After thinking about it all day, I'll probably leave it connected like that, since there's the possibility that such a situation might happen again in the future and there might not be room to leave any spacing between then.



The whole problem comes from that damn boss room. It doesn't seem to conform to the rules of all the other rooms so far (where each map 'square' represents a 240 x 160 pixels area). For example, the upper-left door is thicker than normal because the screen scrolls *left* for 1 tile after entering and I've had to add in 1 additional row of tiles at the bottom because it doesn't show in-game (but does in VBA's map browser, my life savior so far). I'm really hoping there aren't too many such cases in the rest of the game.



I remember something equally frustrating happening to the guys who mapped Zero Mission. In several parts of Chozodia, the room would often be larger by 1 tile in every direction so that when assembled, almost all the rooms overlapped with their neighbors by 1 tile.

Well, you managed to echo all my thoughts on the subject. I wonder if we'll ever get the same ease of use that the previous board has for all the features you just mentionned.



As for the change itself, we in French have a great saying: "Qui choisit prend pire" which literally means "Who choses, picks worse".

Gaming / RE: Game Checklists

« on: April 24, 2006, 10:45:31 am »

Well, I know that I often use GameFAQs to get lists of all the items and secrets for example. I also make sure to play the game through just in case I can find something new. Obscure games don't always have complete FAQs, as I found out with Treasure Master for the NES.

Personally, I'd be fine just being able to read the threads in question.

Okay, the inability to post images and/or links properly is really bothering me...

Need advice on aesthetism this time. There is a set of rooms in Sector 2 TRO where the doors aren't aligned vertically between the rooms. Normally, everything lines up properly except for a few specifics rooms for no reason at all.



[img width= height=]http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8386/inconsistentdoors3on.png[/img]



If I put the rooms together, the doors are offset vertically, which doesn't look really good, but isn't horrible either, and I prefer this to putting the right part aside with arrow between them. Any thoughts, especially Revned?

KingKuros Said:

The world map of the past turns out to be just like the present world with the land where Melenam is just east of the Eygus island.  I removed the locations of the present world and added the locations of the past world and included the land of Melenam.  So Jon, can you handle two maps that are 10 MB and 17408 x 13376 in size?

Problem is, even if JonLeung can handle it, can the site surfers? I remember crashing my browser several times while trying to view the Earthbound Zero map (16000 x 15000 pixels). If he has the space for it, I'd suggest breaking them in quadrants for easier viewing.

Looks good and consistent across the animated tiles. It really looks empty and simple though after seeing the color version, but that has nothing to do with you.

VGMaps Social Board / RE: What kind of music are you into?

« on: April 23, 2006, 02:14:56 pm »

I'm pretty open-minded too. Pretty much anything goes except country, which makes me want to both throw up in disgust before wanting to blow my brains out to stop the pain... *ahem*.



I like a little of everything as long as its good and not sung by a woman (I can tolerate very few female voices when singing as they almost always get on my nerves, unlike guy voices who overall just seem to have more variety).



Some of my favourite songs/pieces:



Classic:

-Tocatta and Fugue in D minor (Johann Sebastian Bach)

-Moonlight Sonata (Ludwig van Beethoven)

-Dance Macabre (Saint-Saëns)

-The Planets (Gustav Holst)



Specific albums:

-Outside (David Bowie, and pretty much everything else he's done)

-Voyeurs (Two, which was Rob Halford's short-lived two-members band. Everyone seems to say it's some of his worst work, yet I really love this album)

-Foo Fighters (by the band with the same name; overall the most consistently good album they'Ve made in my opinion)

-Mellon Collie (Smashing Pumpkins)



Other artists:

-Depeche Mode

-David Bowie

-Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne, Macross Plus)

-Joe Hisaishi (almost all Miyazaki movies)



I'm sure there's a lot more stuff but I just can't think of any right now.

VGMaps Social Board / RE: Movies You've Seen

« on: April 23, 2006, 01:54:51 pm »

There aren't any blockbuster anywhere near where I live. There is a video rental/independant cinema who has a lot of DVDs of foreign movies and I'm pretty sure they'd have Kurosawa, but it's on the other side of town and I don't have a car, so I'd really need to be motivated to spend 2 hours just to make the trip to rent a movie. Maybe someday.
