Map not sitting where it needs to be

How do you solve for offsets?

 

[TheChroniclesofLance]

in fire red, map borders can be resized. Go to the map footer (in an hex editor) and the last 2 bytes will be border's wide and height. 0202 normally. In viridian forest, it's 0302. But, you'll have to repoint the border and write it in hex. not a difficult task

I was able to kinda solve it. I changed the width and height of my map. It was just too big and wasn't matching up properly.

HELLP on emerald

I cant fix a room map... it has a grey outline border instead of a black border. i have made the room big but it still wont work... help!

 

[Ninja Caterpie]

You're using the wrong "black" tile.

Go to a room that was made in game and check which black tile it uses, then do the same for yours. :D

I'm new to hacking, and I'm catching on okay, but I'm having a few problems. One: how do I add more maps? Eg. A new route. I can create the map but it won't let me add a new name. Two: I can't seem to get warps. (I use Advancemap) I can edit current warps, and I can warp to ones Ive created, but not from. Eg.: I made a cave for ho-oh, and to check it, (since I have to start a new game to do so) I made a warp coming from the hero's room, on his carpet. It didn't work. I tried it from his door, it works. The person script worked great, but the warp that I placed there did not. I tried movement permissions=0, =default, =1 (like in littleroot), but nada. Help?

Okay im not sure if this is the mapping or the scripting, although i havent changed the scripting. But i get a problem after i have a double battle with the trainers on route 104 of Ruby.
Th problem is that i cannot move the player, and my input controls only the camera. Anyone want to shed some light?

 

[JirachiFan99]

i have a problem with my snow tileset and i need some help, it always appears above the hero instead of under, it behaves that way with other objects. Can someone please help me?

I managed to fix this, if others have faced this problem, here is the solution and the problem: If you are experiencing this behaviour, it is because you placed the tile you wanted on the rightmost side, it should be on the left side, with a grey (blank) tile on the right side, (yes i used advance map block editor)

It's neither mapping or scripting related- it's the Behaviour of an NPC/Trainer on the map, one of them that is set to Look Down. Change it to "No Movement", and the 'camera controlling' will no longer occur.
@JirachiFan99, that's the background byte of the tile. Click on the purple puzzle piece icon in A- Map, select your snow tile, and with the scroll-box select "Block is covered by hero".

1.Go to the house with the sun icon, then type in a tileset, i suggest getting some from the other map headers.
2. Simply make a house/cave opening/forest entrance, go to events, click 1 up for no. of warps, and click change events, you should turn the sprites off, then type the map bank and the map in the respective areas, the format for maps should be this: (map bank. Map).

I need my weather to be sunny and clouds reflected in the water.

But for some reason, other stuff is reflecting it as well, like the mailboxes in front of the houses and other things.

How do I get this to only reflect on water and nothing else?

 

[EDB]

I seem to be having trouble getting a warp to work... Before you all go ballistic and point me at the tile behaviour etc., I'll mention that I've tried all that.

Basically I want a cave entrance to act as a warp. I'm hacking FireRed and the current zone I'm in is an edit of Veridian City, which by default doesn't have any behaviour set for cave entrances. I went into block editor and set it to 67 00 (normal warp), after using other caves dotted around the game as precendents.

However, the warp still doesn't work. I does work, however, if I set it to Warp/Door. This isn't that great though, because it has the wrong sound.

Any suggestions/ideas as to how to solve this/why this is happening?

Kind thanks in advance.

when using advance map,

if i make a map named "route 200"
and inserted it.
then i make a new map named.... "bob town" (lol just to say)
and insert that.

then, save it or change map.
say good bye "bob town" hello "route 200"...... yep now i have 2 "route 200"
and the tileset changes as well...... and some times, just some times! the map size changes as well!!!!!!!!

You're linking a file on your computer. Not a problem :D You need to upload it to a file-sharing site first. I'd suggest using mediafire.com. First, click the giant green

button. Next, click the yellow area

. Now, locate that "pkm game.DIB" file on your computer, click ok, & then click the

button. You'll see some sort of progress screen & when it's done, "Upload Complete" will show up in huge green letters. Next to your file's name, a link called "Share" (in blue) will show up. Click that & then copy the "Sharing URL" (In the

tab).

Paste that "Sharing URL" (that you just copied) in a new post & now people will be able to download your map :D Hope this helps. Feel free to shoot me a PM if you have any problems :)

(I did a search and found nothing)


How do you change the tilemap? Because i want to put in a different tree from d/p/p into the ROM, i have the sprite and everything, but i cant put it into a BVD (or whatever the export block option in AM saves as) file.

Halp.
