The Super Smash Bros. Roster Maker (Version 3.0 Available!!!)

[UberPyro64]

A bit more space as well as copying and pasting a huge group at once so if you need room for something you can copy things and delete them but then paste them back when you're done. Makes things easier.

What do you mean by more space? More space as in more places to put characters?

For copying and pasting a group, I don't know how I could make that work out though. I could make something which moves all the roster to the left, right, top or bottom. Would that be still work as you want or not? I'm not sure I get what you mean.

 

[Oasis_S]

Maybe less "copy and paste" and more "draw a box?" Someting that allows you to select a group of icons to move around instead of moving them one by one.

Also, maybe an auto-organize feature.

I think this is something that would be hard to implement. One way around it, like I mentioned, would be to be able to move the whole roster upward, downward or sideways.

Also, maybe an auto-organize feature.

Auto-organize the characters by series for example?

 

[Oasis_S]

YEP. So all the Mario characters would be in one group, etc. Maybe an option to have them grouped vertically or horizontally. At the same time, you'd have to make it so the roster would always be... SQUARED UP. So maybe there would also need to be an option to have a roster oriented either wider or taller.

Oh, what about a way to "switch" icons? So maybe you want Zelda and Link to swap spots on the roster, so when you put Link over Zelda, instead of Link's icons deleting Zelda's, they just swap places?

Great ideas, taking notes of them. Would being able to move the roster in all four directions be something that could work instead of moving them by group, though?

 

[Oasis_S]

Being able to select a group to move would be best, but moving the entire roster may have its own uses.

That would work. I just didn't know how to explain it.

 

[Jakor]

Ok. Would you want to have more space as in additional rows or columns to put characters?

 

[UberPyro64]

I was thinking 15x15 rather than 10x15. Easier to move things around. Also I can't scroll down and can't see the few bottom buttons. Maybe that's just me though.

 

[Jakor]

Well, I've already had my fair share of problems with screen sizes and stuff. I'll try to find an alternate solution to that.

 

[UberPyro64]

Well regardless here is the roster I made:

Nevermind Imageshack removed it XD

 

[Jakor]

The version 3.0 of the Roster Maker has now surpassed the version 2.0 in terms of downloads! It took only a week for the third version to reach over 250 downloads while the second version took more than a month to do so. Thank you to everyone who downloaded and tried it!

More feedback would be appreciated though. I want to know mainly what you think about the new features. Are they: Useless? Fun? Interesting?

 

[CalvinWars]

I should probably be taking this up with Oasis, but I would love an icon for Generation 6 of Pokemon. Then I won't have to keep putting stupid Zoroark in my rosters.

 

[Jakor]

Wow! The number of total downloads just reached over 500 today! Some work has been done so far, but I just want to let everyone know that I won't release the 4th version until I also have a considerable amount of new characters to add, as well as enough new features to make it worth downloading.

 

[Johnizdabombz]

This is great, I love it. But just wondering, can you be so kind to as, add Chaos and E-102 Gamma from 'Sonic Adventure', Haxorus from 'Pokemon Black and White', Darkri from 'Pokemon Diamond and Pearl', Frank West from 'Deadrising: Off the Records' and Master Chief from 'Halo 3', if you did it would make this program better than it alredy is.

I will take note of these requests. Meanwhile, you can always do your own icons because it's going to take some time before I release the 4th version.

 

[MasterGorf]

oh wow this is really cool! great job!

Make sure you name your icon with the prefix "Icon" like the others, and after that when you start the program, click on "Add new character icons" from the menu bar at the top.

 

[TheJohnMonster]

I'm going to need a change of pants.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What do you think?

 

[Jakor]

What do you think?

I'm guessing you want to have a new version soon?

 

[Gene]

I need some help please. I have a Mac, and downloaded the program but I don't know how to get the exe file working. I tried WineBottler but it didn't work because Java. I already know I'm doing something wrong and it shouldn't be this complicated.

Well, it's a little tricky for Mac users, but you can get it to work however. Here is how to do it, some instructions that will be included in the upcoming "Readme" files from now on:

You can change folders in the terminal by using the "cd" command, here are some examples:
To go into a folder: cd folderName
To go to the upper folder: cd ..

You can also use the following command to see the files and folders in the current directory:
See the files in current directory: ls

I've tried this for a bit, and still no luck....

What part are you having trouble with?

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

This is a fantastic program. Here's my roster:

The five extra randoms are placeholders for eventual new franchises or if I decide to add other characters. I'm currently deciding what three Pokemon N should have. I'm thinking about using Zoroark, Archeops and Vanilluxe. If I do decide to go with Zoroark, Lucario will replace his spot. I was very surprised I only had to create three (once I finish N's icon with with his Pokemon) icons myself. Feel free to use them in the next version if you'd like. Again, great job!

 

[Gene]

I'm having trouble with Terminal. I really don't know how to work it. But I'm gonna try it again later today.

Thank you! There is a possibility that I might use your icons.

EDIT: Actually, from this moment on, if anyone has custom icons of their own, post them in this thread and there is a strong possibility I might add them to the Roster Maker!

If you throw me the icon without anyone in it, I'm sure I can make a bunch of good ones.

I'll put the names on, if you tell me what the font is. I'm not building the names though

 

[Jakor]

Well, I don't know the font, maybe you should ask Oasis. As for myself, I usually just put them together by copy and paste from the template. Although it's true it can be a bit tedious.

 

[Shorts]

That's ridiculous, I'll ask Oasis and report back.

He did it pixel by pixel, and I refuse to do that. So, use mine all you want, but I REFUSE to do the naming.
