MVC2 Abyss and Onslaught/Sentinel Updated

[XsLaught]

Abyss v 1.0 with all 3 forms from MVC2 has been released.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z8EOMgRe30#








Abyss (3rd form) uses filtered sprites. The next update will include the rest of the palettes. I wanted to get this out before the month ends. There's some really bad fog sprites that you could probably change. I disabled the fog for form 2 and 3 for that reason. You can enable them in config.txt.

Onslaught has been updated to v 2.2 - 07.30.2009 - Special thanks to Serious Cat for the custom intros.
Sentinel has been updated to v 1.2 - 07.30.2009

All characters have a configuration file to adjust your needs.
The default setting for Abyss is resurrection for Form 1 and 2 with 50% life recovery for P2 with resetting to Form 1 when he loses a round. So you have to win against all his forms twice to win the match. This makes the match more challenging. You can adjust this to how you prefer it.

If the files are too big then you can delete the background music from the .snd file.

Change log for Onslaught and Sentinel:

(click to show/hide)

• Added config.txt
• Added custom intros by Serious Cat
• Fixed Hyper Grav Damager to destroy itself - no more invisible attack when there are no orbs left
• Fixed Onslaught 2nd form continue screen
• Fixed First attack message
• Sentinel's Aerial D+MP is now able to move left/right
• Fixed Time over for Sentinel
• Fixed Time over for onslaught 1 and 2
• Air guard while flying returns Sentinel back to flying state
• Increased Clsn1 box for Hyper Rush
• Dash punch may not always work - I just added a constant velset for vel x. Unsure if it'll fix it
• Fixed hitspark xy for Hyper Mind Blast
• Fixed hitspark xy for Magnetic Tempest
• Fixed hitspark xy for Sentinel SLP, MVC2 SLP, MVC2 SMP, MVC2 SSK
• Made it so Advance Guard should work against small characters
• Fixed it so helpers parents are not destroyed before child.

  - Hyper Sentinel Force
  - Plasma Storm
  - Sentinel Force - Strong
  - Magnetic Shockwave
  - Hyper Grav
  - Sentinel Force - Onslaught
  - Intro/Taunt - Rocks
  - Rensha Beam

• Fixed debug overflow for Helper(20300) (head)
• MVC2 SSK - removed ownpal = 1 from Explods
• Added anti-spam attack. Onslaught's gethit anim threshold increases each time his gethit anim takes place and decreases when he's not in a gethit state
• Removed life point handicap since some character's default life is above 1000.
• Fixed Sentinel's dash back with using 2 punches + holdback so it won't cancel into dash fwd
• Reduced scale of dash explod to 0.5, 0.5
• Removed dash dust from dashs
• Removed dash explod from dash back
• Made it so specials and hypers can be cancelled into regardless of movecontact
• Changed ticks (dimming) of Floor for MSHvSF Apocalypse Now! within onslaught.air from 11 ticks to 13 ticks.
• Adjusted HyperBg so it turns black first then shows the HyperBG.
• Added missing MVC2 HyperBG sound.
• Removed Launch capability of Sentinel's Standing Medium Kick (Grenade Kick).
• Super Jump after launcher can be initiated with holdfwd.
• Added cornerpush to Standing Medium Kick (Grenade Kick) for balance.
• AnimElemNo 24 (start) of punch for onslaught (2nd form) is now guardable
• Added shadowoffset of -1 to Sentinel
• Lowered position of super jump explod to 30.
• Added 2 BG music (1 for each form) - This was a ridiculous request as it increased the .snd file to about 41.9 MB but it makes it more enjoyable.

   - In the case of multiple Onslaughts, player 2 trumps the others. This works if P1 is Onslaught. I don't want to work through the logic for P1 not being Onslaught with team(s) of Onslaught.

• Removed debug overflow for Onslaught (1st Form)'s Hyper Mind Blast
• Alternate command set for Sentinel - so you can use all 6 buttons to do an aerial rave.
• Fixed it so sound 5, 15 (gethit animtype of 3-5) plays for Sentinel
• Aerial advance guard fixed
• Advance guard explod scaled to 0.5, 0.5
• Make bubble win pose match over only
• Hyper Grav orbs no longer can be attacked with any attack to remove them. There was an issue where the Clsn1 box would not reach the gethit Clsn2 box.
• Changed HyperGrav P2 Custom State's AnimExist trigger to SelfAnimExist.
• Realigned Special Dust to 5, -10 instead of 17, -17 and increased the speed of it.
• Fixed Sentinel Throw bug against Super Armor opponents
• Improved resurrection code slightly - Bigger Clsn1 box for Invisible Projectile and uses damage to give life instead of TargetLifeAdd.
• Added a failsafe code incase Onslaught (2nd Form)'s Dash punch does not reach BackEdgeDist for certain stages.
• You can now press F1 to KO Onslaught. He recovers life in training mode.
• Onslaught (2nd Form) now can stay off the screen.
• Sentinel's Bubble Win Pose should work with other Sentinels not by me. It still won't work with Sentinel by me.
• Added option for timer freeze.
• Var(50) no longer persists. Form changes rely on Var(51).
• Added ending for Sentinel by Doorhenge with permission.

I did some last minute changes so let me know if there's anything that needs to be fixed immediately.

Man, I saw this at 2:00 last night over at the guild. Haven't gotten to go with it, but if it's anything like Onslaught, I'm sure he's a success.

[volzzilla]

that is a lot of work on sentinel and onslaught, so thank you for that.

also thanks for the abyss

[sensei_yoda]

this abbys is interesting!

nice work!

[Serious Cat]

It's my intention to complete the rest of the Abyss palettes before the 15th of August. I also hope to have completed the Marvel intros before the end of September. Mind you, these are difficult aspirations, but I'm thinking that I can succeed.

Xslaught is an exceptional creator and a great partner to work with. I'm lucky to be working with him.

[Shibuyah]

Wow XsLaught, you and Serious Cat work well together.
I have a couple things to ask though.

1: Which versions of the MVC/MVC2 characters did you set the dialogue for?

2: Could you send me a blank text box for when the characters encounter Onslaught?
I couldn't find it in Onslaught's SFF, so I just thought I'd ask.

And great work on Abyss, the AI is challenging like in MVC2.

[celobateira]

Wow this Abyss is Huge... a great challenge

So far you're only going to have intros vs characters form the Capcom side of the MvC2 roster except for Amingo and Ruby Heart if I'm correct. (Unless Xslaught did what we mentioned in the other thread.)  The other intros which I have created so far are more or less Easter-eggs against misc Capcom/Marvel characters. Throw Onslaught against everything in your roster, see what comes up.

As far as a blank, I'll see about throwing a blank intro window into the next update, but any custom text characters I'll have to throw into a separate download. I might even make a tutorial to make the intros as accurate to the MvC1 template as possible.

M'kay, I was just wondering whose version of which character had the intro against Onslaught.
I know RedHot's Guile had it, Kong's SonSon...I haven't tested all of Kong's Capcom characters against him yet, but Beximus' characters didn't have the intro.*And seeing that Kong's Jedah had a special intro against him was a pleasant surprise. ^w^*

But anyway, a tutorial sounds cool, it'll come in handy.
Thanks for answering me Serious Cat.

[XsLaught]

The intros should work with any characters named properly. I never get why creators use names that are not the character's name. Ex: Say something like "Creator's name Guile" or "MVC2 Guile". It only makes everything incompatible. You'd probably have to go into their .def files and change their name.

I don't have the time or patience to download every version of a character to check their .def file for their name.

Here are the template files:



BTW there are 2 versions of Cammy's intro I forgot to mention. "If cammy has long sleeves, she's 16 (Cammy16) and works for M. Bison/Vega. If she has no sleeves then she's 19 and works for Red Delta (Cammy19)."

I made them appear randomly.
If anyone does any intros. Send them to me so I can add them.
If anyone has a complete list of character names that would also be helpful to make it compatible with characters.

[Acey]

Wow! It's great what you did with Abyss' 3rd form sprites as well.

Makes me want to spend some time making dialog.

[Worksa8]

We need more well made bosses for Mugen...
Ones like this, not those annoying Super Nes shooter game style bosses xD

[Magma MK-II]

GOOD!

D'Arby the gambler approves these chars!

[Jelux Da Casual]

Both of them are excellent, Sentinel as well.

But for ****'s sake, I can't beat either one!

EDIT: Please, PLEASE, tell me you're working on Apocalypse?

[DARKTALBAIN]

Sentinel has some issues for me . When he does some of those moves where the screen quickly flashes white . Certain ones will make the screen just stay white . The battle continues , but I can't see what is going on . Anyway to eliminate the white flash in general . It is too hard to tell exactly what moves do that since the screen goes white & I never see the move being performed ...

Who was your opponent? Maybe you can increase the number of explods/helpers/etc in your mugen.cfg.
Either that or it may be the computer. How much RAM do you use? He was developed under 1GB RAM. I now use 4GB. The white flash should all have a remove time of 1. They show when a move hits. Are you saying they show before the move hits? I don't recall that ever happening to me but I'll test it out.

Apocalypse will get an update/remake to be complete at some point. He'll be a fast one to do.

I want to try something new for my next character. It'll be similar to how Dragon Claw was developed by rendering 2D sprites from a 3D model with cell shading. I just have to rig some models and perhaps add in details then I'd be set to animate them. I'm interested in either working on Mr. Sinister (XML2), Holocaust (XML2), Samus Aran (SSBM model or brawl), or Mewtwo (SSBM model).

[Acey]

Once you figure out which software you're going to use for your 3d models let me know, I am very interested in such and have tested out a few freewares that just don't do the trick yet.

All four of them need to be made..need more SSB stuff anyways. I figured not a whole lot of people wanted to bother with it..

[Beto]

The Abbys is impressive, congratulations  , I would like to see a juggernaut done with your style and all the blows he has in x-men vs street fight   

[XsLaught]

I'm rigging Samus as we speak. It doesn't guarantee she'll be made. I'm learning as I go.
I'm surprised not many people have tried doing 3D work. In the long run it'll produce smoother animations in hi resolution for a shorter amount of time.




There will be more details (more lines) added later on after I finish learning how to implement bones to the character and animate her.

It happens when I use anyone against him . The white flash shows when the move starts & the screen just stays white . The battle goes on , but the screen stays white , so I can't see what's going on .

I'm talking about the Xbox , so whatever ram the xbox has for xmugen . Is there anyway I can just remove all the white flashes from happening in the coding somewhere ? I think if I do that , it will solve the problem .   

[amarillo002]

XsLaught what program are you using to make samus on 3D??

Try adding this to statedef -2 within -2.st

Code: [Select]

[State -2, RemoveHitFlash]
type = RemoveExplod
trigger1 = NumExplod(7030)
id = 7030


XsLaught what program are you using to make samus on 3D??

3D Studio Max. I watched Reu's video on the making of Dragon Claw and used what he used.
Ink N Paint is the material he used to make 3D models look 2D "cartoony".
If your model has any textures that came with it, you can leave them on but they may look 3D when rendered or you can apply a Cell Shading material/texture to the mesh.

Any 3D software would probably work. I'm just using what Reu used.
I did not make Samus. This is the exact model from SSBM. Samus unfortunately has a lot of details that needs to be added to look like what Reu did. Adding the details involves detaching the polygons to make the outlines.

If I were to work on Mewtwo then there wouldn't be as much details that needs to be added.

[Serious Cat]

Just tossing this out there, I finally got my personal crap outta the way, so I can continue my work on the intros for Onslaught. I don't have a deadline yet because I'm kinda pacing myself. But soon...
