Overworld Hex Values

Is there a chart or anything that shows you what the hex values are for the overworld screen?

I'm trying to have my player warp to the game over screen when he loses his last life. It's on the very last screen, but it's a bigger screen. X=7 Y=14. Can't seem to find it when I search around.

Thanks!

So if i'm figuring this out right.. wouldn't it be screen 232.. and the hex value #$E8 ?.. if it is.. it's not working for me :/

Getting closer.. before it wouldn't warp.. but after reading Dale's response in here I got it to finally warp:


BUUUUUUUUUUT.. I have the wrong value..

WAIT.. I'm figuring this out in real time lol.. It was E7 not E8.. I'm guessing because the very first screen is 0 not 1.. Ok all good people.. Just had to talk myself through it.

For hexadecimal:
X coord = 1s place
Y coord = 16s place

So screen (4,7) on the overworld would be #$74
Screen (15,3) on the overworld would be #$3F
etc.

Easier than constantly converting from decimal to hexadecimal. Just count the screen coords on the overworld.

Also, keep in mind there is a decimal <-> hex convertor under "Plugins" in NESmaker.
If you need to convert #$74 to decimal... or #116 to hex ;)

Oh yeah. I have seen the converter before under plugins. The only thing is it doesn’t always show up. Sometimes when I make a project, I’ll click on plugins and it’s completely blank. Don’t know what’s happening there.

EDIT: Wait.. i'm dumb.. I was clicking on the name "plugin" instead of the + symbol next to it. Derp! Thanks!
