Re: selecting new character costumes like this as in mortal kombat skins

This is very possible but would need to be coded within the source version or Mistermind himself to add it in a newer version.

I'm in fact needing something like this in my project too!

Anyone with knowledge to code this care to chime in.

Re: selecting new character costumes like this as in mortal kombat skins

I'm trying this myself currenting using code from the existing Alt costume code found here

http://www.ufe3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=776

So far I can press a button and it will show the list of costumes a character has. When you select the character with the list up it will use the first costume created.

What I'm going to need help with is trying to get the cursor to redirect to the list and set the value in the selected costume int value then it would work just like how MKX has their costume selection. Other issues I'm having is when the list is displayed if a character has less costumes than the previous character it will show the previous characters costume name in an empty slot.

I gotten this far at least anyone else wanna help out feel free to PM me.

Re: selecting new character costumes like this as in mortal kombat skins

If I were to implement a system like MKX's character select screen. I'd probably go about it by modifying a character file to be able to hold three character files. This would be probably the easiest way to work with existing functionality.

You could also create a class that extends CharacterInfo which has just an array of CharacterInfo.

Then you'd code the Character Select menu to 'scroll' through that sub array of characters.

You'd be duplicating some work I think, in regard to the list of alt costumes or "hitboxes", but your three different types of character move sets would be unique.
