Some months ago I made a Ninja Masters Screenpack (with lifebars included) and I decided to give the nwes only on Mugenation forum (my forum, I am an admin) to understand if it is good or not (before announcing it on main page of Mugenation).

But no comments received (a part one of my friend Ice King).

So I ask a favour to download it and say to me if it is a good or bad screenpack.

This is the topic where you can find the link to download the screenpack (it is in Italian, but it is clear that you have to click the link in the first message ).....

Post you comment here, please

PS for mods: I read the rules, and it seems to me that this topic respect all them. But, if there are same problems say to me.

Wow This topic is old, and no feedback (why am i not surprised )

Anyway here's ome feedback i hope is usefull:

- First of all some screenshots will be nice

- The tittle screen is to simple, you should add the Game logo and osmethng else but not much

- The animation of the flames in the select screen is a bit sloppy and you can see some pink edges on teh flames

- The versus screen could use some sound, also even when there is no music always set the loop to 1 or there will be no music during the fights (winmugen)

- In the installation you said:



That is not neccesary because if those files are not in the motif folder Mugen will use the ones in the data folder.

- Also to make iy easier to be another motif available, you should do this:

Since there are only 2 fonts...or even if they're more:


That way the user doesn't have to move the fonts or youy could make a font folder inside the ninjamas folder and it should be soemthing like this:


And for the music do this:


Or make a folder name music or something in the ninjamas folder.
NOTE: When you have music in the motifs folder you always have to add a "data" before the motifs folder name or it will not work.

- You should add a "rush" or "hits" word to the hit counter (rather than the default one) to make it look better

- Maybe teh lifebars will look better without the small portarit or add a box for the portait

- If you keep the chars name inside the lifebar make the font white so it looks better or put the chars name outside the lifebar.

Well that's all i have i hope is somehow usefull

Bye

I have received a mail that notify your feedback... Sorry for answering so late, but I haven't got free time becouse a lot of duties take me away (in fact) from Mugen world... so it is hard to me to visit Mugen sites (even my own site Mugenation) so sending me the mail was a good thing.

Also this means this means it is hard to me to make possible modifyes on my works... however I read all and now you can see my answers

---------------

First of all thank very much. You are the first person (except Ice King) who say something about my screenpack.

Second: I'm sorry if it can pass A LONG time before other answers (if you want to add something other)... It can be pass two weeks - a month before an answer becouse of my "non existing" free time...

----------

Ok... about screenpack installation... you are totally right. I have written on documentation only the simpliest way to install a screenpack...
Obliouvsly there are a lot of other possibilities (yours that you suggested is the one I use for myself, more or less)... but for making an easier documentation I used less information thinking for basic users...

---

About Game Logo... If I have time I can try to add it... Eventually not the original one (too much rips ) ... however it is a good suggestion to add a logo

-------

Animation flames = you are right. I made a not perfect rip... I only scaled to 320x240 lossing a bit of quality... it requires a review... I totally agree with you!

---------

I have not added a VS music becouse Original Game has not a VS screen (uses select screen as VS screen)... so there is no original sound to use.... It is hard to make a new music that can be used in that screenpack that "sounds well" with the other original ones.
Suggestions about music usable are welcomed

--------

Combo Hit... I made a change from myself many times ago, but I never upload it (no comments for screenpack so no interest, i thinked)... I have a modify to combo counter -> now it is equal to original one (having time I can upload it if you want, but I'm afraid not in a short time )

--------

About Font color... It seems to me it is better to continue to use red... this becouse white into green can not seen well by some people (constrast too small in my opinion)... also red is a color that for a great number of stages can be viewed well... (empty lifebar = stage background)...

-------

Thank you again for you feedback!

I think that it would be nice to post some images

Yesterday and today I am at home so I can do uploads (I am Rarely at home, but seeing the fact I'm here I do now uploads)....

First of all (mainly for Edward the Great):

Here you can download patch for new counter.

- Replace fight.def with the one into the zip.
- Add the two fonts into your font follder.

This contains the new combo counter that I made times ago, but never uploaded before today.

---------

Second thing:

Aku_ma you are right! so here are some shots:

Options / Main Screen / Select Screen / VS Screen: (5 shots into animation)



some LifeBar shots: [/color] (5 shots into animation)



Note: Characters and stage you see here are all mine and all downloadable

Note: Combo counter you see here is the "patched" one, not the one you find into basic version. At the beginning of this reply you can see a link where to download patch.


A Single shot that shows "turns" and "simul" lifebar (single shot)



Note: Characters and stage you see here are all mine and all downloadable

Note: Combo counter you see here is the "patched" one, not the one you find into basic version. At the beginning of this topic you can see a link where to download patch.

------

Final Note... Images on those shots appears filtered... perhaps depends by the way I use to do GIF images (using Z-CharCad for the first 2 Gif [animated] ).
