[Other] Some questions from beginner(about tile editing, ips patching etc.)

[tzujm33]

Hey kinda obvious i am here to learn hacking, however, there is stuff i want to know and didint found on the forum, so here arre my questions:

how can i create my own tiles for mapping? what do i need for it. i only found stuff about gifs.

I also saw that you cant post your room but have to post an ips patch. how do i create this? do i have to mind something for this before i start hacking? Not that i start hacking and then have to do again cause i had to ips patch at start or so.

Do i need both a script and a hex editor? i only have downloaded XSE so far.

Okay, you have alot of questions, so I'll do my best to answer them :)

Yes and No, it depends if you want the game to have a newer look. You could Rom bases that changes the standard tileset(that being 0 and 1), or you could go in and edit the tiles and insert them using various tools such as Unlz Gba or NSE.

I also saw that you cant post your rom but have to post an ips patch. how do i create this? do i have to mind something for this before i start hacking?

Ips patches are created using Lunar IPS, a program for creating rom patches, as well as, patching roms. Creating patches is easy, and you will know as soon as you see the program. So I won't tell you.

Do i need both a script and a hex editor?

YES. Absolutely improtant to have. I perosnally use Hex Workshop, but most people use HxD, for Hex Editors. But you'll need alot more than that, so here's a link to what you'll need:

I hope this is will help you :) Anymore questions, feel free to ask.

Thx for The ADVICES!
I downloaded lunar ips and HxD

About then tilesets:
I downloaded this D/P tile set from kyledove and wanted it to implemented in firered




I have this tools so far
Nameless Tile Map Editor (NTME)
Tilemap Creator(TMC)
Map Editor Of Happiness.
unlz. gba

some questions:
After reading some stuff, is it better at the moment to use advancemap for this?
So far I only saw tutorials where i can insert not the whole tileset, but only one small part and it looks really time consuming. Is it possible to insert the whole tileset as a whole?

At the moment, yeah xD. Advanced Map will be better, for now. But once MEH is out of alpha, you should make the switch. Just use A-Map 1.92 NOT 1.95
