v20 Tilesets changing ingame

[Semolous]

Basically this. When I'm walking around, the tiles seem to change and I don't know why. For example, I was walking around in a town, and the tiles changed from the grass ones to the mountain ones. I didn't have this issue in v19, so I'm thinking it has to be an issue with v20

Is it glitching this way: Or just tileset change?

(The linked bug looks like computation glitch of the rendering coordinate, bit like the farlands in Minecraft)

It's glitching the same way as the video

After reading a bit the map renderer, I'm assuming the PokemonMapFactory is wrong and provides incorrect data to the map renderer.

There's several causes:
1. There's two maps overlapping in the map connections
2. The code for cleaning up maps from map factory is probably wrong because it does not take in account the actual display coordinates. And adding to that point, the faulty map is probably not being scrolled at all.

In any case, it looks like the faulty map don't have its position recomputed at all. I guess Essentials maintainer can probably find the root cause based on that, they know the code more ^^

It's definitely the code. I checked all my maps and they all line up with each other perfectly

I have experienced somewhat similar issues in the past- the culprit was having a Snap Edges map connected to a normal map

None of my maps have snap edges

So, I've been experiencing a similar issue that I couldn't report due to the forum only allowing bug reporting for the newest versions.

In my case, it seemed that the PBS for map connections automatically changed, and connected random maps to each other. The workaround to that was to make the PBS text file read-only before it was compiled (but after having opened RMXP which asks to disable the read-only). It is a strenuous process and requires you to keep a backup of your "real", correct connections.txt. with which to replace the older one, before setting it to read-only.

Can you please check your connections.txt file? If there's extra map connections, that could very well be the culprit. The engine is attempting to load many interconnected maps at once.

There are no extra map connections, as I copied the contents of my connections.txt file to the map_connections.txt file in v20

So, for me at least, it's happened all the way from 17.2 to 19.1. If you had a similar issue, your previous connections.txt file could already have been automatically modified. Can you check it just to be sure?

I don't exactly know what I'm looking for

If you open the connections.txt, you will see a list.

# Cerulean City (7) - Route 24 (45)
7,North,0,45,South,0

It goes like: Map name, mapID, connection.

Sometimes, Cerulean City, for instance, would be connected to Cinnbar Island or some random route that it shouldn't be connected with. On top of it already being connected to its proper neighboring maps.

Everything is connected as it should be

The problem is caused by loading a connected map, and that map has an event at the edge of it with its back to another map connected to that one, but that other map isn't connected to the current map. Since there's no direct connection between that other map and the current map, the game can't figure out where to display it on-screen, so it defaults to (0,0).

That other map is loaded because of the event facing away from it. It's part of the bush depth check (of all things). The bug is that the map is permanently loaded, not temporarily. You can avoid this problem by moving the offending event(s) away from the map edges.

None of my maps have events on their edges though

And what's this glitch about?
