What's Left:
--Character bug fixes
--Various edits to make characters fit their source material better
--A second aerial attack
--A way to cancel Combo1 into Combo2 or visa-versa (without it being cheap)
--Competent AI (I need assistance for this one, please)
--Compatible bosses and minigames, maybe?
--Possibly a screenpack for a full game containing all of these characters (and the potential bosses and minigames)
--More characters, of course!

If you have any contributions at all, ranging from glitch reports to moveset advice to sprite sheets to full characters, I would be humbled to happily accept them with open arms. ^u^
(Please note, however that any fully-programmed characters may be edited by myself for compatibility with other characters or bug fixing)

There's no exact limits as to who can or can't be accepted for the Mythos project, barring a lack of resources or interest, though any characters specifically made by me will likely be made out of interest for the character/franchise.

GREAT!!!

I started playing mugen through those Chibi Naruto characters, and you're really right on your point, most of them are unbalanced and kinda cheap against common chars and other chibis too.

I'm really looking forward to see this project growing!

Thanks for the support, guys! ^u^

As for coming with stages and a screenpack, I uh... I have no experience in making either of those. But I would make this a full game if I had either of those, for sure. If you want to supplying either of those, or know anyone who could supply them, I'd be incredibly thankful for your support.

for the MYTHOS project, may I request that you add characters from the Kirby franchise?
I even have the transformation alts in mind

Kirby - one of his copy abilities
King Dedede - Masked Dedede
Meta Knight - ...I don't really know with this one

Why settle for one?

good seeing you shiruzato hope we'll see you more often on the forum

Whoa, I just tried out your awesome MUGEN products!     Very fun to play with!  

The in-game MUGEN transformation is very interesting, especially the GokuM's!
And you know due to MUGEN Engine limit, whenever your transformed GokuM is being thrown by his MUGEN Enemy, his hair turns back to black and after he recovers from the throw his hair turns gold again.
I know some cool MUGEN creators/authors have been trying to make some work-around for this MUGEN Engine limit (i.e. by using MUGEN custom state detection, making thrown one invisible, add a MUGEN Helper to try to mimic thrown gold-hair GokuM as close as possible.....etc..... )

Found a couple of MUGEN bugs in your GokuM :

1) after the last hit (the 4th) of Combo2, I could quick perform a Projectile in the air, which looks fine to GokuM, yet, after his Projectile MUGEN state ends by the end of animation, he stays in the air until you jump out of that:

in case giphy not working for you...:

=> you may want to fix this MUGEN bug like this:
in your GokuM's MUGEN Statedef 250
Change from this:

Code:

[State 250]
type = changestate
trigger1 = animtime = 0
value = 0
ctrl = 1

to this:

Code:

[State 250]
type = changestate
triggerall = pos y < 0.0
trigger1 = animtime = 0
value = 50
ctrl = 0

[State 250]
type = changestate
triggerall = pos y >= 0.0
trigger1 = animtime = 0
value = 0
ctrl = 1

The fixed version looks like this:

in case giphy not working for you...:

2) during GokuM (normal mode, not transformed)'s Super Lvl2, his MUGEN Vicitm is able to break out of his super combo in the middle, it is because his MUGEN Vicitm is put in his get-hit custom state Statedef 1007, but his MUGEN Vicitm is given GokuM's MUGEN animation Action 1007, due to the use of the ChangeAnim MUGEN State Controller, that results in an invalid animation Action for his MUGEN Vicitm:

in case giphy not working for you...:

=> you may want to fix this MUGEN bug like this:
in your GokuM's MUGEN Statedef 1007
Change from this:

Code:

[State 0, ChangeAnim]
type = ChangeAnim
trigger1 = !time
trigger1 = p2name != "Luffy JUS"
trigger1 = p2name != "Shadow JUS"
value = 1007+var(1)

to this:

Code:

[State 0, ChangeAnim2]
type = ChangeAnim2
trigger1 = !time
trigger1 = p2name != "Luffy JUS"
trigger1 = p2name != "Shadow JUS"
value = 1007;+var(1)

* please note that you never know what GokuM's MUGEN Vicitm's MUGEN Variables are about....so it is safer to disable the "+var(1)" for the ChangeAnim2 MUGEN State Controller, plus, your GokuM's animation Action 1007+1=1008 probably causes another invalid animation Action for his MUGEN Vicitm.

(Many useful notes)

These are very accurate notes, especially the notes about the enemy's variables -- But there was a reason for that, at least. Was.

var(1) is used for transformations and transformation animations, so when put in a custom state, it adds the opponent's var(1) value onto the animation so that the transformed animation plays instead of the base form animation (take, for example, your note earlier on how Goku's hair would turn black again during a throw due to the custom state not detecting the transformation).

The only issue, as you mentioned, is that this causes problems with other MUGEN characters. These inconveniences are precisely why the MYTHOS project characters were to be used exclusively among themselves.

But no more.


That issue has been completely fixed for the next release, and all characters should be able to safely interact with all other MUGEN characters! The only issues I can't really help with are the custom animations of other characters or their hitboxes not allowing the combos to properly chain, but oh well. I can only do so much, right?


As for Goku being able to cancel into his projectile in the air... Good catch. That's embarrassing and unintentional.


By the way, I'm already making a lot of progress -- I was going to release eight characters this time, but I think I'll finish the fourth one soon and then finish the other four later.


Thank you for the feedback -- always appreciated!


EDIT: I'll also be posting the new updates to this main thread as well. Just to keep things consistent.

>> var(1) is used for transformations and transformation animations, so when put in a custom state, it adds the opponent's var(1) value onto the animation so that the transformed animation plays instead of the base form animation (take, for example, your note earlier on how Goku's hair would turn black again during a throw due to the custom state not detecting the transformation).
Well, it works as expected if it is used in a MUGEN full game like yours, it is because probably all your MYTHOS MUGEN characters have both MUGEN animation Actions 1007&1008.

Yet, you might never know whether the other MUGEN users will use other nono-MYTHOS MUGEN characters or not though.....

For general/regular MUGEN usage, if you want to keep using GokuM's var(1) then I think there is a MUGEN way :

Code:

[State 0, ChangeAnim2]
type = ChangeAnim2
triggerall = name = "Goku Mythos" || name = "Sonic Mythos" || name = "Luffy Mythos" || name = "Mario Mythos" || name = "Zero Mythos"
trigger1 = !time
trigger1 = p2name != "Luffy JUS"
trigger1 = p2name != "Shadow JUS"
value = 1007+var(1) ; need to "+var(1)" because it is a MYTHOS MUGEN character

[State 0, ChangeAnim2]
type = ChangeAnim2
triggerall = name != "Goku Mythos"
triggerall = name != "Sonic Mythos"
triggerall = name != "Luffy Mythos"
triggerall = name != "Mario Mythos"
triggerall = name != "Zero Mythos"
trigger1 = !time
trigger1 = p2name != "Luffy JUS"
trigger1 = p2name != "Shadow JUS"
value = 1007 ; no need to "+var(1)" because it is a non-MYTHOS MUGEN character

This is a way to use GokuM's var(1) when his MUGEN Victim is being put in his MUGEN Custom State like Statedef 1007 and to need to use the var(1) only when the MUGEN Victim's is exactly "Goku" (or any other MYTHOS MUGEN character)......of course, it is all up to you.......

>> The only issues I can't really help with are the custom animations of other characters or their hitboxes not allowing the combos to properly chain, but oh well. I can only do so much, right?
Well, when I come across with similar MUGEN issues like this, I do it two (2) MUGEN ways :
1) detect your MUGEN Victim's custom state(s) your MUGEN character has given to them, then in your MUGEN character's own attack MUGEN animation try to make two (2) versions -- 1 with normal-sized hitboxes when MUGEN Victim is not put in your custom state(s), and 1 with super-sized hitboxes when MUGEN Victim is put in your custom state(s)
2) just like your MUGEN animation Action 1007, make another version like Action 1017 with bigger-sized hitboxes for all non-MYTHOS MUGEN Victims
I think there should be more MUGEN ways for a work-around, but you know we are not able to do much with MUGEN Engine limited get-hit Custom States.......

>> Yet, you might never know whether the other MUGEN users will use other nono-MYTHOS MUGEN characters or not though.....

This is a way to use GokuM's var(1) when his MUGEN Victim is being put in his MUGEN Custom State like Statedef 1007 and to need to use the var(1) only when the MUGEN Victim's is exactly "Goku" (or any other MYTHOS MUGEN character)......of course, it is all up to you.......

I understand that people might just use the MYTHOS characters with whoever, so I always felt bad having to leave that in there. Hence why they've been fixed for the next release -- I really don't like leaving such massive room for a potential error.

>> 1) detect your MUGEN Victim's custom state(s) your MUGEN character has given to them, then in your MUGEN character's own attack MUGEN animation try to make two (2) versions -- 1 with normal-sized hitboxes when MUGEN Victim is not put in your custom state(s), and 1 with super-sized hitboxes when MUGEN Victim is put in your custom state(s)
2) just like your MUGEN animation Action 1007, make another version like Action 1017 with bigger-sized hitboxes for all non-MYTHOS MUGEN Victims

These sound like a great ways to make sure the attacks flow as they should -- Thanks for the advice, I'll be using it.

Oh sorry I forgot this one :
>> As for Goku being able to cancel into his projectile in the air... Good catch. That's embarrassing and unintentional.
Actually I think that combo2-cancel-into-projectile is quite cool
Perhaps you might consider to keep that, and try to make the follow-up projectile be able to continue to hit GokuM's MUGEN Victim
And nothing to be felt embarrassing at all...we are not those video game making professionals (i.e. computer software programmers engineers experts hackers doctors whoever) who work like 24/7 just for MUGEN making and who go for some eternally absolute perfection just to want to prove something...I have been making many more MUGEN making mistakes (and some of those are intentional so that is why so many MUGEN people hate me LOL ) all the times.... 

And a typo mistake in my "2) just like your MUGEN animation Action 1007, make another version like Action 1017 with bigger-sized hitboxes for all non-MYTHOS MUGEN Victims"
The "hitboxes" should be "hurtboxes"....

This project looks really cool.

Hope the progress is going smoothly.

R7 is here, guys! Big changes are coming up for the project, and they're all for the better!

I'll be releasing characters in a more conventional method in the future, one by one, since I'll be getting more busy lately and won't have as much time to create characters. That being said, this isn't a hiatus, so look forward to a more steady stream of content in the future!


EDIT: Almost forgot to mention, the new characters this release are Goku Black, Gon, Tails and Peach! Have fun trying them out, and let me know if you find any bugs!
