 always leads me to create a map with pallet town as its name. I'm just new to this and find it interesting to make a new world... Is it possible. Thank You....

I don't know too. Why not try creating new map sections? (If it's possible)

I scripted for someone to give an item, then they can't give you another.
But the person can give it again once you enter a building and return, as if it resets the flag. Can someone help?

I was testing out a map I made and one of the warps led to a black screen. I tried to fix it any way I could, I deleted and remade the warps, I used a different map for where the warp leads, I changed the tiles the building was made out of, I changed the location of the warp/doorway, everything. All the warps work in Advance Map so I have no idea what is going on. Help?

Anyone know how to get around the "Value .... is not a pointer!" error? I can't open some of my maps now because of it. The exact messages:

ERROR: (ENotAPointer) AdvanceMapError(5): Value $A8000000 is not a Pointer! Please contakt [email protected]

ERROR: (ENotAPointer) AdvanceMapError(5): Value $FF08E3D5 is not a Pointer! Please contakt [email protected]

i have been used the newest version of advanced map (1,95) i think.
pokemon gba game: leaf green
i have trying to learn how it works.
i made warp to another warp on the same map. i have typed all the numbers right. but when i hit 'goto' of one of the warps it works. it warped me to the other warp. but i can't save the warp or any events. i can't save it and start on another map.

I have a question regarding the initial start-up of an Emerald ROM. Once you're done choosing your gender in the intro screen with the Poke-professor (Which would be nice if anyone can help me locate it), how do you script the first warp from that la-la land into the actual game? I cannot find the scripting for that and when I study the original scripts from the back of the trunk on Emerald, I just come up confused with the sorcery they have used. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Also, how can you edit scripts found in Emerald with XSE and save it so that the script you drafted is the one actually used instead of the old one? And example is changing the Pokemon Center signs to say something else. How would you move into doing that throught Advance Map (As I cannot open the ROM archives through XSE alone).

Thanks for the help in advance ;)
