    That's actually kind of nice, but last time I checked...you were banned from Sonic Retro's message board.


    It'd be wise to get permission before using that, I think.

    I was just playing around with images for SonMapEd, perfect transfer, no image distortion or pallete problems but it won't be in the hack anyway, just a test.


    Also since the RetroHack image was buggy when transferred, not mentioning the white/black thing I've got another mockup that Psy gave me:

    I do want complete transfer over, no more colour changes. Mind, I am new to this stuff.

    That screen looks kinda crappy, like the lines on the box are different sizes for starters, and you should see about making the reflection use its own palette line.

    As far as I know, the screen is available for use in all SGMC hosted projects. Both Megamix and S1EE are SGMC hosted projects, so they have it. =P

    I've also asked permission to use the screen, and was granted that permission, due to STLL being a SGMC hosted project. However, Cinossu told me he's working on the screen, fixing it. The SGMC screen used in S1EE and Megamix apparently isn't the final version.

    Maybe he could make Sonic super peel-out by the logo, or make the logo spin from the background to the screen, or whatever, I'm just using my thinker, here ^_^


    And by the way SF, GET STLL BACK!! ^_^

    Update:


    I am now using Xenowhirl's Sonic 2 2007 disassembly now. Compressed art is now fine, no more garbled crap or screens of death etc.


    Here are the screenshots showing the changes made:


    [​IMG]


    Sonic Crackers HUD, S3K Rings, Sonic Rush live icon.


    [​IMG]


    Since the live icons are from Sonic Rush, the monitor from that game is there too.


    [​IMG]


    Sonic 2 Alpha Signpost, I like using that as well as the Crackers HUD.


    [​IMG]


    Tails showcasing the Sonic 3K Starpost.


    [​IMG]


    Sonic Advance Egg Prison.


    [​IMG]


    S3K Spikes, also notice the Rush Adventure Tails icon, to use it, do the Miles cheat on the title screen, up,up,up,down,down,down,up then options, select Miles. Just an idea I had about the Miles icon.


    YouTube Video of Tails in Death Egg: Please note it still may be processing so sorry if you don't get anything right now, check again later.


    Special Thanks:


    Xenowhirl: Sonic 2 Disassembly 2007 version


    The SCAA: Compressed Art


    The disassembly can be found here.


    EDIT: Video replaced with working version!

    Yeah, Xenowhirl's disassembly has an even directive after most bincludes, so having compressed art of an odd length shouldn't matter. Another nicety (among many) is that since the sound driver is actually compiled with the rest of the rom, you can add as much stuff before it without screwing it up.

    I'm really starting to dislike that SCAA more and more. I remember when I suggested an idea along the lines of that a long time ago and it got shot down, and now I can see why. Every hack is using pretty much the same thing, over and over again and it's really starting to get boring and is making the hacks a lot less interesting. If you're going to use art from there, at least take it and give it your own personal touch to make it different from the rest.

    I would but I do not know how could I modify it eg: what specific programs would be required to edit them. You've gave me a good point there, Stephen & I will see what I can do with the art. Thanks anyway.

    Eggfan had also had the same idea back when ShadowSoft was still about the mods and shit, even knocked together a 5 minute site for him. In the end he felt that it would encourage unoriginality and laziness.

    Just posting you some info on Retrohack on how to get you started.


    And in response to Stephens comment on SCAA, just look at the URL. Not many people are gonna appreciate that. I know some people hate that site, so I would move.


    No offense to JCFerggy or DNXDelta in any way though.


    But I think everyone just abuses it. I'm only using most of the art for placeholders for my new art.

    I agree with most of everything said about the SCAA. Now were almost to the point where we are spriting stuff, just to see who uses it in their hack, and laugh. At first, I tried to use it as something to get me noticed in the community, but now that I'm there (Or feel like it), I can see that maybe it wasn't the best of ideas. Now I don't want to take the site down, maybe see if I can set it up in a way where only members have to request the art, but then I would be getting a bunch of shit mail asking for this and that. I could try and set it up like a forum again, but just because I know who has the art, doesn't mean that I can stop then from taking everything. I could maybe set it up for only certain members, like the staff of SGMC, or the Tech members of S2Beta, but then people would bitch about it not being fair, since it should be for everyone. Any suggestions would be welcome to what I should do about the site.

    Noone is going ot appreciate SCAA hosted on Glowing Bridge.

    You set up a forum where people could ask if they could use this art that they have seen on the SCAA & it's up to the staff discretion if they are allowed to use the art or not, it could also be a place where they could ask for help eg: art locations that they cannot find. That's what my idea is, it is a fair system, register & request. I don't steal your art, I'm now trying to modify it for my hack like Stephen suggested.


    Hack Update: That monitor didn't look good so I'm going to try & modify the S3&K Monitors a bit.

    And your reasoning for this statement is?
