Wario Land 2 (GB)
« on: June 18, 2008, 12:36:12 pm »
I've only done the 4th level "Go Down To The Cellar", and only the first 3 rooms, of it.



All the coins and blocks are present, however, there are about 3 or 4 very small places where it's about 1 pixel out of line ... also, obviously, I need to add the sprites and stuff.



Here's what I've done so far:

Its a nice start. To me its a lot better than my Montezuma's Revenge maps. Mapping the entire game looks extremely easy. Miyu from Megaman Battle NT Warrior foresees that you will successfully finish the mapping the game in the next two and a half weeks. Heh! Heh! I've heard Wario turns into different forms in the game not unlike the multiple forms of the Falcon Agents in the Metal Slug Series.



If you want to know there are 11 stages each with 5 levels (except stage 11 which a super boss stage). Don't worry about the sprites. Normally when I make maps on old systems like NES and GB, I simply map out everything instead of first the layout then the sprites, then I rub out the unnecessary bits like menus, the location of the player and so on. I and Miyu are sure you'll accomplish.

You mean 10 stages, or "Chapters" each with 5 "Stories", and an 11th "Final Chapter" which only consists of a single story.

That's actually a pretty good job. Keep up the good work. :)



However, you should never ever ever ever ever save a screenshot map as a jpeg. The loss in picture quality is too great. I know it will take you some time to fix it, but I highly suggest that you redo the map and save it as a png. The increase in picture quality will be worth it.

I didn't intend on saving it as a JPEG, I just went File -> Save without actually looking <_< :( so that means I have to completely start over? I'm kind of thinking **** this, now.

Yesterday I attempted to assemble the map, but decided to quit from boredom before I finished the second room. You can use what I did:

OK :D Luckily the unassembled parts are PNGs :D, as you obviously know. I was thinking, what would be the best way to arrange the rooms? As you saw, I just arranged them from left to right, but you've put the first room above the second room. How/where would be a good place to put the 3rd, 4th and 5th rooms? And since the 5th room is a very small room consisting of nothing more than a few small ledges and 6 "10x" coins, I was thinking to simply put the room so that the doors from and too the 4th and 5th rooms are directly above and below each other, as most maps are made, but what about the 2 other main rooms?

Frustration also played a part in me stopping. I couldn't figure out where screenshot 14 was supposed to go. That and I felt like you should do it. :P



As far as arranging rooms goes, I'd recommend doing whatever feel will make the map easiest to follow. It's your call.

I cannot believe that that game is a Gameboy game. Its seems very colourful to on GB and not GBC don't you think? While you assemble all rooms together to form a map the whole stage, its a good idea to plan how you want to assemble them before you do it straight after doing the rooms. You'd best begin by mapping all the rooms with their sprites and objects.

RT 55J, screenshot 14 was actually near the end of the FOURTH room, as I accidentally typed 'map014' instead of whatever it was meant to be... something like 'map041' most likely



and Will? I don't get what you mean "Its seems very colourful to on GB and not GBC don't you think?"



This IS a Game Boy Color game, not a Game Boy game... unless you knew that and you're just trying to say that I put (GB) instead of (GBC), and was just being smart? <_<

Oh sorry Ultimate Koopa I didn't realise you made a mistake, because My "World Heroes" Gameboy maps have got only white and a different colour, some stages blue, green, purple, red or orange and it is rare after all for Gameboy to have a single colour other than black.

What mistake were you referring to? The mistake of accidentally overwriting an image? Or the mistake of accidentally putting (GB) instead of (GBC)?

So basically, I should assemble each room seperately, and then assemble the rooms all at once?

So far, there's



1

2



... should I do it like say...



1

23

 4

 5?



or

13

24

 5?

I just sent you enough gold to buy the two items.



Syntax is:



[link]http://blah[/link] - plain link

[link]http://blah(link text)[/link] - link with chosen text

[pic]http://blah[/pic] - picture

[link]http://blah([pic]http://blah[/pic])[/link] - thumbnail picture link



BUT:



change [ to < and change ] to >. And don't try to edit any posts with more than one link in them!
