Might be blind or something, but I can't find any tutorials. I looked at your tool factory (well made by the way =P) and found the download link, but there are no links to APE tutorials. Tried 2 ways to find tutorials, both failed.

I always found this tutorial helpful, well at least for the offsets and stuff:

It varies with the tiles that you put the warps because if you check with block editor, you'll see that the tiles have "Behavior Bytes."

Now, I have a question. Every time I try to insert a new tileset, this happens:

Can anyone explain where the hell I'm going wrong?! I change the palettes and everything and it's really frustrating because no one else seems to have this godforsaken problem!

Need help with a black screen

Ok so this is what happens, i'm working on my own rom, and i got the starting map to work and i got the 2 map to work also, but now i changed some warps and stuff and when i go to the warp that goes from the first map to the second the games just stays black...

Anyone got an ideia how to fix this ?

I think you have to double-check where each warp goes to. You know, Map Bank, map etc.

A quick question, where can I get the full DP tileset?

Micro SD said:

Make sure that the teal color is the first color in the pallete. The first color of any pallete will always be the transparent color. I think you can swap the colors using irfanview.

Yeah, I did that by following the Insert Pokemon tut to fix the sprite originally.

0m3GA ARS3NAL said:

infranview is kinda awkward when it comes to pallet swapping... (Moving colors in the color index...)
GIMP will let you drag/drop the colors to there correct positions, so long as the image is already indexed... otherwise... don't do it, lol....

Uh huh, I totally know what you mean... And it was indexed and working fine until I added the other frames... I can't seem to figure out what the heck is going wrong though! Last night I opted to just scrap the whoe file so I could start from scratch with the virgin sprite. I'm going to try and force my sprite to work with the original game's palette, though I shudder to do so because I have a feeling it will look gawd aweful...

Is there a program that could help me change the world map that can be viewed on the fly map in emerald? I also wanted to know if you can change where people fly to using advance map, is there a way to make new fly scripts on maps or what?

[Hi, i made a new pokemon league with harder battles in it (for FR), i copied all the maps (including the route upto it) and i am going to hide the entrance to it somewhere. But i don't want anybody to be able to get into it until they have beaten the pokemon league and after they go into it and beat it or fail i don't want them to be able to go into it again until they do the Real Pokemon League again. I know this can be done with a warp script that will only warp into it if the flag used at the first battle is not there, but how can i get all of the flags to clear after i complete the pokemon league?

PS does a warp script (script tile not warp tile) work? and does it have to be at a door, because i tried to make a person when you talekd to them warp you for another thing but the screen went black and froze.

I'm attempting to insert a custom title screen into my Emerald hack, but have come across a problem which I don't understand.

I've used NTME to create the tilemap, imported both the title screen tileset and tilemap into unLZ.GBA which all goes smoothly but then when I run the rom it comes up like this:



When it is meant to look like this:



Anyone know what's gone wrong?

You have to remove the smoke on the title screen that is usually there, and try using Cyclone, NTME works, but sometimes bugs out...

I replaced the smoke with a blank PNG and it just came out with this. :/



Could you give me a link to cyclone so I can give that a shot?

Try changing the Gamefreak logo to have the right background, and make sure you removed Rayquaza COMPLETELY. (Including his glowing Yellow lines...)
Also, I don't have a link to it... you'll have to do some searching.

No. It hasn't been properly ripped, due to the 3-dimensional rendering features of the game.
Just look through the internet, Google is your friend ;)

There is a cheat code that automatically disables the DS's 3D rendering, and makes a flat image out of anything you are seeing... perfect for ripping tiles...
You gotta google for yourself though...

Go to VBA, File, then Screen Capture. Or open A-Map and press Print Screen, paste onto paint and save.
