[Link2999]

OK, than I was at fault in this Point. (Position of the Warp)

thx for the images, no i know what is the failure.
as i try to say in my Message bevore:
The Blocks where you see the arrow are a special block (other Block number) this Block you have to use under the Warp. and there where how the Arrow appear you have override with a normal block.

See attached image, it show which block you have to use where.


@liuyanghejerry: No this is new for me.
How do you insert the Map? and on witch Position? -> Bank and Map Number?

greetz LU-HO

Works perfectly now :) Thanks for the explanation, and the screenshot also helped ^_^

I really hate posting these questions here, but I keep running into problems. After beating the Pokemon league, Birch's lab in Emerald goes back to it's pre-edited form, not sure if it's a script or a new map that I need to edit. strange thing is the added events I put in (boulders) stayed, it's just all the original movement positions and tiles came back. I have a screenshot to explain.

That's just a level script with "setmaptile".

 

[liuyanghejerry]

Open File->Map...->Insert map:
Create New space,bank 0,Number of reversed map 1,
Create map and insert.
Then it happens.

I make a IPS for this problem,patch it onto a original EM and you can see how it happens.

And also,I upload a save file of VBA for it.It's a JP ROM save file,but from it,you can see the problem.
My friend report this BUG to me,he said even a US ROM save file also have the same result(Ya,all black problem).

Maybe the way I insert map is wrong,if it is,don't be angry^^

Uncheck "Automatically look for offsets" and repoint all offsets.

 

[Link2999]

That's just a level script with "setmaptile".

I'm assuming I can fix it from the map's header, but you wanna give me steps just in case I screw up?

Header => Level Script
Open the first (0).



'---------------
#org 0x1F9CF7
setmapfooter 0x1B0
spritebehave 0x3 0x3
movesprite2 0x3 0x5 0xA
end

'---------------
#org 0x1F9CF3
setmapfooter 0x1B0
end




Delete "setmapfooter" and compile.

And which will get the same result.

Yay it worked! Thanks a load :)
By the way, do you know the script to start with the National Dex? If you don't it's fine, but just thought I'd check. (Also would need to know in which bank and whatnot it goes)

 

[12345]

Do you notice that insert a new map in EM will make the Battle Pyramid map in Battle Frontier dead.When you step in,it's totally dark and you'll never out with endless walking...no wild pkmn,no trainer...

Yes, I think hero is warped to 26.26 but this is a special map, this map will link to many maps in bank 25. But when you insert new tile, the map connection is corrupted, and no map connect to map 26.26. If you change border block you can see it.
I tried to changed hex data of map header, footer... same as the original version, but it's not work.

It's not a script, but a only special.
For Emerald (F), the special is 0x1F3, and it active the national dex.

I have no idea for Emerald (U), sorry.
But you can try this special :)

And which will get the same result.

Try create new bank but in another number.

That's the right special, but I can't find the script where it fits into. I've been looking through all the Birch actions in mapbank 1.4 and can't find anything. I'm looking for where "Oh, hi" and all I can find really is the Pokenav (register) event for him. You wanna give me the bit to add it in?

Thought it could have been in here:

'---------------
#org 0x1FA2D2
msgbox 0x82B5F52 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"PROF. BIRCH: Oh, [player]\v\h05!\n..."
closeonkeypress
pause 0x1E
fanfare 0x1CC
msgbox 0x82B603A MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Registered PROF. BIRCH\nin the POK..."
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
pause 0x1E
setflag 0x119
setvar 0x40DA 0x2
release
end

'---------------

You can activate the national dex in an separate script ("S" Event case).
It's very simple if you use setvars.

Example :

'---------------
#org 0xOffset
special 0x1F3
subvar 0xID 0xValue
setvar 0xID 0xValue
end

I was looking through a scripting tut. and it seems that I need to know the event where the pokedex is given? Not sure where this is as I was saying earlier. I'm very new to scripting (first time trying actually) so ya. It may just be better if I sent you the ipa and you tried it out, but I understand if you don't really want to. Otherwise I would need to know how to find the values of whatever, the complete script (with where to edit) and where to place the script so that the Pokedex auto updates when Birch gives it to you.

Don't worry.
If you activate the script


'---------------
#org 0xOffset
special 0x1F3
subvar 0xID 0xValue
setvar 0xID 0xValue
end


Before the Birch script, it's okay, the DEX is automaticly updated when your get.

Hi,LU-HO~

Do you notice that insert a new map in EM will make the Battle Pyramid map in Battle Frontier dead.When you step in,it's totally dark and you'll never out with endless walking...no wild pkmn,no trainer...

Hello Together

I found the problem...
Every time when you insert a new Map, AdvanceMap have to Repoint part of the MapBankHeader.
And also the List named "AnbindungsListe" this is the List which is used by some Script commands to change the Map.

The Position of the AnbindungsListe is in each version (expect Emerald) only written at one Offset in the Rom, so AdvanceMap only change one Pointer.

But in Emerald the AnbindungsListe is linked from 2 Offsets in the Rom, and the second one is not changed by AdvanceMap...

=> Guide to fix the Problem: (offsets for Emerald Eng 1.0)
- After Insert a new Map
- open Hexeditor and goto: $0849CC
- copy 4 Bytes (Pointer) from there
- goto: $1AA17C
- insert the copied 4 Bytes (Pointer) to here
- save the Game

now the Battle Pyramid work.

Offsets for other Roms:

If you need a other one, contact me. (PM /ICQ)

[POKEMON EMERBPEF]
AnbindungsListe=$0849DC

AdvanceMap insert 10 new Empty entries, each time it Repoint this list, so you have to make the fix (see Guide) each time after inserting 10 Maps... (or on time after last inserted Map.)
(If you have deactivated Automatic Repoint, the Title of Repoint Window is "Re-locate list of connections" if AdvanceMap Repoint this list.)

Finally, it can be fixed. Awesome, Lu-ho.
I hope the next version will be released soon. Good luck and Happy New Year :)

 

[558122_DG]

i don't know whether this was asked but how do you delete a map that u accedentally inserted? Can it be done?

 

[LU-HO]

No, Maps can not be deleted, becaus this would "damage" the reading system.
you can only set the size of an map to 1x1 or overwrite it with a new map.
