Resuming Zelda Projects

[Lin]

I've decided to resume doing work on ZOLE, and over time, ZLADE 2. Already, you can download version 1.08 in the official download topic, and hopefully it'll be updated frequent. I apologize for taking so long to get back onto what seemed to be important to some people, so expect more updates soon.

Thanks for sticking with me in the huge time gap, so let's work together to bring hacking the games back.

That's true dedication right there. I'm going to give the new version a whirl and see how well it edits Seasons.

Can't wait for full Seasons support.

Lol And ya, me neither. However, I want to get Ages fully working before Seasons. ZOLE 1.09 should be coming out either today or tomorrow, with the ability to edit static objects (Which means placing/removing carts and such).

You don't suppose JohtoMap will be released soon, do you?

Maybe after that, you could make a better map editor for RBY. Pokemap is very limited to what it can edit, and Pikamap doesn't edit events at all.

I'd much rather hack RBY or GSC rather than RSE or FRLG.

Please and thank you.

Yea, JohtoMap was supposed to be released last Monday, but my testers never gave me feedback. I've tested it extensively but you can never be too sure. And I had thought of a Pokemon R/B level editor, but there's someone named Ubitux who's got a very good level viewer. Problem is he probably won't be done any time soon and it was made for Linux. I'm not sure.

Well I suppose for a RB Map Editor all you'd need is the Event Headers which can be found in the Red Master Hacking Guide on Crystal Fallows and the GoldMap source if you know Delphi as well as the Map Locations, Wild Pokemon Data and so on.
Although it doesn't seem like anyone has any real hacking information on Yellow. It's sad, because I loved Yellow for it's faithfulness to the show we all grew up with... well, anyone who grew up with Pokemon. I think Coolboyman has Yellow Event Headers, but I'm not too sure.

While a Hex Editor is nice to use for simple things like Trainer's Pokemon, it eventually starts getting tedious for things like editing Victory Road's map just because it's not supported by Pokemap or any event in Yellow. Not everyone wants to spend countless hours looking up data and modifying it like that, just to make a decent Yellow hack.
