details: character that came with the original versions of the engine KOF91 status: sprite file is mostly done, i haven't really coded anything yet because his sprite count kinda tells me i'll have to brainstorm a few things. also collected sounds (specifically shigeru chiba voice clips)
Deke Cay

(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/deke.gif)
details: sub-boss from tattoo assassins status: well my version is stopped; magic toaster is working on his own jjba-styled version now
details: a redo of my first character ever status: i have SOME sprites drawn, but no coding done at all really. i don't even think i have the files anymore. kelexo might
details: character from the live-action allumer game gokuu densetsu magic beast warriors status: pretty much stopped. i couldn't really get it to feel like the game at all and i lost interest
details: a doofy edit of lin, somewhat in response to the lack of a good lin in MUGEN status: a good amount is done, but on hold for now
i know i forgot like 40 other ones because my backlog is massive, but!

Fat Raiden looks interesting! Does he have a story?
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin'
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on December 27, 2010, 08:58:32 pm
The first time I've ever worked on a Doom project, I replaced the pinkydemon with two sprites of Raiden's crotch punched animation, and his attack would be his sprites where he was inflating, like when he got hit with Kiss of Death or whatever; me being stupid, his new attack sounds were just me yelling I'M FAT into the microphone
Figures, this apparently one of my most appreciated additions to Skulltag by my friends; not that I don't think he'd be hilariously fun to make in MUGEN

I've been kind of on-and-off on work with Alter Amiba
sum paletz...of course the 6th one is tongue in cheek!
So basically right now he's got: - a cleaned out .sff and .snd file (finally...) - sorta 6-button gameplay now - plenty o' pain/taunt noises - 3 supers (one of them being an attempt at Yoh Soh Sonkyaku or whatever the hell it's called) - new victory portrait (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/BONURamiba.png)
When he's near completion, I'll try asking somebody who actually -knows- something about HnK gameplay mechanics to give me a hand -- and who knows, might attempt making a normal Amiba for those who don't want stupid-ass moves/sounds
Also a sneak peek not-really-beta (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/alteramiba.rar) if anyone cares (still lol)
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin'
Post by: Do not even ask on January 05, 2011, 12:35:33 pm
Debug flood on the intro.
Collisions man, collisions. In a couple frames of his idle stance, he loses his collisions. No collisions on his taunt. Forward air dash has one tiny box. CLSNDefault will work perfectly for his airdash.
Probably might want to null out the specials you haven't completed yet (QCF+A/B, QCB+X/Y)
You might want to make the damage dampener way more strict on supers. QCFx2+x -> QCBx2+x -> j.s nets you 800+.
QCF+x misses a lot of characters. Extending the collision lower to at least hit KFM wouldn't be egregious.
There probably shouldn't be any poweradds on his basics if they whiff.
It's a little rough around the edges but it shows lots of promise.
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Amiba palette pickin')
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on January 12, 2011, 01:50:40 am
Also just out of boredom, I made a few too many palettes, and since MUGEN only supports 12 (unless you count that palette-switching thing that frankly, I'm not going to do at all), I'd figure I'd let others pick 12 themselves or something...so yeah, do that if you want, I'll put the remaining 4 (or others if I decide to make more) in an 'altpalette' folder or something
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mystomach.png)
In a short bit I'll go upload the newest beta after fixing a buncha things; and the cool thing is I can finally say he's a 6 button character...I dunno why I'm proud of that

Post by: Rozay on January 12, 2011, 07:09:33 am
With palettes like those, I don't even know if I want to ask to make some.
I'll let me and my biased opinion wait until others decide on their favorites.
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Amiba palette pickings)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on January 13, 2011, 12:29:55 am
Y'might as well either make palettes or vote on 'em now because I doubt I'll get people to actually vote
Also although those three problems aren't yet fixed, more stuff got added (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/alteramiba.rar), this is still more of a 'here's some ideas' phase before I start fine-tweaking him; namely his basics have really needlessly precise CLSNs
New retouched beta along with those three problems being fixed (lazy-ass I know) will probably be up tomorrow or, hell, maybe even tonight
So yeah, lemme know whatcha think (also forgot to mention, X+Y is a juggle attack, but I'm not sure it's supposed to work like juggling a soccerball...)

....So you WANT me to make palettes now? Send me a sprite or something then.
As for my picks, i'd have to say get rid of the MC Fire, Geira, Boogal and MvC3 ones.

Post by: Jesuszilla on January 16, 2011, 10:36:11 pm
Amiba, Alter Amiba, Boogal, Hyo, MC Fire, Stoner, Taiga, Zaria, Geira
I'm really sad that you nerfed a.C and removed the second hit of a.B (even if it was a bug, I kinda liked that).
Also, qcf+HP passes through at close range on some opponents: (http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/2589/mugen061.png)

Alright well before I get back on Amiba I figured I'd pick up on Billy and fix him more since I have the resources for it now
And hey, public beta! (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/billytm.rar)
He has a shitty axe toss move that'll probably get removed, a bad large portrait that I'll have to replace and the jumping forward/backward sprite....yeah, nothing else to say there
I kinda feel like I'm improving him significantly but that's why I post these, so lemme know if I fucked up anything

NEW VIDEO UP WHOOP WHOOP (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N25oRMt3Yms)
Since I released that beta, more things have been tweaked such as: - Better thrown state alignment - Lessened the damage on Billy Beatdown so that Ono Tesshin has a point - A...kind of better jumping forward/backward animation.... - fixed the air punch collisions lol - Fixed the sprite coordinates - Billy Beatdown now has milder envshake and ends differently (roundhouse kick rather than an uppercut) - Fixed supers giving back power
After I get done with Billy, I can do either of two things:
1 - start on A.C. Current 2 - start on respriting Kung Fun Man
And the new feature this Fun Man will have is something everybody loves apparently... (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/kungfunmanthesecondcoming.png)

Well UMKT was hack of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for Sega Genesis so yeah that Shang Tsung sprites he ripped is from that hack that is so broken. I'm guessing he'll morph into MK1 characters or everything.
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (UMKT Shang Tsung)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on April 05, 2011, 01:10:28 am
as k' just said yeah, the really ugly ones are sprite edits exclusive to umkt, and genesis conversions of said sprite edits gets you...that
it's not pretty but it's better than just having him turn into johnny cage just to get him to do an uppercut
also yeah, he's gonna morph into mk1 characters....for the most part, but just for moves and not an actual morph system because one, it didn't work like that in umkt and two i refuse to code that lol

(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen342.png)
thanx, this worked out wonderfully
might as well post my idea of a movelist here for...i dunno why, where he had only one of these moves in the source game because i'm pretty sure deke was never actually finished as a character. also ex moves for no reason
bone dash: a charge move where he dashes forward holding out a bone. x variant will have him slide pretty far, y variant (bone jabber) will have him dash shorter but it does more damage. ex variant (bone drill) will have him slide as much as the x variant but it hits multiple times.
organ toss: standard projectile. x variant is his intestine that travels pretty far and has low acceleration but minimal damage. y variant (chunka meat) won't travel too far but it'll do a lot more damage. ex variant (organ donor) will have him throw both at middle-of-the-road values for both.
for the supers:
ashi tatsumaki fuhai: a super move with a japanese name for no reason. a level 1 super where he glides across the air kicking repeatedly, obviously only really useful for anti-air.
how 'bout some hematemesis: his level 2 super. y'know marco rossi's super where he vomits out blood in neo geo battle coliseum? yeah this is a direct rip-off of that move.
hone jigoku: another bullshit japanese-named move, this might be a harahara in the style of waku waku 7 where it has large start-up time but does pretty massive damage to punish not stopping him. it's simply a move where he takes out a cluster of bones and starts wildly tossing them after the harahara mode is activated.
so....yeah. just leaving that there.

Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Deke Cay)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on July 08, 2011, 09:55:05 am
because it would. and also in typical lol melv fashion, he's on hold too. but might as well upload what i got for him now. (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/deke.rar) a lot of sprites have yet to be changed and i lost some actual progress in a harddrive crash a bit ago but that's the extent of it. feedback welcome as always.
same thing with top fighter 2. although i'm just collecting sprites for the time being for that one.
might as well post his current movelist now since i almost completely re-worked it:
Lazy Kick - a kick move using only one sprite that kind of mutated into a roll attack of sorts. The Back'ander - a close-range slap move. i kinda need opinions on what actual properties to give this because right now it's kinda useless. Starry Bullet - a projectile move that's...well, just a projectile. pyron's unused projectile from one of the earlier vampire savior games to be exact. Freakin Rip Off Of Liu Kang - an air-only move that's a dashing air kick. reworking it to fly straight rather than downwards because lol
Supers:
Uwaraba Smash - while yelling 'uwaraba' for no reason he falls flat on his face, causing damage with every frame at close range. also works as an OTG super. Amiba's Reaction To Obama's Victory - Amiba assumes a pose which stuns upon contact. landed or not, he then sends various baraka clones after them. Yoso Sankaku Kyaku - one of the few leftover old moves (the other being freakin ripoff), this is a level 2 air super where he rises backwards and then flies down with a kick, doing considerable damage upon contact. Explosions The Movie - another harahara in the style of wakuwaku7, he braces himself for semi-self-destruct. will do major damage as all harahara's do.
and that's all i got. i'm still working on a few things and adding totally hell-larious intros/winposes so luckily he might be available for release soon.

Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Alter Amiba still kickin')
Post by: Cybaster on July 11, 2011, 12:57:01 am
I tested Deke. :)
- Put the musics/voices during intros on a particular channel, and put a stopsnd in state -2. Because it looks odd to have the voices continue when you skip the intros. - Typo in readme for qcf motions, which are in fact qcb. - Organ Toss would feel more natural if the organ was describing an arc motion rather than a line, making it affected by gravity. - The crouch CLSN. o_O - Same for taunt. - Turn sprites not added yet, but you know that. :P
I love the Muse intro, it really cracked me up. :D It's shaping up nicely for now. I really want to see what other crazy ideas you'll come up with. :)

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 16, 2011, 06:51:05 pm
welp, this is late as hell but thanks for the reply cybaster. i've pretty much decided deke's gonna be next after this new project i'm planning. yeah i kicked around the idea of kyo hombre but after alter amiba, i kinda wanted to make a character who has a movelist that exists
enter strawbelly jam (or drethdok outside of japan). yeah, another battle monsters character, big surprise. he seems like he'll be pretty simple to make though so i'm gonna set my sights on making him for now.
a few notes though: in the game, upon holding A+B, he can regenerate his health. yeah. i think i'm just gonna rip off elena's healing move from third strike for that.
this is also not his original palette, this is. (http://fenixware.net/fab/images/costumes/2815/drethdok_bmo.png) thing is, when i rip from yabause, he has black that blends in with the background, pretty much making it unrippable. so i went with his alternate instead, and the other palette there is the 'blueberry jam' palette because lol funny
but yeah. basically this first and then deke because i liked how he was coming out

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 24, 2011, 04:32:07 am
just a wee update. with the help of my good buddy kelexo, i've been able to get his original palette back, as you can see here plus another one kelexo made that just looks hella cool
what has been done: - his basics (aside from like two of them) - his shoulder shove - his sound clips (he only has like 4 of them but still.) - that weird 360 kick roll he has - the double arm uppercut - that (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/nom.gif) - a majority of his gethits (i still need to rip his crouching ones) - that one move where he slams his fist into the ground and causes the screen to shake + damages the opponent from a certain distance - his healing super. it kinda heals a lot at the moment. contemplating making it a level 2. - all the essentials (intro, taunt, win)
what needs to be done: - his fire breathing attack - his cannonball attack - his actual super in game. mainly, just does a double arm uppercut like three times and then it ends in his bite throw. i say fuck that and just make the bite an attack rather than a grapple for this super. - collision boxes for most of the essentials (gethits really)
that's pretty much it. he's making good progress at the moment so stay tuned???
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Strawbelly Jam in the workz)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 28, 2011, 03:40:11 pm
well, just showin' off a few screens and noting a few things since he's nearing completion
first, the 'cannonball attack' in the original game is pretty much useless so i'm nixing that until further notice. the 'fugu attack' here travels higher than it should but i kinda like how it accidentally came out since it acts more like an anti-air now seen here
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen343.png)
programmed the throw in like a minute. pretty simple.
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen346.png)
lastly, i added his fire press attack which is basically like...just yoga flame i guess.
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen344.png)
i still gotta do his actual offensive super as opposed to the health recovery one (which has been nerfed a tiny bit), and his damage values...uh....they're HALF right. i tried doing the caveman method as you can see here (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/satanistheevilestman.png), but apparently accurate damage scaling = 3 hit combo would do 50% damage. so i just halved the values and they work fine now.
lastly dxwho ripped the hitsparks from the game which i didn't think of doing at all, so i'm gonna be snagging those. and no i'm not going to bother programming the blood drops
so basically all i gotta do now is align the hitsparks, his head.pos and mid.pos, fix the gethits a bit and he should be good to go soon

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on September 04, 2011, 07:15:52 pm
captain's log yaddayaddayadda
so i changed around a few things (again thanks to drkelexo) and tweaked it to be more 'accurate' in terms of aesthetics and, hey, functions help too
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/newjamwip01.png)
the cannonball attack was added. functions the same as it does in source; floats up and then crashes at a downward angle
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/newjamwip02.png)
fugu attack was made to be more accurate to source, as it no longer shoots up in the air but does a small hop. also you may notice the hitspark there. those are straight from the game too; and yes they look like that in game. i know.
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/newjamwip03.png)
the big jaw was made so that the distance was a bit farther, and it looks decidedly less awkward
and due to him dealing some pretty nasty damage during combos, a damage dampener was added
lastly i made his super. thing is i coded it in the most awkward way possible, so i'm gonna have to redo it, or at least redo the way it ends
after that, i need to add a special that happens after pressing A (or X in this case) repeatedly
and a note: after i'm done this, i will either go on a massive wip-finishing spree or start on either of two projects: ahmed johnson from wwf in your house and another character i'm keeping secret for now. but he'll have palette separation. hohoho he'll have palette separation.

welp, started some progress. nothing much to say other than i did most of his basics, and thanks to jesuszilla figured out the best way to do priority with them. something roughly to this (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen619.png) but with, y'know, actual blue collisions on kenneth himself. but i'm getting to that.
i kinda want to give him a kof-style dodge to start learning stuff since i semi-plan on making hostile mspaint takeover after this. or maybe after whatever i do after this so that it doesn't get monotonous. whatevs.

welp, being busy, and lazy, and slightly more motivated, and more certain on what i want to focus on yielded my decision to remake heart heat harn
i don't have screenshots but i have this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcVtzogvxtI). more to come later.
oh and a side project inspired/started by midsinister: ghetto warmachine. again more to come later.

okay random progress update, slew of screenshots comin'
getting the hang of how helper projectiles work, as the first screenshot shows a projectile where it goes upward and then bounces downward. the majority of his specials, if not all of them, are done at this point. i just need to do his throw, his super and his mash A 'combo'. also fiddling with the juggle gravity and such, cuz the dashing knee attacks can do some serious wreckage in the corner
oh and custom small portrait as well. everyone else in battle monsters had a scaled-down shot from their ending slide cards except harn who simply had a shot from his standing sprite. that's a really lazy move so i just made a custom one in the fashion of all of the other characters
'side from the throw, super, hitfx tweaks and AI he's pretty much almost done, so 'stay tuned'

okay, well. i got most of the stuff done and i don't really got the time or mindset atm to finish absolutely everything, so i figured i'd drop a public beta to see if there's any serious bugs so far. you can get it here (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/hhharn.rar).
BE SURE TO READ THE README, SPECIFICALLY THE BETA TESTING SECTION. THIS WILL EXPLAIN THINGS LIKE THE THROW. thank you.

I still say you need to have smoke constantly coming out of him. Ghetto Warmachine would after all be smoking a joint at all times, within the armor somehow. ;P

That isn't a bad idea. Everytime he gets hit you could have chunks of metal come out (with sfx to go along with it).
Perhaps even make his weight seem realistic, basically similar to Gold War Machine in MVC1 in the sense that he jumps low as Hell and seems like you're actually controlling something that weighs a ton. In this case though for the sense of humor maybe he could even fall flat on his ass every once in a while after landing from a jump or backdash.

when i think a ghetto warmachine suit I am thinking a trash can, a football helmet, cheap little cannons, roll skates, and for flying a broken down propellar.
granted that sounds ridiculous but yeah he should also have a sound like a busted engine and blow up when he dies lol. Idk ghetto normally means trashy in style that is. so i picture everything failing and falling apart.

huh, you mean like how everyone in clayfighter 63 1/2 has chunks of stuff flying out? that's not a bad idea at all, yeah
i mean yeah i only have very very minor abilities at sprite editing so the more 'advanced' stuff might be out of the question, but the smoke and chunks and hell, even the random falling could work. also yeah i might make him less mobile considering, as some of his specials already have some pretty slow start-up (i.e. the 'repulsive blast', a keep-away move where he slams his fist into the ground and pretty much summons a hitbox around him)
thanx for the ideas, this'll help a lot, and mdi yours will be most likely put in the most since you came up with the idea in the first place. oh and i already have a movelist penned out so

Also, Ghetto Warmachine should use a ghetto jetpack made of an old engine and coca cola cans.

still undecided at the moment, i only have an idea of a proton cannon replacement that takes longer to activate yet launches a gigantic stack of money that zips across the screen at a ridiculous speed, but i dunno, i'll probably have to think of something better
and also that's genius, i'm gonna have to implement that jetpack somehow

well since i started college today and i'm randomly pretty tired, useless update:
started doing some serious (?) work on ghetto wm last night, tweaked some of his basics and combo chains. his heavy variants are pretty slow but very hard-hitting and knock the opponent considerably far away, since i still want to keep the sluggish keep-away gimmick going with this guy
need to add the hitoverrides for the projectiles, add like 3 more supers and uh...maybe more win/intro poses. oh and super fx and all that shit. it's sorta up in the air but not, but either way you should be seeing some progress soon
oh and i'm just leaving this here; if you see an edit of my terrible ren hoek, it wasn't my decision. make of that what you will.
ah, and lastly i might to a massive and KUH-RYYYYPTIC wip poll since i have so many ideas after this character, which include things from blood warrior to dragoon might
so...yeah. i'm gonna go take a nap now
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Ghetto Warmachine, Jaoh palette template)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on January 17, 2012, 03:08:36 pm
alright, so a few things. ghetto wm has all of his basics done, tweaked some of his supers AGAIN, etc... it's going kinda slow for now so now i'm doing a side project; jaoh from dragoon might
now, this character's going to be a challenge. for one, there's no easy way of getting these sprites so i have to just break out animget and hope the camera doesn't zoom out when doing things. second, there's no way to completely turn off the music for voice clips, so i have to specifically fight on layla's stage with one of the audio channels muted because that's the quietest thing i could find. this still leads to things such as the winquote soundbytes being just one big audio blob (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/win3.wav), so...
however, thanks to my bestest buddy drkelexo, he now has a palette template!
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/tryandlive.bmp)
few things about this: the stuff at the bottom are the general effect palette sets. since there's no clean way to get these sprites, the effects are pretty much on the sprites themselves. also the two blade color rows...the game has that weird thing where the weapons occasionally 'glow' so sometimes i get shots of those. if you're coloring those at all i'd recommend just copying both rows onto each other.
but yeah, i'm not completely giving up on ghetto wm, hell no. he's been a fun character to make but i kinda need a break from one winged angel's messy as fuck template.
and that's about that.

eh might be one of the last times i post here, not really seeing a point in keeping this thread anymore nowadays, either that or i'm just being stupidly pessimistic atm. i was
i'm wondering what i should do for a few things regarding gwm
one, he does a gunshot move but i can't seem to figure out what to do with it
(http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen261.png)
see that, even widening his length in general doesn't seem to make that any better. wonder if i should start figuring out how to add more width to that specific attack or just rework it all together. i sorta don't want to make it a spammable projectile though. he already has some of those (sorta. one goes downward and the other goes upward)
second, i have an idea for his proton cannon, and a level 3 which i might end up not even doing out of laziness but i reaaaaaally don't want that to happen cuz this might be an interesting experiment...
if you'll remember faust's "what's next?" then the proton cannon will sorta be like that. it'll drop one (or two??) of random items that do silly things and all that great stuff. or i might not, dunno. two random supers might be kinda dumb, hence the next idea....
the level 3 will have him summon two (or three!?) of his 'homies', basically another random list of strikers that all do varying degrees of attacks (i.e. one will start just shooting the place up while one may simply do a dash attack, stuff like that). some of them can be killed, some of 'em can't. it'll be all over the place and i'll just call this stupid mechanic 'the gamble' which i may start putting into my 'original' characters from now on.
as for jaoh, nothin' significant yet. although he'll be nerfed from source. specifically he was able to do the long range chain thingy in 3 different ways (straight, downward, and upwards) but now will only be able to do it straight because that's just too many options for him in my opinion.
....okay i lied. that's not why i made that decision. i made it because i can't fucking rip those sprites. so until then it'll be like that.
and that's it. have i posted this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cI58V5dNmts&feature=channel_video_title) cuz i'm posting it. ok later

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on January 27, 2012, 10:27:09 pm

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on January 27, 2012, 10:55:23 pm
yeah. the air variants are still getting blocked by lifebars. even the other guys who made dragoon might characters (ngi and sakuraka) apparently are still expressing how difficult it is to rip anything from this game
but again, what i got is good enough, but the air stuff might look odd because of the lack of frames

also one more minor thing (hopefully), but would it be preferable to add a super pause to his 'supers' or just make 'BOMBER' / 'SUPER BOMBER' come out like in source (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtrsoRP3UdE)
i'm startin' to think maybe the latter is a better choice

for those of you that care, leaning over to gwm some more, and as much as i'd love to make the 'gamble move' as insane as possible, i don't think i have the drive for it. maybe just two or three strikers, i dunno. and that definitely makes the level 2 being the same thing out of the question, but i have another idea for that anyway....
but yeah. probably gonna update on gwm some more since i wanna take a break from jaoh who is about half-way done atm. haven't added much, but his supers have like no start-up anymore. it's hard to tell if this is unfair because i don't really have any human input so to speak, but most of the shit dbk does is fine apparently so lol w/e

lol i wish i were going to the gym some more.
to be fair making palettes from templates is kinda weird, but i usually put templates in a new .sff in fighter factory and extract the palette from the template picture, and save the changed .act afterwards. to show said palette off it's usually best to save it with the changed palette applied as a .bmp although i'm not sure if .png works the same way. also this is all from fighter factory classic, haven't tried it with ff3 yet but i imagine it might be the same

welp, ghetto warmachine is being finalized by a certain friend, so be on the look out for him soon. and jaoh plans have been delayed. an accurate one anyway, i'm not skilled enough for that, so i think i'm gonna make a 'custom' jaoh before i make a faithful version. so onto my current project from an unknown playstation fighter, gokuu densetsu: magic beast warriors
yes that explosion is a placeholder. yes she'll have a custom super because she only has about two moves. yes yes.
so there's that, updatin' when necessary.

right well just finished two characters as you may have noticed, and i'm gonna -try- to finish another pair, as shown in the title. but one question.
i've been holding off on jaoh because his source material is a little too advanced for my coding ability, so do i:
a) make a custom version (different moves, maybe some different aesthetics for a few things) for now until i get my usual group to help get everything as accurate as i can, and release those two versions seperately b) just wait for a time to make him accurate and not bother with the custom version
as for rasetujo i just gotta get interest up to finish her since she'll be extremely easy, i just never actually get to it
but i'll get somethin' out there recently that isn't a silly joke, i promise

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on April 12, 2012, 07:10:54 pm
repeated press move that continues when you mash the button, roll recovery (i think i can pull that off at least), getting this super at 4:08 right (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtrsoRP3UdE), getting his uppercut move to look/act right, that kinda stuff. there's probably some things i'm forgetting atm but i'm still a novice coder so that'll take some work to get all that right. it also doesn't help i am NOTORIOUSLY bad with throws
oh and for some reason i'm really concerned with combos the most so that they're not standard kfm chains, and i'm not good at figuring that stuff out in source
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Rasetujo and Jaoh?)
Post by: Cybaster on April 12, 2012, 07:29:28 pm
Yeah, the super just looks like a standard throw but where you'll have to study a little the vels and how the enemy is supposed to get animated.
This isn't a complicated throw, but as ALL throws, it's tedious to create all the binds, the changestates and targetstates and make everything work at the correct tick. Nothing hard in normal circumstances, but very long and boring... :(

probably shouldn't post again so soon but fuck it i'm actually excited
started counting pauseframes and stuff, and now all of his basics actually feel like they're from the game he was in!! wow
so more or less posting to say i'm definitely gonna work on jaoh because of this. i didn't think it would work out okay but it did
as for the uppercut velocities i'm still not sure but at least i have clear reference for that now. and can you believe it took me all this time to find out that guard.pausetime exists? i'm fucking stupid
oh right, rasetujo. will probably do the same thing for her afterwards. she'll be way easier, fortunately

but yeah might upload another vid or something. i dunno. maybe when i make the moves closer to source than they are now. and when i figure out how to make good velocities and stuff, pretty much gonna snag sakuraka's tsugumi basic vels for that, but gonna see what i can do for his specific moves

alright so here's the deal. been working on rasetujo more lately because, again, she's simpler and i'm experimenting with the pause times and all that shit. meanwhile i'm yet again wondering what to do with jaoh, which i think really just adds up to me needing to learn how to code better because fuck if i'm gonna give him up, he's took too much effort
but since i like dreaming, i made this; a list of potential ideas (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mainsite/maybe.html). and yeah i know there's idea engineering but y'know...just a progress update to go along with that y'know?
she's going good though. if i stop being so fucking lazy she should be done soon, there's not much to her.

heh, perhaps, perhaps. sprite ripping in that game is rather rough but i'll see what i can do if i decide to make him
but for now have a rasetujo progress vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oE6cHW8qZs4)

this projectile is basically unrippable, right, then a great fella pointed me to a sheet that has the same symbol from legend of mana, and came up with this
bunch of crazy water and lightning effects all over that shit! i dunno what to do, thinking of just getting the 'water' sign and putting it on there? i don't know...i'm never doing another character from this game ever again!
or at least check to see if any of their effects are transparent first. godDAMN

alright, so um....
got all of her close hits done. i don't think i'm gonna bother with adding any other custom effects because i'm goddamn tired of working on this character. so i'm gonna ship her almost finished beta to a few friends, see what they can do to make her feel the least bit playable, and ship her out for good.
will do the same for jaoh eventually, but i got hit with another idea.
you remember that really bad game slaughter sport on the genesis? or maybe you remember it as 'mondu's fight palace' on the commodore 64, or 'tongue of the fatman', or simply 'fatman'. well, i think i'm gonna make a custom spin on the fat man himself.
Spoiler: Fat Man In Diaper Warning(click to see content)
in the vein of NGI's joker_sf, i'm also giving him an unfittingly dramatic japanese voice. namely, deathbringer's from battle fantasia. when i get those rips anyway.
lastly, there will be a chance a cutscene for his intro and winpose (both from genesis and commodore 64 respectively) to happen. and you can fill in the word balloon! i mean, if you want. i'm just sayin...
so that's that. progress is actually going really good all of a sudden! i guess i work better with characters that are completely bizarre and/or gross. and yes, jaoh will be finished, i don't care if i gotta outsource him to like 10 different people to do it. but i suddenly wanna do this, so.

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on June 10, 2012, 06:56:48 am
decided to release a very early public beta of mondu the fat. he's got most of his movelist down, some of the basics aren't done as well as his gethits, but i kinda want to see if i'm on the right track here.
snag the fat man here (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mondu.rar)
rasetujo should be on the way shortly when this guy's released too, so basically another double release i'm planning for this
shit, forgot to disable crouching X being able to combo into itself due to KFM originally having that. ack

Post by: Dishamonpow on June 10, 2012, 09:42:56 pm
Not really finding anything to game breaking so to speak from messing around with mondu.
He has some of KFM's specails but I'm sure thats already known and you haven't just tooken them out yet and/or not just edited them into his move set.
Also not to sure if this was intended to work like this or not, but its possible to attack with just the 1st part of the Electric Air Tongue attack if timed right causing just the launcher part of the attack and can lead into some 10 hit combos:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
(http://i47.tinypic.com/t9ik54.png)
This was done without the crouching X attack as you stated that that attack needed to edited some more. Now if that was intended I apologize for looking like a goof. And the damage seems ok for that many hits regardless but then I'm not so great with testing stuff. And I'm sure someone else can do a better job then I can.
Best of luck on Mr. The Fat and looking forword to your works.

thanks for the testin' though, much appreciated

since i got most of his essential attacks done (although not the gethits and such...i kinda need to figure out what sprites should be used for that since the original game had only falling sprites...), decided to upload a beta vid of him in action with a level 3 added that does sorta weak damage since i'm terrible at guessing damage, but i like how it came out anyway. welcome to the fat palace (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-WQuZYxNw8)

so you might have noticed from my obnoxious whoring-out of my latest project, i recently learned to rip from 3do, so i had to drop absolutely everything i was doing to make a character from way of the warrior that i've been wanting to do for so many months now; enter shaky jake
unlike my other 56567434530 wips (aside from mondu) i've been working on this guy very consistently, as shown in this vid here:
features added after this video: - a new special move called 'wheel kick' - made the jumping velocity closer to WOTW's - added all of his jumping anims - made his basics not as spammable as not to recreate the legendary walking jab of doom - new winpose (there was only one at the time of this making, not like you see it in this video anyway)
things i still need to do: - throw - blocking noises - a level 2 and level 3 super - a better intro - fix his spinning move to hit properly in the air somehow (any suggestions) - adding some easter eggs. i ain't tellin' ya how to get im~
so that's that

Unless DXwho beats him to the punch! Either way its very awesome to see.
So whats up with his super, the one with the flame? Maybe its just me but I can't tell whats going on. Oh and I'm sure you'll do this anyways but you should definitely add some palfx to the fire attacks....and I hope there is an optional american voice patch. D:

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 08, 2012, 09:13:29 am
(jeez this new layout is awkward)
with the moderate success of shaky jake, i gave up and decided to go a little mainstream with my next project. i guess it's good that everyone knows the series so...well....here goes. a street fighter 4 character.
the final boss of the REAL street fighter 4, with some custom elements, namely the voice. gonna add some custom supers (the same 1/1/2/3 system that jake has), and i cut one of his moves in half (namely the bouncing attack that's two really annoying lunge attacks strung together. he is the final boss though, but seriously.)
nah i'm not gonna make a conbon clone...he'll have his palette though. if i do make conbon by some bizarre chance though, he'll play completely different and i'll even edit his sprites.
so yeah, there. maybe this'll kick lasombra's project back into motion lol, who knows
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (caved in, now doing a Street Fighter character)

Ah yes Street Fighter 4. Best of luck with Mr. Musashi and hope to see the love and care you showed with Shaky Jake with all your works to come(And any updates you may have in mind). Not saying you haven't in the past as I can see the hard work you put into them but it just really showed with Shaky Jake. (That or I'm just odd)

thanx much for the continuing support. and yeah i kinda see that too...it was mostly just being really excited that i managed to rip stuff from 3D0 after 2 years of trying and failing, but i also sorta was starting to finally figure out how hitdefs worked for once. it's one of the first times i can say i'm totally proud of something i made
thanks again, really means a bunch

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 11, 2012, 09:42:31 pm
added a few more things, namely supers. might need suggestions regarding how to make the damn jumping attacks so hard to land. then again i guess i did make the hitboxes too small...
also the meteor shower super is a direct rip of abel's super from battle arena toshinden 3, cuz he's using his voice anyway
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (caved in, now doing a Street Fighter character)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on August 19, 2012, 04:26:08 am
okay he's almost done, implemented some more things to make him more 'boss-like'
- his jumping attacks now lock onto the opponent. the normal one locks on right at the peak of his jump, while the super homes in on them as he's flying downwards. bounded the screen so that the camera doesn't go crazy on tall stages - the meteor super also homes in on the opponent now - added a level 3. it's also a direct ripoff of abel's soul bomb where he nails the opponent to the wall with a giant flurry of projectiles (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mugen1393.png) not really a good screenshot but a picture doesn't really do much to explain it - level 1 kicking super sped up, looks much better now and doesn't have that sluggish kfm hitdef-feel to it anymore
any other suggestions to make him a formidable boss is welcome, because i've never really made one before (that shang tsung doesn't count)
oh yeah, considering making conbon as a separate character as an afterthought. thing is, not only will his movelist be completely different, i'll even edit the sprites. they're nes sprites, can't be that hard, right? that decision isn't really set in stone, it's just something i thought about
so there's that. also either me or a certain friend is considering making ranboo, but again that's more of an idea rather than a decision

alright, so here's the deal. both mondu and musashi are pretty much done at this point, minus some essentials (gotta get a certain someone to do the throw and ai for me in both cases since i'm stupid and still can't figure any of that out). out of curiosity which one should i finish first, because i doubt i'm going to be able to finish both at the same time...somehow

i'll try seeing what i can do for mondu at this time tho. sorta leaning over musashi but i don't want to drop mondu completely....rasetujo on the other hand will have to spend more time on the backburner

unimportant news. almost done with musashi to the point where i might as well post a beta version of him here
password is 'musashi'. not very solid but it throws off anybody snooping around my webspace, at least (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/100yearcharacter.rar)
gotten input that the commands could be more appropriate, also forgot to fix some things like the crouching kick having a pretty high getpower count, and some sparkxy's here and there but this essentially is what he'll end up playing as. any other calls to attention that i missed something or suggestions are welcome as always
an unexpected burst of motivation came out of nowhere so i might be able to finish this guy, mondu, and the most self-indulgent character ever soon. i still got a strew of ideas floating around in my head, to the point where my brainstorming went completely wild (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/mainsite/lamm/liveactionmegamix.html) yet again. i highly doubt i'd be able to actually finish it, yet alone even make PROGRESS...

it is intentional, although if memory serves me right it doesn't really look all that great? i dunno, if there's something iffy about it hitting on the ground i could easily remove it
and damn it, i knew i forgot something else! thanks for reminding me, because i'm really bad with remembering that getpower stuff for whatever reason...

Maybe it's just me, but I think it would look iffier if it didn't hit while the opponent is on the ground.

No prob. I appreciate how simple the character is, adds to the fun in my opinion.

yeah. tried to give myself a 'scary' attack, but it just sorta ends up like my face looking like a pixelated mess. i'm actually thinking of recording myself over yet again, as i'm not really fond of the outfit i have here and would much rather go back to the suit look
also gave musashi a throw i coded. targetbinds are horrifically fucked up and it looks dumb. hooray.
oh! regarding him: i tried changing his command to charge down/up rather than charge back/forward and it refuses to work. i can't believe the random things i'm unable to do

welp now that musashi's finished, started assembling a .sff for a mutant DNA character. was going to make giena but seeing cenobite's sprite rips, diba looked way more interesting in comparison
meaning that even though the colors in the .act are themselves jumbled, paletting using the color bars should make it easy enough

it looks good but it isn't indexed correctly. however it shouldn't be difficult for me to transfer the palette correctly myself, so no worries i suppose. thanks!

and yeah that would be cool, little robot guy looks like he has a fun moveset
lastly, thanks for those three palettes, garaliru! first one is awesome and the third one fits him strangely well, i must say

Does Diba really say "Fuck you" at the beginning of the match?
haha, i don't think so at least. that's the 'haa-tchaaaa' voice bit from his dive kick special (aka the move that normally crashes the game). what i want to know is why they decided to make him sound like a little kid, but i guess that works in making him seem really bizarre which i can get behind
well now that i have all the specials (roughly) coded, going to brainstorm some custom supers using my usual '1,1,2,3' super format. i am seriously considering making a sarcastic reference to how the kick move crashes the game, but i'm not entirely sure how

the original makes black scanline-esque bars appear on the screen as the game freezes (with the music still playing), then the window suddenly closes. might have to record it sometime since he is not the only character to make the game crash

so i'm still sorta 'out of it' but i made a few silly blueprints for the ideas i have for his supers
A - air-only super where he rapidly spins into the ground, and then rolls forward. if it makes contact at any point he 'grinds up' the opponent (depicted by an inverted diba there) and launches them away afterward B- dashing punch ending with an uppercut. not very imaginative but w/e C - floats up as a bunch of clones of himself start popping up from the sky
and the level 3 is a secret (not really)
so yeah gonna continue fumbling around with code sometime tomorrow probably

I like all of those ideas, they seem fitting for the character, especially the simplicity of mockup B given the retro nature of the character. And idea A really makes great use of what an expanded Diba moveset would likely venture towards.

thanks man, means a bunch from you seeing how you know your retro stuff (skate is still friggin' amazing)
now that you mention it like that B sorta makes sense in that way...i can see that being a super in a random ms-dos fighter. just fooled around with another one called 'the great fighter' and there's a few...erm...'supers' that are simply really long strings of normal attacks. didn't seem like most of them had the coding experience to do much else lol

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on February 09, 2013, 09:53:54 pm
admittedly not MUCH stuff has been done over this much time... but like i said i'm not getting rid of him. it's just that, on top of my total lack of confidence when it comes to coding, i can't decide on any super ideas. but i am SERIOUSLY going to try to get serious help and progress in finishing this character this weekend, at least. might be a bit looser with balance because, again, he is a final boss
also more super ideas: his loss animation from the original is his armored arm splitting off, so maybe a super where he floats around (being able to be controlled) and keeps repeatedly ripping off his limbs as projectiles? maybe go so far as to freakin rip off 'the thing' and have the limbs crawl on the ground and leap at the opponent? who knows...
and piotobich isn't gonna be worked on until i get my ms-dos fighter kick back. but i do have my sights on something again. that, of course, is secret for now, but ermacwon was an inspiration...

Post by: Blue Monkey on February 10, 2013, 01:24:32 am
that ripping arm super idea sounds quite cool, is there any animation of him sticking a rival with that blade?, i think a grappling supper in which he stick an opponent repeatedly could be nice
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (boss character #2 + accepting palettes)
Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on February 11, 2013, 03:07:50 pm
there is, sorta. all of his heavy punches look like stabs with that giant arm lol. once i have grapples down i'm considering that idea
i went ahead and coded a super last night where he shoots all of his ribs as a bunch of projectiles. there's my 'serious progress' for the weekend
also regarding the limbs super, i did some more really bad sprite edits
these aren't the first sprite edits, i did some with his taunt and his dizzy animation (which looks horrendous but whatever)

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on June 15, 2013, 11:42:46 pm
okay! so due to...yeah...i'm gonna be finishing this up soon. he's probably gonna be a bit half-assed since i'm gonna rush through making the supers and such, might not have AI, etc, but i do have to patch a corner infinite and such. just little things and he should be done, although i probably need loads of feedback for when he comes out. stay tuned cuz i will probably post a beta or something a day before he's released

Now that's good news. I might also help with sprite edits if you like.

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on June 16, 2013, 03:06:37 am
sounds good! i'll contact you if i need anything, which i might (at least for the dizzy animation, it's really awkward looking (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/dibizzy.gif) so far)
then again i STILL am not totally sure what supers i want, but i'll decide on a final list tonight and start wrapping those up tomorrow. if i need ya for those i'll totally send you a PM. thanks much

so glad to finally figure out this throw coding bullshit (well, sorta. most of it was throw creator...), but THAT'S fuckin out of the way
now i just gotta figure out how to disable his anti-air projectile from easily juggling the opponent infinitely. that i still have no idea how to do. unless somebody else can help me with this? it's been bugging me ever since i started making him

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on July 15, 2013, 07:32:57 pm
so nobody will see this, but i've been having problems with his lvl2 clone super. now that i think about it though, is making them hittable really a good idea anyway? he's supposed to be a boss so i think i could let this slide?
Title: Re: Melv's WIP threaddin' (Diba + accepting palettes)
Post by: Roman55 on July 15, 2013, 07:55:31 pm
I would think it's okay to let it slide, considering the number of clones that come out.

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on July 15, 2013, 09:52:39 pm
hahah definitely not, his throwing code is in a separate .cns called 'ifuckinghatethrows.cns'
thanks for the opinions though, will get on that. now's just figuring out this damn air projectile...

daaamn, thanks everyone! it's gonna be tough choosing which 12 are going to be loaded by default. so for now i'm closing off palettes until i make a new character or something. but i'm extremely grateful that people were interested enough to do this much! not entirely used to it lol

OKAY SO
i didn't get to adding all the palettes yet, but i did add a few things and now i feel he's ready to at least upload a beta of him here
as usual, PLEASE lemme know if anything is really odd or should be fixed and stuff like that. HEY.txt has some...um...i guess useful notes if you're wondering about a few things
get him here (http://www.melv.thedailypos.org/Three%20Stooges%20Film.rar)
and yes i didn't add the hitsparks or anything yet. it's still very rough. also check the readme because these commands are going to change

-Do you plan to give him a fowards dash/run and backdash? -Supers are a tad bit sticky to do. Removing the in-betweens (DF, BF, etc.) should fix it. -Consider looking over hitboxes for HK, crouching LP, crouching LK, and jumping LK.

Some feedback:
- dunno, but IMO standing b should OTG or at least hit once grounded p2 - typo - Blender Edge is D, F, y , not D, F, a - Puncture Super should actually puncture/pierce p2

Chaining Hwa Jai into itself using all three of your super stock (as the move is still going) is probably not intentional huh?
(if it is just tell me to shut up)

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on October 14, 2013, 07:23:23 pm
well while i wait for kelexo to finish diba's ai so i can release him
MDISinister, as a lot of you may know, is working on his game Thunder Duelists, and a lot of footage is being revamped. so he handed some old footage of two characters for me to do something with. and i started working on that this weekend
the sprites, anyway.
so basically the character is portrayed by reginald dyson, who you may remember is the face and voice of ghetto warmachine, and here he is Reggie Skatore (basically his real name but his last name replaced with that of the 24-7 Spyz bassist's name). he has a stand called Disco Volante (named after the Mr. Bungle album) which is represented by another scrapped character (formerly known as Count Crackula portrayed by syed jamal, who was the actor who is shown in GWM's 'why bother man' winpose)
this character isn't going to be jojo styled though. more on that later
still seperating all the sprites before i even start with the coding. time will only tell where this goes...

very very VERY early footage. just showing some of the animations and sound effects so far since i'm really satisfied with the hitsounds for some reason
and as you can see gethits aren't done at all. like i said, very very early. but there IS a special move (the spinning attack)

okay so now that i'm back i'm going to start on reggie some more and get all of his essentials out of the way
also i don't have it on hand right now (probably will post it tonight) but a certain requested-to-be-anonymous color separator worked his magic on diba. so i suppose the two .sffs will be supplied for people who don't want to update their past palettes. look out for that later tonight as i'll be posting a template
edit: ah hell i hope he doesn't mind me just posting it here
(http://www.justnopoint.com/atp323/diba.png)
as a preview. will be more indepth with the template later on

also just to be clear, the .sff will be included in a seperate patch when i update diba with several fixes (he needs...quite a few)
lastly i started ripping reggie's 'stand' last night, and i got one gif so far

Post by: First Lt. Ding on December 13, 2014, 03:13:58 pm
Tested him. He's pretty alright so far, sans some things. -He can combo his cr.HK with another cr.HK. The ticks after the initial hit should be a bit slower. -Heavy ver. of Bye Bye Bye's hits don't connect all the way. An attack that dashes forwards shouldn't push him back. -Some of his commands are kinda tricky to pull off. I myself fixed this issue and are willing to give you the .cmd if you want it.

Post by: 【RTC】MelvanaInChains on December 13, 2014, 05:04:42 pm
- gotcha - y'know i didn't realize it actually pushes him back, that's...eesh. noted - the funny thing is i was having a lot of trouble with his charge-up motion. i'm curious to see your fix, so by all means throw that .cmd my way
thanx!

sounds good, feel free to send wherever
also got feedback regarding the knife super, startup might be a sliiiight bit too much? either way over the weekend i'm gonna try to fix these issues and add heavy variants to all the supers / add 'crash today' along with a bunch of intro/win stuff, then upload that version of the beta to see if there's anything i missed
i still have the command basic and the dodge to put in, too...sheesh...

no problem. also terribly sorry for the delay (finals week hork hork), will probably resume work on him as soon as i can around the weekend
oh yeah. was also considering giving him a zetsumei ougi of sorts; not working in a traditional samurai shodown sense but more along the lines of 'won a round, has 3 stocks of super, and opponent is down to at least 20% health'. i don't really know what i'd do for it, though, i just want to try doing something like that at least once
s'about it, though. be on the look out in the meantime i guess
and i should say a certain 'toaster' fellow is doing his own spin on deke cay, since an unusually large amount of people were waiting for me to complete him which...yea that wasn't gonna happen. probably going to have a minute amount of input in that project. so also be on the look out for that (surprise he also has a stand, and you'll probably never guess who it is, although you'll probably be like 'oh, of course.' when you find out)

That's kinda the standard for doing that in MUGEN because being 100% accurate with it would require the inter-character compatibility because of how the meditation meter plays into it.

anyhoo the first post has been slightly updated. as for reggie, of course i didn't work on him, but i'm gonna see what i can get done today. i actually did implement a couple heavy versions of some attacks....'miracle of sound in motion' is proving to be a very annoying move to code
