Yeah... it's a little late. I've run completely out of room for TSA stuff on that level. I can't really add anything else... actually I'm pretty close to full on every level. |

Maybe its a little late for this, but have u ever thought of adding a big spider web to the end of the 1st level? I think it would look alot more awesome seeing that spider descending down one of those. |

Allright, give me a chance to release the most recent version (I had to fix a problem in level 2...) and I'll definately be all about that. |

I wonder what you will do to CV3 when you get started on that. That game gots heck alot of grphics. Alot more levels too. I don't think anyone has made a complete hack of it yet so if you finish that then you might be the first.
gogo Sire
Thadd did an impressive gfx hack. It's on Zophar's.
And there's Zeit d |

Thanks, I decided to make the green tops on them when I realized that the green color set I used for the floors had a touch of grey in it, so it fit in. Sadly the giant doors never open. I just put them at the ends of levels to spice them up a bit (normally they just have a normal sized door) |

That's what I find myself doing, Hiro. Not too elegant, but it works.
And Mario, those green-helmeted skulls in the last screenshot look great! As does the huge door in the first shot. Does the whole thing open, or only the bottom? |

Nice screens.
I don't use that tile arranger myself. I just take a rom I don't need. And I erase all the graphics. And rename it "a clipboard" And I put all the tiles I need there. Plus I can save those graphics there if I ever need them again. Tile arranger dont do that. |

I'll be more than glad to start a new one if we can stop talking about it in the thread about my demo release lol SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I decided to post a couple of screens of stuff in the demo and stuff that has been improved on.
The first boss fight
Some Clock Tower stuff
Updates from after the demo release:
The Tunnel areas have a blocky looking part where it gets dark, this is the smoother new version
New Death fight |

I've actually downloaded Tile Molester, but since I only hack NES and SNES games, I haven't seemed to need all those tile formats that it handles yet.
It would be nice to see a tile arranger (TLP style) where you could paste a bitmap that you'd drawn yourself, and then manually move the tiles to the ROM. TLP does the opposite, pasting your bitmap into the ROM without giving you a chance to rearrange the tiles, unless you paste it into a backup file, then rearrange the tiles with the Tile Arranger window, then drag them to the original. Surely there's a better way! |

I reccomend Tile Molester. It has become my graphics editor of choice.
Here's a small thread about it (it was updated recently) over at TEK.

Also, as a secondary choice, i use TilEd 2002, just because it's fairly easy to use (but not as powerful as Tile Molester). Try them out.

I'm a devoted TLP user (after discarding DirectEd) and would love to hear about the merits of other graphic editors. If there's another thread about them, post a link here. |

Can we make a new thread about TLP concerns? (I mean unless there already is one or something, to tell you the truth I don't even look at the stickied messages anymore) and stick to the topic. |

Im kinda attatched to tlp myself. I like the ability to have multiple roms open so I can import graphix or compare them.
How would you do that thing to line up the sprites with tlp?
That would speed up my Super mario land hack for sure. Editing the title screen is a nightmare cause the sprites are definately not lined up. |

Yeah, I figured you can with TLP, I was just advising him to try out YY-CHR. Once you get accustomed to it, I think it's far more effiecient. Onto the game though. I'm releasing a public Beta. The levels aren't done, and I want to know about any bugs, and any suggestions anyone might have for level designs.
If anyone REALLY needs screens I can post a few if you ask, but I actually got into the game so I didn't really take a decent amount.

You can do the same with TLP.  I didn't realise that people considered the sprites pattern table to be elusive or something, otherwise I'd have released all the offsets and stuff for it. One of these days, I should compile a huge document of Castlevania stuff. |

Don't use TLP first off, use YY-CHR, I will never stop singing that program's praises.
In YY-CHR you have to keep hitting the minus key where the title screen is untill the picture lines up correctly and then you can look for the sprites. |
