Personal Clone Engines For The Future? Plus How Can We Accomplish The Same Results?

[smashman!]

So lets say P.M is completed and you have a mind to add another big icon to the roster, how can you achieve the same level of P.M-like results? This could be speed, animations, manipulations to the code, whatever it may be, is it possible we are provided with a tutorial in the distant future? Sound off below people.

Well to start, you gotta know how to animate, psa, code asm, photoshop, and import sound. Thennnn, you wanna have time because you'll invest 1000+ hours (no, I'm not joking; especially when it will come to people who are amateurs at animating). Tutorials will be hard to come by. You may find basic tutorials, but you're bound to run into issues where a tutorial cannot help you.

Hey I wouldn't doubt you for a second there bro... ^ ^"

Sounds like a messy chore!! lol

Basically, in this community, assembly coders are a rare commodity, and even with a guide, I don,t think a lot of individuals could easily figure it out. Nevertheless, once the game's released, we won't stop anyone from trying, but be wary of the potential save data corruption that can occur when mishandling the engine.

 

[GP&B]

To put it simply, it's not something that can be made portable/accessible due to the nature of how the additional characters are made. Because everything is built on a case-by-case basis, there's really no way to write a program that would take most of the heavily low-level coding work out of the mix. I'm not a part of the PMBR, but with the way it's been described I don't see it likely compared to say releasing their ASM setup for stage striking and whatnot.

No doubt, this stuff's definitely not meant for the average joe out there lol

Agreed, that seems logical enough. =\

Do you also need a crash course for say... rocket science? molecular chemistry? theoretical mathematics?
Computer science is no joke and asking for help in forums will do you no good.
These people put a lot of effort, not only in developing the game, but learning how to.
There are no shortcuts for beginners.
Work the books, go to class, follow the courses.

Understood Sir.

Lol not need to assault the poor guy, he asked a legitimate question and he got his answer .

Still, as I said, we're not going to tell the community not to use it, just be wary of potential consequences of messing with it is all .

I totally disagree - the only way to know which steps to take first is to ask.

@smashman!, don't be discouraged. You've got a lot of time before you'll actually have 3.0, so now's the perfect time to begin to learn. It'll be a tremendous amount of hard work - do you know any computer science? If not, that's a great place to start. It might be good to find some tutorials online for C++ or something (if you download microsoft visual studios, it takes care of a lot of the mess of getting a compiler/IDE/all that stuff).

You should go for it! The worst case scenario is you're never able to make a smash character, but you've still learned a lot about programming, animation, etc. Those are really useful skills with a lot of applications, and if you ever decided to go to school and refine that skillset into something you could convert into a job, you'd already have a great grasp of those concepts.

Interesting to know that assembly programming is useful to the PMBR. I should totally learn that, too - there's a bunch of books on it on the online library I'm part of.

I did a tic tac toe in assembly.
Took me two ****ing weeks.

You have no idea how much I respect the PMBR magicians lol

Yeah, whenever people in my CS program bring it up, it's always with a mix of admiration and fear, haha. This is making me wanna learn it even more. : >

it's important to note that brawl/project m uses PPC ASM and not x64 ASM.

Your kindness is much appreciated my dude, I seem to have trouble getting another question/request answered, would you do me the honor?

Sorry for not being really encouraging.
But when people tell me they want to learn how to program like me this is what happens:
