I guess he's talking about all the customizations possible in a fullgame point of view : storyboards, better interactions between chars, high-res menus, intros, etc. As well as save option to unlock chars and the such.Clearly not a priority in a char creator point of view, but something to think about once (and if) everything is implemented correctly.
this shouldn't be seen as a burden of living up to the expectations of people, for now it's just some brainstorming that isn't supposed to make anyone feel like they are forced to do things, more importantly just some sort of reminder in order to make current progress modelable with future content/feats, sorta insight in the future to prevent conflicting decisions and overhaul/recoding of stuff with each new version of the softwarehell I couldn't say it any better atm, you get the idea
It's brainstorming that has been done dozens of time before, so let's keep it elsewhere and concentrate on mugen bugs that are better not being duplicated.

My long term goal for xnaMugen is too get it to 99% WinMugen compatability and then use the experience & knowledge I gained to create my own fighting game engine.
I think a big thing would be to fix up the glaring flaws along the way, points where the docs say one thing but mugen does another...but possibly allowing for some flexibility and improvement on the documentation where this isn't an actual "glitch"Case in point, animtype for hitdefs. It never states in the docs that this parameter only checks the first letter of the string, meaning that for it "Hard", "Heavy" and "Hamburger" are all treated the same way due to the H in the front. That's something that should be fine to leave.On the flipside, stuff like animelem as pointed out should be fixed. DefenseMulSet is a big offender too.

Not making use of what you've already achieved in this situation? I mean, fighting game engines are great, but if your new one worked in a lot of what already exists in mugen you'd get an instant fanbase. What would you do differently?More on topic. What do we have as bugs so far?animelemdefencemulsetnothitbyhitby (probably)cornerpushmodifyexplodreversaldefhitoverride+p2statenotime = 0 + common1.cns + -2 and -3 statesSloppy parsingAnything to add? A listing would be easier to read than picking bits out of posts.
reversaldef, cannot be active alongside a hitdefhitoverride disallows damage from p2stateno attacks (for that matter the docs list these as issues)modifyexplodI have had times where it won't rebind. And there was something in tips and tricks recently where you couldn't make the explod move faster, after being sped up once already via state -2. I've had my own series of stupid issues with it not quite acting as expected. How hard is it really to specify a new position and have it take. Modifyexplod should be overriding the original explod settings. Not taking bits and pieces dependant on what was set in the explod ctrl in the first place.

It means it will be no new features (besides fixing/improving/finishing current ones) [size=5pt]like Online Mode[/size] ?
With ModifyExplod, you can't change the explod's velocity, which I was trying to do for Barns' intro. >:|I think you should make every value of Explod work for ModifyExplod.
the -2 state thingie should not be changed as it might break some other stuff, at much a -4 state should be added that is run after regular state code is run.[EDIT]also, we have to think on a way for stuff to be done "after the frame has been logically rendered" so helpers can be re-bound to a parent that got hit/moved.

shamrock said, January 28, 2009, 05:51:17 pmI personally would like to see stages get clsn boxes.Would be easier to say let them be able to spawn helpers.
Character features first! As far as i'm concerned the screenpack can die for the moment and we'll do it over in a different way.
Folks, this thread was about focusing on getting a mugen clone and fixing or not the current bugs. This is not a wish list, so if you want one, create a new thread for that.
