Ooo a pokemon Red map.
Rating : 8/10
Reasons: Its a nice route, but it seems quite empty and you can get from south to north without having to fight a single pokemon. Its pretty empty, so you should add more things and creation to your map.
Suggestions: Try to not make the map empty, and also add some more grass. I think thats about it..

[Virtual Chatot]

Ah I see!so thats why I didnt get the map card in Cherrygrove city I just walked strait through...

Anyway here is a Pokemon Red map. It is my first version of route 135:

Rating : 8/10
Reasons: Visually, its acceptable, but it could have more
Suggestions: Add more Trees o3o

Rating: 5.5/10
Comments: The map has a good base idea, but it has quite a bit of problems. For one, the blocks of trees are very unnatural and just aren't very pleasing to the eyes. Editing the blocks to put them in a better shape could remedy this. Adding some more could also help. Now, the grass should be much more plentiful. The few patches that you did add are very random, but not in the good way. Grass needs to be an obstacle that the player has to pass through, not just a side area that you go in as you please. Speaking of smaller plants, flowers are not-so-good. There are just too many in this map. You should definitely remove a lot of them. Now, for the shape. The top of the map looks good, but other than that, it is too bland and square. Try adding areas of the cliff that protrude from the side, like a plateau. Adding some ledges aren't a bad idea, either.
Closing Statements: The map is okay. A little on the mediocre side, but just try to fix it. I also did take into account that the map was done on Red Version, but I did not include that as a part of the score.

Rating: 3/10 :S
Reason: Well, what can I say? Its a map full of errors, sorry. First of all, the map is in a square shape, it shouldn't be in a square. the hill tiles are also placed in a wrong way, without the whole hill! You placed too many grass tiles, and you filled the whole map with it. You could've added something else, rather than covering the map with only grass. You could've added pathways, water etc. The hedge dosen't really go with the map, it makes it even more wierd. The pathway inside it also has tile errors. So, sorry.
Suggestions: Well, first of all, you need to make the map less square. Add some more trees, or something else :) The mountains aren't done in a correct way, fix them! Remove the hedge and the grass, and add bundles of other stuff. Good luck!;)

[Tropical Sunlight]

the mountain tiles are also placed in a wrong way, without the whole mountain!

The name is HILLS! It is supposed to be so!

btw the rock holds 2 nest balls

Hi all,

Could you have a look at my maps? They're basically the first maps I've created, so all feedback is appreciated!

Oakwood Labs is the start of my hack's adventure, leading to route 1, which goes to route 2. The routes are quite small, but since this is the beginning area, it won't be too bad.

My whole hack will take place in one giant park, so the scale is a bit smaller. There aren't any villages or towns, but outposts and resting spots. I've always been confused how so many villagers can live in 2 tiny houses...

Also, I've tried to use a rombase from PHO, everything worked like a charm, until I saved and reloaded. The tiles were all messed up, anyone know what might have been the problem?

Cheers,

[Neti]

for first maps they are really good, even better then some peoples 10th map...
i dont see any tile errorss there, just in the mountain at the upper left corner on route 1, it is not done right but i think that was wanted by you right?
well i cant find anything bad in this maps except for what i just said and that they are really VERY small^^ Route 1, as first route.. ok, but you cant call route 2 a route! you dont even have to wal kthrrough grass (ok, 1 tile...)
but your maps arent square shaped, not over or underloaded, so i give you
9/10 for the town
9/10 for route 1
and 6/10 for route 2 (sry but you cant call that a route^^ and it doenst have that much features as the other two maps)

keep on mapping, i think with a little more practice and bigger routes youll become a great mapper!

Thanks for the kind words Neti. I guess I could expand on route 2 a bit. It's basically only there to serve as an event spot and an entrance to the cave. But that's no reason the route itself shouldn't be nice to walk in.

I'm also considering removing the fences+roads, they're only there to mark the transition, but ingame they look a bit off.

Also, don't know if this is the right place to ask it, but I'll give it a shot: does anyone know of a nice rombase for FireRed which has wooden houses and a nice foresty look to it? Thanks.

Haven't had a map here in a while.
Well, here it is:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii233/shinypkmnfan13/wavetown2.jpg
Map name:Wave Town
ROM name:FireRed
ROM base maker:CheesePeow
Comments:The double lake is for one reason.
1 is for people and the other is said to have Kyogre sleep at the bottom.
They call it Kyogre's Pond.(It's deeper than the other)
Plz rate and comment.

EDIT:
In the comments, it was actually supposed to be a double Pond.
So I'll post this with the double pond if I get a rate or two.

[destinedjagold]

does that map has a connection map towards directions right and up?
If it doesn't have a connection map direction up, then you could spot a border error.

anyways...
RATING: 7/10
REASON: I like the map's simplicity, though I'm confused if it's eeither a town or a route...
SUGGESTION: Remove those ledges for they're annoying in the eyes... :\ Also, fix the tree on the top-most part of the map if there's no map connection towards north.

[.Pichu-kun]

I shall do so.
I got confused if I made the top tree how it is like the rest on the top and on the bottom for the route, if it would show an empty gap when I test it.
Also, it's just a two-housed town.

EDIT:
Here's the re-made Wave Town:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii233/shinypkmnfan13/wavetown3.jpg
Plz rate/comment.

[destinedjagold]

The map looks nice now, however...

RATINGS: 8/10
REASON: The 2 lakes kinda disturbs me... Other than that, great job in the map.
SUGGESTION: I think a little path between those lakes would be appropriate though...

[adamb241]

Rating: 7.5/10
Reason: I like what you have done with this town, everything is even and looks very peaceful. It's an above average map.
Suggestion: Make the lake at the bottom one lake, remove the fence and replace it with trees or Fence/tree pieces.

[.Pichu-kun]

OK, here it is:
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii233/shinypkmnfan13/lastWT.jpg
DJG-There r 2 lakes for a reason like i said in a previous post, 1 is 4 swimming and 1 is for Kyogre.
Hope u like it.

[destinedjagold]

that looks so much better now.

RATINGS: 9/10
REASON: The map is really nice now.
SUGGESTION: I suggest that there should be a map connection down south or else another borderblock will occur...

The reason why I didn't like the second edited map is because the lakes are very close to each other and by nature, those two will overflow and will turn out to be one big lake.

[.Pichu-kun]

That is true...
I'll fix that and probably post it tomorrow.

Reason: They mountainious valley looks awesome! It's very complicated and has good use of the mountain tiles, just the way I like it. The pathways leading to the valley and to the next route looks great. I like the way you placed all the buildings and houses especially the gym. It looks like an original map, with added goodness and sweetness.
I also like the way you placed the trees, neat!

it looks really nice to me. i like the pallette and the way you placed the towns. the different colored water shouldnt be in a circle like that, and maybe you should divide the main island into two isslands, that would look even more interesting.

It's... nice...

It is a bit hard to make the rest of the forest because the anime is well... Not very explanatory.

First map:
Rating: 8.5/10
Reason: Oh it's a very nice remake of pallete town. I love the palletes and tiles, the map is also very good. I like the way you used the trees and the mountain tiles, they're placed in a very nice way. The river in the middle of the map also looks very good. The way you placed the lab on the top, looks nice. So does everything else.
Suggestions: I could see a few (only 1) error, so you better fix it up.

Second map
Rating: 9/10
Reason: I love these complicated route maps, especially this one in particular. The trees are placed in a very nice way, and it makes the map look better. The way you used the mountain tiles looks also good. I like the stairs/ladders leading you down, very nice! The ledges are also used in a nice way.
Suggestions: Don't put a different tree below a tree, place the same type of tree. The base of the trees look different.

[Neti]

This is a map for... Uh... a town... It's my first proper map so... yeah.
http://img520.imageshack.us/img520/9120/mountaincitytg2.png

Yeah, It is a BIT empty, so I will add a path. I just haven't gotten round to it. :D

ok, first its really good that you didnt make a square map, the shape is really nice. you also used the mountains in a very good way. at some place they appear a bit straight to me but theyre good all in all. as you already said the map is a bt empty, do add the path like you said and also add trees (small and big ones), bushes, flowers and rocks to the town, but dont overdo it.
the ledges at the gym seem a bit senseless to me and they look strange anyway. you could place another building there.
anyway, you should place more buildings in this town. not all of them have to have a door, but a it would make more sense if there were more houses.
the house in the upper right corner was anice idea though, but still it looks kinda funny... you should thin kabout using other tiles or making your own ones to build a bigger house.
rating: 7/10
suggestions if you put more stuff in it i would give yyou a 8/10. and also think of the other advices i gave you. and dont post another map here where you say "t is not complete, ill add a path..." and so on. pleas epost it again when you finished it, i think it will look great then

There are two lakes featured: Light Bay (left) and Poison Lake (right). Of course, the blues are towns, the reds are cities, and the green dots are special places. However, you may be wondering what the yellow is, they're "secret places." spoiler, spoiler! LOL

Edit: The lone city that's a big, red square is only accessed by boat. That is why no route is connected to it.

Okay, well, if you mean the two errors with the trees down the bottom, it is literally impossible to have both water's edge and tree tops as they are the same level. I actually have two hidden items on the map, and as for the emptiness up the top, you should've seen it before I made the ledges and the boulders :P. I'm thinking of making another house up there though.

wow dude how are going to put so many cities/towns into a firered hack? i counted them and came to 34... the hack im working on has 12 towns and thats just ok, could probabyl be one or two more, but not 22!
anyway i love the palette, its D/P right? and i like that you used many islands, many ppl forget about them
but why is there a circle of lighter water in the center? that makes no sense, it should have a shape like the island

I prefer for people not to use the "land" and "routes" palettes. But if someone wants to use the towns, that would be okay.

Rating: 7.5/10

Reason: I think this map looks a large step better than your last one. You didn't overdo it which is a very good thing. The Pokémart looks a little off to me. If you could center that in with that little area behind it with a path leading to it, it would look really nice. Also, different kinds of trees would add to this map.

Suggestions: That Pokémart looks a little "off" and try not to feel limited with only one kind of tree.

ok ill go into more details than dark lakitu

Town1:
The first i thought was: SQUARE!
and it is also empty at the top right and botto mleft, you could have easily avoided that by making it not square. but you could have also added some more flowers and rocks
i think the the tree tiles look ok, but the grass has a totally ugly palette, change that it hurts my eyes!
but the buildings are placed good (even if they all look the same, why not add the bigegr ones from pallet town?). i also like the path that connects them, but it has some tile errrors at the inner corners.
rating: 5/10
mostly because of thee grass palette and the squarish shape

Route 1:
Again: a square shape
The top part looks good to me, i dont know what you mean with game pokemon but the house lloks good.
the bottom and in fornt of all the center is a bit empty... you could have added ledges, trees or some rocks there.
and i have anopther small tip for you: after filling huge areas with high grass take the normal grass and place some tiles without pokemon randomly in the high grass.
rating: 7/10

Town 2:
This time the map at all is no square, but the town itsself is.
ive also seen some tile errors where the fences meet the cut trees and at the fences behind the building.
and the building placed on this little hill doenst look very good to me too.
again you should have placed some more flowers in the town to make it look better.
what i like about it is the lil maze you made up at the south exit of the town, that gives the thing more individuality.
i also like that you used many different types of houses this time.
rating: 7/10

Route 2:
Another time its a bit square, only interrupted by this two mountains.
you ccould have made the corners of the path a bit more round, then it wouldnt appear so squarish.
anyway, this were all negative things i see in thiss map, now the positive things:
i like the lake you placed at the top, it looks cool. and its only nice that you use cut trees, theyre a good addition to this map.
also the flowers are placed well
rating: 8/10


Cave:
Ok, if you tell this is not square and not empty then you should call a doctor...
i also agree with dark lakitu that there shouldnt be cut trees in caves...
so thats all, nothing more to say...
rating: 4/10


I hope you take the advices i gave you and improve your maps,
good luck!

1. The Top building is a flower center. There you buy the Magikarp Waterer and Flowers exchance for Pokemon later in the game.

2. The left building at the bottom has two areas- a, the green door, and b, the brown door.
A= In the green door, there is an area to talk to trainers who give you items and one gives you a free Rattata after you get your first Pokemon.
B= In the brown door, there is an underground passageway which leads to Naidiriv City. South of that City is Route 341, which leads to the Delapidated Cave.

3. The right building has two segments too. A, the professor's house, and B, the professor's lab.
A= In the professor's house, there is his wife, your rival, and your rivals sister.
B= The average professor lab.

First: Noone will ever say something like "OH YOU SUCK and OHMYGODTHISMAPROCKSOMGOMGMGMGMGMGM" in this thread cause that is not the sense of it. some people might just rate your maps without giving you reasons, but noone will do something like this (i hope so^^)

Ok and now my rating:

Well you did my favourite mistake (which means i hate it): Your map is a square!
ALsso the garden or whatever it is part at the top looks like a waste of space to me and over-vegetated anyway.
WHat kind of door is that at your house? Does a small hosue like that have a door that opens automatically???
also the other two houses look a bit boring to me, and there should be at least one tile space between two doors if they dont lead to the same room.
and the path, if it really is a path is too big, looks more like the normal ground of that city.
and the bottom has too many flowers, way too many!
So ill give you a 4/10
Think about the suggestions/critics i made and change those things.
Maybe you would like to read a mapping tutorial, ive recently made one but there are also other good ones out there. Just go to the guidelines/tutorials forum

Map 3: 8/10 (water on the mountain? Cut, THEN strength? why)

Map 4: 9/10 Overall, better, but i dont like the FR/LG hoenn sprites, fix them up, or use the Ruby/Saph/Emerald ones, thay look better.

Very, very impressive. Easily one of the best maps I've seen in this thread. I can't point out any one thing I like, because I generally love the whole thing. However, like has been said, the bridges are a little much, unless they have a point in the story. Second, I would use side-stairs for the depressions; they're not hard at all to insert, and make more sense.

9.5.

They are not so squarish anymore, first route is still a bit but it is way better now.
the only map which has not improved is the first city (the bigger one). Did you change anything there?
Unfortunely i have a lot to do so i cant rate your maps and go into detail.

About the land routes in the sea,

well it's very obvious that it's a remap of viridian city. I would suggest trying to change the surrounding trees and mountains to something other than how they are arranged around viridian as well as a few more trees and flowers might help.
It is a little squarish, but I think that trees and flowers will help decrease that
overall it gets a 6/10 for the time being.

Also a really nice map! I really like the tiles and how your map looks all in all.
But there are some things that are quiet useless, like the ledge at the bottom right, the hill/mountain with the sign on it and the ledge in fornt of the gym.
I also think it would look better if you would not use so many diffferent types of paths in one town.
Another thing is that this huge building in the center doesnt really fit in there, all the other buildings are small.
Tile Errors: Small trees at the bottom right and the roof of the huge building where it meeets the windows (you used the roof tile that is supposed to be above a door)

This map seems pretty good!
But...:
1. Too much empty space.
2. Grass in a city/town; don't do that, ever!(unless it matches up to the theme of the place)
3. A building peace as a bridge?(actually, that's not a bad idea, kinda matches as a bridge)
So...7/10
Izzat good?

[One Winged Angel]

Well thanks i didnt kno there was grass(where is it)
and I think the building tiles look better than the bridge.

[Ninja Caterpie]

Yeah building tiles do look better. Grass is next to what the bridge crosses -.-*

8/10
Bit empty... There's a path of flowers... Oh boy we love it...
Suggextions: Add more stuff?

[Neti]

i can just repeat what the others said: too much empty space, a path of flowers and grass in a city (besides i dont consider this too bad...)
the bridge mad eof house tiles is a good idea i think and it really looks like a bridge!
so 8/10 from me

Uhh, this map is way to square and empty. The mountain is unnatural, and I dont really see why you need the fences there. I also beleive the trees overlap eachother to the side, which you didnt do. Plus the flowers look too organised, and really have no point in having a path. Again the map is way too empty, you didnt use the tiles in such a way to make it seem a little less empty, huge spaces dont really make a map interesting. Plus, having the building as a bridge is a bad idea, it doesnt match the ground at all, and stands out too much. 4.5/10

[One Winged Angel]

Yea, im pretty sure that cities have Flowers in them. How come a city cant have a flower field???

[Punk Rocker]

Yea, im pretty sure that cities have Flowers in them. How come a city cant have a flower field???

It can, but I think it should be a bit more realistic, not like there going to make a pathway to a bridge, it would be much more logical if it were in someones backyard or near a forest, i think you get what I mean.

[blaster911]

you are totally right...you should only put them in the logical place

if you would see this would you like it?

just put the pic in a adressbar

i think it is a cool idea but you should edit the blocks cause it looks kinda stupid with the roof and theres is a tile error between the two doors.
the rest of the map is fine with me

[cε׀׀]

Theboss-
Ooo that's a tiny map XD
Anyways, I like what you're trying to do. You're trying to add windows and doors on a mountain. But it's not looking too good, the map is empty.

[theboss]

its a peace of the map :P
im working on a top secret project that will be made public if its developed enough to be impressive :P

[Red Rain]

Hello everyone. Recently, I downloaded RMXP and decided to start mapping again. I used to do it just on paint and they were awful. This map, the starter town of my own region, Bilaso, is Youngseed Town.

The hero's house is the bottom left, with his/her father selling goods on his own market stall. Mom is also around, as a housewife. I think it's better to see the players parents actually together, instead of being a single parent! XD

That's my lab btw in the pic. :D I used to make tiles, I should be maybe get back into it.

Prof. Palm's lab is in the top left, and the grassy areas and pool are for his tutorial on how to catch Pokemon. So, what do you think of Youngseed Town, were budding trainers begin to bloom?

Youngseed Town (http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3145/youngseedtownud6.png)

[Neti]

i like it, except forr the big mistake that it is square.
but the tiles look cool and the way you palced the houses and path are rellay nice
8.5/10

[destinedjagold]

the map's really square...

RATING: 8/10
REASON: I really love it. It's peaceful and simple, and I like the balance of things.
SUGGESTION: Erm.., it's too square... Try making it less squarish(word check?)...

[cε׀׀]

Hmmm
Rating: 7.5/10
Reason: I like it, but it's kinda squarish in a way. The map looks really nice though, really peaceful and quite. There are some tile errors I could spot.
Suggestions: Make the map less squarish and a little less empty.

[Red Rain]

Thanks for all critique. I agree it's square, yet so is Littleroot, Pallet Town and Twinleaf, or rectangular, whichever. All the starter tows are.

Introducing Route 301. Nice little route. Paths cut into the grass are for trainer battles. I really like how it turned out. Again, squarish, yet I need help on how to make them less square.

http://img386.imageshack.us/img386/4273/route301ty4.png

[Neti]

uhm did you really just say that nintendos map are square too as an apologize for you making your own map square??? oh my god...

NEVER MAKE SQUARE MAPS! That is rule No1 of mapping!
Here is a mapping Tutorial made by me, maybe you want to read it (you said sth about tips how to make maps that are not square): http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=134658

About the route:
except for the square shape of the map and the square placed grass it looks fine to me.
those trees in the grass to be selfmade, and they look good.
ill give you a 8/10
you should add some flower, ledges and rocks

[Neti]

ok i already told you via icq that i like your maps, well heres the rating:
town: 9/10
maybe add something in the middle

and the forest:
well i dont know if there is anotehr tree sort in teh rom youre using, but bigger trees would be cool i na forest, and maybe a bit more grass.
ill give it a 8/10

The starting town of my hack

Old version:
http://img374.imageshack.us/img374/8761/satustowntu3.png

New version (with the snow, and already in game)
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5396/satus2yr0.png

Note: New version is probably not the final version

[Kye McPie]

The snow-covered trees look really nice, but I prefer the brightness and color variety of the old town. I especially dislike how the three houses look the exact same, and the signs look out of place (I think you should've kept those tablets...they look more primitive, although only a little. They're a little too sleek to qualify as "stone tablets" >_>.)

Overall I give it a 6/10.

and i post the image for you:

http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/5693/tindertownwz8.jpg
THIS IS NOT MADE BY ME, IT IS snuggle100's WORK

[Kye McPie]

The top-right house...when you put the ledges right around it like that, when you box it in, it makes the oddities of the game's perspective noticeable; the house looks flat, like it's just a painting of the front and top of a house on the ground inbetween the ledges. Try putting the top ledge one step up.

Also, there are quite a few errors with the roads where you didn't use the tiles with the proper edges. Some of them seem like they could be intentional though (like around the high ground with the stairs).


Well, crap. I ringed the errors in but I can't post them because apparently the basic privilege of posting URLs isn't granted until you've made 15 posts. Oh well. You can spot them all if you zoom in on the high ground with the stairs, the lower parts of the roads and the lowest house.

[BlackRainbow*]

Epsilon: Your map its verry nice. I really like the tiles. But i'm not really the fan of tree paletts. but anyway great work. 9/10

[Wichu]

Snuggle: Change the ledge in the top-left, or remove the tree next to the left-most house, as jumping down the ledge there will get you stuck behind the house, with no way out.

[snuggle100]

ok thank you for the tips

[Tropical Sunlight]

Hello,
does anybody know how big must be a region map (when you use Fly) in R/S/E/FR/LG?
I want a region map for Turquoise: Aqua Egg and I want to make it in D/P style.
If anyone can help me, please post. And answer it with pixels, not centimeters on inches.

When I finish the map I will post it here.
If this isn't the right topic, let me know about it.

[BlackRainbow*]

Epsilon: What do you mean with that "but where did the new tileset go?"

[danoftheworld]

Epsilon: What do you mean with that "but where did the new tileset go?"
He meant, when you inserted the tiles, what tiles did you replace?
---------
I know I have still yet to get a spriter, and I need more scenery... But without sprites, how'd I do?
http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh80/danoftheworld/adamantupdate_01.png

[One Winged Angel]

Its too square. Put some trees so it wont be a straight line. Why would you need a spriter???? You can map the base unless your talking about new tiles.IDK.

Ill give your map a
4/10

To plain, to square, to much open space.

[Red Rain]

Here is my newest map, Mildawn City. This great city is home to Suchet Mansion, home to the wealthy Suchet family. It also has a port in which you can visit the snowy, Polarwind Island.

Here it is, I hope I've done well on this one. I believe it's my best yet. :D

http://img395.imageshack.us/img395/8765/mildawncitymc0.png

[destinedjagold]

hm.., dunno, it looks lovely to me. :)

RATING: 7/10
REASON: I like the map very much. :3 It's very nice and a bit balanced. :)
SUGGESTION: Fix the trees in the lower-left corner of the map, for they form a diagonal manner... :\

[Neti]

looks really cool to me, you used many self made tiles which look really good!

rating: 8/10
reason: it seems to be a very good map to me and i like your selfmade blocks and tiles
suggestions: just as destinejagold said: fix the trees in the lower elft corner and maybe do something to the path, it looks strange at some parts to me:
http://eugenier.eu.ohost.de/poke/unbenannt.png
the parts i marked are jsut useless, you should remove them

[Epsilon]

Epsilon: What do you mean with that "but where did the new tileset go?"

The one that u used in topaz/garnet,
i kinda liked it :P

[Wichu]

Not the best, but here's my starting town:

I think it looks nice.
But are the doors supposed to look like that?

It's great!

[Wichu]

I forgot to mention that: the doors are events, they don't show up when I screenshot them in the editor. Here's an ingame screen:

i like the map too, but i think the palette gives the map a very sad atmosphere...
using shadow is also a ncie diea, i havent seen that before
and the shape and everything is really great, good job!

http://img393.imageshack.us/img393/5018/hazeletid9.png
I like the colours, and the water at the bottom it looks great!
Love all the trees..
The red and white in the flowers look out of place though?

[Red Rain]

About my Mildawn City, I looked through your comments, and I am very pleased with them. Thanks very much for those. I couldn't really see what you were meaning with the trees, but I did eradicate a mistake on those. I changed the cut part of the city, and decided to add a secret house there. This also gets rid of the unnecessary path before the cliff. Now, how would you rate Mildawn City now?

http://img142.imageshack.us/img142/3343/mildawncityoz4.png

[Neti]

looks better now, the trees in the lower left are still a bit in a straight line but its not so bad anymore
i forgot my old rating, so just add 0.5 to it, if you correct the one path i marked for you on an image (i marked two, you corrected one) you can add 1.0^^

[Tropical Sunlight]

OK. I finnaly made it, it took me 4 hours.... Phew!
Here it is: The Pokemon Turquoise: Aqua Egg world map!

wow that map is really nice!
you started with a nearly square shape and made a map with a really cool shape! the river is making the shape even more interesting.
since this map is complex, i was expecting many tile errors, but found only two (at the right end of the ledge and the ends of the fences are wrong more than one time)

this map gets a 8.5/10 from me

[FenderX]

I dont know if i should keep this map as pallet town for my hack, but here it is.
its from pokemon firered, and maybe will be pallet town.There is a reason why the pokemon lab isnt there.

http://i31.tinypic.com/1z8xdz.jpg Hmmm...Well...It ain't square and that's good.. Although at the bottom right.. It's a bit monotonous...
Seems like there's G/S/C style Berry Trees and Headbutt Trees.
If it is going to be Pallet, why is there a PC?
The pallette is a bit...uh....Well...It makes the PC and houses freaky...

7/10...Good overall...

Nice maps; they really have the Pokémon feel to them. Now, for some critique: the strong current looks out of place on the sea map; either replace it with rocks, or extend it upwards. On the town map, the NPC near the yellow tent-thing looks odd; shouldn't he be underneath it? And finally, on both maps, the vertical bridges look like they're not connected to the cliff at the bottom. It's not that serious, but fix it if you can!

Anyway, I've seen a few people posting their region maps here, so I may as well post mine:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/projectamethyst/Misc/Map5.png
Zoomed-in:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/projectamethyst/Misc/lmap.png
As you can see, the zoomed-in map is a lot more detailed. I think that's a nice touch.

And how they look in-game:
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/projectamethyst/Screenshots/Screenshot090.png
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/projectamethyst/Screenshots/Screenshot091.png
http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj197/projectamethyst/Screenshots/Screenshot092.png
When you're zoomed in, the town icons will be generic grayed-out towns, until you visit them. After you visit a town, its icon will change to represent the town in miniature (compare the Hazelet Town icon with the map at the top of the page).

Oh, and if you're wondering how I achieved this in a hack, the answer is: I'm not making a hack. These screens are from Pokémon Amethyst, which is being made without any ROMs etc. I think it gives me a lot more freedom to do what I want. But over at Game Dev, we don't have a map rating thread, and besides, there's not really much difference between a map in a hack from a map in a stand-alone game, so I figured I could post here.

about the thing with the npc: he is undernetah it, this si an advance map screenshot. in advmap the sprites are always above the tiles.

Sorry if this is a little out of place, but how do you get the image of your town/route/city on here? I'm using EliteMap and AdvanceMap, so is there a button you push that allows you to get the entire image on here? Thanks!

Yes, you go to tools-->save map/event picture---> and insert the name of it.
But save it as .PNG or else it won't work if you have uploaded it.
but you ask that in the simple questions thread so this seems like a spam to me.
your post will hopefully get deleted soon.
soo since that happened...*reports*
Its the rules and people should get the same punishment whether they are new or not.

But here is a simple, nice map i made.
it is obviously an edited version of pallet town.
the soul dew has a purpose in here.
and if anyone wants, hey can have the soul dew tile.

Connections: Light Hills (down), Seaflow River (left) and Hot Canyon (right)

Credits: CheesePeow for the greatest rombase ever!
Rating: 6/10
Reason: I like the map when you look at it overall,
But at soon as i pay a bit attention to the details i noticed,
The cave parts dont really how should i saw fit in?,
For the rest its nicely done i couldnt have done it better myself,
I really like that you added a lighter type of grass/floor at the top,
And that you even if its a small map give a option to choose a location to go to.
Suggestions: You could try to pay a bit more attention to the small details,
As the pond doesnt have any nice edges around it its just cut off and that also go's for the cave.
Final Comments: I really like the map itself, But some things could have been done better.

@ X-Buster...
COMMENT: The remade one is pretty nice. :) However, with that map, it needs to have map connections to all 4 directions... :\
RATINGS: 8/10
REASON: I really love the map. Though I think it needs two or three more trees to satisfy my taste, but it's lovely.
SUGGESTION: That map needs some rocks around the water parts though... :\


@ IceCharizard...
Redone Wish Town...
COMMENT: A twon with two houses only..? Well, okay... :\
RATINGS: 7/10
REASON: I like the peacefulness around that map, and the nature is pretty sweet. :3
SUGGESTION: It looks more like a route than a town, though... :\ Why not add a doorless house to make it three buildings there? Also, you could fix this little error... http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/etjne4t6j.png

Crystole City...
COMMENT: It's a nice little map for a busy atmosphere...
RATINGS: 6/10
REASON: The map's nice, yet, it's a bit overcrowded... :\ A bit squarish, too...
SUGGESTION: Erm.., you could resize the map to make room for air to pass through...


@ Red Rain...
Polarwind Island...
COMMENT: Brrr... What a chilly place to be...
RATINGS: 7/10
REASON: I like the freezing balance of the map... But it looks a bit squarish to me though... :\
SUGGESTION: -none-


@ bigsteve...
interior of the 2nd cave on Seafoam Island...
new interior map for seafoam island with articuno...
COMMENT: A gold map. Yay! My first time rating gold maps. :3
RATING: both 7/10
REASON: It's a bit squarish to me though... But it's a nice, yet, simple-to-go-through map...
SUGGESTION: You could add some mazes to confuse us, though. :)


@ Neti...
Starter Town...
COMMENT: An icy atmosphere... Lovely. :3
RATING: 8/10
REASON: It's really a nice map to start our icy adventure. It's lovely. :3
SUGGESTION: -none-

Route 1...
COMMENT: Still pretty nice. :3
RATING: 7/10
REASON: It's a nice map. I can tell that you really worked hard on this piece of art. :)
SUGGESTION: I do think the sign post should be located in the middle part of the map, though... :\

Town 2...
COMMENT: A complex map. Sweet. :3
RATING: 7/10
REASON: It's complexity is lovely. A frosty town. It's pretty nice. :3
SUGGESTION: Though it's a nice map... That stone on the left corner of the map is kinda disturbing the way, http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/ntjhwsjh.png is it not? :\ Also, this house is kinda, stuck, http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa154/destinedjagold/nrtej6.png right?

@ Arm♠ndo...
COMMENT: Did the town's people planned out the mountain and the trees' pattern? :\
RATING: 6/10
REASON: I should say that it's a lovely map, however, the natural things; trees and mountain, aren't too, naturalistic, though... :\ They follow a pattern...
SUGGESTION: Make it more naturalistic...

Sorry, I don't know where to get A-Map 1.82, and LU-HO said not to resize maps in 1.90...

[Neti]

why not resize them in 1.9? i always do so and get no problems

[cε׀׀]

Well, here is a map of Pokemon Sacred Legends, its called Equatos Village.
Please rate so i can decide whether not i should keep it.

Rating: 7/10
Reason: I like it, although there are some errors easily spot able. I like the paths and the tree placement, but I don't like the mountain thing in the middle of the map. The PC is all messed up and you've got a problem with the border there.
Suggestions: Just fix up the errors...:\

I don't like the map because it is made from two almost completely the same halves. Like you'd make half of the map and then put it next to a mirror and then do some Marts instead of PCs,
IT DOES NOT LOOK NATURAL.

First half decent map I think, might be the start town for my hack. A few tile errors, Tree's when they cross over onto the mountain area.. (the sides of the tree's) I'll have to make a new tile for that. But eh, I like it. A bit of empty space, might fill it with something.. People, lol.

[One Winged Angel]

Yea, i figured out that alot of people don't like that grass. They say its too bright.
5/10
I think its empty
Square
and the rom base.
Make it less square.

[Veng3anc3]

Ok, yeah. Reasonable. Thanks ;)
I'll go about making a new grass tile.. and adding more over-all.

Reason: Looks pretty good, I like the use of several different tree types, the paths look nice too. I don't think you used the ledges very well though, and there isn't enough forced grass walking, but then again if you did do that it might ruin the map. Btw is this a rom hack or is this on something like RMXP?

Rating: 2/10
Reason: Square map, too much empty space, impossible to reach cave and grass (therefore unnecessary). No paths used, tile errors too and I don't like the flower garden either. Ridiculously overused tiles and palletes. Sorry if I seem a bit too critical.

[Veng3anc3]

Fair enough -_-
The cave will be reachable actually, in my hack theres gonna be a new item that lets you climb rocks.. >_>
But ok, the whole mapping things a work in progress.

looks nice to me but it is just me or the pokemon center is a lil bit small, anyway Ill Rate it a 8.5/10 and where did you got that ROM Base..?

I have the rom base from pokemon Fire Red (U), color follow to Pokemon Omega and tileset i got that in Shiny gold v5 :P

Pokémon Center I think it's bigger than pokémon fire red!

[Alistair]

X-Buster: It is not a ROM base. Those tiles were stolen from Pokémon Omega (I say stolen, because Xiros does not want people using those tiles in other hacks).

Anyway, onto rating.

Rating: 6.5/10
Reason: Well, to say the least, it is still Viridian City, just with some new buildings and others rearranged. That said, it has a good flow to it. It also has a decent shape to it. Now, the details on the map are not bad, but they need work. Since this is a city and all,those DP flower patches don't rreally fit, as with the grass patches. The smaller trees (non-Cut ones) are also used in the wrong fashion, as they have a center tile. Now, there is one really wierd flaw. The patch of trees above the Youngtrainer and below the set of two houses, half of two trees is existant, and the other half of both of them is stuck in the building. I also noticed the complete left side of the map (where the mountains are) was left completely unchanged. Now, the last thing I noticed was that the building where the tree incident occurs is used wrong. That building should only be used for the gates between city and route.
Suggestions: Clear out the map before you make a new one, do not use route details in cities, use tiles the way they are supposed to be used, and make sure your mapping makes sense. Also, do not Xiros' tiles.

if this is true, then loitraitim (http://www.pokecommunity.com/member.php?u=62022) you should appologize to Xiros before something really bad happens

[Semele]

Er.. hack of Vietnam

Da Nang City


Дон Пач is right, loitraitim, those tiles and palettes are from Pokémon Omega, so you'll have to remove them from your hack, since Xiros doesn't want anyone else to use them.

[loitraitim]

All of you is then wrong the T__T
I want to attempt to be of power own when what a the map illustration to have already been ever had ^^!

There should not decline have a rest among that... this that!

And.. sr Xiros!

Probably do i must send the epistle to Xiros?

You're obviously using a translator, and I don't understand what you're saying.

I'm just telling you to remove the tiles and palettes from Omega that you used from the map and use the Fire Red ones or other ones that you are allowed to use.

this is my currently nameless starting town for a fakemon project that i'll be making completely from scratch other than tiles (which may be subject to change eventually)

rates/improvement please :)

Nice, I like the map. Even though I don't know how to rate Gold maps properly.
The map looks very nice and I like the cave in the corner and the lighthouse sorta thingy.
The map looks very nice.

You should make all the roofs with 2 blocks, theres only one odd house out of the three. Try adding a mart, as there's a Gym. The player will need potions!
8.5/10
