Okay, well I think there should be a nice mapping tutorial out there, since most people take mapping to be easy, well it's not if you want to make a good map! ><

1. Original Mapping Tutorial
Includes the basics of mapping, basic Tile Editing, Wild Grass Mapping and a couple extra things.

2. Mapping Tutorial [extension]
Includes Route mapping, a sub section of route mapping, Sea Route mapping, and couple extra things.

Tell me if the imageshack link dies, through PM, and I'll re-upload it.

Why can't you make maps square? Does that mess up the game or just make you look lazy?

It's just a suggestion. You can make the map square if you'd like, but it doesn't look good. It won't mess up the game, don't worry.

Not only does Pokemon Orange version have tile color changes, but a lot of hacks do. It's all in the palette changing. Palettes determine what color the tile will be. It would be offtopic to reply here, so if you really want to know more about it, PM me.

If I get enough good feedback on this tutorial, I'll probably make one. Thank you~ ^^

Very nice tutorial, Marz, but it is a little incomplete. Some things you should add to the tutorial are natural touches such as flowers and bushes, mountains, and paths.

Hey marz, I have quite the touch for making maps as well so I could make a couple things about the tutorial for mapping as well. Only if you don't feel like doing it all yourself though.

Oh, that's true. I'll include that with the Cities/Town Tutorial, or just make it a smaller, separate tutorial.

EDIT: All right, well, I made that separate tutorial, but it doesn't include Mountains. I figured people could stick with the first tutorial's Extra Stuff section, but if anyone DESPERATELY needs a Mountain tutorial, PM me about it. Paths is basically the same thing as Routes, so I didn't include it, and I decided to stick Sea Route mapping in there. The tutorial is at the bottom of this post, as well as on the first post.

I think I'll be making these tutorials solo, thanks for the offer, though~

Okay, again, very nice. I woulddo that by myself but I have no time. What about city making tutorial, or just town making? It would be really helpful for people around. And there are some dark water tiles to use instead of ALL THOSE ROCKS.

There are only 2 tree tiles in FRLG in the tileset 0, which is the most commonly used tileset for outdoor mapping. Tilesets like the Safari Zone's tileset or Four Island's tileset are part of the second of 2 tilesets (tileset 0 & tileset [ ]), and you often use this second tileset to give the right building tiles. The Safari Zone hardly has any building tiles, but I don't know about Four Island (I haven't played FR in a while). If you want to use it, be my guest, and use the tiles accordingly. The tutorial is only supposed to help you get started. You're on your own once you start using non-mentioned tiles.

Okay, again, very nice. I woulddo that by myself but I have no time. What about city making tutorial, or just town making? It would be really helpful for people around. And there are some dark water tiles to use instead of ALL THOSE ROCKS.

Well, school's started up again, and I am very busy as you are. I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure if I'm even going to have a City or Town tutorial.

And yeah, that's my bad for the water mapping. But it is pretty easy..

I'm actually swamped with school, I'll never be able to get around to making the final tutorial. I'm really sorry. x_x;

1-4 is not there? Or i cant see it?

Well, I dunno what you mean by 1-4, but I can't see the Extension, which means IS broke. Unfortunately, I got my new computer, which means I don't have that Extension file. UGH. I'm really sorry guys. x_x
