Hai!
As the title says, I'm a newcomer at the board. I've recently downloaded Fraxy again due to a youtube video session (and also because I read about a new version), and I decided to join the community. Also, I guess I'll also ask any questions I have that can't fix on my own, as well as posting bosses or w/e. And I guess that's all! ;D |

Thanks for the welcome!
I just joined the wiki, although I'm not very familiar with how those work. Guess I have something more to learn! (Also, the link you provided isn't working nutman D= Don't worry though, I already noticed the thread you are refering to, and even read it before joining ;D) |

Looks like I'll need some event help to finish my first boss. I've set up a special event that makes the boss rotate when conditions are met, however I cannot make it stop rotating for some reason. Here are the parts and events linked:
Main core
Rotate Panel S (aka Sweep Unit)

Why? In the editor it does work - tried putting it at rank 1 and it didn't Rotate. In fact, the Event activation works, it's just the stopping that doesn't.
It seems that I located the problem (somewhat). After fixing one obvious mistake in the Event set up (the Stop Sweep Event would get deleted at the start of the fight, due to one condition being Variable 1 = 0, which is 0 by default), it seems that the Move Action won't stop if it's one of those "Rotate forever", Move Act 8 for instance - the one I would like to use, since it's the fastest one. Guess I will have to use the default Act 1, since it's the one that works, even though it won't catch the player off-guard. Thanks! |

Whew, that was a nice fight (against R-03)! I would like to fight it, but it would be too frustrating for me to do so since I seem to run into 50% of the attacks any boss uses D=
Oh, and I was expecting you to get crushed at least once when the Reactor closes the shell ;D |

Posted by Perfect InfinityPosted by nutman217 Ya, for some reason the links get an added ":81" in between, preventing them frm working. Anyways, what nutman217 means is that there's a sticky thread to ask questions. |

It looks like the Fraxy Editor hates me or something... I need help setting up the events for my second boss. When I try to activate a part and its childs after a Core has been blown up, said part activates but it's child parts get destroyed, even when Durability is set to -1 and there's no Event set up to destroy them. They also get destroyed even if there's no Event linked to them in any way (not even by parents), except the Weapon Parameters Event. I may upload the boss if it's needed, because I guess it's a bit hard to diagnose the problem without seeing it. |

I would like an option to make shots fired from a weapon "mirages" via a flag in the Editor (Bullets: "Normal" or "Mirage"). Mirage shots would be slightly blurry to diferentiate them from normal shots. Mirage shots would be affected by Extra Parameters but wouldn't hurt the player. This would allow to set seemingly unavoidable attack patterns, but would be avoidable if the player is paying attention to the bullets. |

Posted by Burg Hammer AchtzehnKewl!Posted by Bukkarooo However, I tested this, but the Move part doesn't seem to go back to the original position, not even changing hte Move Action with events, etc. Am I doing anything wrong, or doesn't it work correcty? |

I think I've got it now, thanks. I did try changing some numbers on Parameter 3, but it seems I didn't go far enough. It seems it has something to do with the value set to Parameter 1.
I'll leave this for the record, just in case someone is as dumb as me to not get it through (this is what I've managed to find out, there may be other things I didn't get):
Basically, what I had wrong was Parameter 1, since I assumed it was only a toggle. Then I thought of how the Missiles have that "math" value to define the behaviour, and it looks like it works now. Note that setting Parameter 1 to 1 will only move the part once forward until the Movement Range, then it'll stay there forever no matter the default Move Action you set it to. Also, I did test your other idea and it workes fine the first time it played, but then it moved between points instantly. Maybe I did set something wrong, but now that I've discovered how to fully use Move Joints I guess it won't be necessary. Thanks for the help though! =D |

Even if it looks like a pokéball it's still way better than anything I will ever do =o And it wasn't specially easy for me to defeat, though I basically suck at bullet hell games =D
Virgo 400k was awesome. I don't recall fighting many bosses that I had to pursue to take down, and Spoiler: Pretty awesome, although the regenerating barriers were a pain, probably because it's hard to stay alive while pelting them while you've got no clue if that's what you are supposed to be doing =DI don't think I've ever fought one that also turned into a mech! |

Posted by XterminionI guess I failed the Community then D= I overwrote accidentaly my TotM Boss file while testing some stuff, and I won't have enough time to make anything decent before the deadline =/ I just hope I pick up the next TotM earlier, don't change the concept when I already started and finally screw it by completely destroying the definitve concept... |

Posted by XterminionAFAIK,
Note that, at the moment, the turning speed prioritizes over the movement actions. Setting a turning speed of 10 with Movement Act as 1 will make the part spin clockwise normally with reduced speed, but when reaching Act 2 (when it should go counter clockwise) it will continue going clockwise. to make things spin back and forth you'll have to mess around with extra parameter 2 with Events, setting it to negative values when you want it to spin counter clockwise. However, what you want to do isn't possible with the usage of Panel - Aim Initial Angle? This way you won't have to worry about calculating the speeds, etc. to make the Rolling Panel go to the original position. Although seeing how long has it been, maybe you already fixed the problem by yourself D=! |

I was waiting to finish the second boss to make this, because I felt that it would feel empty with only one boss (and not that good either D=). As everyone does, I'll post here screenies and links to my bosses if anyone wants to try them. Don't expect uber hardness though, I'm not good at shmups and I like to actually be able to beat them with not excessive deaths!
Also, note that I'll probably make them element-themed. Checking the name you'll be able to tell what to expect (and change the bullet color if you feel like making it more fitting!) Edit 13/5/2009: I've decided to make videos of fights with them. They'll have a bit of story, but are there mainly for fun and tips on how to avoid certain attacks. Have fun! Ignis Vulpes version 1.0 Youtube Video Change bullet color to orange-red to make it look better. This is my first serious boss, so it's nothing spectacular. It relies on spamming all his weaponry to try to destroy the Fraxian. Be warned, though: the more you damage it, the bigger its arsenal will be! Includes two one-time-only Specials plus another Special for players playing at rank 100. Aqua Lupus Youtube video Change bullet color to deep blue to make it look better. Things slowly improve I guess, since I feel this one is more appealing visually and more fun to fight against. Aqua Lupus will use up to seven different attack patterns, varying them while you damage it. It's a stationary boss so hitting it should be easy, but be warned that it may block your shots in unsuspecting ways. It won't use any Specials though. Note: Aqua Lupus is equipped with the Sniper Coil MkI Weapon. It would be wise to move as fast as you can if it tries to lock on you. |

Looks kewl! I really liked the power-ball-shoting-chopper-blades at the start. Also, I don't know why but seeing all those slow rays waveing made me jiggle =o
However, you didn't made the link work properly! Now it shows some vamp face in between ;D! |

Now you can watch videos of a fight against the bosses, with their aproppiate bullet colors! |

I would like a smoke effector/weapon. Does no damage, spits clouds/stream of smoke, with the purpose of being able to add realism to stuff and/or have an option to block the Player's view without restricting his movement. I guess it could work like a Burner. |

Having a EMP blast weapon would be nice, instead of having to rely on Tanks though. Even if it's just the energy regeneration/booster blocking and no damage, would allow to make interesting stuff. |
