Well, let me start off by saying sup to the community and how the heck are ya! I decide to upload the steady progress of converting this screen pack for metal gear type fans. I will be posting updates as needed but, at my own time frame. This will be a bit different from the previous win-mugen counterpart. It will be more closed to the original but, with some of touches inspired from the other MGS games. I hope not to be long but, make sure it's decent enough to remind you of metal gear. I learned more coding wise from the previous version. Also, some graphical knowledge of rendering designed for mugen. Still there are some things missing I will have to develop to finish this joker.

Title Screen: 95%
Tile screen had to be remade due, to the original animation being captured for lo-res mugen by pots. So I decided to make something just as original in my book but, not taking away from the original concept. The title screen has different images of some of the original cast from the game. They fade in and out on the screen at different times. I believe it to be very neat and smooth. Also you have some data type animation scrolling upward to the left of the screen. Now, my secret adviser told me to keep every thing squarish and the fonts are from the original game also. Still thinking of adding another data type animation to the other side of it.

Option Screen: 100%
Well it's speak for its self, like it's previous counterpart it will have different MGS bg arts to change from. I will have a separate folder with them inside of it. Like having extra gaming art's to look at. Animations are not going to be in that area because I did not want it to be to flashy.

Select Screen: 85%
The select is more original and it's really sweet. I decided the last version was a bit to flashy but, still got the job done. Still this version is more closed to the original concept. Colors and codec designed are pixel correct, I believe thanks to DLC for the link for that. I just had to clean up add re-size a bunch of stuff for it. I decided to go with adding a battery in the top right corner to give it another original feel. Now I must decide on what type of animation to make for when it runs out. The scan lines are set up but, I still have some more to add. The green filter over the player ports is a pain in the butt. Still trying different methods but, now show for now. If someone know of a filter for gimp or Photoshop, let a brother know. Heck even a different method of making it would be nize.

Wow. I gotta say nice work on this, buddy!

Thanks man but, still has way to go.

Metal Gear Resurrected!

It's high time I go ahead and finish this project from last year. I have made minor cosmetics upgrades to the title screen. I'm still trying to figure out how I want to make minor animations for the select screen. The versus screen is complete as of now but, who knows I might have another idea come to mind. The game over still needs some tweaking in that area. Also, I will make a winner screen, if you have any ideas for that. Please fill free to give your input and lets see what happens. Life bars are a cool idea Walt gave me earlier of last year. I have to code them and of course there will be a alternate version for them. Coming to your mugen, near you real soon.

That's so freaking cool man!

@Z.Fair, thanks man.

GrayFox · « **Reply #6 on:** March 03, 2012, 12:33:28 AM »

Select Update!

I managed to get the green trans effect around the inside port border. Also I also got the scan-lines to work right, they moved downward. I might change there appearances but, I don't know. It was a pain figuring out the coding to make it work just right. The codec bars have been brighten a bit as well. Much more soon to come, so stay tuned

OLD!

NEW!

Happy to see progress on the MGS pack. Looks great.

GrayFox · « **Reply #8 on:** March 04, 2012, 05:24:01 PM »

Thanks man, soon it will be alive again for 1.0 for sure.

SanjiSasuke · « **Reply #9 on:** March 04, 2012, 08:32:41 PM »

I know it would be on a portrait-to-portrait basis but it would be cool if frequencies were included on the versus ports.

Enso · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2012, 02:18:46 AM »

There should be a Mugen full game for the Metal Gear series. Would be interesting if there were some MG chars such as bosses and those playables including Raiden. Anyway, the screenpack looks bad***! Like it!

GrayFox · « **Reply #11 on:** March 05, 2012, 10:14:07 PM »

UPDATE!

-MADE THE FONTS SMALLER ON THE CODEC!
-MANGED TO FIND THE RIGHT COSMETIC LOOK FOR THE SCAN LINE ANIMATION!
-ADDED SOME NEW COSMETIC LOOKS TO THE CODEC ITSELF!

More to come, just stay tuned folks.

On topic:
Really like how the scanlines look in the screen, can you make a video of it, quick?

Personal choice, but I liked the MEM and TUNE at the size in the previous...the rest of the fonts/changes I like newer. Might just be me.

Any plans on something like an animated cursor?

GrayFox · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2012, 01:44:41 AM »

A new cursor shall be in the mist but, still working out the meat and the potatoes. Thanks bro and a full game sounds good but, not enough content. Stay tuned.

Don't let me derail this topic, but so far there is:
Solid Snake by SeanAlty
Metal Gear Rex (I don't remember the author, boss style)

A WIP Grey Fox (looks very good)
A Possible WIP Raiden from the author of the above

Sadly I doubt the list will grow to much more than this, notwithstanding if someone makes weak sprite edits and spriteswaps weak characters. The interest to convert MGS (a stealth shooter) to a full fighting game is low.

Dude, I know there is already Sean Altly's Solid Snake but the rest especially for Metal Gear, I didn't know about it/them. I've seen someone showcasing that Grey Fox sprite (CVS Joe base).

GrayFox · « **Reply #15 on:** March 10, 2012, 05:59:01 AM »

Possible Update!

Need your opinion guy's on the color scheme for the character pictures displaying in the codec. I have done three test ports but, with different methods, let me know which one comes close. I also post a pic of Ms.ling for reference on what I'm trying to manage here.

Picture!

Mmmmmmmmmm........ very nice.

Good cookin', man!

Update!

A small graphical and cosmetic upgrade, can you point it out.

Post Merge: March 15, 2012, 06:29:51 AM

Update Fixed!

Post Merge: March 15, 2012, 06:13:52 PM

Update!

+Title screen completed with two color version's!
+Color scheme for the character select bottom bracket changed!
+Team bullet Icons color changed!
+Character select box color changed!
+New static delay effect added to big port box's!

Next thing I need to work on is creating a intro to the select screen. I have a sweet idea that was given to me by DJ Van when I started this 2 years ago. I couldn't get it to work, because of my lack of knowledge of coding within that area. Let's get that joker right this time. Still must revamped the vs screen and game over screen. The game winner is not even thought of yet. Game credits and of course life bars. Now here are some gifts to look at and listen to this lovely tune.

Blue Snake!

Green Snake!

New select Colors!
