In depth Advance Map tutorial

Younegai said:
Okay, disregard my last post, I've figured everything out.

I just have a simple question... if a map's border were too narrow, could one just shift the map over a couple of "X coordinates" in order to have more room on the left side?
Click to expand...

From what I'm reading, I take it that the left side of your map is not in correspondence with the border or that you don't want the player to see the border.
If this is the case I would recommend changing the size of the map's width in the header tab by how many ever you see fit and then moving everything on the map to the right.
​
 
Yes, I have to do that. I was just wondering if it was possible to do that someway instead of doing it manually through right-click and whatnot.

And I just hit a roadblock that is more important than anything else right now... I'm connecting two different routes horizontally, but for some reason, they won't connect. I've tried multiple offset numbers and I can't seem to figure it out. According to all my other maps that have worked, they should have no offset, but they're still not working...

When I load the ROM into virtual boy to play it, I notice that some tiles are not affected by the weather alterations I've used in the map. For example, I've used one of the fog/mist weather types and some of the tiles are not affected and they just stand out completely, and the weird thing is is that those tiles were ones that I edited but rather ones already in the ROM.

I think you should place the flag as 0x0001 so it matches the ID, just a suggestion

I thank you for this tutorial, it really helped me know the ins and outs of Advance Map, however, I've got a bit of a problem.

I was making a map out of a Beta map in Fire Red, the warp to the map is your player's bed, I tested the warps in game, they worked fine after a little trial and error. But then I went to make the interior map of a lab that Beta Island map, and after testing, the screen would turn black.

After a bit of snooping what had gone on, I found out that when I go to change the Beta Map's name, the Lab interior mimics this command and has the same name.

I'd like to note that when I did make a new bank completely for the insides of the island(it has caves and stuff), it gave me a replica version of my modified Beta Map, so I'm guessing both maps are kinda linked.

Problem is, though, I don't know how to delete the lab to get rid of this problem, let alone don't want to delete it, so how can I fix this problem without resorting to deleting one of the maps?

I can give pictures if you need them.
 
Nice tutorial! I will makes pokemon games someday after playing Pokemon HG / SS or another games! Thanks! :D
 
hey

thanks, this tutorial has helped me with many a things that i had trouble with except this.
when you make a new bank and map, how do you create a new name. i usually insert maps, but then (even if it is in a different bank) if you change the name, then every single map with that name changes. on my advance map, it said there are 5 available new names to create however it is gray and wont' let me click on anything dealing with it. does anyone know how to create new map names totally?
