Alright for the ten billionth time:
Last time I had AMap 1.95, which I had little problem handling except for map connections. These were fixed, I think, by downgrading to 1.92 (which corrupts the ROM so I can't test map connections), but created a bunch more critical problems for me, such as creating new maps with custom names.
I'm still trying to give Route 16 a custom name. Under 1.95, this required a roundabout method, but after a bit of trial and error I figured out the problem and got it straightened out. However, it required a feature evidently exclusive to 1.95 which allowed you to edit the map header name outside of the ROM (in the "map files" section), and then insert it, which gave me no problem. Under 1.92, creating a new map creates it outside of the ROM, but I have to insert it - without a custom header name - so it loads as "Pallet Town" and I can't do anything to have it unique.
Can someone who knows what they're doing help me here?
(Update: Forgot my special method, and now being presented with an "access violation" error via what I thought it was.)
