Title: [Environmental/Misc][Large][Easy] Vanilla
Post by: Pumpkinbot on August 22, 2013, 06:13:46

Vanilla is a project I've been working on and off (mostly off) for about a year. It shows off every tileset that comes packaged with the game. You can either stroll through each screen one after another, or head to the warp room to go straight to a tileset to see how it looks in an actual level.

I've crawled through the screens multiple times, but if I did miss a wallswim or something, please say so!

I also didn't include music because it's supposed to be more of a reference. Pop your own music on, it's better than what I could make, and you probably haven't heard it as many times as you have the default songs. ;)

Update to version 2!

This is a really great reference level and I'm so glad you completed it. I tried to do something like this and gave up within about ten rooms. It amazes me how many great tilesets have been largely neglected in all the custom levels I've played... hopefully people playing this will be inspired to finally give some of these tilesets their moment in the limelight!

Spoiler: Bugs I encountered: (click to show/hide)

Between x1030y998 and x1031y998 there is a 1 tile height difference, leading to a wallswim.

Between x1009y1016 and x1010y1016 there is a several tile height difference, leading to a wallswim.

x1011y1007 - You can die in this room! Whyyyyyy?

x1031y1008 - You can also die in this room... it just ain't right...

x1021y1009 - I believe the credits are reversed for this room; Paula should be the remixer.

x1029y1002 - The text made with the tileset says 'nintey' instead of 'ninety'

Thank you! And yeah, I noticed how good that Souleye's Secret Emulation Tileset or whatever was (the blue and green line tileset) against a black background. And the two color tilesets near the end.

Spoiler: Bugs I fixed: (click to show/hide)

x1031y998 Wallswim: Fixed! (On my version. I'll upload it once I find more bugs. I'll add a "Known Bugs" spoiler on the first post.)

x1010y1016 Wallswim: Fixed! How did I miss that? >.<

x1011y1007 Death: Well, there's a number of rooms the player can die in, but I suppose on retrospect, since I used the tileset's static water, people wouldn't generally think it's deadly. I'll change that.

x1031y1008 Death: They're lasers. What do you think they'll do? :P That, and it's pretty easy to avoid them. You can even just walk off the ledge and you won't die. But, if enough people do complain, I'll change it. I was just trying to keep it faithful to the original. :v

x1021y1009 Typo: Fixed!

x1029y1002 Typo: Fixed!

Great work Pumpkinbot. It does get boring after awhile, but that's not your fault. Many of these I've never even considered what they'd look like in use, and you made them look so useful. I think I gave you a star in the other thread, but I'm giving you one here anyway. I'm sure it was torturous to make at times. *gives star*

I never noticed that a cave drawing in tileset 233 was a creature appearing in Saria. How cool?

;) I've seen your post in KG's Define thread. I kinda got the message, heh.

Aww, thanks! And yeah, running through 255 completely linear screens can become a bit boring, I suppose. That's why I added that warp room, so people can be all "Oh, I wonder what tileset 784 looks like?" and go to it. I also didn't notice that was the thing as well until you pointed it out! And I'll take it as a compliment that it's boring, yet I still get a star. ;)

I'll add those bugs to the OP and fix 'em in my version!

I played whole level and I liked it. But how does tileset 784 look ? I did not find it here.
I didn't find any bugs expect the ones mentioned before.

I believe it looks something like this (http://s3-ec.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/webdr03/2013/5/10/1/anigif_enhanced-buzz-23626-1368165247-11.gif).

This level made me realize just how much I didn't understand and was limited by my own narrow thinking when using a lot of the default tilesets. It's both humbling and enlightening at the same time, like a wiser person solving a puzzle for you.

Oh, my! Well, thank you! That's probably the biggest praise I've ever gotten, heh...It's humbling to hear that something I've done is humbling. ;)

Alright, gonna bump this to say that I've added the updated version to the OP! All those bugs? Gone. Enjoy!

Thanks for making this. It got me inspired to use some "unconventional" tilesets in a future potential level. Kudos!  :^^:

Aw, thanks! :3 Making this actually did kind of make me realize that there's some really good default tilesets that just...don't get used. *shrug*

I was going to say something about that too. It's just so sad that they never get to be in a KS level, because tilesets like #6 get all the attention. But yeah, it's easy to overlook the good ones, with Nifflas' obsession of putting things in his scanner and all that.
