Character Creation problems

[Overweapon: Scythe]

I had problems creating my character:

1-on some sprites of her, there's a line that's invisible, but shows in the game.
2(MAJOR)-She appears much LARGER than normal. Any help of how to resize a character withOUT editing the sprites all over again?

1. check your palette, having a color count of 256 is not enough, ideally you know what each aplette entry is used for.

2. in the .cns file, change the scale constant to something smaller then 1 ; 0.5 makes the charatcer half as big.

Arigato gozaimasu.
the character is almost under ready-state!

That worked, but now I have some other problems:

Attacking Accuricy Failure
-only a light punch and a projectile hit the enemy.

Throwing attack Failure
-throw does not connect; more rather stuns the enemy and has them
set to as if they're trying to throw something but are left vulnerable.
This is not what I planned , but LOL!

[Bastard Mami]

for teh attack thing, check the triggers on the hitdef, and whetehr you have clsn1s after that trigger.

for private beta testing you need to gather a group of thrustworthy people, preferably upload you file with a password. i am not sure of what you an tto do. maybe you can set up a topic in the project sub forum, get a photobucket account and upload screen caps here ...

Sorry 'bout that question.

Edited the post:
what do I add for having a character make a sound when hit?

[State 5000, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 =  AnimElem = 1
value = S501,0
volume = 200
channel = -1
;lowpriority = -1
freqmul = 1.0
loop = 0
pan = 0
;abspan =
;ignorehitpause =
;persistent =

this didn't do anything... but I think that the 5000 states are for taking damage?
And what is for the KO effect?

[Bastard Mami]

the thing after "[state" is completely meaningles, to have a sound played while being hit you either add a "trigger1 =  movetype= H" to that sctrl and put it on statedef -2  or overwrite state 5000. read this again http://mugenguild.com/docs/overview.html

[Overweapon: Scythe]

hmm... so what would I use...?
found the spot (statedef -2)... but what do I add/remove?
(gomennasai, I'm a total noob at this and this is the 2nd time I'm trying to
make a character, I've never gotten THIS far before. the first one's sprites
didn't even get through the system)

I have just arranged it like this :


;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; States that are always executed (use statedef -2)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[State 5000, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 =  AnimElem = 1
value = S501,0
volume = 200
channel = -1
freqmul = 1.0
loop = 0
pan = 0


because I am very stupid at this (I've used other game editing systems, sorry.
I'm used to RPG Maker 2003, not this)

not to be a pest, but could you change it to what would get it to play sound 501, 0?
please show me what I'm doing wrong... ???

if I could understand how to fix this and what the number for being killed would be,
then I could take this one under control for a while...

would that mean that you just said only use this:

[State -2, PlaySnd]
type = PlaySnd
trigger1 =  movetype = H
value = S501,0
volume = 200
channel = -1
;lowpriority = -1
freqmul = 1.0
loop = 0
pan = 0
;abspan =
;ignorehitpause =
;persistent =

?
This didn't work...

[Bastard Mami]

read some parts of teh docs carefully, tehre is a default sound for getting killed.

The current link only tells how to get the program to work, not how to fix up a custom character...
my brain is about to break.

[Overweapon: Scythe]

Hmm, someone sent me some info of what to rearrange for a character's
deathcry. It was a simple number 11 sound that was out. Though the person
knew what to rearrange for "taking hits" sounds, I tried it and it didn't work...
does anyone know what to rearrange for making a sound play when the
character takes damage? I already figured out what to change for when she
DOES damage to the target character, but not when she takes a hit.

was it something to do with state 5000?
I have all the taking hit screams/noises in group 5000, but nothing happens.
Help please?

[Overweapon: Scythe]

is anyone online?

It's due to this why I had to split my character into TWO different versions now.
This is one of the last few adjustments I need help on before release of her
"beginner's type" style.

[Bastard Mami]

i support the don't bite more that you can chew attitude, heck i had years of programming experience and still my first mugen character was a snes one.

[Bastard Mami]

now, onto the matter; the group no of the sounds barely matters, you should just use something that feels comfortable. to have a sound play on a specific situation, use the playsound sctrl.

[Overweapon: Scythe]

so what exactly would the code be? ???
My sound-FX (let me use an example of one I already added) that I'd want to use for taking a hit is
Group 5020, Sound 1.

It was all set into group 5000 at first for another process but it failed, so I changed it.

This was a code I used from someone else, but it didn't exactly work:
[State -3, Ouch!]
type = PlaySnd
triggerall = Time = 1
triggerall = random < 500
trigger1 = stateno = 5000
trigger2 = stateno = 5010
trigger3 = stateno = 5020
trigger4 = stateno = 5070
trigger5 = stateno = 5080
trigger6 = stateno = 5100
value = 6666, random%3

was like this, but no effect even though i changed my damage sounds to group 6666
(oh god I hate that number...)

what did I do wrong?

[Bastard Mami]

where had you put that code ?

[Overweapon: Scythe]

At first right under the other [state -3] set (there are other things still under that list),
but then at the very bottom of my constants fileset.

neither positions had worked...

[Bastard Mami]

put it again right below the statedef-3 bit; but dellete the random triggerall, as well as taking out the random% expr for a while.

[Overweapon: Scythe]

Like this?

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
; States that are executed when in self's state file (use statedef -3)
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Statedef -3]

;This controller plays a sound everytime the player lands from a jump, or
;from a back-dash.
[State -3, Landing Sound]
type = PlaySnd
triggerall = Time = 1
trigger1 = stateno = 52 ;Jump land
trigger2 = stateno = 106 ;Run-back land
value = 40, 0

[State -3, Ouch!]
type = PlaySnd
triggerall = Time = 1
trigger1 = stateno = 5000
trigger2 = stateno = 5010
trigger3 = stateno = 5020
trigger4 = stateno = 5070
trigger5 = stateno = 5080
trigger6 = stateno = 5100
value = 6666

Edit!
YAY! It worked! At least she now screams something when hit. (just the same thing, but works!)

fixed a small bit, make sure you have a sound 6666, 0
