Octomap
This is another Gold/Silver/Crystal disassembly map editor very much inspired by PolishedMap. This was developed more for nostalgic reasons than anything, really — trying to get a feel for the old style of tools while working with the new stuff. I really wanted to combine what I know now with the feeling of working on this niche for the first time. Also, I couldn't compile PolishedMap :p
It also just so happens to double as a ““functioning”” map editor.
Features
- Unified map and event editing
- Configurable text editor support (supports Sublime Text, XTE [use Sublime syntax], Notepad++, VSCode [attempted])
- Load/save map, event and metatile load paths
- Load path guessing (that doesn't assume Makefiles... idk)
- Built-in help... kinda.
- Easily runs on most systems...? I guess?
- Supports both old-style and new-style syntax (
db *vsdef_*_events) - Supports commenting and uncommenting events from the map editor (here, referred to as “toggling visibility”)
- Some amount of UI customization through Preferences

Using it on Windows XP
- Ensure you've got a browser that works with the latest HTTPS sites. I recommend the latest compatible version available of the big browsers, or MyPal.
- Get Python 3.4.4 (last known XP-compatible version): https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.4.4/python-3.4.4.msi
- Get Pillow 3.4.0 for Windows (picked at random, somehow works): https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/35/b9/92a32a70a97126aa8fecdd7c1be4e0fbb9b77fc5ecddaa00ab39922dc73c/Pillow-3.4.0.win32-py3.4.exe
- Install Python as usual.
- Install Pillow from the .exe (might be more reliable than using pip)
- Type in this URL: https://github.com/ZoomTen/Octomap/archive/refs/heads/master.zip, extract the folder within, somewhere easy to find on your file system.
- Double-click on octomap.py.
- If you wish, you can create a shortcut to it on desktop.
