Kurt, it may be a quest rule en/disabled. When I made the item tiles, I tested them extensively to make sure they animated correctly, and I had no issues.

Okay, I think I have this figured out. By default, the Wooden Boomerang sprite is Sprite #04. In Firebird, Sprite #04 is the Fire Arrow. Even though all the different menus appear to have the settings changed to the appropriate sprite, it still seems to use Sprite #04 regardless. Any ideas why every drop-down box is ignoring the chosen settings and sticking with the default?

I just tested it myself, and, that's a kick in the pants. It looks like Goriya has some sort of weapon sprite that changes depending on which boomerang the player has. Dumbest thing I've ever seen... especially considering it ignores the boomerang rules and flips, instead of animates.

 

See, I felt the need to re-organize all the weapons and items alphabetically, and by number. Figured that, since I was testing everything anyway, and I could, I would. That way, everything was in order (Swords were in order from lowest power/number to highest, etc.). Here I was feeling pretty good about all that work, then you had to come along and ruin it! Sigh...

 

I should have this fixed in the next release.

Well yeah, Goriyas normally always use the same boomerang sprite as Link does.

[link3505]

So, unless someone is actively using the quest file right now, the issue has been fixed. I added new sprites for the Goriya equivalent of the boomerangs, and re-added new sprites for Fire, Ice, and Light arrows. Tested it in the quest, and seems to work fine.

 

Seems like there should be a quest rule to fix this stupid behavior.

So I've asked the team if they can import their new stuff into the questfile, whenever that's done I will release a new version of the file for everybody to use.

[Jared]

Can you guys release the tiles themselves, too? That way people don't need to download an entire new file for just a few tiles.

[Supindahood]

I could try that :)

Ooooooo, an update! I've been waiting patiently for this, and hopefully I will get my rust off and make some random screens for fun.

[Linkus]

Hit a bit of a snag right now. I'm trying to get the subscreen into a working state again (something happened to it between saves when I first opened it today) and I got to get the life and magic gauges working again. All I can say is, who designed this interface for the gauges with such descriptive abandon? Here's hoping something better and more comprehensible appears in RC4...

[Jared]

Here's my magic meter from my quest. It can be changed into any colors you want. I modeled it after the large Firebird one.

 

 

Enjoy! You can also put it in the default pack for Firebird, if you guys like.

I hate to double post, but are you guys working on new dungeon elements? Mine feel very bare.

A reposting from another thread...

 

I've noticed that Firebird is lacking several CSets and decided to build a couple of custom ones to use until we get the update with the real CSets. Keep in mind that these were developed for my personal use, as you may want to replace one of the gradients with another colour and are not representative of the final CSets.

 

CSets are 10 and 11 from left to right

CSet 10 uses gradients of Crimson/Pink and Brimstone Green (Or Brass ) for the primary features.

CSet 11 uses gradients of Deep Purple and Mud Brown/Grey for the primary features. The Brown/Grey could be removed in place of Light Blue, but I already have those elsewhere and I'm not afraid to run 8-bit.

 

These are their effects on a selection of enemy sprites:

Very nice, tyvm!
Can't wait till the intended final release comes out :3

That reminds me, I should get around to finishing up those crypt tiles. Corner pillars are giving me a hard time.
