Okay, I may've figured out the error's cause (duplicating a new map that hasn't got a script; duplicating maps with a script don't bring up the error), so that's hopefully not an issue now.
307200 tiles is what I've heard. Theoretically this allows a perfectly square map no larger than 554x554, but any dimensions within this bound should work (albeit not be fun to traverse in). Also as Hayden said earlier the map system item will stop working correctly far below this threshold (unless you use the modloader .dll that dynamically resizes its rendering).
Problem:
Player does not appear on map until reloading game
Details:
The mod uses the TSC+ hack (and IMG/PHYS add-ons), and after the cutscene (following the PHYS stuff), the player... just isn't there.
Thought they were out-of-bounds so I added the Map System equip flag, but turns out they are at the starting point where they should be, just hidden... and SMC doesn't reveal them.
I even used TRA, to no avail.
So far, the only way to actually go on as normal is to reload (there's an "autosave" in the script at the start of the mod that I copied from one of the mods I've worked on in the past, but that didn't cause any issue in that mod).
I was wondering, is there anything that can be done, other than using LDP and an H/V trigger for part of the cutscene?
I'll try, but my mobile device imposes a character limit. -_-
So I'll have to shorten it (by a lot), at least until I can find a way around that.

What's the most recent version of Resource Hacker that's needed to replace ORGs and such?
(As I understand it, using the latest versions would be unwise?)

Removed one, tested it, player is invisible and uncontrollable until reload.
Tried the other way around, same issue.
Removed both flag and equip flag, no change.
Since I can now post from a PC (rather than a lousy mobile device), I might as well post the full script from the starting map.

The only ASM hacks applied to the mod in question would be the "errors" one (that translates the errors into English) and the TSC+ with the PHYS and TIMG add-ons.
(I removed a <LDP from the script that was placed before the <TRA event; at the time, that's the only work-around I could think of.)
Or… is it possibly a side-effect from having like 181 maps in the executable (despite only 128 being usable from what I could tell by testing)?
Thanks; it seems version 4.2.5 works, but it always helps to have an older version just in case. =P

How to make myself look hopeless: I'll ask an ASM question in this thread! Cuz I ain't getting help in the CSMC, and I'm all out of options.
So I'm trying to modify my <BLO command to have an argument so it can read off an npc's event number, turning it to <BLOXXXX. However, even with looking at my ASM notes and even looking off of commands by Thomas Xin or Cyber for reference to see what I'm doing right, and what I'm doing wrong, I still can't figure out why the command just won't work with the added argument. Help would be appreciated, thanks.
