Re: OverlayPal: A graphics tool for automatic sprite overlay creation

I haven't checked this forum in quite some time. If you're interested in trying out the new I-CHR, I'm happy to give anyone interested access, PM me. It's probably not better, but how it does sprites is not grid or row based which might have academic appeal. But... it's also not open source. It does...

I am surprised no one has linked this: http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php? ... xt#p170357 (Cowboy Bebop NES)
Or this: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11290 (Three short scenes)

I recognized the exact problem dougeff described, so I assumed this must be the right topic too. Sorry about that. :oops:

Re: cc65 not compiling code

PAUSE is not a function of nesasm3, it's one of the windows command line. Adding PAUSE to any .bat, NES related or not will have the same effect.

Edit, because it was only implied, not directly stated: You can add PAUSE to this script too.

Re: Write NES Music In NSF Format

An NSF is really just a ROM. In the case of NSFs that contain audio from commercial game, it's the commercial ROM with the game engine/graphical display/enemy and player logic hacked out, leaving only the music player and data. Editing an NSF to have new sounds is not fundamentally flawed, but it's ...

Re: Problem with borrowed (opensource) graphics, can't edit

You can give a shot to my tool which doesn't care about the specific colors you are using, and doesn't care about whether the image is indexed or not. It's designed to work with backgrounds, but this doesn't matter if all your sprites are tile aligned anyway. Just keep in mind it works on PNG images...

Re: Hardware limitations?

You are correct. You can see most everything about what a given game is doing graphically quite easily in a debugger emulator. (Like Mesen, or FCEUX). https://i.imgur.com/jaO9mVc.gif In Mesen, pressing ctrl+P will open the PPU viewer. (You can also get there from tools, debugger, then tools, ppu vie...

Re: Ways of implementing sprite animations

Add animation, add frame. Click play. Add animation, click the new animation in the list. Unhandled exception. Open program, add animation, export asm. Type any filename. Unhandled exception. I actually cannot find a way to export asm without crashing, but perhaps something much earlier I did breaks...

Re: Increasing x_pos by 4, but sprite can move outside of gr

In this case, if the values were: player_move_speed = 1 player_move_speed_sub = 0 That would be the same as just incrementing one pixel per frame, correct? Correct. player_move_speed = 255 player_move_speed_sub = 255 that would be 99.70% of the horizontal width of the screen per frame? Sort of, but...

Re: Batch files as a build system for ASM6 projects

But, assuming the goal is to get this audio driver for ASM6 into NES Maker, NES Maker handles the CHR, and the text, and the whatever. I understand you can come up with cases that add to build time, but are they cases that affect what you are currently doing? Your streaming background code is a rath...

Re: Ways of implementing sprite animations

From what I understand your tool set is an all-in-one conversion from a sequence of images to CHRs, palettes, metasprites and animations? Yes. You open an image sequence. You wait (sometimes an hour, if you're doing something insane like 255 frames of Street Fighter 3 Third Strike animation). You o...
