Is it possible to make extra areas and use the extras in the minimap ?

Hey there, i was wondering if it was possible to create new areas and to use the extra minimaps for them, i don't think it's possible directly with MAGE but maybe with an asm patch or with some hex tweaks ?

Yes, but no one's done it yet.  You'll have to write your own code, or bug someone / wait for someone else to do it.

As well, MAGE won't be able to view and edit those areas without modifying the program, or temporarily overwriting a different one.

That's sad, those extra minimaps will forever be useless then :sad:

If I had to guess an easy way to make the code that someone might do, they could make a custom sprite that loads a different map if it's in the room.

Adding new minimaps is not difficult at all. Adding new areas would be a big coding project. Personally, I don't think adding new areas is worth it when you can make a great hack with the existing areas.

If the areas do not have a size limit you can just keep expanding and label the map to make them look like seperate areas.
