The Mapping Thread

[Agent 12]

OK, I'm gunna revamp this thread and make it go by chapter.  rather than area. 

Maps with free space:
Leene Square
Millenial fair
Truce Canyon

NOTES
  * Eventually I'll add a person to the debug room so you can teleport to any location until then please manually add a change location to location 00's events to test out your room to make sure you can walk around (solidity and Z plan are ok)
* Keep the same Scroll locks
* Keep door locations since those are used by exits (or move the exits on both the To  and from path).
* If area has a cutscene in it make sure your new map works with the new move parties or contact me to tweak the cutscene.
* I'll add to this list.
* Posting PNG's will get people excited to make a png in TF just do Map-> save map to PNG it'll save it to the last folder you saved to (or saved a flux file to)
* Thanks to everyone new maps I've seen are ridiculously better than what i can do.

Procedure:  simply make the Map on your rom then export it and put it up on an online file server or email it to jpsondag@gmail.com

How to Export:
Click file export
select Location Map
in the slot put the number of the map that you are working on (found on the locations tab)

[Chrono'99]

I'll take a look at the Mammon Machine hall.

[Chickenlump]

In between the other stuff I need to get around to doing, I'll take this one:

A "tribute" to Toma location, you can use your imagination for this one

any location in particular needed for this map?

[Agent 12]

Preferably an exit that is already on 600 AD but that were not using anymore (the Fionas dungeon thing....um Ozzie/Magus' fort etc)

good luck Chrono 99.  I'm not sure how well the "rotate tile" will work, I've never used it myself, as yo uknow my mapping skills are subpar. I'm not sure how great it's even physically possible to make perfect so don't worry we don't worry if it's not amazing.  

--jp

[Chrono'99]

Actually... I just realized I can flip the tiles horizontally and vertically, but I think there's no rotation possible. Geiger confirms it on this topic. I'll try to find some other tricks though. Like maybe adding fallen rocks (sprites) on the 3 layers.

Also, a sort of coming-out-of-nowhere question but, should I really use the MM room from the Ocean Palace? or the corresponding room from the Black Omen (it's where we last saw the MM in CT).

[Chrono'99]

Ah, I scrapped the tile-flip and fallen rock ideas, I think I managed to make something good enough without them (the hall's totally devastated!). By the way I used the OP map, not the BO one, though I still used the BO tileset because it has the broken MM tiles.

Here's a pic: http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9783/ctloc19f6vg.png

And here's the patch: http://www.4shared.com/file/1306151/25d2b705/MammonMachineHall.html
(you must set the L1/2 tilesets to 19 after importing, because it doesn't carry)

[Agent 12]

!!!!!!!!  That's amazing Chrono 99' I'm truly impressed

[Agent 12]

CL- Any progress on the Toma location.  Obviously this is completely low on priority list compared to what other things that you are doing so no rush.

I've updated the list at the top, removed Done's and added some others.

--jp

[Chrono'99]

I'm working on Location {0D2} (the second Dark Ages village). There aren't many stuff to change, but at least Tile Flip finally comes handy as vertically-flipped version of the walls can be used in the huts with 2 rooms (subtle but nice details ).

[Agent 12]

Yea it shouldn't be much, there are a few solidity and priority issues and then of course the details that mappers can see that I can't (i.e. the flipping tiles that you mentioned above)

--jp

[Chrono'99]

Done. I've rounded the walls and put lights near the exits (which means they're now 2-tile large instead of 3-tile). I "created" 3 new tiles for the flipped walls, it's not spectacular at all but it does mean I have to export the tileset too. Also, the NPCs in the central hut are stuck in the solid tiles, this has to be fixed but I leave it to you since I'm not sure my ROM was up to date as for the events.

Finally, notice the crab in the central hut, it's made up of tiles of meat and tiger carpet

[Agent 12]

haha, you want me to make the crab talk?

--jp

[Chrono'99]

Well it's more the couple's dinner than their pet so it probably won't talk. If it would the game would be like Legend of Mana in which there's a strange talking cactus

[Shinrin]

Actually crab's or ether lobsters you have to cook alive.

[Agent 12]

Added new Maps
