OK, I will now try to explain advance map. This tool edits the maps inside the game and makes all of the events for the game. Here are some basic steps to make maps for advance map.
1. Open your ROM
2. Double Click on the place you want to edit.
3. Next start changing the images on the map. You can do so by clicking on the right hand side area under the phrase that says "border block" and then clicking in the area that shows your map.
4. Next you will have to decide what type of area it is. Under movement permission view you can decide if the sprites can travel there or not. For instance the 1. red means you can't travel there and the c means you can travel there.
5. Next we will explain events. Note you cannot actually make the event inside advance map, but you can put the event that you made inside another tool inside advance map. An example is that you made an event in pk-svui and then you place that event inside advance map.
After you make your event you click on one of the bottom phrase that say "Number of person events", "Number of signposts", "Number of warps", or "Number of scripts".
Usually you would pick person or warp. So lets say that you create a person event. You could then change the picture of the sprite by changing its picture number. Most importantly you would place the event that you made inside pk-svui under script offset. After that it depends on what you have created.
6. Wild pokemon section should be self explanatory, but I will explain. It edits what pokemon are inside the area that you are editing.
7. Under header view you can change many things about the map such as its tiles. You can also change the music, how large the map is, and you can also change the maps name.
8. Map connections- You can get to map connections by clicking on the arrow sign button right next to the puzzle piece button on the top. To change how to map connects to other maps you first select its direction, then you have to tell it the map number that you are connecting it to by telling it the map bank number. I will have more information on this on a different tutorial.
This is only the beginning of this tutorial. I will try to add pictures to show you how to do things even better. As always if you have any questions just ask and I will try to answer them.
(Also I will try to upload my version of advance map into media-fire for you guys to download.)
