Porymap for Linux

Porymap is a map editor made for Linux that works with Pokémon Generation 3 decompilation projects.

It helps users edit many parts of these projects, such as map tiles, collision settings, events, connections between maps, and map properties.

It also includes tools to edit tilesets and region maps, making it a useful tool for those working on these specific types of Pokémon game projects.

This software is similar to Advance Map, a popular map editor for traditional Gen 3 binary ROM hacking.

If you have used Advance Map before, you will find Porymap easy to use because it offers many of the same features.

One new feature Porymap has is the ability to undo and redo changes when painting map tiles, which helps reduce mistakes and makes map editing smoother.

Porymap does not open or save data directly from the original game ROM files.

Instead, it works with files from the decompilation projects, so you need to use Git for version control to manage your changes safely.

This means you cannot use it on regular Pokémon ROM files without first converting them into a decompilation project.

Because Porymap focuses only on Gen 3 decompilation projects, it might not be useful for other Pokémon generations or hacking types.

However, for users interested in Gen 3 projects on Linux, Porymap offers a solid map editing tool with useful features and improved ease of use compared to older editors.

It fits well for people who want a safe, reliable editor that supports detailed map work without handling raw ROM files directly.
