Thank you, it worked.

Thank you Darthatron,the error message doesn't come up anymore. I realise why I failed now:embarrass

The only problem I have now is on the map connections for the map it has 1, and -8 (which was originally -1) and everytime I try to delete it, the number will change to -1 of what it was, (so -8 will go to -9, and -9 would go to -10 etc)

and all them tiles appear and if I try to walk into the next map I just get stuck and can't move

The only thing I can think of is you didn't click the add button, otherwise I have no idea

Thanks, I added map connections until the -8 was gone to zero and everything seems fine in the map connections window now, but the tiles are still appearing like they were :(


EDIT: Nevermind, I fixed it, I just inserted a new map, and when Advancemap inserts a new map is uses the one you were already one, then I just changed the map connections and voila, everythings fine again. Thanks for all your help, it's appreciated ^^

No Problem, just glad I could help.

I tried adding another map connection to the new map, but below rather than above this time and more glitchy tiles appear but this time they were mainly water ones, but I removed the map connection and everything was fine again.

I did though get two more problems after I did that:

but they seemed to have stopped now :)

I need help changing the ruby and sapphire world map.

Hi everybody. I have a rather simple question (I think). I'm trying to create an original Team Rocket hack. Basically, I want to know how I can change the player sprite.

 

[icychill66]

I'm looking for a debugger for ASM hacking. VBA-SDL-H doesn't work on my computer. It starts to load the ROM, but then it just crashes... I'm using Windows XP, too. Are there any other debuggers people use, or does anyone know why it might not be working for me? Thanks

EDIT: After much toiling and pulling of hair, I have managed to get it to work :)

Shadow Dawn:

To change a battle sprite use unLz gba, and if you want to change the overworld sprite (the little character you move) use the Overworld Sprite Editor.


On to my question,
When you move downward (walking) is the sprite's head supposed to go up and down?

I'm wondering how to make a script delete itself (aka you cannot activate it more than once)

So is it working now, or post a screenie of what the issue is and also the map in A-Map showing the whole program.

Thanks, but the Overworld Sprite Editor simply edits the sprite. I need to change the Player Sprite so it's the character you play as throughout the game.

COMDLG32.OCX is apparently missing on my computer. It's a Windows 7 64 bit laptop, and most Pokemon editing tools require it.. are there any tools that don't require it at all?

May I ask what you are asking? The overworld sprite editor edits the sprites, even the player OW. I'm confused as to what you want.

There are tutorials for that. Go look around in the Tutorials section.

COMDLG32.OCX is apparently missing on my computer. It's a Windows 7 64 bit laptop, and most Pokemon editing tools require it.. are there any tools that don't require it at all?

Search for a download on Google (google "comdlg32.ocx" and some links will probably appear) and put it in the folder with the tools that require it.

On to my question,

Yes.

I'm wondering how to make a script delete itself (aka you cannot activate it more than once)

Checkflags; you can find out about them in tutorials. A script cannot "delete" itself, per sé, but it can see if it already activated and not activate again.

I tried putting the file in with the tools. It doesn't work.

I hate to burst your bubble Jake but that method is a little outdated. I don't blame you, though, since all the tutorials teach it. Then again, is it really outdated if hardly anyone knows the better way of doing it?

Anyways, a better way to do it is similar to the method used in level scripts. Don't use any compares or checkflags (unless the script is supposed to run more than once) but at the end, set a flag or increase the value of a variable. Then put that variable in the "Var Number" box for that script in AdvanceMap. The script will only run if the value contained in the variable/flag in the "Var Number" box is exactly equal to the value in the "Var Value" box. That way, the script runs the first time but at the end of the script, the variable is increased so that it won't run again. Yes, using 4050 for every single script will work fine for the most part but that means that every time the player steps on a tile with a script event, it will run that script. Even if it only performs a checkflag and then terminates, it still creates a little blip and it's also responsible for the glitch which causes the box with the current map's name on it to suddenly disappear if the script is too close to the edge of a map.

@yukitor:
Try downloading vb6runtime files.

@Binary
I did that already.. yet it still does not work.

Dude you need to put the COMDLG32.OCX file in your system folder not the program folder just go to your C: drive>windows>system

Nosman, I've tried that aswell.
