I actually have to argue against using the Elecbyte (It only has one T btw). Since FFC came out with that template i have fielded a larger than normal number of STUPID problems and they have all been caused by that. The most common of which is "I added a sprite or line of code and now my character doesn't work" You remove the lines, it works again, sometimes it's as simple as a single trigger.

This is not a global fault, it is fine for a large number of people but fixing those faults is illogical and standard practice simply doesn't apply. Sometimes removing anim 5300 will resolve it, if not then you're boned and actually have to start again from a different template.

If you must start from a template, use KFM and strip out the important bits. That's pretty easy to do and "template" is just a way of saying "Cut down character" as far as FFC is concerned. KFM is a template, but he's one without bugs that won't randomly screw you over for no reason.

Listen man my video served its purpose and thats all that matters

I hear what you sayin and im aware already you have a Gripe with FF template and all but those are details an experienced creator whos been in the game for a hot while to notice. Ive created two characters and never had problems how you pointed out when using that template. only time i had a crash if i screwed up a code badly or screwed up my palette!!!!!! *hint hint*

My video's mission was to show folks who keep asking me on the matter about transparency issues, Palette issues or dont have a clue how to take individual sprites from sprite sheets, preparing them properly to pcx format and inserting them into FF properly. Ive completed that mission

As for me misspelling Elecbyte..blah.. i already know i did . i didnt spell check my video entirely . stop paying attention to stuff like that man. Folks know what i meant, so for now it will be ELECTBYTE player until i get ready to fix it .... jk jk

But seriously though not everybody uses KFM or cares to even though they know thats a fact. CVG mugen has their template. KFM has his and i guess..er...um..i was showing them how to start their own?


I JUST HOPE MY VIDEO SERVED ITS PURPOSE and i felt good helping in that area.....thanks again Cyanide

Sometimes the transparency doesn't work well and u have to make sure is on the right place.

We need to open the PCX sprite image again with GIMP, then we go to "colours" once there we go to "Map" then we go to "reorder map of colours", when u go in there u'll see the whole complete list of your PCX sprite colours.

Now u have to make sure the transparency (Pink or green or whatever colour u choose for transparency effect)  is on the first place cuz if he's not u just must drag it to the first place when u done press ok and now save the PCX sprite again.

That's all and works with every PCX sprited image. 

This Mini tuto is just in case of transparency problems.   

And once again nice Vid tuto man, very helpful for me cuz i want to start with my own char one of this days.
