other Software when creating a character

Except FF3, is that any other software that can make helpful when create or modify the character...?

I personally use After Effects for creating most of my effects, Photoshop for most things dealing with sprites and Audition for modifying sounds. There are free alternatives (Besides maybe AE... that one is kind of exclusive) to most of these programs out there. In terms of creation tools for mugen specifically, FF3 is the best there is, but if you want, you can try your hand at using Fighter Factory Classic instead. It's closer to the original version and is more stable than FFU was. I still say go with FF3. Are you looking for something specific you want to do that FF3 isn't letting you?

im not sure whether FF3 having this function or not(maybe im not yet discover it), i'm emphasize on writing on the changestate for AI, i want to ensure the position setting is good enough for Ai to trigger the state, on FF3 i just only seem the offset viewer, that help but not much, and that i have to imagine the position to write, so here i ask the question is that any software can be useful for testing the animation after the effect or any other alternative software can help it

Hey.

What I usually do for debugging is make use of the DisplayToClipboard sctrl. I always have two of the parameters passed being the distance between me and my opponent. That way, I can see exactly how far away I need to be for my AI to use the move. Now for the process:

Code:

; Debug
[State -2]
type = DisplayToClipboard
text = "p2distx: %d  p2disty:%d"
params = p2bodydist x, p2bodydist y

Press Ctrl+D to enable debugging. There at the bottom left, you'll see the output of your DisplayToClipboard code. It's in realtime with your character, so as you move the values change.

Hey.

No problem. Yeah, there really aren't any other tools out there that are of the same quality. Back in the WinMUGEN and DosMUGEN days there was MMC, but it's also outdated. In addition, from the very beginning, Elecbyte provided tools (command line) for creating sffs and snds. The .air file could be made in a text editor and all the other stuff would have be done manually. So, in the end FF is your best bet.

Hey.

The trigger would just be "1" because you want it active all the time.

For your second question, I don't quite know what you mean. Can you explain or take a picture maybe of what you're looking for?

At the beginning, when we click ctrl + d, the debug info will come out and initially there are only few information, so i wanna ask is which file i can find for this debug info.

Sorry to say cannot insert pic =.=' .....dunno why, once i click insert picture, it just show [image] [\image], and what does tat mean?

Posted: October 21, 2014, 05:30:34 am

Hey.

The debug info that is there is gathered from the system. You don't change it. It shows you what state you're in, the animation you're in, the current sprite, which frame, the time in your current state, the movetype and type of your current state and more. DisplayToClipboard will allow you to output custom info about your character underneath the data at the bottom left.

P.S. As you figured out, the proper bbcode is "img"

Hey.

BBCode is the name for "Bulletin Board Code" that you use on various forums to post pictures, style your text and things like that.

Hey.

No, you still need to upload images to image hosting websites.

School.

I also recommend download the software called LightShot. It enables to take a quick screenshot and upload it straight away with a single click. It's very useful when you need to show someone something in a hurry.
