fight game project, with your help ^^

everyone

i just started another little project (well, not so little to be honest). this time, i'll need your help.

what is it?
a game like street fighter, but with a ton of different people, ripped from fatal fury series, king of fighters series, dragon ball z series, and so... i mean, a total mix of different fighters. first off, i was just wondering if such a project interest you, or do you think it's useless, not fun... i'll need your opinion and your support, why not?

why do i need your help?
i want some of you (and of course if it does interest you) to rip sprites; that way i can include them in the game... it will not take a lot of time adding characters; i'll use the same script for all of them (with some variations if needed, of course). i already checked http://www.gsarchives.com, so please don't take sprites there. or yes you can, but please add the missing moves ^^

expectations
if you want to give me a character you ripped, please post who he/she is. but his/her moves have to be complete. of course you can submit strange or funny characters, human or not ^^
here's a list of moves that i would like (the italic ones are the one that are not necessary but welcome)

-character stands
-character crouchs
-character jumps
-character moves forward
-character moves backward
-character stands and punches (low punch, medium punch, hi punch)
-character stands and kicks (low kick, medium kick, hi kick)
-character crouchs and punches (low punch, medium punch, hi punch)
-character crouchs and kicks (low kick, medium kick, hi kick)
-character jumps and kicks, and punches
-character being hit
-character blocks the opponent attack
-character goes KO
-character special attacks (i mean key combination, like the famous hadoken)
-character's attitude before the fight
-character's attitude after the fight (you win)
-character's attitude after the fight (you lose)
-character's fury

that's it ^^
if i missed some important moves, tell me

where to look at?
the neo-geo is an incredible console when it comes for fighting games ^^ you can look there, but also arcade, snes...

what i did so far?
i already began that project around twenty minutes ago (just to see how i can do things). here's the link if you want to take a look. it's just a very begining, of course, but you'll see how it looks:
http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/example.html
arrow keys to moves forward or backwards, space to punch, control to kick. no more at the moment.

thanks in advance for your answers.

...really? nobody?
i know, ripping a character is a lot of work, unfortunately...

well, that game will be a one and only playable character. snif.

anyway, here are the current changes:
http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/example.html

SPACE to low punch
SPACE+LEFT to strong punch
SPACE+RIGHT to medium punch
CONTROL to low kick
CONTROL+LEFT to strong kick
CONTROL+RIGHT to medium kick
same with crouch position (down)

special attacks to come... if i am motivate.

sure, which sprites to you want from what games?

really? ^^

well, it doesn't matter. everything is good for me, i just want to do a super fighting game with a ton of different sprites (nes, genesis, snes, neo-geo, gameboy, it doesnt matter)(and how funny to play a gameboy sprite versus a snes sprite ^^)

but, be sure to have all the moves i posted before

if you have suggestions regarding the sprite you want to add, feel free to ask.
also, check my battle engine. if it has bugs, please tell.

again, thank you for your help and interests.

I was wondering if you will be making online so people will fighter each other over the internet. If so I will help.

i just put the jump code (only the "stand jump")
check it out, it seems to work great ^^:

it was not supposed to be an "online fighting". the idea is very interesting, though... i have to admit, i'm in no way able for the moment to do that (i never tried. i'll read tutorials). in that case, i know i can count on you now ^^, thanks... but before, i have to put the code for a two player game.

mmmh, each fighter is approximatively 100/200ko, is it a problem for online gaming? you know, the more they are animated, the heavier they are...

I was planning to make a dbz online game anyway I know how to make all the codes. The only problem is Iam to lazy to make the animations so I haven't started it yet.

If you want to talk to me my AIM is "TrailerAnchor" and my e-mail is "[email protected]".

ok. it may take a while. but well, it's interesting. do i have to "prepare" the code or something to allow an online playing? just to know if i'll have to rewrite some parts code in case of online gaming...

little update:
http://www.marmotte.levillage.org/example.html
you can jump left and right. added a fps counter too.

now come the combinations like for example hadoken (down, down+left, left). do you have ideas how to do that?

i know how to do it, but i'm not sure if it's perfect. maybe some of you already did key combinations...? if so, what's the easiest way?

A tip, when the character jumps, make it so the shadow of the character gets smaller.

Hey Marmotte,

Sweet game you got there, it's really smooth and it's starting to look cool! About the combination moves...what about making an array. Everytime a key is pressed you put it in the array, when a second key is pressed you check if the first variable is filled in. If it is filled in, you check if the first and second key are part of a combination, if they are you put the second key in the array, if not you empty the array. If it already makes up a combination, you execute the move...etc. You would also have a timer that would clear the array, as combination moves have to be performed within a certain amount of time.

Does that make any sense to you?

Grtz,
Maikel

I have one almost done marmotte.

Here's a fighter I was working on about a month ago. Still has a lot of bugs, and it had wierd controls. Arrows, Home, Home+Shift, Shift, P, K, Shift+P, Control. If you give me your email, I can send it to you (it's too big to upload to my site(12.5 MB)). There might be a little problem though, because the sprite I made is in that file, and I don't know how to get it out plainly to send it to you.

soon ^^

i see what you mean. the fact is that i'm not very experienced with arrays (i just used one for the dialogs in my rocky game, that's all). i'll take a look in these forum in order to gathering some infos. but if you have the time to post a sample code (no need to be very developped, just the general idea: inserting the key presses inside the array for example), no problem ^^ thanks for the info.
i was thinking about doing combination moves with variables, but i think it will be too hard or too long...

sfpiano
dragon ball hyper dimension, huh? ^^
i like the idea of the loading. and yes, controls are really weird.
well, 12,5MB is too much for my 56k modem, unfortunately. why 12,5MB? it seems huge... about exporting only the gifs... isn't there an option of exporting the animation in quicktime format? and quicktime allows you to export in animated gifs, i think...

oh, just one thing: i need gif and not jpg (just in case ^^)

hey can i draw one? if you wont like it you wont have to accept it. just wanted to contribute to your little game. and would they have to be in gif format or can they be vectors? im pretty good with gfx - and sounds like you could use some

fospher.com
well, i wanted to make a game with ripped characters only. now, if you want to add a personnal character... why not? i mean it could be interesting...
if you have some drawings, or some examples, post them or send me an e-mail ^^ (you know how to e-mail me, don't you?)
but you'll have to be patient, i want a perfect fight engine before adding characters. that's why i'm looking for the best way to perform key combinations, for example.

btw, i'm looking for gifs, and not vector (although my game "bobby" is vector). i'll post the "medium" dimensions of a sprite if you want to.

I built a similar game 2 years ago with Flash 5. Yours looks like it will be a lot more refined when finished (and with better looking characters :)). If you have any specific questions as you proceed, post them here and I will try to help.

My game is at:
http://www.zeroera.com/

Go to:
ListView: Documents: Flash: Games: Fight Fight

There is also a listing of features there if you are looking for ideas.

Good luck!

Cheers,
ZE.

alright - well does the character have to look serious? or can it be a little goofy? ill work on it and post it then.
and if it can only be gifs - whats a good gif animator? (i know flash does it, but it leaves a white outline if you want the bg transparent.)

goku sprite there you go, 224 K. I'll try to make another if I get some time

i already visited your site several weeks ago ^^ i was very surprised to see a "demo mode" with two characters fighting each other. it impressed me. my "problem" now is how to make key combos with the most simplest way. i found one post several minutes ago that has an example with array. i'll study that ^^
anyway, thanks for your help
oh, and i like the concept of your site, sincerly. i also wanted to do something like that a while back... i found two or three sites that are exactly (i men the concept) like yours ^^
it's good to see people exploring that kibd of direction.

fospher.com
no matter if they look serious, funny, fat... mmmh... i don't like at all some american drawings, just to let you know
you can make a character like Hello Kitty, Jean-Claude VanDamme, Super Mario... just post an example when it's done, and i'll take a look.
do you have photoshop?

oh, thanks sfpiano. i'll take a look at it right here, right now... stay tuned ^^
i'll see if there are missing moves.
thanks a lot

alright photoshop it is then
