tilemap-studio VS porymap

> It still appears to have the issue with text flow I ran into years ago where text would overlap with the button outline, rather than increasing the button outline to accommodate the text.

OpenVSP probably uses 'vanilla' FLTK, but there is no such issue on screenshots of Rangi's Tilemap Studio[0,1], where custom FLTK widget themes used.

JFTR, Take a look on AzPainter[2] and its toolkit on top of X11.[3,4]

you knooow... if you used the decomp then tilemap studio lets you edit these tile-format graphics easily just sayin 👀

If you don't want to code, Porymap is an incredible tool for making custom maps and changing Pokemon encounters.

Seems doable, yeah, especially if you have at least basic C knowledge. If you get the build tools set up, there's already some follower code available, so you wouldn't even have to re-engineer that yourself. And PoryMap can probably handle a lot of the basic edits you want to make.

You can look at the pokeemerald decomp. Instead of using binary tools like Adcance Map and HMA you are editing the source code with a simple text editor and porymap. The pokeemerald has everything up to gen8 (mons, moves, abilities). An example hack that was made with the decomp is Inclement Emerald.

Porymap is the best gen 3 map editor tool, but like the other replies imply it's for decomp hacking only.

decomp has an equivalent to advance map called porymap. it's really not all that different to use. i checked your post history and you mention having trouble with adding new tiles in advance map, i can say from personal experience that adding new tiles in porymap is very easy.

the other option i can think of is the pokemon emerald decomp. you would have to learn a bit to get a decomp working, then use pokeemerald-expansion's pokemon_expansion branch as a base. once you have that decomp set up you could just use porymap to change wild pokemon locations and make those pokemon available in the wild.

porymap!
