No I wasn't trying to edit the palette. I just let DSVania import the sprite set with the closest colors it can. When I open Ninja Gaiden Trilogy in YYCHR. There are no sprites anywhere. Just Title screen and options menu stuff. And when pull up AOS in YYCHR, J sprite is all over the place, and Soma sprite not aligned properly (upper half right and lower half left). Is much easier to export sprites from DSVania, as they are already in position needed to properly display in game. Once sprites exported, open old sprites and new sprites in paint.net, remove color from background, copy new sprite, paste over old sprite in same position. By the way what Ryu sprite sheet did you use? I was trying to improve a couple of animations, like greatsword and spear, and change jump kick to spin slash, but all the sprites I found don't match. There are functions in YY chr to change view of sprite (try its face buttons, + - etc). DS vania unable to do many things, be it portrait edit or specific character support (Maxim for example). YY chr works for that. I used nes Hayabusa sprite. Ah I see. I didn't know I could change the view. There is no bar to move editing area horizontally for me, only vertically. All of the NES Ryu sprite sheets I have downloaded, do not match the ones I pulled from yours with DSVania. The outlines and colors do not match on any of them. Could you send me a copy of your sprite sheet so that I know I'm using the same one? |

Oh yeah Iamme, another thing, I can't get the SMB Crossover version of Hayate with grappling chain to port in correctly over Julius. Relative size is wrong. When I try to resize in Paint.net, Sprite becomes blurry. Although I did manage to finished replacing Yoko with Maria, like XB suggested. I figure it would be better to replace Mina with Kaede, since she pairs well with Ryu, and Maria with Alucard. This way, we have a solid mix of characters from both Castlevania and Ninja Gaiden series. And this wouldn't be the first interaction between Ryu, Hayate, and Kaede.  But it will be their first time interacting with the Castlevania crew.  I know XB wants Trevor to replace Julius, which actually I am not having much luck with Julius spriting, as it is a mess in any program used. In the Concept test, I just repaletted your Ralph to match Trevor's colors, but I would like to see the one from PSX ported in, as it has been used in SNES Dracula X, and ported into GBA Harmony as well. Though I can't rip the one from Harmony of Dissonance, because DSvania does not support Japan region roms.  I would like to do 2 seperate sprite swaps: one with Trevor, and the other with Hayate. You seem to be way better at spriting with Julius. Any chance you can port in Hayate and PSX Trevor? Once the are already assembled, I wouldn't have any problem porting them into the latest Beta. In the meantime, I am still going to try to put Kaede in Mina's place, And see what I can do about mixing some enemies in from NG. |

When I open Ninja Gaiden Trilogy in YYCHR. There are no sprites anywhere. Just Title screen and options menu stuff. They are there in Jap version, this is the address for NGIII sprites: 00101C00 , set the pattern to FC/NES x16 and set the palette (PAL SET) as shown in the pic. As for sprite resize, well, that may not work like that, use photoshop or another advanced tool, limit the colors to 16, transparency enabled, then resize using "Nearest Neighbor" interpolation (that's the name in PS), that should work but the sprite will lose detail.  |

So, I tried experimenting with a few sprites I wanted to swap. They looked fine in paint.net, but didn't import into DSVania correctly. I think it is due to having different palettes. Usually DSV will import sprites to the closest possible, but this time it didn't work so well. Anyone else want to take a stab at porting them in? Evil ButcherGraham NPC ActorHammer |

Just a quick update. I ran into a couple of setbacks while working on the Ryu sprite. I had to go back and correct some of the animations as you see they were shaky in the last beta. I am still not finished, as the weapon swing animations do not work properly, and some colors got messed up and I have to go back and correct them. I have successfully swapped in Irene for Mina, instead of Kaede. I have begun work on the soundtrack. I do not have a new beta yet as I have some IRL things more pressing to deal with, and don't always have alot of PC time. Still working on it though. XB, post your story work here so we can keep it moving forward.  |

Introduction Update: I am Ryu Hayabusa and My Journey with problems ended with Clancy on that ship or so I thought I have gotten recent information that informed me that area 51 was recently attacked by an unknown terrorist organization who's motives were unclear but what was clear is that they have stolen the two demon statues from the united states government I was then asked to aid the government in getting the statues back at all cost as to where they are going I have a pretty good idea as to where they are going it's a dark and evil shine not far from my village I will stop them in the name of my father in light of this though I was sent word that my betrothed and another group are coming with to the shrine to stop these terrorists I am very weary of this because I am not sure that they can be trusted after all they could be the terrorists themselves but only time will tell if they can be trusted the only one who I can trust right now is Irene and others I know who are coming with me I hope I indeed return alive So I may propose to Irene I won't hide these feelings anymore. Lord give me strength to strike down my enemies alongside my comrades let my enemies deaths be as swift as my blade.

Great job XB! Just do some slight editing to make it more readable. OKAY everyone! I finally have a new beta. Every NPC event actor has been swapped! Sorry XB about using assassin for Graham's event actor, but the sprite fit better than Ashtar. Just work it into your story so that the assassin delivers messages for Ashtar and it should be fine. I will still try to swap Ashtar with Graham for the Boss Fight. I am also working on putting in some NG enemies to give the game more of a crossover feel. Do not assume this beta is the same as the last. It IS NOT. Going to work some more on the songs this week, I will not put them in until they are all finished, Because I have to add extra space for the songs, and it is easier to do that all at once. 3-10-20 Ryu Beta |

Hey star I don't want any weapons that swing downward. I want all the weapons to swing outward just like they do in Castlevania symphony of the night for alucard but I wanted to use ryu own short animation just like I am me made zengetsu use his animation instead of actually showing the actual weapon that's something you might want to talk with I am me about maybe he can help us out with that also I like how your Irene is different from the one in the Nintendo Ninja gaiden instead of her wearing blue she wears red and instead of being a brunette she's blond good job on that also good job on the assassin I think I can figure out something for him he could be Ashtar messenger also maybe we could somehow put him as a boss later in the game by the way did you see if we could fight alucard before we went to the chaos realm if we can that's great because there's not been many Castlevania games where you actually got to fight alucard that I know of Castlevania legends was the only one and you fought alucard near the end of the game. Also some of those animations you made for the weapons that swing downward are not really working that well because they go glitchy. Oh so did you get the CIA guy as hammer?

Also some of those animations you made for the weapons that swing downward are not really working that well because they go glitchy. Oh so did you get the CIA guy as hammer? Duly noted. No Greatswords. That is actually an easy enough fix. Though the hitbox for overhead swing will still cause damage to enemies above Ryu, but it will at least look like he is swinging sideways. I thought about maybe adding his enhanced sword swing power up animation for greatswords, but I'm not sure yet if I can get it to look right. That's the one with the extra air blade at the tip, kinda like the one in Strider. Changing who you fight at the location just before chaos shouldn't be too hard. It's just a matter of making a different enemy with Alucard sprites, like the dopplegangers in the Hugh hack, and then swapping entities to make that enemy the boss there. And yes, Hammer has been replaced with Robert. Though the only way I could make him fit was by super imposing Robert's head onto Hammer's body. lol. The Irene sprite from the sprite sheet was already red, but I did fix the hair to be blonde. By the way, in the sprite sheet, Robert is not green, he is like peach colored. Is that correct? Which color do you want Robert to be? |

Whatever color Robert is in Ninja gaiden would be fine that will make more sense for our game plus I got something I want to run by you could we put in pyramid head's machete as a weapon in my hack as a reference the silent Hill 2 and all the others silent hills that have pyramid Head in them.

Introduction Update and finalized hopefully: I am Ryu Hayabusa and My Journey with problems ended with Clancy on that ship or so I thought I have gotten recent information that informed me that area 51 was recently attacked by an unknown terrorist organization who's motives were unclear. But in light of this what was clear is that they have stolen the two demon statues from the united states government. I was then asked to aid the government in getting the statues back at all cost as to where they are going I have a pretty good idea as to where they are going it's a dark and evil shine not far from my village. I will stop them in the name of my father in light of this though I was sent word that my betrothed and another group are coming with to the shrine to stop these terrorists. I am very weary of this because I am not sure that they can be trusted after all they could be the terrorists themselves but only time will tell if they can be trusted the only one who I can trust right now is Irene and others I know who are coming with me I hope I indeed return alive. So I may propose to Irene I won't hide these feelings anymore. Lord give me strength to strike down my enemies alongside my comrades let my enemies deaths be as swift as my blade.
