Got a feeling that it should be on the forums too about LF2 Remastered mods and Marti's view. Could not find it here. Bite me if I am wrong.

P.S sorry if pic is too big, using phone.

Levi's Best choice Background remaster

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 15:41:13 +0200

Introduction
My second project for "Remaster flourishment", or "HBized LF2R" as a nickname, is to import the best background that I created and revamped to LF2R, also to fill in the shortage of customized backgrounds in the environment.

My aim is to use a mix of AI enlargement and simple zooming to port these backgrounds as soon as possible, then do minor tweaks and let them loose on the field.
I will also accept suggestions to improve them (in LF2R) in between and after porting project.

Progress
Porting - Using a mixture of simple and AI-assisted image scaling, produce LF2R compatible background with high speed and quality

Refining - Perform fixes in artifacts and defects that cannot be done in part 1

LF2R Custom AI

Mon, 11 Aug 2025 06:52:08 +0200

I've spent some reverse engineering lf2r to get custom AI working. Git repo available here: https://github.com/Doix/lf2r-custom-ai

Not everything is ported, but I ported enough to get Sauce AI working. It's a direct conversion from AngelScript -> Javascript so it doesn't take into account any LF2R specific differences and might not be perfect, but it's much better than default LF2 AI.

The port is here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/7vvm6abeq...2.zip/file

Winnie Remastered!

Wed, 06 Aug 2025 16:10:20 +0200

Introduction
As one of the spearhead data changers in the Little FIghter 2 Remaster, I present to you Winnie.
This project is aimed to recreate the iconic wind girl that sat between the end of development of LF2: Story of HongBa and beginning of revamped characters that explore high level data changing.
She is definitely not associated with Windy.

Who is Winnie?
This post in LF-Empire describes most of that.
https://lf-empire.de/forum/showthread.ph...pid=206602
So what is her significance?
By time, she is the second earliest female character ported from v2.0a era to LF2R. (The first is Mahoro).
By personal opinion, she is just... important. Think her as an incaration of somebody significant.
By technology, she employs one of the most unique data changing techniques in game: Type-changing transformation.
While I have a bunch of even more advanced technologies on hand, she is an important inspiration.

What am I going to do with her?
The roadmap is vague, but I have done some crucial things:

Port her properly and do some basic image quality fixing:
That means her graphics aren't just zoomed in 300% with lots of pixelation.
Make sure all her techniques work.
Thanks to the very faithful state machine transplanation from v2.0a to LF2R, the prime technology was executed without flaw and therefore
Winnie miraculously revives in LF2R.

What's next is mostly around graphics, since her balance has been rigoriously tested and only need slight tweaking, and therefore has little need to alter moves.
I will find a way to minimize the impact of removing the dark pixels on her sprite boundaries (these were used to outline herself in v2.0a era where characters are forced to be small and surrounded by dark pixel boundaries).
Also try to improve project quality with some transparency trick.

I won't use LF2R freeze's whirlwind because it's blurred and too soft for my taste (Try TS to understand why!)

Full move list can be seen in post in LF-Empire above.
After you extract the package, you will find readme file (offline webpage) which also contains full move list.

This is to show her full extent, which because I predict plenty of material can be ported from v2.0a to LF2R, she can do all the techniques in these videos:

Stage 5 difficult full run

But I want to know her moves now!
Fine. It's more tricky than usual fighters though:

First week modding recap!

Thu, 31 Jul 2025 15:25:29 +0200

Hello! We've been busy on the discord server, but that is inaccessible - so I figured I make some initial things we've established since the Remaster release public.

First of all, the game logic of the Remaster is exactly the same. That means all your experience working with the original (and most of the tutorials here) will carry over!
(except for some edge cases, where the new engine is structured differently or causes the logic to act differently)

Now to the differences. Data files are no longer encrypted. That means only txt instead of dat files.
There are a few new tags here and there as well (including sound for backgrounds!), but the object files in particular also have a new syntax. It's just a leaner version of the original (probably just to fit Martis current preference as he intends to work with this and add new content). Here is a potentially incomplete comparison between original and new:

Code:
old                      new

:    

\                        /

                          resized

                          default_centerx

                          default_centery

                bmp>

              f>

bdy                      
itr                      
bpoint                    
wpoint                    
cpoint                    
opoint                    
bdy_end                  b>

itr_end                  i>

bpoint_end                bp>

wpoint_end                w>

cpoint_end                c>

opoint_end                o>

sound: data              sound: mp3

.wav

The significant new ones are the default center tags that allow you to skip having them in every frame as well as a resized tag that can scale the sprite up and down. However I would not recommend messing with that one, as it will give the object a different relative sprite resolution on screen to everything else. (either looking way blurrier or way sharper, don't do it unless you are making a full mod where resolution is different across the board)

Another significant change about the asset structure is that object files no longer reference their sprite sheet images directly.
Instead they reference json files that act like a full fledged sprite atlas, not just a grid sheet. These manually define the exact size and position of every sprite tile on the actual image.

The important bit with those is that the individual frame names in the json file need to correctly reference both the data file name as well as the json filename itself.
The json frame name format looks like this:

datafilename-jsonfilename-picnumber.png

This means that a json file belongs to exactly one data file. You cannot use it multiple times.

However the actual image that the json file works with defined in the meta tag at the very bottom can be anything you like. So here, multiple json files can all reference the same image.

This new structure is great for combining sprites of different dimensions without wasting a lot of blank space. For a port of my gold knight for example I had to merge the wide attack and falling sprite sheets with the square standard ones. (and ended up with a lot less assets loaded in total)

And about the default character sprites. Everything has a 3 times higher resolution, but things also have a new buffer all around the edge, leading to standard 270 character sprite sizes (3x90) rather than the expected 240 (3x80). This does change all the frame centers and element offsets in the original data files. (the widths and heights remain the same)

Next up: Core game edits are way easier as well. Both menu graphics and the game code itself are directly accessible. The js files of the game are a bit obfuscated and scrambled, but that is still much more accessible than wading through a compiled executable.

Just don't share these js files around, since this is a commercial product now. Share diffs and patches that still require owning the game instead.
(data1master/silva/boop/doix already has a debug console and other things ready)

And lastly some things where the game behaves significantly different: populating object data and extreme values.

Object data in particular is not filled with default values like in the original, but instead just doesn't exist.
As an example, if the game tries to put an object into frame 374 - but that frame doesn't exist - the game loop will get stuck and you need to relaunch it.
(opposed to the original putting you into a blank frame you can walk out of)
I imagine you could paste 399 blank frames at the top of a file you are working in (like etc) to get the original behaviour back, but I have not tested that yet.
The actual frames below would then overwrite these empty frames with the right data.

And for extreme values, instead of overflowing (going from positive to negative if you exceed max int and vice versa) they now have infinity, negative infinity and NaN.
This means that funky stuff like the cursed itr no longer work - but instead we can use these new values for new effects.
Infinity values will be mostly stuck where they are (so you can have true god mode or single character only F6).
Subtracting infinity from an infinity will result in NaN (not a number), which often acts differently than any other value due to making a lot of conditions default to false.
And for some values there are still ways to recover from these so they aren't terminal. An itr kind 9 for example will still reset the objects hp back to zero, even if it is infinite.

That's about it from the top of my head.
If you are young with too much time on your hands (like us oldheads used to around 2010) and want to get into messing around with the Remaster, we will help you out

(DC) LF2R Unlock all chars

(DC) LF2R Unlock all chars

I've mentioned this in my "LF2R Recolor Mod" thread, but this deserves an original post for all those, who, like me, don't care about Achievement grind, so here goes:

IDs 30-59 are hidden, until you enter the cheat, but, unlike original LF2, in LF2R, when you type in HF2.NET in main menu, you also need Achievements to unlock/open up all characters, so you'll need to re-number the IDs, just follow the instructions and you'll be fine:

open _data text-file in

resources\app\_res_data

and add/replace the following lines at the begining of the text-document (under "")

Code:
id:  0  type: 0  file: _res_data/template-r

(DC) LF2R How to add bgs

Sat, 26 Jul 2025 12:07:50 +0200

(DC) LF2R How to add bgs

0. Hello, dear sirs and ladies! Class is in session and today we'll learn, how to add backgrounds (bgs), aka maps, to your beloved LF2R. So, without further ado, let's start and learn something, in the hopes, that more people will get into LF2R gaming modding scene and produce some new material for the game...

1. Put your pictures-sprites to

\resources\app\_res_bg\

as an example I'll take "Devil's Hall", so the folder/pathway is

resources\app\_res_bg\devil

2. Let's check the LF3BYTITASZIBIKAS "Devil's_Hall" "bg.dat", that is

Code:
name: Devil's_Hall

width: 2400  zboundary: 374 518  

shadow: bg\template\devil\shadow.bmp  shadowsize: 37 9

layer:

  bg\template\devil\loop1.bmp

  transparency: 1 width: 2400  x: 0  y: 128  loop: 509

layer_end

layer:

  bg\template\devil\tt.bmp

  transparency: 1 width: 2400  x: 839  y: 128

layer_end

As you can see, there is a "name" of the "bg", which you can change to your liking, and the pictures-sprites pathways are in ".bmp", so make sure your pictures/sprites are in .png format.

3. In your freshly created pathway, or, in this case, "devil" folder create a text-document "bg_x3", that is

Code:
name: Devil's_Hall

width: 2400  zboundary: 374 518  

shadow: _res_bg\devil\shadow.png  shadowsize: 37 9

layer:

  _res_bg\devil\loop1.png

  transparency: 1 width: 2400  x: 0  y: 128  loop: 509

layer_end

layer:

  _res_bg\devil\tt.png

  transparency: 1 width: 2400  x: 839  y: 128

layer_end

Make sure you have all the correct pictures-sprites to all the correct pathways and again in ".png" format. There's always a chance, that some pictures-sprites are missing, so be careful (create the missing pictures-sprites, if necessary), otherwise the game will hang, won't work or simply crash.

4. Open _data text-file in

resources\app\_res_data

and add the following line at the end to the text-document (under ""), which is in your created folder/pathway

id: 15 file: _res_bg/devil/bg_x3

so it will look like this

Code:

id: 4    file: _res_bg/hkc/bg_x3

id: 2    file: _res_bg/lf/bg_x3

id: 3    file: _res_bg/sp/bg_x3

id: 5    file: _res_bg/gw/bg_x3

id: 6    file: _res_bg/qi/bg_x3

id: 7    file: _res_bg/ft/bg_x3

id: 8    file: _res_bg/bc/bg_x3

id: 1    file: _res_bg/cuhk/bg_x3

id: 0    file: _res_bg/thv/bg_x3

id: 9    file: _res_bg/wc/bg_x3

#id: 10    file: _res_bg/template1/bg

#id: 11    file: _res_bg/template2/bg

#id: 12    file: _res_bg/template3/bg

id: 15    file: _res_bg/devil/bg_x3

I love you, my man, and your game is a genius level masterpiece! Have you seen this beauty, my gentle reader? A work of Art! --- and I decided to sharpen up my digital pencils/brushes by Recoloring all chars/bgs sprites even FURTHER. Since I can't actually post the game's modified skins with the full version of the game (buy the game! Start modding yourself today!!), I'll be posting my mod separately and, when I'm done with the project, I'll show you, how to easily and safely install it with a video or, of course, you can consult the READMEs. So, if You (the Reader/Player) are here, you probably want mods. Here they are! Let the fun begin!! Thank you and have a nice day!!!

Lf2 remaster Mods

Wed, 23 Jul 2025 03:40:41 +0200

Hi guys, long time no see, right?
I've played the remastered LF2, and I liked it. I have some suggestions and a few questions.
Will there be a section for mods?
I've already modified the game — it seems to use the same system as the original LF2.
What do you think?
