I tried tilemaps 160 for Layer 1 and 161 for Layer 2, but after 4 hours of map drawing and saving, I had to find that my new map was gone after reopening the editor. I never got a warning message when increasing the tilemap numbers, nor while drawing my huge map. I doubt that I exceeded the available space, as this would normally produce the warning message informing you that it didn't save, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I used a vanilla ROM and made the default expansion. Then on map 0x19F I used tilemap $160 (L1) and $161 (L2) and draw some tiles on each layers. I saved the levels then saved the ROM and when reopening the editor and re-loading the ROM my changes on the new map were still there. I did the same with map $1A0, this time with tilemap $162 (L1) and $163 (L2). I have not modified any map property and I used the default tileset. I also did not test the map in-game.

Do you have more details regarding the saving bug?

Alright, I'll try to give a bit more details:

My map expansion was the following: NPCs, events, Exits and Chests expansion bank is F7, Locations Tilemaps expansion starting bank is F8, 5 banks for tilemaps data (so it should be from bank F8 to bank FC). I didn't do the chest expansion yet.

I enlarged the map to 2048 x 2048, all 3 layers (that was before learning in the other thread that 2048 x 1024 is apparently the maximum the game can handle). I drew a pretty big map there and saved, but the wierd thing is: only the first 2-3 lines of the map seem to have saved, with the rest being gone. Here's a pic to see what it looks like:

And thanks by the way for looking into this, I really appreciate it! If you need any more information, I can also send you my game.
