Topic: [Revival]: Wario, Micro Machines etc. maps.

[Revned]

I agree.

[JonLeung]

It seems "different" than other Mario games, but like I said, I will eventually give it a try.

[Revned]

It seemed more like them to me than did Super Mario Land 1. It was different in a good way.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

(Sorry to bump this but...) I've been wondering about Mario Kart DS maps. You know those maps you've got already... is it possible to make the map of the actual colour map thing you see on the game, where you can actually see items, objects etc? You know what I mean. (I feel I've already asked this somewhere).

[Revned]

At this point, no. Probably not for a long time. The DS emulators aren't very good.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

OK, then.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

I can see there's no interest in this. After all, it's January 3 2007, and the last post was November 13 2006... which is basically 51 days ago (or 7 weeks and 2 days)... so... can I close this? (I did close it once or twice, but for 'some reason' it was re-opened), either that or... any maps from any of the requested games?

[JonLeung]

There's no need to close this, even if it appears there's no interest or progress.  Haven't we mentioned that already?



Someone one day may come around this board, and perhaps they have the time and willingness to do the maps you request - but if you close it, they might not even want to come into the topic to read it or assume it's dealt with.



You've made some maps before, haven't you, Ultimate Koopa?  Perhaps if you did some of the smaller ones of the games you've mentioned it might inspire someone to do the others, since you seem to requesting a few from the same series.



Peardian's at work at Wario Land 4, just taking his time with them though.  They'll get done.

[Captain Drake]

I might make Virtual Boy Wario Land maps eventually. Want them in white/grey or headache-inducing red/black?

[The Ultimate Koopa]

Never played VB Wario Land, but... white/grey.

And, Jon, how do you make maps of games where the screen scrolls vertically as well as horizontally? I could do Wario Land 2 or 3 maps, but DKL maps for example... On one screen, the ledge might be at the bottom of the screen, but when you move to the next screen, the screen scrolls vertically, and the ledge might be at the top of the screen. And there's also blank/white parts that'd appear.

[The Ultimate Koopa]

Um... it should be could not could.

[Captain Drake]

Actually, can't do VBWL, sorry. The background and foreground don't scroll at the same speed, and since you go into the background at certain points, I can't just cut out the background.

[TerraEsperZ]

Captain Drake, would it possible to map both the foreground and background separately? If yes, then  I suppose you could simply, for a given stage, place the two sections one beside the others and simply use arrows or numbers to indicate the place where Wario can switch layer.



Of course, since I've never played the game myself and haven't even seen it in action, what I'm suggesting might in practice sound really stupid...

[Captain Drake]

Doesn't sound stupid at all, really.



Problem is there's no really good VB emulators yet, so layers of background can't be disabled, which means the background in the foreground blocks the background in the background (Getting confusing?). So that wouldn't be possible until there's a better emulator.

[TerraEsperZ]

Ah ah, yeah, lots of painful capture and editing in perspective. So, which emulator are you using? I'd be curious to at least try to play Virtual Boy Wario Land.
