Battle Background

Glad I could help. I've got to say, having an application to test your ideas out in makes the whole process of figuring things out a whole lot easier since the game environment crashes so easy when you start changing things.

Also, it's updated to include the ripple effect, which really brings the backgrounds to life (especially the underwater BG).

Good job!
Just a question: before it was possible to see also palette swaps for battle backgrounds... in the updated version it's not anymore possible.
Is it possible to put that feature in the program again?

Sure, I can drop that in later tonight.

Updated with palette shifting. There's a catch though, since the game loads palettes in succession you can't completely pick with palettes you use, only which 3 palette set, so you're somewhat limited without some further hacking. Still you should be able to do some cool things with certain backgrounds (night dessert) and such.

Excellent: while it took me a whole day to examine opera stage BG in all his 128 different palettes to pick the best combinations for my latest task, with this program is very fast to do... i might even consider to swap palettes for my CotG hack!

Glad it helped, let me know if the swap works in the actual game.

Unfortunately you'll have to wait some time, since i can restart with my project only at the end of July... since i have to deal with the exams...
