Anthroyd,

Is possible to set up a shot for Pokemon using this same method?
(tutorial 17)

I think you made a typo somewhere...
Do you mean a PokeCenter? If so, then you can use the command special 0x0 to heal all of the Pokemon in the player's party.

Excellent videos. I really wish these had been out when I first tried mapping; you were dead-on when you said we've all made some embarrassing maps. I can't even go back a year before finding ridiculously awful maps, ones I personally thought were great. Back to the drawing board every time.
Anyways, you said earlier in this thread you don't recommend adding maps to A-Map; instead, overwriting old maps. Why is that? Could you elaborate?

Adding new map banks / entries into AdvancedMap will result in glitches due to repointing errors, in my experience. You won't find a single ROM hack that has additional maps along with the original maps. Every gen III ROM hack is made the same way; over wright the original maps' tiles, drag all of the old events somewhere where the player can't reach them in game, change all old person event movement types to "Hidden," then start anew.

I regret not discussing this process in my first few videos. It would have saved me some time but meh. :/
Thanks for your praise! :)

I find it hard to believe, considering massive projects like Liquid Crystal, but what do I know? It's a valuable piece of information nonetheless, and something to consider as I continue learning how to map.

This isn't true at all. Advance map 1.92 repoints banks and map headers correctly. These errors you speak of most likely stem from using 1.95 (which never left its beta stage and is buggy) and the hacker's own inexperience.

Not all hacks.
JPAN's engine patch removes every single event (except warps) on all maps, giving you a blank canvas to work with, so any hack that uses this patch does not follow this arduous task you speak of.
As for new maps, see my previous point. They can be added correctly with 1.92 or manual hex repointing. I'm sure a lot of hacks have additional maps added. Sometimes you just need more indoor maps. (In my case)
