.. note::
When you're playing the game and you save, a portion of the overworld is also saved, so if you've saved on a map that you were editing in Porymap you will need to reload the map in-game. The first time you save in Porymap you will see a message reminding you of this.
.. note::
When re-compiling your ROM, it is not recommended to use ``NODEP=1``, since that can result in data changes being ignored.
