Adding items

I have problems adding new objects in a map which hadn't before.

I 've been looking for coincidences in scripts, mapheaders and MapObjects and this is what i changed:

Scripts:

UndergroundPathNSScript: ; 459ab (11:59ab)
    jp EnableAutoTextBoxDrawing

UndergroundPathNSTextPointers: ; 459ae (11:59ae)
    dw Predef5CText
    dw Predef5CText

Mapheaders:

UndergroundPathNS_h: ; 0x61f1a to 0x61f26 (12 bytes) (id=119)
    db CAVERN
    db UNDERGROUND_PATH_NS_HEIGHT, UNDERGROUND_PATH_NS_WIDTH
    dw UndergroundPathNSBlocks, UndergroundPathNSTextPointers, UndergroundPathNSScript
    db 0
    dw UndergroundPathNSObject

Mapobjects:

db $2 ; people
    db SPRITE_BALL, $3 + 4, $3 + 4, $ff, $ff, ITEM | $1, ANTIDOTE
    db SPRITE_BALL, $2 + 4, $2 + 4, $ff, $ff, ITEM | $2, POTION

The compilation runs, but in game, when i try to pick up the new item, the game shows me this:

all in white and dont pick up the item...

What else do I need to do?

You need to add new items as "hide/show" objects. You do this by adding a constant for the new item in constants/hide_show_constants.asm and by adding the entry to data/hide_show_data.asm, which associates the hide/show constant ID with the sprite ID of the object on the map.
Note that the order of hide/show objects in data/hide_show_data.asm must match the order of the constant IDs.

This should fix both of your errors.

The sprite isn't disappearing of course because it isn't a hide/show object.
And the text doesn't appear/the item doesn't end up in your bag because the PickUpItem routine aborts if no matching hide/show object was found with the corresponding sprite ID with the sprite you interacted with.
