Rykon-V73 - the BG converter - Return of the Berry - Extra Day... or so I thought

Hey. Looks like I'm at part 6. This time, I have 2 converted layer 3 BGs to show. It reminds me of the 1st part. Both BGs comes from the same game. We'll have to go towards Mario's rival, Sonic, as the games are now his. Here's the first one:

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Ice Cap Zone - Act 1 - layer 3

This layer 3 BG came with very accurate results. Only the mountains above the bigger ones were annoying as I didn't know what color to pick for those.


The palette can be edited with little trial and error.


Uses 139 8x8 tiles. Now for screens as it is the first time I do this:


BG in game.

Feedback welcome. I'll post 1 more tomorrow.

It's Day 2. I am not getting anything for this. Then again, there doesn't to be much attention at C3.
This layer 3 BG should surprise them a bit more since little of the work is original, even though it's ripped.

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Hydrocity Zone - Act 1 - layer 3


I wasn't able to convert the light window and the candles because of the color. The rest is there and results look good. Hmm... you think: he didn't show all of this or is it because the lower part of the layer 3 are bricks? Well, then get ready for this:


I've drawn the lower part of the BG. The bricks are still from the game. The furthest pole and window are by me. The palette is easy, because:


It uses only 3 layer 3 palettes. GFX for the curious ones:


Uses 90 tiles total.

Feedback appreciated.

For what it's worth, these conversions look absolutely fantastic.
I mean - as expected from you by now - seriously.

By now most people are aware that you're very good at this.
I think you're helping many people out here who appreciate what you're doing... making Layer2-level appear like "normal" levels with such complex BGs as this.

For whatever reason I personally decided to stick to the original Layer3-status-bar, which makes using such BGs quite tricky in my case.

Thank you both. Now:
@lo fang 123: I did find the Casino Night Stage in Sonic 3. I just need to see how it animates for an idea. There will be some limitations if I do convert this BG to layer 3.

Before I call Day 2's end, I need to show a preview of some BG that's done for tomorrow:



Feedback welcome.

Day 3. I did get 2 responses yesterday. Not sure if it will be the same or if it will improve. I do suppose you did see the BG preview. Now it's time to show it:

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Launch Base Zone - Act 2 - ..........


This looks like the layer 2 version of the BG. What's the deal? Wait until you see this:


It is a layer 3 BG and it uses 113 tiles. Time for palette.


It uses every palette and it's easy to edit.

Before I end the post, I need to discuss with you something about 'Mario Saves His Pal'.

What's next?

Well, since it did run into a dilemma where I did need to run more than 1 code for the world 3 fortress, I'm stuck. I was thinking of skipping that level and go straight into world 4-1 that marks the start of the water level. You'll be on ground at first. You do eventually swim in 4-2.
Also, as a generous thing, if I can manage, I'll try to use the Overworld Revolution patch as a test on an overworld not started and as I get good with it, I might use it on my hack.

And now, feedback welcome.

First of all, I would have said it's extra day, but unfortunately, I don't have anything to show. This seemed to be one of my lesser attempts. I was also going to show you progress on a Yoshi's Island layer 3 underwater BG, but I can't track it anymore.
I was also going to attempl lo fang 123's idea of converting the Casino Night Zone of Sonic 3 into layer 3, but for that one, some GFX limitations had to be included, such as different GFX, but not so different that it isn't recognizable.
Hopefully I do a little better at layer 3 conversion, as now, it didn't seem much to me.
I still think it was a bit of fun.
I'll be seeing you at the next C3 with content. Bye!

Very late and I'm not very familiar with these BGs, but they look pretty detailed for layer 3!
