Conversion Capers: Rygar

[sandruzzo]

Updated new version. I think the bug should be gone. Can you test it?

[DamienD]

The "solo" dragon flying backwards after the pit has been fixed

There are other small bugs for me though, see uploaded video:

1) blue rectangle in the ground every 2 screens or so.
2) bug when jumping onto the tree ledge (0.18). The video doesn't show it but Rygar flashes constantly and is crouching / sliding when moving.
3) viking can run through the 2nd platform (0.39).
4) viking at the start of the end section instead of statue (0.44).
5) game freezes when trying to run into the end section (0.45).

I'll check all out!

01) it's for debug purpose, I'll get rid of it!
03) it's due to fixed hall position, very simple to get rid

Other bugs gone. Still working on end level freez. Can you check that out?

Hi folks,

Can the license to this port of Rygar be specified? Can I suggest BSD, MIT, or GPL, so that it can continually be updated in case anyone wants to?

Without supports, beside bugs I cant' do more

the vgmasps are not enough for a start?
one has to create foreground and background from that graphics?

i'm really no expert with such stuff, just asking what you need.

They are unadequate for the job. They can only serve as reference.

hmm, is there a description how to obtain useable gfx in the last 89 pages?

Well first proper tiles for front and parallax layer need to be obtained from the graphic sources; that should be doable by loading pics in photoshop or another layered tool, overlapping a 16x16 grid and cutting several unique tiles per level to be put in a separated file and remapped to game palette.

For the map itself,as i see it, using the three last unmarked sections with the 16x16 grid overlap could be used as a reference to put proper blocks using a PC tiled system - if there is one - that supports overlapping;

Tiled seems to be a good editor, does support layers. is free/donations ware.

I have already posted on the thread the WHOLE sets of tiles with perfect colors for the levels.

[emufan]

hmm, we need to keep sandruzzo motivated, so somehow we have to help

Converting to "Tiled" works well.

Setup a Reference layer of the exported arcade map and change transparency/toggle layers on/off.

This could take some time

dlfrsilver - I did notice two tile errors so far alignment/colour that I will fix.


P.S. for those with a keen eye (yes those tabs are the maps in progress for "ProXima 3" shoot em up

That's awesome !!!!

EDIT : there are no tile errors, the 2 tiles you talk about are those on the left side, flipped to the right
