    Hello together

    I will start to makle the next version of AdvanceMap soon.
    I have done nothing since 3 month...

    For the next version i ask you:
    Which function will you have in the next AdvanceMap? Say what your ideas are.

    I make an Example and say what i will insert ;-)

    What: Change the images of WorldMap
    Description: upgrading the WorldMap-Editor, so you can change all 4 Images (Main and island). You have only to paint the image, and AdvanceMap make the Worldmap-Tileset and the WorldMap- Map and insert them.
    Importance: 3 //(1-10, 1=Very Important, 10=nice to have)

    You can also descript many Ideas in one Post.

    Please do not discuss about the ideas of others, also it you think this are vary bad, or you think i will not insert them. Let this be my opinion.

    There will come a poll for voting the ideas later. (new Thread)

    PS: the title is pool (not poll) because the voting is in a later Thread, here you can say your ideas in a ideas-pool ^^

    Ah, I'm glad you're still active in the ROM Hacking scene, well, here's my ideas.

    What: Support For Expanded ROMs
    What: Support For Making More Tileset Slots For Versions Like R/S
    What: Support For Creating New Names
    What: Edit The Position For More Stuff On The WorldMap, example: Safari Zone, Lanette's House, Flower Shop etc.
    What: Possibilty Of Creating Flightspots
    What: Ability To Edit What Floor The Map Is

    well... For the time being these many ideas, cause I can't think of more. Good luck!

    What: A clear-map function.
    Description: Would turn all tiles into black ones and reset the movement permission to 0. There would be an option to keep the map size and if it's not checked, the map size is 1x1 and an option to delete all events (in case you'd like to start the map all oven again).
    Example:
    The map will be cleared. Is that OK?
    (checkbox) Keep the original size?
    (checkbox) Keep the events?
    OK CANCEL
    Importance: 9

    well, here's my little demand desire for a new function. :)

    WHAT: Region Map Editor
    DESCRIPTION: Well, in the newest version of A-Map, yeah, we can edit the region's locations and such but, I wish to edit the region map through A-Map and wish that we could fix where the player properly is when viewing the newly edited region map through the POKéNAV or through a Town Map. :\
    IMPORTANCE: 8/10

    WHAT: MAP TESTER
    DESCRIPTION: I think someone already satted this idea, and I liked it. Anyways, it's for, after we created a map, we can test it. :P
    IMPORTANCE: 7/10

    I kinda don't agree on that one. :\
    This is Advance Map, meaning, for ROM's graphical presentation. :\
    Don't worry about graphical stuff Time. I don't know if you know this yet, but expansion of a GBA rom is known, and can be expanded out to 32mb.
    Zodiacdagreat is just asking if Luho can add the possibility of pointing to points in the rom after expansion, like 0x1800000.
    I'm was happy with advancemap 1.82, but I guess the floor changing option might be pretty fun to have.
     
    What: Block Animation Editor
    Description: It will be used in block editor, it can edit the animation of the blocks (flowers, doors, water, etc.). It would become very useful because there isn't anything that can edit anything to have proper animation rather then having no animation with the doors and such.
    Like this: (animation slot 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and then the style of animation and the selection of the sound it will make.
    Importance: 2

    If it's impossible, then can you explain why it's impossible? :\

    What: Maybe A Little Script Editor Or Something
    Description: Just To Make Simple Scripts And Insert Them Right Away
    Importance: 6/7
     
    What: Movement Permission Filler
    Description: Fills tiles of a map with their usual movement permission
    Importance: 10/would be nice to have

    Importance: 4

    What: Duplicate sprite function
