but what about the behavior byte i also see water where im standing

Edit: I corected it now thanks for the help

 

[KhaosKnight]

but what about the behavior byte

Just keep the behavior byte as it is, you only need to change that when you are doing tile editing

Help!!! Warping not working!

I have a couple warps on top of each other. I want it to go to any one of the warps, but not the same warp twice in a row.

What i mean in #'s:

Area #1 --------------> Area #2

----------> Area #3

The warp only goes to Area #2 all the time. I want it to go to Area #3 as well.

I would like some help on this.

Well, I asked this question before, but to no avail. So, I thought I'd try again! =/

I made a map using the Saffron City tileset, but when you go on the map, all the sprites are on top of the tiles. I even have trouble with tiles that don't have problems on other maps (i.e. trees). If I go to the actual Saffron City map, everything works again. I checked the block editor and all the behavior and background bytes are set correctly. I have no idea what the problem is?

See how even the Pokéball is on top of the tiles?

The hero is under the top of the tree tile on every other map? And if you go to the Saffron City map, everything is normal.

The only thing I could see wrong, Kawaii, is the background byte is set to Block is covered by hero. =s

Yep...nope! That was the first thing I checked, and everything there checked out. I would say it's not your average problem. I think I'll have to ask someone that's used the Saffron City tileset in their hack. Anyone??
Haha. =)

I've got some problem in A-MAP
Well I was trying to change the tilesets. (My friend was teaching me)
And then I think I somehow made a mistake and this is what my outside maps look like:

I've done saving the normal one from another rom and loading up the tilesets but It looks like this..

Can someone please help me out. :(

:o I'm very new to Mapping. I just took awhile to figure out the Connections! (Thus is why the door is on the tree. So I can try looking from different maps)

So I can normally tinker and fix something but this....I have no clue.
o_o; The clouds are reflecting in my vegetation.

And when I go to the map on the right the flowers mess up.
I havn't messed with any of the tilesets. (Starting small. ;_; )

For the first one I think going in to the block editor and putting the tiles for the vegetation on the top layer should work...

For the second, you seem to be using different tilesets for each map, you must use the same one.

Ah! I didn't know I had to use the same ones. Thanks!

Now...Lets try not to kill the editor..

Or find a tutorial...

ADD: HRAH!
Most of the vegetation. Actually its my grass that reflecting really...
It need a background byte of 00 20 to be blocked by the hero, but in the behavior it says (Reflection = Behavior Byte 20) even though it's not selected.

MOAR:
Flowers....Their animation is somewhere else than the tileset. I got the top a different pallet color and the bottom leaf so it looks better. (So I have a black bg for the flowes)
But it doesn't animate. Do one WITH the BG but get rid of the leaf and then when I play in the game it somehow got the lead and changed it to those nasty pallet colors. Hmm....

Hey I just need to ask something...

I was inserting some tilesets but the problem is when I insert it It says "Pallete file missing"
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem up. I really need to insert the tilesets.

PM or Post would be great. :)

Well, when you save the tileset, it acutally also saves a .pal file, that you could of possible figured you didn't need and deleted it or something. Maybe try re-saving it in a different folder (so it doesn't overwrite the tiles you inserted already), find the .pal file, copy, and paste it in the old file.

 

[iRawr-x]

I think Its a .dib file

Yeah It is a .dib file do I resave as .pal?

 

[score_under]

.dib is device independent bitmap. .pal is pallet. These are 2 different formats and under no circumstances are to be renamed to each other.

As was said, you should have got a pallet dump with it too.

I killed it!

So uh....

I wasn't sure WHICH Help Thread to put this in.

I uh, ONLY Map. I use A-Map and I've used Advanced Starter for my starter pokemon.....

And uh...
No Wild Pokemon show up. Ever. Even on maps I havn't touched.


...How can I screw it up that badly with editing maps? I'm astonished.

Pointless Addition: Lol, did you know that if your only Pokemon faints of Poison outside of battle; you pay money? Trying to play without any pokemon to catch...Ah hah...

Addition with a Point: Yay! New problem! I can't run in my custom maps. Most likely a setting on A-Map I'm missing. Ya know how you can't run in houses but can run outdoors?

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

For the Addition with a Point, just go to the header and change map type to city or route.
