    The background with all the stars, and the waterfall is really well done. one of the coolest backgrounds I have ever seen in a Sonic game. Tell me how you did it!

    Working on a vulkan game engine for fun. Learning Ray-Tracing.
    Thanks

    I used sonED for the tile editing.

    Make EHZ's background act like Wood Zone.

    For the highest part the background. I used dark blue for the main color of AFZ. I put 1 white dot on 4 differnt 8X8 tiles. It doesn't matter where. But I wouldn't put them to close to each other or it won't look good. Then you have to put them on 4 diffrent 16X16 tiles. Put the 16X16 tiles in 128X128 tiles randomly. You have to the 128X128 tiles on the bottom row or it will look like this.

    *thinking*
    Damn this is gonna get harder for me to explain.


    For the next row, do what you did for the 1st row of 128X128 tiles. The red numbers are where you can put the 16X16 tiles in randomly.

    1-1 1-2 1-3 1-4 1-5 1-6 1-7 1-8
    2-1 2-2 2-3 2-4 2-5 2-6 2-7 2-8

    3-1 3-2 3-3 3-4 3-5 3-6 3-7 3-8
    4-1 4-2 4-3 4-4 4-5 4-6 4-7 4-8
    5-1 5-2 5-3 5-4 5-5 5-6 5-7 5-8
    6-1 6-2 6-3 6-4 6-5 6-6 6-7 6-8
    7-1 7-2 7-3 7-4 7-5 7-6 7-7 7-8
    8-1 8-2 8-3 8-4 8-5 8-6 8-7 8-8

    For the other parts of the sky. This is what you have to do..

    T=darker sky
    L=lighter sky

    T T T T T T T T
    T T T T T T T T
    T T T T T T T T
    T T T T T T T T
    T T T T T T T T
    L T L T L T L T
    T L T L T L T L
    L T L T L T L T

    You might want to make a couple extra copies of them. So you can put in a white dot for a star. You also need to make a 8X8 tile or 2 (with a star or 2 in it) of the lighter color except for the color.

    Now you have to take the 16X16 tiles of the island that was in EHZ, and put them in a row lower then the lightest row of stars. You have to color the sky that the island is on the lightest color. Now you have to take 16X16 tile 172, and put them a row below the island on. On the final row. fill it with tile 176.

    On the 128X128 below that one. Use 128X128 tile 28 on the whole row. On the one below use tile 26.

    For the water fall palletes. Use ESE and lower everything by 2.

    Lost, you didn't know how it was done? It's kinda basic stuff. I do agree that it looks nice, though.

    Your friendly neighbourhood lemming. Oldbie
    This is great because now everyone can understand how it was done, not just LOst, especially with what seems to be a very good explanation from .hack//zero. I'm not one of these hackery types so I should shut up but I just like the community feel in this thread and had to say something ^^
