Pokemon DS Map Studio is a tool for creating NDS Pokémon maps, designed to be used alongside SDSME.
It doesn't require 3D modeling knowledge. Rather, it provides a tilemap-like interface that is automatically converted to a 3D model. Please note that this tool DOES NOT allow modification of maps from official games.
As soon as you resave your existing PDSMAP files with this new version, backward compatibility with other PDSMS versions (including Trifindo's vanilla PDSMS) will most likely be lost. This is due to the additional 3D layer, and the new "exportgroup" and "egcenter" keywords in PDSMAP files, necessary to make Export Groups work.

Pokemon DS Map Studio has been tested under Windows, Linux and MacOS.
The Windows release includes a Java runtime and can be started with Pokemon DS Map Studio.exe without installing Java. The portable release requires Java 11 or newer.
Pokemon DS Map Studio can be executed by double clicking the "PokemonDsMapStudio.jar" file.
If it doesn't open, try typing the following command in a terminal:
java -jar PokemonDSMapStudio.jarand look at the output. If you don't fully understand that, please open an issue in the appropriate section of this repository.
On Linux, the installation can be done directly in an automated way, just open a terminal and type:
sh -c "$(wget -O- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AdAstra-LD/Pokemon-DS-Map-Studio/master/pdsms-linux.sh)"If you wish to export .nsbmd files, place your legally obtained g3dcvtr.exe in the release's converter folder. The release creates this folder and includes the supporting DLL and setup instructions, but cannot redistribute g3dcvtr.exe.
