Back on topic… I added a couple more details on how it loads the map. Namely:
1. How it builds the “tiles” from small tiles.
2. How it loads the palette.
That should be everything we need to know to (eventually) get it into DoaEditor. The only problem being the “warp” issue I talked about before.
All the gory details: http://doaerhguide.wikidot.com/start#toc15
Palettes galore!
Palettes are stored in these locations.

The remaining locations after these are other palettes (officer status screen, text etc…)
Swtching the graphics/palette for some places to “Burnt Luo Yang” produces interesting results. Now you can burn down whatever town you like :twisted:
Burnt Xu Zhou:
Who burned down Tao Qian’s castle? Those bastards!
Sadly, switching the real burnt Luo Yang’s graphics/palette to a normal town doesn’t really fix it:
0x7C5FF & 0xFC5FF (World Map): 00 0F 27 29 1A 0F 00 30 29 0F 17 37 29 0F 20 31 11
Can’t wait to play around with this one! Good find.
Looks like burnt Luo Yang is missing a few bridge graphics :P

Those bastards burnt the bridge too! :-x

Upon closer inspection, the series of hex is nearly identical to that of modifying sprite colors.
Ice Caves!!! :huohu:
What would be awesome is if we could make encounters specific to caves rather than just pulling from the region that the last battle was fought in.

I believe this is very doable but I’d have to look at it further. Another idea I had was to allow you to have different colored towns and caves. So maybe your ice cave could be a special once in a game kind of thing.
Yeah, I did notice how the floor is shared amongst other caves, like as parts of walls and treasure chests and stuff. Making each town unique would certainly require some expansion on the code.
Trying to edit snow on the world map also had this same effect as that palette is also used for castle gfx and mountains.

Just colors wouldn’t be so bad I don’t think.
These new gfx make a lot more sense for Xu Zhe’s cave :P
It was a shame when that volcano erupted near Xu Zhou
