I never understood why the people made Link with pink hair, when he has blonde hair. There were only few people with Zelda 3 hacks, only one I'm really following, besides this one now, is Zelda 3 Quest for Calatia which looks awesome now. |

ok time to answer some questions.
Metal Knuckles --- That sound pretty good I've been having trouble finding a way to mix action+impresive editing+no spoilers all in one so just giving out edited GFX from the original seems like a good idea to me. RedFlameZero --- Personally I haven't given it much thought I haven't even finished Hyrule Castle yet so I'll let you know when I decide. Omega45889 --- Ok what I meant was I'll EDIT every sprite in the game for example most common enemies will be changes to something I like better (ex: making the LTTP Octorocks into the Zelda 1 SNES ones or editing the knights heads) OR puting in smother shading (ex: on the bushes they only use 2 out of the 3 possible colers and I have a feeling other things do the same) acillatem98 --- I wanted to do a hack few people have done and everyone would like no matter what I did. That left me with Super Metroid, Yoshi's Island, and Zelda 3. I chose Zelda 3. As far as my determindness to edit everything. Well I had no intention to at first at best I'll make Links hair blond (first thing I did to  ) but then I saw what everyone else was doing and well...I just didn't want to be at the bottom of the barrel I want people to love my hack like the other 4 out there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last thing from now on I will put all my picture updates on my first post so as anyone who comes to this thread will see them right off the bat. Just keep in mind after awile it can get image heavy but I'm sure that it will be worth the wait. |

From all this talk, this game is going to kick ass. Zelda 3, being my favorite game of all time, you're awesome for doing this hack or even attempting it. I don't know how anyone else thinks, but changing EVERY graphic or sprite is insane. In my opinion, some graphical changes are fine, but finishing the game should come first as I haven't seen too many finished hacks of Zelda 3. Great job though. |

Speaking from personal experience, i would hold off on making promises of replacing every sprite in the game. That is going to be extremely difficult to do and make it look good. Other than that, i am looking forward to it. |

 thx for awncering my Question ... but one still plagues my mind .... What about beta Testing??? will be a Select Beta or a Open beta? |
| Metal Knuckles Posts: 174/412 |
It would probably be better to just release screenshots of your progress graphics-wise and only release demos when gameplay has been changed (ie layouts, enemy health, ect). It will keep interest in your hack, and at the same time won't rush you to make anything that is playable.
... Did that sound bad to anyone else? Anyways, another thing I thought I'd toss in here is maybe instead of including links to the images from your hack, you should include the screenies on the thread itself. By no means does this mean that you have to attatch an image, just link to the image with a [img] *link to image* [/ img]. Not that I'm saying you don't know how to or that you have to, but it might draw a little more attention to the hack if people saw the progress right on the update page. |

Needless to say at that time I thought I'll make a level only hack and be happy with it....Well I changed my mind. I'm going all out on this. On that note I'm sorry but I can't help but laugh at the idea that I'll be done by this summer. I'll concider myself lucky if I finish the Light World (or present) by then. BUT!!! I will say this after I finish the first 3 dungeons and the first battle with Agahim I will release a demo of the game....maybe....I'm still deciding on what the happy medium for realesing stuff will be. I mean I don't want to realese so much that No one will like my game cause there's so much already out there YET I also don't want to relese so little that people are planning on finding my house and beating me untill I post more screenshots. So I'm kinda stuck on that point but I'm still trying. As far as garantees are concerned I WILL NOT giva a set date for a finished release I have too many stresses already. I'm hoping if anything I might...MIGHT!!! have it done by the summer of 07. I will however give you this once I finish Hyrule Castle and the GFX that far I will relese a demo for that far and as for that if my luck holds out should be finished about the end of April. (GFX takes time but I'm almost done with the castle) Untill then I'll do what I can to keep ya posted on my progress through my GFX hacking |

Originally posted by RedFlameZero OK in my hack I plan on going as all out as I can. Text will be completly rewritten. ALL backgrounds will be changed to look better in whatever way. (I've so far based some a litle off Minish Cap but I'm haveing good luck getting some stuff from Golden Sun.) ALL sprites will be changed. (Yeah most of these will be compleate custom sprites) All overworld and dungeons will be changed. (Well duh that was my plan in the begining) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ What I am NOT going to do because I have no knowledge of ASM of HEX. New characters (no I'm gonna edit whats there and be happy with that) New enemies (I don't even thing thats possible) New items (speaks for itself) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This last part on the other hand I've debated doing or being able to do. Sience some long cave systems are pretty useless at times I was thinking of making a mini-dungeon like the Ice Cavern or Kariko Well from Ocarina of Time. Simply put I'm not and Cannot make anything new. I can only edit whats already there. Its by how much I edit it will say how good this hack is. |
| RedFlameZero Posts: 105/276 |
... hey Omega? what are you gonna be like adding new items, Charicters, Enamys??  |
| Megaman-Omega Posts: 104/205 |
OK I my rom still has its problems with extracting the GFX but thats not stopping me from messing around with the graphics. As of a few days ago I have decided that I will change EVERY object in my hack. Going from changing it to something completly different or giving it more shades to it EVERYTHING will be changed. I'll show you some here and there but little to nothing of the Dark World (or future) (don't wanna give away any spoilers  )
Needless to say heres what I've finished now just the Bushes, Bush-Stumps, and Trees but its a start right. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f225/Megaman-Omega/Legend%20of%20Zelda%20The%20Eye%20of%20the%20Cataclysm/NewGFX-001.png PS --- By the way yes that is the original It's the best and onlt way to test it. |

Cool info,Orochimaru...I'll try it..... |
| Megaman-Omega Posts: 99/205 |
 ......Orochimaru you are a god-send YY-CHR works like a charm but there is one minor problem.
As you said snestl12 would be able to fix the problem with my hack and as I follow your directions compleatly but when I click on "Delete Header" the words *Wrong file size" come up and then I can't do anything else. Something like that still happens when I try to insert the GFX back in after everything in the end I get "Too many parameters!". I hope this helps because I really don't want to have to rstart this hack. PS --- RedFlameZero don't spam here. |

... wow my head hurts now >.< |
| Megaman-Omega Posts: 91/205 |
ok it seems to have worked but what do I do with the .bin file I've downloaded a couple of things that should work but they won't open the file for whatever reason. So is there something that everyone out there uses that works that I can have a link to or something?
PS --- when decompressing the file I could only decompress an original LOZ lttp it wouldn't let be do it to my already edited version I'm guessing because of the size went up 4 Kb but will I still run into the same problem when I want to reinsert the file or am I going to have to start all over on this Hack again? |
| Megaman-Omega Posts: 88/205 |
Ok I've got it working but everytime I try to put in one of the commands all I get is this
'zcompress' is not reconized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.  Ummm what?
I put in the zcompress program then press "enter" then I type in the command that should decompress the file but I get that /|\ What am I doing wrong? |
| NEONswift Posts: 69/150 |
Click START -> Run and type in "cmd" to bring up the command prompt. You then either type location of zcompress or drag in the icon from which ever folder its in. Id recommend dragging it in as when youre working with multiple files like .bin .smc and zcompress itself it doesnt become confusing.
zcompress does not have a gui so youll need to read the readme to learn how to decompress and recompress the graphics back into the Zelda 3 rom. Also using Zcompress completely cuts out any complications with zelda 3 rom memory errors that occasionally appear in Hyrule Magic. Also HM wont inexplicably crash for no apparent reason. |
| Megaman-Omega Posts: 86/205 |
Ok thekins it probably should work but the compresser's in DOS format and my Laptop won't open up DOS files (the window pops up for less than a second then dissapears like nothing happened) is there one that runs in Windows or can someone tell me whats up with my computer cause the Windows help file doesn't work
(Computer --- insert a flopy-disk and format it to Dos format Me --- There isn't even a floppy drive on this thing) And yes I googled it and Checked Zophars domain no luck |
