Smb3 Skin In The Works!

[Rayek]

This is just a little self-promotion on my part.

In my sig is a link to view the project's current status.

Question: i'm currently stripped for icon ideas... For Ebook i was going to use a modified princess peach letter, and for music i was going to use the music box... but for video and picture, i have no idea. i can fudge a settings icon, but otherwise i need some ideas.

not to "dis" your work, which is excellent and i could never do- but you should get zsnes and he smb rom and grab a screen cap. it would look so much more orginal.

also, you could grab stuff from the screen caps for icons, ex would be yoshi's head or a mushroom, or a berry- you got the idea.

Well i think it looks just like Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES, which is considered to be the best version of Mario, so i say it's just fine.

Good idea for the icons tho.

ZSNES is an SNES emu, doesn't play SMB3. and that's precisely what i'm doing, with FECU, an NES emulator, so if it doesn't look original... well, i don't know what would. lol.

i'm also looking for using complete images, not just yoshi's head, or making my own little digital pictures of cameras that 'look like they could be in SMB3'.. that would just suck... so... I was going to use the 1up mushroom for programs and the regular mario powerup mushroom for the games icon instead of a volleyball, or whatever that is...

 

[wyefye]

Ahh! your right, it does look like the nes version. i didnt much care for it. well, second thought, it was good for those "retro" days.

I was thinking more snes version. eh.

good luck,

i was actually thinking, when i'm done with this one, that is, using the mario all stars one, like you suggested, but i figured, old-skool comes before new-skool, so i'll complete this one and possibly work on the all stars version.

is there a program that places the images for the icons right where they're supposed to go on the background, or do i have to fudge it?

i checked it out... i'm already just replacing the original .png s, but i want to know where, exactly the icons will be placed, so i can plan the background to match up somewhat with the icons, so stuff isn't always floating there unless it's supposed to.

imgtestmode folder has some placement things i think.. but just run 2xskin and it shows you how its real neat!

where do you get 2xskin? i remember hearing about it, but did a search of the board and couldn't find a thread but this one that mentions it...

a hotlink would be cool.

thats it there. make sure u extract to same directory as the skins u got

When u have it loaded u can use arrow keys/enter to move around and see how ur skins look its real neat.

thanks, i should've/could've seen it before.

thanks for all your help!

any ideas or suggestions for a video icon? Photo icon? Explorer icon? i'm drawing a blank. all in the main menu, of course.

i've added a few more icons, check them out in the sig

Kool. Hmm.. Video icon I suggest that lil guy with the camera off mario kart. (oh wait.. too bad thou hes from mario kart would be perfect for it )

Other than that i cant really think going to sleep now maybe theres some lurking around eh?

 

[Rayek]

here's a preview of the main page.. that's all i have done as of yet... i'm gong to sleep now it's 3:30 where i am.

still have afew things to fix, the location of the flying koopa at the top, and add a black line over mario's head that i forgot, but other than that, it seems fine.

if anyone has any better ideas for icons, i'd love to hear them!

 

[wyefye]

Awesome. when i get my gp2x i will definately try this out.

Nice work man.

 

[Natrius]

Very nice!

SMB 3 is a truly awesome game!
Keep it up!
