Stage Workshop

[Bad Box Art Mega Man]

NES game = / = 3DS game

i know. why not have a bit of VC representation in there?

This has happened to me before. I believe that's to do with the order in brawlbox...
Try putting them in a ModelData[ # ] with a higher index than the water model. Should fix the problem as far as I know.

Or it could simply be coincidence that this solution worked for me... xD

I had to move it to the same ModelData as the water.  I had all of my animated bits in ModelData[1] before because somewhere I read that I can only have animated collisions in ModelData[1].  Moving this down to the same ModelData as my water plane solved the issue.  I had tried moving my water plane up to the same ModelData as the beam earlier and that didn't solve the issue, so I'm clueless as to why moving it managed to solve the problem.  I don't care, it works now.

@DSX8, I had tried your suggestion, and had tried toggling almost every option that I could find in the materials for both the beam and the water, nothing was working.  On the upside, I now understand a lot more about how those materials work from tweaking them so much, and now my beam looks better because of it haha.

@SonicBrawler: Nice basic stage.  It's simple but effective and pretty.  Keep it up man.

@Angelglory: I would put a bit of time into UVmapping that 3DS properly.  Right now the stretched textures on the sides of everything makes my head hurt.  Other than that, I'd be interested in seeing some Mutant Mudds or SteamWorld Dig love in that stage.

That looks pretty good

How about Megaman Legends 3 Mario vs Donkey Kong?

and here is my first stage. all thats left is to get a good camera system going cuz right now its odd

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I may add a few more spaceish pokemon or something

Why not adding Deoxys? The Space pokemon could fit well in this stage... Just suggesting though...

This is why this community really needs to have some kind of material/shader documentation project. A handful of people methodically and thoroughly messing with shader parameters like this could create a comprehensive guide on understanding and using them, which is something that a lot of hackers could really use.

Also, nice job on the stage so far!

Haha, told you it should work xD No idea why it works though, I'm guessing something to do with transparency and the priority that it loads the models. But I could be wrong :P

I believe someone used this "glitch" as a feature in a stage. Portals open up around the stage and you can see a second model behind the normal one. I think one model was a desert and the other was the same location but in the past, covered in grass and trees. Was pretty cool!

There is documentation, right here:

Although is not something easy to read.

Although is not something easy to read.

78% of the words mentioned  aren't even words I haven't learned yet,

[LlamaJuice]

I was going to link to that as it was rather helpful, but yea... really not easy to read at all.

I'm not at the point of being able to really teach someone how to make a material or shader, so I wouldn't feel confident in being able to put a guide together or anything like that just yet.  I'm sure Mewtwo2000 or DSX8 would be able to do so though :P

Also, was trying to animate my camera when the stage splits apart, loaded up the map and this happened.

BustedLighting

I was just surprised at how well it matched the music.

Now I'm trying to create waves that crash into the shores.  Painting waves is strange.  I don't know where to begin with a lot of it.

ill be honest with ya here... animating a camera doesnt work in brawl (i even imported scn0's from other wii games that has animated camera's and they dont work at all)

and since u added frames to the scn0, ur scn0 lighting got all messed up

[LlamaJuice]

So is there any way to do something like Bridge of Eldin where the thing spawns in the middle and stretches the camera there while the bridge is being repaired?  Or do I just not have any control over camera stuff at all?

[Peardian]

@Dr: I'm glad that exists at least, but they key word I mentioned is "comprehensive". Not even I would be able to use that for anything, and I know most of those terms.

Smashville may be a good starting point. They may be cartoony waves, but they could give you ideas.

[LlamaJuice]

I based my waves off of the work I did in a previous game.  Was able to setup the shader/materials pretty easy for this one. (I'm getting the hang of this thing)

QuickWaterDemo

I wanted the waves to be subtle, but enough to just break up the massive water plane out there.

I think next is the clouds, and possibly adding smoke coming out of the chimneys in the houses in the background.... and then I might be done?... feels weird to almost be done.  I don't know if I like it.

all the shaking is controlled via .rel file.. so yeah, u dont have any control over that.. the best chance to shake would be to make the whole stage shake, and man talk about alot of keyframes for that lol :/

[DSX8]

have some in-game pics of the spirit tracks stage... coloring on the castle is fixed tho.. just ignore the blue shade to it xD

[BlueBrain]

please add alfonzo in there...
