| Problem | The "Better" Fix | | :--- | :--- | | | You need the VB6 runtime files. Download msvbvm60.dll and COMDLG32.OCX , place them in SysWOW64 (for 64-bit Windows) and run regsvr32 COMDLG32.OCX as admin. | | Map looks like garbage (random tiles) | You opened a ROM with a custom tileset. Go to Tools > Tileset Editor . Change the Primary/Secondary tileset to match the map header. | | "Runtime Error 9: Subscript out of range" | This happens when you try to edit a map that doesn't exist. You are likely using a ROM that has been "header cleaned." Use a fresh ROM base. | | Scripts don't trigger after editing map | You moved the "Warp" or "Person" event without repointing the script. In 1.9.5, click the event, look at the "Script Offset." Copy that number. Then go to "Open Script" and paste it. If it says "0xFFFFFFFF," the script is broken. | Part 5: Beyond 1.9.5 – Is There Anything "Better"? You might hear whispers of Advance Map 2.0 or Advance Map 3.0 . Here is the truth: Those versions were alpha builds. They crashed constantly and corrupted save files. They offered "3D previews" that never worked.
