Title: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Chatman on April 09, 2011, 02:48:10 am
Hey guys, its me, Chatman.

As you all know, we're still at a stage in the project where we're coming up with how we want certain things to look.
So, i've opened up this poll for you guys to vote on two rough lifebar ideas, one by me, and one by firelord. Here they are:

(http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee394/chatalex94/firelordbar.png)
Option 1(current)

(http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee394/chatalex94/lifebaridea-1.png)
Option 2
Note: Made in paint. This one hasn't been implemented or finished, also, final bars would be thinner.

Feel free to voice any comments you have on both of them.  :)

first best

Honestly... neither imo .

The one on top , Firelord's , is kind of dark to see the health . It may strain a few eyes out there , and it won't be in the player's vision if it's that hard to see . All it needs to have is a lighter lifebar . Maybe some more adjustments here and there but that's my only gripe .

As for the bottom one , it just doesn't match with MK VS SF style imo .

I say use the second bars, but convert them to the style of the first. Make the health meter a bit brighter so people can see it and you're good to go.

Well, here mix of both and more resolution

Looks better, but I'm not sure if the end should be black or that dark, considering we have quite a few dark stages.

How would you handle the MK portraits? As you know, none of them were in NxC.

for me looks good but not the best, the best would make the same style....
Title: Re: Lifebar - Ideas and Feedback
Post by: -Red- on June 11, 2011, 07:08:00 am
then the same should be done on character sprites.

We're not that interested in going through all the hassle of reshading all the mk characters, who aren't even animated or proportioned like the sf characters to begin with.

what about that?... i think the portraits are unnecessary :-X

Portraits is so not needed. Looking great, although I think the blue could be a bit darker (just my opinion.)

Keep up the good work. :)

I like, assuming the middle is filled and the bars are a bit longer. Sweet work as always firelord!  :)

No portraits like in old MKs is great idea, less work.

Well, i tired of make new lifebars but finally i make something better than all (i think)
(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/6526/mugen000e.png)
Now have more MK colors and the powerbar is more beautiful like the other thing xd

feedback?

I think these are way better but, you might want to shorten the bars some. So they want be so close in the center, other then that looking very MK like to me.
Title: Re: Lifebar - Ideas and Feedback
Post by: Lith on July 17, 2011, 10:53:42 am
Those other bars worked better, anyway it seems like you're having the worse luck with bars, you can't really find anything that works :(
Title: Re: Lifebar - Ideas and Feedback
Post by: O Ilusionista on July 17, 2011, 02:40:34 pm
I think you should put the powerbars on the bottom part of the lifebars, because chars with long names (shang tsung for example) could make their names too close with the power bars, but I like it

Should the lifebars be that dark? Adding transparency isn't a good idea right.

I agree. They looks empty. You can add a dark red to make the life

well, i was thinking in our lifebar, now i think looks really ugly, I think it should be more exaggerated and I really want to change it...

i was seeing this:
(http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9494/mugen000h.png)

its more like a crossover game.. especially since he has power bars below

In SF3(it's not a crossover but it's only an Idea):
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

In MVC:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty

In CVS2:
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty


I really want help with this!, if some one can help me would be excellent....

I can do something to combine each of those styles, and a bit more. Just give me a bit of time to draw something up.  :)
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: [ƒıЯ£-ŁØřĐ] on July 17, 2012, 07:13:19 am
mmh I don't want combine those styles, but only ideas, I put that screenshots about those lifebars because i thinks they are really exagerated and  I was thinking make something "Exagerated" for the game.

What do you think??... Ideas? Feedback?
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Chatman on July 19, 2012, 11:55:24 am
I like it. I like it a lot actually.  :)

The only thing i would suggest is maybe give the bars a bit of that thin metal trim from the other bars in order to give them a slightly more solid presence.

Nicely done.  :)
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Lith on November 16, 2012, 07:53:16 am
Clean and simple. Go for it.

Also try to make the fonts resemble the ones in MK3.
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Paraside on November 23, 2012, 01:53:27 am
Maybe a green-ish color, instead of gay pink purple
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Chatman on November 23, 2012, 06:11:51 am
I chose that color. Whatre you trying to say pal?  >_<

Just kidding. I don't know how much you can do with a green gradient though.
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: Paraside on November 25, 2012, 05:16:11 am
yep like green turning blue or something like that.... and, maybe a little thin metallic border?
Title: Re: [LIFEBAR] (Ideas and Feedback)
Post by: PWNERX on August 21, 2013, 11:21:32 pm
Take the MK3 Health Bars, give them a metallic border, and take the MVC2 Super bars and combine them onto the MK3 Health Bars. Green-Blue-Red, and Electric Blue for the super bars.

Very clunky for fighting game lifebars. Perhaps I can help.
