I just know how to rip the files.So, I assuming that we will need to rip the old-fashioned way?Let me tell you a bit about my knowledge of 2D Fighter Maker 2nd games:If you're planning to just rip the sprites/sounds, you can just get the 2DFM sprite/sound ripper from somewhere over the Net. However, if you're looking into making a 100% accurate character (collisions, animations, the whole nine yards), unlocking every file (except the .exe) is required, and that's not gonna get done without hex editing every single game file (except the .exe, once again), and that's actually pretty simple, you just gotta change one character in every file.EDIT: Oh, and one more thing: Since most, if not all 2DFM2nd games default at 100fps while MUGEN defaults at 60fps, use this formula to determine the MUGEN translation for accurate ticks:x * .6 = yx = 2DFM char frame county = determined MUGEN char frame count

It's because I want to see them brought out into the open more, revived sort of. For a game not even out yet that logic does not work though, and my only reason with this is simply that Mugen is better in every way to Fighter Maker. It's what we Mugeneers do, it's so hypocritical to start saying this game is off limits. They won't be affected even slightly by what we do anyway, unless my port somehow becomes more popular which is not likely unless Elecbyte release online play soon.I feel a tad stupid for not thinking to simply google "FM2K ripper". I'll get on with that and hopefully have enough done to make a video soon.I'll also upload the sprites for others to use. I wonder if anyone'll use them in a Flash movie.EDIT: Googling "FM2K ripper" actually has this thread as it's top result. I cannot find a ripping tool of any sort yet. Oh wait, here's one.AW YEAH! This is only a taste of the power I now possess!
You do understand that many groups will alter production when things like this happen. If you're intent on ripping from the game then keep the rips to yourself.
Someone beat me to it and none of us realised.But there's no way I would keep it to myself anyway, that's just stupid. Each character has about 800 sprites each, and each one has to be cleaned up after it is exported, and needs to be set up properly for their palette. There is no way they're going to redo all of them just because they were leaked. You're insane if you think they would.These are pretty much the final product sprites. A few attacks are missing and some may be altered, in which case we just reupload our rips with the new stuff and update everything.You guys seem to be so damn against this it's unreal. I think I'll abandon this thread now and make my own once I have more than just Pinkie's Idle done. (It looks so great!)
The only reason why I would be against ripping sprites from an unfinished game is because of the Possibility of the creator of pulling the plug on the whole project.If that does not stop you than go nuts. After all, whose stopping you?

I am just a wee babby trying to learn the MUGENs, but I can say this: If you think getting started on ripping parts from this game for Mugen, then you are, in fact, dumb. What's disrespectful is leaking the game, doing what hundreds of people who can't do this want is just a public service.
Out of RESPECT for authors who are doing something for fun and not getting paid we should not take their work until they're done. There are people out there who have not yet seen this stuff and are patiently waiting for FiM to come out. We should not be trying to take any of the hard work from the sprite authors. They have given their free time for that game.When that game is done, and everyone has seen the the hard work they've put in, then we are at liberty to put our own spin on it. We don't rip commercial stuff till it's out right? Why should we be horrible to these people just because they've had a bit of misfortune with a leaker?I doubt they will shut down, and it's not like we can stop anyone, and i'm sure someone has. But if i wanted to make something from MLP: FiM, i would wait till they had finished.
