Crowdmap Help (Adding new map)

Zephlosion · 2017-01-06 05:59:25

Hello. I'm trying to add a new map in pokemon crystal using crowdmap, but nothing seems to work.

I've done everything in this tutorial, but it doesn't seem to work.

Here is the log when I try to make the .gbc rom.

"CRONCH" is the test map I'm making. (Made up word from friend)

Thank you!

Make sure that CRONCH is defined in constants/map_constants.asm.

I wrote this guide to directly adding a new map in pokecrystal. If you're using Git, diff the files before and after adding "Cronch" with Crowdmap, and compare its changes to the ones you'd make manually.

Thank you! I did what you said in your tutorial, and I also tried to make a map in crowdmap. Used two different pokecrystals for both.

When doing your tutorial, I ran into a problem. I'm not totally sure how to make a .blk.

When I made a map through crowdmap, it gave me a similar error as before.

PS: Hope I'm making sense. I am pretty noobie at this. Sorry for any confusion.

If NONE is undefined, it probably means that this was removed from the beginning of map_constants.asm:

GROUP_NONE EQU 0
MAP_NONE   EQU 0

But I have no idea why Crowdmap would make that change. I had issues with Crowdmap when I first tried it, which is why I now edit maps manually.

You can make a blk file in a hex editor: there are width*height bytes, and each byte is a metatile ID. Metatiles are the 32px squares (sixteen 8px tiles) that compose a map. Metatiles are defined in the tilesetID_metatiles.bin file; each has 16 bytes, the tile IDs from top-left to bottom-right. I use this Python script to render an image of the metatiles, so I can refer to it when hex-editing the map. Try editing an existing map to get the hang of the process before making your own. I really recommend keeping your project as a fork on GitHub; being able to see file changes over time helps a lot in debugging.

I'm going to try this out tomorrow. I'm beat.

Thank you for helping me, Rangi! I really appreciate it!

Tried to make the .blk from scratch using a HEX editor like you suggested. It still says the same thing from the first one, where "CRONCH" is undefined, though it is defined in map_constants.asm. This is tricky.

EDIT: Here is the code where I defined "CRONCH".

newgroup                                                    ; 24

    mapgroup ROUTE_26,                                   54, 10 ;  1
    mapgroup ROUTE_27,                                    9, 40 ;  2
    mapgroup ROUTE_29,                                    9, 30 ;  3
    mapgroup NEW_BARK_TOWN, 9, 10
    mapgroup ELMS_LAB,                                    6,  5 ;  5
    mapgroup KRISS_HOUSE_1F,                              4,  5 ;  6
    mapgroup KRISS_HOUSE_2F,                              3,  4 ;  7
    mapgroup KRISS_NEIGHBORS_HOUSE,                       4,  4 ;  8
    mapgroup ELMS_HOUSE,                                  4,  4 ;  9
    mapgroup ROUTE_26_HEAL_SPEECH_HOUSE,                  4,  4 ; 10
    mapgroup ROUTE_26_DAY_OF_WEEK_SIBLINGS_HOUSE,         4,  4 ; 11
    mapgroup ROUTE_27_SANDSTORM_HOUSE,                    4,  4 ; 12
    mapgroup ROUTE_29_46_GATE,                            4,  5 ; 13
    mapgroup CRONCH,                                      10, 10 ; 14

I got it working!! It was my own stupidity. Thank you Rangi!

For anyone who is also stuck on something similar, heed these words.
