WWE Smackdown vs Raw Screenpack

[Duos.act]

Decided to get into the screenpack makin' biz.  I think I about got the hang of it, so here's the progress on my very first screenpack.

I figured since Mugen lacks favorable WWE content I'd try my hand at this screenpack.  It draws inspiration from the select screen of the newest SD vs Raw game, and I used O.X.E.'s edit of the MT09 screenpack for DEF and SFF reference.

So far I have only finished the select screen, but I'm having some problems since I have no experience with fonts whatsoever.  Is it possible to scale them or am I gonna have to manually reduce the size and make a new font?

[DMK]

Looks really nice so far, especially like the RAW and Smackdown logos behind the characters portraits. Does remind me alot of the SvR games.

Do you plan to add anything ECW related?

[Duos.act]

Quick update on the select screen with properly sized fonts and other stuff.



Main menu is almost done, I"ll get a screen up when I finish it.

[DMK]

Looks alot better with the resized fonts. 

Do you plan to add anything ECW related?

Well they aren't technically apart of any brand WWEwise, but how would he implement ECW into the screnpack? Only other way I could even come close to see happening is if team mode and the portraits behind players 3 & 4 being ECW or maybe one side ECW the other WcW.


Anyways fine the way it is now as just a Smackdown! Vs RAW sp.

Better post this update while the forum isn't DEAD.

I am finished with everything except the options and vs screens.  Then I can add the sounds.


I made two versions of the title screen, tell me which one you think looks better.

The standard one.


One with Cena and Edge


Select


Vs


Win Screen WIP, unfinished.


Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Cena and edge are definitely better as it hides that awful bg(no offense )

and going by that, it might be a good idea to add something to the win screen to hide that bg as well.

It's the SVC Chaos select screen brightened.  It wasn't much better looking in that game to be blunt, but I might have over brightened it.

[Duos.act]

I redid the main title screen, now's it look now?

[DMK]

Looks much better with Edge and Cena blended in and the far darker RAW and Smackdown colors. Still feels a little empty below the SvR logo, but I couldn't think of what could look good below it without ending up with it cluttered. Perhaps 1 more wrestler from each Brand next to Cena and Edge? Like Orton, Undertaker, Kane, CM Punk, etc?

[Duos.act]

I could add CM Punk and Dolph Ziggler next to them.  Another thing I considered was having it animate and change wrestlers every so often.  Like it could turn to Dolph Ziggler/CM Punk, Rey Mysterio/Randy Orton, Wade Barrett/The Miz, etc.

Also are you ready?  Here's the MIND BLOWING OPTIONS SCREEN.


I really don't have many ideas for the win screen.  A friend suggested having Michael Cole or an interviewer stand beside the winner.  What do you think?

[Dreams In Stardust]

I think the victory screen w/ interviewer sounds like a pretty good idea.

Or maybe you could add one of the belts in somewhere?
(World Heavyweight, intercontinental, etc.)

The screenpack itself (barring sounds).  Is now finished  Now, should I attempt a pair of lifebars to go with it or not?  I could release the SP now or I could attempt lifebars.  What do you guys think?

Check over your screenpack for errors. And the third row in character select is in fourth row's way. I dunno man, make the lifebars and don't make a rush release like you did with Kula.
You made your threads flooded with lotsa bug reports. Take your time to finish it.

[Duos.act]

Yeah Kula was totally a rush release despite the fact that I started her in fucking February and ended in November.

Hope you release it with the update of Kula.

I'd like to see some lifebars, but can't think of any solid idea, perhaps something from the older games spruced up a bit, like WWF: Raw is War, Attitude, and the original Smackdown games before they went with just showing limb damage? I'm certain some of those had been ripped and if not might be easily attainable. I also like the sound of the main menu being animated with a multitude of wrestlers changing around. I have nothing though for the options menu.

[Duos.act]

I have decided to attempt lifebars.  They are still in production, but they are based on WWF Wrestlemanai the Arcade Game.  I'll get a pic up when I get them done.

[DMK]

Awe, those sound nice. I feel stupid now for not thinking about those older games as they had fairly good stamina/life bars. Screenpack seems to be coming along nicely, you should think of doing more in the near future.

Its cool that you trying to make a SvR screenpack but if your trying to make as accurate as you can then you have a long way to go honestly i think you could make it almost as accurate if you did i would download it but yea i don't know any thing about you rushing your work but you should definitely take your time with it if you plan on releasing it shoot after im done with mine screenpack i might make one i just never thought about making one until you came up with this screenpack and Caddie came up with that full game but cool project
