Fighter Factory Studio 3.5.2 (UPDATED May, 31)

[VirtuallTek]

Fighter Factory Studio released!

After one year of work, 13 years before release of the first edition, we are glad to launch Fighter Factory Studio to the public. This new version is a huge improvement over any previous edition.

Although it lacks some features, it's a solid base to upcoming functions that will be added. As said on previous announcements, we aim to be able to edit every single game asset, on any engine we add support. Fighter Factory was designed to be a character editor, version 3 added support to more formats, but on Studio we extend this to the maximum level.

The reworked code-base is powerful, scalable, extensible and very stable. Everything is ready for big new features like BGs editor on M.U.G.E.N's module and OpenBoR support. There's no limit for what we can do in this edition, and we have plans to extend almost all functions.

Here you can download latest version and older ones as well (including all versions from 1.0 to 3.0), and some important public content in our Blog. All exclusive content will be posted in our Patreon page.

 

Change log:

• Split on modules with support for multiple engines.
• Project file explorer (will be essential for full game development).
• OpenGL is mandatory, but a software rasterizer alternative is available too.
• Updated to latest version of Qt framework.
• Hybrid parser/syntax highlighter (smarter, faster and more reliable).
• Multi-threaded (long tasks are split across all available CPU cores).
• Import from another project can import from any supported engine too, and has collision resolution.
• Backup function restore files by replacing them and reloading, instead of just loading the backup on memory without changes in the original files.
• 'Project -> Save' improved. Saves all modified files and call save as for those who lives on memory only as expected, on all projects of the same 'group'.
• 'Project -> Save as' improved. Saves all files of the current 'project group' to a new folder (copy them in its current state to a new folder). Eg.: open a character, make a copy of it on another folder to create a new one based on the first.
• We can even make a full copy of a default engine installation to make a full game.
• 'Project -> Run in engine' improved. All bugs solved, faster than before, and on a full game 'project group' runs on the game itself.
• Undo, redo, cut, copy, paste, find and replace available in all editors. You can even undo complex things like changes on sprites.
• Zoom available on code editor too.
• Built-in image editor inside sprites editor.
• Import replace sprites with same group/number.
• Ability to resize one or more sprites outside image editor (you can scale all sprites with hit box adjustment/scaling in one batch).
• Default background is set based on localcoord.
• Contact Box drawing always use the same type as current ones (default or not), or non-default if there's none.
• Better support for frame interpolation, including timeline controls.
• Onion Skin on animations changed from sprite to animation/frame.
• Complete support for high DPI displays.
• Palette generation and 'Adapt image to palette' with better support for alpha channel (can produce anti-aliased 8bit sprites).
• Animated GIF generation works even with non-8bit sprites (adapts to 8bit).
• Better interface preset system (adjusts to available space and scales nicely).
• Drag and drop support on the Organizer.
• Sound file viewer on sounds editor (basic editing functionality will be added over time).
• Added fold all/unfold all for code editors.
• Improved 'Export to HTML function' (tries to detect AI commands to uncheck them).

M.U.G.E.N.

• Parser groups allowed code by file type.
• Added A1 transparency shortcut in Animations editor.
• Added full support for frame interpolation.
• Improved offset viewer and throw creator.
• Fixed PCX decoding (solves some issues on portraits in SFF v1).

Will there be chances where you can edit a stage/screen pack/ life bar or something like that?

Yes, I'm planning to make the BGs editor that will allow you to edit stages/motifs for the second release, maybe.

 

Finished the first version. Fixed all bugs I found after testing every single function. After the first round of optimizations, now, it's very, very fast and more responsive. It will try to use as many CPU cores as possible, so the faster is your PC, faster it will run.

I'll take the time until launch to make the latest adjustments and optimizations.

Thanks!

another: When you mean other 2D engines for Fighter Factory: Are there any to list for other 2d Engines?

[VirtuallTek]

Released guys!

 

If someone can move this to Releases would be awesome!

I really enjoyed with this tool, but there's one problem: testing a character via Fighter Factory Studio is bugged somehow

I'm using 64-bit version of this program, since I have Windows 10 64-bit.

Fighter Factory 3 doesn't have this problem, however.

Aw yeah!

There are flaws i found in FFS (Fighter Factory Studio)

Flaws I found:

Sometimes When i open .DEF file after opening other files on that program, It sometimes crashes.

When i attempted to find the -3 State by clicking on the list of states. it crashes or certain other states? (I am not sure :P).

Whenever i open a character and open up MUGEN to test it or screw around with it it crashes MUGEN saying it cant read some .cns file (usually the first one in the .def).

When i try opening up some FFX file it doesnt have all my MUGEN .exe things.

On top of that When i apply the settings in the options to change into classic look. It sometimes crashes

The Sound section where you test sounds and stuff is laggy.

Theres probably more flaws i found

Added a patch on the first post that solves a lot of bugs. In the end of this week I will release a new full version with all bug fixes and other adjustments, and Windows XP support for x86.
