Link to the Past level pack

Hey if I could dig it up and upload it, would anyone be interested in the Link to the past overworld pack I generated a while back?

Not bad. Ill check them out when I get homr.

I had a type 1 and layered version I was working on, but lack graphical talent so I stopped at the lost woods. Lol, this will help though..

Mine was generated from screenshots :P It wasn't a manual effort!

I think I asked you about this a while back, but you don't have the stuff to do that anymore do you?

Nope :P Sorry.


If you want a quick rundown on how you can start to build something like I had...

Get a large screenshot of what you want to build(level size).

Using:
http://bobpowell.net/lockingbits.aspx
Scan the tiles in the tileset once and then match them up with tiles in the level.

That link has some interesting information. Thanks for posting, I'll definitely take a look at this.

Attached is a GMAP file for this level set. (rename it to .gmap to use with gonstruct -- the program I tested it with).

For some reason, Jacob, the first 3-4 levels on the north-eastern side do not work (a1 - d1?), they do not draw anything for me with the given tileset. And what is drawn, it looks like the wrong images are in those locations.

Also, the ZIP file included is missing the level: a4

Thanks again.

Been reading through the article you posted on analysing image data and I've spent some time creating an application that can generate a Graal level based on a full-sized level screenshot. I've still not come up with a solution to deal with images covering tiles, light effects and level with layers however, but it's working perfectly for level images that show only tiles.

Here's an image. I've managed to generate the level on the right by taking the level image on the left and analysing it's pixel data, comparing the data with the pixel data for pics1.png. The comparison are made on a tile-by-tile basis, so every 256 pixels (or 1 tile) a comparison is made.

I'll post a build when I've figured out exactly how I'm going to deal with **** like light effects and layers.

The big question-- how long does it take? And I don't think there will be a good solution for dealing with lights or npcs in screenshots.

Seems I lost level a4 somewhere and the a1-d1 are mountain levels... they would've used a different tileset which I must not have bothered to upload at the time!

It actually takes a tremendous amount of time, but I wasn't expecting anything else. Regarding dealing with tile obscurities though, it has been suggested that I use an algorithm to check for similarities between tiles instead of directly comparing pixel data. Obviously, it's not fool proof and I doubt I'm capable of coming up with something that is, but it's a step in the right direction
