Thanks for the encouragement and kind thoughts! I replaced the Dave mug with the one that CobyTheKid made because it was nice for Dave, being the main character's sidekick, to have his own custom mug, but I don't plan to have any more mug replacements. Also, I apologize for the extremely slow development lately; I've been mostly done with Chapter 5, but an extremely busy real life has been getting in the way of finishing it :\.

I use Tiled, and it's worked as a replacement so far for defining. All other tile changes are working in the chapter and in all other chapters except for the double door and horizontal door. Hmmmm... I'll do some more trial and error with the file and if that doesn't work I'll just replace those doors.

Strange. I added that and it still doesn't work. Maybe there are some door tiles that are only aesthetic, I'm guessing? Because normal doors work with that code, but not the vertical and double door tiles, at least for me.

Ah, there's a better solution than what I did (replaced the original graphic instead of inserting to free space).

That's probably it. I'll report whether it works once I've fixed that. Thanks! Edit: It worked :D

So I followed Arch's tutorial for importing map sprites, but the screen turns black and squeaks when the halberdier map sprite loads. I've tried at least 7 times and it's still the same problem. Neither standing nor moving is working; they both make the squeaks and crash right on loading. I attached screenshots of my nightmare pointers, GBAGE parts, and the original images. I made sure not to do something like importing palettes and stuff, so I have no idea what is wrong.

Hmmm... I followed the instructions that Arch said to do for special doors, but for some reason, it doesn't detect it as a door when the thief is next to it with a lockpick. I'll post my EA file. The doors in question are the double doors and the horizontal door. All coordinates and tile change IDs are correct, so it has to be a problem with something else within my file.

Hey! Thanks for making the videos, Ghast. I watched the two that you put up so far and I appreciate the feedback and will look into some of the things that you said for making future chapters.

Thanks! I can't wait to see the feedback and suggestions :D!

Ah that makes sense, so it wasn't a problem with my EA file, thanks!

So I used Gryz's method of setting up escape tiles. Now my thief seems to just go for the escape tile before the treasure chest; however, before I set up the escape tile it used to steal from chests as normal. if you don't want to read through the whole EA file, here are its AI bytes: [0x06,0x05,0x09,0x00] (exactly matches the LootFromChests macro).

Agro mentioned a reposition macro somewhere, but I couldn't find it in Unit Helpers. Does anyone know where it is? I have a similar problem as Avril just had except I have a conditional statement for the character that triggered it so AFEV events won't work.

Hmmm... I think I'll try and rip the script from an archer class and then just replace the frames with my own. I'll see what happens. Edit: Worked like a charm! I'm excited that I finally made a custom animation (I suck at art). Thanks!

I made a custom animation. Below, I've bundled all the frames and the animation script (which at this point is just a test script that is slightly edited from Blazer's template).

Yes, that is exactly what I needed, thanks so much!
