TIX Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 Popeye all done !! I changed Olive, did some minor tweaks on Popeye and Brutus and at last changed the bottles with Playsoft's magic thingy The monochrome punch stays, I love it !!

SS Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 This is really nicely done. The new Olive graphic is a good improvement. The best part of the tweaks, though, is the improved punching ability. The original was so hard to time correctly; it's just about perfect now. Thanks for all of your hard work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you man, But if you referring the mechanics of the punch, you have to thank Playsoft for his modified code !

TIX Posted September 29, 2019 Author Share Posted September 29, 2019 And yes, this is really the final version ! Always with the support of Playsoft, we now have a fully functioning sea hug (witch) in all her 2 frame ugly glory Here is the new 'sprite' for her (the two frames share the lower right portion, that's why the foot remain stationary..)

Tempest Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Any chance we can get a .car file? I tried the .xex on my TheCart! but it didn't like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a .car file would be nice. In the time being though, have you tried using Maxflash Studio to make a 1MB .car file in that and then adding it to your TheCart! file?

+Mr Robot Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 What's happening here. Brutus is nowhere near Popeye but Popeye is getting his ass kicked. I just hit the start button, no controller plugged in and watched, then this happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tane Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) Good job. I took an NTSC screenshot (with Altirra) to see the witch: A PAL screenshot with Atari800. (For some reason, the witch doesn't show up in the PNG, picture at the left): Seeing post #90, the witch looks closer / similar with: 56, FC, 24; Left Stairs: 2A. As complement, I was using this palette with good results, it's almost the same to the defaults in Altirra. Time ago Fantomas kindly sent me a palette that helped me a lot. Then I found and created this smaller image for color comparisons: In overall very good. Also, maybe I would remove the smoke because is not appropriate for nowadays.

tane Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Usually these games are aimed and are more interesting for kids, so it's an appropriate detail for to take care. This is not "Call of Duty". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removing the pipe smoke would be a subtle thing but as a father of a little guy that may play this game in a few years, it would be a nice touch. Just wondering if it was possible to make the sea hag's head a little bit smaller, in keeping with the arcade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, having raised 3 boys myself, you probably will have bigger things to concern yourself with than if your 'little guy' sees a puff of smoke come up from a cartoon pipe. Anyway, I'll drop the subject. It's just amusing to me, sorry. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
