It's 8000C0.



I just claimed a rather large chunk of the map. The area at the top is mostly one big room, even though it looks like several on the map. Then I'm also doing the connecting rooms while I'm there. I marked all of the save rooms, all of the warp rooms, and a few of the loading rooms. The loading rooms aren't shown on the map, so I have to actually go around and find them.

I've just redone the background of Mephea's hall section, mainly for consistency since it doesn't look really different from before:

Jon, the image with the candles in my first post is stuck at the wrong size for some reason.

holy crap i just ran glintercept and it caught a bajillion-fillion images!  time to see if this is faster than manually removing the status bar thing.  The only place that its tricky is that top left corner.  bleghblegh



OK, here is my second contribution, not 100% and it will be a while before i can finish it i think.

Quadruple posted! We haven't really talked about items, but I don't think we'll label them. There are lots of maps out there that tell you where to get all the items already. I don't think someone would want to scroll around a 16000x12000 map looking for a single item.



So, for items just sitting there, capture them as they look and without any kind of highlighted border. I don't think there are any other items floating like the one in your map, but I could be mistaken. It looks fine as it is now.

You also have to be careful with GLIntercept's files. Like I said, for some reason most of the tiles it captures have the pixels on the border doubled, so a standard tile that is 16 x 16 ends up being 18 x 18. Also, things like doors are tricky because they actually are 3D object and sometimes look a bit screwy in-game but fine in GLIntercept's log files, except they won't have the same lighting effects on them. I try to avoid it's use as much as possible except for the parallax background when it's the only way to capture parts of them.

Just wanted to point out this site: http://www.inverteddungeon.com/mudt/index.php?selection=10000. It has several glitches that let you get outside of the castle. The double Heart Refresh trick was particularly helpful in getting some stuff to the left of the big room I'm working on.

It looks great, and yeah, I would have bitched about the flames ;)



There seems to be two candle spots near both edges of the screen without actual flames on them. Are those like that in the game or did you capture them with after the flames got hit by you?
