Riku Sledge Brother Unpredictable. Watch your backs. Or not. Whichever. I want Metal Gear Solid 4 so badly.                   Since: 11-17-05 From: Tompkinsville Last post: 6299 days Last view: 6299 days |

| Yeah, screenshots tend to have the problem of not being an adequate representation of anything. And yet people demand them just the same. Makes no sense to me. | |||

Something about this seems very bland. I think I know why he thinks it looks "bland" besides the fact that it is just a screenshot, take a look at the background, it is a plain navy blue, maybe add something into it, like a ghost ship, or misty clouds, something to spice it up |

| I think the BG is being used for layer 2... *sees the tip os a grey pipe in the water*
You could always use layer 3 water in that part so you can have a BG... or you could make the BG black and say 'lights out!' |

| It has a background, it's just being obscured by the foreground. Look, you can partway see a cloud.
Layer 2 totally isn't being used for water. The water is on layer 1. (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 03-11-06 05:53 PM) |

This hack looks really great so far  I like a lot about it, but I see a few bugs I should point out to you...
Directly in the middle of the water, theres a little white rectangular thing sticking out of surface. Is that a glitch, or just a submerged object? 
This is one of my favorites. I love the background fence - you did a frickin excellent job on the detail. Superb 
I like the concept of this. It looks like you have to jump from really high to push the platform down to get the key. Nice idea
This is nice, but you should really add coin blocks/coins/something. As it is now, it looks a bit plain. Unless of course there WERE coins that you already got
The overworld looks fantastic. But two lil things: 1. The way the small islands touch the water looks weird. Theres like...a little smidgen of brown in there that looks strange. Would it be possible to change that to green. (if you dont get what I mean let me know) 2. The palette of the small, far-right green decorative island in the water looks funky. Great work other than that. As for your two first OW screenies, they look superb. I found nothing to complain about on them, aside from the fact that the cemetery Mario paths look a little odd (thats probably just me  )
Awesome job. Sorry for the long post, but I hope it helped you...or something  Can't wait for the demo |

| "Directly in the middle of the water, theres a little white rectangular thing sticking out of surface. Is that a glitch, or just a submerged object?"
That's the cloud I mentioned earlier. I should probably shift the background up several tiles. "I like the concept of this. It looks like you have to jump from really high to push the platform down to get the key. Nice idea "
Wrong It's actually fairly obvious when you play the game. The platform doesn't start there, it rises from further down. You have to find a way to get to it before it passes above the keyhole.
"This is nice, but you should really add coin blocks/coins/something. As it is now, it looks a bit plain. Unless of course there WERE coins that you already got "
Coins actually aren't terribly plentiful in my hack. They're mainly used as a tool to lead the way... Though, they do appear regularly at quite a few points. Nothing here though. But that section is fairly short and immediately afterward stuff happens. "The overworld looks fantastic. But two lil things:" "2. The palette of the small, far-right green decorative island in the water looks funky. " That's not supposed to be there. I should've removed it; I forgot. As for the islands I can probably edit the graphic files to make that work. Also, whoo, look at everyone miss a horrid mistake in paletting in one of these screenshots! Good thing I caught it just now. Heh. Edit: I dunno,  perhaps?(edited by Alastor the Stylish on 03-11-06 08:06 PM) (edited by Alastor the Stylish on 03-11-06 08:54 PM) |

Hello 5 world demo So yeah. Not a lot to say here. I'm not exactly extremely confident in the level design for worlds 4 and 5; I figure a few levels need the kinks worked out of them, and I can do that best if I get responses from you guys. In the mean time, enjoy, and keep a note of anything particularly noticable. I know the title screen sucks. Don't mention that. I apparently can't draw, and no one has offered to help without dropping out of existance shortly thereafter.

| Fantastic hack! The only problem I found was many, many flaws with overworld events, with garbled graphics in place of things that're supposed to be appearing. This may be my own problem, caused by fast forwarding the ROM on ZSNES, but it may be a problem with the hack itself. | |||

Originally posted by MikeOShay No, that's definitely a problem relating to either the use of savestates or the use of the speed up key. It has nothing to do with the hack itself.  |

I need a mod to change this thread to say that there's a five-world demo contained within... |

| I have only made it to the cemetary without finding all the secret exits, but I did find some problems with the hack.
1. Once you get the cape, some of the levels are easily bypassed using it alone. Although the branching levels aren't so easily avoided, the one-way levels (levels without a secret exit) are too easy with this method (especially the line-guided level, which I played back again to make sure there weren't problems). 2. Why does the fishing ghost's line consist of the fireballs instead of a fishing line? I was afraid to jump between the ghost and the fire because of the glitch (unless that was what it was supposed to be like...). 3. In Mysterious Castle 4 before the midway, you have to press the "On" switch to raise the water. Above the switch though are two boned fishes out of water. Looks weird... 4. After the midway point in Mysterious Castle 4 and if the player still has the cape, the whole second half of the castle is just going to the right and using the cape. 5. I forget what level (I believe one of the cemetary ones, but I am not sure) there is a time when there are too many ghosts on the screen and one of the ghosts disappears. I am not sure which level, but it was a ghost themed one (obviously). Still, I liked the "boss fights" you had in the game. The coolest one so far was the underwater fight with the Big Boo. Keep working on it. It is turning out good. |

| About the second question:
In Luigi's Adventure 1 or 2 Anikiti used a no-cape block in few places. It prevented the player from soaring up and down (or better, back and forth). You could check BlockTool if it has something similar - and does not only simply change Mario's status. Or simply give the player not enough space to run, like putting blocks or (decorated as rocks maybe) other obstacles in the levels you don't want the player to fly over.

Originally posted by cpubasic13Acknowledged. My rationale for not avoiding this is that I feel if the player wishes to traverse the level as quickly as possible than after a point this should be possible. However, players wishing to truly experience the levels are just as able to do so. I do not see it as being a problem. I understand the issue of convenience. If it ever becomes more fun or less frustrating to simply avoid a level, however, then that is the problem of the level itself and I should not try to hide these flaws, but rather repair them. Originally posted by cpubasic13Thank you for bringing this to my attention. There's a simple reason why this is, really. It's because I screwed up in tweaking the wendy fight for castle 5. I replaced the line in my castle/ghost house hybrid spriteset, which was never supposed to have the fishin' boo in it. Unbenownst to me at the time, however, I had not loaded the ghost tilesets on the places I was using the fishin' boo and had instead had the hybrid GFX active. I'll replace them with the regular ghost ones in those areas - that will solve the problem. Originally posted by cpubasic13It's a skeletal ghost fish. Why does a ghost need water to swim? Originally posted by cpubasic13This is very much intentional. It's a power-based shortcut. It's not like I've never made areas that are easiest with small mario or fire mario. The player should be able to play however they want within the confines of the game, and I do not wish to limit this freedom. Originally posted by cpubasic13That shouldn't be. I was under the impresison I had eliminated the last of such effects. Could you find the level? It would take quite a bit of time for me to go through every ghost level again, testing several play possibilities for different things... More than likely I would just not find anything again, as I know I've already tested them extensively and it is probably due to something you did that I wouldn't think of. |

| Just as a bit of an update.
All my new tilesets are put together, and I'm about halfway through the levels for the next world. So, despite what I've been saying, things are actually going smoothly. |
