I have the same tilemap being used for two of my world maps. For some reason, on the fourth world map (which is #3 in the programming), nine tiles near the bottom-right corner keep getting replaced with tile #3, while on the other, it works just fine.

Can anyone help?
Yet another repost. Can anyone help?

It sounds like you might be forgetting to repoint the tilemap data. Use NTME (*sigh* why are people still using Cyclone?) theres a video in the thread that shows you how to edit title screens that should help.

I meant I used the guide that was included with Cyclone, not Cyclone itself. Although, NTME is just about the same, only it's a bit easier to use. Also, neither program allows for selecting multiple tiles, so they're just about even on the playing field for me anyway.

Also, which thread are you referring to that has the video?

Argh. I'll figure it out... someday... Someday..

I've scrounged around for anything on this, but haven't had much luck. I followed haefele's tutorial on inserting the world map, and it worked like a charm. Except for two things...
MapError.png

The colors of the town squares are wrong, and the little location buttons from the original FireRed are still there.
Does anybody know the RGB values of the correct shades of grey to use for the towns to where they will use the right colors in game?
Does anybody know why those old pieces are still showing up on the map?
When putting in the town squares, they must be in Pal 1, not Pal 0. Choose Pal 1 when mapping the squares.

Try repointing the data of both tilemaps.


What do you mean its corrupt? You'll need to download the .NET framework to get it to work.


1) Yes, theres a few tutorials around that tell you how to do it.
2) Yes, but you'll probably only be able to edit the graphics and not the actual layout.
3) XSE and pksvui allow you to do this.
i have installed all the files nessecary to fun yape (.net 2.0, the vb6 runtime files) and it still doesnt work... i get an 0xc000007b error. i dont know why...

Need help urgently!

I've tried putting a Munchlax Platinum Sprite into a Fire Red ROM. It worked, but it used the Palette of the Pokemon I replaced. When I put the Palette back to normal, and click 'Write to ROM', it says: "Compressed size is: 2CC. Which is too big. Aborting."

How do I solve this?

How do I solve this?

Step one - download HackMew's Free Space Finder
Step two - open up the Calculator application from your start menu
Step three - Click the little circle in the top left that says 'hex' next to it.
Step four - enter 2CC in your calculator
Step five - click the little circle up top with 'dec' next to it
Step six - open up Free Space Finder and search an amount of bytes equal to the number your calculator just gave you
Step seven - In unLZ try to write your picture to the ROM and when the box pops up with the offsets enter the offset FSF gave you into the box labeled 'image offset'
Step eight - make sure you have the boxes 'export image' and 'automatically fix pointers' checked, then write it to the ROM
Step nine - open it up in your VBA and test it
Step ten - enjoy your newly inserted pokepic

Thanks for the suggestion, but I actually found out that I could just import the file again, then it worked. I must've made a mistake earlier. Sorry for your trouble.

I have two questions:

1) I replaced the Aerodactyl Sprite with a Munchlax Sprite. In game the Munchlax is floating and has a shadow underneath it. How do I fix this?

2) This may sound quite noobish, but after I edit a Script, then compile, when I look back at it, it is the same as before I edited it. How do I fix it?

Tried Wichu's Tool in the Toolbox for No. 1?

I've downloaded it now in a matter of fact. Know anything about the Script?

Sorry, I'm not a scripter, and it has been a while since I touched XSE... Are you sure you compiled it to the right offset? And used that same offset in Advance Map? Normally, i put scripts in Free Space and Compile them, that normally works...
