Is it possible to use Link Tile Modifiers to have an 8-bit color Link?
I'm using Pure DoR but having recolored Firebird Link. Which of course screws the entire Palette switching rings to the point where Link gets the Red Ring of Undead or something, 'cause he's completely grey.
But I thought maybe I could use LTMs to have the ring palette not be a cset change? And still use shields?
I see what you Firebird geniuses did with the differently-colored hat / tunic and wanted to do something like that, but maybe have the hat be the same color until Link gets a certain upgrade (or, doesn't, if he chooses to get different upgrades.)
Lots of tile pages? Okay, I'm prepared for that. Math? I can do it to figure out the Tile numbers and such. Rearranging Csets? I'm out.
I'm PRETTY sure this is the harder way to go about this, but I really am scared of screwing these palettes up.
My question is... if the Tile Modifiers change the point of reference for all Link *sprites*, Whats the best way to set them up for different combinations of Ring / Shield / Hat? Even if these changes are merely a few pixels, it might save a lot of Active Subscreen space, which is worth it.
(If it makes it easier, I really want to have the GB Shield script too, but I don't know what to do to implement that. But at least that way theres a big black line between "weapons and tools" (active use) vs "Equipment" (wearable, passive status / movement upgrades).
I'm pretty sure Moosh isn't going to like me wanting help changing my list of scripts to another tileset...again :-(
Oh, which reminds me... I'm making headway reorganizing the Pure DoR set for 2.5. Anyone willing to help me with it a bit?
Oh, one more thing. A little birdy on FB told me that Radien's computer is fixed. Which is great news for the community. Just a heads up. :-)
