LF2 kate Articuno - Distress - 06-24-2016

Hello everyone. I'm not sure how many people are familiar with the articuno crash in lf2 kate but i remember a long time ago I resolved this issue and I cannot remember how to do so. So I was hoping that someone here can point me in he right direction without deleting the move altogether.

Note: I think I resolved it by adjusting my RAM settings or something like that the first time so if someone can elaborate on what to do there.

So is no one going to answer my question or are you all just going o keep looking at the post awkwardly?

Relax, not everyone has Kate installed and/or knows how to solve the underlying issue. In fact, I first had to download & install the mod to see what's going on.

For those that don't know what's happening: when you play as Sorcerer (lf2.net for unlocking him) and do D>JDJ, you'll spawn Articuno. The sprite looks like it's directly taken out of Pokemon Stadium; the bmp-file is 416 x 804 pixels.

BUT, after about half an hour of digging, I noticed that Articuno itself is not the issue but rather this frame in sorcerer.dat:

DC-Code:

<frame> 309 DA_action
   pic: 119  state: 15  wait: 4  next: 310  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0  centerx: 46  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
 
   wpoint:
      kind: 1  x: 52  y: 54  weaponact: 31  attacking: 0  cover: 1  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0 
   wpoint_end:
   opoint:
      kind: 1  x: 20  y: 46  action: 200  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  oid: 209  facing: 0
   opoint_end:
<frame_end>

Skipping it will at least prevent the crash (in-game, Sorcerer spawns Articuno but it doesn't do anything lol). Now it's time to find the real culprit! And....

*drumroll*

<a name="solution"> </a>
This is THE EVIL (freeze_ball.dat):

DC-Code:

<frame> 200 F.r.e.e.z.e.A.l.l!!!--Under
   pic: 100  state: 3005  wait: 0  next: 201  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 50  centery: 500  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
<frame_end>
 
<frame> 201 F.r.e.e.z.e.A.l.l!!!--Under
   pic: 100  state: 3005  wait: 0  next: 201  dvx: 43  dvy: 0  centerx: 50  centery: 500  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   opoint:
      kind: 1  x: 0  y: 350  action: 100  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  oid: 209  facing: 0
   opoint_end:
<frame_end>

More precisely, the frame names. The crash is caused by the length of them. Changing them to something nicer will instantly resove the issue, for example, this works:

DC-Code:

<frame> 200 Articuno-thingy
   pic: 100  state: 3005  wait: 0  next: 201  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 50  centery: 500  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
<frame_end>
 
<frame> 201 Articuno-thingy
   pic: 100  state: 3005  wait: 0  next: 201  dvx: 43  dvy: 0  centerx: 50  centery: 500  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   opoint:
      kind: 1  x: 0  y: 350  action: 100  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  oid: 209  facing: 0
   opoint_end:
<frame_end>

You can either patch the dat-file yourself or use the one attached to this post. It's exactly the patch shown above.

RE: LF2 kate Articuno - Distress - 06-29-2016

Ok im not sure how to patch the file you just provided do i just copy and paste it? From the original file?

RE: LF2 kate Articuno - Silverthorn - 06-29-2016

The respective file is located in

<The LF2 Kate-folder>/data/freeze_ball.dat

If you haven't changed the installation-folder of LF2, it's probably located under

C:/Program Files (x86)/

. You can simply replace freeze_ball.dat with the one I attached in the last post ;)

Hello, been a year but this post is the closest to my problem. Im on Little fighter 4 turbo. I have the same articuno crash issue. What I could do is download your file and search its location in the new game and replaced it [Little fighter 4 turbo/data/freeze_ball.dat]. It still crashes.. Please help :(

Articuno data in LF4 Turbo is located in:

woody_handsharp.dat
normal_firen_ball.dat

Those two have overly long frame names, more than 20 characters long. And not just the articuno, the Woody handknife frame names are too long as well.

Download a data changer, open those 2 files, shorten the frames' names.

Thanks! did it and it worked, honestly i gave up hope as I remember this was not what I did in my older/ancient PC while playing LF2 Turbo, but I can't remember just like OP.

I've attached the edited files.

Oh so that is the issue! Nice to know.

I have played LF2 turbo 4 for a some time but never minded to debug problem
