The colors in the images are a bit washed out due to some weird ass compression. But you get the basic idea.

[Deth-Scyanyde]

01 LP extra-02 is her fierce punch
02 LP extra-03 i think is her psy-ray thingy
03 LP extra-04 are her supers

......

to the best ov my knowledge...
01 (Extra) = Psy-Shot/Butterflies
02 (Extra) = everything else Psy- besides the above (including Psy-normals)
03 (Extra) = Psylocke's character sprite during the Psy-Thrust super


...it was cool when only when a handful ov ppl knew how to edit colors...now everyone's doing them...lol...

[Pablo_the_Mex]

I for one, am that big a fan of colored moves. Hell, I don't even think tournaments should use custom marvel. Reason being, we have been playing the game for so long and then all of a sudden we see some crazy ass Cable grenade color and did not block. It is awesome, but seems like it would just throw people off, and confuse those who did not even know you could edit such things.

I lol'd when I read this...negative gold/black 'nades FTW...

The only thing I can say to this is when it comes to actual color edits come tournament time...either stick with OG Marvel colors or go 'monochrome' with the projectiles and shit (all one color basically, different shades ov that color are acceptable). Anything else...especially multicolored stuff...that would prove distracting...jest erf them! And this is as far as high caliber tourneys like EVO go...

...but then again...there will be those GDLK color edits that you jest can't leave out...or the marvel mixes (less Trance...more Metal)...

[Pablo_the_Mex]

Evo used some custom mix for the finals, and then switched it during the finals which I thought was a good move.

My first mixes were pretty crazy, now they are much more basic.

Music wise, most of the mixes I hear in vids are random and sound like crap. I guess it is all a matter of taste. However, I stick witn instrumentals because vocals are distracting to me. I use some non-vocal trance, guilty gear tracks, or rap instrumentals. The music in the game should compliment the action, not try to overshadow it.

These are some of the colors I got so far. Let me know if something looks off. Critiquing is welcomed and appreciated by all.

Doc, how does that Iceman/Human Torch look? Did you edited all his ice, like the super, Big Giant Boulder/ Ice when he grabs you, etc..? Damn, I know he looks sweet. If we could change ICEBEAM!!! to FLAME OUT!!!, I'd actually play him (not against Cable, though)

General idea: Attack buttons will be assorted colors, but Match-up wherever possible. Example: Many characters will have the white/grey/black color scheme. That edit will always be LP. Red/Black edits will be at HK.

A1 will be any Marvel character they resemble (Psylocke as Elektra, with all her Psy attacks, supers a silverish grey color (Shurikens, etc). If they do not have a Marvel counterpart, I will try to make a edit of a costume they actually have worn. Black/yellow Colossus as Ultimate X-men costume.

A2 will be the DC counterpart (see above edits.)

/\ do you want me to put those up?

I'd be nice if all the people messaging me knew how to take fucking screen shots of their colors :confused:

Mags, I don't mind. I know they could use some tweaking, but if you see any are good enough, by all means..

I swear I did an edit just like the first one.

[TS]

I just started messing around with this stuff today, my first few attempts (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/MvC2SRSDCMBH.jpg). I notice some of them look like stuff that's already been done (Geronimo putting in mad work!), but at this point that can't be helped.

[QUOTE=doc;4773224]Does anyone actually paste these codes to see what they look like?[QUOTE]
On that note, where am I supposed to copy/paste these? I don't see a spot in PalMod.

edit: nevermind, got it. Select all -> copy ->c&p

you guys should try using this program http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html for taking screen shots (png format) like the ones on the site (http://zachd.com/magnetro/if/cc/cyclops/cyclops_bluewhite_geronimo.png). it saves me time in updating the html (http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp) code

Problem

Using a self boot copy of mvc2 (a cdi) i followed all the stops... burned it and the DC starts up and proceeds to sega screen and then restarts... wtf?

it's not the DC dying cause it plays my other backups fine.

could the cdi i got not be self boot?

Does the mvc2 in toodle's TDCfinal2 work as a base version?

Could it be a bad 1st_read.bin?

[Sendog]

The coolest thing that I did with my mix was Turn Storm into "FIRE STORM"

1- choose whatever button you want to do first. I'll do lp only wich is extra
0, 72-74. (number outside of the box not inside) color it with

yes, they were all the same color no luminance added i don't like it, but you can do it if you like it, do it to extra 73-74

2- color extras 56-58(numbers outside of the box not inside) for the color she turns during lightning special

if everything went right your storm should now be Throwing fire when you push fierce punch or whenever you do lightning storm or typhoons. The only drawback is that the hail, lightning and the typhoons are shared for all the buttons. Also to get the complete effect that she is really throwing out fire you have to color the extras that correspond to the color each character turns when they get hit by lightning (or anything that makes them turn blue). This color is blue as we all know, so we have to make them turn orange just like if they were getting hit by a yoga flame. This extra is going to be almost the same number for all of them but i'm not sure. I only did it for the top tiers and their assists
Psylocke, cable, magneto, storm,commando color extra 50-51(again number outside of box) color them with
(#10000FFD7FFC2FFA0FF80FF60FFF8FFE3FF70FF60FFF8FFE 3FFC2FFA0FF70FF60)

sentinel extra 52-55 (numbers outside) color with
(#10000FFD7FFC2FFA0FF80FF60FFF8FFE3FF70FF60FFF8FFE 3FFC2FFA0FF70FF60)

coloring the special moves for Magneto, cable, sentinel, cpt commando, is easy. Storm is the one that took me a while to know what each of the extras was for. hope i get credit for this if nobody else has done it before me, if somebody has, oh well lets move on then, next lets try to modify the sound effects and then the stages and then lets add new moves and then....................

Been monitoring the topic lately, using palmod i thought that all you did was select the palattes from your mvc2 rom/cdi or w/e you wanna call it, do you just edit the palattes in the boxes? or is there something you need to do as with binary and offsets? Iz confused =/

Gold War Machine 2.0
Of the stuff I was tinkering with yesterday afternoon, this one came out the best, I think.

Post-tag (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm13.jpg)
Smart Bombs (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm9.jpg)
crouching Roundhouse (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm11.jpg)
Repulsor Blast (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm7.jpg)
sj.Jab (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm8.jpg)
Flying Fierce startup (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm1.jpg)

Flying d+Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/wm6.jpg)

Still needs some work. I'm not sure about the black/gold color scheme overall, and I could use more red in the repulsor blast (looks weird in motion) and ditto the light on WM if I can, need to change the smart bombs' color when they explode, etc. Also I need more orange in some of the beams, and c.FP/s.FP are too pink. But otherwise decent.

-Select the right pallate files (you may want to copy/paste 2 sets into different folders- one to mod, and one in case you want the OGs around for some reason)

-Start up PalMod and load them up (you can load them all at once so you can just scroll through

-Copy/paste them back into the mvc2 folder

-Do whatever you would normally do to play Marvel; in my case I stuff I mess around with the file and burn a new copy, since I don't have any Dreamcast emulators.

Let me set the scene.

You're at Evo. It's the finals, the match is on the big projector screen in front of hundreds of people. It's time for the big match. You know they're using custom Marvel edits, and you wonder what colors are going to be used.

The place is packed, people on the edge of their seats. The match starts, and you see...

This: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/CableSP.jpg

Devastating.

Fucking devastating.

As an aside, I don't have the color code for that one since I didn't plan on using it in my own Marvel edit, but I think it goes without saying that the psychological impact of that would be overwhelming to the opponent.

The Gold War Machine 2.0 is kool with the red proj.'s (I'd try to implement another color into those at some point to make them stand out even more) but I would stray away from Gold/Black color edits cause EVERYONE AND THEIR BROTHERS are using it...

Does anyone have any great MvC2 edits they'd like to share on megaupload or a torrent? I'd like to try some great edits.

Any Sentinel/Devastator and Psylocke/Poison Ivy edits are hot shit! :D

Some of what I got so far: I took the basis of that Iceman/Human Torch, Doc and Geronimo, but I wanted to push the boundaries of the fire side.

[Geronimo]

Thanks guys.

I do want to make a note about Iceman's human form though. The muscle definition line for chest/torso are always black by default (and looks really bad). If you want it to look good, make it the same color as the rest of his costume, but darker.


Hope that helps.

PNG owns GIF but images with a large number of colors often turn to be compressed more efficiently with JPG.

[Deth-Scyanyde]

People shall always have their preferences...so it's no point to steer them otherwise...

[Preppy]

That's not true. JPEG looks like crap when used for this purpose. It's not a preference, they're just being ignorant. Once you actually realize how awful JPEG is making the image (versus the fidelity of PNG), if someone ACTUALLY prefers JPEG, I'll eat my hat.

My "hat" is a chocolate chip cookie, but the point remains that anybody using JPEG here is doing it by accident or laziness.
Don't defend bad practices. =\

Heh, well I wasn't defending anyone...I just felt like putting that up...but for the seriousness ov this quick little subject ov JPEG<PNG is that ov LAZINESS...that or ppl just aren't well-versed in the know-how ov PNG-usage (which I feel that ppl shouldn't be bashing others for their somewhat n00bishness...if that is even the case)...

[Preppy]

So don't defend bad practices. The JPEG previews look like shit. When you say "People shall always have their preferences...so it's no point to steer them otherwise", that doesn't point out to them that saving as JPEG caused their colors to bleed all over the place and the image to look like absolute crap.

Allllll you have to do is initially Save As PNG instead. Voila. This could not be easier. :confused:


I'll try to convert Eidrian's math to PalMod code when I get a chance.

[Hollow]

Preppy, what is goin on in your avatar? That puppy looks on par with the Monty Python Rabbit..

[Preppy]

He begs you to pet him.

My brother's dog pees every time he sees you. Damned dog. My other brother's dog just likes to hide between people's legs during parties, which is usually good for a stumble or two.


If anybody else hits crashes in PalMod, please let me know how you caused that crash to happen. I imagine we'll have an all new all great codebase once Suupabuu finishes this next round of updates, but if I can help solve minor nits here and there, that seems of value. :smile:

[TS]

lol, did you get that from Chris Schmidt by chance? That was my edit for the sake of mentally scarring my opponent for a psychological advantage. I also got a cyke with the same color

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v519/LivSM/gaycable.jpg
That was all mine, but you know what they say- great minds think alike. You sir, are a genius.

[Pablo_the_Mex]

So, those of you who have figured out how to edit certain normals and projectiles, are any of you willing to share such knowledge? I know Doc and company will withhold such info until after evo, but know I there are some out there that have already figured out and posted such pallets.

More specifically, I am looking for some normal attacks such as sentinel, Magnus, and Iron Man. I think I got them, but if I can save 50+ blank cds it would be nice.

Thanks.

Magneto doesn't look right nekkid, at least when I tried him. Cable probably works the best out of anybody I've seen so far (Ramboooooo). Lots of people look pretty mediocre or washed out.

Clearly somebody needs to go for the gold and make an All-Naked mix. That'll be the Jab color for everybody, and then you can have Short be the Noob Saibot "all black" team. :wink:

-early jumping Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-002.jpg)

I tried to change him into more of a bronze/copper color, but it's still a work in progress. I'd like to change the color of the Smart Bombs when they explode, but overall it's pretty good. Or, at least, relative to most of my other edits.

[TS]

Doom stuff.
The overall color scheme is pretty simple. The armor color was different, but I copy/pasted his RK armor color since it's the lightest, and then tinkered around with it a bit.

-Sphere Flame (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-024.jpg) (qcf+KK super)
-Air dash (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-020.jpg)
These both have more red around the border than the normal versions, but it's hard to tell, really. Plus, these pics aren't as clear as the ones I posted a week or two ago.

-APA (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-022.jpg)
-APA 2 (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-028.jpg)
Photon Array (AKA pink shit) flashes two/three colors, so it still needs some work.

The ground Fierces came out pretty good:
-Standing Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-026.jpg) (same sphere in the jumping Strong and early early c.FP)
-Later standing Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-027.jpg)
-Crouching Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-031.jpg)
-Later crouching Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-033.jpg)
It's kind of nice that the fierces (not counting j.FP) cause the lightning effect, so them flashing blue and matching the color of the move is a bonus.

Electric Cage (qcf+PP) I'm still messing around with, and trying to figure out which color does what. Presently it's Seizure Ball, but I'm going for a black hole effect.


Psylocke

-Jumping Fierce (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-034.jpg)
-Psyblade (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-038.jpg)

-Standing Fierce 2 (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y104/tsdcs/DC/uvs080228-046.jpg)

Psy-blast is about the same color, looks better than the Fierces, which should be brighter in the center.

Spiral & Sent

[Preppy]

I now need to switch my focus and work on populating an extra header (for full automation of supplement palettes). Me and Magnetro were discussing of a way in which you guys can help me out on this: Make a program that parses a text file that has the extra information and parse it in a c++ format.

I can do it in a header by myself but it will take a long time for me. Or, if anyone else can program in C++ and can help me build the header, that'll work too.I'm not sure what you meant by this. What kind of table are you thinking of? A full index of every palette for every character, where for example for Gief:
00 LP ( )
...
11 Extra ( )
17 Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 00 LP, LEVEL_1 ) )
18 Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 00 LP, LEVEL_2 ) )
19 Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 00 LP, LEVEL_3 ) )
29 Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 11 Extra, LEVEL_1 ) )
2A Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 11 Extra, LEVEL_2 ) )
2B Extra ( ApplyRedTint( 11 Extra, LEVEL_3 ) )
? That's just shorthand, but seems to be more or less what you're asking for.

Using bitwise operations to tweak RGB levels should be straight-forward-ish. I haven't really looked into the Saturation / Luminance math, but since the code already has math to apply that, imagine that could be borrowed for some magic new ApplySaturation( UINT16 uintARGBInput, WORD SaturationLevel ) function.

[poon]

Sorry if this has been covered, but i'm not finding anything with search and i only remember this covered briefly here. I'm having a problem with one of my colors remaining transparent. Palmod refuses to accept any changes to my HP ryu's gi highlight color. It insists on leaving the alpha at 0 regardless of patching, applying, or using different pak files (I have the ps2 version). Is there a way to just hex edit that one color from the palette file, should i be reinstalling palmod, or am I missing something really obvious? Thanks in advance!

[The Chief]

So I experimented with color edits and decided that I don't have the patience to do my own edits. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I took WAY too much time to do just one character... (*cough* Storm) ...then I remembered the problems about "extra palattes". That's when I decided to wait until a faster process is available.

...but I degress. Keep up the good work guy's!

I'll just be content with my custom soundtracks.

OK, I have this mirrored on my site now too:

- edit - In the XLS, I have a couple questions about Magnetos section anf others that fit a similar description.

looking at the line: 01LP (Extra 02) - ID:02-06: Gaurd Reflect || ID:07-08 Hypergrav, EM blah blah...

As an example, what does "ID:02-06:" point too exactly? I know the colors designated to 02-06 will effect the special moves listed, but I just want to make sure I understand that "ID:02-06:" means "EXTRA 02-06".

Question from non-SRK guy: "where to find the PS2 character files on the disc/what format they're in?"

[poon]

Question from non-SRK guy: "where to find the PS2 character files on the disc/what format they're in?"

THey're in the PS2 folder archived in AFS02.AFS . You'll need to grab DKZ Studio to extract and and then import them back in. They're the PL**PAK.BIN files. You'll also need the japanese ps2 pak files to view in palmod. I dunno why they're the only ones that load initially, but you can then put them in the american ps2 or xbox version. (seriously can someone explain that? :) )

If anyone wants to help with the palmod updates they can get http://zachd.com/mvc2/pictures/MvC2/sprites/complete_sprite_sets.rar and look through the folders and pick out the images that are listed in Eidrian's document, then send them over to me or suupabuu to organize them and stuff. Since there are a ton of images for everyone it'd be much easier to get help from more than 2 people, hopefully you'll be able to see the extras that you're editing soon + if there are any programmers that are willing to help with features and stuff, let him know.

[eidrian]

My work is done.

And those are way too many images to scan, the variants are just one image and are easy to identify, unless you want to add animated preview to the utility.... Which seems not like a bad idea at all.

[SuupaBuu]

I talked to magnetro last night, and I suggested him to rerip the extra images manually. Sorry if I didn't get to you guys earlier, but if you guys are doing it now, STOP! It will be too time consuming for each side to manually manipulate each index and creating an extension of palmod to do so.

The plan that I have now is set each extra with a dummy palette, grab the image and crop the extra (on training stage prefferably), and the programs that I have made will handle the processing of clearing out anything but what's on the palette. I've done it with the character images and it was a lot easier for me to handle other than the way that I have to handle the images in the rar.

And good work guys.

Ok...I heard something about hidden characters..(preppy Has one on avatar).
& that Edrians is the one to credit for this.I dont know if theres any plans to share the info,(i would think You guys are making Videos with them or sumthing like that)but yea... a while back i found this Faq on how to hex edit mvc2 save game files and it had some stuff i think that might help.probably wont but its the only other thing that ive heard of hidden characters.

:From Faq:

=One Last Very Interesting Note=
=------------------------------=
I went through and played Training Mode several times, selecting each charcter
once. The results? As expected, the low bytes from 08A0 to 0917 all increased
by one. Except for four of them. Does this mean that there are still four
hidden characters left in the game somewhere?


Heres the link to the whole thing---> http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/dreamcast/file/914427/7271

nothing as of yet.....i mean if there are other characters...most likely there colors can be changed too..just posted here because i know the only people that know anything about this frequent this forum.And figured it might help or add to what they already know about these "Secret" characters and the "SECRET WARS"

[Preppy]

They probably aren't accessible in any meaningful way. Unlike Norimaro or Anita. There's not enough data there to be a full character.

[Magnetro]

because we are all not geniuses i'm gonna post what b pyrolee told me right now on AIM cause i had no idea what it was.

(#10000FEDCFFEDFDEFFCDEFBCDFABCF9ABF89AF789F678F56 7F456F345F234F123)

/\ apparently that's the code to make every extra for someone. For example: Say you make psylocke's 01 extra (butterflies?): (#10000FEDCFFEDFDEFFCDEFBCDFABCF9ABF89AF789F678F56 7F456F345F234F123) instead of (#10000F111FFFFFFDDFFACFF8BFF6AFF49FF28FF06FE06FD0 6FC05FA04F904F803) , when you go into the game and do the move (to screen cap it), you'll be helping b pyro a lot. SO: use that code on all the palette extras then screen cap it (png please) --> crop it so that there are no other artifacts using that palette and send it to bpyro or me. THe idea is: black pyro's program will not use anything that's not that code so it'll map everything out and save him countless hours of mapping extras to images. : )

[killamach]

They probably aren't accessible in any meaningful way. Unlike Norimaro or Anita. There's not enough data there to be a full character.

I just thought it would be helpful in some way.
Are the characters that edrian found able to be unlocked by playing the game or does it require messing around with files from the game

[Preppy]

They're absolutely useless and cannot be accessed in any way currently. They're simply additional sprites in Servbot's files that don't appear to be used or accessible in any fashion whatsoever. So: pretty cool, but pretty useless. :smile:

Great stuff about this new palmod guide with all o fthe extra colors needed!

Just one question: What does that ID mean in some of the characters data in their colors? In the guide, of course.

Highlight one ov the boxes in the palette box on the right hand side...each individual box represents a ID, starting from ID:00 and ending with ID:15 as far as usable palette parts are concerned...it says it under that same box if you look closely.

[Mixah]

i just figured out that copy / paste is available, and that you can select multiple boxes. WOOOOOOOOOO!

[Mr.Q®]

Thanks! Now, all of the codes posted here are just edits for the characters main colors or do they also aply for their extra colors? let's say fireballs, little sentinels, etc?

Main character sprite edits...none are for extras unless otherwise noted.

[Hollow]

Another concept I was brainstorming: If you develop/have a great color for a character, copy it as a 4 box and a 5 box code. Most of the characters main color (hulk's skin, for example) are 5 boxes. His pants are 4. So, you would highlight the skin boxes, then paste this code:
(#&FC70FA70F850F640F530) Five Point, Golden Brown

Then, highlight the pants (4 boxes), and paste:
(#%FFB2FEA2FB82F850) Four Point, Gold

Viola! Brown Hulk with gold pants!

So, we can focus on the main color (5 boxes) and the secondary color (4 boxes).
I tend to focus on the color as opposed to the character, especially when I am developing matching teams.

[Magnetro]

First thing: i dont really care what color scheme you're doing, just as long as it looks like you put some work into it.

1st way:write the html code.
2nd way: take a screenshot like the one i have on my site (where you dont see the OS, just the bg and the sprite).
3rd way: just post the color code and i'll get to them eventually. i'm stockpiling the colors and will update the site when black pyro gives me a new version with some features I asked for. if you have extras you want me to post up I'll get to them when i get the new palmod from black pyro sometime.

finally if you have a copy of something that's on my site already: 1) it has to be way better for me to take the other one down. 2). I'm not gonna use it.

I know. It just that some character are so hard to edit. Specialy storm. You know how stupid n hard is editing that bitch. I read everything release by Eidrian but i still dont really undestand it. Isn't there an easier way to fix storm. Im so tired so seeing her change colors. Atleast how to make stop changing colors (And no i do not want to use the original colors :rofl:).

[Onslaught2000]

Storm's patches are quite easy actually. You just do 3 straightforward copies to particular button color you want to do and then just increase the luminace (or not if you just wanna be lazy). Process takes 10 seconds.

Also, in the AFS002.afs file, has anyone tried editing those audio files (as opposed to the ones in afs000)? just wondering what they affect differently...

[Preppy]

Random thoughts after seeing hits and misses at Final Round:
* We need a program / tool to check audio levels. My own mix fails because the audio is too loud and drowns out the sound effects at times. This is a fairly common problem. The first mix on the left I could not even tell what the hell was going on half the time because I could not hear the effects at all. I got punished for being more attentive to the audio cues that just weren't there. =\
* Don't bring broken/buggy mixes to tournaments. Flashing Storm and buggy Sent drones are bad. Cyclop's kick being broken is kind of OK. Cyclops changing color all the time is bad.
* Custom special moves are OK if they blend. But the really big changes take away from the game if you're not used to playing on them.

I would strongly suggest that custom special colors be banned from tournaments.

I'm thinking it would be a good idea to have a "verify extras" check built into PalMod to make sure people don't have buggy Storms, Cyclops, etc. Buggy extras just make all of your hard work look bad. :sad:

yeah, when I made music mixes the tut. recommended increasing the volume, which was too loud. then when I just left the music as is for a second mix, it sounded allright, or mostly allright...

Well, if they can rip the voices and FX from the game you could play the sounds back at the volume they come out from the game and play the music you made in .bin file at the same time in some other audio player.

[Preppy]

It probably would be ideal to get/verify the levels on the actual default game music files and then tailor any custom music to those levels. That would be the simplest solution. :smile:

Of course you could just go to the options in the game and turn down the music volume a couple points but leave the FX alone, if you made the music too loud... duh:looney:

:rofl: What i dont understand is why would you keep increasing the volume on a song so much. What i did, i took one of the songs that sound excellent in the game and then i compared them with the other to see if they were as loud. Worked for me. Pallets anyone? LMAO.

The main issue is once a song is converted from a wav / mp3 to adx format which some Dreamcast / PS2 / and Gamecube games use for audio (Which Marvel VS Capcom uses) the volume is nerfed.

Say for example you take an MP3 of a song which has 100% volume, once decoded and re-encoded to ADX the volume for the file while you didn't change the encoding process itself reduces it by like 10 to 15% thus it's not nearly as loud as it used to be.

I did the same thing when I striped all of the music out of the Xbox version of Marvel VS Capcom 2 which they also use the exact same ADX files as well as naming as the Dreamcast version. And use adxencd.exe with my new / changed music to replace the entire soundtrack.

Most of the work involved required me to open up Audacity or another Wav editor program and increase the volume by like 20% before encoding the file to ADX because there is a loss of volume due to result. Same thing when I used ADX files for never ending looping tracks for Mugen, The same thing.

Even with attempts at normalization, everything wasn't exactly at the same levels, so the proffered solutions still wouldn't reach the "all songs perfectly leveled to existing game sound levels" solution really needed to have things rocking fully.
I have yet to hear a perfectly leveled Marvel mix. My kudos to those of you who have produced one. It would seem interesting to have something that could reliably take any given song and perfectly normalize it for Marvel.

EDIT: As regards "increasing the volume so much", you're ignoring the lack of precision available currently. "Increase volume by 15%" or so just doesn't give you precise/great results - the levels are uneven and certain stages play differently as a result. =\

I have this song from Donkey Kong 2 that i want to use in my mix. Even if i increase the volume on this one by 7 or 10 is sounds low. and when i put the volume up when playing on dreamcast it sounds terrible. Is it because its from an old system? I even found the OST online. Still nasty. Is there something i can use that will increase the volume but wont make it sound bad. Pallets anyone?

Is that music by anychance stickerbush symphony or the ghost forest level (forest interlude)?

Goldwave has a normalizing function. Unfortunately it isn't freeware.

Random thoughts after seeing hits and misses at Final Round:
* We need a program / tool to check audio levels. My own mix fails because the audio is too loud and drowns out the sound effects at times. This is a fairly common problem. The first mix on the left I could not even tell what the hell was going on half the time because I could not hear the effects at all. I got punished for being more attentive to the audio cues that just weren't there. =\
* Don't bring broken/buggy mixes to tournaments. Flashing Storm and buggy Sent drones are bad. Cyclop's kick being broken is kind of OK. Cyclops changing color all the time is bad.
* Custom special moves are OK if they blend. But the really big changes take away from the game if you're not used to playing on them.

i noticed some of my colors were just too much, blinding reds and blues.. yuck.

no your shit owned simply because you had michael jackson just beat it on there.. shit was killer!! lmao..

my sound was awful.. guess i shoulda play tested it.. although mine was played at the tournament, it was played during casuals. zach did you get a copy? i'll hit you guys up on aim after i fix all the glitches and normalize the colors.. and also redo the music with sony vegas.. fuck audacity, i'm gonna mess with a real deal audio program.. dunno which one.. any sugguestions on what is top dollar?

[TS]

The best possible intro song to MvC2 is Whoomp There it Is by Tag Team.

I am completely fucking serious.

Please try this.

Yeah preppy, no matter how much i raise the volume by on the Clocktower stage music file it always stays at a very low volume level :sad: any idea on why this happens?

[Pablo_the_Mex]

I have actually used normalized mp3s, but the results are not that much better. This whole deal where people turn their tracks up 25% is retarded, and that is why there are so many mixes out there that come across terribly when filmed. I have gotten some of my tracks pretty close after a bunch of trial and error.

[Deth-Scyanyde]

Well until a solution is set as to finalizing music tracks in marvel a temporary solution (albeit it'll cost you at least 2 CD-R's at minimum...depending on how precise the creator is) is to put the tracks/custom colors and burn a copy. Playtest EVERY changed aspect in your version (noting any glitched palettes and low volume tracks...yes, even the bass on certain tracks) and then fix all that on the
