I'd say this is the best hack I've ever seen. The OW is usually what ruins a hack, but this one is good. I don't think I'll finish my hack, so maybe you'd like to have a look at my stages and might like to use them? I'm pretty pleased with my OW and level layouts and hopefully, you will be too

There are already some few, as you see on the ground texture and the smallest green hills... and before the next demo is released, I am going to rework the land borders and the areas where walls adjace to water.
Ah yes, *has almost forgot* the filled in dashed blocks on screenie #1 are self-made custom blocks  that can be emptied by toggling the line switch off.

Here goes a new bunch of l33t screenies
Another part of Undersea Ruins. That is about to become the biggest level of SMW: ALTTP so far 
A new overworld part. Overworld GFX editing is "in" now (as for 07-26-04), and I thought I could do that too...
A new castle. Although I have to admit this is more kinda palette test...
What do you think of these?
Have fun,
Blacky.

Hi,
blobby? If you mean smooth, I use the "Kreed's SuperEagle Mode" filter of Snes9x and am just too lazy to turn it off for making screenshots.
YI graphics just look good. SMAS isn't bad, but it just seems old and dusty along with YI. Besides to that, there's always a lot of work going with YI graphics implementation in SMW, like fitting the grass to pipes, blockses and so on.
The demo will still take some more time (I mainly need this for asmhacking, namely the RPG code), but will still go faster because I've recruited two new level designers from my class for making the "dirty" work like regular nothing-happens-plains levels. Together we now founded a w00t romhacking group called "hexagon romhacks". Well, as a little referee, Demo 1 featured world one (ending at Lunar Fortress / island secret area), while Demo 2 will be worlds 1-3 (ending at Ghastly Mountain (Blue Switch Point) / Specular Rock ). Well, I'll come up with some new screenshots soon...
Have fun,
Blacky. |

Why do some people have blobby looking images?
Anyways... It is looking good so far! can't wait to play the demo! 
A lot of people seem to be into the YI graphics nowadays... Would that mean that the All-stars graphics would be considered old-school now? |

@Kirby: ZSNES movie? What is that? I don't use ZSNES, so... well yes, I'll try to find out.
@Coby: The problem is, the GIF wouldn't be that small... and my image host limits file size to 250 KB. Besides to that, lightning only strikes about every 2~10 seconds (dependent on the w00t growth factor parameter for the randomizer)
@knuck: Dreadfully sorry. But, I had the idea already for two years, and some days ago I just started it

blackhole89: You just stole my idea of that day/night system.

*drools*
I wish there was a drooling smiley... this would be the perfect time to use it 
The lightning effect looks nice... I wonder if you sould show us that in action.(ZSNES movie perhaps?)
Day and night system sounds brilliant.... DO NOT DISAPPOINT US!

I like the lightning effect although I'd like to see it in action too. (A small gif perhaps ) and the day-night cycle sounds cool, will it also affect the OW? |

Lightning effect is cool. I hope you implement the day-night cycle, as that would be cool.
And the screens are cool. Good work. |

Plus, if they aren't, why are they blue?
Open level 22 in an unedited SMW rom and tell me why the hills are blue if they aren't water. plis tell me   .

Hi folks,
I spent the day asmhacking, fixed naughty Iggy finally and also finished the lightning code (with a weak, but still random-seeming random numbers algorithm). Here's a screenshot taken during a flash, which takes usually ~5 frames:
Afterwards the normal palette is restored again. As some of you may recognize, I had a glimpse at SD3 (aka SoM2)'s lightning routine (the one you can see at the entrance of Dark Castle aka "Castle of the Dark Family").
The thing I'm currently working on is another SD3 feature port, namely the daylight system. That means, you have 4 palettes (morning, day, evening, night) per level which are slowly faded into each other (using the w00t $0013 frame counter). What do you think about that?
Have fun,
Blacky. |
