Welcome to Porytiles! This wiki can answer any questions you may have about Porytiles. If you have further inquiries, you can find me as grunt-lucas on the pret and RH Hideout Discord servers.

An official video tutorial series is coming soon: in the meantime, check out these tutorial videos from one of our community members.

Official documentation for the Porytiles2 codebase is here. Porytiles2 is a WIP - I'll share more info in the coming months as I make progress.

Before using Porytiles, I always recommend that hackers familiarize themselves with the tile insertion process. If you understand the process Porytiles is automating, you'll have a much easier time troubleshooting when things don't work. This PokéCommunity tutorial is a classic -- I recommend that you read it, understand it, and try manually inserting a very basic tileset using the techniques described therein.
