Re: Path of Shadow Dancer - NOW WITH UPDATE 2.04

Regarding that patch.
How come I couldn't find any info on the stage_pit property?
How/where did that get discovered? It's certainly not in the patch notes.

If the file is present, you hop back up and only lose some life instead of die. Handy.

I know that, it's bloody obvious. I was asking where the information was.
I've wasted so much time looking if there was a way. Where and how did the information get learned for that file, because I couldn't get a trace of it.

lol

Magic!

I made that discovery myself thanks to the last version of Cutscene Maker, it creates a pit file when you set you level to have SOR3 pit property, that's how I found out.
But that's funny because I was sure it was something everyone was aware of lately.
That tool helped me a lot anyway! Smile

The download for it was dead back when I tried to get it, and turns out I was passed a version without that function, so I could never discover it that way, and I'm sure that also applies to anyone else stuck with an outdated version because of dead links. ;_;

So this brings me to thanking you for bringing this to light. I finally have all the tools I need to update the SoR3 mod. Very Happy

**iceweb38** Sat Nov 14, 2015 11:25 pm

So sorry I didn't share the tip earlier then!
Glad to help you out one way or another Wink

Spoiler:

Stage 7g of patch 2.02 a blaze fails to drop down, so i cannot continue... (at the end)

By the way I really like this mod, Stage 5c IS GREAT! (the forest on fire)
I also really like 5g (The caves)

Cool. Will you be doing two routes, one for SoR3 and one for BKIII, similar to your first two SoR mods?

I will split the difficulty to an extent.
But I'm certainly not making Baby Knuckle III: The Mod Where All Difficulties Are Easy Mode, and certainly not for you.

**Charco** Sun Nov 15, 2015 12:56 pm

Excuse me?! What's with your attitude? I just asked a question. No need to be so aggressive and rude.

Guest Sun Nov 15, 2015 1:28 pm

@Charco: There's a 'they made some mistakes and made new palettes so it's 100% shit' mindset, which is horribly hypocritical when you see the number of mistakes, bugs, and paletting we have in V5, which is clearly awesome to those same people. My response may've been excessive for the specific question, I apologise. I was tagging a separate issue on, which I have some aggression regarding because the hypocrisy is so damn stupid.
I can't stand hypocritical chucklefucks, you know? Very Happy

**Charco** Sun Nov 15, 2015 1:44 pm

Okay...

I was talking about the routes/stage graphics/story/enemy versions as opposed to difficulty anway. Let's move on so.

**Don Vecta** Sun Nov 15, 2015 2:46 pm

okay, so decided to do a second run, grit my teeth and bear the damn maze... I solved it, (found the unlockables, BTW) moved on and... stage 7, right at the end of stage 7-1, game breaker. Seems an enemy is stuck or something. Won't let me continue.

Another video lost. Sad

EDIT: Buuuut.... recorded the Extra mods. Very Happy

BTW, in the level of the cargo plane door open, the air effect scrolling now can be sped up up to 20 to add speed to the drag.

**iceweb38** Sun Nov 15, 2015 6:34 pm

I have no idea what happened with stage 7g, fuck!
I hope you guys still got your autosave for the mod.

So stage 7b doesn't have that problem?

Congrats on beating the maze! ^^
And I love those 2 videos! Damn it would have been nice to watch an entire playthrough of the main thing by you.

**iceweb38** Sun Nov 15, 2015 7:27 pm

there is no stuck ennemies, I just tested the stage with Max.

Can you please make sure you haven't forgotten anything?
Have a look at this vid for reference:

**Charco** Sun Nov 15, 2015 7:55 pm

There is something just so damn awesome about those Megadrive graphics and music. Sorr just fits in so well.

**iceweb38** Sun Nov 15, 2015 8:44 pm

That's because Revenge of Shinobi was made by Ancient!
You just don't have the same feeling of quality while playing Shadow Dancer or Shinobi III (don't get me wrong, they're both awesome games too)

Revenge of Shinobi is my favorite too, but Shadow Dancer (Mega Drive port) is the one that have a special place in my heart. It has some epicness moment.

Thank you for updating the mod by the way.

Have a look at this vid for reference:

For me the black blaze can be seen trying to jump into the stage at the top of the screen then disappears, i switched on the helicopter feature and even then she cannot be seen to be killed... the screen does not give me the [go] as she has not been killed so i get stuck. The part at the end where the box is, before the two ninjas at the end of that scene.

**Don Vecta** Mon Nov 16, 2015 12:55 pm

^This.

Yeah, it seems to be a judo that drops.

**iceweb38** Mon Nov 16, 2015 6:29 pm

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
Here the patch 2.03

Downloaded. Will do a recorded run some time tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

**iceweb38** Sat Dec 19, 2015 10:13 pm

A month later....new update!

https://mega.nz/#!JA0nCAiL!8rS-ZC-NZIqehivsXNysp-14t1vLmEDcoy6YvcEhH_o

Playing CajNatalie's SOR2 recreation mod made me realize I didn't care at all about the windows reflection, which make the scenes so prettier! So I decided to include this effect into my mod at last!

Spoiler:

I think this is going to be the last update for that mod, unless someone finds something to fix or a new discovery is made.

CANCELATED? Me? no way!

I'm glad to announce instead that Path of Shadow Dancer is finally ready for release.

Started last year, Path of Shadow Dancer is a mod that serves as a tribute to the Megadrive/Genesis Shinobi series with stages from those games mixed with new stages to make a fitting adventure for our 6 favorites brawlers.
Many kind of stages are awaiting you as well as complex platforming parts.

https://2img.net/r/hpimg11/pics/155839bonusstage.png

- Two possible paths in the game, with different stages and challenges.
- One ending only.
- Alternate soundtrack inside the game for those who are interested.
- Police not available.
- One stage will be a maze. Each room features up to 3 doors. Some are filled with traps as well.
- Extra lives are hidden in the SOR2/3 fashion way.
- Bonus rounds every 2 stages. You'll be explained what to do at the beginning. They are not canon in the story of this mod.
- There are unlockable bonus stages in the Extra archive. In the very same way than Way of Warrior, the mod produced by thenomad, you need to find a password in the game. You cannot miss the password no matter which path you took on stage 3. I may give some clues later if nobody figures that out.
- Platforming stages are Max-doable. But keep in mind some stages and in particular the port area will be harder to progress through with the likes of Max and Axel who are lacking in jumping skills.
- Most importantly, RUN MUST BE ENABLED or you will not be able to complete some stages.

- In the maze, in some rooms, you'll see doors but you won't be able to use them immediately until you've cleared the room. Except for the room with the crushers, every room with 3 doors features a free camera that is available once you've reached the locked camera (the locked camera is usually on the last door). Before and after beating every ennemy in the room, the camera will be then free but be very careful coz once you cross the part that was locked by the camera (and that will generally lead to a wall), you'll be forced to take the last door. Hope this'll clear things up.

The directions are ment for the patch version, but I think it should work for the unpatched as well. The maze agitated me so much that I felt it should have been completely removed, but now that i'm past it I can go on.
