[Mapping] In depth Advance Map tutorial

[ShinyBlaziken]

Hi,
I've got a problem

I made a map but the Randblock is not black.
But I wanted to have a Black Randblock

I don't know why there is such a randblock

[GM420]

great guide, thank for showing us how to create people, i was really lost on that

[Powerflare]

Thanks!!! I really needed this! I had already learned this stuff by practice, but you really helped me with the Person ID. My hack would be lost without this! Thank you!

I'm working on a rom hack but I can't figure out how to make a warp to my cave that I've made. I made the entrance and the warp square, but I don't know how to make it warp inside the cave. Can someone help me out? It would be a HUGE help.

What you probably haven't done is changed where the warp leads to. what you need to do is:
1. Highlight events, click on the warp
2. on the right, there is a box next to the text 'map bank', enter the first number next to your caves name (eg. Vermillion City is 3.5, the 3 is the map bank.)
3. Below, there is a box nect to the word 'Map', this is the second number next to your caves name (eg. Vermillion City is 3.5, the 5 is the Map)
4. The 'to warp no.' above refers to the warp you wish to connect to. To find out what this is, go to your cave and highlight your exit, at the top it will say 'No.', the number in the box next to this is the number you must enter in the 'to warp no.' in your entrance warp.
5. Do the same thing with the other warp, only finding the map and bank of the entrance location

hope that helped.


Now, my problem is that, when i changed the pokemon centre/mart tileset with paint, when i loaded it it turned into blank green. i tried it with the tree tiles and it done the same. Please tell me what caused it to happen and how i can fix it. In case my description wasn't clear, an image of what happened is below.

EDIT: I have solved the problem myself, it was related to the Pallete

This tutorial helped me alot!!!

[An00bis]

Embarassingly stupid question incoming...

I've finished creating my map in AdvanceMap1.92, but when I click the Wild Pokemon tab, I get ""no wild pokemon data was found for this map". I've searched the editor high and low, and can't seem to find a way to enable wild pokemon D:

Hey Link12552! You forgot the Connection Manager tutorial. It is very important.
Please add the Connection Manager, I was confused with the offset in Connection Manager.

[Talesplayer]

thanks for the tutorial. i was getting nowhere with the warps until i saw this.

I'm having a problem with warps, you said when you click to increase the number of warps by one it should show up in the top left corner of the map, but I'm not getting anything, any ideas?

Also I can't seem to allow Pokemon to be wild events in the cave I created? This is what I see:

[Pokemaniac11]

I can't get my room to house warp to work .. after i go down the stairs i enter a black room but the music is still playing.. can you help me?

[dragonface]

nice tutoril i still dont understand how to make a trainer disapeer after u fight him.

[ville!]

i have a question, when i insert a map over other map, the name in the map is pallet town, and if i change the name of the insert map, the name of pallet town map chage too, how can i do that?

[peter5566]

I'm having a little problem with the trainer thing; i have created the trainer and did everything u said in the tutorial.. but, when i went on and tested it.. the trainer talked to me and the game froze.... do i need to do anything else?(like edit what pokemons he has or?) if so, how?
Thanks,

[Seriaza]

Sorry to sound a bit noobish, but whenever I try to open AM a long message comes up saying something like something doesn't exist and I have to place some ini files in a directory file or something like that. Plz help!!

[sceptile127]

how about the map connections???

[HackinJohn]

I have a quick question:

I added a new map to my Pallet Town bank, but whenever I try to go to the new house map in-game, the player can't get through. The rom just turns black and nothing happens so you have to turn off the game and turn it back on.

Any way of fixing this?

Have you clicked to the button under the amount of warp points which says "Change Events"? Then are you sure if you have on or off the sprite showing, you must be not able to see the sprites, in order to place-move or anything else the signposts and warps.

About the Pokemon to be in the wild, I see that you're using an old AM, why won't you try with a newer one and see if it does work?

This is probably because your warp point is pointing in the wrong place, check again the bank-map or if the pointed map has anything that would cause such error. You could try by re-creating the warp point.

When you do replace a MAP's name, I believe that Advance Map automatically finds another name in the ROM and replaces it. (basically address your new name to an already used address, causing all the maps that point at that address as their name to have the same - new name you have set)

Are you sure that you have inserted it in the right way? Also, are you sure that the eventual warp point is pointing at the right bank - map?

Heres an example of the code your said above, in the ways I use to script.

'-----------------------
#org @main
Lock
FacePlayer
Release
applymovement 0x04 @move ' go down
applymovement 0x1B @move2 ' look left
Lock
Faceplayer
msgbox @msg "There are somtimes secret areas"
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org @msg
= There are somtimes secret areas[.]\nhidden in the trees.

Also are you sure that your AM is pointing at the correct event address?

You just forgot to use the "release" command after lock.

Okay, I figured out what I was doing. But now I have one last question.

I renamed Pallet Town "Cobalt Cove," but now every time I try to insert a new town/cave/room, it automatically becomes "COBALT COVE (xx.x)," no matter which map bank I put it under. And if I try to change it from Cobalt Cove, it changes the original one that I want to be named Cobalt Cove.

Any ideas?

I'm pretty sure that I'm creating & inserting the right way, maybe I'm just doing one little thing wrong? Let me know.

Please check the post before this one, I have answered the question. Basically AM replaces the name, and the game uses a certain number of Addresses to point into the map names. So if you change Pallet Town, all the maps that point at the address with that name, will change their name too, because the address is pointing at "Pallet Town" that you have changed. So you have always to use other zones names, unless you know how to add new addresses for the map name list.

[HackinJohn]

EDIT: I figured out my problem.

[The Gambling Gallade]

Hmmm. I've had this question for almost a month. It has never been answered.

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?
