Chibi-Robo Stage

[libertyernie]

Yesterday I built this modification of my old Chibi-Robo stage, removing walls and adding two platforms. I'd like to know what the P:M community thinks of a stage like this.
In particular, how do the asymmetrical platforms affect gameplay? Most of the first-screen stages in P:M are symmetrical, so this seemed like a good way to spice things up. But since I'm not a skilled player myself, I have almost no knowledge of the metagame.

I'm a fan of the stage idea. Though the stage itself seems a bit bland. You can't really see the chibi-house or books while fighting. I haven't gotten to play on it yet and I can't say for sure how it would be for competitive play.

 

[Slashy]

This is an awesome stage

 

[Mithost]

It's a nice stage, but a lil' bland. I'm still confused on why people hate walls in Project M. All wall infinites are gone and they work fine in matches (unless it's a box or the walls are too high)

 

[libertyernie]

The old version of the stage had the books on the top shelf, but I almost like this layout better anyway.
I suppose to make it look nicer, I could put small things on the shelf behind the players, or maybe put a photo on the wall?

 

[yogurtgun1245]

Just any additional aesthetic detailing would work. Perhaps have a Chibi-Door beneath the higher platform?

If you put a few things on the walls, that would do wonders to liven it up a bit. Try doing a photo on one side, and like, a clock on the other side.

 

[libertyernie]

I might go for that. I think it would be easier to make a good-looking clock (using a cylindrical model) than to make a good-looking Chibi-Door
Also, the game has a couple family photo textures in it that I dumped & can use.

Here are some pics of the things I added.
The clock hand moves one full rotation every 12 minutes, so when you've played for 2 minutes it should be pointing at the 2.

muuuch better

Has this been updated into the OP? Can I re-download for this edited stage?

 

[standardtoaster]

it looks like the stage is really huge at least from the video

 

[bubbaking]

He said it's the same dimensions as P:M FD. That's fairly large...

 

[standardtoaster]

could also be the plat heights making it seem larger to me

 

[libertyernie]

Has this been updated into the OP? Can I re-download for this edited stage?

Not yet. I'll make some SSPs and upload it soon.

EDIT: OK, it's up now.

 

[bubbaking]

Cool, thanks! You should probably update the pic in the OP to reflect the aesthetic changes, such as that clock.

 

[trojanpooh]

Which stages does this go over without the help of a .rel file?

 

[bubbaking]

I think it can go over anything, can't it?

 

[libertyernie]

I think it can go over anything, can't it?

I've only tried it with Final Destination. I never learned how to make stages go over a whole bunch of stuff like Mewtwo2000 does it. Maybe I should...

 

[bubbaking]

Well as long as you only use .pac files and not .rel ones, I think it should be able to go over most stages. Just rename the .pac to that of whatever stage you're replacing.

 

[bubbaking]

So, uh, I tried putting this stage into my game and it froze it. To be specific, I put it in over Flat Zone 2. Does that not work or something?

 

[libertyernie]

I use it over SSE: Jungle. But that uses a Final Destination .rel file in P:M, so that's probably why it works.
You can get rel files from my website: http://lakora.us/rel

I threw this level over Summit and am loving it, but I have to ask. Any chance we can get it with some better camera control? It seems to still be using Brawl camera.

 

[libertyernie]

Maybe if someone tells me how the camera works
Is there some sort of MiscData I should import from STGFINAL?

 

[trojanpooh]

I went ahead and found out how to do it and then did it. It's not perfect since all I did was import the Battlefield camera and this stage is a bit taller than Battlefield, but it's better than how it is currently, so I guess I'll link to it here. Enjoy, y'all.
