Ork maps are done. Also a little map of Gamer that just showed up. That's just in case it qualifies for a HOL entry. The crooked chains on the chandeliers look that way in the game too.

Thanks, especially for bothering yourself with the attract mode map .
I have a quick question before adding them. I noticed on the map for Level 1 a right-angled triangle (at the leftmost part of the row of tree at the top). Is it normal? Perhaps the place where the winged boss spawns? Or something that displays an out of boundary message? I don't remember seeing that, although I don't think I ever went that far there (same thing for the longplay I checked to refresh my memory: [ Show youtube player ] boss encounter near 05:45) Edit: Ah TCD added it first. My question remains though. |

Very interesting about SOTB3. This game use up to 57 colors on the front backdrop.
this means that with the background and the sprites, this game is 64 colors (without counting the copper gradient). Cool ! |

TCD - Just for the record Gamer doesn't keep a score and the hero can't be hurt so it is just tossed over to HOL to decide.
lilalurl - Yes, That is one of the first things I spotted. Even went past the winged boss to look and the triangle is there. I was using the PAL SPS disks for these maps. If an error doesn't look too bad I try to keep hands off. Something that just looks silly like in the sample shot then it's time to rip enough graphics so the picture will make sense. In this case the winch (sprite) and the platform chain mechanism (all bobs) had to be ripped too. Captain - This game was the most nuisance of any so far. The palette and tile set could change from screen to screen and sometimes even on the same screen. Look how wrong the colors are at first. Thanks to Codetapper adding the ability to step through the copper list. Otherwise it would take a week to paint the correct colors and another month to fix the mistakes.

Well that's weird. Thanks for explaining and having even checked in-game
I guess this triangle will remain a mystery anyway as I doubt it is a sort of easter egg (like the dopefish). Probably a marker for something forgotten or planned and not implemented. |

Other than that, there's nothing particularly special. If you want to change palettes from one section to another, you have to have the stuff with the new palette at least a screen width apart (horizontally) - vertically it's trivial with the copper to change the palette. You have to be very careful about the exact time you switch the palette, otherwise you'd walk into an area and the tiles would visibly change colour. If it's using different tilesets, there's probably a high bit set or something that tells the game to use an alternate set of tiles. If you really want an in-depth analysis of this one I'll add it to my list to do at some point. Update: I just took another look at the game, and the way the mountain range has been done is actually quite interesting. I didn't even notice at first but there's actually 2 parallax layers of mountains in the background. Albeit very small! There's a 13 pixel high strip which has the second mountain range in it (repeated every 32 pixels), and game pre-calculates all 32 combinations and blits the relevant one into the sprite structure. I will do a proper write-up on this! Last edited by Codetapper; 28 September 2013 at 10:53. Reason: Further analysis of how the mountain range double parallax layer was done |

This question goes out to any moderator that knows. The "link to map" URLs throughout this thread don't work anymore. The top line is what was pasted into the insert link box. All of a sudden all the links tested have morphed into the bottom line. Clicking them gives me 404 error.

Here's the explanation why: http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=...&postcount=194
Unless RCK plans to automatically update those links (which I doubt), I'm afraid only manually updating them to the 'new old' style works. |
