I worked on this project over winter break after a long hiatus. What motivated me to go back was one day in class, someone mentioned he found a fighting game engine where you can make your own characters. I knew exactly what he was talking about since I coded for it long ago. I wanted to finish this project but now that break's over I do not how much time I can invest in it. This version of Onslaught is completely recoded from version 1.8 (12/09/2001). Everything was started from scratch over again.
What's done:
Onslaught (1st Form)
- Sentinel Aerial Bomb
- Sentinel Assist
- Hyper Grav
- Magnetic Tempest
- Hyper Rush
- Teleport
- Magnetic Shockwave
- Mega Optic Blast
Onslaught (2nd Form)
- Sentinel Aerial Bomb
- Punch
- Dash Punch
- Hyper Grav
- Rensha Beam
- 3 Rensha Beam
- 5 Rensha Beam
Misc
- Improved Super Armor
- Intros and win poses
- Other stuff you'll have to wait to see
AI:
- This is a alpha stage AI. I just threw something together so that explains why it seems sort of cheap. Do not worry. It will have a more human AI and I'll attempt to make one that can "learn" which is what I have planned.
I do not have a website for my old MUGEN works at the moment.
What's left:
- Partner Change
- Palettes
- AI
- Minor tweaks

And is the guard damage taken from some of his attacks reduced?
Because those are two things that really annoyed me about Onslaught in the first place. Also, I would like the Hyper Grav to be blockable or at least dodgeable, seeing as not all characters have projectiles to reflect the attack with.

I had made palettes for the original Onslaught released by you (Available for DL at my Website, I also have a shot of them if you want to look at them) Will they work with the newer version or will I have to recreate them?
Also, Is that a special stage created for the character or is an already released stage?

Serious Cat - I haven't looked at your palettes yet but if you want to make palettes I can include them in the release and credit you in the readme. The newly ripped sprites are reduced with optimized octree which means no color lost. I also plan on adding more colors so any palettes made before need to be redone.
About the stage. The floor is coded into the character. I read about a way for characters to interact with a stage so I may also release a compatible stage which will trigger the floor to appear. It is currently an already created stage.
I think it'll be about a few more weeks to get done with the Partner Change move. That one move is the equivalent of creating an entire character.

Excursion - Thanks :). That'll be something extra to add.

You have my palettes, good sir. All I need is 1 PCX of the "small" and 1 PCX of the "large" and a current palette if there is one. (If not, I'll palettize off of the PCXs and it will be awesome still.) Only if you can spare them.

many thanks in advance anyway :)
cheers :thumbsup:
and good luck with onslaught XsLaught he looks great so far %%- =D> :) :thumbsup:

60% since the rest will be AI, palettes, and a full character for the partner change move. Onslaught with both forms themselves without the partner change move is near 100% :). So far I think everything else has been implemented. That means lose pose with professor X. Win pose, rock intro, special intros, palfx hit for form 2, position freeze, floating, training mode form switch, etc.
The previous version of Onslaught was ripped during a period when CPS2 emulation was not available or just starting so I had limited access to resources. Now I can do perfect axis alignments and rip hard to obtain sprites. Also I'm aware of the hand facing bug in the previous one. I think when I coded it, it was for a different version of MUGEN and had worked for that version. There's no such thing in this one :). Also this one should work with characters that have reversaldefs.

This onslaught will be awesome indeed...are you planning on implementing the "character swap" attack where he switches places with a random MVC character while staying in the background?(excursion did something similar,but it was a hyper attack rush with venom and symbiote spider

So far since my break's been over I haven't had time to touch the project yet with school and life. It may not be until my next break to get to work on this.

I plan on implementing a full character or two for the partner change move. That's the "character swap" move. Of course it won't be random or the entire MVC roster. That'd take forever! I'll probably include an alternate .DEF file to have you play as the partner change character as a stand alone character.

Either way, we are anticipating this. :thumbsup:

This project is still being worked on. I spent the majority of the time improving the Super Armor code. As we all know there's a lot of bugs that may come with implementing Super Armor in a character. The problem is due to when you get hit you lose 1 game tick so if you are hit 1 tick before AnimTime = 0, the Anim will repeat itself. The only way I saw to get around this problem is to make each Elem 1 tick. This issue has been resolved.
There will also be a damage dampener implemented. A few other things have been tweaked as well.
I have a break 1 week from now to work on the project. Hopefully I can get done with it.
