Since my Super Mario Bros Transparent hack was getting positive feedback, I decided to start another transparent hack:




Only Megaman is transparent so far. Is this a good idea for another transparent hack?

Looks cool. Does it make it so that whenever he passes by things, you can see right through megamans body at whatever background is behind him ?
Besides blue

I dunno, Megaman's graphics are a bit more complex than something like a Mario game. You can always give it a shot, just don't go nuts with a bunch of hacks like this else your original will lose it's novelty.

Blue Megaman outline + blue background = bad.

It doesn't look quite bad... I do think Santa ( ) has a point.

Unfortunately, I'd have to agree. Almost every level has at least one blue background (with the exception of Fire Man and some Wily levels). It might be still worth doing, though.

Eh, it's just a graphic hack. Go crazy with it. I think making Megaman's outline black, and surrounding it in a layer of white would be a nice idea. it'd be easier to see. Just my 2 cents.

I think you should try to do a real hack, not just make some stuff transparent.

The black outline would, without a doubt, look better but I want megaman to change color when he selects a different weapon. Besides I'm not going to spend alot of time on this hack. The people want level hacks and thats what I'm trying to concentrate on now.

Man, FUCK the people. You aren't incapable of doing something because you want/like to do it. Don't fall into the kind of trap where you only hack to gain some kind of fame or whatever. That generally makes for drama on yoru end in the long run.

Besides, as a general rule nothing is worth doing if you aren't doing it for yourself in the first place.

I rather play Megaman anniversery collection for Gamecube than this transparent hack. My current megaman hack I like to play is Megaman ultra. That is a real hack.

You rather make some levels or let's move on.

You did the Super Mario Bros transparent and it was cool and unusual. I liked that, but this is just milking the cow for all it's worth... >> Try for something new.

I know I already said something like this on this thread but, I will probably cancel this hack anyway. I am not saying this because most of you said I should do something different with my hacks. But because I just want to. And besides, everyone here is giving me crap about SMB transparent. I have a SMB level hack half done. I will release the demo soon on a new thread.

I agree.

In all honesty Shane, I was surprised that your transparent mario hack got all the positive feedback it did. It was kind of neat looking - I could tell that it didn't take much work, but you didn't claim that it was the best hack this board has ever seen either, so I didn't see that you did anything wrong. I was actually kind of glad to see that you weren't getting flamed for it, which is usually the response that sort of hack gets on this board.

Around here, there are people who aren't satisfied until they see someone thouroghly trashed for a creating a quick-and-simple hack like your own, so there was an inevitable, huge, but strangely delayed backlash. Don't let it get to you. I agree that you should probably start editing levels - and definitely don't start pumping out simple graphics hacks, one right after the next and posting each one in their own thread. But don't do anything purely for recognition, especially not to get it from people around here. There are people who take this kind of stuff way too seriously - make a point not to become one of them.
