| Awesome title screen. What would it look like if you changed the "Zelda" letters to the more modern version used in the GBA port? You know, the one that looks more like the "Zelda" letters from OoT onward? |

| How about making every other pixel in the title screen black and transparent. That way it's transparent and it'll look kinda gray, almost like OoT. And it'll be easier to read the text. And in the new title screen, couldn't you put a lake or pound or just some water somewhere? That way the field wouldn't look so plain. You could change the forest graphics in the title screen too!

Here's a screengrab of the official "Zelda" letters change in the GBA version. Actually, it looks like they drew it smaller than the SNES letters, but the general style is there.  (edited by Dart Zaidyer on 04-03-05 04:47 AM) |

I mean kinda like this:   Something like that would be good, if you don't see: copy the pic and zoom in. (I cared about fixing 'lift' and 'pull'  )(edited by KTurbo on 04-04-05 07:34 AM) |

Originally posted by KTurbo the idea is good, but i'd rather make bg 3 translucent. or maybe make bg 1, 2 and the sprites darker when in the menu, like a fadeout, but not completely black. thatd look nice for sure. for a translucent bg3 youd have to remove bg2 from the mainscreen in order to keep transparent clouds etc from turning opaque. a nice way to do this is: (as seen in bahamut lagoon) -disable colour addition halfing (register $2131, bit 6) -enable fixed colour addition (register $2130, bit 1) -simultanously increase mosaic register value and decrease fixed colour for addition. fading out all bgs and sprites except for bg3 is much simpler and involves just the cgadsub register you can write to anytime through the buffer at $7E:009A. actually, this could be quite a nice and rewarding task for an asm newbie. hint: a good spot to hook your stuff up is sneslo $0D  E59. |

Originally posted by KTurboI have tried to edit the tiles manually via the GFX. But since the menu re-use corner tiles, it doesn't look too good, see:  So there are only two options left using that method... either black out the corners (doesn't look good through):  Or make the borders smaller:  I'll probably just end up using another method. As for the title screen itself, I'll probably keep the trees like that but add something from a river to houses or something so it doesn't look plain. Originally posted by Dart ZaidyerI'll see if I'll change it. I'll try at first and post the results later on if it looks good. But I still want the "zelda" logo to be blue through. Originally posted by d4sLooks like a hard thing to do for a newbie but I'll give a hand at deciphering those. No mather what, this is probably going to be the best alternative for the menus. |

 I like the menu this way. What about making the text more bold? |

| I don't like that one. You might as well take everything away and just have the items appear. | |||

| Instead of just trying to revamp the item selection screen: why don't you alter it and change the appearance completely around eh? |

In case you haven't seen his work on that side, here's two screens: Euclid's alteration The menus are a lot better that way and I'm working on a similar style that's still is in the works. |

| Yes they're real although i post them on TEK on april 1st. Here's one with the magic bar used a bit.  I have experimented with that tranlucent bg3, but you know what the problem is? Message boxes for the text will appear the same as well since they're on the same bg (or you could set it back). Plus I don't see what's the problem with the black bg. |

I was bored with all these interface changes, so I re-did some more overworld editing again.. Still need to fix under the bridge colision with the land through.  I had a hard time finding the right palettes for the snow, due to the interface colors. They still need some work through and I'll probably change some tiles around.  Snow again, still I'm thinking about having grass/snow instead of cliff/snow. Would work better.   The naming screen looks quite healty and less dark. Althrough the palettes and textures ain't quite finished. As for the hack itself.. I haven't work on it that much since weeks (Don't have much time School/Work.) So it might get delayed later this year/early next. But no need to worry since you guys going to play Omega and DM's hack anyway in a few months since he's about to finish it.

Euclid, you are teh master Love the way Gates of Time is coming on, although I do agree that the cliff/snow combination looks a bit odd, maybe it would work better with grass. (edited by The Arkichef on 04-09-05 08:52 AM) |

Originally posted by The ArkichefI agree. Something about it doesn't seem quite right, but it's probably just that I'm used to the old look, and if it's not then I'm certain it will get ironed out. Very nice work. |

| This is starting to remind me of some stuff I've seen in Zelda Classic now. Very nice, I've only seen the use of snow or ice in one demo Zelda hack at least a year ago. Just wondering, did you figure out how to change the layout for the screen elements yet (or an April Fools joke)? The new pictures you just posted doesn't have them, but the one before that does (with the rupees in the bottom left and a horizonal magic meter). I just wasn't sure, but everything seems pretty good sofar. |

| Very clean overworld design. And the interim Heads-up-display is also refreshing. (But I kinda miss the indigo outline on the equipped Item display... That harkens to later Zelda games where it's color-coded to the proper button on the controller.) Some comments: The fences look like they're caked over with several layers of thick, thick moss. What's that about? The snow really clashes and fights with the brown surroundings in that one shot. I definitely agree that grass might work better. |
