I always wondered why he was ever included in the first place. I mean, he's kinda comic relief but...really insignificant.

[Celice]

There may have been more to him initially, considering there's another unused bandit theme, if memory serves, in the game. Comical bandits also became a thing for Fire Emblem too :p



(26x23 - this tileset has absolutely no diagonal mountain lines D:)

Oh oh Celice, do you have FE5 tileset(s)? I was planning on ripping those for my FEXP updates at some point but if you have them I'd kill to get a copy.

[Celice]

Check the romhacking section, there's a pinned thread there where I posted the collection of them. I can get the FE4 tilesets for you too if you want, and the FE3 are easy to nab as well.

[Klok]

Ohhhh god yes, all tilesets possible if you would. I googled for hours trying to find a decent ripped set and I couldn't.

[Lassie]

This doesn't happen very often, but I love that map, Celice.

man Im starting to sound creepy

[Klok]

I always loved the SNES tilesets, FE5 in particular. If possible, using them for FEPS would make me soooooooo happy. :D

this kind of gives away who I'm voting for, anyway

hello paths how are you

[Kitty of Time]

Celice, small issue about your entry, it doesn't really make sense to compare SNES-style tilesets and GBA-style tilesets in the same competition, so I'm going to have to not allow that entry.

[Celice]

There weren't any restrictions on what tileset to use. If you're going to restrict a map on that basis, you must include it in the rules you set forth. And you should especially make it clear, as "custom tilesets" easily extend into any territory beyond the tilesets given. If you want us to only abide by specific limitations, state them clearly and powerfully. After all, it's hard to disqualify something without an established precedent first, nor would it make sense to do so.

Further, two peeps like the map, so while you're welcome to your interpretations, it wouldn't be a bad idea to hear what the voters want to see. It is, after all, a competition found in the basis of a member's vote, and if they vote for all Fire Emblem tilesets to be allowed, then, why not.

The competition wasn't supposed to be about comparing tilesets, as you've said for some reason above. It's about the quality of the map, n'est-ce pas?

^ that

[deranger]

But what if you costumed a tile set to look exactly like the SNES one...

[· j e a l o u s y ·]

@deranger - How is that any different than using a tileset directly from SNES? The tile sizes are the same, so the point would be utterly moot. :E

I'd have to agree with KoT. It's a nice map and all, but it's not GBAFE and thus holds an unfair advantage/disadvantage against the other entries. Although it's not specifically stated that GBAFE tilesets must be used, the only tilesets provided in the OP are for GBAFE. IMO, Celice should have first checked the validity of SNESFE tiles with the contest runner before simply posting it, instead of intentionally causing a ruckus with a loophole.

The tilesets weren't readily available to others. I made them available just a few days ago. It's not so much that the GBA tilesets were the only things intended, as much as they were most likely the only resource known to be available, and thus linked to.

[Celice]

Tileset: Any (Customs are allowed)

It's not what your requirements state(!)

[Kitty of Time]

does your silly rebellion mean you don't want to submit a different entry and you're just going to whine expecting me to change my mind?

[deranger]

That was my (and most likely Celice's) point.

Tileset: Any (Customs are allowed)

Allowing Custom Tile Sets implies that different is good, as much as previous contests imply the norm is GBA.

I don't see the issue. I reeeeeally don't see the issue here. It is stated that custom tilesets are allowed, with nothing stating they have to look like a GBA tileset. (Obviously without a restriction set on it, then what makes other heavily customed tilesets legit but not a SNES tileset?)

I think it should be allowed. And then, be sure and add them into the next competition.
