Map Requests / RE: Landstalker (Megadrive)
June 03, 2008, 05:06:49 AM
Hi,



Thanks for the messages, here is a preview map I made earlier of Kalva Harbour (see below). One problem is that it doesn't show sprites/enemies at the moment, but that would not be too difficult to implement.



Regarding Maxim's comment, they can be stitched together, and would actually look a lot better as well as preserving the actual dungeon layout. Interestingly though, each map out of the 816 is specified as a different image according to the dissassembly and so would require a bit of photoshopping to get them lined up together on the same image.



I already did this for Greenmaze and it was nice to see that most of the map entrances/exits and terrain heights lined up together - shows the thought and attention that went into the level design.

Map Requests / RE: Landstalker (Megadrive)

Hi,



I don't know if you are still interested, but I am the owner of landstalker.hostsnake.com (although I have been having lots of trouble with the free hosting, and I think they have now disappeared). It is possible to dump the exact game maps, and I am currently able to do this with the map editor I am working on. I already have dumps of the nine main screens of Greenmaze but they are on my home PC (am currently at work), which I can upload if you are interested. To put things into context, there are 816 maps in landstalker, although a few of these maps use the same background but different sprites (so a lot of maps!). It wouldn't be too much work to dump them all.
