Unofficial Project M Ridley - CLASSIC RIDLEY BETA RELEASED! 31/10/16

[FalconRPG]

I still have no idea what causes it. It's not happening consistently and there shouldn't be anything wrong with the coding.




Unrelated to stuff above, which textures should be used for default color of classic Ridley?

Both are from Brawl (one from boss' files and one from the trophy), so, they both should fit among other characters.

I dunno, same colors from the last model?

What last model? One from 2014?

 

[FalconRPG]

What last model? One from 2014?

The recolors from the currently released model.

 

[Cynapse]

Trophy. Assuming it's the bottom one.

I like the first one better

 

[BaganSmashBros]

The recolors from the currently released model.

Oh. That's gonna take a while to do.

Trophy. Assuming it's the bottom one.

It is.

 

[GerbilCrab475]

The top one is more purple and thus more Ridley.

bottom's more purple and still hold the brawl feel.

I'd say the top one, colors look a lot more natural imo.

The top one is the best. Also, great work as usual, Bagan.

Definitely the second, the more blueish purple fits him and the lighter wings give a nice contrast to the rest of him

 

[BaganSmashBros]

......There's a difference?

Top image has purple scales and orange wings. Bottom image has blue-ish scales and yellow wings.

Thanks.



Looks like it's gonna be hard to decide, huh?

No problem, keep up the great work.

And I still think that the top one is better. I mean, he doesn't look bad with the blue-ish coloration, but purple does fit him more, specially to his classic look.

 

[Wolley2xjd]

I would just say use both.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

I would just say use both.

...How? They are too similar to be used at once.

I think the first one might look better within the default P:M style; the second feels almost like it's trying to fit in with the WiiU model imports, which would be fine if it was an alt and not the base color.

 

[Wolley2xjd]

...How? They are too similar to be used at once.

I mean use one but have the other has an alt.

 

[Ridley1994]

The first one because the darker coloration looks more threatening to me. Classic Ridley looks magnificent. I look forward to His Completion.

 

[Cynapse]

Compromise? Use the purple skin from the top and more contrasted wings like the bottom?

 

[GerbilCrab475]

Compromise? Use the purple skin from the top and more contrasted wings like the bottom?

Either way, we can have both through the amazing use of alt colors!

 

[Wolley2xjd]

So how is everyone here doing?

I know it's a little off topic but I haven't been here in so long and would like how everyone been.

 

[IROX568]

They're too similar to both be used as different color swaps. Perhaps one can be an additional download.

I'm gud.

What are the possibilities of this mod being moved over to Smash 4 as well, since Smash 4 modding has very recently been far more established?

High, but it probably won't be me who will do it. I don't have the game.

Nanobuds just recently did a Ridley-themed vertex/texture hack of Charizard not so recently

Not really the same thing or anything even similar. Looks awful, but not much could be done when Ridley and Charizard are so different.

Hey Bagan! A while ago SDoom made a few Ridley animations, would you happen to know what happened to those?

 

[BaganSmashBros]

I have no idea. I never got any of them.

Speaking of that, should i still have him listed in credits? He technically didn't do anything more than just giving me something to base those animations on. FAir, UAir, DAir, etc. were made from scratch based on webms he posted.

It's still his work in a way (intellectual property would be the correct term). He deserve a place in the credit imo, even if he never gave you those animations, he helped the mod get more popular.

True. Those still are his ideas. Still wish i actually got something after all that time.


Some recolors made few months ago:

Certainly an improvement over what i had for this mod few years ago. I used someone's (i don't remember who it was, but it should be easy to find) texture mod for the boss from Brawl Vault as a base for recolors, so, it's not 100% my work. There is only one recolor that has nothing to do with Ridley in Metroid (white+pink color), but i didn't have anything in mind that could be done at that time. I thought of making Meta Ridley recolor like with modern Ridley, but Brawl Ridley's wing membranes are not separated like Other M Ridley's.
Other than that, i found a way to record videos with no lag. Y'know, 640x480 (it takes too much space to have it be bigger) and 60fps. This means that even 4 players on Pyrosphere mod should still be fine. Unfortunately, audio is not recorded this way. I'm trying to fix that problem and i think i know how to fix it (record the match 2nd time with all models reduced to bones and lowest resolution possible).

 

[HypnotizeOverdrive]

That Ridley is so beautiful. Looking at it brings me joy.

I have been blessed.

He looks really good, I def wanna see him in action (hopefully soon).

Oh, you will see him soon. Very soon. How soon depends on how big video will end up and how many times i will mess up.


Also, i'd recommend watching this video for now to see how far this mod went:

Thank god Brawl's limitations forced me to cancel that version...

 

[BaganSmashBros]

So, all 13 matches have been recorded and they run at 60fps. However, they lack any sounds and i have no way to record it without audio desynching terribly. Even when all models and textures are disabled, it still happens. Another problem is that i can't get the proper trailer...um...rendered...whatever without it being over 1GB because of its high quality, but i don't want to reduce it because things happen too quickly in the video and it won't look good with something like 30fps. I'll certainly need someone else to record it. There is one other solution to this and it's just recording a normal match on a simple stage, but that's boring and i mess up too much.

Maybe you can post them in gifs for the time being until all the technical stuff is cleared up

That would be even worse (low quality and no sounds).

 

[Dranakar]

I know soopercool101 does some really nice recordings Maybe you could ask him nicely?

 

[soopercool101]

Yeah if you need anything recorded I could definitely be of assistance.

 

[BaganSmashBros]

That would be great! Do you use Dolphin or Wii? I still have the replays, but i'm not sure if they will be showing correctly on Wii or different versions of Dolphin (at least one replay desyncs in 3.0-XXX).

I use Dolphin for recording, they should show up fine on the Netplay build at the very least if you have the entire build you were using. PM me if you want to discuss more.
