Ahh good catch! I would not have noticed that, but makes total sense why that happened.
Went back and fixed the mart roofs, as well as my house with the bike shop roof (I was just mixing and matching for that part, but for consistency I corrected it, had to block edit boulders out of the background)

Progress: [COMPLETE]

Boom! You're a pro-block editor now :). All tasks complete, I'll ship you an emblem once they're uploaded to the server~

i litterally just read a intro to rom hacking and got a couple programs for doing this is it to late to enter? i'd like someone to look at my work and tell me how i do(assuming im capable of doing any of it)


as a complete noob though i unforuntately do have to ask how to even edit the IPS patch i barely had 10 minutes so far to learn anything.

 

[embaurus]

Ok I gave this a go but tbh I gave up on the trees in the block edit task because I simply just do not get it. Like, I couldn't find the tiles/textures for it?

Hello! :D

Spoiler:

Progress:

TASK 1: Looks like you've managed this well! ✓
TASK 2: You've missed some of the movement permissions towards the bottom of the graph (perhaps you didn't scroll and missed it?). Almost there though!
TASK 3: You've block edited well - but your problem is a bit more complicated. It's basically what happened to JaDe -

The problem may be less obvious just looking at that map - have a flick back to the Task 1 map and look at Viridian City's mart... In order to stop your block edits happening on every mart/pokecenter you should overwrite an underused tile (preferably in the bottom tileset - if you know what I mean).

Had a look at yours too!~

Progress:

TASK 1: Buildings have been changed successfully ^^ ✓
TASK 2: Movement permissions are all good as well! ✓
TASK 3: In order to block edit, finding the right pieces, copy them from existing tiles! Once you've pressed the puzzle piece, find the existing bits you want to copy (ie, the PC roof) and press ctrl+right click. If you drag across the tile you'll copy it (you'll see the preview box show what you've copied) and can then 'paste' it onto the tile you want. Use a blank / unused tile as the base - it won't matter if it's overwritten in this case.

No worries! Let me help you :) ----->

Spoiler:

First, click the block editor button at the top.

Find the block you wish to copy some of in the 'block' section to the left. Then, using the down/up information, ctrl+rightclick to select and copy the data.

Then select the tile you wish to 'paste' onto. To put it in the foreground left-click on the right half. Then save, repeat the process with the background tile and paste it on to the left half of your new block.

Save and the edit is done!

Here. First part was eh, I don't enjoy map making so didn't fix up some of the tiles over the place that messed up. Finally worked out block editing though which was nice. Still need to work out Tile Insertion though but that is just beyond me for the moment, but it was a nice start. Been working a bit more on Emerald though.

I'm just about to have a look :) I'll edit this post with my feedback~

You know about your mapping errors already - since I haven't penalised anyone else for that mistake you're all done!

Good day,

As a fellow new member to this community I wanted to contribute my part by sending my ips.
I hope that I will be able to succeed for all the 3 tasks.

Hello!

There are a few oddities in your patch, for some reason your movement permissions don't work as they should (you can run across the water despite [4] being selected). One thing to note - where you have used [0] as your default permission, its typically [C] instead. [0] is used to join height levels together, but your other permissions are correct so...

I did it?!

Wow! Anyhow, sorry, I patched it wrong earlier and got confused. :P Here's what I did though.^
This was my first time block editing so I watched a video on how to do it, hope I did it right. :I

Something is wrong with your patch ): an error occurs on opening it in Advance Map. Can you check it out yourself and upload another patch? :) Make sure you're using a FR 1.0 ROM.

Try this one. Whilst 1.95 might look a little different, I believe the block editor works the same, just the DOWN/UP bit is moved to the left, rather than the right.
