Detailed description

For my first serious map, I decided to make the full Kanto region, based on the first generation of Pokemon games. I released it under the ZLIB License, because it only uses resources found in the official Sauerbraten release (please correct me if I'm wrong on the license).

I made a blog to document my progress more in-depth, which I listed as the project URL.

I welcome any comments or suggestions! If you would like to help work on the map or improve it, please contact me first, and I will give you more details. I prefer to continue using only the official Sauerbraten resources (objects, textures) to keep the map development as smooth and streamlined as possible.

Also, this is just a map. There will be no player interactions or Pokemon-styled gameplay, at least until I have the entire map completed, so please don't ask questions like "How are you going to catch Pokemon?" or "How are you going to implement the fight system?" because I'm not planning on doing any of those things.

I'm trying to make the map as close as I can to the original Pokemon maps, I am using the Kanto maps from the Red/Blue games on strategywiki as a source. Also, I'm trying my best to make it realistically scaled, so that if I ever want to make a SP map out of it I can.

I welcome feedback! Please just keep it helpful and constructive.

Screenshot please.
Please just don't post the .ogz; post a full .zip package instead.

Thanks, I tried to upload a .png screenshot but I guess only .jpg works.

There is just the map (no extra materials) but should I put the map inside the packages/base hierarchy within the .zip folder?

.png is supported here, just be sure to get a view of 4:3 and up to 640x480.
The license is up to you and seems fine, but it often is common to use a CC-license.

You're actually required to put it in a directory as "packages/base/your_map".

It would actually be pretty cool if you would get teleported into some battle. Like when you would have to fight the gymleader, you get teleported to an identical room but with monsters. That would put way more depth into the map.

This seems like a very cool idea! Like you mentioned in the description it's not finished, so I'll give you feedback on what you have so far.

I think most of the things there are are well done! I like how you tried to keep everything close to the original.
There's some things that could be improved:

- Make sure the rock-walls in the part between the two villages are one-way only by jumping like in the game. Right now you can just walk up without even having to jump. (You might even think about using one-way cubes to make them really one-way, but I think fixing them to the point where they aren't like stairs is good enough :) )

- This could really do with some nicer (more fitting) textures! Some of the things are fine, but the texture edges between path and grass are too rough. Maybe you could use blendbrush for it, or make textures with smooth transitions.

- The lighting needs to be improved, it's really MUCH too bright as it is now.

- Consider playing around with the grassheight/grassscale/grasscolour options to make the high grass look a bit higher/give it more of a feeling like you're actually walking through high grass rather than a few tiny blades of grass

Speculant | 2012-07-18 05:33

Thanks for the suggestions! I was wondering how to make the blades of grass a little taller.

Also, I'm quite confused as to how to make one way cubes that are see-through. I can make one way cubes with a sky texture, but then the player only sees the sky texture through the side they can't enter.

Also, I will probably make the sun much higher up in the sky and remove a few lights. Pokemon is a very evenly lit game, but I might be overdoing it somewhat.

SomeDude | 2012-07-18 06:09

To make skytexture transparent: /skytexture 0

Speculant | 2012-07-18 15:49

Ah, thanks so much! I will definitely give that a try.

Poke him on. Gotta frag them all.

Hope you get this map finished soon [^.^]
