Source Changes & Demo

Lord_Ball · Post by **Lord_Ball** » Wed Sep 01, 2004 6:54 am

Unfortunately this is DOS only at the moment, I wanted to test my source changes before applying them to the DC source.

Source changes include:
Certain enemies are no longer grabbable
2 different play modes: Mode 1 - Payers CAN'T attack each other & Mode 2 - Players CAN attack each other (check under options)
Modified HP bar

I looked at possibly adding four-player mode but realized that would've been beyond my ability at this point.

I forgot to mention I added two new subtypes
The "notgrab" for ungrabbable enemies - actually did mention this but eh
and "arrow" which is like the bike, except it "flies" in one direction then "dies" off screen - as if an arrow is shot at the players.

Here is my edited source for those who care
DOSsource

EDIT: Oh yeah and both players can no longer be the same character.

I haven't decided if I'll have any secret characters If I do there'll probably be 2 (one for each player). There will be 5 standard character to choose from at the start so there shouldn't be any need for the same characters anyway.

Not to mention I feel having "twins" run around would take away from the story (as the series it's based off of has no "twins").

It works for me... So I don't know what's wrong

See if you can go here

File is Demo.exe

DC Version is now up GPDemo.exe

All are self extracting archives for those who have trouble with winrar.

Anything specific? I made the changes I knew I wanted (which is why there is no same player option) implemented for my mod, perhaps other people's ideas would be a nice addition.

and because nobody around here likes anything without pics

The option screen displaying the "mode" option (mode 2 is the default)

Character select screen

look at those pretty multi-color life bars

it would be great if you could make it use more of the 256 colours at once, i had having to downgrade my characters using the bor palate

When i download GPDemo.exe i get a 2k file that opens a dos prompt and nothing happens. (you say it's a selfextracting rar) what's wrong?

Lord_Ball · Post by **Lord_Ball** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 8:50 am

ok this is messed up! I can download it just fine (not be logged into the account), and it should be almost 5MB and have a GPDemo.cdi file inside. Here is a standard RAR maybe that'll help http://fire.prohosting.com/ltb048/cgi-bin/DCTest.rar

the pc version download works fine for me, so does the first dc version link you posted.

vicviper74 · Post by **vicviper74** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 10:01 am

Well all new mods done by king herb and kungpow. and Zenmanflying are using an edited pal of 256 colors edited by Mr. zenman. I wish I could go back and do my xmen the same way but that would take a very long time. and its to late to restore those colors lost in translation so go get the xmen vs streeetfighter mod or megaman x mod and take the pallete its well made. So peace seeya!!

Hey thanks for letting me know that m8.

Lord_Ball · Post by **Lord_Ball** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 12:57 pm

if you use Photoshop to save your your gifs it's rather easy to edit the pallete as needed just in the save/load palette screen select a close or unused color then go over to your picture and click the color that you want it replaced with. After rereading that I think I made it sound complicated! - yes my mod uses an edited palette also.

that's good to know thanks!

its hard to find the colours i want, plus if i go change colours with one character, i might end up needing it again for another

, my mod is going to have a lot of characters.

Lord_Ball · Post by **Lord_Ball** » Fri Sep 03, 2004 3:50 pm

One thing you could do is replace all colors with black or (any single color) then slowly replace them with new colors that work with your characters that way you know exactly which colors are being used.
