First Time Character Creator needs assistance.

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

Hey guys! I finaly decidied to start creating my first ever character for Mugen. Its goin' to be Mortal Kombat's Rain. I plan on doing all the other ninja's, but I figured Rain would be the first of them.

I just need some help getting started. I have his character sprites, but I don't have or can't find enough of the projectile sprites I need to be complete secure to start using Fighter Factory. Not to metion thisi s my first time using FF as well. Just need  lil support and hands on asistance.

Rain will be made either in SvC (or something similar) or/nd MvC style, but would prefer if you guys made the choice. I cn't decide which style to use first.

[JDubbs]

Im now excited for this one. You're inspiring me to learn create. You should do it MVC style

[MaverickZr0]

MK chars should stay MK play style imo.

You have a good point. I was just looking at the way the MK vs SF3 Chameleon plays and it wanted to incorporate some of that style into making these ninjas off right. I want to give them a Capcom feel ause I"ve always had ideas fro them all. Anyone out there willingto help me out with this one?
Post Merge: August 03, 2009, 07:32:36 PMSo anyone out there could lend me a hand on this project? I"m not sure how to get started besides the obvious.

Still looking for some assistnace with making a character. The tutorials are starting to be straight forward, which is a good thing, but now I"m haveing trouble find the sprites I need for the MK ninjas. Mainly their projectile sprites. I found MO's Chameleon and he has all the ones that are vital to my characters and I can't find where he may have gotten them or how to contact him. Any words of wisdom or any assistance someone can help with?

was it refering to Binho´s Styled MK Chars?

was it refering to Binho´s Styled MK Chars?

No. Athough, Binho's ninja's were really great creations, he also only created SubZero, Scorpion and Reptile, I'm ollowing a different path by using sprites from MKT to create all of the ninja's including Tremor, Slash, Chameleon and I finally decided to throw in Hydro into the mix. Im still currently working on Rain, but I want a final decision on which style to use before I start choosing which template to use.

P.S. - Does anyone know where to find Binho's Reptile? Its not on his website at all and I've loked everywhere for him. If anyone can send me a copy I'd be grateful to whomever has Reptile.

Reptile's still a W.I.P by Bihno.

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

Really? I wonder how long Binho's Reptile has been a WIP so far? Ive seen him in a coupl of videos. He's really good!

But I"ve got a maximum of 10 votes s far for MvC stlye MK ninjas. I"m almost convinced this is the style to go with. I"m looking at the sprites figuring out how to come up with a crouching LP, jumping LP, MP, HK and its a lot of work. I feel like it may take some sprite editing which I really have no clue on how to do at all.

It's been a W.I.P for quite a while now  , hope It gets released soon .

And if you don't know how to do sprite editing maybe ask a few people who knows how to edit, there are also some great editing tutorials for sprites out there 

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

Gettin' ready to fire up the FF and start creating. It looks like MvC style will be implimented into the MK ninjas. I"ll do SvC later on after they are all created. So, now I"m gonna finally start throwing in the sprites and see if I can really get this character into the making.

So this is my first attempt last night to just to see if I got things right and unfortunately, you guys were right. This is definitely not as easy as it looks. I wanted to see if I could at least get his fighting stance into place, but by the looks of the image I messed up somewhere.


Any comments on how to fix this or some helpful assistance through this journey to creating MvC Rain?
Post Merge: August 24, 2009, 07:23:02 PMI was told by DARKTALBAIN that "You need to re align the sprites so he is on screen . Then you have to convert the sprites into pcx files or fix the palette."

My sprites were converted, but I"m ot sure what I might've done wrong with the palette and I"m also unsure about realigning the sprites as well. I ould really use some help from everyone here. I"m really lost. The mechanics of making a character sem way more than hands on.

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

So, far its been nearly a month now an still very little progressing going on my first character. Reading the guides I"ve been given to check out and following step by step. I had know idea this was gonna be this difficult. I really could use a walk through. Once I have that, I'll be set.

Still been at i for nearly two months and haven't gotten it down. If there's anyone, anyone at all who takes great joy and creating characters for Mugen and can spare sometime to show a newcommer how to get started, I would greatly appreciate it. PM later on today and hit me up on any of my instant messanger screen names on my profile.

I seriously want to get this perculatin'.
Post Merge: September 30, 2009, 08:07:36 PM"Hi, how's it goin'? I apologize for he inconviece, but for the pass 2 months I've been leaning and askin' around for help on how to create a character for Mugen. So far I've been directed to tools and tutorials that would guide me on my way to my steppin' stone to making my first character.

As I said before, its been 2 months and barely any progress. I just want to ask someone with experience in this area of Mugen that could take the time and patience to show a novice through this process so once I"ve got it down, I can conitnue to provide more creative fighters to the Mugen community's rosters."

IS there anyone out there that can help?

[Fallen_Angel]

I suggest that you check the tutorial section, and any specific question, you ask it here.....or if you want you can pm any question .

[DEMONKAI]

well heres some inspiration from a brazilian mugen team...
If you need it....
(their Scorpion)



and others..






Good luck with the project...

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

  Nice videos! I"m definitely even more motivated to get my character to standards such as those. While working and researching, I was watching fighting styles and these videos have made it clear to me that my ninjas need to be on the cutting edge of something new and unexpected.

That Super Combo unleashed by Scorpion in the first video was absolutely crazy! I gotta do this big and makie it do what it do cause I"m inspired by moves lik that. Rain is gonna be awesome!

Although, I"m still looking for someone who is willing enough to help through the process of creating my first toon. I stil feel clueless to using FF. Things such as the palettes and the alignment are throwing me off when it comes down to it.

Acey already dropped a link to a good tutorial but here it is again if you want it

http://www.infinitymugenteam.com/infinity.wiki/mediawiki/index.php?title=Character_Creation_Tutorial#Step_1_-_Sprites

[UltimateBiosparkJ]

 :)Thanks for the tutorial. I had it downloaded to the system so I can stay on task. Still working things out though. So far I"m just loading in the sprites and I still got this clueless expression on my face.

I"m using the MvC template since the voting seem definitive that the people want a this style to pass. Next issue I"ll use a mix of MKvSF Chameleon's and the style I saw in the first video of Scorpion fighting to do them.

[DEMONKAI]

Anytime on the vids man . yeh a couple years ago i was the same way when i saw those vids also
But yeh JUst wanted to out the extra battery in ya back so you can make it happen . Being different is always cool. Mugen can let your imagination runw wild so go for it.
As for using FF its all trial and error. I use Both Old and New Ultimate fighter factories for different reasons.
Ultimate lets you get a better view of how your effects look in mugen on a preview level as you are inserting the animations.
Plus you can open up about a good 8 or nine characters at once in ultimate in separate tabs lined up for easy access.

The old Factory i use to do most of my main work on. coding and some AIR edits. FF Ultimate has some lil glitches but is still cool to use in its own way.

As for the Collision boxes i had the same issue and ny only method i can tell you is If you have a ton of Mugen characters just choose a very very solid creation of an Author thats really sharp with their coding and animations. and just open up their fighter and look at how it was made and coded with certain things in and out. you cant go wrong. Cuz not everybody is gonna be around to answer your questions.

I mainly study POTS stuff actually. i try get his pattern and learn .

and make sure anything you learned you put in your pcs notepad and save it!
