* Debug Menu
Was already available but was bugged so I didn't mention it before but, now its working fine. Press the 'F1' key to open/close it.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_DebugMenu_zps0f3f3bc2.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/DebugMenu_zps0f3f3bc2.png.html)
- Changing Folders - can now move items to different folders by using the Up/Down Arrow Keys.
- New Sound Functions.
- Added Special Effect Positioning marker so you know where your placing a SE when using the 'Play Special Effect' function.

Previously, Cinematics and SEs would end after running through all of the events. Now you have control over when they end, allowing you to create Cinematics that may require user input to continue or SEs, like blood, that remains on parts of the stage the entire match, and more.
FIXES
* Collision Detection not working properly when players flip sides.
* Color Sets not being applied to sprites.
* Player Flipping issues.
* On Screen function Y Axis issue.

Nice

Sounds interesting, did someone test it already?^^
-
Now testing...
My CPU is too slow. :(
-
The idea is great, but:
You must enter all external dll dependence:
- d3dx9_31.dll
- d3dx9_35.dll
- d3dx9_43.dll
- msvcp71.dll
- msvcr71.dll
- xinput1_3.dll
Personally I do not like the Metro interface
and you should to add Demo files (characters, stages, scripts, etc.) to understand how it works! :D
The name of your Engine remember me my iFight Creator :P
-
Looks like a M.U.G.E.N. clone to me.

How do you edit a chars gameplay system (cvs, cvtw) if theres no coding required?
-
Sorry for the late reply but, you use the Character Move editor to setup gameplay.
Start by creating a new move.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/MoveEditor0_zps8b1aa984.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/MoveEditor0_zps8b1aa984.png.html)
* Move Priority - Moves with a low priority will be canceled out by moves with a higher piority.
* Move Mode - Automatic mode tells the engine to always process this move, Manual mode gives the user control over when the move is processed. ( Use the "Go To Script" or the "Reaction" function to access moves set to manual mode )
Once you've created a move, you now have to add functionality to that move by using functions.

Animating a character.
If you want to setup a basic standing animation for a character :
1) Import the media you need for this animation in the Media Window.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/MediaMenu_zps1b1f0acd.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/MediaMenu_zps1b1f0acd.png.html)
2) Use a series of "Set Image" functions, in the "Entities" folder, to setup the animation.
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/SetImageFunction_zps181e81bc.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/SetImageFunction_zps181e81bc.png.html) (http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/SetImagePreview_zps77e4da54.png) (http://s1075.photobucket.com/user/CSGames/media/SetImagePreview_zps77e4da54.png.html)
That was just a very basic example of how the system works but, you will be able to setup almost any type of gameplay mechanic you want by using a combination of different functions and variables.
-
Hm, looks interesting. Will have to try this out at some point. :)
-
Trying to get another demo up later today, hoping it works a lot better than the previous version.
-
not bad. ima try this out. thanx for the share
-
Looks interesting, nowadays so many fighting games that can be created by our own 8)

@CSGames
I have some questions.
I see you plan to release your Software on steam, what will the final version cost?
Will the Fighter Creator support chars that a able to transform, like Kaede from Last Blade or Boss Chars who fight in the first round in there "normal" form and change into there "true" form in the final round?
-
lmao

There is going to be a non-commercial and commercial edition of Fighter Creator. The non-commercial edition will cost 10$, and the commercial edition will cost 20$
Yes, you can create characters that can transform.

Thats Nice. :2thumbsup:
There is going to be a non-commercial and commercial edition of Fighter Creator. The non-commercial edition will cost 10$, and the commercial edition will cost 20$
Will the comercial editon have any special features that will not be present in the non-commercial edition?
Btw. I suggest that you get someone who creates sprites for you, if you realy plan to sell your software on steam.
Using Screenshots of licensed Stages and Chars is realy problematic on steam, the game 7 days to die was removed for just using licensed material accidentally for some time too.
And it would good for beginners if your software has a Original Char/Stage/Screenpack, so they would have something to learn from and play a little around before they beginn to create there own stuff with it.
-
Sorry for the long delay, found a couple of issues with FC while testing it out, but the demo should be ready to go no later than tomorrow. Just have to finish the help system.

No, the commercial edition won't have any special features, except for better project protection when distributing your games.
Yeah, I removed all of those things.
And I will definitely include resources for people to use along with a extensive help system.

Sorry again for the delay, its been taking me a lot longer to finish the help system than I thought it would so, I'm going to just post the demo and explain the basics of how Fighter Creator works here :
Demo Download | https://www.mediafire.com/?ffs067q8k1x50sv (https://www.mediafire.com/?ffs067q8k1x50sv)
Fighter Creator Basic Creation Process -
User Interface
* App Bar | in addition to clicking the buttons on the app bar, you can also use the number keys (not the numpad yet) to press those buttons too. e.g. If there are four buttons on the app bar, you can press the '1' key to press the first button, the '2' key to press the second button, and so on.
* Text Boxes | you don't have to press the enter key to confirm text input.
* Number Boxes | you can also use the mouse wheel to increment/decrement the value when the box is not highlighted.
Project Management
* Project Settings Button | located on the 'Information' panel at the bottom-right corner, allows you to edit important project settings.
- Game Resolution | sets the resolution your game is designed to run on so the engine will know how to properly scale your game to other display resolutions. e.g. If your character and stage sprites are designed for a 720p resolution then you should set the game resolution to 720p.
- Project Lock | prevents this project from being loaded into other Fighter Creator editors.
Event/Move Window
Is where you add functionality to a resource. So if your creating a title screen menu, you will first have to design the title screen in the 'Editor Window'. After you finish designing it, you can then create events to control those elements you've created to allow users to navigate through your menu.
Game Management
* Game Settings Window | is where controllers and controller buttons, reactions, and character attributes are created, and also where you set the total amount of supported players.
- Button Mirroring | when characters switch sides, buttons that have this enabled swap with the buttons you've set to use for mirroring. e.g. If you created a button to move the player left and set the mirror key to a button that moves the player right, when this player ends up on the right side, the button to move the player left will become the button to move the player right.
- Reactions | are special events that are created here and are defined in the 'Event Window' of each resource you want them to be usable in. Reactions can be used to play a specific animation when a character is hit by an attack or if a trap is triggered in a stage.
* Global Access | media, data, and events created in the 'Game Window' can be used in all the other resources ( menus, stages, characters, etc. )
* Start/End Events | these are another set of special events that are used to initialize and clear data. The 'Start' event runs once when your game application is ran, and can be used to display your logo, intro, or a title screen. The 'End' event runs after you use the 'Exit' function, and can be used to display things like credits or anything else you may want before your game application closes.
Gamemodes
Are used to start, reset, and end gameplay.
* Start/End events | gamemodes also have these events and they basically function the same except, the 'Start' event runs when you use the 'Start Gamemode' function and the 'End' event runs when you use the 'End Gamemode' function.
Note : Created projects/resources and built games are saved in your documents folder.

If you need any help with the demo just let me know.

@CSGames
Can you make a quick video tutorial on how to make a character if you have time?
Im really interested in this!
-
Yeah I can do that, just let me know how much of the character creation process you want to see.
-

make something basic like standing hits, projectile, standing animation.
-
Alright.
-
Hmm... This looks like Fighter Factory except without codings. Looks Awesome! I'll try it out.
-
(http://i.imgur.com/RnMcdW3.png)
I'm getting this whenever I'm trying to create a new character or resource or anything really.
-
A list of other downloads would be cool if you're an XP user, this looks absolutely amazing by the way, it might be the tool I need to push me to where I want to be with coding etc., thank you so much for this!
-
These "hazard" things seem interesting new options for stages :)
-
Does this support 4player controller support. I would be in for that
-
I have an error message
(http://mugenshare.com/uploads/9bd1ef6cbaunbenannt.png)
what should I do?
MFG,
Craver
-
download the .dll the file.
-
Afaik this DLL is a part of Windows and should not be missing anyway. ö.ö
-
it is not so, have downloaded this file...
http://www.chip.de/downloads/msvcr71.dll_63181035.html
MFG,
Craver
-
it's a visula studio and/or .net thing. AS GBK said just google the dll to know which update to install in windows.
-
Mhhh Is his greenlight page region blocked or something like that?
I can reach it over the link in his Signature, but I'm not able to find it over my Steam software in any section of greenlight.

Here is a quick look at the Fighter Creator Reference Manual [PDF] :
(http://i1075.photobucket.com/albums/w436/CSGames/th_manualpic_zps254beb99.png) (https://www.mediafire.com/?cfc6od8r3e5qcod)
Been fixing a ton of bugs and patching up a ton of design flaws in preparation for a release by the end of this week. A final demo for Fighter Creator will be up later today, and I will be posting a couple of video tutorials tomorrow to help you get started.
I've also been adding plenty of new features and revising some older ones :
Image modification effects now run in real-time and can be adjusted on the fly using Events/Moves -

Fighter Creator Final Demo Download : https://www.mediafire.com/?m4i160cmocitu6q (https://www.mediafire.com/?m4i160cmocitu6q)
In addition to fixes a lot of issues with the program, I've also added :
- Support for 4 active players instead of just 2.
- Support for 2 stage player layers and allowing players to jump to either layer.
- Camera controls [ zooming and positioning ]
- Sprite Texture Coordinate modification, great for setting up parallax scrolling on floors.
- Screen Effects, real-time adjustments for Color Grading and Bloom effects.
- Load Information, useful for creating loading screens.
Note : If you are having problems with this demo, try deleting the Fighter Creator folder in your documents folder.

Delete the Fighter Creator folder in your Documents folder.
-
Thx it worked :D are there maby starting templates for people who are learning how to use this? that would be really awsome so people will understand it faster
-
Do you have a real name for this? What about Fighters-Infinte or Ultimate Combat or something?
-

Yeah, I'm working on releasing some tutorial videos and the resources in the tutorials for you guys to use.
Do you have a real name for this? What about Fighters-Infinte or Ultimate Combat or something?
No, Fighter Creator was all I could come up with lol.
-
What is the - in your opinion - biggest feature of Fighter Creator and what are some of the biggest differences to Mugen?
-
Fighter Creator offers a high level of flexibility and control without being overly complicated. When being compared to Mugen :
- The game creation process is done completely through an editor.
- You can create your own menus and gamemodes.
- You can setup your own button layouts.
- Game data can be saved, allowing you to add unlockable characters to your games.
- Access to real time image effects allow you to completely alter the look of your games whenever you want.
- You can use sprites that are at whatever resolution your computer supports.
- Support for tag teams.
- Full control over resource loading.
- You can sell whatever you create with Fighter Creator.
-
Can you maby please release some of your characters stages etc you already made? a lot of people need templates becus its really difficult for the most of us to start from scratch a tutorial is also good :)
-
I expect a community behind this. This may give M.U.G.E.N. some stiff competition.
-
Can you maby please release some of your characters stages etc you already made? a lot of people need templates becus its really difficult for the most of us to start from scratch a tutorial is also good :)
Yeah, I'm working on that now.

Yeah, I'm working on that now.
Do you know when the tutorials/templates will be released?
-
Temporary site for Fighter Creator (http://fightercreator.webs.com/), get the latest version at the bottom.
@Carnage, Don't have an exact date, but they should be out later this week or sometime next week. I current;y have someone working on a template for characters and I'm going to be providing resources for menus and stages.
-
Please post a video of this in action, gameplay or creating it dont matter.
I know i asked already about a month or so ago.
-
Yeah I know, I ran into a couple of problems with the engine while working on those demos, but I think I finally have Fighter Creator working the way I want it to work and so I will try to get them out by either tomorrow or Friday.
List of videos I will be working on :
Title Screen
Character/Stage Selection Screen
Game HUD
Two Characters - With Basic Moves
Versus Gamemode
Two Stages

I have some Suggestion for this
"
"Staff roll"
"Ranking screen"
"story mode" and "Character unlocker when beating a game with a certain character
'
-
There could be a music thing like in Third Strike where the music remixes, or how most of the stages in TS were affected when someone hit the ground.
-
@The Abstract, you can already do things like that lol.
@Yotoaemon, you can only control volume and panning of audio but, you can use multiple sound files to give you the same effect.

Here is the final version of Fighter Creator :

[ You will need to replace the Editor app with the one in the download in order to open the project files ]
-
Wow! I hope someone who uses this appreciates the effort you put into this. If used properly, it may knock M.U.G.E.N. out of the park.

Getting ready to release Fighter Creator.
Here is a quick video showing off dynamic day to night shifting using Color Grading. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-hi5C7R-5k&feature=youtu.be)
Still working on some more tutorials.
-
Pretty cool! Can you influence how shadows work like in real time? Like change their scaling and how opaque they are while changing from day to night?
-
Yes, shadows are left to the user to add, so you can do whatever you want to them.
-
Fighter Creator is now available, get it here. (http://fightercreator.webs.com/)
-
Looks great.
Can you loop audio files at certain points (like in Street Fighter) so that it goes on continuously rather than stopping and playing again?
-
No, you can only loop from beginning to end.
-
Thank you soooo much, impressively useful tool, have no words.
-
Your welcome!
I'm still working on some templates to get you guys going, just been a bit busy.
I have a lot of things planned for Fighter Creator like online multiplayer support, 3D and 2.5D support, PhysX, Box2D, 2D Skeletal Animation system, and more but, it all depends on how much support I get,
-
CSGames, pls show any video of vs battle. I want to see how it works. If it will be good I'll buy this programm
-
Cool. It's been released. Do you mind if I link this in other forums?
-
@Nolemociy, I'm going to. I just need time to fully work on it, still adding things to Fighter Creator.
@SageHarpuiaJDJ, No, you can link Fighter Creator to other forums.
-
Can u import chars and stages that were made for mugen into this?
-
No, it would be impossible because Fighter Creator has a completely different design.
-
But u can use all the sprites and art by simply unpacking them and then loading them into fighter creator right?
-
Yeah.
-
Why doesn't this have it's own section under Beyond Mugen? Let's help this grow!
-
Man if this works out I'm gonna switch to Fighter Creator to make my gory Sam Sho game. I'll have to remake all my stages and the entire screenpack but it'll be well worth it. The character creation looks way to easy to pass on.
Is it possible to make Sam Sho style fatalities with Fighter Creator?
-

I tihnk if you get the thing on steam, the support for it will grow drastically, but you have to be a little more professional as before.
And you still need your own stage and char for the presentation on steam, they could remove it because of copyright etc.

I agree with your post. I want to see this green lit on Steam so that the creator can get more support for his project. He does need to have a better maintained website, however.
I also think it would be a good idea to take requests for features. A lot of people had/have requests for the current Mugen engine but they rarely (if ever) implement them. A service to the customer/user base would definitely garner him more support.
-
@vgames, Yes.
@Lichtbringer, Yeah, I still need to find someone to help me with that, just haven't really had the time to look.
@cheers05, The current website is just a temporary place for Fighter Creator, I definitely want to put together something a lot better.
But you guys can request any features you'd like to see in Fighter Creator and I will see if I can add them in or not.
-
I would like to see velocity working more like in mugen. From what I've seen in FC, you pretty much set a constant velocity for jumps (And then swap it for a downwards velocity for when you're falling) and the gravity command is just a way to drag everything downwards, even past the floor level.
I don't really have to time to try out the program more but I would like to know more about how it works nowadays because that's pretty much an important point for me if I ever more my game to this engine.
About suggestions, I would really like to be able to use layered music, where I can trigger different songs depending of what happens, and maybe even trigger multiple songs at the same time and individually control the volume of them to create a dynamic soundtrack, like in SFIV.
-
I cant run it on my PC lol. I see FIGHTER CREATOR in a window and when it goes fullscreen it freezes. Windows 7 x64, processor with 4 cores, video card 1 Gb
-
I want the ability to have particle FX and objects like gibs or blood splats that land on the floor to be able to be spawned by any character. Like a set of global effects that can be called on by any character at any time.
that way all characters can have the same effects for hits or blocks without having to implement them for each character individually.
-
would it possible to after you create a stage, screen menu or fighter would you be able to put it into mugen?
-
They use totally different file types. It can't import or export to/from mugen. That would take a complete rewrite of his program.
-
@Red, That was just a simple system I setup for demonstration purposes. If you want that to work like the way it does in Mugen, then you will have to set it up to work that way. Later today I'm going to post an update for Fighter Creator along with a character template showing you how to achieve something similar to what you are looking for.
I will start to explain how Fighter Creator works when I get the time to do it.
You can use multiple sounds at the same time whenever you want and control how loud they are.
@Nolemociy, Are you running the launcher as an administrator?
@vgames, You can do this by using special effects, I just have to update it to allow you to play multiple iterations of the same effect.
-
@CSGames yeah. I'm always doing that
-
I keep getting crashes when trying to save projects or when I try to import images when I'm working on a resource but not when I'm in an actual project.
-
Ok so I guess u can't save anything because its a demo right? Also can u upscale images after u imported them? Can u just set up your project to upscale everything when u preview the game or run the game? Because I'd hate to have to import one pic at a time just to upscale them. I'd like to be able to import an entire folder of pics and then upscale them. Or just let the game upscale everything when I play it.

Vote for this on STEAM! Click on his banner in his sig to go there.
Request: I asked about the music loop and you said that it wasn't in your engine. Do you have plans to allow the user to loop certain sections of the music? Basically, have an audio file that starts from the beginning and allow the user to loop a certain section of it so that the song never ends. Might not be on your list of important things to do but that is something that mugen has always lacked.
-
Maybe I have a solution for the problem with the looping, as far as I know it is possible to add loop points to Ogg Vorbis files with the right program, I don't know if Fighter Creater supports ogg files right now, but if you add a support for ogg files with loop points it could solve this problem, unless someone has a better solution.

Mugen can do music looping nowadays. Both 1.0 and 1.1.
-
Thanks guys didn't know this was even implemented. Just tried it for two stages.
Hopefully Fighter Creator can follow suit!

Changes/Additions :
* Fixed a couple of errors with some functions.
* Added support for importing/exporting templates for resources. ( Settings Menu )
* Added support for duplicating frames.
For demo version users.
-
@Nolemociy, Okay try deleting the Fighter Creator folder in your documents folder.
@vgames, It was just a bug with saving resources, will re-release update 1.2 with this working.
Images currently can only be upscaled when you are importing them, and you can import and upscale an entire folder of images.

This will be coming in the next update, very soon.
-
That's great to hear. But I was never even asked whether or not I wanted to upscale the pics in a folder I wanted to import. And after they were imported I was never allowed to select the upscale option when I went to edit the pics. I was only allowed to select the upscale option when I imported a pic one at a time.
-
You have the change the import mode before you press the 'Import Images' button. It defaults on normal mode :
Normal Mode - Imports images without upscaling or transparency.
Stage Mode - Imports images with upscaling, no transparency.
Character Mode - Imports images with upscaling and transparency.
HD Sprite - Imports image without upscaling, but with transparency.

thanks for clearing that up. I should have read up on it more.
why transparency on character mode?
-
Because if your sprites have background colors, they will show up in your game, so using transparency will take the first pixel of the image and make that the transparency color.
-
Would it be possible to at some point make any color (and more than 1) a transparency color? That would be really useful for alternate costumes.
-
Oh ok I got ya now. Thanks.
-
@Just No Point, I can add that in. Will be included in the next update.
-
To clarify something it should be palette able. In this manner one could even make long hair Ken and short hair Ken via palette by color separating his hair in a way that anything hanging off him could be made invisible via palette.
I'm just now really learning the coding for MUGEN which is why I haven't had time to take this program on a test run. I should take a day and see how much quicker or longer it'd take to get the same results in FC.
I'm really interested in where this program is going!
Just had a thought. If its already a feature ignore me. One of the biggest hurdles to most creators seems to be the sff. That's the file that contains the sprites and sprite order. I presume FC has something similar and that sprites are grouped in it via numbers? Would it be possible to have an import option that could auto group sprites based on a naming template?
In FIghter Factory you can export sprites from the sff and they'll be named "name 000-000" A system to auto group on import based on that could speed up the creation process immensely. And to import by subfolders and create generic groups from each folder.
If you need better examples on what I'm saying I can give some images to show what I mean better.

@CSGames
It's impressive how many updates you did in this short time. :shocked2:
If you find the time, could you Edit your first post? It would be nice if you at least add the infos about important features that you changed or added, and maybe the little tutorial vids you created, so beginners could find them at the first view and don't have to search the whole topic for it.^^
-
Once u buy a copy of this does the program auto update or do u have to install the latest patch manually?
-
Working on a massive update that should be ready to go by Monday.
@Just No Point, Yes, I'm going to incorporate the additional transparency effects into palettes.
And FC groups media by folders in abc order. So if you import a folder filled with sprites on your desktop named "standing", FC will create a folder with the same name and place all the sprites in that folder in alphabetical order.
@Lichtbringer, Yeah, I always forget to update the OP with new information, will do that for the next update.
@vgames, Currently, no. But later when I implement the FC Online section on the Start screen, updates will be installed automatically.
-
Heya csgames, bet you oversaw this http://mugenguild.com/forum/topics/fighter-creator-engine-sub-forum-159525.0.html
-
I'm requesting for tutorial - how to make standing animation? =)) ty
-
@GBK, Thanks.
@Nolemociy, Here's a basic tutorial on setting that up. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_wqx7-Fai0)
Update 2.0 is ready for download on the OP. (http://mugenguild.com/forum/msg.1875354)
-
will you do a tutorial on everything character based from standing animation to moves?
-
Yes, right now someone is working on a template to help with this.
-
Just fixed some issues with Special Effects in Update 2.0, updated the download link to include them.
-
Thanks for implementing the sound loop.
Waiting for tutorials so I can make the move over to your engine.
Great work so far!
How far till you start doing the netcode for online play? Long time from now?
-
Don't really know yet, but it won't take a long time to get here.
-
I think I'm gonna wait to buy a copy of this until you get the program online. I'd really like for it to update itself if I'm gonna pay for it. How long do you think that'll take?
-
Not sure when that will be available yet either, just haven't had the time to get to these things yet.
-
That's understandable. I'll be waiting for sure.
-
Next update will add image adjustment settings :
Upscaled normally with no adjustments
