Would anybody be interested reviving that map with me? I have started recreating it instead of going off of what is already there so it would be a huge project to work on.

Currently I am going place by place with Advance map with fire red loaded up to try making the "Overworld" as close as I can to a 1:1 look. My big problem would be making the basic houses and interiors.

It's a massive under taking. I spent so many hours on that map and all I ended up with was the first few towns and routes and only some of the interiors of those buildings. I did have the entire outline of the Kanto Region generated though, which was a great reference point.

One of the biggest challenges I found was dealing with elevation. Another challenge, which was even more time consuming, was making a custom texture pack, because things just didn't look the greatest with the default texture pack. Although, there are so many new items and blocks that have been added to Minecraft since the last time I worked on that project.

Would you make the interiors a separate world where you get teleported?

Davideo7 : Yeah I tried looking at an idea I had for elevation on the route above cerulean city but I don't see it working too well outside of very niche spots.
I saw your reference and either it was slightly off or it generated some to be more compatible with minecraft spacing but when I loaded fire red into advance map( a rom hack tool) there were a couple places that just seemed off by a couple blocks.

I started from scratch in a different area in the world far from it. You can get it to from the VizzedVilleHub area. Easiest way since it has been so long would just use the command /mvtp VizzedVille to get to hub.

If you want to compared to old that you worked on /mvtp PokemonKantoRegion

I could do interiors in same world if I really wanted to. For one it would decrease load times between interior and exterior. Second I figured out how to use multiverse portals pretty efficiently so I could set them up rather quickly.

Currently have up to virdian city minus houses everywhere done. Doing those last since I suck at building houses.

First image shows a ledge concept I kinda like. 2nd shows why I don't like it. For a ledge to be made everything after or behind would have to go up a step so you have to add elements that aren't in the games and then also have to decide on how to handle elevation on a route.

Route 1 for example

Would you make top of route a lot higher than bottom of route? Add stairs or slabs going up to it? Leave it flat like this and just break the illusion by being able to go up ledges.

Just double posting my own thread here..


Davideo7 : What do you think about using someone else's map?

This one also has johto and all the guy asks is to credit him. Looking on how multiverse works as long as you are able to add it one of us could import the world for you.
