Hello good people.
I have created my own fan translation of Chrono Trigger based on Ted Woolsley's original and CC's retranslation project. Everything minus one detail has been completed.
Out of personal preference and my own personal reasoning, I've decided I want to change Crono's element icon to 'Heaven'. I even have the icon completed as you can see:
However, inserting it into the game has proven most difficult. Using Tile Molester (and having tried a number of other tile editing programs), upon finding the associated tile in the rom, I am met with this (click thumbnail):
As you can see, there are 2 rows of miscolored tiles above the lightning icon. These actually make up the middle portion of the icon which you can see is also miscolored. This middle portion is actually the bottom 2 rows of the icon. I am certain that some of the tiles above the icon play a part in how it is rendered too as they are somewhat different in CC's version with 'Sky' than they are pictured.
I've made certain the colors of my icon are correct in line with that palette. Upon importing into the game and then saving it, I am obviously met with an icon that is messed up in how it is rendered. I've altered my icon so it looks more like what you see in Tile Molester. The result? The bottom portion renders correctly since it is no different than the bottom portion of lightning. The middle portion is obviously another matter.
I have spent weeks trying to figure out how to get this to work. I've gotten nowhere. Can someone please, PLEASE help me out here and explain to me what it is I need to do or am doing wrong? I will make certain to include your name in the credits when all is said and done as meager an incentive that may be. But, whatever help I get will be appreciated. I've had this completed for weeks and haven't released it yet because of this one issue.
Thank you!
