There are already tons, do some characters that are getting less attention.
Iāve have deleted everything and entirely reinstalled the game, updated my graphic drivers (ATI HD Radeon 4670) and directX. But I still have a black faced makoto with Sloth86 lightning skin. He told me that maybe the .emm files didnāt copy correctly or it has something to do with my graphic settings. I would like to know if anyone has the same problem. Itās really weird since every custom skins for every character work fine but this is the only one so far that doesnāt work properly ā¦
Here is a screenshot of the problem.

Thanks for any help
what do you type in for the material if you want to have double side mesh ?
Before todayās Stages release, hereās a look at Cammy, Ken and Guileās HDR Stages :



Thereās a few things bugging me :
- Cammyās: impossible to make the floor look like a bridge (or at least I canāt do it) ; the foreground buildings look a bit too big
- Kenās: canāt get the right feeling to give the impression the dock isnāt āstuckā next to the water ; no barrel, because on the floor it would look flat, and on the wall, like itās floating
- Guileās: probably the best of the 3, still the feeling of depth is kinda lackingā¦
What do you think ?
Amazing. It is a pity that people in the arena there is no
yeah i released in a while ago in the modding thread: Modding SSF4AE for PC (NO DLC UNLOCKS!)
Conversions are painfully slow and thereās a bunch of weird limitations you have to work around. Knock yourself out
hmmā¦if you have a hex editor try this: open the .emo file and replace all āfaceā with āBodyā (no quotes). This will give her face the same material as the rest of her skin, so it might fix it idkā¦
Well, hunterk managed to get to non animated assets from those stages, nothing more. So no people, no aurora thing in th sky⦠they wouldnāt move anyway, which would be awkward ingame.
I donāt think Iāll work more on those stages, so I might as well release them soon. Iāll wait to see if hunterk has something to say about the things that are bugging me though^^.
@doshu
Those are looking really good. Wall of text incoming:
The bridge is definitely going to be the hardest thing to get right and probably isnāt worth the effort, honestly. Since itās being stretched out along the floor, you would probably have to add trees and other āunderneathā stuff, enlarge the whole bridge layer and then shrink it along the y axis to work with the foreshortening (kinda like those faux 3D sidewalk drawings).
Youāll probably have to drastically shrink the buildings on the sides, too, to make them fit the characters better.
For Kenās stage, you might try to match the floor perspective and add a sliver of floor on the background to hold the tie-down posts and/or barrels. Iām not sure if that would help with the feeling of flatness, but maybe (maybe not worth the effort, though).
As a general note, the training stage model isnāt exactly the same proportions as the textures we inject (i.e. 1280x800), so it ends up stretching things out along the x-axis. To compensate, you could start with a larger width (1600x800, maybe?) and squish it down to the correct size, thus making everything skinnier. Also, the colors get washed out and brownish, so you might try playing with the saturation and/or contrast.
Aside from the floor stuff, I had to mess with all of these things when I made my Ryu stage. Also, I left out all of the animated parts on the assets I posted because I thought they would look bad, but I can post them too if you want them. The aurora (and clouds on Guileās stage) isnāt going to happen, though, because I canāt separate the transparency from the solid-color background so it looks terrible.
@daiisuki
it could indeed be your graphics settings. Some people have reported similar issues until they turn on texture filtering. You might also see if using a different resolution has any effect.
Thanks for the long tips :)⦠but most of it is way above my current modding skills. I would love to spend the time needed to learn all that, by myself or with tutorials as I did until now, but timeās lacking. So I think Iām just not going to start toying with those stages anymoreā¦
But Iāll defenitely hope that someone (you ?) will take the time and try to make awesome HDR Training Stages :). If my phd doesnāt take as much time as Iām afraid itās gonna take, I might even try myself at a later time, who knows^^.
edit: btw, I tried that āadd stuff underneathā thing for the bridge the first time I build the stage, but I didnāt adjust the perspective problem, so the result was no good. It really is difficult to work from the 1280*800 texture not knowing what the result will look likeā¦
There was a stage mod (unreleased I think) that modified the Training Stage to be on a ābridgeā of sorts. Basically a platform only as wide as the characters and the foreground and background were pits. Iād look into that more.
Indeed, and itās by hunterk if Iām not mistaken. Tried it once. Might be a good idea^^.
YES, thatās it, if you put texture filter on or 2x ⦠12x it works perfectly. If Texture is āby defaultā it makes a black faced makotot. Thanks again for the tips
Ok it is finished. I have finally found a way how to add Normal Map without damaging the model.
- Body texture changed
- Attacks VFX changed
- Her avatar on selection menu and on the hud is changed too. Except for that little icon on selection menu.
- Her name is changed on Hud too.
- The skin is only applied on Color 8.

P.S One thing to keep in mind⦠Normal map which I have applied for Juri face will remain on other colors too. In other color modes she looks like her face has been burned.
and oh yeah almost forgot her eyes are a bit different from the picture here. Different ornament.

If anyone has problems with skin (AS it is my first time making a skin) please pm me.

Hereās the daily release of Training Stages !
First, the four ULSM ones :
-āAncient Fighting Arenaā, a remake of Soul Calibur 3ās Water Mill Valley stage by d1ver:

- āContinental Forestā, build from some Street Fighter vs Capcom stage:

- āDead or Live TV Showā, a remake of X-Men vs Street Fighterās Dead Or Live āThe Showā stage by itsmadman:

- āDesert Ruinsā, a remake of Mortal Kombatās Bell Tower stage by Gannon:

Then the two new stages. Yes, it should be four, but Iām lazy today. Plus, after those, thereās only 2 or 3 left for you⦠so no hurry^^.
- āDark Alleyā, build from SFZ 2ās Genās stage:

- āMorning Mist Jungleā, made from a step build of a remake of Samurai Shodown TamTamās stage by Bbox85:

More tomorrow
Wow, thanks Doshu. If you keep this up youāll either be hired by Capcom or get a PhD in mods (Hereās a totally inappropriate icon):eek:
.
Thanks guys :). However, as I said, itās almost the end. All the mods Iāve been uploading for the last 6 days were made in the process of the ULSM, Iām really not doing any more stages right now. So it will not last forever^^.
For Chun-Liās costume, I think itās an official one, not a mod. The only mod for Chun-Li I have installed is the yellowish one from the āVillage Streetā screenshots.
good lordy juri
that dark alley Backround by Doshu is ace. Dont have the PC version, just wanted to say some of the backrounds look top notch.
