hey everyone,

I don't know if you remember me, but i worked with
y'all a while back on the DC community project. I
suddenly dropped off the map and haven't been here
for about a year. I actually have an explanation. I'm
sure y'all were pissed that i seemingly quit with no
notice. That was never my intention. at the time, a lot
of my family was in the hospital. my grandmother and
an aunt and an uncle died in close proximity. I was out
of town often and never was able to get on. After that,
my whole computer crashed. We couldnt afford a new
one and i was forced to use the school computers for
schoolwork. around july, i got a new computer, but
was working all summer and didnt use it. when school
began, i decided i should get back on. this didnt
happen, however, because i got grounded for 6
months. and now, a year later, i come back hoping
y'all will allow me back on the project. i am expecting
no further interruptions. im not trying to make
excuses, i am simply explaining what has happened. i
hope y'all will forgive me. i hope you've been well. ive
missed you guys.

Ok. I am wanting to learn more about sprite art. i have read that for Golden Sun, they "used rendering and shrinkage from a larger image, hence the variation and blending of colors." I am not sure if this is true. also, i would like any good tips when making sprites and also what the best program to use is. please explain why that program is useful if you suggest one. my main problem is getting the sprite into golden sun style. i can make what i want the sprite to look like, its just not GS-ish enough. i appreciate all help and tips. Thanx! :)

ok. So ya know how Atrius got that huge map of GS TLA with all the random other areas not in the actual game? Well I am wondering how to get the full image of a village. I can see it in the maps section of the editor but didn't see a way to save it. Any help on how to do this?

I am guessing this topic should go here as this is for tech stuff.

I need help making an animated gif. I googled it but nothing explaines it very well. I was planning on making my DC sprite into one and then as I worked on it, I would change it. but I would like to know how to do it in general for anything else I might need. Thanx!

I have made an app for the forum. its not on the market. you can download it here. it is so much easier since I am always on mobile.


@Atrius: I just had a thought, is this breaking copyrights you have or anything. I am not getting money for it and its only here, not on the market. Is it ok to have this? I thought it might be useful.

In my other topic where my ship turned in that sun thing, i figured out what happened. I used this and found a whole new kind of other dimension Wayward. I found a new island too. Its kinda boring but... its new! Here is the video.

Today, i had to rake the bottom of our 1 acre lake for big concrete blocks. I spent about 5 hours on it and only found 12 of 17. Not fun. I lost my crocs 5 times in the almost knee-deep mud. And got bit by a snapping turtle.

Share your worst chores. They can get pretty bad.

Here is a video of what happened. all i did was use the editor to change the characters as you see in the short battle scenes and go from Daila staight to lemuria to get piers and the ship quickly (i was bored ok.). however, the colors are fall colors and the ship is... something. plus i can go on land. what happened. does anyone know. http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4507/d1g.mp4

Anyone had an bad tornadoe weather like on the news and out my window? Share any cool sad stories here.

I am working on making a version of GS where you have almost every thing you need at the beginning. Now some of you are probably thinking, "There's no fun in that. You can beat it to easily." Well, that IS the point. Its a beat the clock challenge. I will have a guide telling you a few tricks and how it works. See how fast you can beat the game.

It will probably be out within this upcoming week. Hope you like it!

Ever wanted to do cool Psynergy outside of battle like alex? Or wanted to use regular Psynergy in battle?  If any one finds cool tircks like this post them here

Here's a cool trick.
Start a new game and go through the   conversation until you can move freely in the lighthouse.  Go bak up to where the electricity is blocking the way to where   went.  Open the game memory viewer and go to 0203230E and change the first value to 02.  From there walk through the electricity to the other side.  Change the value back to 00 and walk through the door.  WHOA  Now change the value back to 02 and walk to the bottom of the screen and walk over behind the soldier.  Change the value to 00 again and talk to the bottom two soldiers.  The first on will be shot up and away by a stream of water like and the other one will be pushed away and pulled back as if you had "the force".
try it and let me know how you like it.
if you find any other cool things post them here.  

Also, if you change the value again after you fight the first 2 ruffians, you can go around where Kraden won't let you go.  Yes it exists but you can't totally leave,it just sends you back.
