I haven't heard anything about this lately but is Hero scaling being worked on at all? It'd be nice to be able to use HD sprites and tiles eventually. I know you can technically use HD assets but the hit box is all wrong for everything. Should I put together a 32x resource pack to help gather interest?

[Currently working on:]

I decided to merge my old tile and sprite rip topics into one post. Everything will be redone from scratch in the future but for now I want everything in one place.
Any questions or suggestions feel free to ask!

File names and looping points are taken directly from the roms/images. Volume for music has been reduced to match the alttp-pack levels. (-3dB) also bitrate is 320 kb/s
Any suggestions, errors or other problems let me know and I'll address it ASAP.
Inside each music zip is a text file for easy adding to your project_db.dat if desired.

Not sure if this has been asked for in the past but the engine needs to have more options for animated bg tiles. From looking at the files of Zelda games the animations vary quite a bit. Some games have 3 frames others have 4 and one even has 8 frames! The delay on these are also different depending on the game. I've used sprites in the past to get around this but the engine doesn't load the sprite animation unless it's in view which is not always in sync with the rest of the sprites. It's pretty weird. Anyways I think this would be a nice feature to expand on.

Something I've been wondering for awhile. Does Solarus recognize decimal points in frame delay? For example 16.67ms which is one frame in 60fps. The animation editor does not allow such a number but it can be put into the dat file manually. Does it actually work in-game or is it rounded down to 16? Thanks so much.

I think it would be great if OGG files could loop after playing the intro of a song using the same method as RPG Maker in which metadata tags are used to mark PCM sample points for beginning and ending of loops. Here's an explanation on how this works when creating OGG files for RPG Maker. http://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?/topic/10987-make-looping-bgm-part-1-ogg-vorbis/
ZDoom also has this feature which is documented here with their source code. http://zdoom.org/Changelog/2424/files

Here's a loopable OGG with proper metadata tags. The engine would need to know how to read the metadata and start the loop at the correct PCM sample point when it hits the loop end tag.
BGM_DUNGEON_CASTLE.ogg

"LOOP_START" & "LOOP_END" would be the preferred tag names for this feature as seen in the attached image.
