Couldn't you just make your own?

I'm not good with graphics, and Vaza's done too much already, i'm not gonna ask him.

You should at least give it a try, try using The Gimp.

Heh, you don't know how bad I am. I've tried Photoshop, Paint.net, Gimp, and some others.
All I can do graphic wise is rip sprites from a sprite sheet and make them transparent for use in the game.

How'd you get your sig and avatar then?

If you think you suck at drawing (you didn't actually say that, but you're implying it) then PRACTICE! :p

I suck too, but, if you want, I'll give a shot at making it look like the attack is charging. :)

PS - The new street name for the Gimp is: The Gay Pimp!
LOL :ROFL:

Xodiac made the sig...

Zitat von TheMarioKarters

I would, but I can't find any punch/kick sprites!

---

They're on the sheet I thought.

whoa...xodiac is everywhere when it comes to sig pics.

With everybody complaining about the rolling attack, lemme ask a question.

Could someone just mod the attack images so it looks like hes punching? I havent looked at the code too much so i dont know how the attack works.

---

You'd think it'd look kinda weird if someone was punching not moving their feet and moving around wouldn't you.

You could make it a seperate button like Square and make a whole new attack where you don't move but the sprites play the punching animation. And it does maybe a little more damage than the standard roll attack because you can't move around.

Hmm, maybe that's another job I can do... I'll try do it when I have the time. First I just want to put in pause (should be easy) and custom sprite choices in char select.

Umm, could you explain? I'm confused

hey, you guys mind if i make a KH mod for this game? Just asking for permission before i actually do it...

Well you know how when a player attacks normally, they can move whilst in a ball? Well you wanted to mod the pictures to make it look like they were punching, but they would still be able to move.

No problem. :)
Just mention that's it's a mod.

Thanks :) But i wanna know something for this mod, since i dont have a PSP currently.. :cry: What are the controls, like what does each button do? Also, when the character attacks, in what kind of motion is it in, is it just like a regular punch where they stay in one spot or is it the spin movement, and when you activate that attack you move? Just need to know so i know which sprites to use

Well here's something you might like to know. I just then (within these 5 minutes) finished custom character. Which means, you replace the sprites in the folder "custom" with your own sprites. To use them in-game, you press L&R at the same time at character select.

If you want, I could upload and release as soon as possible, or you could just make a mod of the full game, your choice :).

I also fixed the problem with Cream's ears going the wrong way when she was attacking.

SWEET!! :D
You guys can start a competition to see who makes the most interesting/cool/ugliest sprites!
lol

...
Cream's ears went the wrong way..? ok...
Never noticed that, but that looks really weird now that i look at it...
lol

Hey,
I thought about all the stuff that happened in the 2 days after the beta V1 release, and decided that it will be a very very long time til a new beta comes, there may not even be a beta!
This means, we are hoping to add all the main features, AI and animations in the next few months, which means, that you will have to be patient for the next version, and hopefully, when we are done, we will have created a great game.
Also note that i plan for another Sonic Battle Arena secret, coming up to the release, so look out for that ;).

The list of features/ideas that we have is:

Better AI
Survival Mode
2 player multiplayer - One PSP
Arcade Mode
Story Mode
Boss Battles
Special Moves
Characters are unique
Fully working health and power bars
Better and smoother animations
A few new characters
Unlockables

Sorry for the wait, but it is nescasary, this way we can get all of these done in our own time, and not feel the burden of a time limit or deadline.

The Beta testers that have been named, are still testing, but im adding a couple of new testers, subject to if they would like to:
C5cha7
EminentJonFrost
Montrob

The testers are because a few of the testers seem to be inactive over the past weeks.

I'd also like to say Thanks to anyone who said congrats for my Premium, and thanks to Jake for giving it!

If you are one of the above testers mentioned, please reply with a PM. Thanks

U mean sonic and knuckles 3?
im not very good with sonic games...

Great game... Great coding.... Very smooth.

Edit - Ha, Lizardking editted his post while I was making mine. Amazing coincidence...lol

Lizardking, Lua games are open-source right from the get-go.

When you download any Lua game or app, go to one that says either "index" or "script". That has the coding.

One thing I did that helps immensly when looking for Lua files was make a 40x40 (or 50x50, forgot which) picture. This picture would be the icon for all Lua files.

To make it the icon of all Lua files do this:

Go To "My Documents".

On top, it says: File--Edit--View--Favorite--Tools--Help

Go to "Tools". Scroll down and click "Folder Options..".

A pop-up should come up with 3 tabs on top that say: General--View--File Types

Click on "File Types". Right below the list of file types is a button: "New"

Click it. It'll ask you for the file extension. Put "lua". Those 3 exact letters.

Done with that. Now, "lua" will be a registered file type on your computer.

Lua files are normally made and opened with Notepad. But you can use any text editing app you want. There's a button below "Delete", "Change...", click it to say what app automatically opens "lua" files when .. well, when they're opened. lol

As for the icon, click "Advanced", then (its pretty obvious what does what from here.) you Browse for your icon and Voila! Done

Confirmed Beta Testers:
c5cha7(you are doing it wether you like it or not, lol)
EminentJonFrost
Kozine
Hooger
Montrob
BronxBomber92
Deturbanator

Anyone who has been sent a PM with a chance to reply for the place. If no reply comes within 24hrs of the PM being sent, That person will not be a beta tester anymore.

Sorry vaza i couldnt get online, my dad just installed some kind of virus software that was messin with msn, looks like i missed out big time :( Bumber :p

yea sonic and knuckles 3 :D there sprites were really amazing.. am came across a site yesturday with alot of them.. pm me if u want the link

maybe if its possible you guys should include/create a tool for making characters to add to the game or just give to you guys. this may be a big request but i have NEVER did anything along the lines of coding lol (im such a friggin noob) and i really want to help and make your guys project a success. P.S. more characters,more levels, better AI, and your game will rule all lol!

Why are there beta testers if it is a Public Beta?

I was thinking that, I thought all of our future releases would be public.

well vaza said they wont be releasing any more betas. only the the final release, so they ould probably give private beta to us, like before the first public beta
