[Pokeemerald] How do you change Map & Tileset Titles in Porymap?

[bgworld]

Hi there,

I'm very much enjoying the world of Decomps and Porymaps, but I have a light organisational question. How do I rename titles for created Maps and already created Tilesets?

I have attached a screenshot of what I mean, I see no options in how to rename them. I was wanting to go through the original maps and change them one by one.

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi,

I can't see your screenshot.
When you say "How do I rename titles for created Maps and already created Tilesets?" do you mean here in Porymap

To do so, I think you need to modify that in data/maps/maps_groups. This is where you organize the maps in porymaps.
To modify the name you see in Porymap on the screen I put, I think you modify that here :



data/maps/Name of your map. You modify the name field here and above in data/maps/maps_groups in the field which as the name of the map you modified.

I don't know if I'm clear.
Tell me if you need more explanations.

I just realised I hadn't attached my screenshot, but YES! This is what I was looking for, thank you. Even slightly stupider question, I am a designer but an absolute 3yr old when it comes to looking at coding. When you say "To modify the name you see in Porymap on the screen I put, I think you modify that here", where is here? And how do we get there? To note, I use a Windows computer (used Debian and more to get the decomp and more).

Hi,
No big deal, I'm still trying to get through all the code here haha.
I was actually refering to the screenshot I attached.
In data/maps/Name of your map there is a file called map.json. (You can open it with notepad++ for example. I'm using Visual Code Studio. It does the job properly and use for coding in general).
If you open it, you will have a list like the one in my screenshot. You have to modify the value where it is written "name".
In my screenshot, I have

name : "GoldenrodInside2"

For practically explanation, I'll change the value "GoldenrodInside2" for "Testtt" in the location I mentionned. Then you should go to data/maps and open the json file map_groups.
Inside the json file, I'll have to look for "GoldenrodInside2" (ctrl + F should help you find it easily, that file is very long.) then replace the value by "Testtt"



Once this is done, if you reload Porymap (if already opened) you should find the new name of your map


I hope it helps you a little bit more.
Let me know if it's fine for you.
