Chrono Trigger Compressed Graphics

[justin3009]

As we all know, there has been locations of some of the map locations data.  i was wondering, are there any other updates on this? ~_Last Modified 7/20/03_~  is the latest one I have.

Has there been any location data on the domes from 2300 AD?  The Tiles inside the domes not the overworld ones.  Like for example...Arris Dome's tiles?  It would be nice if someone had these.

Compressed tileset graphics packets used in Arris Dome:

In the "Noob Editing Questions" topic below, you can find the directions to use the debugger to easily find what compressed packets are being loaded for any location:

Ok. I replaced some of the treetop graphics in Guardia Forest. The problem I have is that I can't figure out what the palette to the forest is. If someone could help me figure out what the location map palettes are I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a million.

Do you use SNESPal?

[Zakyrus]

Do you use SNESPal?

Yes.

[Vehek]

I think it [1000 A.D. Guardia Forest]'s at 362736.

Here's a formula for getting the offsets of other location palette sets:
Location palette set number*D2+3624C0=

[Zakyrus]

Thanks. I'll try that out.

[Zakyrus]

...wait. So if I use Guardia Forest location palette of 42,
42*D2+3624C0= 365AE4 ( which is all brown, theres no green)

[Vehek]

There's green in there.  I see a green at 365B10, for example.
I think you may be assuming the location palette set is smaller than it actually is.

[Zakyrus]

Ok. So how big is the pallete set? Thanks again!

[Zakyrus]

Finally went back and did this. I feel completely retarded that I couldn't figure it out before. Thanks everyone.

60      367362      ???

...and so on.


For instance, I'll change the "clear water" for Loc. Pallet #11 into "lava"

The first three values of the pallet's set are the water/sand colors. These are the values you would enter for the specified memory address under SNESPal.

Change:
3632B2 = 15,1,0
3632B4 = 12,1,0
3632B6 = 8,0,0

(just remember that this will change the sand in the Sinking Desert into Lava!)

..that's all there is to it!


Thanks to Vehek and JLukas for helping my feeble brain understand this!
