New Character TemplateDesigned to help users understand how to create the basics systems needed to get a functional character on screen. All you have to do is just add your own sprites to a character using this template to see results on screen, and then expand on the systems provided by the template.Template Document DownloadInstallation VideoDOWNLOAD TEMPLATE
Well went ahead and bought the program. So you better not disappear!How close to current fighting game standards are you going to implement things? Like will it have push boxes along with blue and red hit boxes?How much feedback would you like in things that would make this easier to use and things that current fighters have?Are there specific areas you are focusing on?Will it be easy to set up engines and templates to share and allow people to expand on?
Thanks lol, I'm not going anywhere.As close as I can possibly get it to where the character can generally work for most fighting games, and then you would just add your game-specific features on top of it.A ton of feedback is welcomed.Just mainly focusing on basic movement and combat, but I can also cover more advanced features like tag team systems and so on.Yes, templates for complete resources or gameplay systems will be share-able and people will be able to add on top of them.
I don't ask for anything crazy. I just want to be able to create games like Street Fighter and Darkstalkers accurately. I take a lot of screen shots and videos to compare source accuracy when I create. I'd love it if for example I could use your interface to simplify the way hits work.Like when someone jabs them I'd like to visually be able to place the character in the correct location they should be at for each tick. Does that make sense? And to be able to do similar to code wall push, etc.Make templates for these and have the ability to edit each move respectively.That's just 1 example. I'm tearing the SF and DS series apart and would love to give you ideas. I get most of my ideas while doing my MUGEN adaptations. Your visual interface could open a lot of doors as this progresses.The reason I mentioned the push box is because MUGEN doesn't have one at all. And we have to do crazy work arounds to make things work properly.
You mean something like this : https://youtu.be/5fC-eBXuDk4?t=1m10sIf you look closely you will see a couple of small boxes, these are Position Collision boxes. I used them for the throw attack, but they allow you to position players where ever you want in the game.
Yeah that looks like it'd be useful. I'll give you more feedback when I can mess with the full version. Still got to wait for my download link and Probably have to wait till Tuesday because I'll be staying with my mother the next 3 days and FC didn't run on my laptop.
JNP is always two weeks ahead of me So i went and bought the commercial edition. I guess I'm waiting for a emailed link correct?Expect a bunch of ideas/feature requests/suggestions/questions

RESOURCE SYSTEMSMakes game development with Fighter Creator a lot easier by allowing users to create or use predefined game mechanics which, streamlines the creation process. By using Resource Systems, you no longer need to know how to implement most of the complicated gameplay features because resource systems, created by other users, can contain these features already perfected for you.Resource System options can be accessed by clicking on the 'RS' button at the bottom of the middle bar : New Resource System - Sets up a new resource system.Import Resource System - Import an existing resource system.Edit Resource System - Imports an existing resource system for editing.Reset Resource System - Removes any left over resource system data.If creating or editing a Resource System, new options will be available for you to add variables, entities, scripts, and frames to that system :When items are added to the system they will be tagged to let you know :After you are finished adding/adjusting everything in the system, clicking on the Resource System button, and clicking the 'Export Resource System' option will allow you to save your changes and export the results to a file :Once the file has been exported, press the Resource System button again, and then click on the 'Close Resource System' option to exit out of Resource System editing.To use the Resource System, press the Resource System button, then press the 'Import Resource System' button to load the system you previously exported.After the system has been imported, the data the system contained will be added to your project. Any data added to the Resource System hidden will not be visible when imported ( frames will still be visible but cannot be modified ). If there were any scripts that were added to the Resource System pre-defined, they can be accessed by pressing the Resource System button :After choosing the pre-defined script you want to insert into your project, you will then need to name the script :Once named, the script will be added to your project ready for usage :The Character Template posted before will be converted into a Resource System and posted here soon.
