I'm pretty sure that's defined in the Pokémon's stats, so you can't edit that via AMap, I think. Try using YAPE. Also, I think it's the same for how rare the Pokémon are.

Check out the new section:

Map scripts

Just started!

That's a simple problem in warping. Can you show us the map bank, number, and the warp number of the map you want to leave the garden to?

hey sweet tutorial this helped alot

[swampert249]

I do not get it! How do u insert d/p map tiles?

[MegaMaccer]

Great Tutorial, this'll help new comers alot. keep it up!

[shazaam33]

Thanks link12552 for this awsome tutorial. This one is the first out of a lot that is easy to understand.☺

[TheNerdyPotato]

is there any easy way to get a pokemon from the Prof Oak pokeballs without using the event, like I want to just walk up and press it, see the pokemon and get it.
Also im a newb at this

Warps only work for me if they're in front staircases or on doors. They won't work for me when I try connecting forest levels. Is there a restriction on warp events that will only allow them to work on certain tiles?

Edited tilesets? Sections 3-4

1. Click the puzzle piece.
2. Go to Picture > Save tileset1 and Save tileset2
3. Save them somewhere you can remember
4. Open them in paint
5. They should be in the palette color that was open, so set it accordingly
6. Look for a black block on the bottom
7. Draw your new tile
8. Make sure that the colors you use are the same as other ones in the image

[Can't include the picture in the quote because I haven't made 15+ posts D=]

4) Insert those tiles


1. Click the puzzle piece.
2. Go to Picture > Load tileset1 and Load tileset2
3. Select the image files
4. Click save

Also, when I went back, I think I found the answer to my question in section 6. Please disregard my n00b-ness

[GuyNamedSean]

Is there a way to edit what the region map looks like? Or maybe just the town map?

[HentaiHentai]

I liked this new most of it, however it would be cool if you could give greater examples of map scripts. Oh, btw ty for the tiles behaviour part that is something I hadnt noticed yet.

Great Tutorial... Thumbs up!

I need a little help on the inserting new map.

Using Ruby version... I've recreate a map 24,14 and resize it to Width [ 35 ] and Height [ 100 ].



Once everything is done, I've always test out everything from the beginning and I encounter this major bug.



Any tips or idea on how to fix this, or avoid it?

[V]

That's one of the many reasons why I don't play around with scripts
I've tried reading tutorials about scripting various things, but once I start reading all of the random gibberish and all of those numbers... well, everything just goes in one eye and out the other.

First can you tell me which scripting language you are using?

(ie: XSE, PKSV, Pokescript)

This is not neccisarily a mapping error, but a scripting eror.

This happens when you put any new scripts in without using a new pionter for texts,

Solutions:

• Open advance map save the map and add it to a fresh rom
• Open all the scripts from the rom and look for problems in text/messages
• Use advance map and correct the error.

To aviod the problem in the futture, use free space finder(s) to look for offsets to use.

"This happens when you put any new scripts in without using a new pionter for texts"

Fyi, I did not put any new script. All I adds was a couple of WARP. Eitherway, even I redo it again from a backup rom, the problem starts when I resize the map larger then it's original size. Which now, give you a hint that map resizing will not be 100% safe.

Question:
1. How do OPEN ALL SCRIPT from the ROM? Are you mean to say in the map itself or the whole entire rom? There's no program so far which I seen has that capability. Will you please elaborate.


2. The error which I have is coming from the Starting Introductions, and AMAP does not go that far. AMap only edit maps. How do I correct the error using AMap?


3. I've using #dynamic 0x800000 method for my scripting so FSF is quite useless for me. Even so, how do you actually calculate how much space you wanted for the new MAP?

In the post I meant to say Advance Text sorry for the typo

Secondly when your scripting in XSE the dynamic tells it where to start the scripts offset. FSF finds an unused offset so that when you're compilling it doesn't erase or even mess up your script.

Also AMAP 1.90 & 1.91 have a map ressising error. For best results use 1.92.

IMPORTANT: when inserting a new map or any thing in AMAP, caution yourself from ussing the first offset you see.
The first sometimes leads to errors in the rom.

________________________________________________

Notice: I do most of my scripting in pokescript, I am still familiar with using XSE, but it's just that I use more for ediiting or revising my scripts.

If you have any more questions about this error PM me.

1st make sure that your picking the right option:

You have to be under "Picture"

MSPaint should be able to open the image file.

P.S. Isn't this in my tutorial?

[Chibi Robo]

Ohhhhh thanks thats going to help a lot more!

Is it possible to add a flying position to a place that doesn't normally have one?

[ZX_Fear]

I have a problem. I can't Prof. Oak to follow me. He can't go to the lab properly. I also go to some place automatically and I appear inside the lab! Anyway on how to fix this?
