TIX Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 ok new animation added (apple gobbling + chewing fygars in place) ! I just realized that the letter monster (letter pooka now) can eat apples too.. and it has his own set of animation for chewing. I haven't noticed before, because In the original mr. Do, the chewing animation of the two type of monsters is almost the same.. Lets do it better Mr. Do! - (wip4).xex 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIX Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Latest wip attached ! Pookas have been included (only on the going right direction) I have run into a graphic glitch (a pesky line) that is only visible on the second frame of the pookas animation.. I haven't been able to track this down, so I'm asking for any help or advice edit: The problematic frame starts at: 4fd1 Mr. Do! - (taizo wip5 pookas).xex Edited February 17, 2019 by TIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIX Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) Hey MrFish Somehow I have made the assumption that on the soft sprites we only have available the background colors.. Edited February 18, 2019 by TIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I'm currently thinking about the pooka transformation.. In Dig Dug they turn into ghosts (well ghost eyes to be exact) with minimum animation like the ones below.. But here we have a full set of sprites with 4 directions and 3 frames of animation in each, I will probably have to pump it up a bit, or choose another critter from the dig dug universe.... I don't know yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Somehow I have made the assumption that on the soft sprites we only have available the background colors.. I guess you mean playfield colors, which is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If you want to keep Taizo red, for his skin color, you can change the pookas, cherries, and apples to a slightly different red -- so they stand out from Taizo. The offset is at $038B. Mr. Do! - (taizo wip7 pookas) green fygar, alt. red cherries-pooka.xex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIX Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 (edited) I was settled to the original mr Do colors, but now you spoiled me for choice :P I love blue taizo ! It makes the game even more colorful, I don't know about the others yet.. Can we have a version with blue Taizo only ? In the meantime can you help me find the lives indicator icon ? Thanks again Edited February 18, 2019 by TIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the game even more colorful, I don't know about the others yet.. Can we have a version with blue Taizo only ? Yeah, I wasn't sure which you'd prefer, since Dig Dug II has him with blue arms but peach colored skin. It's your call, I'm just testing some things out. In the meantime can you help me find the lives indicator icon ? The lives indicator graphics are at $39CF. Speaking of the lives indicator, I think you're working with a bum copy of the game. When it gets to the cut scene, I always get this kind of garbage on the screen. The font data on the bottom is shifted around, all those zeros appear, and any extra Mr. Do's go over to the right and get their heads cut off. I'd suggest migrating the data over to a tested copy. I'm not sure where I got mine, but I just tested the one from Homesoft (minimally) and it looks good, and includes the splash text info for the game (like the disk version shows), which is nice.

+MrFish Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Bummer are you sure it's a problem of the copy, or I messed something up ? I doubt you messed anything up. I've seen a few bum copies floating around on the net. In fact, the Homesoft copy seems to have problems too. I played it for a while and it's having problems on the lower display as well, with numbers popping up where they shouldn't be and stray graphics data flickering in and out. I rechecked the copy that I'm using for my hack and I can't see anything wrong with it. So, I can give you a copy of that to work with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
