In case if you're wondering, I've solved the problem by removing all offending pieces of code.

Was it ideal? Not really, but without knowing what is the creator's intent for the pieces of code, this is probably the only way forward to deal with the problem.

I guess it is another reason why to input a ton of comments into the code itself, just in case something needs to be fixed.

More testing is needed on my end and I am not at my computer. However, from the brief testing I did, I cannot cancel my attacks into a dodge.

I wonder if the coding is in to make sure the AI does not go crazy and cancel attacks into dodges...

So, running some tests with Ikemen with all of the characters I have loaded into the program when I got this error flashed at me:

.\external\script\start.lua:1403: ./chars/Bowsette/Bowsette.cmd:883:
Missing '=' or '!='
stack traceback:

   external/script/main.lua:3189: in function 'loop'
   external/script/main.lua:4156: in main chunk
   [G]: ?

Here is the coding in question:

Code:

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Dodge
[State -1, Dodge]
type = ChangeState
value = 760
trigger1 = command = "z"
trigger1 = command != "holdback"
trigger1 = command != "holdfwd"
trigger1 = command != "holddown"
trigger1 = statetype != A
trigger1 = ctrl
trigger2 = hitdefattr
trigger2 = statetype != A
trigger2 = ctrl

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Dodge Forwards
[State -1, Dodge Forwards]
type = ChangeState
value = 761
trigger1 = command = "z"
trigger1 = command = "holdfwd"
trigger1 = statetype != A
trigger1 = ctrl
trigger2 = hitdefattr
trigger2 = command = "holdfwd"
trigger2 = statetype != A
trigger2 = ctrl


;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Dodge Backwards
[State -1, Dodge Backwards]
type = ChangeState
value = 762
trigger1 = command = "z"
trigger1 = command = "holdback"
trigger1 = statetype != A
trigger1 = ctrl
trigger2 = hitdefattr
trigger2 = command = "holdback"
trigger2 = statetype != A
trigger2 = ctrl

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;Dodge Down
[State -1, Dodge Down]
type = ChangeState
value = 763
trigger1 = command = "z"
trigger1 = command = "holddown"
trigger1 = statetype != A
trigger1 = ctrl
trigger2 = hitdefattr
trigger2 = command = "holddown"
trigger2 = statetype != A
trigger2 = ctrl

I think the problem is that all of the hitdefattr needs some more after the "hitdefattr" part, per the program's documentation. The problem is: WHAT I should put at the end? These moves in questions are dodges: press button and do a dodge or a dodge roll to avoid attacks; can't be attacking while doing so though...

This problem is affecting multiple characters, particularly of the same creator since the coding was copied to them, and I never had this problem when working in MUGEN 1.0 or (as best I can recall at the moment) previous versions of Ikemen, so this problem first appeared for me in Ikemen 99.0 RC1.

With that background info out of the way: what is the best way to address this problem?

Made this topic a while ago, and no response. Thinking since the problem affects both Ikemen and MUGEN, I'd post it here.

So, I want to create and modify other character's arcade intros and outros to fit with the background music for these intros and outros. I have noticed that the music and the intros/outros gotten desync'd from what it was, thanks to improvements to computers, the program, and everything else. What kind of tools I should be looking at to modify and test the intros and outros?

Speaking of music, is there a way to determine how many "ticks" equal to one second of music? If I know that, then I should be able to get everything sync'd nicely.

So, I have this problem when using Ikemen, but I think this also applies to MUGEN as well: I have recently installed a new screenpack for the engine and noticed that the default super move activation effects (the sparks and shockwaves that display when a character is activating a super move and the screen darkens), are too small, as if they are built for a different resolution than what the current screenpack calls for. Attempting to fix the problem by changing the localcoord only makes the lifebars too large.

What is the recommended solution to the problem of super move effects being too small due to resolution problems?

New Pikachu's update 7.0 release (4/4/2023)

Board: Your Releases, 1.0+

Good morning. It has been a while since I have last posted any releases, over two years to be exact.

Today, I have a release to make: New Pikachu's 7.0 update will be released now.

For your information, the IKEMEN Go program has recently reignited my love and fondness for MUGEN in a massive way. This means that I do plan to migrate New Pikachu over to IKEMEN and start to use items and coding exclusive to that program. However this means that this update is probably one of (if not the) last update for New Pikachu before the migration into IKEMEN.

A list of what has been updated, coming from the Readme:

-A graphical overhaul on the Pikachu's Air Mail Attack.
--Updated the Pikachu Hot Air Balloon with new graphics
--Replaced the Pikachu-inside-a-ball characters with two new ones:
---a Pikachu cube floating on balloons, and
---a regular Pikachu floating on balloons.
--Updated the Pikachu truck/car sprites with modifications to the wheels so that they will appear to rotate and not be static.
-Coding changes to the Pikachu's Air Mail Attack:
--Updated the coding so that if the "mob" characters gotten hit, they don't suddenly disappear after a short time; they will properly fly off-screen and then disappear.
-Updated coding for both Thundershock attacks so that the projectile will not mysteriously disappear if Pikachu tried to perform the move while at or near the edge of the screen when being played in IKEMEN.

PotS said, March 28, 2023, 12:39:21 pm

I think it's because your offset of -57 is creating the projectile outside its camera boundaries, which default to 40. Try increasing "projedgebound".

That said you're right that Ikemen behaves different from Mugen in this aspect. I can report the issue.

And where I can find this "projedgebound" so I can test this solution?

So, I have finally gotten around to updating New Pikachu, with key areas being graphical improvements and a bit of coding improvements. A particular goal down in the future is to make the leap to Ikemen from MUGEN with regards to my choice of fighting game engine. Updating New Pikachu to be fully compatible with Ikemen is a step in that direction.

Now, there is this problem where New Pikachu's electrical projectiles from the Thundershock moves are going backwards and disappearing entirely if the move is performed at or near either edge of the screen. See the video below for details.

https://files.catbox.moe/isgvvu.mp4

Now, I never had this problem at all when playing as New Pikachu in MUGEN 1.0. I have tested multiple versions of Ikemen (98.1 and 98.2) and I have this problem in both versions, so it might have to do something with New Pikachu's coding. Here are the coding for both moves:

Code:

Can anyone figure out what is the problem and what is the solution?

Also, is there a parameter in Ikemen that makes inputs easier or harder to do? I was having an unusually difficult time inputting the quarter-circles needed for the special moves, so I was wondering if there is something new that is throwing off the inputs?

I have just downloaded the latest stable version of Ikemen (98.2) and tested it out. I have noticed that there is a noticeable delay in sound. As in, when in the menu, I press up or down and the selection highlight moves just fine, but the beep sound that accompanies the movement rings in a half-second or so later. It is not a long delay, but it is enough to annoy me, as someone who is a bit picky with sound-to-action synchronization.

It is not just menu actions, it also seem to be impacting the fighting as well since I am noticing move sounds coming out a bit later than what I have expected or remembered.

So, is this just a problem with my computer, or is it something known to the development team that is being addressed? And if it is really on my end, where should I look to fix the problem?

Okay, I was thinking about getting back into MUGEN development for the first time in a long time. However, the long period of time that I was absent means that some important bits of knowledge have gotten lost from my head, especially the most important piece: how to generate a unified palette from sprites and sprite-sheets.

So, tonight, I have three questions:

1.) Say I want to add additional sprites into an existing character whose colors will not be impacted by the existing character's color choice (i.e. Adding a new thunderbolt projectile to Pikachu whose lightish-blue colors will not change, even though Pikachu will not always be yellow). Assuming I have the sprite prepared with an indexed palette and pcx format, what is the procedure to import the sprites properly into the character; is it as simple as just loading the sprites into Fighters Factory, or more steps are required?

2.) Say I have on my hands a complete sprite sheet like this one here:

https://www.spriters-resource.com/arcade/streetfighteralpha3/sheet/146068/

With the green background supposed to be the transparent color. Obviously, I need to cut the sprite-sheet up into individual pcx sprites to be imported into Fighters Factory. What is the procedure to process this sprite-sheet so that all of the resulting individual sprite pcx's share the same palette and what is the correct procedure to import them all into Fighters Factory?

3.) Say I have on my hands either
-a large pile of individual loose sprites with widely contrasting palettes that I want to meld into a single character (think Double from Skullgirls for example)
-a large pile of pre-cut-out sprites whom they all don't have an common indexed palette (either someone forgot to do so, or the sprites are not in the appropriate format like png or jpeg) but I want to make a character out of anyway, or
-a sprite sheet like the one used as an example in question 2, with additional sprites I want to use that is not on the sprite sheet (like someone generated extra moves for Sagat that is not in the original game) but, nonetheless, want to have a unified palette to use.

What is the procedure to process all of the sprites to properly prepare them for FIghter Factory and MUGEN useage, especially if they all need to have a unified palette?

I know this is a lot, but I will appreciate any help that is given to me.
