Hi, Paul Matthew here, I thought I would use this post to say some stuff.

When mugen 1.1 got leaked on MFG I was doing a little experimenting, like adding transparent animated static behind the blue bar. (nothing special, was just checking out the 32bit colour, so no effort was put into this, however I am going to be remaking this lifebar.)

Spoiler:

Lately I haven't really touched Mugen much at all, and my reasons being:
-My job, school and my gf.
-When I'm at home and got some free time, I just want to chillax, and for me that is normally watching/reading anime/manga or gaming.

I'm feeling motivated again though, so hopefully I can get some work done on that lifebar. (:
I'm still a novice when it comes to the coding part though, so if anyone can enlighten me on the coding side of things that would be great thanks. I also have skype if that would make things easier.

Duuuude, that looks real nice!:Enjoyment: 

Oooohh yes, looking good there mate.

have you thought about putting fancy as stuff in the lifebars now that we can use 32bit png's?

Spoiler:

They look fine as is, dont need fancy stuff.
What exactly do you need help with on the coding side? I think its simple enough to be clarified on the forum

And to think that you pretty much made that in Paint. Dude, you're a natural!

Imagine this guy on photoshop :Shieet: 

I actually promised Paul to help him get started with Photoshop some time ago, but I was at this "Fuck Mugen, i'mma quit" phase.

What phase are you in now?

Probably the "I've got nothing better to do except waste my time on Mugen" phase

I already made lighting sprites, though this will be a part of Electro-bar itself, but if you meant for the lifebar edit I showed in this post I had something else in mind.

I was thinking like certain animations only happen when someone is hit or the portrait with the frame shakes slightly when hit, things like that.

Oh that. Well that can only be done through character coding. Mugen is pretty limiting with everything except characters.

Though my feelings toward 1.1 haven't changed, these look nice Paul. Good luck.

I may merge this with your prior project thread, rather than being in mugen discussion.

Regardless, these look really nice so far.

No problem, that one was an old edit though, I am redrawing all the sprites right now to be 1.1 worthy.

Shame this is on 1.1

The sprites look within about 256 colors so I don't think converting it to 1.0 should take too much time
