Wolfchild Maps

blindfold · 27 January 2013, 18:53

Hi.
Is there a chance to get Wolfchild maps?
Actually I think it is a big loss not to have it for all maps collectors out there.

CodyJarrett · 27 January 2013, 20:25

I think that I can get the maps if someone can work out how to get the tiles. The tiles seem to be in the correct place but the colours aren't right. See the attachment for the closest I can get to in GFXRip.

Been sitting on tiles for a while, can't figure out what's wrong either. I will give it one more shot when I get back from work.

I've manually coloured the tiles and generated maps for the levels:

Thanks to Codetapper for advice!

Good work! It's a hard game but I like it.

@CodyJarrett

Any chance you could share with us how you created the maps?

I'm sure many others would like to be able to do this, but have little idea where to even begin ( or maybe it's only me)

CodyJarrett · 31 January 2013, 09:33

I could write a tutorial if there is enough interest!

TCD · 31 January 2013, 09:42

I'd be interested too

spajdr · 31 January 2013, 09:50

Count me in as interested :-)

prowler · 31 January 2013, 20:23

And me!

Thanks, Cody!

By all means. The HOL game maps are indispensable. The more making them the better.

I'm interested too

Thanks.

Thank you very, very much! Great Job!

BTW. After trying to get colours right I think it gets wrong because most of the backdrop is done by 'hblank' palette change. Ok, no rocket science here and actually it shouldn't mess other colours... :/

It's more likely due to the fact the game uses dual playfield mode and the tile layer is playfield 2, so it uses palette entries 8-15. GfxRip probably only selects the first 8 colours from the memory dump since it thinks it's ripping a 3 bitplane game.

@Cody: i´m interested too...

Joe Maroni · 07 February 2013, 20:49

BTW: i´ve already made some tutorials about how i did maps some years ago, but sadly lost them....

CodyJarrett · 07 February 2013, 20:55
