Title: I want to make a CV Hack or help someone with their hack.
Post by: Belmont Stakes on December 17, 2009, 06:10:59 AM: I have been doing some of my own sprite work using Tile Molester in hopes of someday having enough material to make a kickass remake of Simon's Quest. However I would be willing to help out people with their hack if they want me to do sprite work for them. Give me an email if you want help or if you are interested in doing some collaborating on an idea.

Just as a courtesy I will post some of my work in .gif form so you all know I am not blowing smoke. This is of Simon whipping down while standing and jumping. Also I have a running swinging diagonal and upward whip and an uppercut .gif ala SOTN Richter and Street Fighter II. Feel free to use just them just ask permission and give me some dap. More to come.

Just as an added bonus.

Yep, that is exactly what I was aiming for in this instance.

Post by: uzo on January 07, 2010, 10:04:22 PM: Pro tip: just about every one of those is unusable in an NES game as is for a variety of reasons ranging from the NES doesnt have unlimited ram, nor virtual memory, and (somewhat related) there is an actual grid format you need to follow.

Post by: X on January 08, 2010, 03:08:13 AM: That's true if you're doing a hack but what about a totally self-made game? Surely with that in mind the sky's the limit.

Post by: Belmont Stakes on January 08, 2010, 05:00:09 AM: The circular whip and the sword raise were done for fun other than that the swing, uppercut, and multi directional whipping were made for anyone who is clever enough to implement them in a game. Surely a CV game be done to accomodate it. Is it at all possible to do an open world CV II hack that plays with more challenge like CV I? Just as a side note I have seen the game Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and that game does not look to elaborate as a ROM goes but they manage to make an open world game that seemingly does not repeat any sprite work in the ROM and its not bad for what it is.

Sweet! Looks like I came to the right place for Castlevania fans.
I'm Mrgrill247 and I'm in the process of updating Castlevania, but I need help because the modder would love it.

Ritcher Belmont is currently playable in the mod of Legacy of Dracula, but the Sega Saturn Version is too fat in size in comparison to the Playstation version.
Would you like to take a stab at resizing the sprite to make him thin like the Playstation version? If you look at the "Ritcher Size gif", you will see the differences when he is resized properly.

Other than that, check out the website below and download the game to play on your computer. It's fun.

I will check out your game. My idea is for the NES remake of Simon's Quest. This game would have to be a simple hack as I do not in all truth have the ability to rewrite the entire ROM.

Post by: Aridale on January 22, 2010, 08:14:58 PM: sweet! Another BoR CV game =D

As for your hack... why do you wanna make a hack at all? If you wanna make some kinda CV game why dont you make your own. Even if you wanna do a CV2 remake youd be better off makin your own game than tryin to hack a rom to do what you want within the limits of the NES.

Ok, point made. I suppose a Game Maker download is in order. Just for the sake of argument can I import sprite sheets that I make with Tile Molester?

Post by: Aridale on January 23, 2010, 02:52:34 AM: yeah game maker can make sprites from whole sheets if you make sure you space each individual sprite correctly but I always just do it with single images

Post by: Jorge D. Fuentes on January 24, 2010, 04:15:41 PM: Hey this is pretty good.
Title: Re: I want to make a CV Hack or help someone with their hack.
Post by: uzo on January 24, 2010, 05:43:55 PM: I have to agree. You're off to a great start. It was not only playable and easy to control, it was fairly solid and enjoyable. You had some good creative ideas going there. Especially with Trevor, who has strikers for special abilities.

The only thing I would say I found rather annoying was the abusable of some specials. Some moves can be used to bypass the entire stage almost, since they make you invincible and go through enemies. Simon is very abusable. Alucard runs a little too fast too I think.

As for your request on a resized Saturn Richter; I have already done such a thing. I didn't do every frame, but I believe it should be all the frames you need. I didn't touch up any frames really, so its a bit crude, but I used a scaling method that is 100% exact to SotN scale guaranteed. I'm a real hard ass when it comes to quality, so I wouldn't make something available that wasn't done right.

Post by: Mrgrill247 on January 24, 2010, 07:43:25 PM: Uzo, thanks!! is it possbile to resize the rest of the sprites only because we want to use those frames to complete Ritcher. ;D

Pierwolf, the creator of Legacy of Dracula really put this game together. Its still a demo. I'm glad everyone loves this game. I'm playing this on my psp. Pretty sweet. I also found this ghost from the Sega Saturn Nocturnal in the Moonlight.

Also check this other game out here, it another Castlevania game by BonusJZ

HOLD IT!

Are you saying you didn't make this game? Why are you asking for sprites for it then?

As a side note; I didn't like Vampire Hunters at all. It was clunky and seemed cheaply slapped together.

Post by: Mrgrill247 on January 25, 2010, 05:58:22 AM: I always help around the modder community for misc things relating to their games. Sometime people who make games needs various sprites. In this case it was Ritcher's Saturn sprite scaled thanks to you.

Other times when they need help, I try my best to assist them. In the end, we are all big Castlevania fans. We want to help each other out to have a dream game to play.

Here' another examply: CastleVania BoR

This game is basically Castlevania vs Contra.

Another reason I am asking for the sprites because I want to get ready to make my Castlevania game also. Basically you have provided the biggest help, which is scaling Ritcher's sprite. That I thank you. If you could scale the reset of Richer's moves, then myself and everyone in the Castlevania lavalit community would be thankful. :)

Post by: uzo on January 25, 2010, 11:13:02 PM: I did it under the assumption that was your game. I thought you had a good game going, but you were misleading. That was the only reason I offered help. I don't give charity to projects I don't think are headed in the right direction. I'd rather encourage hard work, not 2 second slap togethers.

Of course, charity was a mistake to begin with. Why do I bother?
