Title: How do I build a stage out of chopped pictures?
Post by: Violent Ken Masters on August 20, 2007, 07:25:28 PM: I noticed some people make stages by cutting up a picture and putting them all in one group, but how do I do this? O_o

Post by: BigJ on August 20, 2007, 07:42:24 PM: what do you mean? You can take a picture and cut it up into little squares so that you don't lose any quality when you convert it to 256 colors. After that, just put it together in fighter factory.

I have it all ready, I just need to know what I'm supposed to do with the palette.

Thanks. I'm just trying to figure out how in the world I'm supposed to code it.

just code it like a normal BG. only in your case, you'd have a bunch of [BG]'s in the def. for example:

[BG peice1]
spriteno = 1, 0
layerno = 0
start = 0, 0
delta = 1, 1
mask = 1

[BG peice2]
spriteno = 1, 1
layerno = 0
start = 0, 0
delta = 1, 1
mask = 1

[BG peice3]
spriteno = 1, 2
layerno = 0
start = 0, 0
delta = 1, 1
mask = 1

etc. etc. until you have all of the pieces together.

make sure the image no is different for each image.
or you will be putting the same images together.

Post by: Violent Ken Masters on August 29, 2007, 02:26:27 AM: Thanks guys, but I'm just wondering how to code it as an animated stage. ???
Anyways so far so good, but I have plans to put a wooden floor in, as well as some lights flashing.

Post by: Violent Ken Masters on August 29, 2007, 03:26:52 AM: Okay so how do I make things just pop up. I have these pictures set up perfectly but I have no idea how I'm going to code them. ~X(
Title: Re: How do I build a stage out of chopped pictures?
Post by: MaverickZr0 on August 29, 2007, 03:27:38 AM: Do you mean pop up in front of the characters, or pop up like an animation?
Title: Re: How do I build a stage out of chopped pictures?
Post by: Violent Ken Masters on August 29, 2007, 03:32:19 AM: pop up like an animation, you know like the lights in neon sign's at casino's.

Right now it's a secret, all I can say is it's original.

I just had to turn bg1 into an animation.
