Fraxy: Warning Forever + Technicolor + boss editor (NOW WITH UNCLESPORKY MOD!)

BTP

I first learned about the game here, whereas others have probably seen it here. But where you go to get the game is right here. => http://mokeron.hp.infoseek.co.jp/zg/fraxy_main.html

You'll see two download links at the top in that last link. One is for the latest version of the game, the other is for a patch in the "enemy" directory. Make the folder you get from the second link the new "enemy" folder and you'll be fine.

I got the chance to play around with it a little bit.(.............ok, hours.) This is loads of fun once you get used to the controls and camera since both aiming and the main screen are controlled by the mouse cursor simultaneously. Always be aware of your mouse cursor and you'll be fine. Once I took on a few ships in free play, I went to making my own bosses. The process is really easy, but you need to pay attention to where you attach parts. If you put everying on the core, you'll take down your boss easily. I've no idea if you can change the sizes of the parts, but again, I just started with this.

There's already quite a list of enemies to go through in the game, but if you need more, it turns out there's a wiki page for the game, but it's still under construction. But wowee-wow-WOW are the custom bosses impressive looking!
http://fraxy.pbwiki.com/The%20Bosses

So let's have some serious fun! Let's make some crazy SHMUP bosses to share and destroy and improve and repeat as desired!

Edit: Oh, and is it just me, or is there no sound to the game?

Edit 2: Now with a video to show you what it's like! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qNPnpihnEO8

Edit 3: Thanks to PenguinSeph, a way to share our creations has been found that doesn't require a wiki!. It's really easy. Perhaps a bit tedious, but easy!

For those who wish to post their creations:
1) Make sure you save it with the .fed at the end of the filename otherwise you won't be able to find it except in the editor.
2) Open Notepad, then open your created boss into Notepad.
3) You'll see a whole bunch of values. The amount depends on how much stuff you put into your creation. Copy everything and post it here in a spoiler. Spoilers are necessary otherwise you'll kill the V-scroll. Make sure you label your spoiler so anyone who clicks knows what they're getting.

For those wanting to try another's creation:
1) Copy everything you see in the spoiler.
2) Open Notepad, paste, save in the "enemy directory".
3) Open the Fraxy Boss Editor. Open the file you just saved. Since it's still a Notepad file, you'll have to select "All Files" at the bottom.
4) Resave again as an .fed file.

I'm willing to collect everyone's creations in the OP until we find a way to actually send the file to something like a wiki.

BTP's Third Blade: (The third version of my first attempted boss creation. It was originally intended to have huge blade-things coming out so that it would be both guns and blades, but it didn't turn out that way. But I still kept the name. )

*edited some sprites

Vulcan bullets and power balls are :cheese: and plasma rings are :winky:. C Power is the best enemy to try them out on.

Resave these images as bitmaps. In the Fraxy/img folder, replace common_03.bmp and common_03a.bmp with them.

tgbob

This is kinda fun, I'm definitely gonna screw around with the boss maker thingie.

Also, sound is off by default in the game, gotta turn it on in the config.

LewieP

ooh, looks fun. Busy atm, but I will definitely check this out later.

Nerdtendo

This looks pretty awesome.

So, obligatory wang boss?

Oh wow, how did I not think of that? I'm not talented enough to make something like that though. Maybe if I used one of those custom jobs as a template.....like the Bismark.....hmmmm.....

BahamutZERO

... and you attack its weak point for massive damage.

BTP

Speaking of the Bismark, if anyone's downloaded, have you figured out how it has that super large laser in the frong? From what I can tell in the editor, it's just laser upon laser upon laser but all in the same spot, which makes me think it should make the same laser width as a single laser blast. But it clearly isn't, and I don't see anywhere you can change the size of a part. Anyone know why this is?

Man, I just knew someone was going to do the crab battle thing.

BTP

Okay, I really don't know how to upload our own custom bosses. Even if I could log into the wiki I linked to in the OP, I wouldn't know how to post the file on the wiki. We may have to create our own.

Anyone willing to do it?

BTP

Thanks to PenguinSeph, a way to share our creations has been found that doesn't require a wiki!. It's really easy. Perhaps a bit tedious, but easy!

For those who wish to post their creations:
1) Make sure you save it with the .fed at the end of the filename otherwise you won't be able to find it except in the editor.
2) Open Notepad, then open your created boss into Notepad.
3) You'll see a whole bunch of values. The amount depends on how much stuff you put into your creation. Copy everything and post it here in a spoiler. Spoilers are necessary otherwise you'll kill the V-scroll. Make sure you label your spoiler so anyone who clicks knows what they're getting.

For those wanting to try another's creation:
1) Copy everything you see in the spoiler.
2) Open Notepad, paste, save in the "enemy directory".
3) Open the Fraxy Boss Editor. Open the file you just saved. Since it's still a Notepad file, you'll have to select "All Files" at the bottom.
4) Resave again as an .fed file.

I'm willing to collect everyone's creations in the OP until we find a way to actually send the file to something like a wiki.

BTP

Bottom of the OP now has our collection of created boss enemies! Start sharing!

PenguinSeph proves again how much of a crazy S.O.B he is thanks to this post in the Platforumer's Fraxy thread.

PenguinSeph wrote:

The chat thread has saved us! www.box.net is good for this.

HERE WE ARE

3 enemy types, but we have all the revisions to them as well. Tell me what you think!

We have the MadBomber type, a self desucting enemy that using exploding tanks to try and damage you. Then, we have the OverCompensation type, named like that due to it's tiny core and the large uses it uses to make itself feel better about it. Like an unattactive man in a 4x4. Then, we have the Fighter type. It has guns and shoots at you.

Not of these are very hard on there own, but increase the number of enemies in the options and it become a battle to survive! Tell me how they are dudes!

Frem

Yay, Fraxy! I love this game, though the boss editor kills the UI designer in me.

Also, the MetaFraxy pack is a must.

BTP

Anyone know the difference between Recovery, Repair, and Regeneration? I've tried all three, but I haven't seen any real difference. I'm shooting my ships down about the same.

TripKMA

I haven't used them but I thought those were items for YOUR ship when you destroy them.

BTP

Oh, come on. Someone has to have another custom ship to shoot at by now. Even if it's a work-in-progress, share.

tgbob

FINE.

It's kinda spamish, and more or less a prototype to see what the game can do.

Somewhat. Choose your core, then your first piece connected to the core. If everything you build ultimately ends up being connected to that first piece, like a chain with all its links or like a tree branch where the very tip kinda connects to the end that's growing straight from the tree, then click on the first piece connected to the core. Copy it, then right click on the core and select "paste (turn)" You should get a mirror image of the entire side, and connect that to the core. Voila!

The easiest example to see this would be my "One Big Blade" ship. Delete all the squares so all you have is the core and all the wings that are attached. Select the first wing and set the angle at 1024 (since 4096 represents a full 360 degrees). Then copy the first wing, right click on the core, and select "paste (turn) and you should have everything attached to that first wing appear on the other side.

*edited some sprites

Vulcan bullets and power balls are :cheese: and plasma rings are :winky:. C Power is the best enemy to try them out on.

Resave these images as bitmaps. In the Fraxy/img folder, replace common_03.bmp and common_03a.bmp with them.

This looks awesome
