Intro- Will be concepted in detail later but will consist of animations displaying and introducing a char as played in the game in the background with a close up anime pic of the char displaying their name as well in the foreground.
Mode Select-
(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn71/BlizzardTora/BH-SelectScreenConceptII.jpg)
This select screen will be customizable by all mugen users.
As you can see it has a helper character like bandais fighters (DBZ, Naruto, Bleach).
This character will be a free part of the screenpack where anyone can put their favorite character. (You allow to release you own helpers if you like).
Customizing the character though also means customizing:
-Character phrases (and be reasonable-Ryu isn't going to say that hes going to destroy the earth).
-Character Logos (In the giant bubble next to the text box)
-Animated BG (This can be anything but I prefer character animations)
-Snow Effect FG (Floating Sakura petals it dont matter)
Its okay to tell me what you thing so far, ask question, or give me good ideas to make this even better.
Next Ill be drawing the Hero Select Screen Concept...
...But being their is a lot of chars I want to use I need to do some calculating.

-From Need Ideas...-
Yeah, I'll most likely need some custom pics. Im not sure how to do this though because I want sweet custom pics but I want to add a lot of different characters. This screenpack was meant to be most professional screenpack. And what I mean is fixed chars as well.
no more having 20 Ryus in a screenpack (All you need to do is pic the best sprites and have a costume change style sff and command change.)
no more bugs
no more multi styles (I want Ryu GGX)
no more cheapness
every character gets a GGX style moves to fix the cheapness. (So if you miss you lose your super bar)
every character gets an intro and ending
every character has a story feel (RPG style text boxes and pics for char. vs. a specific char.)
every stage has some sort of super jump.
every char has some sort of midnight bliss
Use shinra codes (combo camera, etc.)
if there is room in the select have stage select fonts.
full size select pics must see head to toe the character if not I'll draw that character as best I can.
I plan on also releasing locked pics using KFM and setting up an unlock system using the endings and Winrar passwords. I hope that I can get the creators permissions though because I have ton upon tons of great chars to use.

Anyways the character will not actually talk just have text displayed as you select the mode.
The text can what until Im done do the Icons for the select font because it would have to be attached to that. As for the sounds, Im actually going to have them make a sound while selecting your options. Something I can take right out of that chars sound file. Remember not all RPGs had Text Speech like they do now.
...ahhhh. Ancient passtimes.
Yes, it will be tough for 1 person but its really a bunch of simple small stuff.

We need to attach the text from the textbox to the menu's picture font.
It'll be a giant font file sort of if like if you are doing picture fonts for Stage Select.
The only tough part is getting the axis accurate.
I'll attach a list of possible characters that I plan on using...
...Its a giant list. Or should I say I plan on at least attempting to convert all characters from multiple universes so that they all have ggx, cvs, or mvc patches so we can all play the type of game we want in the style we want it. But truthfully doing the characters will be the hardest part.

Hmmm? Image Magic? Never heard of that tool. Whats that do?
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php (http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php)
It is an api that can be used to create images on the fly. (command line, C++, C, Java, PHP etc.)
Take a look at some of the examples.

and then gimp it in to a sprite.
My very expensive and hard to find .3mm mechanical pencil just broke so now I have to use a number 2 pencil and I'm not happy. I'm picky when it comes to drawing something and lead pencil draw like crap. but I'll post the next part of this pack as soon as I can if I'm not busy.
It will include what to add to the characters and how I going to do the locked pics.
I also try to make a list of characters that are to be used but there is to many. It's like I might as well give you a list of everything converted for mugen and everything not yet converted for mugen.
If you want to start on characters though go ahead and we'll add them in as we go.
since its easier I say capcom characters first. Just tell hollowboy what the character is and that way he knows what pics to make. I already heard tailban. I would love to see him with Hi res effects like GGX or BBB.
What style would you going to start with on tailban, shibuyah?
