should i map somthing like a town or city route lake maybe the first gym ?

 

[Mab]

No let's wait 'till all the new tiles are perfect, then we can map. To be honest, I wasn't expecting such low ratings on the MRT. I guess the map isn't as good as I thought. Once we've fixed it, we can continue.

 

[r0bert]

so how are the trees coming along ?

 

[esperance]

Yeah, I'll darken the tiles, and I think that the starter town still has some errors, withe mountains overlapping and stuff. I can fix if you like?

 

[Mab]

I have a question for all team members. Did you even like the starter town? If you think it's not good, we can restart from scratch. Ideas? I now think it's a better idea to make this more like a typical starter town.

EDIT: I'm gonna totally re-map the starter town, then we can work on the tiles. I'll use the pallet town tileset this time.

 

[Diho]

Okay, I think that's a good idea.
Make it a bit smaller would be my first advise.
Or less houses at least.

It's called moon village right?

 

[esperance]

So you're going to remap, before or after I edit the palette?

 

[Mab]

@ agentgeo
Before. I totally re-mapped the whole thing already. It has pallet town tiles, a beach, no mountains, and only a few houses. Once it's tested for border errors, I'll post it. Then you can darken the trees, and then we'll be ready to map.

@ r0bert
I want you to map route 1 once we're ready, since you said that you're really bored.

@ everyone
Since agentgeo said he's not good at making/inserting buildings, I hired another tile inserter, hackerofdarkness. It will be his job to insert the buildings.
If you guys want, you can all design your own version of the Pokemon Center, Pokemon Mart, and Ticket Center (to buy airplane, ferry and train tickets) and then we'll decide whose design is best. Please participate, all members.

Thanks.

 

[esperance]

O.K.

Also, I'll design those building like you said. What is the ticket house specifically for?(What vehicle?)

 

[Mab]

@ agentgeo
All three vehicles.

@ everyone
Here's the map. Please rate.

Spoiler:

 

[esperance]

Cool, the new town is WAY better.
Also, I made an idea for the ticket house. https://img842.imageshack.us/i/tickethouse.png/

 

[Mab]

Wow! That's amazing! We'll most probably use that! I thought we could make all three houses (PC, Mart, TC) the same size and shape, it would be easier. Do you think that's a good idea?

P.S. Is anyone here good at making warps? I need to make the warps for the starter town.

 

[esperance]

Thanks! And warps? Do you mean the warps to enter houses?

 

[Mab]

Yeah that's what I mean. I suck at making warps.

 

[esperance]

O.K. I'm really pretty good at warps.

Here's a pic of all three buildings, with the same model. https://img831.imageshack.us/i/allthreehouse.png/

 

[Mab]

Alright I think we'll use those. We'll insert them once route 1 is done so we can use them for the first city. I'm just gonna make a few edits to the map, then I'll PM you an IPS patch.

P.S. Starting in a few hours, I won't have internet connection for a few days. I'm sorry guys. PwnageMew will probably take care of the thread.

Thanks.

EDIT:
@ agentgeo
There's a thread in the Rom Hacking section called Tile/Pallet rating thread. Why don't you post your three centers there? We could see what the public thinks.

 

[esperance]

O.K. All done... Just waiting on the patch.

 

[Mab]

I'll PM you in a moment with the patch.

 

[r0bert]

i hav an idea for the normal houses we could use the same map to keep more space for features
example

@agentgeo; in my oppinion the houses are too small and simple but they are original

 

[Mab]

Mabye. That would be really confusing. But we should decide as a team. And we'd have to remake the all the inside maps, because A-Map doesn't have Cut 'n Paste.

EDIT: Actually, no because it would be hard to manage hundreds of warps on one map.
