Has anyone done this beyond the display of shields? I think it would be neat for armour, other weapons, pouches, bags, boots, etc., I assume that this would need to be part of a global script, unless there is an easier way to do it (without shield cheating).

I thought everything could do the link tile modifiers?

[Binx]

Everything *can* do the Link Tile Modifiers, there's no script needed. It's under the GFX tab in the item editor.

And be sure to check the rule Expanded Link tile modifiers.

As Avataro mentioned, you will probably want the "Expanded Link Tile Modifiers". With it, all of Link's graphics will be offset to the new ones. Without it, only Link's stand/walk down and side sprites will change (matching the behavior of the magic shield in LoZ).

Just remember that each modification adds to the total displacement, so if you have, for example, 4 pieces of armour that can be found in any order you can't order your sprite sets in the tilesheet like:

 

0: No armour

1: With piece 1

2: With piece 2

3: With piece 3

4: With piece 4

etc.

 

You need to order them like this:

 

0: No armour

1: With piece 1

2: With piece 2

3: With piece 2 and 1

4: With piece 3

5: With piece 3 and 1

6: With piece 3 and 2

7: With piece 3 and 2 and 1

8: With piece 4

9: With piece 4 and 1

10: With piece 4 and 2

11: With piece 4 and 2 and 1

12: With piece 4 and 3

13: With piece 4 and 3 and 1

14: With piece 4 and 3 and 2

15: With piece 4 and 3 and 2 and 1

 

Use tile modifier values 1, 2, 4 and 8 for each piece and you get this. If you want to have different shields as well you need to duplicate the Link sets for each shield and use 16/32/48/etc. tile mod values.
