[Map] how to make a new map?

[Hexx17]

is it possible to add a map instead of overwriting existing ones? if so is there a link to how to do it somewhere? (emerald)

edit: second question, is there a tutorial on adding berry trees to a map?

 

[Mason Shu]

Advance Map has a function for adding new maps.
For the berry system it's just a script

 

[MM980]

In Advance Map, there is an option on the top pane called add new map. Click it, then design your map, then click add map again, done, but there is a problem, new map may have the name of some other map.

Hope this helps...😊

thanks


and on berry trees, it seems simple? just copy the script from an existing berry tree and change like 1 or 2 things? ive never tried anything with scripts before though. copy and pasting has you pickin 1 berry and then all of them are picked, so do i just have to change a flag or something?

I recommend checking this out too, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4-s8dP-v50 this guy has an entire series on map making and scripting, it taught me a lot.

so, when i went to insert my map it just added it to the first city's folder (in this case new bark town cause im trying to flesh out johto using sierra's crystal dust)

how do i delete a map from a map folder, and how do i make it insert into the correct folder?

Pretty sure that maps cannot be deleted from Advance Map, but you could always change the dimension of that map to 1x1 and remove any map connections.

When inserting a map, you can specify in which bank it will go, and since the first map probably is map (3.0), it has a bank of 3 and the map went there. The bank number is the place where your map will go to when inserted.

i figured out how to move it and rename it to the correct place after i posted that. i did try to specify that to go to a new bank altogether, but it for some reason went into the first folder anyway. thanks though.

i still cant find anything about adding berry trees... probably because its super basic. seems like all i have to do is change the #org and the flag but idk what is safe to use for that

I don't know about berry tree scripts specifically, but if you're using XSE you can define dynamic offsets at the start with #dynamic 0x[offset], which will search for enough free space to compile the script, which means your #org sections just need an @[name] to reference each other, rather than specific offsets. XSE will assign appropriate offsets to each part of your script when you compile it.

As for flags, have you checked if all the berry patch scripts use different flags? If they do, then I'm not sure how to help, because as far as I know there's very few "safe" flags you can use

 

[Hexx17]

all the ones i have looked at where different. heres what an existing berry tree script looks like.

'---------------
#org 0xE3D394
lock
faceplayer
checkdailyflags
checkflag 0x920
if 0x1 call 0x8E3D3C5
msgbox 0x89C8A8D MSG_KEEPOPEN '"It's a fruit-bearing tree.\nHey! I..."
giveitem 0x8B 0x1 MSG_OBTAIN
compare LASTRESULT 0x0
if 0x1 call 0x89E8B88
setflag 0x920
release
end

'---------------
#org 0xE3D3C5
msgbox 0x8E3D40E MSG_KEEPOPEN '"It's a fruit-bearing tree.\nThere'..."
release
end

'---------------
#org 0x9E8B88
textcolor 0x3
msgbox 0x8272AD0 MSG_KEEPOPEN '"Too bad!\nThe BAG is full[.]"
release
end


'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0x9C8A8D
= It's a fruit-bearing tree.\nHey! It's an ORAN BERRY!

#org 0xE3D40E
= It's a fruit-bearing tree.\nThere's nothing here[.]

#org 0x272AD0
= Too bad!\nThe BAG is full[.]


so what youre saying is id just do

#dynamic 0xE3D000

and #org @oranberry
or something?

The #dynamic in XSE scripts should be pointed to free space, which you can find blocks of by opening the ROM in a hex editor. You don't necessarily want to point it to the offset in the script you listed, because who knows where the free space would be from there?

Provided you set #dynamic up correctly though, #org @oranberry would indeed work fine

ok, i got the berry tree to work properly. thanks for the help.
now i just have to find offsets for the messages for each type of berry >.>
