Hey guys, I'm working on Slashback for my Character!

Authentic AC Screenshot of a Slashback, input is 4+S+H or 1+S+H, timing is the same as Perfect Guard, it's like a Parry only costs 5% Tension and you can't block if you miss the timing, it builds Tension pulse if it lands though and has pushback like normal guard.

Here's my Slashback Ring in Photoshop:

Now...how do I make this effect look 3D? ???

I changed this topic's title to better suit my needs on this forum.

Well, I thank you guys for helping me with my Palette, here's part of the results:

About the stance: I hope to make it so that the "Greed Sever Glow" trails on the sword along with a few electric effects similar to the stance I have him in (like with A.B.A.'s eye for Paracelsus, or Custom Combo/Super Jump Trails), does this mean I need to add these sprites for each frame or do I just need a good sequence and can change sprite effect angles?

Right now I'm still trying to find Sprites for Slashback, the Forcebreak and Overdrive Atomic Flashrings from Accent Core, and also Ky's Forcebreak Sprites for Lightning Sphere and the Charge Drive finisher. (I've also borrowed a few sprites from A.B.A., Setsuna, and Date Masamune, but I'm still missing stuff).

I have a few more questions relating to this process...

--What you do next after adding sprites to an .sff file? What's the next phase?
--Why do I get the Error "Can't Locate this Sprite" whenever I add a sprite to Fighter Factory (.bmp format)...
--Do I need a separate palette for Lightning Sprites or Hit Sparks for that matter?

If there's anything else I'm missing please help!

Hey again, 'tis me. I found a website that is a dedicated GGXXSlash Sprite resource:

http://justnopoint.com/ggslash/

Does anyone know who runs it and who ripped those sprites and how it was done? If the method is the same for Slash as it is for Accent Core, I would like to know the method and use sprites and sprite effects for myself.

The sprites I need:

The Lightning Trail effect from Ky Kiske's New Forward+HeavySlash (6H) attack.

Ky's "Stun Raise" (Jump qcb+Dust) Forcebreak Orb Effect.

Ky's "Lightning Sphere" (qcf+D,qcb+D) Effect set (Includes the Blue spinning Orb) an atomic Lightning effect inside that splits into...

Ky's "Charge Drive" (from Lightning Sphere, b,f+D) Effect Set (the second half of his Forcebreak)

In addition to this, I've contacted the person who was designing Robo-Ky MK III and asked him how sprites were ripped for AC+ and he says it's a program called D-Pixed...is anyone familiar with this?

To Mods: I know this should go in Resources, but this request is for Information, not entirely for the sprites themselves, more like how they were ripped. If that's a problem please move this thread.

Re: Having Palette Troubles (and other n00b problems)...

September 14, 2008, 03:39:34 am View in topic context

I think I learned a thing or two about palettes that may be useful to others. It turns out that when Photoshop generates palettes and applies them, whenever Fighter Factory "reads" them, the color index Flips upside-down. But that only happens when it reads the .act files. When it reads the bmp/pcx files in the palette editor, they read properly.

I decided to create "two" different kinds of palettes, one that's associated with the images themselves (created and applied in Photoshop), and one that's to help Fighter Factory/Mugen itself read it (a Mugen Palette). It's essentially the same palette, just rearranged differently to accomodate FF.

YAY! I FIGURED OUT MY PROBLEMS!! And this may help anyone else who is struggling making palettes for the first time too.

Aside from Fighter Factory "flipping" the Palette, Photoshop has the unique ability of switching display modes and "reassociating" Palette color Indexes!

Basically, let's say Your character's sprite color for their hair is shown as "in the middle" of the index, and you want to "move" the color to the top of the index.

Here's how you "fix" palette scrambles in Photoshop:

Let's say the sprites you opened have palettes already associated with them in "Index" Mode. What you want to do is switch to RGB Mode.

Then, switch Back to Index Mode and Pick "Custom" Palette and rebuild your palette starting with Background Color 0, and how you want the colors to be organized. Save the Palette as .act.

By switching away from "Index" to RGB Mode and back to Index "Custom" and loading a palette, Photoshop "reassociates" the colors from the palette you loaded down to the nearest number/color range. While in some cases this can force some colors to fade or get removed in other pictures, it "fixes" scrambled palettes and reassociates the Palette index with it's corresponding color on the bitmap. That means that the color's location doesn't matter so much as the association of the color (as long as it's not the same color in a palette) in relationship to being on the bitmap. In some cases it may seem like colors "disappear" or "merge together" if you're not careful with how closely related colors are...but this fixed my problem, and can probably fix a ton of other people's problems too!

They might seem hi-rez, but if you ask me they're nowhere near the quality I've seen for games like CVS2, even if those sprites are smaller by comparison. Maybe it's a personal bias. At the very least I'd like to try doing my own lightning sprites (for other effects) and learn how to do it here...

These are the Lightning effects I was talking about (borrowed a bit from Ky and Justice):

Of course, I've also used Benimaru's Lightning Effects on occasion as well. They tend to look a lot nicer on black background, but still in some cases the effect is fuzzy, like Greed Sever.

I'd prefer if you guys not argue about this, I just want something useful that synchronizes palettes and applies them.

About pal2act, where could I get this, since I can't seem to find it in the resources thread...also I'm confused as to what is defined as "Color Zero" in Photoshop's palette maker.

Well, I tried using GIMP and it seems they no longer let you save Palette .act files.

I switched over to photoshop, but I'm as lost as ever on how to organize the colors properly.

Then I went back to Fighter Factory to try working on creating palettes again and I'm still quite stuck. Here's my problem:

As you can see, I have a lot of sprites that already share one palette, and a few sprites that share another palette altogether...

How to I make it so that they all synch up? Do I have to do this manually through Photoshop or something?

I know how to open up and image, Optimize it, transfer the colors, move the background color to the lower right and then save the palette and apply it to the files (which converts them to PCX I guess).

But like I said, these colors are messed up and all over the place, and hard to organize to synch up because whenever I open a new one up and try to apply the palette I just saved, the colors get scrambled.

In addition to this, I have no idea how to make it so that the program identifies the background color as transparent for some bmp files, how do you do that?
