A Question

[DemonBoy]

Hello everyone, forgive me if this is in the wrong section, but I absolutely love this game and would like to make a couple maps and such.

I was wondering what maps have yet to be made, to I can try my hand at making some. I wouldn't want to try making one to find out that it has been made already or that someone else was working on it.

Also, would it ever be possible to add little childlike 3d models for characters? My friend and I thought that it would be a cool thing to add as a fun little mod.

Thanks in advance for any answers.

no meshes, static or animated, are supported by the engine. maps are made out of entities which can take on various blocky shapes. i have made a rather crude editor which is available in one of the stickied threads. i made some long ass youtubes about using it too if you want to look, its 90 minutes total though so if you watch those, pace yourself i guess hahah

we are always grateful to have missing maps done for us, they must conform to the GBC game though, we are leaving layouts untouched. good recreations of maps from g/s/c will gladly be brought into the main game if you are willing.

a good tool for getting the layouts of maps for reference and also ripping textures is 'JohtoMap' there is also a program called 'Gold Map' around that does the same thing. it loads a rom and allows you to edit the maps and scripts of a pokemon gold/silver version rom. but the important thing is it lets you see the whole map exactly as it would look in the game without havign to go there on an emulator etc
