Hey everyone,


I haven't posted a WIP for a long time... It's about time this one got out.

Small intro...

My first DBP game...

I'm making a Super Smash Brothers Clone, only I will be adding new features such as being able to smash the B attacks (In the old one you can only smash A attacks). B attacks will also be different in the air, plus all of the Smash attacks from A and B buttons can be performed in the air.

Also, this is NOT going to be a happy game like the original, heck no. This game is going to have blood and gore in it, so be prepared

This project has been in progress for more than 16 months.



==================================================================================

Level contributions

This project is open to any levels or maps from anyone. Feel free and let your imagination roll to make fantastic maps for Mega Mash Mothers. 3 things should be considered:

-Any special effects you want in your map (like acid rising, tornadoes, ships flying through the level...) just write a short description for them and I'll code them.

-The background (if any) should not be included in the model, I code it separately. Just include (if any) the background image.

-You don't need to model anything to do with ledge grabbing, slip through the floor, walls or ground, just a brief description where you want the players to hang on/where not, where the players should slip through the ground/where not, and where the players should slide down a slope and where not.

==================================================================================

Thanks everyone for your nice comments!

I think it's great that some people are showing interest in contributing to this project! If anyone has a level/map lying around that they'd like to share, I would happily include it into the game.

There has been further progress, not much though. I have animated the character to hang on to edges now. I have also set up collision so there are edges he can hang on to and edges he cannot hang on to:

I use AC3D to model, and Character FX to animate.

I could never stand fox... He yells too much, just like Link. I kick ass with Pikachu.

@TheComet:
What type of graphics are you after? More N64-ish (low poly, yet good looking) or rather as detailled as possible?

EDIT: And please enable keyboard controls! I have no gamepad at my computer!

I was heading for N64-ish graphics, but that can be changed any time. I only fear that it will start to run slowly on various machines when increasing graphics, and I'll have to add timer-based movement or LOD or something... I think the gameplay is much more important than highly detailed graphics.

So yeah, N64-ish.

And don't worry, keyboard is soon fully supported including mouse and gamepad all with a nice menu to configure it.

EDIT : If you are making a level, you needn't worry about any grabbing-on or collision. I'll take care of that. If possible, add a background image in with the model, but don't implement it with the model. If you'd like to add something like the tornado in hyrule-castle or acid like on planet zebes, just give a brief description.

Looking cool, and it is nice to see another CharacterFX advocate .

One thing I'd like to say is get your collision working perfectly first. It should be the first thing you do, because it's probably the toughest part, forget AI and graphics - collision detection is a project killer. If your dangling guys from edges, then your collision detection will have to be spot on. So I would suggest you get that working perfectly, so your totally happy with it, then go onto the other (hopefully more fun) aspects.

I'd hate to see this get so far then be lost because of seemingly uncontrollable issues, like collision problems. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out.

That statement is perfectly true. In fact, the collision is the first thing I did get done. But I think the animation control is much harder to program than collision, to be honest... Anyway, thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to always do collision first.

Luckily I learned how to go about with states and events in a program at school, or I'd probably be screwed right now.

Thanks everyone

Progress has continued, nothing I can show yet though. I have come across a problem whilst working on my joypad plugin. The "set control device" command is WAY to slow to control multiple joysticks at once. I don't know how to go around this. It's probably going to be some DLL or I could open separate program windows for each joystick which then pass the input information to the main program. But I don't know how fast that will run with 10 Joysticks...

@Master13

I'll probably do the same as on the N64 with a level from 1-9. I have no idea how I'll program it yet, but it's going to be tough to get anything near something that is hard to beat...

What handheld consoles are you referring to?

You can do this with the GLFW dll - I can't remember exactly how. It's a really powerful gamepad system though; you don't need to restart the app every time you add a pad.

TheComet, this is just an idea, but the attacks should be simple calls right?

The AI in SSB is based on combos, distance, and player location. How often the shields are used, how fast they can get calculated, etc. I'm basically saying pulling of timing and combos based on location is what makes the thing difficult. It also made the game super-easy once you figure out that's all they do.

But Melee has a tougher AI than SSB, can't help you regarding that.

I never played those... I didn't know there was a SSB on the Nintendo DS, I'll have to look at that!

@ NeX

Thanks! I'll try to implement that into my game.

@fs

The attacks in my game will be set up the same way as in SSB64. Each attack refers to a number. So I can just say player_move=16 and the player will do an A-smash up. When I was tinkering with a hex editor to look at the machine code of SSB64, I found that exact variable. Every move is assigned to a value. So once I get that done, the AI shouldn't really be that hard to do. Just like you said: Distance, location and angle calculations.

@ All

I have almost completed the Joypad configuration menu. It supports any input from any joystick and also supports the keyboard. I would have added the mouse, but DBP didn't like it, so I took it out again. But seriously... Who would use a mouse to play SSB?

I have been addicted to StarCraft lately, so the menu sort of turned out to be a StarCraft menu... If you have any suggestions for changes in design, graphics or feel in the menu, please comment.

Screenies:





I have also worked on the hanging-off-the-edge move, and this is what it looks like:

If you want a nicer bitmap font I have a tool that comes with GLBasic which allows you to turn any ttf into an antialiased bitmap.

Let's say I'm a complete n00b in that area... Does this mean I have every letter from the font in a .bmp format? What advantages does that have? Sorry if the answer is that obvious...

Oh, are you using the built in text functions? The text you've got on there looked like a bad bitmap font - no antialias and very hard to read owing to it being too chunky.

Ah, sorry... Yes, I am using the built in text functions and a crunched up font... But thanks a lot for offering your help! Do you have a better suggestion for a font?

Quote: "Anyhoo Comet, this looks great! Would you mind sharing how you created hanging-on-the-edge collision? I've always wondered how one would implement such a thing."


Thanks!

The way I did the hang on edge is I placed hidden plain objects at the edge, and I cast a ray in front of the player a bit in front of their hands downwards. If the ray collides with a plain, I position the player at the collision point and play the hang animation until the A, B, or Joystick is moved. The animation does everything, I just have to keep the object positioned there until the animations are completed (If you look at the image where mario is hanging in the animation program, you will notice that his hands are at position 0, and his whole body is beneath the floor. If I position him at the collision point, he will look like he is hanging.)

Well that technique sounds simple enough! Great idea! I think I might try and implement it in my platform game for NaGaCreMo.

Btw, I don't have a joystick to test this out...if I did I so totally would! Keep up the good looking work!

Update!

I remapped the lighting of Mario and the level (took AGES), and added a nice background:



I don't really like the background, so for now it's a place-holder.

Many of you complained that you didn't have a joystick to test, so luckily I also completed the JoyPad Plugin. It allows you to set the controls yourself before the game, and you can also set it to use the keyboard. When exiting the game and restarting it, it will load the last settings you configured.

Please be aware that you must have plugged in all joysticks before starting the app. Multiple Joysticks are not available yet, but you can have a 2 player game on the keyboard and the joypad.

I also smoothed the camera to give a smoother game feeling.

Here is a video showing the Joypad plugin, the "hanging off the edge" move and the "out of bounds" ring:

The Video

And here is a download of the game:

Enjoy!

Thanks a lot guys!

Does anyone know a good lightmapping program?

Right now I am going through the optimization process (remove and shorten unnecessary code, get rid of surfaces on models that won't be seen, smooth animations and add more expression, reformat textures etc...), and I think it paid off, since the frame rate went from 65 to 66

I got around to animating the edge balancing move, where you go to the edge slowly and the character leans over it, almost falling off. I also got the shield up and running, but it needs some more polishing.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikzn0oqCrVE&feature=channel

Now this level is very special. The first model I made of it was 4 years ago, I included it in a game I called "Kirby Smash", which was my first attempt to make a ssb clone. It failed. Miserably.

Anyway, I recreated and styled it a bit more, and this is how it turned out:

Thanks for the link! I'll give it a go

Thanks!

Thank you! In the first post on this page, there is a demo download. It is under the section "update 2".

...You can't time Art...

This may take as long as SoulHunter, because I have HUGE plans. But I estimate maybe 2 years? I have no idea

@ Cetobasilius

I will have to consider it first. Can you give me a link of your video? Can you program DBP? My e-mail is in my profile, please give a response.

@ All

An awesome idea struck me with this game. I won't tell anything yet, only thing I can say is that the idea is similar to the idea Rare had when making Conkers Bad Fur Day on the N64...

I've just played the demo in the original post, and it's pretty cool. I don't really have much to say considering it still seems in early stages, although control-wise I'd like to say a couple of things...

I've never been a fan of the way running is handled control-wise, it'd be much better if when using the d-pad you could hold a button to run (or walk, allowing the default to be set in the options), and when using the analogue stick pushing far to one side will result in running.

Also, allowing jump to be mapped to a button would be nice. I realise the original (and no doubt the sequels) use 'up' for it, but having it on a button would feel more natural to me personally.

Anyway, I like it so far. Seems pretty smooth and it seems like you've got a good base here.

I agree with the d-pad, but the problem with the analogue stick is that it will be become way too hard to then walk at a slow speed. I always found it easy that a smash to the left or right would enable running, and a non-smash to the left or right will only let you walk. I will consider your suggestion of course, and will and add it to the menu to give it a go myself.

What I admire about Nintendo is that they could squeeze tons of moves into just four buttons, where if I look at Playstation, you use at least 8 different buttons for the same amount of moves. I want to try and keep it to the way Nintendo had it.

The original (N64) did have the jump move mapped to a button, it was the top 'c' button. I don't know about melee or brawl though... Anyway, the demo SHOULD have a jump button enabled... Did you download the "Basic moves" demo or the "update 2" demo? It should be in the "update 2".

So thanks a lot for your feedback and everyone else's feedback, I really appreciate it!

i have a video but its version 27... here is the video... dont have a name for it yet. ive named it after me lol

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJUph3iiVFw

the game version right now is 52... will upload video soon when i finish some items code.

Fraps slows the gameplay and animations a bit. lots of new things are done... i saw your work and it is good. Maybe we can work separatley and share some tips/models(i use cfx for animation too) although my game is aimed to melee style graphics.. and some sort of mix between killer instinct and brawl fighting style... with combo breakers and final smashes and all that sort of things. although my game is right now capped to 6 players but will have up to 12 online. wont say more so you dont get too excited! :p i made/replicated all maps in the video + many more. and i have other characters too... im working on the code as i said and have not updated other characters. hope we can talk later

@ Cetobasilius

I am impressed by your level design! Did you use lightmaps or real-time shadows?

Let's do a I-could-improve-this-on-your-game-and-you-could-improve-this-on-my-game thing. I think you need better animations on your characters. PM me and we can discuss this matter further.

@ Everyone

Thank you for all of your nice comments!

Progress speed is slim, but I finished my light editor, and this is what the levels look like all lit up:




Next up : The "Spawn-anything-anywhere-engine", short : SAAE.
