PoryMap | Map Editor for the Disassembly and Decompilation Projects

Lunos · Apr 4, 2018

-Small Introduction-
PoryMap is the first and only usable map editor that is compatible with the disassembly and decompilation projects of the GBA Pokémon Games, Pokeruby and Pokeemerald.

Spoiler:

-Links-
Pre-Compiled Build: https://github.com/huderlem/porymap/releases
Source Code: https://github.com/huderlem/porymap

There are pre-compiled builds for Windows and MacOS. Linux users are expected to compile the source code by themselves.

-Credits-
Padz created PoryMap and ShantyTown/Yenatch is the one who's currently developing it.
All the credits are absolutely theirs.

And that's it.

Nice. I didn't realize Advanced map wasn't compatible with the github projects. I like a lot of your tutorials and applications. Keep 'em coming!

I also noticed platinum is on github. Do you know how functional it is? I'd like to rewrite the EXP/Level up formula for that game, which I saw was easily doable.

PokePlat isn't related to Pret and the rest of Disassembly or Disassembly and Decompilation Projects. This is what Jim told me some days ago when I asked him about it:

I wanted to bump this so easily forgotten thread to tell y'all that I just compiled the latest commit, so yeah, new build.
It's in the main post.

I tried playing around with it the last hour or so but the maps aren't loading. It has to be an error or misunderstanding on my part. I have Pretmap open, but when I select pokeruby-master, nothing happens and nothing loads. I even go into the file structure and select data > maps but still nothing.

Maybe you're trying to open the Raw Directory, which would be a mistake.
You have to compile a ROM with Pokeruby first, and then load Pokeruby's folder with PretMap.

ON: Surprising that I'm here, I know. I mean, I updated this just like 2 days ago.
But you know, guys? This'll be worth it.
I updated the build in the main post again, because PretMap is now compatible with Pokeemerald!
All right, that's pretty much it. Enjoy. Bye.

Latest commit (52679eb) compiled. The new download is in the main post, enjoy.
You can check the PRs Section of the PretMap Repository to get an idea of the latest changes and improvements.

Here's the latest version of pretmap, this time it comes from ShantyTown himself.

Changelog:
-Add ability to right-click+Drag to copy chunks of tiles directly from the map
-Use palette 12 when displaying secondary tileset metatiles
-Fix bug where undo/redo didn't update the collision attributes view

You think you could update the first post Lunos?

Right now it says:

Right now, it is only compatible with Pokeruby but sooner than later it'll also be compatible with Pokeemerald too, I'm sure.

And we know that it is no longer the case. :D

I take it there isn't a way to edit blocks in this? (like with A-Map).

if there isn't, how would one do that?

If by "blocks" you're talking about the Border Blocks then yes, you can change them using PretMap.

lilbluedemon · Jul 17, 2018

No, I mean how to actually change how these tiles look?

In Advance-Map there's an editor to do so.
You pick some tiles, and assemble them into a block.
Blocks are then used to build the maps.

Sorry, I don't know why I immediately thought about the Block Borders, hahaha.
It looks like PretMap doesn't have a Block Editor yet. Maybe you could suggest it on the GitHub Repo's "Issues" Section and it'll get implemented :)

ON: New build, it comes from ShantyTown again.

Just like before, you can check the PRs Section in PretMap's GitHub Repo to see the latest changes or additions.

Lunos · Sep 17, 2018

Hi. PretMap has been rebranded as PoryMap after some internal issues among Pret.

This is the latest build: http://www.mediafire.com/file/z1nefimr7ysr5q9/porymap-windows-1.0.6.zip/file
And this is its GitHub Repo: https://github.com/huderlem/porymap
Also, it will only work with the latest repository of Pokeruby and Pokeemerald due to some tileset related changes.

User_FireRed · Sep 20, 2018

Could someone please post a link to a build with these fixes:
https://github.com/huderlem/porymap/pull/39

I don't have the bandwidth to download Qt

Lunos · Oct 26, 2018

Hi everyone. PoryMap v1.0 was released about an hour ago or so.
You can find the download right here.
Also, please remember to report any bugs you can find here.

New release came out just before new year!

It's really awesome that we've got a map editor now that works just like a development environment!

Now that we've got PoryMap, PretMap and other tools that run with disassembly projects on GBA and GBC, it's only a matter of time before Pokémon B/W/B2/W2 (and the Gen IV games too) become so much more documented that disassembly projects will proceed on with the DS titles.

For Nintendo DS and 3DS, it'll be more longer, take more time, but more organised, since the ROMs can be unpacked, and most files can be reconverted back into their source format (eg. SSEQ into .midi) and so fourth. So for DS games, it won't be harder, it'll just be more time consuming, due to the amount of files needed to disassemble. And when a map editing tool for those games gets made, it's likely to work with both disassembled and compiled binaries, due to the ROMs being in a file system-like structure.

It's really great how far we've all come to this, and I'm really looking forward to more disassembly projects and map editors like this one being made, it makes ROM Hacking development a whole lot easier. Best of luck! I'll also do everything I can to document as many findings as possible in newer games.

Actualy Pretmap is now Porymap due to change in ownership.

Lunos · Feb 4, 2019

v1.2.0 was released just now and it's a mandatory update, as the data of the maps in Pokeruby/Pokeemerald are now represented as .JSON files.

Also, don't forget that you can always find the latest download in the Releases section of PoryMap's Repository, linked in the main post :)
