yo, WK, I like what you’re doing. Good idea staying away from the blacks and whites like everyone else is doing.

1022

man we ALL outta donate to these homeboyz doing such great things :bgrin:

keep up fabulous work Gs!

1023

That would be very awesome. The guilty gear soundtrack IMO is made for a crackhead game like marvel. My custom GG version of Marvel gets me hyped. It is not uncommon for me to just hit myself in the face, bang my head on my stick and start roaring while playing marvel to the soundtrack of GG.

1024

i’ve been praying for a marvel version that will give you multiple soundtracks to select music but if you do it again in linux to hardlink the files or w\e its called exactly, that means none of us will have the ability to pick exactly what songs\colors we want to use right?

is there any possible way something like this can be released so users can add colors\songs they want to able to choose from? we all have different tastes in music.

custom stages next! then HD sprites!

for those of you having a hard time trying to work in different colors, there are those extra colors past the original six. Sometimes, these colors just look flat out bad but there are a few of those extra colors that really stand out. It just depends on the character.

I took these 3 color ideas from the extra colors section which turned out pretty well IMO with a few modifications. Its hard to create 300+colors w\o eventually copying some of your ideas. Then your cast starts having the same colors.

evil mando is getting me hype for thrax.

1025

nigga! have me down to be the first on that list when you come out with it. I’LL FOCK’N EVEN PAY FOR THIS SHITT!!! :china: let me know asap when this comes out bro! :bgrin:

hopefully this disc will only be mvc2 with color edit options and music selction and thats it!

1026

Well, let’s make this shit official then and get an SRK MvC2 going. How we gonna go about this? We’ll need at least 6 full compilations of music and palettes, and prolly 2 months time to give everyone enough time to work on it.

I’m thinking we need terms like:

  1. Soundtracks must be complete replacements of at least the character select screen and all stages selectable in versus mode. Replacements of the other ADX files like intro, ending, and Abyss stages are optional, but preferred.
  2. Soundtracks must be well thought out replacements and diverse. An all Nightwish soundtrack would not be acceptable, but an all death metal one would be, especially if the music came from all different bands, and had the proper feel.
  3. Palette swaps must include all new palettes for all six selectable versions of the main character palette for a minimum of these characters: Magz, Cable, Storm, Sent, Cyclops, CapCom, Psylocke, Strider, Doom, T. Bonne. (I’m definitely open to hear what other chars should be required.) Preference goes to those with the most original palettes, those with the most concentrated palette changes (6 palettes for 5 characters is better than 1 palette for 40 characters), those that allow for team based color matching (Bumblebee MSP, psychodelic Scrub, or pink Mike-Z), and ESPECIALLY those involving all of the extra palettes (a Strider with matching birds/cats/bombs is far better than one without)
  4. Entries should be pooled. Someone who just wants to enter some palettes will probably get overlooked, ditto for soundtrack. I’d much rather have a mix of both and be able to call it the Empire Arcadia version, or the Seattle version.
  5. Palettes will NOT abuse the Alpha! Using a bit of alpha properly is a good thing, like say for Storm’s tornados, Cyke’s beams, the trail on Rockballs. Making ghostly characters is not.
  6. Complete entries will need to come with an image (I’ll get the dimensions later) with a logo and any explanations they want shown before their version is ran.
  7. Once a date is set, entries will need to be emailed to me before midnite of the deadline, in the format used on the Dreamcast version (ADX_BLAH.BIN for the soundtracks, PL_BLAH.DAT for the palettes) No texts or JPGs for the palettes, no MP3 for the soundtrack. Must be in Dreamcast form ready to go.

Ideas/comments/suggestions before we start this?

1027

is there any possible way we can leave what songs or colors to add individually instead of releasing a finished product? All you would have to do is create the version that contains the ability to have multiple soundtracks and multiple color edits and let the individual do that part.

we all have different tastes in music\colors and eventually those get old and people want to change it again.

2 cents.

1028

Setting it up so you can pick the soundtrack from group A’s submission and the palette from group B’s submission is doable, and was already planned. Anything more specific than that is damn time consuming for me, and who the hell would want to pick each palette for specific characters and then the specific track for specific stages, all before being able to play the damn game?

If you want to be able to make your own mix, there’s no reason you can’t do that now; that’s the whole point of this thread. If you want to make your own compilation, go for it; I’ve already posted how, but it aint exactly easy for those who arent uber geeks.

1029

my terminology maybe a little off.

I wasn’t saying pick all your colors racks @ every startup . I was trying to say that the user can pick what he wants to add to music\colors, recompile it into an .iso, then the user can have a select screen to choose custom mix 1, 2, 3 etc… and then color edit group 1, 2, 3 etc…

it would be nice to have a marvel that played multiple mixes w\o changing disc to have the ability to go back and change the audio from time to time. Tracks get tiring and we all probably listen to different music while playing marvel.

I understand if that takes too long though. Marvel gets an upgrade so thats all I really care about.

1030

Sounds like a great idea, I’ve been working on a Canadian mix (or TO mix… if others from here actually wanna add to it).

Here are the palletes I have so far (the extra palettes have been edited as much as I know how, which isn’t saying much. . .)

1031

GG soundtrack on the next TDC would be amazing. The music is great because it is all instrumental and fits with the fast pace of the game, while still generic enough so that it is not distracting.

1032

1033

Wow, that shows really clearly how nasty Storm looks if you don’t edit her mutiple palettes (AFAICT). Poison Ivy/Siren Psylocke looks REALLY good though (she dies quickly at 0:23-0:30, but looks very good doing so).

1034

wow poison ivy psylocke is sexy. please do share it with us.

1035

ooooooooo srk mvc2

coooooool

watches thread closely

1036

man we really ALL should donate a few bucks to TOODLES n whom ever else is involved in this extensive project. just to help dampen the monatony of doing this project.

man lets get this going for reals!

1037

man that sure does look ugly :looney:

can someone tell me how to go about and change storms other palettes so i don’t get this ugly effect?

for example my current storm color is now red and black, how do i know which other palettes to change? and do i have to change these other palettes each time i do a new color edit for storm?

1038

Here are the numbers for the extra palettes to correctly edit Storm:

LP: (19) Extra, (1A) Extra, (1B) Extra.
LK: (1C) Extra, (1D) Extra, (1E) Extra.
HP: (1F) Extra, (20) Extra, (21) Extra.
HK: (22) Extra, (23) Extra, (24) Extra.
A1: (25) Extra, (26) Extra, (27) Extra.
**A2: ** (28) Extra, (29) Extra, (2A) Extra.

Basically, the first “(xx) Extra” is the same palette for the original button color, for example: “HK color = (22) Extra” in terms of colors, the other “(xx) Extra” ones are brighter.

Effects are as follows: Storm’s Variant Data

You need to colorize these as well for the added effects. Same happens with a bunch of other characters like Cyke, SilvSam, Iceman, Colossus and Doom. For example, Cyke has his own palette for (s)j.HK. I’ll post some pics later once i finish coloring other people. Oh, and about that video, i absolutely DESIRE that Poison-Ivy Psy. It’s too damn sexy.

**Edit: **
Storm’s hail is (1B) Extra ID:02-08 WHICH is ALSO required to edit the LP color correctly, so I guess we’re pretty much fucked with this one. All the other extras are just effects for her special moves, such as the typhoon or the lightnings, including her normals. And I actually found out that 01 LP (Extra - 02), 02 LP (Extra - 03), and 03 LP (Extra - 04) are not used AT ALL. Damn capcom and their lazy asses.

Oh, and for the record, 1B affects hail for ALL buttons, not just LP. So it is like universal palette.

1039

Now for Cyclops, he has like 6 million palettes to edit, some which includes his HK, his intro pose and the laserbeam reflects on his suit.

To do Cyke’s correct edit:

For LP color:
**01 LP (Extra - 02) **- HK effect edit
(29,2A,2B,2C,2D,2F,30) Extra- Intro pose
(59) Extra = LP color (just copy it)
**(5A) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

For LK color:
**01 LK (Extra - 0A) **- HK effect edit
(31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38) Extra- Intro pose
(5B) Extra = LK color (just copy it)
**(5C) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

For HP color:
**01 HP (Extra - 12) **- HK effect edit
(39,3A,3B,3C,3D,3F,40) Extra- Intro pose
(5D) Extra = HP color (just copy it)
**(5E) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

For HK color:
**01 HK (Extra - 1A) **- HK effect edit
(41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48) Extra- Intro pose
(5F) Extra = HK color (just copy it)
**(60) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

For A1 color:
**01 A1 (Extra - 22) **- HK effect edit
(49,4A,4B,4C,4D,4F,50) Extra- Intro pose
(61) Extra = A1 color (just copy it)
**(62) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

For A2 color:
01 A2 (Extra - 2A)- HK effect edit
(51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58) Extra- Intro pose
(63) Extra = A2 color (just copy it)
**(64) Extra - **Laser Beam reflect on suit

Example Pics for my HK color: (original from WildKitty - thx!)

[**01 HK (Extra - 1A) **- HK swing effect (this affects s.HK, (s)j.HK)](http://66.90.101.162/~combovid/eidrian/PaletteEdits/01 HK (Extra - 1A).png)
[LIST]
[]1st: Copy the **ID:01-05 **from the **original color **to 01 HK (Extra - 1A) **ID:09-13 *as shown here, for the ID:14 is a bit darker than ID:13, so just copy ID:13 to ID:14 and make it darker. This is for the suit part of the swing
[]2nd: Copy the **ID:06-10 **from the original color to 01 HK (Extra - 1A) ID:03-07 as shown here, then you have 2 unedited square ID’s, so copy ID:03 to ID:02 on the Extra and make it brighter. Then copy that ID:02 and paste it on ID:01 and make it even more bright. You should have a tone palette like the one on the [main pic.](http://66.90.101.162/~combovid/eidrian/PaletteEdits/01 HK (Extra - 1A).png) *
[/LIST]
[(41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48) Extra- Intro pose](http://66.90.101.162/~combovid/eidrian/PaletteEdits/(41-48) Extra.png)
[LIST]
[]*Each one is darker than the first one, eg. (41) is Luminance -5, (42) is Luminance -10, (43) is Luminance -13, etc. Just basically the pattern shown in the pic.
[/LIST]
(5F) Extra = HK color
[LIST]
[]**This is the same as the original color, just copy-paste it. *
[/LIST]
(60) Extra - Laser Beam reflect on suit
[LIST]
[*]*You need to colorize it so it looks reddish.

And that’s it! Go enjoy your perfectly customized Cyke. =]

ok guys i need help with my detailed project
and i have the god tiers done most of the top tiers and a good portion of the mid-low tiers done
this is alot of work and i only want people that i can trust and that are competent to help me cause i have ALOT of work to do, and i need people that can work with me, WK and eidrian if you would like to help send me a PM
i can give ya some easy tips on how to identify palettes
but i need someone i can trust with a few secrets, i would say that i am 40% done with the entire roster but the rest are a bit harder and i need the help of a small team.
if i can get maybe 3 more people to help me we can get this done within a week or 2, depending on our schedules

in my project i am looking to make a complete guide
and if Preppy wouldnt mind hosting a spot on his site for us to show off/share our edits, that would be awesome of him.

but we need to kinda pull together as a team to get this done right… most of you are only going for the top/god tiers

hey the low/mid tiers want some love too, cause i know there are alot of people that would like some original xmen colors and stuff like that
plus some of the lower tier’d chars have some interesting possibilities for colors
