General Project Screenshot/Video Thread

- Title screen music sounds like there's someone farting.
- You need to fix the rings counter, when you have no rings. :P
- For some reason the seconds and life counter bothers me where it's placed. Place the life counter more to the left. My 2 cents.
- What happened to Buzz Bomber, when you touch him? D:
- The exploding projectiles of crabmeat are awesome!
- Sunny Hill Act uses cloudiar's level design? ._.
- That special stages is as sexy as hell! Awesome! :specialed:

 

- Title screen music sounds like there's someone farting. [That was just an experiment, because the original music is annoying as hell after the 231276308 time =P]
- You need to fix the rings counter, when you have no rings. :P [Thanks.]
- For some reason the seconds and life counter bothers me where it's placed. Place the life counter more to the left. My 2 cents. [Uh, ok.]
- What happened to Buzz Bomber, when you touch him? D: [Another experiment. The buzz bomber can't die and is exploding (the exploding object harms you now).]
- The exploding projectiles of crabmeat are awesome! [Thanks.]
- Sunny Hill Act uses cloudiar's level design? ._. [Yeah, he revamped his level layouts and gave them to me. I forgot to add that in the description.]
- That special stages is as sexy as hell! Awesome! :specialed: [Heh, thanks.]

 

This is okay, but you need better music that doesn't fit into the category of ear rape.

 

The general music is supposed to be an experiment. It was my VERY FIRST music experience and I'm yet to take overused S2 and S3K songs.

 

Oh man that first act is like Sonic in Contra.

 

Very impressive work Selbi. =3

 

Dude, that's fucked up.

I love it.

Sorry, pal. Metallic Madness Zone did it first.

 

Might as well share this...

 

So I felt like being a show off this morning =P

 

Heh, yeah. Just need to sort out what I'm going to do with each zone.

You like the invincibility music? All I did was port S3's into S1 and haven't changed the tempo... (Mainly because I don't know how so xD)

But thanks X3

 

SCHG:Music_Hacking#Standard_SMPS
If you want to make it faster, raise the sixth byte (listed as 5 there because they start counting from 0); if you want to make it slower, decrease the sixth byte.
If that's not enough, you should change the fifth byte (listed as 4 there) as well. But keep in mind it's much more effective so you shouldn't want to change it.
This is, in short, how to change tempo.

 

You just now said a bunch of stuff about bytes, and numbers, and... what? I'm sorry, my brain shut down the moment you started trying to explain music hacking. Thankfully, I wasn't the person you were talking to.

Max, I wouldn't worry about the tempo if I were you. It actually sounds better at this speed, imo (and judging by Overlord's reaction, his opinion as well). Also, don't listen to him. Your zone names are the most original zone names I have ever seen. Seriously, when was the last time you saw a Sonic game OR hack with those zone names? I love them. I hope you don't change them.

 

I never said the song didn't sound good at that speed. I like it. I was just giving MaxFirestorm a way to edit the tempo in that song if he felt like doing it, or any other song in the future.

 

I never said you said the song didn't sound good at that speed. I was just commenting on how descriptions on music hacking always make my brain shut down.

There needs to be a really good, thorough series of video tutorials for music hacking (for dummies, of course) with commentary. Lots of handholding would be nice too.

Anyway, going off topic.

 

Since when was music hacking 'difficult'? Maybe when there was no documents on it—however we have the SMPS format cracked and it's easy to make small edits or new songs—regardless, the only time I actually found it hard is when I had literally no hex knowledge at all. Then I started porting songs from Crackers... and bleh.

 

Wow... Thats... just plain awsome! :specialed:.

 

Thanks for the information nineko! Just spent a couple of minutes testing about with a sample song (EHZ) and managed to get it to a more suitable tempo XD
