Version 1.2 of Battle High 3 MerFight is live!

With this version, both Clamilton and Jiro are playable!  (And a slight -- VERY slight -- Octonia buff)

Thanks for your support!

Version 1.1.0 with Clamilton is live!

For this version, Clamilton will be free DLC with Jiro coming soon!

New version of MerFight is live with a preview of Clamilton until June 3rd, 2024.

MerFight now has a demo!

• It is like the main game with...
• Online
• Versus
• Training
• Tutorials

Only 4 characters will be playable at a time, and those available are switched monthly.

Thanks for the reply!

Sorry for the delayed response, but when you say "Android version," do you mean for phones or just for Android consoles?  Would you want mobile input or would you still use a controller?

Hi,

If you've used this tool and it has worked in a version of 3ds max greater than 2016, please let me know.  I would like to make sure it has at least one use case in greater versions.

Thanks!

Hi, I am so sorry for the delayed response.  Can you message me or email me through support@mattrifiedgames.com with this request and just explain a little more of what you are looking for?

Thanks!

Matt

Version 0.43 of MerFight is live!

Changes Include:

• Most unsafe attacks are less safe now by about 3-6 frames.
• Damage for all supers has been lowered to about 140 on average, depending on how easy it can be combo'd to/from.
• Scaling system revamped, attacks do about 10% each (some divided if hit multiple times)
• Pop Cancels only reward a 10% scaling reduction instead of 50%.
• Removed Strike's air throw specials (did anyone ever use them?) (Anti-air, Shark Catcher is still there.)
• No tutorial should softlock now (tho some may need to have their text updated.)
• Added Depth of Field and Color Grading to environment post-processing -- please let me know if you encounter performance issues with these.
• Reversals can only be performed during the first 15 frames of getup. You cannot (or should not be able to) cancel reversals into supers.
• Drargos's CHP hurtbox's adjusted
• Naeco's CHP hurtbox's adjusted
• Enjellique should no longer be able to Jellspear from jump instantly and repeatedly -- land has frames now.
• When a controller is disconnected, players will have 30 seconds to connect a new controller or the game will reload to the splashscreen.
• Drargos's QCF+KK super now has a new ender; if up is held before the final hit, he'll do a launching kick that is useful for combo'ing in the corner.

There should be a finger helper 0.  You have finger helper r 1 assigned multiple times which is most likely causing you issues.  If you are still having issues, feel free to attach the .fbx file here or email it to support@mattrifiedgames.com

Hi,

Somehow you assigned one of the right side helpers to the left.  I circled it here in this image:

As for the head, the position of you head helper will help with that.

Let me know if that works for you.

Hi Alida13,

Looking at your list, you have CC_Base_L_Thigh assigned for both Thighs.  The right thigh should be paired with CC_Base_R_Thigh like the calf and foot, etc.

Hope that helps!

Matt

Version 0.40.0 of MerFight is live.

You can read about the latest changes here:  https://www.merfight.com/patch-notes.html

Here's a video detailing some of the changes:

Version 4.0 is live.  

You can still access version 3 as that may be better for some users still.  Documentation for version 4 can be found here.

Tiny, tiny update this time:

Lowered online input delay from 4 to 2.  Long-term goal is to allow players to set the delay they want.

Attempt at clearing server cache to prevent lag issues during long, online sets.

Minor visual changes to Drargos and Rho's stages.

New build is live.  Here's a list of the changes:

General
Throw break now plays a new visual effect when occurring.
Throw breaks window has been increased from 4 to 8.
Block VFX has been updated.
Reversals can no longer be pop canceled.
All stages have been updated slightly, but are not anywhere near finished yet.

Drargos
Drargos's projectiles now have a temporary "starfish" in them to prevent them from disappearing on darker stages.
Drargos's projectile now play an SFX after reflecting off walls.

Arctina
Both versions of Arctic Rising now last longer.
HP and CHK are now 5 frames longer cooldown.

Version 0.35.0

Bugs

Fixed a bug regarding blocking ending too early and guard pops not working properly.

Mechanic Changes

Guard Pops have been replaced with Pop Rolls (HP+HK) and Pop Pushes(LP+LK). Pop Rolls will ALWAYS roll the character forward, and Pop Pushes will always push the opponent away from the player.
Lenient Input can now be disabled from the Button Config screen.

STAGES

All stages are now selectable; however, these are all WORKS IN PROGRESS and will be improved by end of August.

Atlas

Atlas can now only enter Final Punishment from Final Blessing, but can do so by simply pressing LP+HP.
If Atlas enters Final Blessing and a healing beam is active, it will move to Atlas instead.

Here's a short video showing some of these changes:

Made a slight update, version 0.34.3.  The game should be able to run on 32-bit systems, but more importantly, testing some online optimizations.

Version 0.34.2

Training Mode

Players who do not have Back/Select/Rightsticks can now reset in training mode by double-tapping their pause or start button.

For recording training mode actions, players without the previously mentioned buttons can press and hold right or left shift on their keyboard to begin / end recording.

Version 0.34.1

General

All characters officially have voice over in game! Note, all VO needs cleaning, balancing, etc.

Reversals can now be performed during wake-up regardless if wiped out previously; however, you cannot quick rise or roll when in a hard knockdown state. This is explained the Defense II tutorial.

You cannot perform reversals while rolling from wakeup.

Fixed bug with captions not being displayed properly sometimes.

All attacks that cause hard knockdown show the Wipeout pop-up now.

Fixed a few bugs making sure all reversals have the same number of i. frames on start-up; reduced that number from 12 to 8 frames.

Fixed a bug in which multiple supers were canceled at the same time.

In attempt to address a training mode soft-lock bug, players can no longer pause when recording opponent behaviours. Pausing can be resumed when recording is finished.

Sped up the time between recorded actions being played back.

Characters with armor (Gamma, Atlas, Arctina, Enjellique, Rho) will have a metallic effect applied when armor is active.

Characters will flash light green when recovering in the air.

Matches start 2 seconds after "Lap #" is displayed instead of 1.5 to reduce the amount of time "Dive In" obscures the screen on round start.

Odon

Odon can perform Mantis Counterfeit by pressing LK or HK during Mantis Punch or Mantis Upper; charge {4} to {6}+LK/HK has been removed.

New costume color

Drargos

Change to Standing HK animation -- same frame data and still puts Drargos in an airborne state.

When performing Mombasae Hang, Antennata is resummed behind Drargos.

When performed in the air, the angles of Radiata Sphere have been changed. LP is more horizontal; HP is more vertical now.

Naeco & Gamma

New costume colors

Atlas

CHK does not launch as high, so some special cancels don't work anymore.

Arctina

Arctina has new anti-air moves, Rebuttal ({2}{3}{6}+LK) and Balanced Rebuttal ({2}{3}{6}+HK), which are used as her reversals.

Herald Combination has changed drastically.

Increased the number of armored frames for Frozen Defense.

Octonia

Octoga Bridge and Octoga Flip can be performed using Charge {2}, {8}+LK or HK respectively. These are also her reversals, replacing Octolariat.

Tentacle Stretch can now hit opponents.

King Rho

Arctic Halo no longer freezes opponents, but all counters (Base, Peak, and Royal) do.

Freeze status when hit is now active for 5 seconds after Base and Peak counter; 10 seconds after Royal.

Frozen Roundhouse will now wall bounce airborne opponents.

The following is a video demonstrating some of the changes.

Unless CC4 adds a lot of new bones to the rig, which I doubt, it should since this script works with any humanoid rig.  I will do a test sometime this or next week to confirm though.

Version 0.33

General

All Universal Overheads (HP+HK) adjusted to hit crouching opponents more consistently.

Slight story mode intro update (first scene is a dialog instead of scrolling text)

Lobbies can now have 20 players instead of just 8.

Excluding Arctina's, post-processing has been disabled or simplified in several environments, which will all be redone / retouched at a later date.

FIX:  KO echo should no longer remain on after a false-positive KOs due to rollback.

FIX:  Issue where some characters had 20 frames (instead of 2) of kara cancel on crouching normals.

Training Mode

Players can now set how many pops and how much energy they start with when resetting.

Fixed a bug that soft locked the game is paused when recording P2 inputs.

Atlas

FIX:  Atlas can now dash when a healing beam is up instead of activating it.

Octonia

Slight scaling adjustments on CHP, SHP, and SHK.

Drargos

Reduced hitstun on Volitans Dive.

Reduced damage on Volitans Dive; both {13} and {14} do the same amount of damage now.

Fixed various bugs when Antennata is summoned, especially in Drargos mirrors.

Antennata will disappear if Drargos is knocked into wipeout.

Spex Spear (LK) no longer results in a backflip and is unsafe when blocked.

Increased size of crouch hitspheres.

Miles Push and Miles Swap are now performed with Half-Circle Back ({6}{3}{2}{1}{4})

Gamma

Omega Lobster's Dance pulls opponent in on hit, which should improve its reliability.

Rho

VFX redone

VO implemented

Arctic Halo now "freezes" opponents.  When frozen, an opponent's hit stun will last longer.

The first hit of Manta Blade does not launch as high anymore.

Manta Blade Barrage pulls opponents in and should be more consistent.

New attack Frozen Roundhouse Unique ability ({13}+{14}), which replaced Hidden Manta Blade.  Rho charges, gaining armor, and then unleashes a kick that freezes his opponent on hit for 5 seconds.

The follow-ups to Peak Counter, Base Counter, and Royal Counter will freeze opponents for 3 seconds.

Super flash doesn't occur on Royal Counter unless the counter is successful.

Naeco

FIX:  Naeco's air projectile now has hitspheres.

Removed coral from environment.

Enjellique

When using Floatation Technique, Enjellique will drift to the top of the screen if she is above it.

Enjellique can no long Pop Cancel after Jellspear Sequence.

Enjellique now swaps elements when performing Jellemental Magic in the air.

Here is a quick video going over some of these changes:

• Story Mode is now accessible.  There are 4 battles total for now.
• IL2CPP compilation and other various optimizations made

Altas

Blessing appears a little closer to Atlas instead of in between him and his opponent.

Hi!  This is Matt, the creator of Battle High.  If you enjoyed this game, you may enjoy my other game, MerFight, which is currently running a Kickstarter:  https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mattrified/merfight-curse-of-the-arctic-prince to help fund VO.  Any contributions or shares on social media would be appreciated.  Thanks!

A new version is out, but as a prealpha build!  Note, you can only play people who are playing the same version.

The latest version is 0.25.0. Changes include the following:

• Updates to Rho and Octonia's VFX
• Players can join a room, even if the match is in progress (but not spectate)
• Connect display info in rooms
• Players can record and playback recorded commands in training mode
• And more! Check out "Info" from the main menu for more details.

Changes include a major UI overhaul, slight tweaks to reversals, and a small change to Octonia and Rho.

Changes include visual FX to Drargos, Octonia bug fixes, and Arctina's new stage.

New version of the game is live!  Changes include:

• Arcade Mode! A simple arcade mode is available. Choose from 8 levels of "difficulty". Note, the AI is a work in progress and more features related to this mode will come soon.
• All character walk speed decreased to match new animations
• New dash animations
• New animations for Gigi
• Spinout on Gamma's Spinkick Super increased.
• New Bolt challenge combo added.
• Slight quality of life adjustment to online. Stages are now previewed in lobby and game should detect and end a match on disconnect/desync.

Changes include new hit animations, new VFX for Arctina, and input display in training mode.

Does it work with any bones rig (ex. blender maya) or just the CC3 ?
Yes.  As long as it has all of the required bones, it should work properly.  If it is missing some of the required bones, however, you can use dummy objects as subtitutes

Does it work in 3ds max 2020 ?
Unfortunately, this was written in 3ds Max 2016, and extensive testing has not been done in other versions.  It should, but the package includes the source code, which can be modified if need be for newer versions.

Does it keep the animation after I change to Biped ?
There is an animation recording tool, however it is finicky.

Does it export from iClone (facial)
Facial rig animations from another biped should be preserved as all this script is doing is creating a dummy biped and constraining the original rig through a combination of orientation and position constraints.

I'm having this issue now too.  It's taking my build over 3 hours to upload and it looks like it just gets stuck. 

I've read some posts that it could be because of my virus protection.  Also I'm in the US.  Anything else I could try?

Ah.  That would make sense.  I believe I have Maxwell as well and am getting the same error.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti

Operation system -- Windows 10, 64-Bit

Hey, unfortunately not in the current build.  What version are you playing?

Does the game read that XBOX360 controller by itself instead of Xbox360 to Keyboard?  Let me know and I'll try and look into it before I upload version 1.4.0.2 here.
