LF2.5: Racing Towards a Release

I am almost done with LF2.5. Over the past few days I have skinned, hacked, and modified every aspect of the game.

However, I still have a few things on my agenda:

- Figure out which extra (non LF2/CE) characters to add. There are currently 20 open slots and I want to fill them with the best characters possible.
- Work a little on backgrounds and items.
- Edit the stages. I'm working on making two stages of my own: a 1-vs-1 Mortal Kombat style stage, and a medieval stage with knights and dragons.
- Skin it up a little more. Some aspects of the game do not look so good.
- Rewrite the readme. I want to be especially careful to give credits to everyone who contributed characters/items/backgrounds/skins/support.
- Test, test, test.

Basically, I want the game to be perfect. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I am giving a release date!! I don't want to rush, but I don't want this to take up my whole summer either, so the date I am giving is JULY 25. Mark your calendars! =)

And lemme post some pics of how the game's going:

My calendar has been marked.

By the way, Zeus would be a good character to add. Just that you need to add mana costs to his moves.

here's my current list of possible chars:

New Chars
---------
Electro (8)
Zeus* (7)
Jake (4)
Tera (4)
Nieo* (4)

Modified Chars
--------------
Dark (3)

For Fun
-------
Stickman (1)
Dao (4)
Anakin (3)

Computer
--------
BanditZ (KnightPack) (1)
DragonKnight (2)

* - modify (0 MP attacks)

Open Slots: 20-22


The problem with Zeus is that I have to modify not 1, but 5 of his attacks, so that's a lot of work on my end. Plus, he takes up a whopping 7 slots. Is it worth it?

how do you put the new characters in the game

how do you insert the characters into the game

All characters should come with readmes - simply copy the files into your LF2 or LF2.5 directory and follow the instructions on the readme, which will involve modifying the data/data.txt file. Keep in mind LF2.5 uses 100% of available data slots, so for every data row that you add, you will have to remove one.
