There's a lot you need to improve on. The floor, the background, and maybe some characters. What format do you use for characters? PNG, GIF, or JPG? The character colors look messy. The background looks off when it's cut. The floor is over the characters there, so you may need to use the floor as panel because it overlaps. Also, you may need to fix the background by probably using the bglayer probably for separating some backgrounds.

Now that I see the screenshots...you should definitely use 640x480 resolution for this.  That's how you fix your image quality problem.

640x480 plombo?Do you mean pc resolution or image?IM using GraphicsGale and put images in 256? Can you explain where i need to adjust the resolution image Plombo? :)

It's all in preference. Personally, I'd have no problem using downscaled hi-res characters, but that's just me.

Anyways. Like the others said, you definately need better stages there. Why don't you try using the ones from the PS2 HnK game? Here, I made a stage background for you... assembled it using one of the sprite packs floating around the net. It's Kenshiro's/Mr. Heart's stage from the PS2 game.

WOW,Thank you very much NickyP,ill definetly focus on this stage,what tool do you use to edit ur stages to look like bor stages?!working on the mod "WIP" :cheers!:
Title: Re: Hokuto no ken
Post by: NickyP on July 29, 2010, 01:21:38 am
MSPaint. I put the stage together, saved it, then flipped it upside down, set the y to 244, then flipped it upside down again. That's how I did it.  ;D

Did you remove the # infront of video? Because right now, your video.txt has the video command commented out.

I think there're already some sprites available of Hokuto No Ken.I don't know where you get the sprites but they look more pretty and neat than I saw in you MOD.And I don't think 640*480 is the proper resolution.

(http://i3.6.cn/cvbnm/52/8c/cb/07208fb3bb84c5e70cf851876150c654.gif)

You need to set it to 800*600.
If you're using graphic scaling I suggest you'd better stop doing it.
Title: Re: Hokuto no ken
Post by: BALDOGON on July 30, 2010, 02:40:32 am
800x600?but where do i implement that? can someone show a video txt script of where to put this resolution 800x600? :-[

You have it like this:

You are supposed to have it like this:

Now, make it video 2, and you'll see the screen size is bigger the next time you play the mod.

Hi everyone,im still having trouble fixing my sprite,cuz there looking choppy. Is the a program for me to make my character graphics clear and not choppy!!
any software beside GraphicsGale Which is not working for me unless im doing something not rite?
HELP Please?! :eek: :eek: :eyebrow_action:
Title: Re: Hokuto no ken
Post by: Plombo on July 30, 2010, 09:41:21 pm
800x600 and 640x480 don't improve your graphics automatically.  Using them removes the need to make your sprites smaller.  Making the sprites smaller is what's making them lose quality.

Also, I've never heard of GraphicsGale.  I use GIMP to manipulate images.
Title: Re: Hokuto no ken
Post by: BALDOGON on August 01, 2010, 02:14:38 pm
Hi everyone,just wanting to share my progress on my mod! ;D
So far,i managed to downsize Hi-res Kenshiro a little with the help of Plombo for helping with GIMP(which is way better than GrapgicsGale), NickyP,kmilloz,maxman,Bloodbane and everyone in here for there support!Also,Big thx again to NickyP for the stage he provided for this mod!! :cheers!:

Please feel free to any ideas or improvement!
And again Big thx to ALL!! ;D
You can see the improvements here!
Now and Before!!

It is recommend that you use 16-bit colour depth.

If you want use 8-Bit, you need to understand what is a colour table or palette.

As for size scaling, I recommend -50% or +50%.

Below is the example of image reduction (12.5%) from 100% to 50%.

 BALDOGON has entrusted me to work on his mod so I'll be updating this thread.

 Not much to show yet aside of this shot below. I use high resolution cause Hokuto no Ken sprites are big and fit that resolution. I have fixed couple basic stuffs to suit that resolution.

 Anyways, time to show screenshots without using attachment:

 This is Kenshiro performing rapid jump kicks, he doesn't fall while doing this FYI:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN12.png)

 This is Jaggo shooting at Kenshiro:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN11.png)

 2 regular enemies, Jager (performing knee strike) and Bull (ready to smash):

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN10.png)

 This is Lollipop with his earthquake attack. Suitable for 1st stage boss. Oh the name is from fat enemy from Violent Storm.

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN9.png)

 The background for above shots are ripped from 5th stage of Undercover Cops for arcade BTW. Fits perfectly to this mod :).

 This is Baatu, enemy which is inspired by 1st boss of Gekido Advance:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN8.png)

 if you have played that game, you'll understand how tough this enemy is ;).

Do you really resize them with any of the Photoshop program? Or is the resize scripted using numbers in coding? I just don't seem to understand how it works.

The attachment image is resized with Adobe Photoshop CS3.

As for drawmethod, you can reduce the size (32) from 256 to 128.

 Well I hope I don't disappoint you cause I never watched Hokuto No Ken before.

 Anyways, it's time for update, to add regular enemies, I brought this mini guy:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN13.png)

 He's small so players must use low attacks to hit him.

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN15.png)

 Don't worry, he won't have many HP because of this.

 Mamiya's has been made. I think I should add more moves to her but at least she's available:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN18.png)

 She can shoot both on ground and in mid air:

 Jaggo vs Mamiya ;D :

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN19.png)

Anyhow here a few shots of an update title screen and stage i edits and still improving..
Backgrounds seems a little chopy but making good progress on smoothing that down... :)

When you go on GIMP make sure the pink color is the first color in the palette, sometimes it can be hard to tell, like if there are more then one set of pink colors in the palette sometimes you can set the wrong one. On the drawing tools section of GIMP, the toolbar that shows up on the left of GIMP, there should be a color chooser. When you check your pallete, touch that chooser onto the pink color and look at your palette to see if that's the color selected and make sure it's first. Good job so far by the way. If you need anymore help let me know because I use GIMP alll the time.  ;)
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: maxman on August 26, 2010, 05:05:11 am
+1

Like what imaninja said, BALDOGON. You need to the pink color to the first place (top-left corner) of the color table.

You can widen your frontpanel pic to match your own resolution. It needs/has to match it in order to fit it in.

I don't know if th has already been pointed out, but the background somehow doesn't quite feel right.... I think it's color hue...

having said that, as long as at some point Iget hear Kenshiro say "you are already dead", I'll be happy.

How about using option 3 = 720x480 for resolution ?Maybe it would be better  for this.From video i see that walking anim is too slow,velocity is ok but delay is too slow.This is first hires mod ?
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: elliott20 on August 26, 2010, 10:38:14 am
no wait, I think I know what's going on with the background there.

The art style of your characters are very clean and crisp, but your background there seems like it was a screen cap from the original anime, which was not exactly shot in the highest quality and the colorization seems a little subdued compared to the rest of the characters.

maybe?

Kenshiro is missing some frames especially for dodge, I think.

 Kenshiro doesn't have dodge ability so it must be other animation.

Quote
Jeager's knee attack is missing his attack flash. Look at 0:53 or 0:54 to observe.

 Where? the flash is shown here.

 The background looks great however the sky behind breaks everything. The sky is not tileable giving split impression.
 Send the background set to me and I'll do something about that.

 BTW I think this background needs to be edited to allow wider playing area and to avoid walking on back like this.

Post by: Bloodbane on September 05, 2010, 07:18:19 pm
Phew, fixing that desert background is harder than I thought. The ground is too narrow forcing me to widen it. The sky is just untileable so I had to resort to mirror trick, which I'm trying to avoid. Oh well.

 Anyways, aside of that here are some shots of Rei:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Rei02.png)

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Rei03.png)

 You can also see the fixed desert background there.
 Hmmm... Rei performs his special attack in each shot. In this next one, he's blocks:

 Oh yes, there's also Zangief as regular enemy.
 Now, here's another enemy:

Rags:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN21.png)

 These guys is similar to Hollywood in Final Fight which tosses molotov then leaves. Here, Rags tosses matches and set the ground on fire. IOW avoid the fire or stop him before he tosses.
 These guys appears in group.

 Kenshiro and Mamiya has new move:

Nunchaku:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Kenshiro01.png)

Bomb:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Mamiya01.png)

 Mamiya tosses bottle to air then shatter it to drop small bombs which hurts enemies.

 We could release demo with current progress but the presentation is really bad ATM. We need better fonts, title, opening scenes etc.

The low-res desert background clashes with the hi-res sprites.  How about scaling the background with hq2x (http://code.google.com/p/hqx/downloads/detail?name=hqx-1.0-mingw-win32-bin.zip&can=2&q=) instead of nearest-neighbor filtering?

Zangief looks cool with the hi-res sprite(s)! I thought he was sprited from scratch for this HnK mod. Was he taken from Street Fighter HD? I wonder. Sorry for late reply.

Thx maxman,im glad you like it!wish i could have used the audio with recording,im using CamStudio to record straight out of the desktop but no luck adjusting in option in that program...any other software recording you recommend to record on desktop with audio?the music and effects kick butt!! :)
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: maxman on September 09, 2010, 08:29:53 am
Same as you, I have CamStudio too. I turned on the sound and recorded one of my videos, but it sounds crappy when I hear the recording of my tapping on the keyboard while playing my own. So I think I end up going back to no audio. That sucks for me! :P But I may be ok with it.
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: Bloodbane on September 11, 2010, 08:30:07 pm
 Cool lightning effect! How did you make it?

 BTW did you use cheat or something before recording video? I didn't set mpcost for nothing you know :).

 I can see that you edited Heart and Kenshiro so they have blood splat in their PAIN and FALL. I believe you shouldn't do this cause the blood will have conflict with remaps. Moreover, the blood animation will be stuck to PAIN and FALL so it's best to use hitflash or other way to spawn the blood splat.
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: BALDOGON on September 12, 2010, 12:20:26 am
Well the mpcost was just changed for my testing,once done it will be implemented again.
Also i do agree with you Bloodbane of changing the blood slat in there pain and fall due with conflicted with remaps.I've also noticed that you used hitflash which looks better than my splat,so i think i will go that direction,so a little info in that hitflash would get me going with this please.. :)
As for the lightning effect,i just use the drawmethod on image an put the image folder in the chars/misc folder.Glad you like the stage.More stages are being installed and done as of now..Big thx for the imput bloodslat!! :cheers!:
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: Bloodbane on September 14, 2010, 05:41:35 am
 hitflash changes the flash shown when attackbox connects.

Example:

Quote
        hitfx   data/sounds/slash.wav
        hitflash blood2
   attack  198 160 125 63 15 0 0 0 8

 hitfx is another command usually used together with hitflash. Not a must since each can be set alone. They are usually used together cause different hitflash also means different hitfx.

 blood2 is alternate flash, to make one simply make a copy of flash.txt and change the names and used frames like this:

Quote
name   Blood2
type   none
toflip   1

anim idle
   delay   6
   offset   18 180
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood11.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood12.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood13.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood14.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood15.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood16.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood17.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood18.png
   frame   data/chars/misc/flash/blood19.png

 As you can see, it's similar to flash.txt but different name and frames.
 And like any entities in the mod, it must be LOADED in models.txt.

Quote
# Flashes
...
load   Blood2      data/chars/misc/flash/blood2.txt
...

 HTH :)

 Hmmm.... that reminds me, maybe I should make basic tutorial for this.

Great info Bloodbane! I will try this method with feels intreeged to implement and test. :)
Also made image and sound adjustmants to the mod as well as implementing my story line!
will upload a video 1st soon!

As for tutorials? I think that would be a Huge help to other interested in this idea or should i say Bloody Technique! ;)

Time for another update in action, added for stages and gave this mod a good facelift!

Nice vid there Baldogon.

You stay true to the Fist of the North Star style with the exploding enemies too.

I also liked the light effects for the lightening and there were some cool usages of shadows as well in your video of this mod.

I have a suggestion for your character select screen, it would look better if the character you are choosing was aligned with the ground that the rest of the characters in the background are standing on.  This can be done by using the p{#}smenu command.

Good stuff!
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: BALDOGON on September 17, 2010, 02:08:40 am
Hmmmm, interesting idea. Tell me more about this p{#}smenu command!! :)
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: lbf on September 17, 2010, 02:17:05 am
That command must be used in the levels.txt file.  Here is some more info about it:

p{#}smenu {x1} {y1} {x2} {y2}
~Determines the position of players in select screen.
~ {#} determines which player this setting is for and its possible values are 1, 2, 3 and 4. There's no space around {#} though.
~{x1} and {y1} determines player's position.
~{x2} and {y2} determines player's "Ready!" position.
~ x and y are the number of pixels, right and down respectively, from the top left corner of the screen to the player's offset (for x1 and y1) or to the top left corner of "Ready!" text.

Straight from the openbor manual:  http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.php/Main/OpenBoRManual (http://www.dreamcast-scene.com/index.php/Main/OpenBoRManual)
bookmark it!  Trust me that page will be your best support for modding.

 I do the work and he gets the credits :(

 That reminds me, I forgot to change the explosion for the midgets. They are still using regular body explosion on death which is not right considering their size.

 Anyways, about the video, nice backgrounds, where did you get them?
 I can see that you set different z for new stages but you forgot to fix the enemy spawns. The z coordinate set in levels I made for you was based on zmin and zmax setting just for that background. The effect of this is some enemies are spawned outside playing area, you can see this in mine stage in which 2 enemies appear out of nowhere. Their presence can be detected from their shadow.

 The boat level is way short compared to original level that's why Abobo appears right after the 1st group of enemies are cleared. You really need to fix the level spawns Baldogon.

 Last but not least, how come there's no my name in the intro?

Hi again everyone, first of i would like to apoligize to Bloodbane for not giving him majority of this mods credit and i do apologize.Im very sorry.! Bloodbane has offered to help me on this mod and i am honored to be working with him,hes been working real hard on majority of this mod for me and a very great job he has done.Again this is my first mod and im just doing a few stages,music and story for this mod and still learning as well as a few tweaks here and there with a guidence of Bloodbane. Also as you all notice thru out this post my stages havent been accurate in some way and i first than anything would like to thank again on Bloodbane for correcting my mistakes and a few members as well.As for the z coordinates,well this mod is still in W.I.P. I just changed a few things just to test a few stages and hopefully after adding a few stuff Ill be sending this update mod to Bloodbane to get his approval!
Stages?I got them from a mugen source with permission of course..Boat stage is correct,to short i plan to utilize this stage with story line with Kenshiro leaving the land to go the that island of "Shura" which is based on the anime series!would like to add rock1 on the boat stage to see it rock in the sea.I plan also to put enemies outside of boat to jump on boat to fight player or players.i eliminated the spawn on that stage to limit the size of boat but again,its only a test until i can add aditional stage to boat!
Again everyone my Apologies if i made this post looking like i did it alone,which i didnt,Ive been with this forum for about almost three years and have always respected everyone amazing work and give credit where credit is due!So with out further a do,i hope everyone is enjoying these updates and ideas are always welcome! And for Bloodbane for doing a tremendous great job on this mod!! :cheers!:

 So what's the whole story then? sorry never watched the anime before so I have no idea how it would be.

 That's doable but you might need either extra enemies or extra spawn animation for enemies.

Contortion would require sprite editing, yes, but expanding and compressing can be done by changing the drawmethod.

 I don't know about that Plombo, from the video clips, the contortion, compression and expansion are partial not whole body so I don't think, drawmethod can be used.

 Anyways, 4th playable character is ready, he is Toki:

 I would have given title to these shots except for the 1st one if I know the name of the moves.

 I'm going to make more regular enemies cause it's getting boring beating same ones over n over.

Hi everyone, Just a heads up to everyone here, i have decided to delay my mod's release date for at least another 1month, due to myself and Bloodbane are still making adjustments to this awesome game..
New Features have been added and were implementing as much effect and detail to this mod to make it as close as to it is in the ova series, plus 80,s tv series.....

Good News: This mod will be a three part series, making this mod 1 0f 3.
Due to storyline being pretty deep and long..
We will keep you updated. :)

Hi everyone, since i have delayed my mod for another month, i thought i show a few laughs of Fist Of The NorthStar Bloopers i deleted from the mod, sorta like a comic book mini comedy.
I was going to add it in the mod as extra feature but i figure since my mod is delayed, i throw a little laughter on the post!

Great job on those enemies edits Bloodbane w/stages bro!! :)
I also have made more stages with story, all stages in full motion detailed as well as cut scenes!! :wave:
NOTE:Characters are being tested through stages until finally done . :time_check:
This dessert stage is where kenshiro will start his journey right after he got a beatdown by shin and jagi pummel him over a cliff, Ken starts his pursuit to find jagi!Motion here is sandstorm!
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1114_dy8kc/5.png)

This stages is part of a long level stage that leads to Casandra where kens brother toki is being held captive by his older brother Roah!that leads also to a temple as you see in this pic below with a suprising mid boss???(wont spoil) :)
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1115_fzlla/6.png)

This stage is really cool,when you see this stage in motion, it really is acid rain w/lightning which characters n enemies lose health as you go through this tough stage. "time is crucial"
You can also see smoke coming up from ground due to the acid rain(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1116_ycm95/12.png)

This stage surounds around the tower of Casandra, where toki is being held.the motion in this stage is alot of wind! :)
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1127_hbgxt/13.png)

This is at the top of temple,right before the battle of mid boss,"wait and see who it is"...hehe.. ;)
this scene reminds me of a fimiliar castlevania everyone loves, motion is moving clouds.
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1128_bjuxm/17.png)

This cave is located in the mountain caves of the main base of the evil fang clan[which enemies sprites still in final stages]...motion in stage is outside rain and flying bats! :)
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1129_cqiei/19.png)
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1130_739vf/20.png)

This is here stage will be where ken battles all the Fang clan and Boss!
Motion in stage will be flames and lightning! :)
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1131_ywuzr/21.png)

This is a all out motion cut scenes through out the volume-1 mod with English voices,no still images, all movie scenes..
(http://www.myimagespace.com/thumbs/large/1132_sciau/7.png)
hmmmm....hint:where did ken get that cool bike??? ;)

 After the moves are perfect, it's time to add some effects like this:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Toki05.png)

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN32.png)

 For those who don't know, the opponent in 2nd shot is Shin. There are other characters with effects like this but I won't show them.
 Rei has 3rd special now:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Rei05.png)

 Unlike the original move, Rei perform this move in mid air instead of from ground.

Yes sounds great, yeah rather take your time, take as long as you need, I'm sure we can all wait a bit longer. I know BB is kind of a perfectionist so he'd want it that way.

This is a video of my 99% done mod of openbor's Fist Of The NorthStar!
This is just the intro story leading to its game play events.Cinema will be actually games moving movie screens w/english audio and english subtitle.Once i get a good desktop recorder w/audio ill release another video.Far from that i have tweaked this baby up and ill give it one more round of play before release.
Note: Sorry for not implementing the audio,the software i use to record on my desktop sucked...
By the way my gameplay sucked here as well as im just trying to do so many thingss here.
But rest assure the mod has lots of combos and special moves thanx to the Mighty Bloodbane!Enjoy!!

"Hey Maxman, does this video answer your request"??

Yeah. I guess that's the one, but I didn't think I was requesting. I was giving you an idea about using it, it's because you said you were gonna make the cutscenes like any movie like you add voices from the FOTN shows. That's what I heard, so this made me give you an idea about it.

I don't think my CamStudio is good. Just like yours. I'll PM you.
Title: Re: Fist Of The NorthStar
Post by: BALDOGON on January 18, 2011, 05:03:13 am
Sorry about that,meant your idea,but yes it is movie anime cut scenes with enlgish voices with english subtitle.
Cool maxman,ill upload a recent video once i get a good relyable desktop recorder, was using camstudio but no audio,the one it has are awful...
i use for this recent video,"my screen recorder 3.1 buut again no audio.So im using this one called fraps which has it but cant seem to get the rite side of screen with doesnt have 640x480..
Any way if you have or find one great,pm me...thx bro. :)

I think you should be more patient with this MOD, don?t push Baldogon beulk, he said already that the MOD will be released sooner as possible, the things made quickly don?t have good results, take your time Baldogon I?m waiting this MOD, nothing personal beulk.

Hey. Cool down your temper. Take it easy and please, be patient. I can see you're run out of patience. I know BALDOGON is working hard on this project. You can't expect anyone to rush their work. The more they rush, the crappier the mod looks. He's done (according to his sig), but he's testing his mod to make it look perfect. Taking time is what makes it perfect, but rushing makes it look bad and ugly. I hope you don't repeat this. Just wait for the news from BALDOGON. He'll give us updates. ;)

You have done almost nothing but spam threads (http://lavalit.com:8080/index.php/topic,255.msg69654.html#msg69654) since arriving here, you have been asked nicely to stop, and my patience with it is running out. I'm issuing you a warning (http://lavalit.com:8080/index.php/topic,888.msg39798.html#msg39798). If you respond in any way or post in a thread again about "more news" it's a mute instead.

 Okay, here are the screenshots:

Mamiya's Yoyo:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Mamiya03.png)

 She can throw double yoyo as shown here and yes, she catches them when they fly back at her :). Also, if somehow she failed to catch, the yoyos will simply fly away.
 Baldogon asked me to give character's effects when special move is performed so here it is:

Mamiya:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Mamiya02.png)

Rei:

Kenshiro:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/Kenshiro02.png)

 Of course, bosses have this too like this guy:

Thouther:

(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a177/DBloodbane/Fist%20of%20North%20Star/FotN33.png)

 The hyper background or what do you call it, is missing. It would have been cooler if I could add it too.

Can't find the game, but seems very interesting.

Perfect move to put a character snobbed by the games like Shu.
Are others snobbed character planned? Colonel and Devil Rebirth have very cool features (one can foresee your moves, the other is a giant stronger and faster than Kenshiro and can be defeated only with tactics) but they never been made in a Hokuto game.

I dont believe it, IMO if people show that they waiting for mod then it motivates creator to work on it more and if nobody gives a damn about his mod then its higher probablility that he will drop it quickly
Its important to support modders, its because of lavalit people and comments i finished fightin spirit so fast and added more chars.

I understand the pain of waiting.
And I also understand the pain of loss in HDD, BALDOGON.
I think the reason why Tiger's said that just because he's been expecting this Mod so badly.
Good luck with your Mod and real life Baldogon.

Maybe baldogon use many scripts. so they can make much problems & bugs. So this mod testing taking a long time.

Gosh, was that necessary tiger? Or whoever you are...As D.C.would say and already did tiger, Goodbye!

As for everyone's concerns well this mod is delayed due to me losing 20% of my work on it on my old corrupted hdd (yes volcanic i feel the pain) but as of then, i and Bloodbane have been hard at work replacing and completed this first chapter Mod!!(YES, FINISHED). Still, all it needs is a run through Making sure it runs ok and no mistakes! I take it very serious when it comes to modding, quality, control and no let up to gameplay! You wont be disappointed!
I'll have screen shots soon! :)

P.S. To whom it may concern, this mod is NOT cancelled.

Maybe another reason is BALDOGON making other mods while testing this mod.

※ BALDOGON, Do you use scripts in this mod like other guys?

Nozomi: yes, mostly scripts for characters and movie scenes!! :)
