I like the idea. Have you tried to add more sprite and use the ones you added past the limit on PC/NPC ? I though there was more things to change such as harcoded offsets in the different banks because in this case moving all the data and expanding it is a better option than having sprites in two places in the ROM. Having the sprite data separated would require a lot of change in the ASM code.

But you're right in a way: When I expanded the monster data it wasn't that difficult to do but a relocalization is require to keep things simple.

That would be a nice project. The problem is, from what I've seen on the site, all the team projects here eventually died before seeing the light of the day. The thing I hate the most is participating in something that will not be finished. If it's your own project it's ok, but if it involves others you need to finish what you begin.

Another thing is that I've have always been for optimization (as much as possible) and full documentation in events and ASM coding, a way to proceed that not everyone shares. It's a longer process but it makes the debugging and understanding of work of others easier. If I ever join such a project, we need to have general guidelines regarding this. And a good pre-production (planning) on many levels would also be a good thing, not just deciding to change everything as we go.

I really like the idea though and I would join as long as what I mentionned is relatively accepted by everyone. It could be a way to involve many people on the site like you say and most likely increase team spirit and cooperation. I'm willing to participate in creating events, data relocalization and other ASM task. I can also do music. Some spriters could do tilesets, I'm sure if they can draw nice sprites they can do tilesets also. Other editor stuff can be done by everyone so there's no rush for that.

We're only talking here but it's my general idea on the subject Tongue
