Try in IrfanView Image > Decrease Color Depth > 16 colors. IrfanView tries to keep the new image as true to the original as possible. After this, you can save it as a .bmp file.

Well, from my experiences, I think you've inserted some tiles into a secondary tileset. Then you used the tiles from the secondary tileset in the first block. You then used these blocks to map in maps that don't use the same secondary tileset. I'm not sure if I was very clear, it's just a theory anyway.

EDIT: Oh and you can't do that. Unless, of course, obviously, evidently, for sure, you use that secondary tileset for the maps as well :)

Problem with that is, I havn't even inserted tiles yet. I've changed nothing in the game other than scripts and maps. :S

Import 16- Color PNG

Orinjmate said:

How do I save an image as a 16-bit bmp without it completely messing up (going black and white and losing about 90% of the image)? I have tried indexing a png version of it on infanview and then saving it as a bmp file but then I can't import it on NSE because apparently it isn't a 16-bit bmp file.

Download the Technical Preview of NSE.
In it you can import 16 color PNG's and BMP's.

Hope it works XD

I got some freezing problems after deleting some script boxes including some and the person box near the old man and in front of the gym whenever the box saying the city is supposed to appear. I asked for help before and said that I should try deleting the level script. I don't know what he meant, all he said was to get rid of the level script because it might be causing a header script conflict. If needed I can send a link to the IPS Patch for my hack. http://www.pokecommunity.com/editpost.php?do=editpost&p=6224659

Are the movement permissions correct?

If you're not sure, check a pre-existing cave to see how it's set up. :3

Could you post a picture with the tile selected along with what part of the tileset is it?

Maybe its a connection issue? Did you make the right connections?

At a guess, you selected the wrong tile.

In caves, there are 2 identical fllor tiles - identical in every way bar 1. One tile has as it's block behaviour to use the warp, the other (the standard floor tile that is used everywhere bar in front of the entrance) doesn't.

Warps have nothing to do with map connections...

To delete a level script, go to A-Map, go to the map in which you want to delete the level script, go to Header and at the Map script part, press 'Remove' until all level scripts are removed. There you go, that map no longer has these level scripts in its bank.

I think this is an easy one, but oh well:

When doing an map in emerald, and you want to make grid lines so you can make the straight routes,
which is the best opion when using paint?
(The measure of the grids are less then the 8x8, so I'm kinda of stuck with this... :/ )

Also, how can you make grid lines when using GIMP?
(Please help me, It's been a whole day since i tried to figure out how to put this s*** on the rom! And i'm kind of in the same situation as yesterday... LOL)

Thank you for your answer ;)

PS: If you want, you can do my map... just talk to me... ;) lol.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of fanfares for Ruby and FireRed?

Click to expand...

Well, I see some fanfares that are listed in Advance Map, in Header under Map Options.

altariaking said:

That's mostly music, and the fanfares it does have just say a number, I don't know exactly what fanfare they are.

Click to expand...

If I'm correct the ID of the fanfare is on there also. Plus you could change the music to that fanfare and open VBA and check out how it sounds. XD

I'm having the most horrible time editing the hero/ine backsprites for Leaf Green.
I've looked up and read countless tutorials and guides but it's still confusing to me, since i'm new to this.
Not really understanding palette changes, everytime I edit the backsprite to colors I want, then test it in-game the colors are completely different that what I had put in TMA.
Basically, could someone explain in kind of a step-by-step dumbed down version to coloring the backsprites right?

When you change the colors in Tile Molester, you're not actually changing the palette in the ROM. All you're doing is changing the colors that Tile Molester, the program, is using to view the game's data.

Sadly, I don't own a Leaf Green ROM so I can't find the address of the palette for you. However, I can tell you how you might be able to find it. First, play through your game until you reach a point where the backsprite is visible (i.e., get into a battle). Then, click "Tools > Palette Viewer..." and hit the "Save OBJ..." button. Save the palette but be sure to save it as a "PaintShop Palette (.PAL)" or "Adobe Color Table (.ACT)" file. Next, open up Advanced Palette Editor (link) and load your ROM. Select "Load by searching" under "Palette Loading Options" and, in the "Actual Palette" area, click the "Import..." button (it should be the only clickable button). In the window that pops up, select the palette you saved from before (change the file type to ".pal" or ".act" depending on which format you saved the palette in). I'm not sure if this is the same for Leaf Green but the backsprite palette should be the first palette that shows up (if not, you can use the arrow buttons to sort through the palettes inside the file). Anyway, check the box labeled "Compressed Palette (LZ77)" and then hit "Search". The number in the box should change from '00000000' to something like '00E76EBC' (that's the address in Fire Red; it'll probably be something slightly different in Leaf Green). To change the palette in the ROM, hit the "Copy..." button (it's the palette icon in the "Actual Palette" area without any arrows on it), edit some of the colors down in the "Changed Palette" area, and then hit "Replace".

Note: there are actually two palettes that share the exact same colors (I'm guessing that there's one copy for each gender) so after hitting "Replace", you'll have to hit "Search" again (the number in the box should change) and then press "Replace" once more. As always, test in-game to make sure that it's working.

Hope that helps!

Thank you sooooo very much, that helped me completely.

The addresses in Leaf Green are 00E76F3C and 00E76F64. :P
