OK so the "raw data" is some SDL class then? Anyone read the images yet? And I wonder if SDL also deals with the compression.

It is also important to note that the images are not saved in the PNG file they are turned into raw data and then compressed with algorithms.
What? Anyway nice work.

You can have icons labeled "1.0" for the topic starter to use, but without making separate filters. So the character button would filter to character and character 1.0. And the "hi-res" filters should be similarly unified, I say.

Well you wouldn't need to duplicate states; only animations. And the only modification you'd need to make to them is prepending the sprite numbers with 10, 20, 30... And then you put a variable in the value of changeanim2, so not much work would be involved in making any given character compliant.
And I don't see a reason to support more than 5 forms. Shang Tsung isn't something I think is worth mimicking in Mugen. But I am thinking of characters that drop weapons or armor (Vega), characters with multiple costumes (KOF), and characters that power up and change their appearance (DBZ). Apart from something like Shang Tsung, is there a character that would need more than 5 forms? Deciding on a specific number would be nice.

If you're really supposed to use "ColorPanel," then my guess is that you're supposed to be learning inheritance and code ColorPanel yourself as a subclass of Panel. This should be correct:
class ColorPanel extends Panel
{
ColorPanel(Color color)
{
setBackground(color);
}
}

Well there is no accessible class named ColorPanel. I think you want to replace
Code: ColorPanel panel = new ColorPanel(backColor);
with
Code: Panel panel = new Panel();
panel.setBackground(backColor);
Either that, or import the package where the ColorPanel class is defined.

I downloaded GM's SF3 characters, and they just use authorname="GM" and name="Gill" as triggers, so there's no standard detection method there. And Gill's form simply depends on the direction he's facing. The only thing that indicates the character's current form is the facing trigger.
So far, I know of no implemented method that can be standardized to use in any character. It's a rather simple matter though. All you need is a variable that says "I have multiple forms" and another variable that says "I am in this form right now." It could be reduced to 1 variable if you use something else (like action numbers) to indicate that multiple forms exist.

From what I can tell, characters with transformations are common. But, there doesn't seem to be an unofficial transformation standard. Although there are characters that transform, there are not characters that support these transformations in custom states (namely, throws), besides probably the particular transformation character itself and perhaps other characters by the same author. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
So what we do have so far is the indices that characters should use for required sprites and animations of their alternate forms. Simply increase the index by 10,000 for each form.
- Form 0 - indices 0 to 9,999
- Form 1 - indices 10,000 to 19,999
- Form 2 - indices 20,000 to 29,999
- Form 3 - indices 30,000 to 39,999
- (and so on if there are more forms...)
Assuming all transformation characters follow this numbering scheme, there is only one thing that prevents us from making our character use the correct sprites when throwing a transformed character. We can't tell what form the character is in!
We need a way to determine (A) that the opponent has multiple forms, and (B) what form they are currently in.
What I want to know is... has anybody done this? Is there a reliable method that has been used by multiple authors? Is there a single author who has released multiple transformation characters using a reliable method? If a good method already exists, is already implemented in more than 1 existing characters, then it should be taken and made an unofficial standard. Otherwise, a new standard should be documented and implemented in a new character, and then (hopefully) adopted in future character releases.
