    Is there any easy way to do this? Specifically, I want to take the maps of Faraway Island and put it directly into a Firered rom with advance map. I've been trying for hours and I feel like there must be a really simple way.
     
    Its actually quite simple. All you need to do is open Faraway Island on Emerald, goto File and then Map, save the map as any name you want and close. Afterwards, open FireRed, and go to File then Map, THIS time go to open map. Find the map of Faraway Island in your folder and open it. Now go to insert map on the top. Choose if you want to replace a map, or just make it, it's own map. After that, ITS IN! Just replace the tiles of that from FireRed. This means that anything like houses that doesn't appear in FireRed, must be replaced. As well as grass tiles and such to be on the safe side.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Thanks. One problem, the tall grass on Faraway Island is not in FR. However I can't really take it out since the entire area revolves around chasing Mew through it. Is there no way to make the grass work?

    You'll have to import some tiles and alter the behavior bytes for it, so they act like tall grass in Emerald.

    Ok, I'll try to figure that out. One more thing, using "Save Map As" doesn't seem to be working for me. I don't get the option to name it and save the file somewhere. It just kind of does nothing when I click it. Any ideas for what's going on?

    Odd..I'll look into this. But I'm guessig you have to edit at least 1 tile to save the map. So just add something inconspiculate on the corner or something. Again, I'm guessing. I'll look into it more.

    I tried your suggestion and the map still won't save.

    Thanks, this should be very useful.



    On another note, can someone PLEASE help me in regards to getting that tall grass tile into advance map for FireRed? I'm content with just building the entire map tile by tile, but I'm following tutorials step-by-step in getting the tiles into advance map, yet I'm getting errors every time. It also screwed up my existing maps in the process. Someone help me with this before I punch a hole through my screen.

    I saved a tileset from FR, found the tall grass tile online, brought it into paint and replaced existing tiles with the tall grass, saved, then loaded the tileset from block editor. The tall grass is still not there.
