At the bottom. Anywhere else and it wouldnt seem right.
If its on the ship when its still afloat and you miss the eel. If its in the cave you miss the Eel. If your on the Eel... well you never could in game and it doesnt seem like an ideal stage for you to fight on a moving thing.
ok dont worry they are really easy to use. You cant import them, but you can import brres files that contain them. I went and downloaded Mewtwo2000's what is love stage and figured out pretty quickly what vis files do and stuff.
Basically they just tell the stage when things should appear and disappear. If you set an object in the vis file to appear for 10 frames, then it will only show up for 10 frames. It can still move around and stuff because of the character animation, but you just cant see it unless you wish for it to be seen using the vis files.
Instead of having to do your old technique where you shrink things down to 0 you can just use these. And trust me, these are a way better way of doing it. It takes so much less time. I know your shrinking the fairys at a slow rate because thats what they are supposed to do, but even when they are fully shrunken they still take up data space and you need to use a vis to fully make them go away.
This is really important because the game cant handle 40ish things or more being shown at all times, especially things that are moving. You will have to export all of your fairy things and then re import them into the new brres file. Its a real pain but it pays off in the end.
For future stages replace all of your brres files with ones that have vis files in them. Just in case.
Im happy to guide you through this if you wish. Just pm me.
The eel... Interesting... Weren't there some instances of the eel in some Mario Kart wii stage?
They could be used in stages...
you could easily take the ship from that castlevenia level and use that. I picture the stage being at the bottom of the deep end where the sunken ship is. go inside that ship,or in some cases that star. The Eel could come out every now and then as well.
