NSMB: Flower Journey

[short pelican]

Specifically the 3?

Oh, is it something like there being a Wonder Flower in every level, and a coin is the collectible you get out of one?

[placid urchin]

yeah thats why lol

I don’t have wonder seeds yet (idk if I will honestly) so thats how it is rn

[placid urchin]

you know what thats actually not too bad

[placid urchin]

its been months since i edited these graphics and i hope i wont have to make big changes like this again because it gets so messy 🪦

actually i might wanna remake the smw and cloud backgrounds before implementing it

[dense mountain]

I love how it all looks! It all looks very 3-dimensional which I like a lot

[placid urchin]

I realized ima have to see what I can do about the lives and flower coin counters because the player icon is on the same object as the counter so if I remove the x it just looks like it’s so far away 💔

[placid urchin]

im finally done importing it 😭
comparison again: left is old, right is new ingame

[sick sorrel]

New one is definitely better

[shy matrix]

is there a demo?

[placid urchin]

not yet unfortunately

my plan is that once i finish world 2 (still pretty far away from that) ill start working on getting some playable content out, a 2-world demo prettty much

[shy matrix]

so does this recreate wonder or is it inspired by

[placid urchin]

inspired

[shy matrix]

alr

[onyx osprey]

interesting to see it reverted to the layout of the og :>

[placid urchin]

this reaaally shouldnt have taken me the whole day to make with how simple it is, but hey im glad i got far with it
idk how to make it slippery tho since its a platform and not a solid 🥹 but thats for another time

[short oracle]

yo nice

I'd give them a little acceleration personally, but they look nice

[sick sorrel]

Insane

Awesome work Frosty

[rapid shale]

Would've been possible to use different sound?

I don't remember all of nsbmds sounds but i feel like there would've been more fitting one?

Either way, very good work

[placid urchin]

uhhh not really sure what sound i could use.. but I could try to find one
I did want to like, use the lakitu sounds for when the icicle falls lmao

im just worried about sound sets

[wild gorge]

Ohhhhh

Good job!!!!

[sick sorrel]

Unfortunately, the Lakitu throwing a Spiny sound effect only plays if you use sound set 22, I coincidentially discovered this a couple of days ago when making one of my levels

[placid urchin]

yeah,,,

wonder how I could make my own so I can have it with other sounds i could use

[sick sorrel]

It's not that hard, you can directly edit sound sets in Nitro Studio 2, Illy explained how to do it here #1218059119014051982 message (I'm too lazy to explain it myself, so I prefer forwarding Illy's explanation)

[placid urchin]

maybe you’re thinking of the chain chomp chain sound? (I’ll send it in a bit)

it doesn’t really sound like ‘destroyed/break’ tho

this

[rapid shale]

If only i had every nsmbds sound effect i would help you to find the right fitting one

[placid urchin]

nitrostudio 2

[rapid shale]

This one could've been good if it were louder

[rapid shale]

true lol

it's 5 am for me either way and i was supposed to be asleep 5 hours ago

instead i relapsed and started working on random stuff lmao

[stone steppe]

You could always like, just add a sound

And if ur worried about sound sets just use one of those empty sounds that are always loaded

There is a lot of them

[placid urchin]

i'd like to do that actually
did you explain somewhere how to do it or somethin?

-# i kinda have a general idea of how to do it but im still unsure

[rapid shale]

Oh also i forgot, regarding the sprite, it's a very good one but if you could reduce those small white sparkles, by that i mean make them more blend i guess

[placid urchin]

i found this rly good rip of nsmbwii sounds in mfgg and this is in

[stone steppe]

only limitation is that the sound effects need to be in a sub area, I dont have a hook to make them load in the main area when you enter a level, gimmie a sec to explain it

first of all, you need this
ncp_repl(0x02012044, "cmp r12, #0xFFFFFFFF");
it disabled this check which allows more sound archives to be added

gonna quickly strip down the .hpp file for extended sfx so its not a mess with all my stuff

[placid urchin]

}

and this is the .hpp you need, this is an example of adding two groups of sound effects

name this smth like sfx.hpp and have it in ur root folder, then use the functions at the bottom of the .hpp to play the extended sfx

[placid urchin]

alr ty, ill look into it soon

[rapid shale]

Honestly, if you added a small fade out and added tap sound with small volume and beginning you would nicely replicate original sound

way more fun that getting from wii honestly lmao

[river forge]

Peak

[placid urchin]

okay im finally done with this, i (don't) promise to not redesign these powerups for the 5th time 🥹
top is old bottom is new

[feral pasture]

Wonderful

[wild gorge]

Theyre so cuteee 🥺

[rapid shale]

Honestly, too green

[placid urchin]

hmmmm

[sick sorrel]

The green color is fine, don't listen to Afterlight

[rapid shale]

It looks like that is about to pew

add another layer with the mushroom part and set the opacity to around half and it's good

@placid urchin How many tris your mushroom has btw?

[placid urchin]

im confused on what u mean by this 😭

[rapid shale]

Triangles

oh shit wrong question

[placid urchin]

no i mean the sprite lol

also the mushrooms share the same sprite but different palettes so i cant be 100% free with it either

[placid urchin]

220 btw

like 20 ish more than the og one

[rapid shale]

put this part over the green one, set the opacity to half and merge it

[placid urchin]

i could very easily delete tris from the back tho but i cant be bothered

[rapid shale]

Nsmb2 one has 322

around

[rapid shale]

Ah fuck that, no point

some will steal it and use it for 3D game, imo good

[placid urchin]

the colors or the shape cause i cant change the shape without affecting the normal one (and i like the new shape more)

its just that one pixel but yeah lmao

[rapid shale]

Why you can't change the colours? palettes?

[placid urchin]

i did this

[rapid shale]

Yeah way better

[placid urchin]

i can changge the colors but they use the same sprite so i gotta make sure they both look good

[rapid shale]

Yeah i know, i didn't talk anything about changing pixels apart from color 😭

[placid urchin]

oh lol

idk why but i thought i already imported them ingame, im gonna get to that later

[sick sorrel]

You probably already know this, but personally, I recommend saving each color of the mushrooms in the same order they should be in the palette, that way you can replace the colors in the ncl very easily and it's also convenient in case you wanna make some changes to them at some point

That's what I did with my jyotyu

It makes editing these kind of graphics less tedious and more manageable

[placid urchin]

if you mean organize them like this where they're sorted by light/hue then yeah, i started doing this a while back and its so much better 😭

[sick sorrel]

I meant more like, if you're drawing graphics, extract their colors with Aseprite and save them so you can import them into Nitro Paint and easily customize palette swaps to your liking

I have a file containing all the colors from the Jyotyu palette in .png format, separated into different layers to help me keep everything organized, so all I have to do is import the colors into Nitro Paint and copypaste the necessary graphics

I explained this very poorly but I think you get what I mean

[placid urchin]

ohhhh yeah i've done this a few times, i should do it more

its def really useful

[placid urchin]

yeah i might do this once i get to importing the jyotyu and stuff

i kinda wanna edit it a bit to look cleaner but at the same time i also feel like they look pretty fine so idk 🥹

[placid urchin]

wtf i unintentionally made a green koopa reserve while importing this stuff lmao

[placid urchin]

@ ndymario petition to make this and all user project threads disappear after 7 days instead of 3

#general message @rapid shale left is autumn (wip) and right is forest
for forest i thought i like how it looks, but my problem is how it tiles and the fact that the semisolid (yellow part) has grass on the sides, i also wouldve liked to give it more decor/improve it tbh

[rapid shale]

Imo the forest one is nearly perfect, honestly one of my fav tilesets in all of nsmbds communit

i would only improve the flowers

regarding autumn one, the grass pattern could've been impropve and a bit the ground pattern as well, a bit blurry

[placid urchin]

yeah lol, looking at it again it might also be one of my faves

[placid urchin]

tbh it's moreso meant to be rocky and not grassy, but i should probably try another design for it

[fair bobcat]

https://tenor.com/view/shenron-dragon-ball-ball-super-broly-gif-13905572

I didn't know I could change it tbh lol

[placid urchin]

i remembered i changed it a while ago i think and then it changed back for some reason lol

[lethal ermine]

Petition to make creators disappear after 7 days if no updates are delivered

[wild gorge]

Starting by.....

[graceful citrus]

Optember 32nd, Infinity’th century

[sick sorrel]

Fuzzy revived? In this economy???

[wild gorge]

He is now greedy unfortunately

[lethal ermine]

Im barely alive but I plan to make a comeback

Funny cause I said my hack would be done this summer 💀😭

[placid urchin]

blazing adventure for winter!

[rapid shale]

freezing adventure

[placid urchin]

1-1 somehow became one of if not the most beautiful level yet
ill show it in a moment lol

[wild gorge]

Ohhhh interesting!

[placid urchin]

a very wonderful glowup

[wild gorge]

WOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWW :0

[short pelican]

I liked the DS bushes tbh

[rapid shale]

my tip that anything on bottom bg should have it's edges smoothed out, i hope you can still do that if you have still all the layers

i though you would do that lmao

[placid urchin]

yeah i do have the layers dw, i just didnt bother to do it 😭

though that layer is also at like, the very border of the parallax so idk
(referring to the multiple scroll speeds in the bg)

ill see what i can do

[rapid shale]

also do you have fucking 3 layered bgs?? those stones move at different pace, how

[placid urchin]

theres a reason i asked dm about the bg scrolling lol

yeah i wanted to make the stone pipes move faster than the mountains, then the blue hills move faster than them, and then the flowers at the bottom move the fastest

[rapid shale]

https://klipy.com/gifs/saruman-palantir--k01KRRWFY76NK3AYZWYY4SS0N4Y

give me this knowledge

[rapid shale]

@sick sorrel steal this now

[sick sorrel]

No

[placid urchin]

#nsmb-programming message look here

be cautious u gotta make it look like it doesnt affect the rest of the bg btw, thats why theres al ot of blank green covering the pipes

[wild gorge]

Thanks for the knowledge

[placid urchin]

if it had any detail, that detail would move alongside it

[sick sorrel]

Also, definitely a huge improvement, the former BG was very crunchy whiel the new one looks like something official, great work Frosty

[verbal ruin]

Everybody bandits smh

[rapid shale]

Does it work like that the selected area from code is moving at certain speed? Something like the clouds but depending when mario moves?

[placid urchin]

yeah basically
say i wanted only the red to move at a specific speed, i would get the y pixel coord of the bottom of that section (subtracted by 1), then select the speed and thats it

''auto'' in the scrollsection makes it move like if it were the clouds btw

thats why the fg scroll has that in one of the sections

actually i wonder if nintendo used this for anything other than clouds

[rapid shale]

damn, if i'll make another bg ill consider trying out this thing with zstar

[placid urchin]

its a hardware feature

[sick sorrel]

Frosty I'm gonna destroy you

[placid urchin]

it's his fault

[sick sorrel]

Now Afterlight is gonna force me to implement 3 layered backgrounds

[sick sorrel]

And yours for showing him this feature

[placid urchin]

honestly it's still decently limited so u cant abuse it a lot unless u make the bg look flat for a big part of it which is what i did

[rapid shale]

brother have you seen how desert bg's look like

[placid urchin]

iirc in purps' trees background he made the clouds parallax slower since they're entirely a flat color below

[rapid shale]

i acn make 20 layered fcking bg

[placid urchin]

-# yes 😭

[short oracle]

for the moving bonus room backgrounds also

[placid urchin]

wait, you’re referring to the flowers at the very bottom of the foreground right? or is it something else

[rapid shale]

Every object on bottom bg

In nsmbds not every bg is like that but personally i think it's better like this

[placid urchin]

ohhh I see

well, I prob won’t get to it now but when I do I hope it doesnt take up too many tiles lol

[rapid shale]

if you have all the layers, i can do it in a few seconds

@placid urchin

[placid urchin]

yeah i have an aseprite with all of it, ill send later

[wooden cedar]

if the bg doesnt scroll vertically at all you could make the section of pipes thatre above the blue mountains part of the top bg so that a bit of the green mountains could scroll under them
