[Bastard Mami]

Finally, a good KoF Andy.

Who are you, hotdawg ?

[Cybaster]

About the Clsn detector program, which kind of algorithm are you using? Because if you hard code how each corner of a clsn box looks like, you'll be able to find the coordinates even on non cleaned images, using a simple exhaustive search, or other faster algorithms.

[Koop]

Good luck with your wips.

The clsn detector does work on non clean images IIRC.

[Scal]

Thanks for your interest.

I use my own algorithm which might not be the most efficient but it is reliable. As I said, the detection is customizable but I suppose that a screenchot is more explicit:


Obviously, the more color are defined as possible cross or box color, the more longer is the detection.

The clsn detector does work on non clean images IIRC.

Indeed but on slow computers, the software tends to freeze because of the detection that take too much time. Working on a more or less clean picture is a good way to significatively decrease the process time.

well, this wips looks pretty good

specially knowing they have edited sprites

Thanks but do not expect tons of new sprites. Frames have been mainly edited to add him moves and intros.

BTW, I'm working on the DM specific to the Retro mode:

KOF96 screenpack has been "ported" to WinMugen +.
