PoryMap | Map Editor for the Disassembly and Decompilation Projects

Thanks for the response, I seem to have found the problem, not sure why yesterday I wasn't getting this while using make. But this explains why nothing is changing.

Ideally, you should make a new thread in Decomp & Disassembly Help for things like this.
You did build agbcc and install it on that copy of Pokeemerald, yes?

have you successfully built a ROM from this repository before, or is this your first attempt?

this is just a hunch, but it's possible you might not have agbcc installed. refer to the "installation" section of INSTALL.md, specifically step 2: "install agbcc into pokeemerald".

Just checked and I had installed agbcc into my decomps folder, not the emerald one. I have fixed this and can now compile with map edits. Thanks for the help.

Hey there, I've had consistent problems with failing to get Porymap to run whatsoever on my machine. Do you have any clue what could be causing this?

Specific details here if you need them. (someone helpful on github helped troubleshoot but no solution's been found yet)

Assuming that you're not using a 32bit copy of Windows 7 or 8.1, the problem could be that the latest version of Porymap uses Qt6 which is only compatible with Windows 10 and newer.

I have tried earlier versions (all the way up to 1.0, lol) and still consistently get this issue with every porymap copy I try and launch.

Is there a way to have a Warp set/unset a flag using Porymap?

By default the game doesn't have a way to set flags on warps.
Instead you might set the flag in a map script in the warp's destination map, or if the warp is not on an animated door, you can replace it with a script trigger that sets the flag and warps you.

By "Map Script" do you mean a script somewhere in that area or can you run a script that happens in the map as a whole? Because if I can toggle a flag based on location that would be so much easier XD

There's a type of overworld script called "Map Script". These are normally used to trigger a desired flag while a map is loading or after it has already loaded.
Look at include/constants/map_scripts.h for more info, and git grep them for some examples.

Effectively, you could add a map script to your map that sets a desired flag as soon as the Player walks into said map. That's basically how the flags for the flight locations are handled.

Thanks for that, it has solved my problem. (Without comprehensive testing mind you, but a temporary fix is something)

Sorry if this counts as gravedigging, but I've been poking around trying to insert a second region map like ROWE did with Kanto and the Sevii Isles, but the only real resource relating to changing maps is pretty outdated/missing pictures, and Google/Bing aren't much help either after multiple days of trying to wrap my head around adding a secondary region, not just replacing Hoenn. Do you have any recommendations or pointers on how I could make some progress? Attached is the map that I made which is based off of Sakhalin Oblast to go alongside Hoenn (which will be replaced at a later point with Sinnoh seeing as Hokkaido is directly below Sakhalin)

Porymap doesn't throw any errors when I use the add new region option with the tilemap that I got with tilemap studio and the associated .bin file. The only thing that happens when I fill everything out and save is a blank region appears alongside "Sakhalin", and both disappear after closing and reopening the region map editor.

The game builds fine otherwise.

Looking forward to any suggestions, thanks for your time!
