Drezz Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Man, I haven't felt like such a noob since I first started editing textures for NHL 2000. Ok - here's what I've been doing. Maybe someone can point out what I'm doing wrong in this process. 1) Open the bin file in TM. 2) Set the codec to 4bpp linear. 3) Set the block size to 1 column, 4 rows. 4) Import an internal pallette (in this case Calgary 01955510) size 16, set the byte order to Motorola, 9 bgr Genesis. 5) Start editing my files. 6) Save file (edit.bin) 7) Load bin in Gens. And the players disappear. I spent a whole wack of time editing players and it makes the players disappear. Is it a palette error? Or what have I done wrong in the process. Any help would be appreciated, as I'm really getting tired of this happening in both TM and TLP. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drezz Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 Argh. This is ridiculous. If I edit the file in any way (alter pixels on the sprites) everything disappears. I can't make any changes this way, so it looks like my project = FAILED and over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mack Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm not sure why it's doing it Drezz. Clockwise was able to edit the sticks and eye color. So technically some changes are possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clockwise Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 lol @ the file name - hope this works. Had many of the 4 letter variety myself. As I'm sure you know this game is oldddd (crystal pepsi anyone?) and not conducive to editing. Hopefully someday a master at 68k and assembly will come ride'n in and crack the source so we can make this sexy game Win OS based etc. For the time being edit the sprites with no pallet loaded at all - since this seems to be the issue at hand. Didn't bother loading one when doing the sticks, checking animations, or eyes. If you have trouble identifying the tiles: open two roms simultaneously, load a pallet in one as a refrence, and the other for editing.

Yeah - that was going to be my last ditch attempt. I was actually thinking of doing the changes in the pallette referenced one and pasting it over in the non referenced one and saving it. I'm pretty sure it is a pallette based problem, since all the other things load up - just not the player anims. I guess you can't save it with a new pallette loaded in or it gets all screwed up somehow. I'm just frustrated because I know it can be done. I dont know why I can't...
