[Mapping] In depth Advance Map tutorial

Before you attempt to answer it, understand that in Advance Map, I have all the map banks correct on the warps. Even when I hit "Goto", the warp works.

Now, when I play it in the game, and I walk into the door, it takes me to another map, except I cannot move, I'm invisible, and I believe I'm out of bounds. I changed the map height and width, and checked if I had a warp out of bounds. I did not.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Note: This is a tuff question to answer with only the given information.

First double check your warp. Make sure its unknown is set to 3
and that the map bank and header are correct. Then make sure the transfer number is the sam as the other maps warp.

This might be a problem with your rom. This generally happens when you change a map size, and AM overwites part of another
map. Before you do anything else to your rom I suggest you save your map files somewhere and make a back up.



P.S. Som times when you make a warp weird things can happen, such as showing up in the middle of the course.

Respond if this is succesful and if it's not ttry to give me more details

And how would I go about setting the warp behavior? I'm having a lot of difficulties with this and I'm really frustrated.

From what you've siad I'm assuming that you want a warp to work on a door or cave exit. The problem just may be that the warps unknown has to be set to 3

If the above doesn't work,
Can you sort of describe the issue your having more carefully.

You assume correctly. I have set both warps in my cave to unknown 3 and yet I still cannot exit when I enter the cave. Again, I can enter the cave perfectly fine but once inside I cannot go back out on either side. If you have any idea as to why, please let me know.

First make sure the warp is on the tile in front of the exit,

Secondly make that tile is the first cave floor tile you see.
It be should after a black block in the cave tile area of the tileset.

If all else fails, open the tile with the warp on it and set its behavior byte to 08 00

I'm happy that your trying to help but it still won't work. My warp is on the tile in front of the exit, and the tile is the first cave floor tile in the tileset. Since all else really has failed, can you tell me a little bit more on how to edit the behavior byte of the warp? In my version of advance map (I think its the latest one) when a warp is selected I cannot open it in my script editor (XSE).

Also, one extra detail I noticed, when I enter the cave I am facing down. I think that is a little weird. If you want me to upload pictures of the maps I want to connect, let me know.

EDIT: I figured out how to set the behavior byte and it is at 08 00, so I guess that's not the problem
EDIT 2: Lol. I was messing around with the behavior bytes and decided to try 61 00, which is "use warp" and that worked perfectly. haha

Did you resize the map?
That might be wrong.

[Konekodemon]

Whenever I make a new map the title set I use with it becomes all messed up and distorted, where I can't use it.

Just set a person's sprite to a rock (no 96 I think) and then you should be able to put the script as $1BE00C and it will work.

[Konekodemon]

Does anyone know what I should do about my problem?

[PirateSam]

Ok im using advanced map and XSE i want to change what professor oak is saying for my intro. I open up the Script Editor and chnage his Speech and nothing else. I click Save but when i close it and go to open script again its the orginal! Please Help me!

This is a great tut,because it teaches me how to connect the maps...(Well,I mean connect them right)
By the way,how to create a new city name?I don't want to replace the old ones...

ASM unfortunately. I think A-map used to have this function but it kept on freezing the maps with the new map names.

[jjboy22]

thank you so much i think i figured it out now

Where do you set the "Starting position" of the trainer?
By starting position I mean where the game dumps you after the Oak speech.
