Ok...

Deep breath

There are two sections with mulitiple steps



Easy Way

1. Open the map you wish to deleate
2. Go to header
3. Set width =1 hieght =1
4. Make the only color on the map
5. Black
6. Save
7. Finnish or Continue...

Caution:

To do the next part the map you wish to deleate has to be the last number in the header

Ex:


In this one 4.3, 3 is the last number so this will work.

• 1. Goto to insert map agian...
  2. Click map bank header
  3. Goto the same bank as the map is in
  4. In the textbox type "-1"
  5. Scroll dow click accept changes
  6. 
  7. Replace the map with itself
  8. A bunch of errors will show up ignore them All
  9. Then it should say map replaced, followed by an error
  10. Go to the same bank
  11. The map should have been deleated

Errors:

Spoiler:

Notice: If this is one of the origonal maps when you try to open it for the first time just ignore the error.

Sorry if this part is super compilicated..,

Thank you so much! I was such a n00b at using this as I had a very faint idea about Movement Permissions. This DOES help!

Yes, but be carefull!

Back up your rom first!


I can not stress the importance of this enough!

v...Answer...v

Spoiler:

I'm not 100% sure why this is happening

Probably just loading to many maps, don't worry!

Try this:

1. Open the tile editor click on all the tiles that shouldn't be there click save (Note: if this doesn't work at first try it on a different map with the same tilesets

Problem:

• 
• solution pt.1
• solution pt.2
• Fixed!

If your still haveing problems send me the rom in a private message and I'll try to fix it!

Spoiler:

To back up roms means to just copy the rom and paste it somewhere special you can remember!

P.S.

What do you mean how do you open them?

Using advance map...:\

Spoiler:

OMG misread question rewriting answer! Sorry


Actual answer: I think you have to use YAPE, I'm not 100% sure... sorry.

The "odds" at the top repressent the frequency you'll see any pokemon.

What you can do though is put the same pokemon in more than once. This will increase the chance of seeing this pokemon

Example:

See how charmander is on here 3 times and bulbasaur only once.
This gives you a 3/4 chance of seeing charmander
And gives you a 1/4 chance of bulbasuar

Hope this helps!

i mean because there is a create backup button but i dont know how to open it?? but its ok i like your way lol :D

[link12552]

If it works, the first time you open the rom it creates a copy somewhere on your computer.

I think it's the desktop!

Glad I could help!!

[chrisdurer]

i Figured out what the "Create Backup" botton does. it creates a .bak(aka backup) file of your rom. and i figured out how to open it :D
