    Beat that title.

    PHC, my game, was my attempt to make a free roaming Pokemon world...

    In essence, I failed, because I couldn't get the transition to work at the corners when I added a second layer to it, and I scrapped the second layer at the second map.

    I have a 15 panel (32x32ea) looped world, with collision data for all maps, and working on Pokemon data for the rest.

    Spoiler:

    (Image links to full size image. 7168x512)

    I was going to try and make it a 15x15 world, but because the game glitches up at the 4 corners places... I don't think I will be able to do it.

    I will post pictures of my map when I get 15 posts.


    The world has already a road going along its entire width at the center, and I was going to branch it out so as to have the river, ocean, mountains, forests, fields etc grow and shrink as a real world would, and not be a linear game like the originals are.


    When I see the normal Pokemon games, I see things that do not happen in real life. Forests always allow some sort of passage in all directions, and small cliffs do not impede movement. Rivers and oceans do not have rock walls preventing people from swimming or surfing farther than "a higher power" wants them to...



    My only edit to the main part of the game, and the entrance to my "World," the bedroom of the main hero charcter.

    Also, if you look at the end of the right side of my map, there is a route with a fenced section of grass that says "MUD." There have never been any area where the starter Pokemon are catchable wild... But in the anime, they show a Mudkips breeding house. I decided to add this as the point where you enter my world.

    I will post a .ips once I have the insides of buildings mapped out, and all the routes "Pokemon'd."

    I know, but I can do a couple good maps in an hour, and it is summer, so I have unlimited time.

    And, as I said in my first post, I was going to do that, but it wont work with the engine...

    Now that I have 15 posts, I shall add images to my first post.
     
    This is not acceptable.
    Read the rules in the rules be4 making a thread in the scrapbox.

    I am sorry that you feel that way, I cannot find anything in the rules that say it shouldn't be here. It doesn't fit the requirements to be in the hacks showcase, it isn't a stub, and I don't have the patch file in the thread.

    When I do have the patch, I probably will have enough to fit the rules for the Hacks showcase forum.

    Also, that misspelled before was nagging me...
     
    You fail at reading then.

    In the Scrapbox rules, it clearly states that you must have a detailed Plot and a list of the Features available. Once you have that, this should get moved to Hacks Showcase, you just need a better layout.

    -Faint.

    "Welcome to the Scrapbox! This forum exists solely for your ideas for hacks - be it story lines, features, etc."



    My idea for my hacking is my map stuff, it is both my features and my story. To have an entire world to explore is a story in itself.
     
    You fail at reading even more.

    You read the first line, well done![/sar]

    Your thread must be detailed.

    You fail to spell character.
    You fail to give us decent information on the Plot.
    You fail to give your features.
    Overall, this thread fails.

    I'm a harsh guy, get over it.

    LESS QQ, MORE HARSH GENERATION!

    Still no story or Features, and the maps r hideous!
    Mon94key also 4got to mention 1 thing.
    U need at least 4 screens shots.
    No less than 4 or more.
     
    I'd advise you to add a story and an feature part, because once Blazichu (or Christos) get here, they'll give you ONE day to sort it out. So make good of the extra time you have before the hack's time becomes a day.

    Nope, nothing on screenshots. It says that a thread should be detailed, to the extent of it not being a stub. There is nothing in the scrapbox rules saying that my thread does not have a right not to exist. IF this were the Hacks Showcase forum, I would not post it, but this is not. This is a place to post ideas and what you have so far.


    Also, the rules allow constructive criticism, but strictly disallow flaming. I have seen no constructive criticism, and I have been flamed at.

    Eeveon, if you feel that strongly against me and my map, why do you think my maps suck?
    Yes, I do have a few parts where the textures don't fit perfectly, but I still am new to Pokemon rom hacking, I am learning.


    I do not have a "story" at this point, as I am still trying to learn the scripting. If you guys feel that I fail that bad for having to learn the scripting before I make wild claims, please keep it to yourself.
     
    Hello!
    Put that in the map rating thread and see what others say.
    As for me, it's 2 square, and maps should never be like that.
    I can't really explain it very well, but put it in the map rating thread and u'll see why it's hideous.
     
    Ok, the squareness, I can explain. It isn't meant to be "routes" but an entire world. The road is supposed to be like the equator of the planet, so you could access everything on your way. (Because of the way the engine is built, I cannot actually do what I was hoping to do.) It loops on the ends, so it is more like a circle than a square.
     
    Ahh, I see, then it does seem like a good idea, but I think it would be better to have obstacles in ur way.
    U also still need to have a story and features.
    I'm surprised Blazichu or Christos didn't say anything yet... :\
    Well, GL! ^^

    Thanks, I added a modified piece of this map to the map rating thread. You should look.
     
    Screenshots are for the Hacks Showcase only, but you do need a storyline or features. I'll give you a day to do so.
