Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I just had to add to it since I've been working for the past few days on making full maps of the game too (before I found out about this forum).
My intent is not to compete with those already working on this but simply to make my own maps (I've done quite a bit of screenshot maps for various console and PC games so far), parallax background and everything.
I must admit that so far, the most annoying thing to deal with is the constantly shifting colour palettes. Aside from the actual stages, everything else is constantly (yet subtly) changing colour, from Veridian and crew to the room names and the various enemies. I was hoping that disabling the special effects in the graphical options would put a stop to it, but sadly no
If anyone here had plans to do just such a map with backgrounds and everything, please tell me right away so I don't waste my time on a project that will be outdated before it's even finished...
*EDIT*
I wonder if it would be possible for Terry to provide us with the default RGB values for the various animated elements, if it was easy for him to do so (like when he simply pasted the code with all the room names in the wiki thread)? I'd also like to know if the parallax background of The Tower is the same as the one from the title screen since I can only capture a very small part of it?
