: The MB:AA:CC:PC thread: v.1.4 out
: abitofBaileys August 11, 2011, 03:36:53 PM
v1.4: http://meltyblood.info/?p=735

Keep the complaining about it to a minimum, thanks.

You can speculate all you want, but this has no bearing on the game coming out or not coming out on other platforms. The arcade version runs off of Windows XP Embedded -- it's about as easy of a port as you can get (*still not trivial).

I still think a PS3/PSP/Vita release is coming

As seen on TVtypemoon.com (http://www.typemoon.com/products/cp/outline.html):
②ゲームソフト「MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code ver1.07」(PC版)
新規追加キャラクターの"真祖アルクェイド""完全武装シエル"まで実装された完全版をフルパッケージで同 梱!
※ネットワーク対戦には対応しておりません。

For those of you wondering if mauve would do an implementation of Caster for the PC version of MBCC:

[02:37] <@mauve> i want to say this to head off any caster comments. i actually want to work on the netplay for mbaacc if it hits pc. maybe enough to do a rollification.
[02:37] <Tempered> THAT IS NOT MAUVE
[02:37] <Dipstick> mauve, you're going to be held to that
[02:37] <T3U> Don't say things like that.
[02:37] <@mauve> yes well provided my life implodes horribly, which i am not ruling out, that may be on the plate

i meant to say 'doesn't implode', but i suppose that works too, huh?

So there you go.

fyuckkk my computer can barely run sim ant let alone a game released in the past ten years, guess it's time to sell off my doujin collection and save up for a new computer

OR

this is the prelude to an actual console release that is not packaged with some shitty anime, allowing me to keep my collection of pornographic comic books

anyway I'm guessing (hoping?) its the latter

the PC version will sell fine because they are obviously not trying to sell the PC version at this time, they are currently trying to sell their overpriced anime by putting a game everyone wants to play on it

which probably means a console/real release after pressure to sell the anime is gone

So there is no hint of a console release, and they are now announcing the release of a PC port. However, this PC port has been announced in a very unsung manner as being an add-on to an anime DVD.

It is not really that odd for a game to come packaged with an anime DVD, but for the anime to actually be the one with top billing is kind of... Interesting.

With the game only available on PC, the implications for event organization goes without saying. Also, the bundle is what, $116?

All this in mind, I only have ONE QUESTION to ask:

... When can I reserve my copy?  :-[

In my case I'll have to spend over 1300 MXN to get the PC release. + whatever they ask for shipping, though I hope that includes shipping costs. 8400 yens is too much, but I think they're counting both. <.<

But comparing to playing in console, most console arcade sticks or joysticks have compatibility with PC anyway, dont they? Those types are the ones I see the most, althougt here ppl seem to use custom more than brand (don't know if brand sticks work differently)

Also, no idea if they have input delay in PC either... that would really be a problem.

In console you only have to load back to character select and into the match. Way less time than was required in MBAC. But I'm not sure if the button config will be the same in this release as MBAC. They might make it in game this time.

I think it doesn't matter much. I think a console release is coming after this. This release just looks like Type-Moon wants to sell more anime to me.

I think it doesn't matter much. I think a console release is coming after this. This release just looks like Type-Moon wants to sell more anime to me.

^
I think everyone should wait & we should speak up in anyway possible to convince them for a console release if they seriously haven't thought about it at this point but it's either two things at this point, they're going to seriously hit the ball out of the park or die tryin'.................................... Only time will tell but something tells me they have "plans" that include other audiences.

While it's great news for me,I really hope consoles get some love.
From what I understood it's really hard to grow the scene with a non-PS3/360 release,so hopefully down the line you guys can get a nice port you can properly support and expand.
Remember Type-Moon is still the bigboss,while the game has come very far in terms of competitive prospects,you cannot deny its origin as a marketing tool.Also they cant just release MB next gen without proper netplay(unlike PC)so it's going to take a while just from that side of things.

I'm hype for home port, but I'm also going to be realistic. Running tournaments for this game WILL be a pain in the ass with as far as worrying about random screen savers, control figuration, and random setups lagging (which shouldn't be a problem as long as the port isn't too demanding to run). This also includes converters, but that shouldn't as big of a problem as it was back in 2007 since converters are more widespread on top of players using PS3 sticks that are directly plug and play into the PC. This also means that we'll never see MB at EVO again, but with the direction EVO's been going that was going to be the case even if MBAACC was on PS3.

I don't particularly mind we're basically running back 2007 all over again TBH. I'll gladly take that over where we at now...not playing the damn game due to us being 2 versions behind and using games like AH3, BB, AE, MvC3, and MK as hold over games while we wait with our thumbs in our asses waiting for a up-to-date port of MB we can actually play. People who *really* want to play MBAACC that badly will get their hands on it one way or another and despite all the bitching about it being on PC I can assure you that tournaments will be ran for this game at locals and majors. Well, that is, until the next version of MB after that comes out that we won't be able to play...then the cycle that has been repeating itself for 4 years will STILL continue.

And IMHO even it was confirmed for a PS3 / 360 release we'd be in the same boat AH3 was in when the JP version first dropped unless it was confirmed they're also doing a western port. More than half our potential player base won't be able to play because the 360 version will be region locked. Some people not willing to spend $90 on a niche import. A bunch of people spitting out "well I'd love to play MBAACC 1.07 on next gen buuuuuuuuut....I don't own a JP or modded 360". That's not far off from constantly hearing "oh well I don't own a JP or modded PS2". At the very least with it being on PC, even if you're not up to buying the anime (game) itself you can obtain the game by other "questionable" means. Outside of it being more of a hassle to run tournaments on...I can't see any reason not to be somewhat hype. At least now we actually have a fucking port we can discuss as opposed to theory fighting YT videos and pretending we can play this game some point in our lives.

tl;dr - be happy with what you got because we could STILL be discussing how we WISH we could be playing MBAACC in our lifetime.

we get it, already. are we just going to have arguments about this for months? AGAIN? because i've been hearing this shit since 2008.

by this point everyone knows that the guys who want an offline scene don't want PC, and the guys who just want to play are like "oh cool PC", and the two will be arguing from now until the end of time because apparently people can't just accept whatever happens to be available to them.

look. while i am a hacker and fully understand wanting to do things on the platform of your choice regardless of the original developer's intention... but sometimes it doesn't fucking matter what you do or do not want. it's up to french bread and ecole. you want to be disappointed about it, fine, but there's no need to sit around and post a dozen times about how "oh goddammit it didn't go our way." go do something about it if you want that.

While I do agree that we're bringing back old headaches and new ones, isn't the MB community known for working around said problems?

Streaming matches - IMHO, worst case scenario is we'll be going back to saving all of our replays and putting them back on youtube. Mind me for being a huge streaming scrub, but what would make it harder to stream PC footage as opposed streaming from a console?

MBAACC running on older laptops / PCs - Until we find out whether or not this game will require the same specs as Ougon or KOF XIII we just have to wait and see on this one.

I won't lie. As much as I'd love for a *Western* port for MBAACC, we're stuck with the PC version for now so we'll have to make due with it.

In fighting games, NO! Because if you just stream in-game matches in the PC used for that match, it'll affect the gameplay, lowering framerate and lag inputs. Worse is for stream with editing (change the in-game view to player cam, etc.).

you younguns don't remember the day of spending 30 hours mucking with DOS IPX drivers so you could play Descent on Kali over dialup

good fucking times, man

Good fucking times.


Also, basically what Brandino said is true.  Also, if you have any concerns, when the power went out at Mikado - they booted up v1.05 in Windows XP.  So I think your good on PC requirements.  Furthermore, computers are more powerful now but Melty is mostly the same (as far as technological requirements).  It should be even easier to run the game off PC's with streams, especially since we mostly know what we're doing when we get ourselves in for a tourney.  USB Polling rates, screensavers over, sleep mode off, whatever.  Easy.  I will personally pack up and bring my computer to events to play.  It's about the same amount of effort it takes to lug a TV and set up a stream from the TV as it does to set a bunch of options and carry my PC to tournaments. 

Why don't you guys think of this from a company position too?  MBAA has been hacked (but thankfully, not leaked, and if it has it's not widespread).  So, the company has to face a potential failure in that department.  It's hosted by two companies (Ecole and TypeMoon) and they don't have the resources for a PS3 release.  People want netplay, though, it's the only way a fighter survives these days (in terms of money, not the competitive scene).  How to kill like 15 birds with one stone?  PC release.  It's cheap, easier, and bundling it with Carnival Phantasm is a fucking GLORIOUS idea.  That way they can expose more people to it (from whoever buys Carnival Phantasm will also buy Melty, and then try it) and if the arcade gets leaked people still have a reason to own it, if they buy Carnival Phantasm they will have it.  This avoids potential failure, exposes more people, and leaves future development options open.

Honestly, arcades get all priority in Japan as far as the scene is concerned, and yet you got a way to get an update.  Sure, it's not the ideal PS3 console release.  Sure, it's not like Melty will ever be Tekken/Super Street Fighter level of popularity game.  Sure, it won't be in EVO again because it's run on computer, but you got it.  The only differences between us and an actual arcade is we only have to lug our computers for a weekend and back.  Is it a bitch?  Yes.  But this scene is strong enough and has a dedicated enough hardcore base to actually handle that. 

If you believe this sort of good blessing is somehow a bad thing (not to mention for a game I KNOW half of you won't even pay for), your nutshit crazy.  Mauve even came out and said he'd work on the netplay already.  TypeMoon made a business decision that wasn't heartless to the foreign market, but still within all the circumstances and capabilities. 

We're a hardcore dedicated scene for a reason.  It's because we have people dedicated enough to bring out their PCs and setup the tournaments.  And like Brandino said, we know the drills and now people won't have to bitch about modding to try the game.  What part of this is bad exactly?  Just because having a tournament is a little bit more of a chore? 

You're all so lucky.  Quit your bitching.

The main problem is that the computer has to deal with streaming the video and playing the game at the same time. I guess theoretically there would be some way to have a PC display to a tv and have another capture from that same TV. I think this can be done using capture cards.

Loved the post where the last two statements pretty much summed up everything.  Also, couldn't a person bring a beefy laptop that can play and stream live content?  MB hasn't changed much over the years to cause a PC to keel over.  I also dunno what kind of specs or good software one would need to stream live content adequately.

Anyway, I thought the topic was supposed to be something about netplay rather than streaming matches...

I don't know about that. Here's what I see as required (somebody who knows more about this than me please correct me if I'm wrong)

2 Desktop w/ screen or laptops
1 TV
splitter/capture card
appropriate cables

1: Connect comp 1 (the one playing the game) to the tv and use it as a second monitor.
2: Split the output to the tv into comp 2
3: Stream from comp 2

Overall, the setup looks like what you'd do to capture off of a PS3 or whatever system.

this is correct. the problem is when quality becomes an issue

the easiest way to split is via composite, and also the lowest quality. by the time you get to the 2nd pc the quality will be extremely bad

if you want higher quality you're looking at vga/dvi/hdmi splitting and separate cables for audio, requiring a substantially more complex setup

But since it's done in the same manner as the PS2 streaming is done would that mean that it would at least be on par with the streaming we already do? Or do does the change to composite decrease the quality past that?

ps2 streaming is currently done on composite (svid if you're baller), so it would be comparable/slightly worse than what's being done now. the issue is presentation. if you want a game to be legit and attract non-fans, you need a quality stream with good res. blurryvision isn't going to cut it, that's the reality of modern fg streams

Just a question: I've been trying to push my local arcade to get MBAACC. With a port readily available, do you think it's possible to make a PC to Cabinet port like people do with PS3/XBOX ports? I mean the technique is out there, and I figure it's probably a similar approach. If that's the case, I'd gladly like to see arcades go that route. Either way it goes, want it now!

We can all be happy we're finally getting to play it but I want more new people, and well both PS2 versions did that for the community while the PC versions never did.

Really?

"A new game I've never tried and know nothing of, I'll just import a japanese PS2 so i can give it a try"
"A new game I've never tried and know nothing of, let's install it and give it a try"

Which one sounds more likely to you? I for one, would never have bothered with Melty if not for MBAC PC and i'm pretty sure there's more of that opinion among the people i play with.

Yes, it did.

Both times.

We didn't lose people with the PC version but we weren't gaining either.

The PS2 version brought in a new wave of people on both accounts.

(almost) no one fracking imported a jp ps2 to play melty, it's really fucking easy, like SUPER EASY, to find a way to play the game on your domestic console

also I think the way more people learn about and try new (fighting) games is less "let's install it and give it a try" or "burn it to an iso and give it a try" and more "go to a friend's house/tournament/outside my basement and see people playing it and then give it a try."

last summer I made an unsuccessful bid to bring games besides SFIV and Halo to my local nerd friends, including mbaa, ggac, and bb. It didn't work, but I wouldn't have even tried if melty was pc-only, it is a legitimate hassle to introduce these kinds of games to people on pcs, with mbaa all I needed was my friend's ps2 my memory card and the game. I didn't have to set up my laptop at his house and dig up converters and all that other bullshit. I got people playing for like thirty minutes but no one dug it, wouldn't have even bothered if it was still mbac days tho

I think the issue is also regional, the Brazilian crew and Europeans are all about the pc shit, I dunno why, maybe because the scene for mbaa ps2 is close to nonexistent in most parts of the world?

As far as I know, In Brazil (I know someone from Brazil) videogames are excessively expensive. From a video I was shown: 258 Reais for a game (I'm not even talking about consoles) costs 161 USD.

That is correct,as far as I know,only the US has a (relatively) healthy offline tournament scene,EU is pretty much stuck on MBAC with some random MBAA meetups(its more like an addition rather than the focus),and that is of course for Western Europe,Eastern Europe is forced to suck it up,since no one wants to travel thousands of kilometers to play a game they never touched.

I'd like to add Latin America on this. It's rare to find people to even heard of MB (most of players are from KOF or MVC), so, a PC version is welcome here for those who have none of those games.

Well, my local arcade seems to like the idea. It's so far in the distant future that they could consider a cabinet utilizing a timer board like they do for Marvel. I really like where this is going because it's much more affordable than encouraging them to get the arcade board.

We could discuss forever what release would be better. Searching for "melty blood" in google trend I could say console almost killed melty blood...

Most people in Brazil preffer PC because most of us don't have a PS3. There was never a reason for us to buy one. Most of us play only PC games, or only MB. If it came out for PS3 I would do anything to buy the PS3, the max shooter for ps3 to use keyboard and MBCC, it would cost something equivalent to 1k dollars. I would buy it somehow, but I'm pretty sure most of the players would drop. Also we think that a good netplay is really important: it's where experience can come everyday in our spare time. Also we don't have big tournaments we want to insert ourselves in, we make our own thing, so we don't have that problem, and I think that might be the reason for the Europeans too.

But anyway, it might come out for PS3 too. The best thing is probably PC + PS3. I think at least in that point everyone can agree xD. There was some discussion about netplaying being bad, but these days everygame has netplay, so I think this discussion is overcome xD

Just wait for the standalone release...I mean they can't possibly lose out on releasing it like that when the thing is packed and ready to go, right?

Anyway, with regards to console, it's honestly probably worth remembering that MB looks old, it's not HD and it doesn't even look that good in smaller resolutions (like VP and AH3 do), and it's 2d, AND they don't have the resources to do netplay. Combining factors like that make it unlikely that FB/TM could sell it on PS3/360 as a disc release, or even at a decent price on XBL/PSN since both companies have silly QC standards for things like that. Whereas as a PC application they can get away with it, and don't have to deal with regional publishing stuff, as neither of those companies really have any real experience in dealing with their foreign audience.

Whilst obviously none of that means console versions are out of the question, I doubt a disc console release can happen for the game, and even if it does, is it really better if people have to jump through hoops making japanese XBL/PSN and stuff to get the game? (I'm not even sure stuff like that still works, I know I did it a long time ago to download the RE5 demo on my 360 when it was out in Japan early, but I'm pretty sure I heard that the XBL Ougon release is locked...)

On the flipside, if it did hit as a downloadable game, it might get picked up/localised by AkSys or something. But that's another IF. At least we can ALL get this version when it hits, and there's no split. There's also some info due about MB and UNIB at TGS.

Fact is, that FB save alot of time by just making a non-netplay game and rely on the guys that made MBCaster back then and think "hohoho"
or
They implement a standard netplay-feature and think "hohoho we don't need servers now"
or
They make it netplay impossible.

People complaining about streaming setups: if you have a capture card that takes HDMI, it won't be that bad. Split the HDMI (this shouldn't be a problem as I doubt the output from a laptop would be encrypted), and feed one to the player's display and the other to the streaming setup. Audio would have to be split, but that's a common problem on consoles too.

Another solution: if/when mauve (or Tropsy or your mom) makes MBCaster, set up a small LAN network with all of the tournament stations. The streaming computer can either stream one station or jump from station to station as needed (or if you're feeling extra fancy, stream multiple games at once).

There are USB adapters that make the PS3 controllers Plug & Play. Was at a tournament just a few days ago and people plugged PS3 controllers into my laptop without issues.
Do you have a source for this? I'm curious why such a product would even exist... and this would only really work if there's a button configuration in-game.

No clue where they got it from, as i don't use said controllers myself.
But don't they sell PC gamepads that are basically the same as the dualshock controllers, except they're plug & play by default?
Seems like an even easier solution to me.

The fact that PS3 is a 'we'll tell the boss' instead of 360's deliberate 'NO' I think there's still a pretty good chance going for it (and PSVita probably too). Just at the minute a PC port is much quicker and easier to dish out especially while their main focus is Under Bread.

it's more about quantity than anything else yeah.

i give absolutely no guarantees on rollback anything, that's a longterm anything if i decide to go for it. i gave a big fat maybe on that for a reason. you don't even know how much work it'd be and i don't know how much time i'd be able or willing to give to it then. for all i know i'll play it and decide i hate the game and my rage will be the kind of thing heard for ages.

iamp's took two months to go from "i have a plan" to "it works 95% of the time", and a few more months before it hit 99%. i don't think anything else would go faster. you can read about it over at an article i wrote on mizuumi. (http://mizuumi.net/2010/11/27/caster-the-making-of-rollcaster/) it still has a few bugs, like uncommon desyncs (mostly yuyuko/patchouli related in my experience) and spectator desyncs(the players are still fine, but the specs desync. no clue on this one.). there's not enough of a player base to make fixing them worth my while.

also, bear in mind that amp is probably the simplest of the doujin fighters available, the coding is very plain. more elaborate things would take more effort.

So a few days ago the original th075Caster guy, Weltail, talked about netplay for MBAACC PC on the site (http://njm4558.run.buttobi.net/), and things like how hard it'd be to do officially, the likelihood of foreigners doing it for them, possible fracturing of the userbase, piracy, etc.

メルブラのネット対戦、実装するだけなら技術的に難しいところは無いと思う。色々穿って考えてみる
・単純に実装が難しい→浮動小数点のズレを解消できないという意味?
・ロビー周り・ユーザーインターフェースの実装が難しい→メーカが自前でロビー提供は無謀と思うのでこれは無さそう(売ったからには保証がいるような)
・ユーザ認証まわりが難しい→海外販売ルートが充実しなければ、いつかは海外で割れ蔓延+Caster作られる。現実的に海外販売の充実はコストに見合うのかどうか。国内向け?
・デバッグされないようにするのが難しい→時間をかければ暗号化・パッケージ化も解除される。定期的なアップデートは真っ当なユーザに負担あるだろうからこれもなさそう。GameGuard検討してるなら目途は立つはず。
まとめてみると、”同期ズレを解消するのが時間かかりそう。それよりネット対戦省いてリリースする”という意味が濃厚のような気がする。
ユーザ認証のあたりはCasterが割れの象徴になりそうで嫌だが、悪貨は良貨を駆逐するということで個人的に折り合いをつけるしかない。Caster自体は単なる再利用しやすいコード。
何も関係ないところから眺めていられたらいいけれども。

I put up a thing on the MBCaster page (http://mauve.sandwich.net/MBCaster.html) giving my thoughts on it.
  • I want MBAACC to have good netplay. MBCaster has relatively few desyncs. I don't believe the FPU issue will be a large problem.
  • American Internet latency is awful. 50ms to 100ms average, often more. Japanese netplay generally does not understand this, and lags badly. Akatsuki Blitzkampf's netplay is literally unplayable. Touhou Hisouten uses double the necessary input delay.(WHY?!? Fucking shitty game.) Even commercial works like Street Fighter IV and Marvel vs Capcom 3 are almost unplayable online. So, I do not trust Japanese netplay to work well in America, and as such fan works like Caster and GGPO are very important to me.
  • On a related note: 3rd Strike Online has amazing netplay and is a great port. Buy it, guys. Support GGPO!
  • Piracy is unavoidable. If it is not through Caster it will be through something else. It is better to make them into customers, people generally will want to pay if it is available to them. Americans would absolutely get Melty if it were available on Steam.
  • In my mind, GameGuard is malware. I will never install any software that uses GameGuard, it is far too invasive. Worst of all, it doesn't work. Using it will lead to pirates having a better experience than normal users. Unacceptable.
  • (Weltail, French Bread should totally hire you to write it. Add rollbacks to it! It'll be awesome!) (... And let's play Suimusou sometime!)

Apologies for the slight off topic.

Mauve, as a games programmer myself (although mostly a peon gameplay/scripter rather than wizard/tech guy), I've always been interested in how rollback netcode actually works.  I have a rough idea of it, but I'm unclear on the precise details.

Could you please point me to any links, articles, or code that explains the principle behind rollback netcode?  My understanding breaks down at the level of a frame-by-frame step through... I'm like, ok, PC1 at frame 2503 recieves a packet and detects a desync... what now?!?

If there are any resources on the net that you could show me, I'd much appreciate it.  Google has failed me so far, I'm sorry.
(alternatively I'm happy to pester you with specific questions but I imagine that would be more annoying for you.)

You keep save states of the start of each frame and make sure you can step the game forwards without needing to render to the screen. When you receive data from 'x' frames ago, you rewind to that frame and rerun everything from that frame up until now. Aside from the save states, you need to track sound too. Basically sounds that have already started need to remain playing if they have not been retconned out, and stopped if they were. This is a bit of extra accounting information but doable. Only other real problems are from solving synchronization issues.

How you do the state information is up to you. You can either retain full information for each frame and copy everything over, or keep reversable deltas so you 'rewind' everything one frame at a time.

There's a few things you would probably want to do like change the way the camera moves to be smoother, so it's not quite so jittery on massive movement changes.

Edit: Additionally, you can read the pain i went through hacking it into IaMP (http://mizuumi.net/2010/11/27/caster-the-making-of-rollcaster/) over on the now basically dead mizuumi blog.

Ah k, thanks a lot!  Thinking about it more, I was confused whose "state" the system reverts to in the event of a desync.  But that's irrelevant because the system takes into account all inputs anyways, I guess.

I suppose if one was writing a game from scratch, it might be smarter for the netcode to be aware of animations, so rather than, "He activated his 10 frame jab 5 frames ago, so instantly jump to frame 5 now", it would instead play all/some of the frames of that jab in the remaining 5 frames, at a higher speed to fit it in.  Gameplay stuff like hitboxes will remain at the original speed, so its purely a visual hack.

For a 3D game, that would result in smoother visuals than a raw teleport.
Although expert players may not like the loss of precision when visuals no longer exactly match underlying mechanics.

If your logic is sufficiently detached from your rendering, you shouldn't have any problems just sliding the timeline of the visuals along without any real cost or loss in accuracy.

Cool, thanks.


Oh, just one more question.  So, in GGPO (and presumably 3rd Strike OE), you'll get most people blindly setting 0, 1 or 2 for their input delay, even if their ping is above 33ms.  Does that mean, in a match, almost every attack/input from the other player skips the first few frames?

The delay/buffer value is considered to be a synchronization value more than anything else. You rollback the instant you receive _ANYTHING,_ so the setting is irrelevant.

The input delay setting applies for your local game, not for the opponent's view. They don't even have to match on the other side: It's a slider where you control the amount of input delay to reduce the amount of rollbacks that you, and you alone, see.
: Re: The MB:AA:CC:PC thread: at least the netplay will be good
: zeech August 28, 2011, 06:09:50 PM
(should I take this to PM's?  or maybe its interesting to others?)

I'm confused.  Here's what I thought the input delay was for:

- My ping to you is about 5 frames worth.
- I set my input delay to 2 frames.
- I press a button at frame 500, it generates a "At frame 502, do a jab" packet to send to you.
- 5 frames later (frame 505), you receive the packet, process the jab from the past (frame 502), and skip the first 3 frames of the jab's animation.

Whereas if my input delay was 5 frames, then you would see the entire animation of the jab properly.
In "real life", our screens would match up. (if we were testing in the same room with a latency simulator, for example.)

So my input delay setting doesnt matter to the rollbacks of my moves that I see on my screen at all, (except when my moves interact with yours).

eg.  You have your input delay set to zero.  Every attack you do has an instantaneous start time.
Since I receive packets 5 frames later, every one of your attacks instantly skips forward to the 5th animation frame.

Is this incorrect?

I don't care in the slightest if this thread gets clogged up. This is probably keeping people from posting stupid shit really.

And, yeah, that's more or less right, except in your two input delay example I think you meant 'skip the first 2 frames', not 3.

It's a tradeoff that hides stuff in favor of letting your buttons pop up smoother.

Oh. I should clarify, though, that if you push the base input delay up, you're essentially stating that you don't need input until that frame, so it's likely that the game will synchronize on _that_ frame, which means you will get less rollback from the opponent since they'll still be syncing to the original frame value.

Sorry, I'm not really sure I understand what you are saying here.  Are you saying, if I set an input delay of 5, and press a button, the game wont actually try to send the packet until 5 frames later??  That seems kinda bad?


If the scenario I posted above was correct (apart from some minor maths fail :) ), then doesnt it mean that a person who sets his input delay to 0, will get instant response on his own screen, and cause maximum skipping and rollbacks on his opponent's screen?   Doesnt it mean that setting zero delay gives you an advantage over your more considerate opponent?

No, this is wrong. It's about the synchronization between the two systems. Take the following example.
This is the implementation as in RollCaster. Newer versions of GGPO have a separate synchronization clock which is far more lenient, sometimes allowing up to half a second of data loss without any frame drops, but this has its own drawbacks.

RollCaster has few special rules for handling packet loss, allowing one frame of drop before holding the game up, is handled as follows:
AFAIK there's a bug which causes issues with spectators in this, but I don't know where it came from.

(1)
  • In the event that both players are sending data for N+0, they will still synchronize at N+5, causing both players to run the game 'ahead' by 5 frames. You can't erase latency.


(2)
  • If GracePeriod is non-zero and not all data for frames up to the synchronization frame are received, block and wait.
Ah ok.  I didn't know about the synchronisation part.

1. So both players have set 0 input delay.  I know I said that there are 5 frames of latency between the players, but how does rollcaster know that it needs to sync at N+5?  Does rollcaster measure the ping and decide on a value internally, outside of the control of the players?

2. Does rollcaster send an update every frame?  Or just when events occur / inputs are received?  How does it know when "all" data for a frame has been received?

Latency is measured at the beginning of a connection and can be manually tweaked by the players afterwards. There's no need for this, a smarter system could analyze the ping throughout, but it's not that important.

Yes, input is sent every frame, even if there is no change, for purposes of sync.

Back when #mages-association was at its peak, often times I thought to myself when doing online training sessions and tutorials via caster w/ people, "man, I wish there was a way to netplay through training mode".

Just throwing out the idea since some people may want to consider setting up training sessions or live tutorials w/ new players via netplay next time around. (...Ok, I probably the *only* person interested in doing this again lol).

yeah, what I used to do was set caster to debug which would result in me hosting but playing against myself. Spectators would join through my IP and observe. P2 would be unusable, obviously, but it would allow me to use it as a dummy of sorts to demonstrate combox/setups/movement/etc. And likewise, the observer could produce the same setup through debug and I could in turn watch them "practice" and would be able to correct their mistakes on the spot.

Having the option to just select training mode would make it a bit less annoying though (P2 dying and having to reselect characters, meter building issues, timer).

not that mbcaster had real docs, i only ever wrote those for rollcaster.

actual training mode integration i don't see happening for a number of reasons, though some sort of fake 'cheat' mode with infinite health or something is feasible if i can be convinced to bother with the synchronization required.

 私自身は手を動かすつもりはないので、あとはもう公式のプログラマが意地を出して(経営判断以上の)いいものを作ってくれることを祈るだけ。先日書いたのを↓もう一度書いておきます。
 ”ネット対戦の実装自体は難しくないので、もはや誰でも短時間で実装できます。対戦品質について、まさかCaster以下のものを出してはこないでしょう。フランスパンのプログラマに期待です。”

I sorta get what he's saying but not quite confidently enough. Anybody else feel like giving it a crack? Curbeh? Komidol? Anyone?

As this is a delicate question I think people will take longer to answer..

I personally would feel safer with your netplay which I know is good... Trusting is good and I want to belive them too, but IDK... People already said they don't trust the coming netplay for the expected needs...

I don't even care anymore. I just want to play some melty. Plenty of time to see how the official netplay turns out.
I'll grind out training mode in ECSTASY for months if their netplay doesn't turn out well. Not like we don't have it in us lug laptops around again, either.

It's not as simple as that though. Mauve has stated before his main issues with netplay hacks were based in legality more than anything else, and making a caster for this game would definitely piss off furapan to a large degree. When furapan are actually focusing heavy resources into the netplay side of the game and even adding an authentication system, it's not the same "adding features" as the previous casters have been. Mauve also respects the developers a lot as he's already said, and doesn't want to essentially shit on their work by redoing it in his own way.

Seeing how this is the thread for the pc version of the game, and it is going to be packaged with this volume.  I assume people (at least some) will legitimately buy the game.  Therefore I thought it would be logical to ask here if anyone had looked into getting it as it is to come out in a little over a month?  Seems pretty relevant

Does anyone know if it needs the blu ray only for installing or the it will always have to be in your blu ray drive in order to play? Since it comes with a gamekey I don't want to need the blu ray always... So I can just borrow a blu ray drive, install and return the blu ray drive after game installed =x.

That sounds good.. So most likely the game would come in a dvd together with the CP blu ray?

I was talking with Inso about my concerns on the blu ray drive, and he said that even if the game comes in blu ray, there will be probably ripped versions out there, so you could use the gamekey that comes with your original game in the ripped version and avoid purchasing a blu ray drive. What you guys think about that?

What are your expectations on the trial version by the way guys?

And then, extra luxury and that Koch favorite fighting game of this story is rather "MELTY BLOOD Actress Again Current Code ver1.07"!
Total earnings so far just that. Tsukihime is just a Wakewakame Rizubaife knight shield, Akiba uniforms, in addition to both the race ritual guest, armed Arcueid Ciel and the true father (princess) can also heartily enjoy!
Ancestors ALC scenario Meruburarashii true "final tightening" is written as is also the world pretends to tell the princess before the next month at a time. Transcendental system of Vampire Princess Royal, a one-time lifetime "Roman Holiday", and want to give a warm eyes watching.

Ok, the trial is out.
http://meltyblood.info/?p=609
Link is there in the middle of the wall of text.

Relevant notes:
- When there is an update to the trial, the old version will cease working.
- When they patch the full game for netplay, the trial wont be supported anymore.
- Don't redistribute the file without permission.
- To netplay it is required an optic fiber internet conexion or similar high speed conexion :(
- To serve as host in netplay you need to open TCP and UDP ports.

Nice demo. Too bad none of the characters I usually play are in there.

Anyhow, if anybody tries running the demo on Linux with wine and runs into a crash upon entering the netplay menu, feel free to drop me a message. It seems that wine returns 0 as a dimension when rendering certain texts, which leads to this division by zero crash. I made a tiny patch for MBAA.exe that adds a check and avoids the problem (digging through wine to fix it there would've been more work), which I could send over.

Not sure how much my opinion matters but I think this netplay is very tolerable, if not fine if played by two players with good computers and internet locally. Obviously there's delay of course, but I expected far worse, so I will say that this is playable for sure.

Wonder if it's possible to make something like the MB & Party's Breaker Universal key config app that was made for the original MB (which thankfully also worked with AC)

If you want to play on KB, here's what I've come up with:

Download AutoHotkey. (http://www.autohotkey.com/download/)
Use the following script:

:
#MaxHotkeysPerInterval 1000

z::c
x::v
c::b
v::f

a::y
s::y
d::y
w::y

Down::s
Left::a
Right::d
Up::w



n:: Left
m:: Down
,:: Right
.:: Up

j::y
k::y
l::y
i::y


numpad8::i
numpad5::k
numpad4::j
numpad6::l

This maps P1 to arrows and zxcv and P2 to numpad and nm,. The default directional keys (wasd and ijkl) are configured to output y to prevent misinputs. I can't seem to map macros correctly though.

:
a::send {c down}{v down}{c up}{v up}
s::send {c down}{f down}{c up}{f up}

The above sets a to dash macro, and s to throw macro, but for heat you gotta input manually. Sometimes they won't work correctly. If you want to use them put them at the beginning of the script after the first line. I can't get them to work for P2. :/

If someone comes up with a key config app it would be really good.


As for the netplay, it is playable, but US <-> Europe connection is way worse than Supercade/ArcLive/GGPO.

The program works with scripts created in notepad. So you can make a new notepad file, paste the stuff in, save it as a .ahk file and then open it through the program. An icon should pop up in the taskbar. If you press "z" and "c" comes up, then the script is working. You can stop it by selecting Suspend Hotkeys from the tray icon or by quitting the program. Of course, you can customize the scripts to your preferred buttons.

I'm not sure why, but then I netplay on 1680x1050 I get this constant massive stuttering of the framerate. Using 640x480 seems to fix this. This does not occur when I'm offline. Good thing there isn't much to gain from higher resolutions here.  ;D

just avoid playing with people from other countries, and run at the same resolution that your opponent is using (640x480 and 800x600) or it will go apeshit

Heat, Blood Heat and Max lag my computer. Granted, might be because I had to replace my HD monitor with a low res one (I'm afraid it is a factor, isn't?), but also, my video card is the only thing that doesn't qualify for me to play it smoothly. ._.

I was thinking in getting a GE Force 7900 of 256 MB (or maybe one of the 8000 series), but I'm not sure if my motherboard can support it. 7100 is the one built in the computer by default. Other than that, I can find very neat combos with F-Sion. owo

I took a bit of time translating the Information Bar below. It was surprisingly easy to change the text to english. For now I translated all menus except Training Menu and Netplay Menu. I'll be working on them in the next hours.

Link here. Just put everything in Information folder http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C4GQ3DP7
Unfortunately, only that can be translated for now unless someone hack the files.

On a side note, it seems that I can't connect to TCP matches nor I can't host games. It keeps bugging me of some code error when I'm trying to connect with someone and the reverse when someone tries to connect with me, but it doesn't tell me much, specially since I'm the only one having that problem. Any ideas? Someone is having the same problem as me? :/

@ Cristu: super IAD is an IAD with dash momentum, no?
Yes.

By the way V.Sion dash is still crap. Like in MBAA it needs one attack to cancel the dash and other attack to actually attack (like Ciel's in MBAC). The way to fix this is doing dash 5BA if you want dash 5A or dash 2BA if you want dash 2A.

The input buffer has changed from 12f to 8f.
You can still do dash momentum IAD with 6696A+B, and dashing 236A is harder but still doable with 236A+B~A.

I was dropping some of my combos due to the buffer, until I realized I was doing the input too early.

You're right, I just tested it now the 236BA A... There is a new thing to it though... You have to 23[6]AB release 6 and then hit A =o.

About the super IAD, yeah... But I was happier with 6686 :{.

No use. I suppose it's my internet. These days is being very slow. Even my 3G works better -_-

As I said before, I continued translating these files. I've finished with networking (Only Training Menu is left, but I'm too lazy to translate aaaaaaaaall of it right now :V). Considering that I couldn't get Network Mode to work, it's nothing more almost a draft of it. If anyone wishes to help me polish the translation, the better.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TBQT8WRK

And it seems that the full version of MBAACC will require an License ID (Serial?) to play online games even with TCP/IP ones. In the files there are some errors related to having an invalid license ID or playing with the same License ID.

If my deductions are correct, I seriously hope Type Moon makes a separate release of MBAACC from Carnival Phantasm. As much as I love CP, it's too expensive and useless for me paying both just to play MBAACC (considering that I don't have any BluRay Drive  :gonk:)

Well, here in Brazil direct IP netplay seems to be really bad. I can't play with almost anyone properly, even if they live in the same city as me or in a 150 miles radio. Trying to play with ppl that I usually get between 15~30ms of ping leads to a game running less than 10fps from the very char select screen, lagging the whole computer in the proccess. Only one person who lives around 150 miles from me led to playable matches, with very little slowdown from time to time, and he's the only one that manages to conect decently with other players who live even farther (like 400 miles). It's like he's blessed or something.

Matchmaking seems to work much better, but it's hard to get a match that doesnt freeze from time to time. I have a capable computer and a 10mbps ADSL connection (with cable, not wi-fi), and everyone that I tried with had at least 2Mbps in similar conditions.

From what you guys experienced, does that make sense?

You have the last version of your video board plugins? And the last directX version your board support? Usually when you get those errors you don't have one of those, but if you do then it's probably a video board issue..

I was going to do this myself, but I don't think there are any left because about a month of so ago Carnival Phantasm Vol.3 had a Special Edition version, which I presume was the copy with the game.

Yeah I had the same problem also only in netplay. I think this stuttering issue happens when both players use different resolutions, however I might be wrong. Yesterday I had a game running at 3-5 fps in the char select screen.

What are the things I should be looking out for when playing Direct Connect? I'm trying to play with a friend who is literally a 5 min drive away and it's spiking way too much. We both have the same settings, we play on the default resolution. He has mapped keyboard keys with that weird program but I don't see how that should affect it at all. We have stages animation set to off.....And I'm pretty sure our connections aren't ass since we can connect to other games fine. Is it just MBAACC?

Demo works great and I can play with very little lag. But i have one annoying problem with the game between rounds. Whenever the little splash screen comes up to say "round X... Fight!", it blacks out my screen and i can't see anything for a good 5 seconds into the match. Even though my opponent can see and attack me.

example:

Check your documentation to see if your motherboard supports stand alone vidcard. If not, you're probably better off just getting a new system rather than upgrading motherboard, cpu, and video.

I love that it's so much easier to IAD with stick now. Just a simple 96AB or 76AB does the trick. Even if this was present in the previous games, I find it much easier than before. And pressing multiple buttons together works so much better than in SF. In the button display, it shows that I pressed A for 1 frame before it registers A+B and I can even do a 6A~B, yet I still dash. SF is so much less forgiving.

I portforwarded ; Network > Matchmaking Mode > Arcade Mode > TCP/UDP NO: 46318

Not sure if this is correct, also sometimes when I go into arcade and waiting for a challenge I get an error.

Is there a translation for the network mode anywhere?

All I know is the method of waiting in Arcade for a challenge.

If you are using the matchmaking option, then port forward the default ports, both TCP and UDP : 46318. (I'm not even sure it's necessary for the matchmaking option.)
If you are using the direct connect option, you have the option to host on a port that you specify, therefore you must port forward whatever port you told it to host on, but the default is : 46318.
With out readable error messages, it's hard to say why you are getting errors in matchmaking. But I'd guess it's because you are not in Japan, and are just timing out to whoever you are connecting to, who is prolly in Japan. I'd recommend getting on IRC, finding someone to play there, and using the direct connect option to play.

It leaked, but let's buy it anyway. Who cares if it's initially more expensive, you can sell the Carnival Phantasm blu-ray later and in the end will be cheaper then a stand alone version. The game alone wont cost much less then that, and there will be no blu-ray to sell and get money back in a stand alone version. Plus, they deserve it, everybody who plays Melty Blood knows that (but scrubs maybe, but who cares about them).

It's a good question, even if other people are dicks about it. MBAACC is only being released with the Blu-Ray release of Carnival Phantasm volume 3. The problem? The place I preordered from was cdjapan.co.jp, and they're sold out. Amazon.co.jp doesn't ship to the USA, so you could use an import service to purchase it from there, and then someone will send it to you.

One more small update. I've changed mbaacctool some more, now it works with both the demo and the full version. It should work for future versions too, unless there are big changes to certain areas of the code. Here it is: mbaacctool-generic (http://www.mediafire.com/?r8i7wvq0ow9z11b) [Fixed]

That's some sort of problem with the netplay it seems. I had a delay of 2 with a ping of 15 playing with someone, but the FPS lag was ridiculous, and my CPU was shooting up to 100% usage for whatever reason.

That was for a version of the MBAC framedisplay. The additional stuff was done by Sprint.

The thing is, between MBAC and MBAA the format drastically changed. So I would have had to re-derive everything from the new format and I simply did not care that much.

I'm also not sure the original was 100% correct or trustworthy enough to actually use. I think you're probably better off just testing it as before.

It works pretty decently. Make sure you have d3dx9_36.dll either in wine's windows/system32 directory or in the game directory. You might have to add a native,builtin override for it in winecfg under libraries. As for the crashes mauve mentioned, he'd written a tool (http://www.meltybread.com/forums/melty-blood-auditorium/the-mbaaccpc-thread-at-least-the-netplay-will-be-good/msg96247/#msg96247) that fixes them for the trial version and allows key rebinding. I updated (http://www.mediafire.com/?r8i7wvq0ow9z11b) it for the current (and with luck future) version. To use the tool, just unpack it to your game folder and start mbaacctool.exe with wine. It will launch MBAA.exe with the necessary fixes and key rebinds.

I've got a peculiar problem. It seems that whenever I enter Heat, be it manually in C-Moon, automatically in H-Moon or by IH in F-Moon, the whole game suddenly gets laggy and runs at around 50fps. However, if I ever enter Blood Heat, everything is perfectly fine. Turning animated backgrounds off in the options solves this, but if possible, I prefer leaving them on. Exactly what specs are needed to run a game like this?

This has to be a driver issue. Are all drivers up to date? What you describe is the shader effect's fault. If you play on windowed, you can also try disabling Windows Aero.

Or it can be something connected to the optimus technology in the 5xx nvidia series. I have a 525 in my laptop, but it seems to run fine on both integrated graphics and the nvidia accelerator. Try running on both of the options and see if it makes any difference.

Now this is really weird... After trying your methods (not yet updated drivers though. But I doubt there are new ones. My laptop needs to get the drivers released by Asus and not the ones directly by nVidia because of the Power4Hybrid, and they release drivers real slowly...) everything's smooth again, even with my old settings. But what really baffled me was why does it lagg when I'm in Heat and not in Blood Heat.

You could try if it works with mbaacctool-rev11 (http://www.mediafire.com/?qep5b00bbu0rpa9), which doesn't scan the memory and just works with fixed memory addresses.

Do you have an up to date wine version? I'm using 1.3.32, and I've heard from somebody using an older version (1.0.1) that it didn't work for him. Also, Intel cards can be a bit troublesome with programs that use more recent techniques, although that usually manifests as bad performance. The problem mbaacctool fixes shouldn't occur until after the main menu (I got crash e.g. when entering the netplay menu) with untranslated inis.

Hello guys,

New on this board. I just have a question with regards to the Carnival Phantasm 3 BR bundle: Is MBAACC packaged just like Act Cadenza B, as in a disc in a tall DVD case shrinkwrapped and included with the Blu Ray cases in a box or is it stored in the blu ray discs along with the anime?

I'd like to buy the bundle but can't find a place to buy it. :-( I hope "Current Code" does get a stand alone release ala Act Cadenza B.

Thanks in advance!

next one will supposedly unlock boss type characters as well (eclipse mode characters) if the guy can fix the problem with g-akiha crashes, probably related to the eclipse mode.

Awesome! It even works online when both people enable it.

against my better judgment i got annoyed and hunted down the delay calculation code last night

as expected, it's calculating incorrectly and increasing delay at increments of 14ms... if that value is ms anyway... which it isn't, i'm not sure what it is, but it's similar. i put a test version of my tool that tweaks it out last night but it seems my values were incorrect so i'll take another look

worse was when i found the recv function... is this game really using tcp? holy shit, that is unfixable.

also i have a massive headache today and am not even going to look at this crap

It only uses tcp at the start of the connection and exchanges 2 * 8 bytes every second for whatever reason (the same data every time so probably a check to see if both sides are still there). The netplay uses udp packets with an order number every frame.

I figured this out with a packet capture on the demo, doubt they changed it.

http://mauve.sandwich.net/misc/mbaacctool-v11-delaytest.zip

testing tool version that reduces delay, launches mbaa.exe etc

the delay algorithm is fucking retarded, it takes average_ping*13/20 and then checks by multiples of 14 to see if it should use that delay or not. which has too many overall functions to it really and doesn't produce good results.

translating this game seems to be pretty easy so far. the files don't even need to be repacked, the game can read them outside of the .p files too as long as the folder/file structure's left intact and the corresponding .p file absent. it can also read pngs in place of the dds textures without trouble.

Did you change the replay name format?  I know when I changed it to something like "<1PSTYLE>-<1PNAME>x<2PSTYLE>-<2PNAME>_20<Y>-<M>-<D>_<H>:<m>:<S>" the replays didn't show up, but switching it to "<1PNAME>x<2PNAME>_20<Y>-<M>-<D>_<H>-<m>-<S>" fixed the problem.
Other than that, I've had no problems with local replays.  I haven't done any netplay (partly because my computer has trouble with the Max/[Blood] Heat and some of the stages, especially the ones right beside random), but I've heard the problem is only with netplay replays.

It's a false positive. The tool does DLL injection and patches the running game process. Viruses like doing this too, so some AV software has heuristics that are triggered by this.

Also AVG sucks.

Yeah my translations are probably considered viruses and stuff by some overzealous AVs too, since they use the same method.

Problem is there's only so many ways to unofficially mod something, and this is how you get in without modifying the original executable. I'll probably end up having to make an exe patch or something that loads it and I really don't want to do that.

Any way i can get this tool to not change the key bindings?
I've got a tool that patches the exe and let's me decide the key bindings with button presses, which is nice and fast, and last time i tried this tool; it would always use default key bindings even though i changed the values in the config file :psyduck:

Also, thanks for making our game playable, Mauve.

if it was using default bindings even if you changed the values it uh probably isn't working at all though. that's weird.

I have Avast and disabled all the shields on that even though Avast has never said anything about preventing it running. If MBAA.exe is not present it won't crash and will give the message that it requires MBAA.exe to run.

Does anyone have any ideas what the issue could be?

Besides patching the EXE, the new patch also fixes typos with Archetype's command lists and story mode ending.  It does so by dropping a patch file 0008.p

Translators out there, this means you could repack all your work into 0008.p without worrying about modifying anything else.

I figured this is as good a place to ask as any, since I can't get help elsewhere...

EDIT: Nevermind, solved my problem by opening the patch with winrar (even though it was an .exe file...) and copying the files into my game folder.

One thing I WOULD like to discuss though, is how Mauve's delay tool actually causes MORE lag for my friend and I when we play with it, rather than without it.
What's up with that?
: Re: The MB:AA:CC:PC thread: v.1.2 out!

I think the delay tool decreases input lag, and not lag itself. Of course, if you have a laggy connection with someone, I don't think using that tool is a good idea...

If I use the delay tool, the game is completely unplayable, but if I use the version right before, everything works perfectly.

I'm pretty sure it changes the way netplay delay is calculated. So it wouldn't change anything offline. And even online, it can't really do much. It's not like it can just make your connection better. It just makes it so that the game doesn't make you play with more delay than you have to.

The problem is that it's kinda... counterproductive for some people. I get 599~999 ping when using the delay tool, lol. I don't understand why it lags us so much.  :mystery:

still better than a 2050+ release without proper patching tools.

right now the only way is to either unpack the files yourself or use the pre-unpacked files from someone else. first one fails because there are no actual public tools, second could be seen as piracy.

and there's no way to repack them yet, not to mention a full script translation for everything.

It doesn't do a goddamn thing to the ping calculation, just the way it calculates the delay. Like, you see on screen "Delay d(n)", d is the value is changes the calculation of. Nothing else.

At best that might be because of the single-CPU setting but I have no idea why that'd do that.

For anyone that cares, the song that plays in Archetype's stage isn't actually called "Hime Stage."

According to Raito (http://d.hatena.ne.jp/French-Bread/20120204/1328367273), it's called "開闢を讃う姫歌 (かいびゃくをたたうひめうた)", which roughly means... uh... probably something along the lines of "The Princess's Song That Gives Praise To All Creation."

Well recently the tool has started lagging for me now as well.  I really have no idea what's causing it.

Vs my friend in Cali:
If we use the tool, we get delay 4 with ping at around 100 and then spikes of high 100s- high 200s.  If we don't use the tool, there are no spikes with delay 5; ping of ~80-90.  If my friend uses the tool and I don't, we get slight spikes up to low 100s with delay 5.  If I use it and he doesn't, we get the big spikes and high ping with delay 4.

EDIT: I was hosting all three times (direct host).  I just tried against someone else and there's no lag spikes at all.  This just seems really weird because when I played with my friend around a month ago, we had no problems with the tool and it ran fine.  It was only recently it started giving us lag spikes.

That shouldn't happen, the tool does not touch ping calculation at all. It only resets the delay thresholds. If you get higher ping when using the tool, the only reason I could think of, is your PC being unable to run MBAACC at a decent speed when locked to a single core. Try setting the setAffinity option in mbaacctool.ini file to 0.

Anyhow, I have just made mbaacctool more configurable. You can now enable/disable each bit of functionality on its own in mbaacctool.ini, so you can e.g. have key rebinding without the delay tweak, if you want that for some reason: mbaacctool-generic-3 (http://www.mediafire.com/?ycne87d18ydyrfw)

If by they you mean FB/Ecole, that's a good question. The netplay might not seem broken to them, considering Japan's infrastructure. If netplay from other non-GGPO/rollback based fighters is any indication, they can slide by with crappy netcode as long as their internet is fast enough.

As far as I can see, an A+B button doesn't exist for keyboard control, so it would be non-trivial to add.

well, one anon a guy called akihafag wrote a trainer that unlocks the 3 hidden stages, as well as adds g-akiha and dust of osiris to the select screen.

doesn't change ryogi's stage music back to what it should be though, maybe in some future version.

http://www.mediafire.com/?g3xwplyan19okku

edit: updated. new version fixes the g-akiha crashes for some people and restores ryogi's original theme music on her stage.

next one will supposedly unlock boss type characters as well (eclipse mode characters) if the guy can fix the problem with g-akiha crashes, probably related to the eclipse mode.

Awesome! It even works online when both people enable it.
Is there a new version that works with 1.2?

Heys guys, is there any way to choose the delay so far? I can netplay with 3 out of 10 people. I'm pretty sure other 5 out of these 10 I can't play because ping is too low (?? yes...). I can play with most of people who lives far, but none who lives close... The game picks a too low delay because of the low ping, and gives only a small margin for variation and those little variations fuck things.. If the delay were a little higher, the variations wouldnt affect that much I think. When the guys lives far it seems the margin for variation is bigger: delay is usually higher, but no command-eater lags, and it's playable. A way to choose the delay would be godsent.

The mbaacctool-generic-3 posted by ALNo23 higher up on this page allows you to set the ping threshold for each individual delay value, so you could increase those a little bit and see if that helps.

Can you run the game normally?  Taking a picture of the pop-up may help us figure out the problem.
Also, check the tool's config and make sure it's using the .exe file you want it to use, if that applies to you.

: Meseki March 10, 2012, 12:04:25 PM
Sorry for the double post, but since this is completely unrelated...
I just found out that the game does seem to keep track of character usage, even though it doesn't show usage percentages or anything in-game like MBAC PC and MBAA PS2 (and it does not seem to keep track of best combo/damage, but does have enough room for it). 

Since it's not viewable in-game, you have to use a hex editor on System\_AAPlayData.dat.  If I'm correct, the amount of times a specific character has been used by a player (rematches don't seem to count spearately) is at the address 0x18 + 0x10 * [hexadecimal character number].  I don't know all the character numbers (and don't want to try figuring out), but I think I have an idea of some (though they could be wrong):

0x00: Sion
0x01: Arcueid (possibly correct)
0x02: Ciel (possibly correct)
0x03: Akiha
0x04: Hisui and Kohaku
0x05: Hisui
0x06: Kohaku (likely correct)
0x07: Tohno Shiki (confirmed)
0x08: Miyako (confirmed)
0x0B: Sion Tatari (likely correct)
0x14: Aoko? (haven't used that many other characters too much, and 21st character does make sense)
0x1C: Ryougi Shiki (likely correct, but doesn't match up with how I figured out the first few)

There's probably an easier and/or more accurate way to figure out, but I mostly used the high score rankings, since they're in the same file (character used[?] is at 0x2B0 + 0x20 * [record number from 0]).  However, it said Ryougi Shiki was character 0x21 when there isn't even that many playable characters.

Also, it has the space to record 16 bytes of character uses, which would be (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 ^ 2) - 1 uses of a character, though I don't know if it's programmed to be able to actually record that many, considering that typical calculator programs can't even show that number without scientific notation.
: Re: The MB:AA:CC:PC thread: v.1.2 out!
: ALNo23 March 12, 2012, 09:45:05 AM
Interesting. And that list looks quite familiar. Here's a thing from the mbcaster code (reformatted):
:
0x00: Sion
0x01: Arcueid
0x02: Ciel
0x03: Akiha
0x04: Hisui and Kohaku
0x05: Hisui
0x06: Kohaku
0x07: Shiki
0x08: Miyako
0x09: Warakia
0x0A: Nrvnqsr
0x0B: V.Sion
0x0C: Warcueid
0x0D: V.Akiha
0x0E: M.Hisui
0x0F: Nanaya
0x11: Satsuki
0x12: Len
0x14: Neco-Arc
0x16: Aoko
0x17: W.Len
0x18: Kouma
0x19: Neco-Arc Chaos
Of course, the new characters are missing.

- Game would sometimes bug out during matching mode making it impossible to progress. This has been dealt with.

So, I was talking about graphics these days. I don't really care much about it, but I know Melty Blood's animation is the best in the fighting genre, I just don't know exactly how much images we have per character moon. In MBAC Hisui had 1018, but she was the only char I got acess to the sprites. In MBAACC it seems animation improved considerably and chars got more moves, so I'm guessing a number between 1200 and 1500 per character. Anyone here have the sprites to tell me with precision or give me the download link?
