about the Master System graphic sets...
« on: January 04, 2018, 07:20:07 AM »
Before i attempt to recreate each set in the master system version using the clusters found in the mappy editor I want to know...
Does anyone have the Master System sets leftover from the L++ days? The ones by Adam? This includes traps and what not.
I've asked Adam about this but he never got back to me :(

Edit:My only refrences are either look at SMS power for it or recreate it by basing the tile arranging off the amiga versions which will be a nightmare for dirt and crystal

I've looked through old versions. I don't have these sets anywhere.

Adam posted L++ level playthroughs on youtube with his SMS styles, I remember watching some. But I don't remember installing the SMS styles myself.

In all honesty, I think porting different versions of the same tileset is somewhat a waste of effort - not to mention it ends up looking like quite a messy end result. I'd think it's better to put effort into new tilesets. (To be fair, the Master System versions often have actual differences in terrain / etc, unlike Genesis / EGA / etc which are literally just recolors and if anything should be alternative display options user-side than seperate tilesets.)

Being fair these sets are sprited and arranged differently due to hardware limitations and as such would be more justifiable than a simple recolor.
I only ask for these since Adam made these a long time ago.

also i asked insane steve if he has these, he'll go check . if he doesn't have it, I'll have to do guess work which means this
When i make these sets. they will not be 1:1 exactly

Sorry for the necro, but after digging around I found the sets in question from one of my old Lix folders.
Just a note though; most of the tiles are badly upscaled which means they can be blurry, not pixel perfect and sometimes not even power of two.

GigaLem; If you're still interested in making an NL version of the SMS tiles, download the editor from:
http://www.smspower.org/GameEditors/LemmingsMappyConvertor
It includes all of the tiles in a proper pixel perfect 8x8 png format. :)
