 I can't understand what's the 1st stage is for. As for 2nd one, nice! did earthquake happened?
 You should smoothen the edges to make it more natural (it's tough work I know).

 BTW are you planning complex platform in that 2nd stage?

I can't understand what's the 1st stage is for.

I was actually gonna post what they were for, but I was at my uncles place for the weekend out of town, and his PC had issues with lavalit. That stage is a 3D field for battle mode, using the panel sprites from the metropolis level from sonic 2. I put some platforms to jump on in the corners, and I plan on putting lava in the middle. The first stage that will feature traps. 

As for 2nd one, nice! did earthquake happened?

Thanks! As for the stage design, it's for the sonic mod that follows chaotix rage, so you could say that or it's eggman's work.

You should smoothen the edges to make it more natural (it's tough work I know).

believe me, I tried to, but my uncles PC would turn the sprite around for me to do so. Don't worry though, I saved an extra copy of the panel sprites before I put them together in that image.

BTW are you planning complex platform in that 2nd stage?

Yeah, that's what I was going for. I will add spikes from the sonic game to poke in and out in certain places, and I added some holes there to. I was gonna have all the act 2 stages be 2D stages, but I decided to do this in 3D. I'll try making harder levels later on, but I'm not to sure with holes, they caused a lot of problems for me in BWWD's Battletoads mod.

He people, I've ran into another problem. I'm trying to ad water effects to a BGlayer, but it doesn't seem to be responding to the variables:

Code: [Select]

BGLayer data/bgs/Ristar0/BG3.gif 0 0.5 0 2 0 0 2000000000 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0
While I'm posting this, here's a quick video of more new stages I'm working on. I simply uploaded because I don't upload videos as often as I really want to:

 Cool stages! you could make full stage for 2D mods here, for adventure not for brawlers like this.

 Oh yes, it's been a while but I'll inform you anyways, although the enemies I made for you before (for 2D battle) use scripts, basicly their AI covers all possible opponent position and react based on this.

 Each character has attack animation for case in which opponent is:
- Right above
- Above and front
- Directly in front
- Right below
- Below and front

 For 'above' case, I simply use jumpframe to make character jumps. The main goal is to jump to higher platform. He/she can attack while doing this.
 For 'below' case, I use script to drop character from platform and reactivate it again so he/she lands on below platform (if there's any).

 I can't give strict jump speed for jumping up cause it depends on platforms altitude different. For easy reference, using character's jumpheight as jumpup speed is good enough.

Don't sweat it blood, there will be 2D structured stages for adventure more in the future. Not too mention I planed long ago of adding 2D stages for cosmic damage as well.

Thanks for giving me that info blood, but I don't know if I still have the exact copies of them.... Actually, I might, because I never got around to updating cronus, one of the chars you fixed up for me, but I'll have to go into more detail with you later.

BTW, do you remember that old script you used to get character to do a free special, by holding one button and pressing another? I can't find the command for it. I wanna make more free specials with the Attack2 - 4 buttons, like how player entities have a special 2 command, that worked by holding forward and pressing special.

---------------
Now, it's time to give yall some news. First off, I haven't been upating much because I didn't wanna be spamming this with everything each post at a time. SO here's the deal so far"
I've decided to see if I can upload patch files for the beta demo, so if you have the data folder, you can just copy what I upload over it, so i don't have to upload the new versions in full zip files.

I'm currently working on more pain animations. Two for getting hit upwards, where you will jump to a certain height in your pain anim, just like enemies in SOR when adam would uppercut them before kicking them away. The other will have to jumping in the same height, but moving backwards. There's another made for the battletoads. In Bwwd's mod, the toads had grabdown attacks that layed enemies on the ground while hitting them. Turn out he was using fire pain for this, so I'm changing it to pain number, and other character may make use for this, like sonic, who will start laying enemies down while spinning over them.

Other that working on Silver the hedgehog and Saul, I've also started work for Guardian heroes advance characters, and Ray is the first I've worked on. The plan is to get the three main heroes and their elemental powers, so I can use the sprites for those powers on the original Guardian heroes, who you've seen in Burnking's Guardian heroes Warpath mod if you've played it yet.

Other than the stages I've shown you in the videos, I've also made two adventure stages that will be in the beta demo when updated, 1 streets of rage level and 1 battletoads level.

I don't have any shots with me at the moment, but If I remember, I'll try making some tomorrow, cause I gotta show yall what I did with Ray's special. 

That's all for now, peace.

It was an earlier script you wrote for 2D stage players. Before I used slide, and ended up using cancel, there was the script where I had to hold down the attack button and press down in order to do the Follow animation. I'll have to search this thread or my PMs.

EDIT:
Hey wait a minute. Can cancel work with walking and running animations? all I wanna do is hold forward and press the A# buttons to perform more free specials, so i don't have to use directional inputs(like D,F,A). If this is the case, I may not need that script after all, and just use cancel commands on said animations.

[Bloodbane]

Nope, cancel doesn't work with WALK and RUN.

 Oh that one! I use slide actually since your characters don't have slide attack so it doesn't matter if I use it for drop down platform.

 If you want something like Forward+Attack2 or Forward+Attack4, I might be able to make that with script.

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

Dizzam....

If you want something like Forward+Attack2 or Forward+Attack4, I might be able to make that with script.

That's it, and thanks. Another reason why I should look at script more often(still didn't finish the music menu yet), but this is what the beta demo was made for: working on new features.

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

What's up yall? Now that I've put the time in to do it, I wanna show yall 2 things I've done recently.
First off, if any of yall saw that video I posted in the last page, you'll see silver's cancel combo attacks shot waves from his hand, damaging enemies.
Spoiler

After making an enemy copy of him, I had to figure out how to make it work, since enemies don't use cancel, and wont progress since it's a projectile doing the damage. So, I made a copy of the Projectile, and removed the attack box numbers from it, and copied them to Silver, and extending the attack to fit the wave, looking as if the wave is still doing damage, but it's actually the enemy:

Next, Advance Guardian Heroes', Ray and his special move:
Spoiler

http://img341.imageshack.us/i/bor0037.gif/

In the game, Ray summons lighting and I guess he absorbs it, so I ripped the animation, and even made it bigger, so you don't see the end of it in 2D stages:
Spoiler

http://img514.imageshack.us/i/sp12.gif/

After this, he shoots the lighting with a no move command on it, because spawning doesn't count the hits towards him, so I had to put nomove on the projectile:
Spoiler

http://img576.imageshack.us/i/bor0038.gif/

This projectile uses extending frames, and when the lightning reaches the end of the full animation(of frames), it goes into a black frame, and shoots the same beam, except it actually moves, before it dies in the frame after it:

That's the only significant things right now, but I'll have more to show later.

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

I have a quick question folks: Isn't there a command for grab attacks, that let go of the opponent during the attack? Cause I'm making grab attacks with pain anims that make the victim slide, but then the character is still holding them from a distance away.

X)

[Bloodbane]

 AFAIK there's none. The only way to let go is by knocking down opponent.

[DJGameFreakTheIguana]

Really? I thought there was a command for that. Guess I've been holding out for it for nothing then. I'll just and start making the attacks knockdown then.

[CyberSoulX]

Yo DJ! You should add ranger X on the roster.

Yo Cybersoul! No need to seat it, I know full well of that game, and I already have plans of adding him(Regardless that I think he's suppose to be a giant robot).
