What is the highest resolution that ZC can use for graphics? I would love to use a program like ZC with some of the old Ultima Online sprites, but they have a much higher rez than old zelda. Thanks!

I believe that the standard now is 16-bit? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

However, how much bigger we talking?

In ZC as of now, you're free to use up to 192 of your colors per tile.

The maximum size of an object that can appear on a single screen is 256 x 168 pixels (Due to how the player chops off the bottom 8 pixels).

It's important, though, that those pixels still exist, as they are in view when transitioning to a screen to the south.

Yeah, but I was more talking about for custom bosses or something, as I can't imagine why anything other than a custom boss would be that big, unless you decided to hand-draw every screen and scan it...
