The Man in the Red Cap [Cancelled] (Released Early Beta) - Works in Progress

Hi all!

I've decided to make a hack... I've decided to make many, but this one I AM going to finish.

I currently have no story. Mainly just Graphic Changes and a Snippet of a level.

Level 1. (Currently Unnamed). Like my status bar?

Is that a Mushroom?

Now i'm big!

Stomping some Koopas.

"I'm the King of the mountain(s)!"

A Vine! It leads to a Yoshi Coin!

Showing off the Yoshi Coin on the status bar.

Thats it at the moment! I'm using SML2 Mario, with the Raccoon Patch on.

Comments/(CONSTRUCTIVE) criticism would be great!

Currently doing ExGFX Requests, please send me a PM, and i'll TRY to do what you want.

This hack looks pretty good, although, in the status bar, I would edit the Mario head to look like the mario you have now. Also, I think the Yoshi Coin looks pretty weird. But I think this hack will be fun to play.

Thanks for the reply Mockingod.

I did edit that Mario head from the one I have now. But because i'm reduced to 3 colours (One being Black) I couldnt put the white around his eyes.

The Mario head looks fine to me but the coin, indeed, looks pretty bad. I'd edit it as well. Everything else looks very nice and neat.

Thanks for your comment, but I need to ask, which coin are you referring to? The Ones in the status bar, the normal coin or the Yoshi Coin?

I think it may be a bit late to change it, but I dislike the FG. It looks really bland, with random, awkward, ugly blotches and awkward grass(especially slopes).

On the other hand, I am really liking the SML2 Mario, status bar, and amazing enemy/mushroom graphics!
Well, I'd tweak the mushroom palette to be less orange, but that might effect the beautiful Koopas, so...

Your layout has been removed.

I'm going to Keep the grassland. I ripped it from a spritesheet (Which by the way is where the blocks, coins and most blocks come from.) and most of my Hack is going to consist of graphics from this Spritesheet. The Koopas you can actually find in the ExGFX section, just look for em.

In other news...

USERBAR AHOY!

Quote for the code.

I also thought up a name!

"The Man in the Red Cap" is the official name now.

Wow, Selin, your hack looks awesome! Both the sprite and BG-FG graphics adds a very happy, "Mario-ish" feel to the level's atmosphere. Honestly, I don't have any problems with the foreground graphics, I really like them.
I like the title too. It's pretty funny in my opinion.

So yeah, keep it up.

e: I added the userbar to my profile ;D

Looks great!
Personally I like the Yoshi Coin....
Also I see your using SML2 Mario GFX, Nice.

you are a fucking winner.

don't let this hack fail.

Quoted for the extremly awesome truth!
I love the SML2 Mario as well! That game kicked ass, and if executed correctly so will this hack!

I will become alive again sometime soon.

I'm liking everything so far. I'm not sure about the Yoshi coin. I would fix it so that the white area is a little more O shaped. I might get rid of the smile. As for everything else, it's perfect!

Lol, thanks.

Anyway, because of school, the next update wont come for a while, but one will come sometime this week.

In other news, I will need beta testers at some point, so I may as well ask now...

Eh, what the heck, looks like a fun hack. I'll be a tester. I have school though. But I think next week, I have a 4 day weekend.

I'll beta test your hack.

Can I be a beta-tester please? I'm very thorough, and can spot errors well.

I will become alive again sometime soon.

Sign me up as a tester!
This looks promising enough, but even the greatest looking of hacks needs some polishing from outside sources!

Hi everyone!

As I Promised, MORE UPDATES!

The start of the new part of my level (Sorry that there are no enemies, I killed them all.)

Which way to go?

One leads to a 1-up.

A Fire flower?

I had to make the Fire Pallete myself... You like?

Aww, no 1-up this way! (Also awesome Rex Graphics =D)

I wonder whats down there...

Phew! Lucky the Arrows were there to warn me!

A Pond! (Darkened water where the ground is FTW.)

AHH! GIANT BULLET!

And thats the end for now!

Comments/CONSTRUCTIVE Criticism would be nice...

(Also, if you want to know if your a beta tester, check back to my Last post, because I have a list there that I Update.)

The darkened water looks great. It reminds me of YI.

Two graphical complaints I have: the rexes seem a bit too square, and the top of the mushroom seems a bit blotchy. Other than that, all the graphics look great!

It looks very good!

Could you perhaps shade the edges of the darkened water? It may work, it may not, but see if it makes it look a bit less flat.Super Mario World Hacks 101
