    Ruby and Sapphire Worldmap editing

    My Aim
    I'm going to basically teach you how to make a world map in ruby or sapphire
    without adding your own map tiles to prevent problems.
    this is very basic, and I'll give you some screens along the way.
    I really hope I don't confuse people, I'm making this very brief

    What you need

    VBA
    Cyclone
    and Un-LZ GBA
    Ruby or Sapphire

    WHILE DOING THIS KEEP ALL PROGRAMS UP TO SAVE TIME!

    Getting the RAW

    Open, un-LZ GBA and in Un-lz Gba load your Ruby or Sapphire ROM and go to 137 in black and white in 16 colors and click Dump raw. The File you are dumping a RAW file of should look like this in un-LZ GBA...

    This is a mosiac (hard to believe), mosaics in roms are found near most tilemaps.

    Getting the Tiles for your desired tilemap

    Open your Ruby/ sapphire ROM in VBA, and play until your see a world map, there's one in your room.
    Now go to the tile viewer In Tools >>> Tile viewer and select the 256 color option and for the "Char base" select the 0x6008000 option, click save, and save it as a bitmap.

    Creating your Worldmap

    Make sure Cyclone is on it's 8bpp function, and then open the bitmap we just saved from VBA onto Cyclone by clicking FILE >> Load Tileset option.

    Then use the tiles to create yourself a new Worldmap.
    It takes patience.

    Adding it to the Raw and Rom

    Once you have made the Worldmap on cyclone, you have to Save the tilemap, select the RAW option, select your RAW file from earlier and save.

    Now Remember going to 137 in 16 color and in black and white to find the raw...
    well now we go to 137 go to FILE >>>LOAD RAW, select our newly developed RAW
    and save select all options except for the "abort image if image is too big"
    it should save fine, it will look considerably different.

    Try it

    Open your ROM, go to a worldmap and see
    it should have been edited successfully :)

    hope you find this easy please ask if you are unclear. i know the tiles of the finished world map aren't in the right place...i have a valid reason for it...

    Credits to Alexahnon for teaching me to do this yesterday... LOL!

    true, but a lot of people do still get confused. I just wanted to help them... i think i go more in-depth in this tutorial than on cyclone...but maybe it's just me... o.0

    I agree, no offense Zeikku SSJ7

    good
    can you post the tutorial to change the tileset of the map?
    Click to expand...

    It's pretty easy, First you get a worldmap(full, I mean all drawn and all), then you rip the tiles in a 8x8 manner, of course you don't put the same ones in, keep at it till you're done, and Insert it at 136.
     
    Its works great on me when i tried it.
     
    the tutorial is bad?
    o_O cyclone not working on your own PC has nothing to do with the tutorial...
    your missing OCX files.
     
    That's why people should NEVER program in VB6. It may be easy, it may be quick, but it will not run or compile on linux (even under WINE) and always has deprecated dependencies.

    It only works for RS. The only way is to do it is "sfc.pokemon-inside.net/lesson.php?id=18&lang=en" it is vary advanced tutorial.

    I wish someone would make a all in one program that edits worldmaps for RSE,FR,LG.
