Topic: Mega Man Maps

[TenguMan]

could you tell me a program that can open that file? I'm a little ignorant in this area

[RT 55J]

Try this program. The interface should be fairly intuitive.

What's the matter with MM5 and MM6's maps? They look alright to me.

[RT 55J]

All of them are missing the leftmost 8 columns of pixels, and most of them are missing the top and bottom 8 rows of pixels. Also, none of them have fancy white borders & spacing or title cards.

I think RT 55J basically wants all six Mega Man games to be consistent, all done by Revned.



If not all of them, then I think redoing Mega Man and Mega Man II would probably be more "priority" than (re)doing Mega Man V and Mega Man VI...just my opinion...

[Revned]

I see. If I do them, they'll have to wait until I redo the first two. My interest could wane before I get there.

[RT 55J]

I never said that Revned would need to redo them all (but it would be nice if they all used the same palette). I just want them to be visually consistent.

Never knew MM5 and 6 had 8 bottom pixel rows missing. I think it was a buggy emulator. I once used VirtuaNES which was bad because it has 10 left pixel columns missing all the time. What do you use Revned which guarantees quality in NES games. I rely on Jnes but its colour palette isn't really good.



Anyway I've reached the Netopia Castle in Battle Network 2.

[Revned]

Well, I can switch between palettes pretty freely. I wrote a little program to do it. I tried several different palettes before I settled on this.



Will, that's a "feature" of most emulators. Many games don't render properly in the outer 8 pixels. Nestopia lets you choose whether or not to crop this off. Even so, Mega Man 3 and 4 have 8 pixels of black on the left that I had to manually rebuild.

In case anyone is interested, I found a walk through walls code for Star Force 2.  (Hopefully it works.)  I also added a link to the WTW codes in the first post.

Just sent in Mega Man 1. A few notes:



Osrevad's Elec Man map was missing several screens, which was understandable considering that they appeared twice in the stage. My new map is, as a result, quite a bit taller.



MagnetiC's Cut Man map had several single-pixel alignment mistakes that would probably have remained unnoticed if I hadn't remapped it.



My headers have portraits for the robot masters that aren't shown in this game. They are actually from Mega Man III's ending. I also borrowed Dr. Wily's logo.

[JonLeung]

Just uploaded Revned's revised maps from the original Mega Man game.



I didn't see the previous post here, but I did notice the considerable Elec Man height difference of about a thousand pixels, and I thought the portraits from Mega Man III were a nice touch, so I was going to mention these points if Revned hadn't already done so.



Revned has now claimed every pixel of the first four Mega Man games!  But we're expecting a rev(ned)ision of Mega Man II...



(It would be cool if someone could "NESsify" Oil Man's and Time Man's stages from Mega Man: Powered Up!, to see what they would look like had they existed in the original.)

[marioman]

OK, Will has new BN2 maps up.  As far as I can tell, he is about 1/3 of the way through the game.  Good job Will.

Keep an eye on this.  Progress is slow, but it looks promising.

[Revned]

II is done and submitted. I still haven't decided on V and VI yet, but I'll keep considering them.

[marioman]

Awesome.  Thanks Revned - I'll be looking forward to seeing the new maps.
