Slight updates to the space pirate ship tile set. Replaced the background vent with foreground airducts (on the left with the darker fx1) and added a "joint" piece for those airvents (on the right with the "cleaner", yet ill-colored grey, so it could be seen better):

Originally, I came up with the palette when the room I was in was using a dark room FX1 . . . As a result, neither the darker FX1 used on the left -and- the "none" FX1 on the right are exactly as originally intended. Oh well. Think I know how I'm going to alter that anyway...

This is old stuff if you've seen the teaser video I posted a few months ago, but a few people still don't know that spiderball exists. That said:

Would there be a way to reverse the spin animation when it's needed? Sometimes it doesn't look right.

Edit: Then again, I'm not sure if it's the frame rate of the video making it look like that. Like wagon wheels in old movies. :-p

Nah, I think it actually is spinning backwards when its on the ceiling. Since morphball was never meant to be on the ceiling, it uses the animation of it rolling in that direction on the floor...if that makes any sense. laugh new

It would be cool if you could give it a different palette while its in spiderball mode, like in Metroid II.

Rotation is reversed, because when it's on the ceiling, it's actually falling. Mentioned that in the video's comments on youtube (but of course you can't see those here). Anyway, yes, I plan on fixing it.

As for making it a different color... No. Spiderball is only a side-effect of this codings real purpose, for which the palette needs to be the same.

I have reasons for not wanting the following video on YouTube just yet, so it's linked through ZD right now instead. Ignore the graphics, as they aren't the ones that'll actually be used (I used some Breath of Fire graphics to get a general idea of structures I wanted).

In any case, this is exactly what it looks like and is not a fake. Click on the picture to see the video:

Thanks go to Insom for most of the sprites and Kejardon for a small code to make Samus invisible.

What you see in the video isn't samus, but rather an enemy I coded to take her place in very specific rooms.

That is so awesome, are powerbombs usable (yet) in that mode? Kinda reminds me of Marble Madness.

Yes and no. Powerbombs and regular bombs can be used, except there are no bomb blocks used in that mode yet (regular bomb block graphic going away would not look so fitting here). Planning on making a special block that acts like solid normally, until bombed, and then acts like air (even though graphically it hasn't changed)... That would be the bomb-block-in-the-sidewall trick in the vid (though in the vid I had to pretend it was there).

Actually have plans for a crumble block of a sort... it crumbles away beneath you and (if you don't move fast enough) you could drop to the layer below. Lots of plans for things like this, though I'm keeping it fairly basic in Singularity.

It looks really...blue. Even though its so blue, it looks good, like it's night time on Zebes.

Ummm.... Hell no. What I have done (instead) is worked on the graphic framework (ideas at this point of what I want to add) and added a shadow.

Too many days without anything in this thread, so...

That change is caused by changing ONE BYTE. No turbo was used.

So you just chose a random location in the ROM, changed a random byte and this happened? Wow...

*By the way,i posted this comment on YouTube too*

Never said it was a "random" byte. I was screwing around with the data specifically dealing with the escape of samus's ship.

Funsies. If I can hazard a guess... VRAM graphic address for the mode 7 layer?
