[CHARs/MOD] Trio Mortale

[Alblaka]

Version 1.22

TADA!
My first "mod" (yes, i call a amount of 10 chars a mod), completely finished, (i hope) debugged and even resprited. ^^

The download can be found here and includes several dat-files, even more bmp-sprites and a complete Readme with full information about installing, deinstalling and detailed character move discriptions.
And you REALLY need to download ALL files. If you start the mod without the required sprites, it will crash of course. Like all mods would do...
If you already downloaded this mod and you wan't to update it to a new version, you need in general only the main ("Trio Mortale.zip") part, otherwise i will note it in the Update-List (4th spoiler).

Though this is my first project/mod/extension/char collection, i hope, it's good enough to be worth played. Surely completely new sprites would have been much better, but i'm glad i at least got it to recolour the standard sprites (and that was difficult (at least for me)).
The moves are debugged, state- and wpointerrors are removed, the animation are not new (they are all of the basic sprites, recoloured only), but only a few moves look like the old ones: Remixing really works ^^

Most chars are even well balanced (in my eyes, i'm not a pro, but i wouldn't call me a n00b, too), but i preferred to make it balanced for PvP, so some moves can be slightly powerful in Stage Mode.
There are some REALLY powerful moves: They are called "Ultimates". Most chars have at least one ultimate, some ones severals and one guy has none, but can combine some abilitys to make every of his attacks damn strong.
The ultimates either use masses of mp (and even hp), have a long loading time or are simply very difficult to use.
Additional nearly all characters have evading moves. This moves are used like normal moves, but (correctly timed) can revent you from getting hurt. Very useful to counter Ultimates.

And now the thing you all waited for; the screenshots:

Onimaru's "Shogun's Blade"


Amaya's "Dark Ritual"


Rim's "Ultimate Finishing"


Avien's "Melody of Storms"


Kamil's "Critical Shot"


Night's "Apocalypse"


Ijen's "32 Nails"


Etox's "Void Crash"


Jaw's "Mine Field"


Nemesis' "Frost Ray"


All shown moves are Ultimates. (Besides Nemesis' one, that is a normal move... but in combination with his Ultimate-PowerUp it will get ultimate, too ^^)
The most are much more spectacular as looking on this screens, but it are only SCREENS XD

For more detailed informatons please play the game, read the Readme or ask the developer.

Further, here i will begin a buglist for all known, fixed and intendesd bugs/"bugs":
(Please read it, before you try to tell us a "new" bug)

Spoiler (Click to View)

Chars drop hold weapons in some moves
INTENDED
This mechanism will prevent players from spamming ultimates. Some of them can be very annoying, if you are able to beer-cast them all over the time.

The new chars won't be choosen if i choose "Random"
INTENDED
The new chars are without any id-specific AI.
That means, if you choose "Random" for an enemy and it chooses one of the new chars, your enemy would fight like a Template... therefore i disabled random choose


PM me or post here, if you find more bugs.

Here you can access a list of fixes, balances and whatever, which came with new versions:

Spoiler (Click to View)

v1.00
-My first mod, "slightly" debugged XD

v1.16
-Avien's Run- and Dash-Attacks (Fire&Ice Slash) are now able to hit multiple enemies. The mp of ice slash got increased slightly (Damn, his dash has a really big range...)
-Onimaru will automatically attack the enemy from behind, when he uses Shadow Strike. (Of course only, if you look towards the enemy )
-Jaw's Shockwave was pretty useless up to know. I found the reason (wait:0 + itr:1 = desaster) and now his attack is MUCH more effective. And more expensive.
-To make Etox's Void Crash less powerful, it will take 150 hp now and additional he will automatically transform back into normal state after that move.
-I already removed a bug, occuring with transformations. It screwed up Etox's sprites, if he finished a stage. Like i said, that problem i have solved... but i forget to disable the bug in case of an Etox IN ETHERAL STATE finishing a stage... Bug completely fixed now ^^
-Etox's Collapse Portal activates much faster now
-Fixed some missing wpoints on Rim's Smash
-And some more on Onimaru's Shogun's Blade
-The really low damage of Amaya's punches got increased, same with his Blast punch
-And here i fixed a whole mass of wpoints, too (you see, it was one of the first chars ^^)
-Nemesis' Frost Ray won't longer collapse if it get hit by something. A bug made a chain reaction possible: You shot a ball against the ray and the hit part exploded, making it both neighbours to explode, too etc... In end, nemesis freezed himself... I have fixed that
-All kind of Void Balls deal less damage now. Simply overpowered
-Avien's Melody of Storms is now much more interesting: The whirlwinds will approach from changing sides ^^ And (that was a bug) you cannot block them infinite now... (i forgot to set a bdefend-value >.>)
-The effect area of Jaw's Flame Defense is smaller now. He should be hitable without problems from behind now (if you not RUN into him). Also, he won't hit enemys multiple times in a row, if they run into him...
-Amaya's energy balls (Dark Energy) look like Justin's now ^^ and he shots them slightly slower
-Jaw's traps won't spring so sensitive now (You only needed to come into theire near...). It makes them easier evadeable.

v.1.22
-Rim's catching radius (of pain-dancing enemys) got increased slightly, making it more easy for him to catch opponents.
-Also, you can press J while punching to instantly perform a Smash Move (Remember, that one will kickdown all enemys, not stun them)
-From now on, all hitsparks of all-field-attacks (For example Amaya's Shadow Wrath) are invisible. Looks better XD
-To prevent Avien from jumping into enemys at the end of his ultimate move, he will do another turn at the beginning of it... you will see...
-Additional his freezing time got reduced by 33%. He's master of elementals, what do you exspect? ^^
-Range of the attacks "Power Dash" (Night) and "Bash" (Ijen) got increased.

edit:
Sry, but i need to make space for my new projects, so i had to delete the attachments here.

[zero_legends]

Wow dude really sweet. In fact I'll download it right now ! ( didn't yet but after the post. ) . Oh and just a tip :

Upload the whole file or maybe these downloads u gave of the parts of the game in MediaFire or SaveFile. It'll save your attachment quota.

About your signature :

What should I do now?!

Maybe u can help me on my mod that I'm making. I'm not such a pro of DCing and some moves of the chars are really hard to DC ( for me ). The problem was school. Cause of exams I compleitly focuesd on school and forgot all the DCiend that I knew. Well I still have a little bit. Anyways if you're interested then PM me or if anyone is interested in helping me then PM me. I'll completely handle the sprites. Thanks.

[Bamboori]

and one more prove that a good mod needs no (real) new sprites
this is my opinion^^

i didnt even download it for now (ofc i will), but according to the post you invested a lot of time thinking about every char to be perfect.
thumbs up, man!

What should I do now?!

train your skillz, train your DC, train your Spriting...
a lot to train :P
or, if you want to make something other, try the game maker 7
thats what im doing besides school atm ^^

and, just to advertise my new smileys:

[skelguardian]

wohow, thats some nice mod you got there!
especially for you're first time!
i agree with bamboori , i mostly like the looks of the characters from the original lf2 more then those from mod version =/

another thumps up from me!

[Faidan]

and two thumbs up from me.

[Alblaka]

Thx guys, but pls tell me if there are things like overpowered attacks etx in your oppinion...

I'm sure, i HAVE made errors somewhere, so it is impossible if everyone says only positive things XD

[snorsorbet]

Here are some negative things:
Almost every move that requiers a charge is impossible o use practically.
And the movements of the moves are often not very fluid.
The best character is the one who looks like Dennis, because his moves don't charge forever.

[Alblaka]

o.O
Stupid Firefox, seems to hadn't posted my message
*typing it again*

Surely some charge times are really big. The longest should be Amaya's. the reason is simple: otherwise the attacks would be WAY to strong.
Additional, most chars (like Amaya, Avien etx) are supporters. They are perfect if they get cover by some team mates.
Characters like Ijen or Onimaru are great lone brawlers. They fight well for themselves and theire attacks have only low charge times of course ^^

[zero_legends]

@ Alblaka : Wow. U really seem to be on a " thanking people spree ! ".


Back to topic :


I finally finished download and I'm really in a hurry to play cause u my pal are a good guy !

So I'll give u my opinions on the mod when I'm done playing with all chars.

PS : By the way , I'm done with Vincent's first sprite sheet : vincent_0

[Alblaka]

Thx for the information, got your PN ^^ *looking on the 20 tabs with new treads/PNS* Could take some minutes until i find it XD

And the thanking spree has the reason, that i need to thank more... I think, getting thanked more often then you thank yourself is kinda stupid... Don't ask me why XD

And i really thank everyone looking in this tread... this is the first of my 10 (counting mods from all games) mods, that seems to get downloaded more then 3 times ^^
