Get your Custom NPCs right here folks!

I feel really dumb for saying this but...

I was still using the default defines.txt file...


Please don't hurt me.

Hey, I've been a n00b to.


At least you're trying to be competent.

 

(I hope this is the last post in which I'm complaining about something not working but...)
After getting everything setup for Momorin I came across a bug(?).
The NPC (In this case that would be ^) glides to the right until it hits an object (as if it's on a conveyer).
Also there are some sprite glitches but I think that's my fault for not making a walking animation before hand...
Did I mess something up again or is the a bug with the NPC?

 

cange add npc.X to add npc.Y at the gravity part

Thanks again! (Lots of progress has been made since I got this working)
One last question (Don't Quote me on that).
How would I change what sprite sheet an NPC will use?

 

sigh

Yeah, if you have anymore questions, just ask there.

I lurk a lot so I'm sure I'll see it.

 

Two requests:
1. A walking animation for Momorin.
2. A walking left animation for Kanpachi.
(both with gravity if possible)

Updating this request...


1. A walking NPC (same height as Momorin) that blinks when standing still and still has Momorin's animation (still with gravity).

2. An NPC that can change frames by the <ANP command (ex. <ANPxxxx:0001:000x = frame 1, <ANPxxxx:0002:000x = frame 2, etc.).

3. I'm sorry if I made this thread die/made myself hated here...

1. does it turn to face you?

3. It's fine

 

...does it turn to face you?

???

I'm assuming "it" is Momorin but I don't understand the "turn to face you" part.
Momorin only has one animation (other than blinking).

(Or maybe it's just to late in the evening to comprehend your question...)

 

circle one

 

this is why I love your teaching methods Nox, it's clear and concise.

If it's not too much work could you make that ^^^ toggelable?

(Either using Option 2/1 or <ANP?)



If it is too much work then don't do that. ^^^



P.s Thank you Noxid for making my day.

frame 1 = standing

frame 2 = walk1

frame 3 = walk 2

frame 4 = shocked



Setting direction to 2 (spawn with alt direction) makes it turn to face you.

shock does not revert back to standing sprite after X frames

You have easy requests

 

...You have easy requests

Not for long apparently...
(What is it with me and assembly?)
Just tried assembling and got this error.

"Line Number: 37
Line Contents :shock done

Cannot find instruction badc0de
in the binary table."

I can't confirm if this is because of defines.txt again because your link in the OP is broken.
(As a guess though I'd say this is something else this time)

whoop, I forgot you can't have spaces inside lables

change all instances of "shock done" to "shock_done"

Done and Done!

Now I just need to figure out why she wont walk left... (maybe because I used a <CNP with a direction of 2 and she wont turn around?)

Oh, and a frame is missing while walking(?).

(This happened with the other NPC you gave me)



When walking it seems to go on a Frame 1 -> Skip Frame 2 -> Frame 3 -> Loop.

(See top left of attachment for art stuff thats probably useful)

Walking is a 3 frame animation, look at curly below on the same sprite sheet.



Also why didn't you edit the framerect_distance so that you can just replace the red curlies instead of Sue on the spritesheet?

Should've worded that differently...
(Updated)

As for your other question...

I think it was one of these two reasons:

1. I wanted to keep it simple and not change the framerect for easier(?) editing.
2. I couldn't be bothered to fiddle with it until it was overtop of original Momorin.

I don't see what's wrong with my grammar.(?)

editing the Framerect distance is easy peasy, I purposely set it to 0 so that you could put it where you wanted. if you can't do that, then I don't know why I'm even making these if they can't be utilized properly.. (also you're making the Sue NPC worthless in the process )

 

All I got from that last statement is "My raging superiority complex is preventing me from making NPCS for people who don't know basic assembly."
