Tool: DS Map Graphics Editor

[Skara]

General layout Idea.

Have 2 tabs for the part with the actual map contents.
Models - Buildings, Fountains etc
Terrain - Water, Grass, Plants, Rocks etc

Also, have a built-in Event Editor so you can change the text from the program.
An In-depth Event Editor and Event Maker would also be good.

Then have the Event, Permissions and Header tab too.

If you can't do any of that, that's fine. I can help direct the layout, but I'm useless when it comes to writing a program.

I wouldn't mind helping, but I have no programming experience. Can it change the song that plays on a given map?

That would be very useful, although you can change it with PPRE. The problem is that it doesn't exist yet a list with the music values.

If you are planning to add a music chooser function to the program, I can help you by creating a list with the music values.

I can translate it to dutch

 

[Skara]

Yeah there's a thought.
Who can do multi-lingual translation?

 

[Spiky-Eared Pichu]

I forgot to say that I'm Spanish, so I can translate it to Spanish.

I really hope this becomes successful as I think everyone else does too. lol
Anyway, it's looking great so far. If you need any help maybe LU-HO can help you? As he has experience on making a map editor, so he could give you a little advice. That's just a suggestion you don't have to listen to me, but I'm just trying to give you ideas on who could help. ;) Good luck with this project. (Y)

For writing why dont you check the model size(bytes) in comparison the the imported one and sorta make it like Unlz.gba but the image box bit with some sort of plugin from some model viewer to show the models :D just my two cents

 

[Skara]

Is there any chance of releasing a BETA of this? it'll be better to suggest features then.

Hey Link_971,
I have a question for you:
What is Porte électrique Bâtiments in english? I think Valley Windworks but I am not sure.
And I have a note for you:
The first list, I don't translate it because the Dutch pokemon diamond/pearl/platinum town/village/route names are the same as in English.

I have already translated the files, and "Porte électrique Bâtiments" means "Electric door of Buildings" (you know, the one of the Pokémon Center, Mart, etc).

I know I'm not Link_971, but I always want to help people having trouble with languages :)

 

[Skara]

What was the .zip actually meant to contain? just the text files?

I made a german translation, but I couldn't translate the following ones:

[Route 214 - Passage secret] - Maybe the Spring Path?
[Parcelle d'arbres]
[Surface maritime]
[Parcelle d'arbres ronds]
[Parcelle d'arbres ronds]
[Terrain verdoyant]

Siège Pokémontre S.A

and the sans porte in the models list everywhere.

Route 214 - Passage secret is `Route 214 - Frühlingspfad`,
sans porte means `Ohne Tür`. I don't know the other things.

 

[looper]

bien, err, fine.

So the only things I don't know anymore are:
[Parcelle d'arbres]
[Surface maritime]
[Parcelle d'arbres ronds]
[Parcelle d'arbres ronds]
[Terrain verdoyant]

PS: sans porte.... eh, thats easy^^

 

[looper]

That took 5 seconds to guess. Let's break it down.

Pokemon + Montre
Pokemon + Watch
Obviously Poketch, so the Poketch building :D I'm actually glad I took French now. Also, I don't think that's all the models. I went through with a hex editor a while back, and there were some missing, like some of the various Galactic buildings and Eterna Buildings. Maybe they are stored seperately???

yay, i already knew it^^

i've finished the translation with the map viewer(with using my brain^^) and I think the last maps are only the blocks for the borders.

In german randblock

I'll search the other ones, but it seems, that there are just empty rooms for a while.(maps)

It seems that there are 665 maps itE, so there is much work to do^^

 

[Skara]

Is there an actual version of this downloadable?

 

[looper]

no. There isn't a release yet.
