To be clear i need to download the demo and then overwrite the fceditor.exe with this one?
It's just giving me a black windowed screen when I try to run it on my laptop. Maybe it's only laptop specific though. I had the demo working on my PC when I tried it a few months back. I'll try again when i get home.

Yeah, and you may need to delete the Fighter Creator folder in your documents folder.

These are just the most notable things I could think of right now to keep this post a bit shorter, but basically everything was touched, modified, and improved in some way :
REDESIGNED UI
The interface had to be completely rebuilt to accommodate some of the new features
CUSTOM COLORS
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_customcolor1_zpsdfbca7e4.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/customcolor1_zpsdfbca7e4.png.html) (http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_customcolor2_zps854133dd.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/customcolor2_zps854133dd.png.html) (http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_customcolor3_zps581d8ed9.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/customcolor3_zps581d8ed9.png.html) (http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_customcolor4_zps0e9b61d0.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/customcolor4_zps0e9b61d0.png.html)
FUNCTIONALITY
* FOLDERS
You can now have as many folders as you want inside other folders.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/multiplefolders_zps467aef87.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/multiplefolders_zps467aef87.png.html)
* COPY - CUT - PASTE
This basic feature has now been added, should make script editing much easier.
* CONTEXT MENU
App Bar has been replaced with a context menu, giving you quicker access to multiple options.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/contextmenu_zps146783c7.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/contextmenu_zps146783c7.png.html)
ACTIVE PREVIEW
One of the biggest additions is the always active preview window. Effectively allowing you to design and test your work at the same time.
* GRIDS
A toggleable grid has been added, along with grid snapping, to make menu gadget and object precision editing a lot easier.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/grid_zps2df00f0b.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/grid_zps2df00f0b.png.html)
* PREVIEW SETTINGS
Since the preview window is always active, the ability to load/unload multiple resources at will was added, as well as more debugging options.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_previewsettings_zpsda86bf9b.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/previewsettings_zpsda86bf9b.png.html) (http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_previewsettings2_zpsb4581a02.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/previewsettings2_zpsb4581a02.png.html)
IMAGE ADJUSTMENTS
Edge Blurring and Light FX now resize the image so that the blurred parts of the image are not clipped midway.
-
Nice to see that you are still around, Let's see what you have for us in the new update. =)
-
Is good to see you still working on it,i hope the new version is finally easy to use,i downloaded th engine last year ,from there to this year i have no ideia how to work on it,and having some resolution issued ._.
-
Almost finished with the update, just have to test some things and finish the resources. Going to show you guys how to do title screens, character/stage selections, game options, a simple game mode, game HUD, and a character with basic moves.
-
Nice.
Looking forward to it.
-
how would fighter creator be used

how would fighter creator be used
Mhh maybe to create Fighting Games perhaps? ;D
-
Progress on the update has really been going well, definitely should be ready this week, pushing for Wednesday.
But the new features added, especially the active game preview, are already having a huge impact on working with the engine. While creating some of the example resources, being able to see the results immediately and then make changes in real time has made development much easier and quicker. I've also modified the item list to display debug information too, so If a number variable's value changes it will be tagged to let you know, and running scripts/frames will be tagged as well.
-
I was planning on getting this out last week, but found a bunch of bugs while testing the engine. Some took a good amount of time to fix but the engine is finally ready to go and a lot of it has been significantly improved.
A demo of the latest version can be found here : Fighter Creator Official Webpage (http://fightercreator.webs.com/)
[ If you've previously installed a version of Fighter Creator, make sure you delete the 'Fighter Creator' folder in your 'My Documents' folder. ]
Tutorials for getting started with the engine will be up soon.
-
Is there a full version for those that already bought it?
-
Yes, I'm sending them out now.
-
Do you have a video of a character in game moving around and whatnot? Like outside of the creator building all of this I've never seen a result.
-
I will post a quick video showing that.
-

Will be posting a Quick Start Guide along with the first character creation guide later tonight.
Also your going to need to get a update for FC to fix resource copying so you can use the character template.

New Character Template
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/ss1_zpsriptyn8u.png)
Designed to help users understand how to create the basics systems needed to get a functional character on screen. All you have to do is just add your own sprites to a character using this template to see results on screen, and then expand on the systems provided by the template.

Well went ahead and bought the program. So you better not disappear!
How close to current fighting game standards are you going to implement things? Like will it have push boxes along with blue and red hit boxes?
How much feedback would you like in things that would make this easier to use and things that current fighters have?
Are there specific areas you are focusing on?
Will it be easy to set up engines and templates to share and allow people to expand on?
-
Thanks lol, I'm not going anywhere.
As close as I can possibly get it to where the character can generally work for most fighting games, and then you would just add your game-specific features on top of it.
A ton of feedback is welcomed.
Just mainly focusing on basic movement and combat, but I can also cover more advanced features like tag team systems and so on.
Yes, templates for complete resources or gameplay systems will be share-able and people will be able to add on top of them.
-
I don't ask for anything crazy. I just want to be able to create games like Street Fighter and Darkstalkers accurately.
I take a lot of screen shots and videos to compare source accuracy when I create. I'd love it if for example I could use your interface to simplify the way hits work.
Like when someone jabs them I'd like to visually be able to place the character in the correct location they should be at for each tick. Does that make sense? And to be able to do similar to code wall push, etc.
Make templates for these and have the ability to edit each move respectively.
That's just 1 example. I'm tearing the SF and DS series apart and would love to give you ideas. I get most of my ideas while doing my MUGEN adaptations. Your visual interface could open a lot of doors as this progresses.
The reason I mentioned the push box is because MUGEN doesn't have one at all. And we have to do crazy work arounds to make things work properly.
-
You mean something like this : https://youtu.be/5fC-eBXuDk4?t=1m10s (https://youtu.be/5fC-eBXuDk4?t=1m10s)
If you look closely you will see a couple of small boxes, these are Position Collision boxes. I used them for the throw attack, but they allow you to position players where ever you want in the game.
-
Yeah that looks like it'd be useful. I'll give you more feedback when I can mess with the full version. Still got to wait for my download link and Probably have to wait till Tuesday because I'll be staying with my mother the next 3 days and FC didn't run on my laptop.
-
JNP is always two weeks ahead of me >_>
So i went and bought the commercial edition. I guess I'm waiting for a emailed link correct?
Expect a bunch of ideas/feature requests/suggestions/questions ;D
-
@Genesis: Yeah, please give me as much feedback as you can.

RESOURCE SYSTEMS
Makes game development with Fighter Creator a lot easier by allowing users to create or use predefined game mechanics which, streamlines the creation process. By using Resource Systems, you no longer need to know how to implement most of the complicated gameplay features because resource systems, created by other users, can contain these features already perfected for you.
Resource System options can be accessed by clicking on the 'RS' button at the bottom of the middle bar :
(http://i.imgur.com/dXsJw2Y.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/PFpL6kx.png)
- New Resource System - Sets up a new resource system.
- Import Resource System - Import an existing resource system.
- Edit Resource System - Imports an existing resource system for editing.
- Reset Resource System - Removes any left over resource system data.
If creating or editing a Resource System, new options will be available for you to add variables, entities, scripts, and frames to that system :
(http://i.imgur.com/PdHBfOW.png)
(http://i.imgur.com/3u9o0K2.png)
When items are added to the system they will be tagged to let you know :
(http://i.imgur.com/4K0Dl7H.png)
After you are finished adding/adjusting everything in the system, clicking on the Resource System button, and clicking the 'Export Resource System' option will allow you to save your changes and export the results to a file :
(http://i.imgur.com/EOCkBVg.png)
Once the file has been exported, press the Resource System button again, and then click on the 'Close Resource System' option to exit out of Resource System editing.
To use the Resource System, press the Resource System button, then press the 'Import Resource System' button to load the system you previously exported.
After the system has been imported, the data the system contained will be added to your project. Any data added to the Resource System hidden will not be visible when imported ( frames will still be visible but cannot be modified ). If there were any scripts that were added to the Resource System pre-defined, they can be accessed by pressing the Resource System button :
(http://i.imgur.com/MtBqgAZ.png)
After choosing the pre-defined script you want to insert into your project, you will then need to name the script :
(http://i.imgur.com/K1U9Kvm.png)
Once named, the script will be added to your project ready for usage :
(http://i.imgur.com/y5wc9aV.png)
The Character Template posted before will be converted into a Resource System and posted here soon.
-
Not sure if you fixed it in this update as I didn't get a chance to report it but there was a bug (at least on my end) with the Change Color Editor. It picks colors fine, but if you have a set color already, and hit cancel in the color picker box, it reverts/uses to the black & white/grayscale theme regardless of what you previously had.
My internet is out, otherwise I'd reported it sooner.
-
@Genesis: I will make a note of that.

QUICK UPDATE - 3.93.10.16.15
* Makes some improvements to Resource Systems.
DOWNLOAD (http://www.mediafire.com/download/ws9fs7nzxnwfnan/Fighter_Creator_-_Demo_-_Update_393101615.7z)
Here is the Character Template converted into a Resource System (http://www.mediafire.com/download/at5mul29t9dirdc/basicchar.fcressys), let me know if you have any questions or need help.
Also, this will most likely be the last update for this version of Fighter Creator. The next update will focus on optimize the entire program, removing a ton of bugs, and adding 3D support and more.
-
I know getting the engine where it needs to be is top priority, but how soon do you think we can get some documentation/guides? I found the program hard to kind jump into, even being point and click.
I have no net so I'm not in any rush for it personally, but curious is all.
Nonetheless, yay updates!
-
@Genesis: What part of the engine do you need help with the most?
-
I will give this a try next week hopefully, and see its capabilities for myself first hand. If all goes good, I'll highly consider making a fighting game using it (and pay the $10 for the Commercial version).
Keep it up, sir. ^_^
-
It feels like everything. I can start a project, but I feel lost for most of everything. iirc I got as far as adding a image folder....
I think once I know the function of everything (totally lost on the script stuff tbh) I'll be alright. I'm aware most things have a brief description on the bottom left.
EDIT: Again though, I can wait. I need to make more resources for my game anyway.
-
I just wanna start off by saying that this program has been really useful so far, so thanks for that. :)
Though I'm having an issue where every time I reopen the project I'm working on, the contents of the character scripts keep on getting duplicated,
just thought I'd left you know about this. (bug?)
But again, thanks for developing this anyways.
EDIT: I Think it's linked to save crashing.
-
@Torpex5: Yeah its a bug. All of these issues should be corrected in the latest version.
