blendgroundtograss007_nodetail and blendrockgroundwallforest.
These 2 materials define the normalmap for the grass differently, causing lighting to look different.
"$bumpmap" "Nature/dirtground001_height-ssbump"
does not equal
"$bumpmap2" "Nature/rockground002_height-ssbump"
*looks at the actual vtf files that are being used*
they are pretty similar, so I'm surprised it looks this different. Say, did you ever have to click "Sew"? If you don't, hammer might not smooth out the lighting.

1. Blends can only use a single ssbump, or one to two normal maps.
2. Using an ssbump as a normal will result in the texture looking brighter.
blendrockgroundwallforest uses a normal map for the cliff with an ssbump for the grass, and $ssbump was not enabled. This results in the grass being brighter than usual.
So, use blendrockgroundwallforest001, which doesn't have any normals, or create your own blend to make use of normals. You'll need to get a flat normal for the grass to prevent an unnatural shadow seam between the displacements.

I'm working on a new map, and it's almost ready for release. But then I compiled it with Compile Pal X.
When I compiled it normally, it was about 2k-3k kilobytes. About an average size for an A1. But when I compiled/packed it with CPX, this happened.
It's the second largest map in my game, right behind snowplow.
How.

Did you repack it to reduce file size ?I'm working on a new map, and it's almost ready for release. But then I compiled it with Compile Pal X.

not plugging at aaaaaaalllllllllll
And yes, repacking this map will drop file size way, way low. About 40-50 MB after repacking is perfectly reasonable.

Yes, I know that I have to repack it. I just did, and now it's just over 40 MB.
Note to self: Drastically reduce detailing in a2.

Still adding shiz. I'm hoping for snow-covered prop variants in next Frontline supply pack (I could make those myself but im lazy).
Is any of that outer water going to be surfable? Could be a pretty cool thing if you make it loop so once you beat the gym that allows you to use surf, it loops back to there and you can surf through route 3 to get to the next area.
I'd also love to test this once it is playable.
What engine are you using to make it?
Been working on a small Pokémon fangame. I've just been making (non-final) maps so far. This one is my favorite. Route 3. Top area still incomplete.
So is this based off of Gen 3? I hope so....
It looks like ye olde flatscreen, I'd keep it that way.
