Hey guys, I need your help.

I followed all the steps of the tutorial, but when I finish, there are a blue line should not be there. Since I can remove, and not the RAW. I have reviewed hundreds of times with NTME.

Check it:
The blue line is at the bottom of both maps.

Can you help me?

Note: Do not steal the WorldMap, are my hack. Hoenn is the modification of "The Corpse Devils" credits to him.
open your .raw file in hex editor then add 16 bytes in the end.
the total bytes should be 1216 not 1200.

Question! I tried hacking the other FR/LG maps (The island ones) and they all replaced the first map. How do you hack the other ones?

In step 3 you have a new map to insert. Did you make that from scratch in paint or is there a program that can help with this?

I am having a problem, can somebody please explain what i did wrong when i followed the tutorial, this is what i ended up with.
View attachment 54482

It looks like you replaced the tilemap with the raw, and the raw with the tilemap, or your raw isn't the right format (8bpp or 4bpp)

one of the confusing tutorials i ever saw O.O

You should see Mastermind_X's site's tutorials. Now that's confusing. This ain't nothing. :)

Read through the thread. :(

If any of you didn't already know how, you can change the the little icon that shows where you are (the players head, i can't really put it into a technical term). If you've changed the sprite of the hero, it will still appear on the map as the original hero's head. you can change this on fire red by going into UNLZ-GBA and going to "187" for the male hero and "188" for the female hero. Just incase.

I AM A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BAKA!

I do blame OP a bit on this because OP is not clear on the final step what to do.

On the final step OP says to click "Export Palette". I foolishly assumed that meant to click NOTHING BUT Export Palette.
If OP would be so kind as to edit the OP so it says. "Be sure to click all four options, Explore Image, Auto Abort, Fix Pointers and Export Palette."

When I clicked all four clicks it worked!
Funny how one misleading sentence can break an entire tutorial eh?

Now I need some help again, when I import my tilemap the colors are all messed up!
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I exported a snapshot of the Kanto World Map from VBA and use those colors in the creation of my tileset and tilemap. Every time I import the tilemap into my ROM with UNLZGBA the colors are all messed up! Please help.
