Hey, I'm having a current problem trying to get the background from Neon tigers stage in Mega Man X3 to appear correctly in my hack, when I insert it in my hack using m16k trick in Lunar Magic the damn background either over runs tiles, trash like or has tiles that have scanlines in them.

2 years ago I think Ice Man got it to work in his hack but since then he has forgotten how he got it to work properly.

It's not a request, but would someone tell me what the size and color depth this background should be ? the normal 254x224 isn't cutting it for this background.



EDIT
I almost have it working but it is still over running my ground tiles plus I had to increase the BG size to 279x249. any help would be great.
Also I'm not getting a answer at smwcentral thats why I posted here.

I never said I forgot how to make it work. I can still hack SMW, I just don't feel like it currently. The standard size for background is 256x224 not 254 in width.

The layer2 BG pics used by SMW are much bigger than 1 screen. I believe its 512x448. So you'll have to manually tile the rest of the BG in. Remember that you can use the normal cut/paste/copy functions while in the BG editor.

No, one screen is 256x224 for SNES. Really. You did it for 4 screens.

1 row = 224
2 rows = 448

1 screens = 256
2 screens = 512

So yours is basically 4 screen, lmao.

you could always do like I (used to) do. use rlm to unlock hacks w/ good graphics and extract the ExGFX files and palettes... Of course now I've found it better to draw my own. Using ripped graphics is stupid, because all the different graphics you rip from all these different games dont use the same graphical style, which doesnt work well for a game.
