Golden Axe the Hackjob by DC

[utunnels]

Mmm... I assume you have fixed Ax's slam? when I tried his slam, it doesn't feel like a slam. It's as if Ax can't carry the enemy much longer and fell instead.

The original A+J attack might look cool for a slam -- spinning the enemy in hand before slamming into the ground.

Otherwise, maybe a life-over-head frame can be edited out of this one:



*Edit*

Oh well I think he has done that frame already, it just doesn't last long enough.

Way ahead of you guys, here is a quick video. The recording quality sucks, but it shows the very things you were talking about:

Ah, amazing video.

BTW, the wall slam attack is available only when there's a wall? What if you input the command but there's no wall nearby?


I really like the scream when a foe falls into the water, aaahhhhhhh....*splash*

Thanks!

Wall throws are not separate commands, they are alternates that automatically replace certain other throws when you are near a wall and facing a given direction.

Code: [Select]

#include "data/scripts/com/ani0009.h"   //Animation switch wrapper.

void ani0019(int iOX, int iOZ, int iWY, int iCK, int iAni, int iType, int a, int b, int c, int d, int e, int f){
       
/*

    Perform alternate animation if nearby wall or hole.

    iOX:    X offset from self.
    iOZ:    Z offset from self.
    iWY:    Wall height check.
    iCK:    Check type: 0 = Wall. 1 = Hole. 2 = Both.

    a-f: Expansion.
*/

    void    vSelf       = getlocalvar("self"); //Calling entity.
   
    int iDir = getentityproperty(vSelf, "direction"); //Get facing.
    int iX = getentityproperty(vSelf, "x");                //Get self X location.
    int iZ = getentityproperty(vSelf, "z");                //Get self Z location.
    int iB = getentityproperty(vSelf, "base");        //Get self Base.
    int iWall;                                                  //Wall height.
    int iHole;                                                  //Hole flag.

    if (!iDir)                                                  //Facing left?
    {
        iOX = -iOX;                                             //Invert offset.
    }

    iWall = checkwall(iOX+iX, iOZ+iZ);                          //Get wall.

    if(iWall >= (iWY+iB)) //Wall at or over check threshold?
    {
        ani0009(vSelf, iAni, iType);                            //Switch animation.
    }
}
   

I really like the scream when a foe falls into the water, aaahhhhhhh....*splash* 

Thank you! I never liked how most games used generic KO grunts for a pit fall.

Off-topic:

We need the video(s) to be embedded here.

On-topic:

I like the way how you make the entity carry the other entity to an "object" side. This really caught me for wanting to script. Your scripts are always interesting as they are, DC.

Nice touch!

Have you considered making a pallete swap for Conan?
I know Primeop @

http://scrollboss.illmosis.net/mugenboss_stages.php
ripped and edited the stages from Golden Axe - Duel Remastered (Golden Axe - Genesis) and Dark Guld's Chamber (Golden Axe II - Genesis/Mega Drive). It would be great seeing those stages in the game and I am 99.9 percent sure that he would give his blessing, seeing that he created the custom Final Fight bad guys for Openbor approval.

Have you considered making a pallete swap for Conan?

As a matter of fact, Conan was the first thing I thought of for a remap; it was one of the very first additions I made. Here are Ax's remap options (players can choose from the first five).

1. Default.
2. Tyris color swap.
3. Barbarian clothes.
4. Conan.
5. Kain Blade (alt 1).
6. Doppleganger
7. Burn.
8. Shock.
9. Freeze.
10. KO.

It is nice to see Conan already done, are you going to do a palette swap for Valeria in Conan the Barbarian as well?

No clue who Valeria is. I only know of Conan as an icon; sadly the only movie I've seen from that genre is Red Sonya, and that wasn't even a true Conan film.

Here is another small teaser clip, I recorded it to demo a piece of code for Mattman, but it fits here too. As I mentioned before, the players aren't the only ones learning new tricks. Among some other new abilities, Amazons have a counter throw. Try using cheap tactics or sloppy air attacks and she'll introduce you to the ground.

Wow, this hack is going to be really promising: just seen a couple of youtube videos and liked them so much!

... you really need a good sprite artist for edits and additional animations, anyhow

Glad you like it! As for the offer, thank you, but I prefer to do my own editing and sprite work.

Wait, but if so how do you use your downward thrust against her?

Essentially, you don't. Not unless you can catch her occupied or from behind. It's one of her main tactical advantages.

Then we shall throw in random ideas.


Like the mist effect for the first stage, maybe a front layer looks better.

Sorry, that probably came out much harsher then I meant it. The truth is, I usually just find it easier to do the work myself. As an example, here is the current sprite sheet for Ax. He isn't finished just yet and as you can see already has more modified sprites then original.

I've been thinking about something to add as a front layer, mist sounds like a pretty good idea.

*Edit* Posted the wrong file a minute ago. Fixed.

Your sprite edit already looks professional. 
The hammer throw animation is my favorite.

The backward slam still needs one extra frame, but it looks OK for now.


Edit*

I think I can cancel this project and try something new.

[Mrgrill247]

Can some one post the shot. My work computer does not have winrar....
