• Character Edits:
  • You have to change the state of frame 1,2 and 3 into state: 1 and give those frames dvy: 550.
    A new frame is also needed, that is exactly the same as frame: 0, the only difference is that it has state: 1 and dvy: 550. Next: 1 is also very important, otherwise the character will go to another frame, which doesn't have dvy: 550.
    
    Code:

    <frame> xxx standing
   pic: 0  state: 1  wait: 3  next: 1  dvx: 0 dvy: 550  centerx: 39  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   wpoint:
      kind: 1  x: 33  y: 45  weaponact: 21  attacking: 0  cover: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 21  y: 18  w: 43  h: 62
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>
    
    Now, for what do we have to change this?
    Since dvy: 550 won't work in state: 0 (The character will always ALWAYS go to the jumping frames when he's in the air in the frames with state: 0) you have to use another, similar state. In this case state: 1.
    
    The new standing-frame is another adjustment that makes the gameplay "normal". You know that in (nearly every) mode (VS mode, Stage mode, ...) the characters start a little bit off the ground. If you have a dvy: 550 in the first standing frame the Character would start off the ground, not "falling" down.

   bdy_end:

    Now to the jumping frames.
    These frames should include itr/kind: 8 which will make the character go to the crouching frames.
    
    Code:

    <frame> 212 jump
   pic: 62  state: 4  wait: 1  next: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 39  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   wpoint:
      kind: 1  x: 21  y: 34  weaponact: 20  attacking: 0  cover: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 31  y: 15  w: 21  h: 64
   bdy_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 18  y: 29  w: 48  h: 17
   bdy_end:
   itr:
      kind: 8  x: 22  y: -1035  w: 26  h: 100  dvx: 215
   itr_end:
<frame_end>
    
    However, you need to create a new frame, otherwise there could occur some "realism problems"
    
    Lets say the character is standing right under the "platform object". He jumps and the itr/kind: 8 makes him go immediatly to the crouching frames, even though he doesn't even stand on the platform itself.
    
    To avoid that, you have to create a new jumping frame.
    
    Code:

    <frame> 212 jump
   pic: 62  state: 4  wait: 10  next: xxx  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 39  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   wpoint:
      kind: 1  x: 21  y: 34  weaponact: 20  attacking: 0  cover: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 31  y: 15  w: 21  h: 64
   bdy_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 18  y: 29  w: 48  h: 17
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>
    
    
    Code:

    <frame> xxx jump
   pic: 62  state: 4  wait: 1  next: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  centerx: 39  centery: 79  hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   wpoint:
      kind: 1  x: 21  y: 34  weaponact: 20  attacking: 0  cover: 0  dvx: 0  dvy: 0  dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 31  y: 15  w: 21  h: 64
   bdy_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 18  y: 29  w: 48  h: 17
   bdy_end:
   itr:
      kind: 8  x: 22  y: -1035  w: 26  h: 100  dvx: 215
   itr_end:
<frame_end>
    
    The actual jumping frame has a little "time delay" that makes the character react after a short amount of time.
    However, the wait value should be changed depending on how "high" the platform is.
    
    The last thing you have that has to be modified are the attacks. Every attack (Including Punching frames) MUST have a dvy: 550 and a next: that leads to the new standing frame (Look above)
    
    
    
  
  
  
• The Platform Data:
  • The Platform is simply a object that permanently creates "bdys" that make the character go to the crouching frames.
    The "bdy" has to be created at the centerpoint of the platform.(Thx to Deus Ex Machina)
    
    Code:

    <frame> 0 platform
   pic: 0 state: 3006  wait: 0  next: 999  dvx: 550  dvy: 550  centerx: 39 centery: 79 hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   opoint:
      kind: 1  x: xxx y: -1035  oid: 30 action: xxx
   opoint_end:
<frame_end>
    
    In this example Bandit gets a new frame.
    
    
    Code:

    <frame> xxx platform_bdy
   pic: 999 state: 3 wait: 1  next: 1000 dvx: 550  dvy: 550  centerx: 39 centery: 79 hit_a: 0  hit_d: 0  hit_j: 0
   bdy:
      kind: 0  x: 18  y: -1000  w: 48  h: 100
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>
    
    Additionally you can add two itr/kind: 15 that make the character go to the jump frames again if the character goes further than the actual platform object. There are other ways to do this, the one with the itrs may disturb the gameplay a little bit, but it's a very easy method.
