Scripting, Mapping, or Spriting?

I prefer mapping, because I can do whatever I want. I'd also do some basic spriting if I could find something to edit the graphics with, currently I can only edit the OW sprites. I specifically want a graphics editor for FR/LG

It's a magical tool called unLZ.gba. You can find it in HackMew's tools.
 
Me likey the spriting...
I started it a while back...
On youtube...
I was awesome...and still am!
 
For me, mapping is the worlds easiet ROM Hacking skill, and the most vital. Even though proper scripts and graphics and spriting and junk is cool and all, if the map isn't correctly layed out, it would ruin everything.

I go from small changes to a map that's been created to creating my very own map. I would create every map in a blank ROM and leave everything else to the others who know alot about scripting and junk. But mapping is my only main skill in ROM Hacking, and truely the only thing I'm good at, mostly because there aren't any codes for putting a tile on a map. :D
 
I usually map a little while I make all the scripts for it
 
Scripting is my absolute best aspect, though I'm a pretty good mapper in my own right. Well, I think so at least. Judging from how fast I can map naturally.
I just love hard-coding things. That would explain why I like CSS so much as well. :P
 
Ummmm my best feature is mapping.....to be honest i really dont know why i guess i just enjoy the feeling you get when you look at something that other ppl can see and know you made that all on your own its just plain beauty and idk i guess i live pokemon to map not to script not to insert tiles but to map its my favorite and most developed skill....
 
mine is definitely Mapping.... i come from SMWcentral(a Super Mario World hacking site) where i had custom blocks for my levels and stuff like that.... I also used to play a game called Graal(Zelda Online originally) were you can make your own house and i learned mapping from that game :)
 
My stronger point is definitely Mapping, and I would say Scripting and Spriting is joint.
 
all three are equal I have been spriting the longest and it takes me about a day for each sprite so I would say it is the most time consuming

For mapping I have gotten a little tiered of mapping it became to easy

Scripting by far is my favorite I am always learning new things to incorporate into my scripts just yesterday I made a 150 lined script for an event.
 
Mapping is my best... actually my only skill... I'm trying to learn scripting, but that's just plain impossible... so I'm stuck with this.
