Customizable MMBN: Custom Navi Summoning Screens
Jenin.exe Created by Jace
JewelMan.exe Created by Diamond
SplashWoman.exe Created by Maxcen
Here are some screens from the upcoming Update 11 with the submitted Custom Navis from Jace, Diamond, and Maxcen
Update 11 should be out by tomorrow or Wednesday. I didn’t expect XML integration to take as long as it did so it set me off about a day. However, with that out of the way I can add in damaging and then start working on the Built-In Customizer. This way you’ll be able to easily add in and test your creations on your own.
Edit: Update 11 is out! This is update demonstrates summoning of the Navis. They don’t actually do any attacks, but it just shows the motion and the scripts of how it’d happen. I’m working on the Customizer so you all can be able to add and test your navis yourself this week and the next.
Have Twitter? You can follow my updates there as well.
If you’re curious about what goes on between official updates, you can follow my twitter.
Sometimes updates take awhile to do, or the process isn’t exactly an exciting one to write a full post about 
. For these, I write small status updates on my twitter, which you can follow or read here.
You should see a couple of updates there everyday…except probably Fridays. I try to keep that as a relaxing day!
Update: You can actually now see mini updates at the top of the page from my twitter. This way you don’t have to go to two pages to catch the latest update.
Need Assistance: Text Ripping
I need assisstance for ripping the chip name display from the MMBN games
I just remembered that these letters haven’t been ripped yet. What I need are the letters that display on screen with the chip name in the bottom left corner. It’s also displayed when using a time-stopping chip.
If anyone is open to help out, drop a message. I’ll probably start ripping many myself during next week.
NetEntities (Navis, Attacks) – XML design so far…
This is how the Net Entity XML Design is so far
You’ll have the option to either create/edit the XML by hand or use the Customizable MMBN to easily do it for you. You can look over these to see what the current scripts are and how they are formatted.
Note that there are some errors that I haven’t corrected out of some of the values (such as script numbers and such). This is just meant to show off the format for those interested.
CMMBN Aim for this week: HP, Damaging, XML, Customizing
For the week of March 1 – 7
- Add HP Displayers into the system. Must be open to customization, and NetEntites should be able to have multiple Displayers attach to them.
- Add Damaging scripts. These will be handled by a Check script, which should allow more flexibility
- Export customizable data to XML. This is where the magic is.
- Start building the customization aspects. A GUI makes customization much easier .
I got hammered with work at the later half of the week, thats why you didn’t get much updates. I’ll still be trying to update everyday though.
