sorry for double post, but i gunna put my map up now :P:P:P

hey,

this is my first map, so don't go off your nut, this is the top of a route that i made for my hack, it is between a foresty town and leading up to a more modern town.

i know there is a missing tile on the tree and that the stairs weren't really needed, i put them in cuz my bro wouldn't stop anoying me until i did it,
:P:P:P

anyway, heres the link to the map

COMMENT: Your map has a lot of tile errors and misused tiles. The map doesn't even have the 'feel' of being a map.
RATING: 1/10
SUGGESTION: You seriously need to read mapping tutorials located in the Documents and Tutorials section.

This is My other map...
hope it will better

Spoiler:

COMMENT: You need to put your map inside the SPOILER tags. Also, your map's too empty. It's too square.
RATING: 2/10
SUGGESTION: You need to read mapping tutorials in the Documents and Tutorials section.

honestly I prefer the gbc one! I'll rate the gbc one 4/5 because of it's awsome vegitation and yet it still looks like a penencula (thats a good thing). The houses are nicely placed and the playability rocks. but why is the water empty?

gba: The same thing goes except that the vegitation it's not quite as good.I don't like the pallets as much and the flower blends too much. the playability is better though. the water is empty here too? all in all 7/10

It's been a really long time since I've posted here, but I have a new map!

Map Name: Route One (for now)
ROM Base: Fire Red BPRE
Hack: Pokémon Enigma
Credits: Xiros, Kyledove, rhevarhe_duh
Comments: There is no wild grass above the waterfall because you don't have you're first pokémon yet. You can't go down the stairs until after some events are finished. The path leading into the tree is an entrance to a forest.

Mm, I really love the combination of tiles and palettes. Especially the path.
Anyways, the map itself is also very good. That row of flowers at the very top looks a little odd. I'd shorten it to two (by removing the right-most flower) but that's up to you. Besides those three, all the other uses of flowers are perfect. Hm, you got the waterfall right ;) Grass placement is good but there's not a whole lot of it. Adding more would probably make things too crowded but at the same time, is doesn't take much to traverse the Route. I'm not too fond of the usage of small trees. I dunno what it is but I suppose it's passable. One thing I definitely don't like is the way you've used a set of stairs directly above another level of stairs. It looks bad the way I see it. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do about that as I'm afraid you would have to expand the mountain to accommodate for an extra level and that would, in turn, invade on the space of the lowest level. Speaking of that mountain thing, the vegetation on it is a little iffy. I think there are just a tad too many bushes and small trees for my taste. Maybe try to vary it up a bit? Finally, the ledge is odd. If I were you, I'd just keep it simple by making it straight.
Nice map, though :)

COMMENT: It looks really nice, but in that path leading north, the signpost is like, blocking one of our ways...
RATING: 7/10
SUGGESTION: Maybe move the signpost one tile to the right?

Pretty good map. The shape of it is pretty good, and the spacing of things is great. I know this is not a tile rating thread, but I think you should either change the grass tiles, or the path tiles, since they don't really match each other.

Map 1:
Well, I gotta say, it is a bit square, but it isn't terrible.
I think you are using a bit to much grass... just a thought...
6/10

Map 2:
Still, VERY square, but it is not terrible... But once again, you use WAY too much grass.
Well, in my opinion.
6/10

ALSO, Please don't post screenshots, this is a place for Mapshots, and Map ratings.

My first map:

I call it "The Nightmare World Of Darkrai!"
the story behind this map is an event which you feel sick and go to an evil doctor called Zinger,he says that he's got a new healing method which you just need to sleep in the bad for about a 5 minutes,and then you will be automitacly cured,sounds weird isn't it?,if you say him yes you will go to sleep in the bad and after a second you'll find yourself in the The Nightmare World Of Darkrai,there you'll face Darkrai who tries too kill you,after you beat/catch him you will wake up and Zinger will discover that you haven't died and then you will have a pokemon fight against him,if you beat him officers will come to arrest him.nice story isn't it?(too bad that I won't be able to script it -_____-)anyway darkrai should be in the middle of the stairs mountain(I couldn't find a picture that would be good for him....)hope to recieve nice comments

This was a project I was doing when I first found Pokecommunity. I was making 3 caves/dungeons that contained the 3 legendary bird Pokemon for emerald. I came here to learn scripting so I could add a small team rocket-based plot to go along with it. For some reason when I started to add text scripts the text got all messed up, and I have no clue how to fix it (pm me if you think you can help btw) so I just gave up.

This is my favorite area in the whole planned hack, and one of the first areas I worked on. (I said planned because I only did like 2 areas other than this one lol.)

I have a full cave to go along with it... should I post the rest? Oh and btw, the cave is called Frost Cave, and once you enter this particular map (and the one below it) it's call Frost Cave Depths. (The first 3 levels above this one don't have ice.)

ROM Base: Fire Red BPRE
Hack: Pokémon Enigma
Credits: Xiros, Kyledove, rhevarhe_duh, Wesley FG
Comments: I changed some things that colcolstyles pointed out. I also added some new stair tiles, provided by Wesley FG of course. There is no wild grass above the waterfall because you don't have you're first pokémon yet. You can't go down the stairs until after some events are finished. The path leading into the tree is an entrance to a forest.
