Donkey Kong Land 2 (GB)

[The Ultimate Koopa]

Oh and marioman, it's EASY just to take two screen shots and paste them together... I could do maps which involes ONLY horizontal scrolling or ONLY verticle scrolling, but not one like DKL, where, on one screen, say, the top of a tree is above the screen, but as you move further, it the "camera" moves up, making the tree lower than it was before...

People make maps in their spare time and I don't think most of us have a ton of it to spare.  So mapsets get done when we get around to them.

[Fearnavigatr]

I'm not taking time to work on it at all, quite simple. When it's done, it's done. Until then, well, it's not.



I can probably pick up and finish Hot Head Hop soon enough. It's not that much left on it, but what's left is pretty tricky.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

Where's Fearnavigatr been for the last 35 days?

[Fearnavigatr]

Slacking.



All right, New Year's resolution. Hot Head Hop will be finished before February.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

YAY!.... and the rest of DKL2? Or ... will that be the last one *really, really, really hopes Fearnavigatr will eventually have every single level mapped out *

[Fearnavigatr]

That would be nice wouldn't it? But don't get your hopes up.



Well, the rest of the project continues when Hot Head Hop is done. Kannon's Klaim comes later.

This thread made me giggle. =D



Koopa: If you're *this* excited about the DKL maps, oughtn't you at least give it a try yourself even if it's more difficult than maps you've attempted in the past? I think you should at least try it and see what comes out.



Or maybe have Fearnav give you a tutorial or how-to on how he does it. That way he wouldn't have to bother with it anymore (and judging by the fact that he's been at this one level since at least the summer, I'm guessing he's sort of lost interest in the project as a whole)--and you can have the maps just as you want them, and as soon as you'd like too.

See also my Micro Machines mapping thread. TUK seems very reluctant to map anything bigger than a single screen, but has copious time to ask others about their progress.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

I can map games if it's only a straight horizontal scroll, where you have a one-way scrolling level (SML for example)



But if it's where the screen scrolls up cutting of part of the level, is the part I can't do... like in every DKL/DKC level.



If Fearnavigatr can give me a tutorial/how-to (with screenshots) then do so.

[Revned]

It's exactly the same principle, I don't know why you can't seem to do it. Just take screenshots and paste them together, cropping off status bars if necessary.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

If I do that, there's lots of white area left where the screen goes up or down, and the bottom or top of the first screen is higher/lower than the next screen...

[JonLeung]

You could:

1. Expand canvas area.

2. Crop the image when you're done.

[Rew]

Well, I know of a certain Koopa will be quite excited about today's update! =P

[JonLeung]

Does "Hot Head Hop" have a hyphen?  As in "Hot-Head Hop"?  Why did I always think it was "Hot-Head Bop"?
