World Map Discussion

[Salanewt]

Looks great! It will be great to see how all of the continents look when they look like this.

Edit: It seems a bit small though, as that one continent is supposed to be close to the size of Hesperia.

[Rolina]

That's why he's doing the first one, Sala.  It's the full size one.

[dwkjohn]

yeah. i am having some problems making them look big but I think I can fix that.

[Atrius]

About the dividing it up into a grid, the way the world map is stored in the ROM it's divided up into 256x256 sized chunks, it would probably be a good idea to think of the DC map the same way. 

[Rolina]

Oh, great idea!  I'll work on the grid in a bit - working on switching banks at the moment, and financial stuff is easily more important.  It may be tomorrow that I get this out, so be patient, I'll try to work as fast as I can.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!! Stupid parents. 60 more seconds and I could have dragged the last mountain range to the right spot and saved it to my nook so I could be attatching it to this post right now! Gaaaah! but ill get it here in the morning. it looks awesome. I fixed the size issue too. I have a nice little crook for the sprite for the mountain entrance. I had an idea for the sprite. yeah its not original or creative and yes I know the colors are wrong. I will fix that if anyone likes it. which I doubt because of its unoriginality ( is that a word?) but whatever. just thought I'd post it.

"Final Boss"?  That doesn't look glitchy or corrupted or nothing.  Is that just a mis-named file?

Edit: See changes to first post.  Also, posting these:

[Salanewt]

Sprite: Not bad! I remember doing something with the Lemuria sprite when I was playing around with them a while ago. Yours looks decent, but it may need a bit more work if you are up to the task. Of course, it looks like you can do it successfully.

First Post: Great, thanks for working on the grid! Something seems a bit off with it though. Using the first map, shouldn't each box be 257x257? Unless we are going to draw over the lines used to make the grid, of course. That, and the boxes on the far right seem to be a bit narrow. Other than that, excellent work so far.

Edit: Something that I forgot, but I have an idea. Should we see if we can import some new instruments for these areas? Each continent should have its own theme, but several of the locations could use one or two instruments that none of the other regions have. These would have to be new instruments though, as the ones that already exist should be available for use everywhere. Just something random that I thought of before I forget it.

oops. that was a while back. meant to be chaos or corruption sprite. it was something I was thinking of using a while back.

[Rolina]

Okay, finally done posting all the grids and what not!  See my first three posts for all of them!

[MaxiPower]

Is the conversion from Salas map being handled by John then? I have plenty of free time if not...

or is it safe to assume you's are still working on terrain?

Looking good anyway, good work with the grids Role.

[Rolina]

Thanks.

Right now, nothing's being converted until we add things to convert.  Find a group of sections you want to edit, edit them, post them, tell us what they are, and if we like it, we'll probably keep it.

[dwkjohn]

I finished what I think is what the middle continent should look like GS style. let me know what you think. also, I tweaked the sprite I posted earlier. I won't correct the colors to match the correct palette unless people like it. otherwise its a waste of time. let me know what you think. sorry I forgot to rename it, Role. it doesn't really matter though.

[Griever]

Looks nice, but i have something to point, what is the point of connecting the island to another if the river is BLOCKING the path?

[Salanewt]

That looks nice, but it still seems a tad bit small for a continent to me.

Maxi: You can do whatever you want when helping out with this, but I should point out that conversions are mostly optional at this point.

Teawater: By the way, I was wondering, did anyone else notice the ".gba" ROM in the Downloads section?

JamietheFlameUser: Well, that particular Briggs fight was from a long time ago. I haven't been working on my current hack the past few days because of other stuff.

Teawater: Can't remember exactly what shae of yellow it was, so not sure it would be too close or not.

Salanewt: Oh wait, tag doesn't work down here. But yeah, how is your hack going Jamie?

Salanewt: [me] considers giving him the Sol Blade...

Today at 15:36:00

Salanewt: Oh my. To be honest though, I'd be more likely to give Briggs stuff from later regions; him being a pirate from another continent and all.

JamietheFlameUser: How not to design boss fights: give human-type bosses stats and equipment on par for what the Editor says their level is and what equipment is available where they're from. You get stuff like an actually scaled to level 21 Briggs with a Great Sword, Silver Plate, Silver Helm, Vambrace, and Leather Boots. God, that was BS.

JamietheFlameUser: Eh, I didn't know the exact chance of Curse screwing you over. Still, that 6% chance to fail to act at all could screw you over when it matters most. The obvious solution, of course, is to stick that armour on a character who doesn't do anything but spam attack moves anyway.

leaf: ...assuming I'm remembering the chance of curse taking effect correctly as 25%

[Today]

Today at 07:09:50

leaf: in fact, you get two turns the majority of the time (~56%), and only completely fail to act ~6%, the remainder of the time getting one action

leaf: I like that stealth armor buff. it wouldn't make sense to do that with the clerics ring available, but if you remove that, it's actually an interesting item. On average, you get ~1.5 turns per round. it's potentially very strong, but carries risks

JamietheFlameUser: Reading the Venus Psynergy topic and 'lol'ing at Role's reaction to a very simple spell idea I'd had (and still think is awesome), where rock explodes out of the ground from a single point in a focused, cone-shaped burst. Role read me the riot act about not combining elements again. lol.

[Today]

Today at 06:17:58

JamietheFlameUser: Well, one thing I came up with that was actually potentially cool is a modification to the Stealth Armour. I gave it +1 turns, under the assumption that the Cleric's Ring would be removed. You might get 2 actions that round, or 1 action, or maybe no actions at all! RNG at its finest.

Knight of Purgatory: Nice orange text kain. Maybe it should be a shiny gold

leaf: I concur. There isn't much I'd consider worth salvaging from dc in terms of work done, but reading the old threads can be quite amusing
