The Simpsons

[BeasTie]

It's pretty good so far!

If you want some help and don't mind, I've been digging up some suitable SFX, music etc.

One thing to start off, you can get your cutscenes to centre the screen by giving adding coords in the scene file.

Code: [Select]

I'll post some more feedback once I can check it out more.

thanks yeah sound fx and music would be good. i have problems with sound files i find of simpsons not working in Openbor....

also thanks for tip for centering GIF. all my other cutscenes which i have made myself are full screen except that one cos i didnt make it, ive tried to find GIFs of the simpsons opening credits but none other than that one from original arcade... may have to try and make one from scratch...

You must convert sound files to 22,050hz, 8bit mono

Download http://www.goldwave.com

Open the file, and choose "Save As..."

Choose these settings

Here's the sounds folder updated so they all work.

Edit -
What about the soundtrack from this old simpsons game for some of the music?

thanks, yeah i loved that game as a kid, though i look back at it and remember how broken it was lol- especially Ned flanders remember ?

the song is good- ive tried to use wavtobor but sucked at that lol. i like the darkstalkers soundtrack music ive chosen so far, but yeah if theres similar high energy tracks that are more 'simpsons' like then thats good.

BTW is there anyway to make the sounds not play if the same sound is already being played- some of the dialogues go for a few seconds and if you do same move the voices lap over themselves

Lol yeah it was pretty awkward gameplay.  Theres some sfx that I got from it too. There's also music from simpsons road rage I got that is pretty good.  Also there's simpsons hit and run (haven't listened to it yet)

Need to add randomsound script or something to prevent the audio spam.  So it will randomly choose sfx or sometimes play silence instead.

I'll send you a new copy with updated sound and some music I think works, you can decide if you want the music or not.  I'll send you all the tracks in .BOR format if you like. (otherwise I'm using .ogg format)

I also added the tree house of horror theme to the menu

awesome thanks so much ! Really appreciate the help. I dont mind if its BOR or OGG format. Im guessing you use Savetube to convert as an mp3 then convert the file using goldwave ?

Any chance you can have a look at my Burns character freespecial1 code ? he is supposed to spawn an enemy but nothing happens- i did it before and it worked but ive changed something and it doesnt work anymore.

Also what do you think of gameplay- anything i should be adding or changing ?

i like doing the 3 of the 4 atacks before they get knockdown with the 4th and i grab them then throw them for extra damage thats my trick.

Want to do some cool combos, wanted to make a counter hit if you block at right time, and also wanted a guard break- i coded it but it never works (check homer file to see what i mean)

BTW have reuploaded the demo so it now has intros for episode 3 and a few small tweaks, this will do for the meantime till i get ur sounds etc Beastie

You should check this link out for some good sprites - http://www.spriters-resource.com/pc_computer/SimpsonsDoom/index.html

Still working on sounds when I can, has taken some time to gather stuff and play test. Give you the updated version soon.

( and these in case you dont have already - http://www.spriters-resource.com/arcade/simpsons/index.html)

yeah when i was going to use original arcade sprites i was going to try and use the simpsons doom characters, but dont think they will work now with the current sprites etc.

[BeasTie]

Here's the updated one, there's sfx for all players, mutants and mr burns. Plus some new music.

Mr Burns bloodburst attack works now (you just forgot to load the model in burns.txt)

(check attachment for download)

Bart's sounds are still lacking a little, compared to the others, but you should be able to work it out form here (just copy how I've done randomsound. 

Just remember when you use randomsound script, there's 2 functions randomSound and randomSound2, one is for 3 sounds one is for 6.  You must always use 3 or 6 sound you can't have less than 3 or 6.  So if you only have 4 sounds, then add the blank sound file null.wav as extras.

OpenBoR can also be picky sometimes if you dont type it as randomSound with the uppercase S, and crash with no warning message.

Thanks man i have updated my current version of my game and reuploaded here. 

The doom chars are decent size and i guess they could work for a bonus game mode. need a way to restrict his bullet amount or something, maybe give him some special bullets, will look at your old doom bor mod for inspiration (but I need to finish main story first)

Has anyone played the demo ?

What are your thoughts ? any feedback ?

Im also adding a bonus tournamnet mode so check that out. Its a bit rough at the moment but you will get the idea. If i knew scripting maybe i could do some cool stuff

[BeasTie]

oh yeah i forgot about Moe, I just added him so you could test the sprites out. The simpsons doom sprites are probably better off as enemies.

 If you're playing a game or mod, that's great trick!
However, if you're making mod, you need to think outside the box IOW why don't you make shorter combo with greater damage?
 Really, with multiple playable characters, you can make various characters for instance Homer have shorter combo but he deals big damage.
