Hey again.

Can someone help me? I'm trying to insert FireRed tiles into Emerald and I am having troubles with the palatte. Even when I import the FR palatte nothing will change. Help?

Can I copy/paste maps with AdvanceMap between 2 different files? (Pokémon)?

Someone else is making AdvanceMap maps, and then sends them to me so I can put them into our game.
But do I have to recreate each and every tile he draws?
Or is there a way to copy/paste maps between 2 different files?

Please let me know if there is, or if you have any other suggestions, because it takes me hours to recreate his maps tile by tile...

Well, in order to do that, you need to have the other person save the map as a .map file. then to use it, you would have to put it in the "Maps" folder, in the folder where you Keep the Advance Map Program. You might want to take the .evt file that comes with it, because it specifies some events that you can move around and modify. Then to actually access these maps, you have to double click on the "From File" section in the navigation tree on the right side of Advance Map.
Inserting the maps is easy. Just click the insert button when you have finished editing the map, and choose the "Replace" function. (Since adding more maps is foolish, there are enough maps on a rom to where you are better off replacing one instead of adding another.
Hope that helped.

Did you "Write palletes to ROM" ?

Looks more like a problem with VBA rather then APE, indeed.
Mind telling us both VBA and APE versions?

If it could help, try downloading latest VBA Link from here.
For latest APE, simply check my Tools Factory.

Thanks, you helped me further, but I still have the problem that I can't acces the maps in advancemap!
You say "click on the "From File" section in the navigation tree on the right side of Advance Map", do you mean the "map files" thing on the "Left"?
If I place the .Map files in the "map" map of AM, it doesnt appear anywhere!
Do you know what I'm doing wrong?

Thank you for your quick response btw!


EDIT: How about the maps that are already in the game?
They don't come with .Map files.
Can he change those maps too and send them to me?
Won't it harm the events?

Thank you!

Question:
More problems in my hack :(:

1. When you go out of the truck, the screen just turns black.
But I only saw this once until:
2. Now when you start the game, and you get to the Rayquaza on the titlescreen,
it just automatically restarts the game...

1.Its a problem with the hometown. Have you changed it at all?

2. Not sure(Thats why Emerald is "unstable" to hack I guess...)

Yes that is what most would say(the always handy emerald-is-unstable answer)

But it could be other things as well,

1. Bad Rom
2. a Bad Script or error
3. many other things related to scripting such as Hex errors and such, i am too hacking an Emerald Rom, and a few times i started it to test and after i got to the title screen, it restarted. All i did was restart the comp and try again. And it is also handy to have regular backups(as in everytime you make a new map or script)

1.Its a problem with the hometown. Have you changed it at all?

Of course I changed it. The most recent change was resizing the map,
which I'm sure must've done that. There was probably no reason to ask this anyway...

2. Not sure(Thats why Emerald is "unstable" to hack I guess...

Please don't start. I know all the stories about how unstable it is.
It sometimes makes me want to smash my comp to bits, but somehow
I think it might not be that this time.

The answers didn't help, but it's the thought that counts :rambo:

Thanks for siding with emerald. I think I'll just ask thethethethe about this one.
He's smart about this stuff.

hi i had a map the taht in my game and i thought to make it more bigger and better so i changed it and when i went o go test it when i got out of the truck it goes to a black screen

 

[KhaosKnight]

Well i acually could be the way you edited the home town, you see it has scripts(both reg and level) that trigger when you enter the map and various other occurences at the beginning of the game. So if you completly overhauled the map without altering the scripts...then there lies your problem.

 

[DarkShadow]

well ima noobies modder so can u help fix itthe or do i leave it as my old map

Thank you!

I do believe you may also want a copy of the .evt file that comes from it. you can save a map, and it comes with a .map file, and a .evt file, usually... try that.
and the reason the maps that are in the game don't have .map files, is because they are in the game still a part of the rom. And yes, if you replace those, some strange stuff can happen. (I replaces a map once, and when I tried entering the ma, I was surfing, on no pokemon...) It will harm the events too. (Not delete them entirley, just delete them from that specific map.
It sounds kinda like you are having a copy of his rom, or are you just getting maps from him? Either way, why dont you just ask him to insert the maps onto the ROM, and send you a .ips patch of it...

 

[Impmon]

My Advancemap 1.92 isn't saving the pallete changes I make.. I change the pallete, apply, load new blocks, save... and it appears to work. Sometimes I can go to the mep directly above the one I was working on, and it'll still have my effect. But if I load a new map and go back, it's back to the default colors!

Help?

EDIT: Nevermind, I think I've found it out... haha.

Sorry if this is asking too much, but could you tell me some way to
change the script to match the size of the map? Because I know
people will criticize and maybe even stop playing if Lilyville is too much
like the old Littleroot...

Its near the very end of the file. Just scroll all the way down to get to it. Don't worry, its plain to see, you won't miss it.

Its not like that, a level script is a script that is triggered when the player enters a map...
