Nice bump...Anyway, I don't want people ripping GFX from my hack. It wasn't easy ripping from GBA games and some SNES games + most of the GFX can't even be ripped from my hack properly unless you spend some hours redoing them because I use M16-7k... |

Wow. Just... awesome. So,   *searching for my copy of rlm* can I have a copy of it? |

Holy Shit. Well, that's just sexy.
Apart from the issues already said, I have one suggestions: Make the snow lots of little 1x1 or 2x2 pixel blobs, and have them float down in a back-and-forth pattern. It'd be a little harder to do, but it would look much better. |

The level design and look is quite nice. The graphics are stunning.
The only thing that bothers me is that they're all rips clashing together in one hack. Different game rips with different backgrounds and Mario image leaves a very, very large ackward looking level. The rips, though nice, are waaaaay overused. Its as if each level consisted of more rips. |

The screenshots are very nice indeed. Some areas just look too colourful; sometimes similar colours, like a darker cave, might fit together, sometimes some more "paint" is nice.
A good example is the usage of the screenshot with AoS tilesets, that one with the waterfall. Mainly blue and only Mario's red cap is the only contrast. I'm not pleased about the background in one of the volcano levels. The sky goes over to a pink colour, I just think the difference is too heavy between yellow <-> pink. But that's just me, that doesn't mean you will have to change everything. Different people have different opinions about this. As for the overworld, I am amazed about those tiles below the grass ones (I don't know the name for these), which are the vertical sides of these islands. The grass itself also is neat. On the main map a slightly darker green might fit better, it seems a bit too bright for me. If you need another overworld tile ideas, you might try Rudora no Hihou for SFC, it is an RPG. Aside from the overworld (which is mainly nice due to the perfect mountain alignement, if placed several of these) it features nice tilesets like in the Clock Tower (metal tiles on the floor) or the Glacier Mountain. Of course these are from top view, since it is a role playing game, but for 16 bit and on SNES, these are top notch. |

Ice man...
You... Are... M3n! These screens are just... damn. 
It's a remarkable surprise to see these screens after 3 weeks without internet! |

oh. haha. i never thought about that |

I know how to use m16-7k, lol. I even wrote a tutorial for it. It's just, not all tiles are getting optimized for GBA games because of the colors. Sure it optimizes alot of tiles for SNES games because the backgrounds normally use 16 colors.  |
| wtfweb Posts: 75/124 |
ohh. yeah i kinda misunderstood what you were saying with the "that's just wrong" comment.
but anyway, just as clarification, m16-7k shouldn't produce any more tiles than the number of tiles that are used in the actual game you're ripping graphics from. this is because (as long as your pcx file has the tiles lined up correctly) pic2snes will optimize the 8x8 tiles by throwing out re-used ones. for example, the last time i ripped a background (it a sky background from yoshi's island), pic2snes optimized several hundred extra tiles, leaving me with a little less than 128 tiles (a perfect amount for just one exgfx file) |

Read the posts before.  He thought I would insert the graphics with m16-7k but I don't + ripping from GBA games is easier with this method as m16-7k will produce A LOT of tiles which won't fit into 2 ExGFX files.  |

You have to use d4s's HDMA kit. The new Nintendo screen is just and extra feature. |

What you do to get the nintedndo tiles so spacious. Anything I could do do get something like that? |

Originally posted by Ice ManOriginally posted by Kapow I meant the graphics on those platforms, not where Mario was positioned. Let me try this again. If you have an angled view of the floor, like in the screenshots I mentioned, Mario should be here: 
In the middle. Not at the top or the bottom. Middle = correct. |

I know..... |
| Ice Man Posts: 268/348 |
Kailieann, I think that would look stupid. I think I'm going to redo the castle somehow anyway.
@Omega: Yea, I know now what he meant, but that would just look stupid. >8( |
| Omega Posts: 298/361 |
I think this is what he means:
He wants this: 
instead of this:
[the red stick being Mario] (sorry for the crappy SS) |
| Kailieann Posts: 330/808 |
If the water moves mario, shouldn't he be behind it, instead of.. y'know.. in front of it |
| Ice Man Posts: 267/348 |
Originally posted by Kapow That doesnt make any sense to me. You say Mario should be in the middle of the "floor" graphics but then again you say the Volcano Plat 4 are the worst, though mario IS in the middle. Originally posted by Kapow The water moves Mario, though I could change the graphics. |

That's how they're supposed to be. |
