IMO it would look great if you were to combine both the artwok and stage BG concept, wherein the art would, for example, flash in the screen, then transition into its stage counterpart.The screenpack is looking great so far. Good luck!
HUNGRY WOLF said, January 15, 2017, 07:01:35 pmThe edit for sure. My only grip is how it's just empty black bg behind the characters. Other than that good shit bro. Thanks Wolf. I have to agree with you, but I can't do much about it unfortunately. I tried replacing it with the selected character's stage at one point, but it didn't look good.

Good luck!Thanks Markpachi. That sounds like a cool idea, but the problem is that I'm going to show off stages from other games besides CVS, so most will probably not have their own artwork like the one I showed before. Also, sometimes the artwork isn't the right size or looks odd when placed in that diamond shape. Hephaistos31 said, January 15, 2017, 07:09:51 pmEdit here too. Do you plan to release a version with more slots? Oh, and your lifebars are awesome!!Thanks Hephaistos. Yep, I plan to make a version that doesn't require custom portraits and has more slots.I think I'm just about done with this screen. Below are two different small port versions. I like both, but I'll most likely end up using the former.
The layout is finalized in Mugen. Only thing missing is the cursors and team menu. Does anyone have suggestions on the team menu icons? I was thinking of using graphics similar to the one used in the menu.Also, I'll gladly take any title ideas for this screenpack. As some of you may know, I'm not the best at coming up with them.Update video soon...
Title Ideas (all color schemed, by the way):- Crimson Revolution- Cardinal Sin- Ruby Rumble- Scarlet Tide
- Crimson Screenpack- Burning Inner Strength- Crimson King Of Fighters- Rose- Dos Chicos Luchando Sobre Fondo RojoAs for now this is my favorite screenpack and can't wait for release
Across The BorderScarlet MegamixVermilion MillionVer-Million: Fighter's HistoryFuture of FightAlso maybe something like this?Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
Man, this screenpack looks great for now.But I don't get it: what will happen, if, for example, CapCom will be chosen FIRST? His name's too long for P1-P2 name windows.==============================P.S.: Red Spectra?
Thanks guys for all the name suggestions! I didn't even think about having the title based on the color red lol. I'm liking the words scarlet, rose, crimson, vermilion, and cardinal the most so far. Regardless, I'm taking note of all the suggestions you guys gave.

I think your diamond shape icon idea works better than what I originally had, which is the 2nd image. I might make the diamond shapes a little bit bigger.

I noticed it too, but If I make each side long enough to fit his name, it will most likely force me to change the design of the slots and other things, and I'm liking how it looks so far. Personally, I usually use "Commando" or "C.Commando" instead since it's much shorter. They fit perfectly fine at least.
Spectra said, January 20, 2017, 09:59:10 amDo you think I should keep those bars by the way? Well you could try to remove them but it may be hard to read the text with that background. Or you push them up a little and make them get cut off like the bottoms ones do.
Looking good Toxic. I'd say raise the single, simul, and turns bars more up so they line up with the triangle because, "turns" is just hanging if you zoom in and also move them away abit just like the name bars. I'm not too exited a bout the small ports maybe it's just the white bg I don't even know really lol. Good stuff bro keep it up. Let me know if you need any Effects/GFX. I'm also working on my lifebars and I have 3 different templates that I've recycled if you need some ideas for lifebars.
SpazMaster said, January 20, 2017, 10:51:20 pmYou and I had the same idea. Heh.I just scrolled up haha, I guess we did.
Finally got an update video up. I pushed the bars up and to the right and left a bit so there can be more space for the words. I left the right side of the menu blank until I finalize what stages I want to appear.HUNGRY WOLF said, January 20, 2017, 10:46:52 pmLooking good Toxic.

I'm not planning to make lifebars right now though. I want to make lifebars for this sp and my previous ones some time in the future though. Maybe even update the old sps a bit too.I might ask for the effects when I do make the lifebars. Thanks Wolf.
Looks great. I'm sure it will be fun to edit the title screen to showcase any stage you want. Maybe it can be a extra little customization for fans.

Just record a stage in 1280x720, make the video into png images, then put it in fighter factory. bis1994 said, January 21, 2017, 11:19:46 pmWow! Nice screenpack! One suggestion; you could put the team menu inside the portrait area.Thanks bis. Yeah, this looks better to me actually. I feel like the other version had too much going on.
