I've been reading Arch's Event Hacking for Dummies and Nintenlord's Inserting Maps and Map Changes with Tiled and I'm very confused on how to set up the file, considering Arch's Tutorial uses Blazer's method and using Tiled already has the map changes "set up for the map". Can anyone give me an example on how to set up the event file?

For using Tiled, there is no event file. The changes are in the layers, like in NL's tutorial.

[SlainWolve101]

So in the event file if you were to do a custom chapter, you would just have to put the event? (EX: I was to put a Chest event in the event file, and I wouldn't have to make a tile change event.)

[Jubby]

Yeah, it'd just be a Chest event, it triggers the Tiled change by itself :P

Thanks. But I also have another problem with the inserter. I have all the properties and I only used one tileset. I have each offset typed in, but I can't get the inserter to work. All it says it "Tilechange without ID. No data written to ROM" Does anyone have an answer to this?

First I just want to mention that Nintenlord wrote a tutorial for the Tiled Map Inserter which I believe is in the tutorials section here--it's really good and explains the whole process step-by-step. I suggest checking that out if you haven't already.

Second, I suspect the problem is, as the error says, that one of your tilechanges doesn't have an ID. The properties for each tilechange should include one called ID. Every tilechange needs a unique ID number, starting from 0. One of your tilechanges must be missing this property (the other properties every tilechange needs are X coordinate of top-left corner, Y coordinate of top-left corner, height, and width, btw).

I am also experiencing a strange error with Tiled Map Inserter. Has anyone ever seen the following error message?

Could not load file or assembly 'ROMhacking, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system could not find the file specified. No data written to ROM.

I have tried inserting the map into a clean ROM, and I also went back to verify the ID's were correct. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Did you delete or move to any of the .DLL files?

I did move the .DLL files, and that seemed to be the problem. The map I made inserted after I moved everything back. Thank you for your help.
