Help changing a few things

hey I'd like to chime in a bit in regards to weapon editing

there is a lot you can do with it but at the same time there is a lot you cannot do, the perfect way to look at it is like alchemy, its all about equivalent exchange (I suppose more full metal alchemist than anything else lmfao)

you can literally edit anything, some things however are way too much of a cluster f**k to even bother, some things require a lot more work than you would like, and others aren't so bad at all

one thing you need to know is that the graphics are jumbled up, and you will be editing them in sections (or pieces), some graphics share tiles, while others reuse and recycle tiles

an example of each is this

one piece of the rising sun graphic is reused and basically recycled for the weapon itself, you can't really edit it via normal methods (if at all depending on what you want) as for graphics that share tiles, an example of that is that one piece of the hardend sprite (one of shadow's weapons) uses a part of the falchion blade or thunder blade I'm not 100% sure (its been a long time since I've done weapons), and one more thing is that one piece of one graphic is so far off its literally a mission just to find those few pixels

another tip is like worrying about consistency with the palettes, that can be tough but for the most part they are consistent with the weapon palettes

I can be here all day explaining stuff since there is a lot to take in, don't let that discourage you though
