Sephiran59 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Cannot figure out why this error is appearing and ill link screenshots of each layer and its properties and if anyone can figure this out you'll be a lifesaver, thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primefusion Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Usually this error means that there's a tile on one of the layers that's outside of the X, Y bounds you set. Maybe there's a transparent tile in a layer by accident? If you post your map we might be able to help troubleshoot this better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than the screenshots I posted in the imgur link, what would help you figure this out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primefusion Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Upload the map to a file hosting site like Dropbox and post a link to it (or attach the file in your post). Then we can take a stab at figuring out what's going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primefusion Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Your map is wider than you think it is. It's 40 tiles wide but you've only filled in up to the 38th column. Edited April 20, 2017 by Primefusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sephiran59 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Ok, that worked Another problem has occurred though... I used the tileset 1000ea12 and chose the right bits in nightmare's chapter data editor, but it still looks all messed up and weird in the game this screenshot shows that they should match, and i'm confused again, thanks for all the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primefusion Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Hmm, that I'm not so sure on. It looks fine to me in game. What do you mean by messed up? Do you have events or anything else in the same area that might be overwriting the map/getting overwritten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no events in yet, just the base prologue events right now. The map looks like it has random tiles in places they should not be like this: EDIT: I even made the exact same map in mappy and inserted it and it it looked similarly messed up. I've successfully inserted a map once before so this is really frustrating now I was even able to insert this other map fine, its just the map I actually want that is troubling me wtf Edited April 20, 2017 by Sephiran59 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rindille Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) I've had some similiar issues earlier. Did you write your map at the offset of the original map? Somtimes that'll mess it up. Try to write it in free space maybe? oops I see you did write to free space there... my bad. But use Hexditor to double check. You can download a new clean rom and retry as well. Sometimes it's the rom itself cause problem. Edited April 20, 2017 by Rindille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth noting that not only is the map messed up but it also crashes the game. If that means anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that means anything That's strange...I'm not sure about it, but here're the steps I usually double check when doing a custom chapter.(Provided that you're using Nightmare and all those stuff. I know there're other methods out there but I haven't experienced them myself) 1. Make maps in Tiled. (double check if your map has problem or not) 2. find the offset I want in free space. 3. use Tiled inserter insert it 3.run rom, you'll see tiles screwed up. 4. open Nightmare, edit chapter data etc. 5. run rom again, if nothing wrong, you'll see your masterpiece there. But in most cases(at least for me), since events mostly won't match map, units on the map will flash a bit and rom stops, but after you insert your own event based on your map, it'll be normal again. Order is very important. (Find the order suits you best) and hacking itself is quite unsteady. You'll never know if your game will crash next second...:( From my experience, don't open many engine(which can modify your rom) at once, make sure you do the correct order, better write in free space. Don't open two tilesets at the same time in Tiled. Based on all the discussions before, maybe something wrong with your map? Ditch it and redo another one maybe? (Haha I wrote a lot stuff. Hope you could find something useful.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
