Okay.
My computer randomly rebooting itself earlier today has led to
me losing progress on the sprites for Jillian's casual attire.
That's progress.
(In infuriating me. :p )
Meantime, I'm having second thoughts about this, but then I end
up with third thoughts and next thing I know, I've wound up
having thirteenth thoughts...
... I think the Map System should be orange.
Like. Orange in colour, not lemon. :p
The physics hack works nicely. About as well as expected.
The starting cutscene takes a FEW cues from Umbrageous Light,
but it's got its own dialogue instead.
Jillian's text box is pink. Night Queen's, purple.
Not sure how to depict the StageImage icons... I plan on having
the Teleporter used here, so far.
Think I'll poke the bunny.
* gets nibbled on *
... Dammit. -_-"

In that case, please back up your mod progress if you haven't
done so already. I've been wondering, how do you give each
character their own coloured text box?

Sorry, clarification time:
The name boxes are coloured (and are shown with the TIMG hack).
Wasn't easy getting the coordinates for the images right, but I
did it somehow.
Also, regarding the Asterism of Solace area: I found info I
forgot about.
The place resembles maps from other areas, like LS(Z)'s Entrance
TG, but with a Grie'dyr Star tileset and new names/layouts.
Don't know if that'll help with the naming, but it's something,
right? :)
As for the back-up... I have to find the CDs first. How the
Niflheim I misplaced them is anyone's guess... :-/

Twin-post because I've finished the basic layout for the area
map images.
The maps themselves aren't done yet; I'll do that as I finish
the in-game maps, haha.
Wish I could add two more Sectors to the mod. But I'm sure that
121 maps are more than enough, haha.
"What would these hypothetical Sectors be?"
Both would be completely original. The first would be named
"Cibryll's Space", the second, "Scarlet Heights".
But I just put those ideas 'n' stuff in a text file, haha.
I should probably work on Jillian's casualwear, but I wanna play
games and music... ;-;

The TIMG Hack? I've heard of TSC+ but that's about it. That
said, if all the areas in Asterism of Solace are areas from
other mods with new names/layouts, then that's something at
least. For the Entrance TG area, Moonbase 52 as a placeholder
name. Or Cynthia's Lament or Selene Stronghold? Or Moonly Rocks?
I'll figure it out once I know about the other rooms.
...
..
Cibryll's Space. Is that a devroom or something else?

Yeah, TIMG and PHYS are add-ons for TSC+, IIRC.
Thanks. :3
So that's 1 down, 11 to go.
... I know, why don't you pick three rooms from LS' castle
(except Myst Zone or Entrance maps; no duplicate areas) and
three rooms from one of my other past mods?
Just lemme know which rooms, and their AoS counterparts' names.
Example,
[list][li]Entrance TG (Lunar Shadow): Moonbase 52 (placeholder),
Cynthia's Lament, Selene Stronghold, Moonly Rocks[/li][/list]
(Using your names for the Entrance TG map for the example.)
Cibryll's Space... maybe it's a dev area, maybe not. :3
Maybe there's something cool at the CS: Terminus, maybe not. :3
Perhaps a boss, or not. :3

To be honest, I really wanna have a few rooms of the Asterism of
Solace based on areas from Solar Shadow 2, if
[member=8]AuroraDash[/member] is okay with it.
I still haven't gotten around to downloading it. Really should
change that. I got R29 airtime for my smartphone today, so...
Or is that cHAnGE? :p

[list]
[li]Laboratory R (Lunar Shadow) : Meteor Hallway (While I wasn't
too fond of Sycor's trap itself, I do think the room itself has
potential to use it as it's main gimmick)[/li]
[li]Servant Quarters S (Lunar Shadow): Rings of Jupiter (Though
I understand that the entire room is just a lead up to Valkyrie
X, it could use poison gas and falling rocks as a gimmick. Also
a reference or two to Shadow of the Stars wouldn't go amiss.
Also it's planetary symbol: ♃[/li]
[li]Tower D (Lunar Shadow): Waters of Mars (I like the unique
tileset and enemies. Also water stage and I think maybe a
section that uses Tower D's bone tileset? Also planetary symbol:
♂)[/li]
[li]Lumen Cavern (Obscuro Lumen Venenum Aeris): Uranus Cavern (I
would've picked Chaos Angel but I haven't played that level so I
picked the one I was familiar with.[/li]

I'm sure he'd let you but even then I think you're better off
playing the game yourself to get a better idea of which rooms
you really want. And if it makes you feel any better, I still
haven't gotten around to playing Solar Shadow 2 either. Solar
Shadow is actually very short so you could easily play it if you
wanted to.

If I can download it, haha. :p
Mahalo~. I can't see the planetary symbols, but I'll check
Character Map in case those are there.
I'll just have to resist referring to "Uranus" as "Ouranos" as I
usually do, though. :p
Right.
Three other areas I picked are:
[list][li]Origin Cave: Cursed Gateway (Umbrageous Light)
Doesn't show up in Terminus, so perfect choice for me. :p
It's horizontal, BUT exits are top-right and bottom-left.
[/li][li]Flesh Zone: Gate (Ecliptic Umbrae)
A small area connecting left to right.[/li][li]Cursed Warehouse
T (Lunar Shadow ZER0)
I... think that it was a boss room, with only one exit (to the
right), but it was small (21x16).[/li][/list]
So that leaves five maps undecided, and eight unnamed maps (the
above three included with the undecided five).
Lunar Shadow R-2 would use the Tower D tileset for one of its
own areas, which would be key in manipulating the Gate of Time
area, incidentally... I should probably do that next, or
something? :r

Confirmation that my last two areas for the Asterism of Solace
will be:[list][li]Christmas Town (Into the Unknown) (left /
right exits)[/li][li]Cirno Town (Vion Ierra) (right
exit)[/li][/list]
I've decided the remaining three maps should be used as original
rooms, but based on areas that haven't been seen in any mod
(yet).
This way, all the maps for the Asterism of Solace should be able
to connect, but I'll know for sure when I'm done making a basic
layout.
I think Rings of Jupiter will be the first map of the Asterism
of Solace, so going to the top-right exit goes to Sector 0 (The
Hub).
Of course, the entire Sector 7 uses the tiles from Griedyr Star,
so I'll see if I can bring in the gimmick puppet of strings--
* gets marionetted *

Okay, I just found out I f**ked up a bit. -_-
So here's the area layout, currently:
[tt]
01 07
/ /
10-02-04-05-06-11-12
/ | |
03 09 08
|
v
01
[/tt]
Er... my phone doesn't do monospace. -_-
01: Rings of Uranus ~ top-right (Hub), lower-left (02)
02: original ~ left (10), lower-left (03), lower-right (09),
right (04), top-right (01)
03: (Cursed Warehouse T) ~ right (02)
04: (Flesh Zone: Gate) ~ left (02), right (05)
05: Meteor Hallway ~ left (04), right (06)
06: original ~ left (05), top-right (07), lower-right (08),
right (11)
07: Cynthia's Lament ~ lower-left (06)
08: Waters of Mars ~ top-left (06)
09: (Origin Cave: Cursed Gateway) ~ up (02), down (01; one-way)
10: (Cirno Town) ~ right (02)
11: (Christmas Town) ~ left (06), right (12)
12: Uranus Cavern ~ left (11)
I hope this makes the layout a bit clearer, else I'll have to
make some bizarre pic, haha. :p
