Part 2 and 3 have some more advanced shit, but all I needed was part 1 to figure out how to calculate the position and size of the thingys, I then added the multiple icons by putting some "if"s:
if (i=1) { add one of them, and make them say "part name" on roll over }
if (i=2) { add another one of them, and make them say "part name" on roll over }
inside the for loop ;)
the ifs ruin the function of the for loop, but I still need the "for" to insert all icons all at once ;)

sorry for double post
I just spent 4 hours working on this shit right here, and it turned out how I wanted it to be, so no more computer for me today, anyways:
possible scene select wip

Really? I've never experienced any troubles of the kind

Don't have the scene selection navigated by jumping around and selecting,

I'm kinda facing a dillemma right now: I dont want the classic, simple scene select, but the way I have it so far seems too complicated and slow

or if you do want to do it that way, give people the option to just click the scene they want. Other from that, looks pretty shnazzy.

Thanks, I've just had an idea, right now I'm reinstalling Windows, and then I'll have to install flash, but in two days I'll have a wip ;)

@fig: awesome, thanks!
new menu wip, with possible scene select wip: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/a7c2 c12dd8aa0b72678337652c0b404d
still gotta add vcam, get high quality shots, and make a bg, that is, if we use this scene select (which I honestly quite like)

http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/0eb6 2862644760bdc4fbc542195d7b8b
This is an audio piece by RLFHOG3, written by Smuge62
It's a part idea for paint kirby, smuge lost its fla, and left the collab, but still would like to see it animated, if you'd like more info on how it would look like or the hi-qual audio file, pm Smuge62 right here on ng
So if you're out of ideas, or would like a better one, take a look into it
(Note: In it, kirby is the presenter, and waddle dee is the one having to put up with all that painting)

I dunno, credits can only be done once we are all finished, scene select can only be finished when we are all finished as well, for those I'm either going with something really simple I already got set up, or I'll be using the little platformer (If we go with that, you could try doing a scene select bg), FFEX wants to do the main menu BG and the bios GUI (though he hasnt started working on the latter, so you could contact him and do that), that leaves the preloader, which ffex already said he'll do, but again, you could contact him ;)

Main Menu: 100%
Main Menu BG: 30%
Bios BG: 100%
Bios Icons: 25% (send then in people!)
Bios Gui: 0%
Bios info: 25% (again, send them in)
Scene select: 0%
Credits: 0%
Preloader: 0%

TMM22 is finishin up animal (few days)
FFEX should be finishing freeze (one week?)
Once freeze is done, the menu bg and the bios Gui should get finished in one week as well...
Masa may do a new part (1-2 weeks)
Scott will start I think after christmas or something like that (1-2 weeks)
VB may do a new, better part (0-2 weeks (0 because of the may))

It seems that in 3 weeks all flas will be then with ffex, the main menu and bios should have been already finished, ffex should do the credits and the preloader while I would get cracking with the scene select, that should take a week and in 5 weeks this baby should be out

Also from the 12th to the 27th I'll be traveling with little, or non-existent internet acces, for that, I shall actually do the scene select earlier, and thats about it!
So yeah late january release!

then get cracking on that
also...
lolwut

just look at all the collabs the guy has been a part of :O
I won't be clicking any of them, but holy shit...
and that stuff gets out in the portal...

awesomeness, make sure to show us previews and ur bios ;)
@ffex: hows freeze coming along? I'll start work on the scene select...

bios wip
right now I only have oclabs icon, but I should have more soon, and by the time I got them all, the little "GUI" should be up
also, I'm thinking about dropping the little bubble animation, it just gets messy with the button...

Thanks for the bios everyone, also, I forgot to say that, flash 8 format please :P
if you got cs4, make it cs3 and I believe ffex has that, so he can gimme the flash 8
oops, should have said that before, pretty disappointing to get two unexpected file formats in a row D:

Everyone must also send a small 85x85 icon of their part, like this one:
http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/4f5b b68d74fc56a5e9670e62cd5e8831
I'd rather you'd make the icon the symbol of your ability rather than kirby with it, but It can be that too...

@smuge: its slightly complicated, but I'll try to add that in
@gustavos: oh snap! O wait, fffuuuuuuuu-
@ikool: thanks and Good luck with ur christmas flash!
@tmm22: really? lol, well, looking forward to ur part!

New rules and stuff, tl;dr in bold ;)

We got permission from VintageBro and flashbound18 to use their collab's name.
What are we gonna do?
Your skit has to be about Kirby and one of his abilities. Keep in mind that the ability must play the biggest role. Your whole part must revolve around Kirby and his ability. Your skit can have action, humor, whatever you want. We're mostly aiming for humor here so try to fit a joke in there. Also, we're trying to top the Kirby Collab so try to make your jokes funny. If they aren't, we may ask you to change it.
The Leaders
The Collab will be lead by FlashfireEX and JPB. You can call us FFEX and, well, JPB for short. VintageBro is the co-leader. You can call him VB. If you have any questions you don't want to ask in this thread, PM us.
Specs
Your part must be 10 - 60 seconds long.
The screen size will be standard, so 550x400.
Animate at 24 fps.
Your default background must be white, but you can make your own (well we hope you do)
Organize your movieclips putting them all in a folder.
Rules
If you don't have any submissions that are made in 2010, you have to give a sample of your work so we can check if you're qualified for the Collab.
Before you start animating your part, please apply for the collab and post your script, for criticism and improvement.
We are taking care of the menu, but any ideas and help from fellow collabers is appreciated.
Your "joinage" and your parts must be approved by one of the leaders first.
Violence is allowed, but don't make it too much. We want to keep it rated T.
Nudity is not allowed, aside from Kirby who's naturally naked.
No overused jokes or any memes. Light memes MAY be accepted but you need permission.
Sprites are allowed, but we're trying to keep no more than 1/4 sprited.
"Brawl" Abilities do not count!
If you're leaving the collab, you have to mention it. Don't leave without warning us.
If you want to contact us with MSN or Skype, send a PM to FlashfireEX for the info.
Show us updates of your parts regularly, so we can see you're working on it.
Try to stay active in the thread so we don't have to assume you're gone or dead.
Once your done with your part, send FlashFireEX the fla in a pm including a short comment about your part.
The co-authors will be determined depending on part quality and forum activity. The leaders will automatically be co-authored. We don't want anybody to whine about this.
There is no current deadline, production on the menu has started however, and as soon as its done (pretty soon...), ya'll shall be given a small deadline (2 weeks) for completing at least half of your part, only those who have completed more than half of their parts shall receive 2 more weeks to work on their parts. NO EXCEPTIONS.
This allows everyone to finish their parts in time, while we can finish the menu/credits with your bios and small snapshots of your finished or non-finished parts for the scene selection, etc., allowing for a quick submission.

bios wip
based on: kirby squeak squad
Hmm... I'm not too fond of the bubble, but its nice, but I'm having a hard time adding the stars on kirbys inside, I don't wanna trace them, but every time I do them, they look like shit...
also, could everyone please send me a little "icon" of their favorite part? (example: jfig would send me the cook pot)

@eastbeast: I suppose you were talking with me (???)
If yes, yes, flashfire is making a bg ;)

I proudly present to you all
my masterpiece :D
the enter door animations won't be "in engine", they'll be showing up once I have a bg ;)

Feedback? Suggestions?

Don't add useless stuff, we aren't making a game. Only thing I could see adding is animations for when he enters the doors instead of skipping right to the next screen. Other from that minor addition, it looks spectacular.

yup, I added an enter door anim too ;)
@eastbeast: I dunno... I really like the platformer, and I am thinking about having a warpstar in it, I like your idea, but I cant find a good way to implement it, I don't wanna destroy the menu I just did :P
*starts brainstorming session*

IMPORTANT NOTICE
We'll be soon posting the new thread rules, but we want to do that on the first post of the next page, so please, if the reply count is equal to 1079, do not post!

thanks in advance,
--JPB

upload the fla to ng dump or to www.filedropper.com or some place like that and pm ffex the link ;)

Thats awesome!
I love the run/jump/kill from 4 to 10 and the last kill, great job
when you're sending it, make sure to include a small comment about your part ;)
parts list updated!

I think it'd be rather easier to use emails then, you can check when the email was sent and all
on a side note, I really wanted to be a part of this, but I think I'll drop out, sorry :(

first, :D
secondly, so will they be on the same day, just released separately, or will they be on separate days as well?

Well, FFEX is already doing a bg, but I was thinking about having a false wall with a warpstar that would lead you somewhere, and a simple alternate menu sounds great, althoguh, are you talking about dreamland 1? Could you show me a pic or a video of what you are talking about?

Main Menu (Wippity Wippity WIP)
Just need a BG, and done (kinda)
Gotta make a better crouch too...
I could add run and other shit like that, but I guess its kinda useless, and I'm totally staying away from the double/triple/etc.-jumps, I'd need 3 jump animations (normal, first d-jump(w/ inhale), triple/etc.-jump) and 2 "exhale" animations (mid-air, and on ground) plus i'd need to code all that in D:
Feedback? Suggestions?

hm... some of it doesnt seem very water-y, and some of it doesnt seem that heavy, but I liked the result

I havent, but looking at some videos, I can't see it working well as the main menu, but it sounds perfect for bios/scene select, I mean, just think about it

after a long talk with FFEX, I'm now a leader, he's still a leader, and VB is a co-leader
A new thread shall be made in the next 2-3 days
@psychofig: I'm not telling you to do the menu, but i'd like to hear your idea for it, if its fitting to kirby and of course good, I could give it a try, and even you could help with it, but we'll need an idea that fits with "kirby", something "kirby" themed ;)
although, we already had an idea for a little platformer, where I would do the art, I really like the idea, but I'd like to see other ideas first

Ahem, And thats why I could possibly create a new thread, send out lots of recruitment pm's, etc., I would put all my efforts into this baby cuz I care about it, if we are gonna stay with a thread pulsing negativity, of course we'll have no one joining...
according to this
http://jpb.newgrounds.com/news/post/4126 54
we still have 13 parts, the last one had 24, the last one was 15 minutes long, most collabs are 4 minutes long...
we're a lot closer to our goal than you'd think..., we're still far, but close...

I don't care how far this has sank, just get your shit together everyone, flashfire, I'd like your go on taking this collab on my hands, I'd need a good co-organizer, but I can handle the first few days alone, maybe I could create a new thread and all, flashfire, if you're ok with this, please send me a few zips with parts, menus and watever you have...
