i didnt mean to come across that way, i just wanted to be clear on what was being said, i came to this after 5 or so posts and had no clue what was going on. so i defined what i thought each meant and asked that others try to ease the confusion. i would say it hasnt reached the level of argument, nor will it, maybe a bit more confusion, but i dont sense tensity (..i know) or anything bad in the current posts and i feel that this is a climax of sorts. or am i completely misjudging the situation.

Errr, the masked routine that uses the dark gray layer for the mask *is* only an aligned routine. Thats why it appears the way it does in Jims ... the same as in Duck's. I dont recall the needs for this game, but you may need to write your own masked sprite routine. Even modding the aligned one should be possible :?

ya that's what I was thinking too. when I first experimented w/ RGP for CoC, I used the default gsputsprite and used a modification that used SMC to call it twice. once in AND mode and once in XOR mode. obviously I can't do that in an app ^^

thanks for the help though

I was thinking, why don't we give our little development team a name and logo? (just something that can appear before the game's title card) Who knows, maybe we'll also get together and work on other projects in the future.

That being said, what would you guys think about:

mhmm I don't think there is a need for a team, as there is alerady like 10 teams in the community, it would be better imo to join an existing one, but it doesn't hurt to have your own logo in your game anyway so it's easier to recognise from who the game comes from. Nice logo btw. We could always use the Omnimaga logo too since half of the project members are Omnimaga staff so we got something like:

Screen 1: your logo

Screen 2: Programmed by Omnimaga

Screen 3: Title

On an unrelated note on Jan 1st there is supposed to be another hiring news article, since at this date we're gonna accept some people in the community who make music mostly, I may also accept some people who helps the developpement of calc games or PC games but doesn't necessarly code

I haven't really been following this project since I first noticed it, but I noticed it looks like a definite GOTY/must download. I've only read the first few pages of the topic, but WOW! I cannot wait for this!

I think it's a cool idea, the name is good, and the logo looks freakin sweet. :thumbup:

I'd still really appreciate it if walkable tiles were grouped together because then I could just make one comparison instead of many in order to determine if a tile was walkable.

I created a reference chart for that, remember? It should be a simple matter of assigning this just by tile number. (all you have to do is make a small table no more than 72 lines, right? I could do it for you if you would give me a reference to the code syntax)

What you're asking me to do is recreate every single map in the entire game, because CalcGS will jumble the maps if I move even one tile around. o.o

EDIT: Really nice job getting the map looping to work. :thumbup:

I agree with grendel...

The reference table (Look-Up Table) is the best method for this. The tile number will be the index into the LUT. It is a simple implementation that will make it easy to add and modify tiles to the tileset. As grendel stated, you will not have to modify any maps if you decide to change the definition of a tile -- this will come in handy when you migrate to Lost Legend II.

Some will argue that this method uses more memory -- in some cases it will. But, the benefits outweigh the negatives.
