Title: Undocumented MUGEN features - zoom SCTRL in 1.1b
Post by: Jesuszilla on August 28, 2014, 12:09:46 am
List any undocumented features one may find in 1.0 0r 1.1 in this thread

Apparently there is an undocumented Zoom SCTRL in 1.1b.

Code:
[State 0]
type = Zoom
scale = value
pos = x, y

Parameters:


Not sure what other parameters there are. Postype does not appear to do anything, which makes sense since they're deprecating it. This post will be edited as more information is found.

HUGE thanks to Websta for finding this!

Is this the same thing Tene found out about last year? (http://moonmeridian.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-5.html)
Just checking.

Looks like it, though I have not seen that yet.

That dude found that a year ago and nobody posted about it here? Why is this place still called mugen fighters guild?? Did you know about that sctrl the whole time? o_0

So this is character specific?? Awesome.

Yea, I'm coding illiterate but I'd love to learn. This is certainly a cool find. ;D

Yeah, but I figured everyone knew about it or something. I wondered since I saw that back then and figured "huh, maybe it's old news."

Whatever, the more folks know about this, the better. Leaves room for some absolutely crazy stuff!

Judging by the screenshot in the Japanese blog, it zooms everything (except the screenpack - the bars, portraits and timer), but it's triggered in the character's code. Dunno what it does when both characters use a zoom at the same time. Also lol the afterimage after the zoom has ended stays zoomed.

Dude, posting about it, even if there might be some other thread about it would have been cool.
No one ever went "oh no, two posts trying to help people find out more undocumented stuff"
Title: Re: Undocumented zoom SCTRL in 1.1b

We need a stickied thread for things like this actually!
This is also news worthy IMO

It also has some problems with moving outside of the zoomed area of the stage: http://a.pomf.se/fxamux.webm

But this is pretty neat overall!

Post by: rednavi -RETIRED on August 28, 2014, 02:06:48 am
Yeah, that's why I plan to only use it for winposes for the current game I'm working on. Which reminds me, what software should I use convert raw avi files into those cool webm videos? :P

I can't find the purpose of the lag parameter. Anything higher than 0 disables my zoom completely.

I found another graphical glitch. This sctrl doesn't seem to interact very well with explods in the background. It will displace them and ruin the position of explods.

This guy with the white shirt is coded as an explod with mugen 1.1 parameter (So it doesn't use deprecated postypes) with pos=0,0 (The sprite itself doesn't have the axis at the center of it though) and it's bind to a helper with postype=left and pos=160,23 (Center of screen, ground level).

Stage zooming doesn't have this glitch.

WHAT?! SERIOUSLY...
Dude i've been using this kind of thing but CUSTOM coded omg now i feel like i wasted so much time .___.
Anyways thanks for letting us know !

Btw i just tested the code and it's actually not changing the camerazoom parameter ?
check it yourselves

Well it is undocumented, so that's probably one of the reasons.

I think I know why. This zoom is not the same one as the stage zoom. It closes the camera to a certain bindpoint but it will never force the camera to scroll at all. This is merely just an amplification of a certain spot of the screen. It doesn't interact with the stage camera parameters at all.

This would actually be quite interesting, if it gets added into MUGEN on the next update.

I know GM actually made his version of camera zooming for his SF3 characters, but it takes up several variables, and it doesn't affect the actual stage, and, instead, affects the players, projectiles, and helpers only.

I just want to say, Jmorphman, that Ryu edit is sexy.


You should update him to have that, along with the details that later P.o.t.S characters have.

Post by: ESFAndy011 on September 03, 2014, 11:06:01 pm
On the risk this is a silly question, I feel compelled to ask: what if the character with this zoom is hit in the middle of it? Long shot, I know, but would it bug out unless you specify a zoom out or would it just instantly zoom out or what?

Also, what about stages with zooming out implemented?
Title: Re: Undocumented MUGEN features - zoom SCTRL in 1.1b
Post by: Jesuszilla on September 03, 2014, 11:11:48 pm
From my experience, the zoom is reset when they're hit. You can solve that using one of the negative states and a variable.

That's probably done using character scaling and is not the same thing.

Post by: Cyanide on September 28, 2014, 01:16:26 am
Actually, the BG is zooming in that too. Or i'm seeing an optical illusion. Still, 1.1 has been out with zoom for ages, perhaps the sctrl existed that far back and nobody actually bothered to tell people.
Title: Re: Undocumented MUGEN features - zoom SCTRL in 1.1b
Post by: Jesuszilla on September 28, 2014, 02:21:05 am
Ah, that's right. Forgot the stage zoom was only in 1.1.

Post by: DJ_HANNIBALROYCE on September 28, 2014, 02:12:14 pm
whatever the video editing program was to make the video could've zoomed in too. either way it looks dope.

Post by: Jesuszilla on September 29, 2014, 01:59:45 am
It appears to be faked, indeed. The stage freezes, which means it's a static image. The characters also misalign.
Title: Re: Undocumented MUGEN features - command line options
Post by: inktrebuchet on October 04, 2016, 04:44:07 pm
I was looking through mugen.exe with a hex editor and found these while working on a project. I don't think these have been listed anywhere else. I gave a quick description but i haven't really dived into what all these options are used for.

MUGEN 1.0 undocumented command line options. *possibly earlier versions also.

-ailevel
   change difficulty 1-9. example: -ailevel 3
-rubric
   refers to motif in data folder, pretty much -r
-speedtest
   ends match right away.
-storyboard
   goes dirctly to story board. example: -storyboard char/kfm/intro.def
-stresstest
   cpu controlled with speed increased.
-speed
   changes speed. example: -speed 5


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MUGEN 1.1b undocumented command line options.

-ailevel
   change difficulty 1-9. example: -ailevel 3
-gamedir
   Points to a different directory. Different directory must have data, chars, stages, font folders. eample: -gamedir <directory's name>
-rubric
   refers to motif in data folder, pretty much -r
-speedtest
   ends match right away.
-storyboard
   goes dirctly to story board. example: -storyboard char/kfm/intro.def
-stresstest
   cpu controlled with speed increased.
-speed
   changes speed. example: -speed 5


Debug AILevel goes from 1-9 because in mugen it's set as 0-8, being 0 human controlled

There's also the following undocumented parameter:
-sessionseed
example: mugen -sessionseed 2

This will set a specific session number for the Session RNG parameter in mugen.log, instead of a random one
Quote
Session RNG seed is <num>
Not sure of its usefulness though...

Just to be sure they are undocumented did you try this to see if they were listed?

For a full list of command-line options, type:

  ./mugen -h

Post by: inktrebuchet on October 07, 2016, 08:07:12 pm
Of course. I have only listed the undocumented ones here. I also searched for a good bit online to see if anyone else had come across them, to my surprise nothing popped up.

There are a handful of other ones I didn't list that are well documented and -h shows.
