Multiplayer Legend of Zelda

ALttP music sounds great!

By the way... will you only give the game to five/four players, or can anyone join in?
And those who can't play anymore (sleep, eat, etc.), will they be able to disconnect without ruining it for everyone else? What about saving?

I think you should spend time with the SNES version then since it can be alot more easy.

My ideas made it so it wouldn't take you much work in terms of the co-op system. I am happy that you can use my ideas on this. ZNES also has netplay and it works good.

I have a question. You can edit the colors of Links sprite right? you should use the picture I made that gives off the idea on what it could look like.

I wouldn't remake the music yet but it's nice that you found something to change music for the future. (perhaps a remastered ALTTP?)

While a player is playing. Another player can join in at anytime by pressing the button. they can quit and not ruin the game for anyone else.

Remember the ideal game is offline not online.

Also here is another mock up image I used with the GBA with MS paint. This stimulates the idea for the SNES version. We see player 2 talking to a person.

Ah, looks like you're going for the SNES rom.

If you do decide to make the SNES rom online, would it require a specific emulator?

If I make the five players, it would have to be on zsnes. other than that, no specifics. Also, my computer can't handle some of the tools I found*SIGH*
so it will take just as long as I thought it would. I made some sprite color hacks I want you all to see. I tried changing link's hair and i kinda like it as a light brown. the tunic colors are the important part though.

Sorry, still more.

Two greens? Can't one be black? As in Dark/Shadow Link?

One last pic here. Srry for the triple post

I won't/can't change the music. I misinterpreted the readme file. I did start messing around with sprite colors. I can also change the shield/sword colors, but until I have time to get the sword and sheild, I won't deal with those. Any suggestions for tunic colors or for any other sprites, just tell me.

can you use the color tunics i did on this page? thanks

Conceded much? lol just kidding. You really don't need to repeat yourself that much. I did notice an orange stripe in link's hat. I'm not too sure what I'll do about that.

All good here. It just gets bleah reading the same thing over and over. I don't mean to sound rude. It doesn't bother me. I really don't have much for color choices; i think the standard green, red, and blue will stay, I'm not fond of purple, and i would still need another color for the fifth player. As previously mentioned by the other Hero of darkness(their name escapes me, sorry) I want to try and make it so the players can choose their own colors, probably by use of the d-pad prior to joining the game. Hope you all enjoyed the pics, I'll be back tomorrow.

One last thing before I go to bed. In honor of the Goron Moron and the christmas season, I made one last link sprite, changing the orange stripe to a white (I like making the color changes)

I agree. I gotta try saying new stuff. it blehs me as well.

How come some of the tools arent working? i wonder if the ones that don't work on your set can work on mine.

Ha ha ha! Santa Link, I love it.

Hmmm... how do you zoom in to see attached images? :/

make it for mac power pc

To: crownjo

My horrible OS(vista) doesn't support fullscreen dos, so i cannot use them on my laptop. I have a desktop I can use them on (it uses XP), but i haven't had time to move them to that yet, and i kinda don't want to use a family computer for my own personal project, cause seom ***hole may just decide to delete it. I'll get it working. Thank you for offering to help.

To: Goron Moron

Thanks! there was an orange stripe i found in link's hat, and then i thought about santa! YAY! (sorry, I'm a little excited about christmas) So i changed it white. As for the zoom, it depends on the program you are viewing the pics in. I'm sorry i didn't expand them before posting. I could of also cut out links house, but I'm lazy. I can't even capitalize all the "i"s i type.

Hello and let me welcome you to ZU. I noticed this is your first post. If you don't know how rom files, or emulators work yet, you might want to look into it. I'm not making a program, I'm hacking a rom file that can be run on a program. It is not OS specific. and even if it was, I wouldn't waste my time to make it run on a mac. But I'm not going to turn this thread into a PC vs. Mac. if you don't have it already, check out parallels. It's a bit pricey, but it turns your piece of crap mac into something that runs PC software. As my friend says, "It's a PC emulator on a computer emulator." No offence Mac users, Vista is no better.

It is nice to see people are still learning of this. I think it is funny that I started with the original LOZ and we managed to change the project into LOZ:LTTP. I have thought of some problems that will arise in the single screen display. Not all areas are a simple square. Some, such as kakariko village, are an enormous map that scrolls. It seems no matter how i go about doing this, I will have to reprogram the display functioning. I'll probably make it follow characters evenly, so they can't move too far one way without the others following. OR, i could make the screen zoom out. Though that sounds like it would be more difficult to do, and then players won't be able to see as well, plus the processor might not be able to handle it. I've never had to reprogram a screen disply function, so I have no idea how simple, or complex it may be. Once again, We'll burn that bridge when we get there, right? Catch you guys, later!

When will it be avaiable...?

Again, I would like to remind everyone that I'm only 16 (17 in three more days) and have a lot going on right now. Also my young mind keeps getting distracted. I'm not saying I'm not going to finish, cause I am. But still it will take time. As of now, I'm taking a short break to make an Xmas(whatever holiday you celebrate) gift for everyone. It won't be much, but hopefully I'll have the patience to get it perfect before Xmas. I'll *hopefully* have it available for download christmas morning. Look forward to it!

You rock HoS.

You made my dream come true. I think zooming out the screen would make it run bad. I think you should do somthing like Secret of Mana did. If you can.

*QUICK POLL

what should I do about the armor upgrades that would normally change the color of link's tunic? Probably nothing, right? Just keep the same colors? Cause that is what I was thinking.
