Was wondering why this was never done before.
Probably because it is rather complicated and hacky to do. I had to prevent certain level scripts from starting upon map initialization in order to keep the game from breaking. A less faithful but more simple way to create a similar addon would be to use text screens like in between hubs, but instead one for each level.
Now this is very interesting.
I was wondering if it would be possible to do this by presenting the texts with a screenshot of each corresponding map instead of the red background thing. I know it's unlike the N64 version, but it's not a bad idea.
Yes that would be certainly possible and definitely not a bad idea. Probably would be best to make them a lower image resolution like 640x400 to prevent excessive file sizes. Will consider it in future versions.
I really, really like this.
It's such a small thing, but it adds a lot of RPG flavor to the game.
Well done.
