Oh, I knew I missed something.

Yeah, thanks. although I didn't really miss it but maybe read too fast.

Mail from Marti arrived:

Marti: hi, max number of object in data.txt will be changed from 100 to 500

[NirvanaNeron (Travoisnero)]

That wll come very useful, especially since my characters take up 80% of the data. i can use alot of extra objects for the town system that i will test and the story cutscenes and dialogue.

I hope he can copy the AI of characters into 200-300. It would be great if they could use more AI especially for transformation
LouisEX and Firzen are the only 2 transformations and in stage mode, others will not be able to except IDs with those two character's ID codes.
i dont think he needs to make new ones, since he's working on a new game, just copy the same AIs of the original characters into new slots i mean.
I'm sure you get my point.

I'm getting excited to this new version of LF2.

Actually if you really need AI copied ask Rammichael. I doubt Marti will copy some stuff without any reason...

I also asked about background layer limit...

--Off-Topic--
I havent thought about that lol, probably because i dont recall ever talking to him before XD. I'll make sure to ask.

How far do you believe he will raise the BG Limit?
well, I believe it doesnt need to be raised to 100, backgrounds dont need that many frames actually.
maybe change the limit to about 60. Ive animated alot of backgrounds before and I dont think we will need that much unless they want a really smooth looking stage.

[MH-Razen]

well, I dont believe, I asked and wait for answer

And about layers: if there're more it's better. Earlier I planned to make videos in bg's, but couldn't -> found the limit with this

[Marshall]

do let us know ASAP whether the layer limit of BGs would be raised.

[MH-Razen]

Lol Marshall who do you think I am? Some kind oif person who tries to get info and then dont tell a word about it? Marti asked me if I could suggest a value and I suggested 100. You can animate a lot and if the images are not to large there'll not be to large backgrounds which will maybe overload the game...
Opinions plz

[NirvanaNeron (Travoisnero)]

opps, i meant not over 100 layers XD.

hmm... i believe there's nothing wrong with it.
some reason:
the backgrounds can now be broken down into fragments instead of large ones, as stated by MH-Razen.

many backgrounds with big background usually are giant gifs with animated scenery on them, they are the ones that make my game crash sometimes. loading those large gifs/background images takes a while and causes my pc to lose RAM, so the 100 limit will help separate these.
people cant now just make small sections of the background. ( I imagine a forest with transparent trees in front of the characters, that would be more realistic lol)

More Creative Backgrounds can be made with the 100 limit. Marshall&Mugen have made the most so far, but with this, their work will appear much better in quality and animation.

those are my thoughts of it. I dont think we need over 100, unless someone want to make a BG like Smash Bros that changes constantly overtime lol.
