TheRaj Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Hey all. Im working on my yearly TFO Rom and last season I started to give away the prize of placing text on the Tecmo Blimp that appears at halftime. So since I have my notes and couldn't find this on the boards I wanted to post it for others... and so I won't lose it next season when I do this all again So I like to think of the Tecmo Blimp as having 2 Lines of 10 "Spots". These spots are filled in with 8x8 pixel images. There are 16 available characters to use in these spots (not counting spaces). You would need to go in and EDIT these with your own images/letters/characters to appear on the blimp and one could have MORE spots by doing some edits on their own but I stick with the 16 as I haven't had an issue with it. I know there is more "real estate" on the blimp that could be used but since it shares a pallet with the background clouds I just stick with the two 10 character lines. CHARACTER GRAPHIC SPOTS (17 total counting Space/Blank) 03 = Space/Blank (DO NOT OVERWRITE) 0B = Left Part of Helmet Icon 0F = Right Part of Helmet Icon 1D = E (blue) 37 = C (blue) 39 = T (blue) 3D = M (blue) 3E = O (blue) 3F = S (pink) 41 = U (pink) 42 = P (pink) 43 = E (pink) 44 = R (pink) 45 = B (pink) 46 = O (pink) 47 = W (pink) 48 = L (pink) SPOTS AVAILABLE ON THE BLIMP (2 Lines of 10) 1ST: LINE: 0x1446c 0x1446d 0x1447b 0x1447c 0x1447d 0x1447e 0x1448c 0x1448d 0x1448e 0x1448f 2ND LINE: 0x14470 0x14471 0x1447f 0x14480 0x14481 0x14482 0x14490 0x14491 0x14492 0x14493 PALLET LOCATION (3 colors) BLUE: 0x1a02d PINK: 0x1a02e WHITE: 0x1a02f (DO NOT CHANGE) [Recommended not to mess with the white as the rest of the blimp's white spots share the same pallet as the clouds in the background] Attached is TFO 2016's Blimp Have fun!!!! segathonsov, bruddog, Tunnelrunner and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty easy to scroll in a tile editor and find. TheRaj and Donnie Dohnson 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Dohnson Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Can it be made to ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRaj Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Scrolling would require programming. I assume it could be done, but I dont think it would be easy. Changing the letters on the blimp is alot easier Donnie Dohnson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRaj Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Oh I noticed I didnt post the Blimp for TFO 2021. Here it is in all its glory! Josh Porter is from The Office. I was asked if I could put his face on the blimp so I changed the pallet to have black and light flesh colors and used 4 of the character spaces to make the face using MSPaint and TileLayer Pro. It used all 14 available spaces when completed Donnie Dohnson, Knobbe and kamphuna8 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
