:We're still missing some of these from Rescue Team/Explorers, and we haven't started uploading anything from newer games (including the remake). Also can't really upload alternate tilesets for Red/Blue dungeon; in Explorers, they only repeat in Sky-exclusive content (like how Spring Cave reuses tilesets from main story dungeosn) but in Rescue Team it's more comomn; one tileset can be used by multiple dungeons at various parts (for example the Lapis Cave one is also used at one point in Far-off Sea and Wish Cave); the water dungeon are the worst as there's only 3 tilesets they use in total.

::Yeah, I imagine that ripping the stuff out of 3D PMD games would be a nightmare, especially because unlike Gen IV they don't have a built-in orthographic camera that you can hack the game to use (I'm pretty sure that's how they got all of the views of the Gen IV places). I don't know very much about Rescue Team, but Explorers has quite a lot of these special floors (and even more in Sky, too...). Just curious: how did you get them? Did you take multiple screenshots and stitch them together, or go into the game files? Thanks anyway. -- ''[[User:Ben79487|<span style="color:#400000">Ben</span>]][[User talk:Ben79487|<span style="color:#000040">79487</span>]]'' 17:31, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

:::I don't think you even need the orthographic camera, I don't remember Rescue Team or Explorers using any form of pseudo 3D. The maps are from a certain romhacking project that is credited in the file description (at least in some files, will have to recheck everything and add where it's missing).
