Look, you seem able to select many Block A once?
example:

It would be easier and more comfortable making maps with this feature ...

It is just an idea ...

 

[LU-HO]

As i say before on page 1/2.
pleas read the readme, there are some informations to the functions and the Shortcuts are described.

matching to your idea there is written:

Map view:
------------
Left mouse button => Draw current block / Stamp.
Ctrl/Strg + Right mouse button => Select big block/Stamp, on click and select, the selected area will be shown in a new window.

Map view - Block palette:
-------------------------
Ctrl/Strg + Right mouse button => Select big block/stamp, on click and select, the selected area will be shown in a new window.

so this function is already in.

I think he means fill in the whole map with either the selected tile or block.

importance (1 being high importance) : 1
What: Bug fix

just offsets for where editable things can be found in a hex editor.

still need examples?

Spoiler:

wild pokémon offsets
people # offsets
people/script/signpost X/Y data
offsets in the block editor
offsets in the worldmap editor

i think there should be an option, where if you can edit it, you can see the offset for it. where you could find it if you looked in a hex editor. for those really advanced people who want to go beyond what advance map can do(or something unrelated to maps, but you can use an offset as a goto point.)

that blurb is hard to read, and I wrote it.....

this isn't a bug.
this works as designed.
the map you insert have no name definition. No new inserted maps have a name definition! (just a map-filename)
you must choose the correct name you want from the Namelist (on header view).
i say this many time, also in this thread.

so than this idea is simple the same as you say on the last page "list data offset" if you only want to see the offsets on the worldmap editor, than this is the same...

not just the worldmap editor. everything. if it can be edited, we should be able to see the offset.

 

[poddish]

ability to view what colors are in each pallet for tileset editing.

ability to fix the maps that, when viewed in game, are just a black screen that makes you restart your vba/ whatever

You mean you want him to recode the entire FR/LG scripting engine, then the R/S/E scripting engine too, both in Delphi while staying sane? No chance.

Description: Import bitmap ;does all the tilemap crap on it's own

That would be possible, but extremely difficult to do, and you would have to carefully construct your bitmap to use the least tiles possible.

I say this many time, also in this thread.

*Ouch, LU-HO!* English has a perfect tense too! :P

Hello All

I have starting with first work on AdvanceMap.

Thanks for all your ideas. you can continue write new ideas.
Many of your ideas i have plan to insert in AdvanceMap.
But some of them are not possible.
I will not Insert new function in the ROMS itself -> i do not do ASM work!
I will only make new function in AdvanceMap, so thinks like "Time-based ...." or " wild pokémon musics editor" are NOT possible because this is not possible in the ROMs for standard.

@each who want to know when it will come:
I don't know, perhaps in 1-2 Month???

@score_under: I say: Do not comment ideas !!!
