Title: Golden Axe Legend
Post by: Pierwolf on September 06, 2011, 11:37:44 am
Here it is my last game!  :cheers!:
like my previous one, this is a classic remake of the 3 golden axe games from sega genesis/megadrive.

(http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/5879/gal.gif)

here are the specifics:
- all the 7 characters from from golden axe 1-3, each with many different attacks and new, exciting special moves!
- many enemies and bosses from golden axe 1-3!
- alternate routes, bad ending and good ending: choose your path carefully!
- traps, holes and many more dangers awaits you along the way!
- 4 bizzarrian to ride, each with its own attack!
- fill your MP meter and unleash a powerful Magic to destroy your enemies!
- high level of difficulty! this will not be an easy thing!
- possibilities of chain combos with normal/special/Magic attacks!

ATTENTION:
Only works with OPENBOR BUILD 3400 OR SUPERIOR!

Know bugs: if you are hit while riding a bizarrian, you lose all your magic points. i still don't know how to repair this. If someone knows, please let me know it   :(

NEW UPDATE:

- changed very last boss' attacks and patterns (less cheap now).
- fixed boss 4-armed fiend's projectile slower start-up again.
- fixed counter: now it works only if you press the attack button within the first 5 frames after the block.

I guess that is because your bizarrian doesn't have mp or you are using modelflag 1?

Had to make sure this included all the GA characters, and it does, including my man Cronus. As soon as I saw him in your GIF, I decided to grab this. From the looks of it, you did a bomb-a** job on it, so I think I'll like this.  ;D

EDIT:
Played 2 stages. compared to the other GA mods or even the original games themselves, this is nothing short of amazing. You did a real good job wit dis peirwolf, and I look forward to the rest of this mod when I get home.  :yeah!_1:

Finished.

The mod have the touch of Pierwolf but for me dont have the magic of your first pak (I need a second part for yesterday!!!!!!) And is your hard pak.

The best:
- THE RETURN OF THE COOL PINKY SKELETORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love it
- Cool specials moves.
- Good desing.
- Genesis touch.
- Work on psp.

Worst:
- The objects disapeart to soon.
- A BIG BUG. You lost every of your magic points when you are hit by a enemy when you ride a dragon. I finished the game but with this bug I can not use the magic never!!!!!

Post by: Crimefighters2 on September 07, 2011, 05:06:39 pm
So I played it, pretty good game. I really liked how many pits were in the game, no GA mod has had that many IIRC, I still wanted more but still it was pretty cool.

Some nice moves but some of them are a bit hard to do and they don't seem to do that much damage once you pull them off?

I'd also have liked a mp bar for the back attack, one like SOR3 so you don't abuse it. The sword spinning animations are too cool, very Conan!

Also the game can get a bit difficult in parts, single player, so maybe a npc character/powerup would have been nice?

Also like the poison attack, wish it had a lasting effect though, like they're poisoned for at least 2 minutes but still try and attack you while their life bar slowly drains. I didn't like that the fire traps didn't hurt enemies but only my character.

Anyway it's a pretty fun game and I had a lot of fun, played it twice through in one sitting, so my complaints are really just suggestions I don't know if it might have been my obor version? thanks again it's a pretty cool game, well worth the download.

 I agree with this. It becomes even worse when you have to fight enemies with these around :(.

 About the cart ride (whatever you call it), why the playing area is limited? the lower part is inaccessible.

 The 2 new dragons are nice additions, one spews thunder while the other spews poison blow.

 I like the fact that you edited turtle village to make new village. It looks nice!

 Overall, the bad magic system breaks the mood of Golden Axe mod. This mod is just like any beat'm up. Fun though!

I think I found the reason why mp is cleared.

You should write like this:

Code: [Select]
@script
if(frame==1){
    void self = getlocalvar("self");

    changeentityproperty(self, "mp", 0); //Empty MP bar
}
@end_script

Or

@cmd changeentityproperty getlocalvar("self") "mp" 0



Edit*

Perhaps you should try onspawnscript instead, which doesn't require the first frame hack.

I have to say it, you did a magnificent mod of golden axe real good, i played it today and man it was off the hizzy, it got nice graphics, good sounds, great arrange music, alternate routes, and all the characters, enemies, and bosses from all the series of this game. I give you props for making golden axe legend a true 16-bit classic, thanks alot pierwolf, and keep up the nice work.  :cheers!:

Post by: utunnels on September 09, 2011, 01:46:49 am
Just beat the game yesterday using Cragger.

And here's my thought to it:

The sprites and backgrounds are good,  though I think you should replace the cart stage background from GA3 which doesn't look that great.

The character moves are also in good shapes, my favorite are Kain's sword spinning move and Cragger's flying kick. The strange thing is you give Gilius ice magic, which is OK in gameplay wise, but still making me feel weird.

Some flaws:

1. Block (or counter) is pointless IMO, you can block the attacks, but you don't have a chance to counter and the enemy can still land another blow onto you.

2. Grab animation unfinished. I notice you are using idle01.gif for all of the grab animations.

3. Homing projectiles are too hard to avoid. I notice you are using type NPC and subtype chase. The problem is the shot will be forced to be an arrow (type enemy in your case) and use arrow's move pattern. A better solution is use normal shot and script to let it chase the target in z direction, so you can jump over it.  It is just my opinion, if you are intended to use chase then you can ignore it.

4. Projectiles die outside the screen. I spotted several offscreenkill command. The problem is the enemy can't shot projectiles from outside the screen, but you can still hear the sound effect.

5. The last boss is too hard to beat. I don't know if it is just my problem, the best I can do is trading hits with him until he is down.

Post by: Sindor on September 09, 2011, 07:16:26 am
Even if i prefer the arcade gameplay (like golden axe remake from utunnel), your game is great! But it would have been better to fill magic pots a bit better along the game, so we could play with it strategically. Why giving vials + book at the same time? Why giving book at the same time boss appear? (then, just give them lesser HP). I think if u spare vials strategically/better, then your game could gain more interest, same for chars using high level of magic like Tyris.
Sorry for my poor english.

Hey guys, it seems freespecial has a bug.
If you play Tyris you'll notice freespecial2 (udfa) and freespecial3 (fdfa) are the same move, but actually Pierwolf made 2 different moves.

i will think about this, nice idea  ;)

the traps are intentionally done to damage only players, to make the game more difficult.

now please consider i've made this game in a couple of weeks, like Final Fight Gold, so don't expect something complex as Golden Axe Mith (wonderful!).
Just trying to recreate the feelings of my youth! hope you enjoy it anyways! :cheers!:

because it uses the new animation walkoff  and the New models.txt command combodelay, only aviable since version 3400.

 It's unfair. There are better ways than this.

 Yeah, I didn't bother to avoid in the end. I just spam backattack to be safe. This backattack is also the only way to survive bosses' magic.

5. The last boss is too hard to beat. I don't know if it is just my problem, the best I can do is trading hits with him until he is down.

 I hope you are referring to the real one. Yes, the fight is ridicilous, the duo fiend make it even worse. I know you want to make hard battle Pierwolf but there are better ways than this. Oh I said that twice already :).

 I have played this mod again and went to other route. I'm surprised to see the end boss but disappointed after that. Having alternate routes is great but forcing best ending on one route is not good. The different endings should be triggered by other cause such as number of lives spent ;).

 Since you are updating this mod, I suggest these:
1. Change falling rocks' shadow to old shadow command so they show their falling location. Gfxshadow is nice to see but it doesn't show location well for airborne entities
2. Fix the playing area width in cart and set holes on right and left edge instead of wall
3. (I'm surprised noone mentioned this) change how magic works so it allows weak magic spell to be casted with less magic
4. Fix the ship background. That's the worst background I found in the mod

 I have lots of ideas to replace the fire traps but I'll pick one:
 Make a firespawner which spawns the fire right at player. The fire has starting animation before it could burn player giving clue for player to move away. The fire could burn enemies as well though. With this, the chance for enemies to get burned is low but it still poses danger to players.

 As for last boss, obviously you need to remove the fiends and focus more on the boss. Pay attention that the boss is static forcing players to fight only in certain spot to defeat him. With this fact, if the boss continuously spawns fire or explosions close to him, it's enough to give players trouble. No need for backups and no need to scatter explosions on the room.
 You can decide for yourself what attacks the boss will have :) but remember one thing: hard doesn't mean it costs lots of lives, it means it forces player's skill to the limit.

 BTW most suggestions require script so that means you should learn some :).

 Good luck updating the mod  :cheers!: !

This game is just awesome +_+ it have so much of the spirit of the original series, congratz buddy you really did a great enjoyable game =D the only thing I miss is the bird dude D: I ALWAYS wanted to play with him, but Sega never let it happen .-. If I could sugest (looks likes to ask) you would make him selectable =) I think he doesn't have sprites for bizarrians, so you can not allow him to take them :3 anyway, your game is GREAT I love it =) congratz!

Don't want to sound stuborn but that is the character I was talking about Griffon King =)

here are some sprites:

 Hi everybody, here it is a new update:

Quote
  - added counter attack (see the HOW TO).
 - changed character's special attacks and fixed the input (see the HOW TO).
 - fixed shadow in the falling rocks: now they show their falling location, making easy to avoid or block.
 - now bizzarrians attacks are unblockables.
 - boss 4-armed fiend's projectile now has a slower start-up.

 NEW DOWNLOAD LINK (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=XYQLYXZD)
 
 i don't think i will change the fire traps: i like them this way (the cpu always cheat a little!) :P
 
 i'm still thinking about how to make the very last boss less cheap; also i like the idea to show It and the good ending no matter what path the player have chosen, but instead only if the player manage to beat the death lord whitin 50 seconds; otherwise no final battle and the bad ending happens.
 someone knows a script that can make this happens? you know i'm no good at that  :nervous:

 You should try learning script then. This one is piece of cake.

 Oh 50 seconds? can you do it yourself without cheating and spamming specials :) ?

 Back to script, I say it's easy cause the entity which holds the script is simply like this:
Quote
name       BadEnd
type       none

anim idle
@script
    if(frame == 1){
      jumptobranch("BadEnd", 0);
    }
@end_script
   delay   5000 # 50 seconds
   offset   1 1
   frame   data/chars/misc/empty.gif
   frame   data/chars/misc/empty.gif

 Spawn this together with the Death Lord and it will change the next level to BadEnd branch after 50 seconds. No, it doesn't end current level right away, players must finish current one like usual but the next level will be different if BadEnd is activated.

 The level set is, say like this:
Quote
file   data/levels/last.txt  #<--- spawn that entity here
file   data/levels/reallast.txt  #<---- Real last boss here
scene   data/scenes/goodend.txt
end
branch   BadEnd
scene   data/scenes/badend.txt
end

 I hope this is understandable.
