Will these tools work with windows vista? If not, that is okay as I am attempting to dual boot xp anyways, but I was just curious.

Exactly.
Like all those 2-page-long balance whiners etc....
we could sit together, open a server and see what's true and what isn't, tweak fighter settings and get a balanced game. |
Those threads were the majority vs the minority who didnt want to admit that a lot of their skill in the game came from the bot that they were using. Generally, those who are/were in the beta agreed in what robots were severely underpowered/overpowered

okay.
Because all my online play was with people I brought into the game, I didn't teach them how to be lame.
But I played once vs. a Mantis and it spammed the hell out of me. I don't know... at least we could let ask people what they though and fix it.

it's general knowledge that Mantis can't be outspammed with ranged attacks, and that its melee is has a much higher precidence over other robots... and it has a single attack face spam... RP RP RP RP RP RP... virtually impossible to counter attack in lag, plus most other HAR's attacks have a lower precidence compared to the Mantis RP

Then we should try to code newnet netcode for the game. Because I faced the Mantis in a laggy situation.

I'd like to work with mod-tools, but I don't know if i'll have time.
Also, could someone make a quick explanation of how you use them?  |

If you're expecting the lag to be as minimal as in, say... an FPS, it's not going to happen. The mechanics between a fighter and an FPS are much different. In an FPS, it's a matter of getting shot, or not getting shot. In a fighter, it's a matter of who's computer thought you blocked, which attacks register first, and which have more precidence. For example, in an FPS, both people can shoot eachother, and the server can figure out who got damaged along the way... you don't stop shooting if you got shot. In a fighter, the server has to see who hit who, and stop the one who got hit from the attack... sure, with a better netcode, you would be able to see what actually happened faster, but it won't work as well as in an FPS.

I thought about responding to this, but yea, that’s a good description of why fighter networking is much harder. It’s definitely a matter of design, not implementation. If I disabled block and get hit animations, the networking code may look awesome to some, but that’s because the problem isn’t the networking code. I have some content that’s shooter content, I should get the networking going with the shooter content just to show people that the networking code isn’t a problem . It’d be great if the networking code was the problem, because then it’d be fixable, but as it stands I think the really hardcore fighter players are only going to be happy playing the game on a LAN, because even at a consistent ping of say 50, higher end players are going to see ‘heavy’ corrections. |

And here I thought that those said balance whiners had actually done just that, and played the game for a year or two as well against each-others, and you know, gotten to know the game real well ? I guess I was all wrong then.

Is it just me, or has this whole issue been discussed quite thoroughly several times before?

Wow, I decided to look in on the forums, and I see THIS.
I think I would be interested in fiddling with the arenas, and perhaps other stuff.
I have done a little bit of game constructing with clickteam's multimedia fusion (see http://www.sntjohnny.com/laserchess/ or alternate site:
http://home.austin.rr.com/cimics/game.html -- either requires download and install of the "vitalize" plugin), so I have some aptitude for this sort of thing, but it will be a matter of finding the time (I have a family and a law job to distract me ) and seeing how well I can get a handle on how the tools work (I may find that it's out of my league, but I'd like to try ).
I'll send an email. |

I am very interested in seeing what people come up with - coughomf2097totalconversionteamcough
*If anyones idea involves some type of additional balance modding without significantly altering the game from its current form (IE: fix blocking abuse and facespam, fix useless moves and one hit wonder moves, add more depth to the blocking and combo systems, rework the overall vision for katana and chronos) I'd love to hear about it.

I thought your name sounded familiar. Unfortunately, that last post by Endy in March was the last thing we heard about this. If there is any open source mod tools being used, most of us don't know about it.
Best of luck anyway. I hope Rob gets back to you.

By most of us you mean most of us that had previously "leeched" the tools (you)?
I can assure you the tools are real.
