/acg/ - Armored Core General: 20 More Years Edition

Looked it up, AC2AA does take place on Earth. My bad.

Also, 4th part of FM4 playthrough is up.

>Looked it up, AC2AA does take place on Earth. My bad.

It's okay, we all make mistakes. I accidentally copied "20th anniversary edition" from your last thread to this one.

Third for Gundam being trash and Gungriffon being cash

>really glad that the thread was more active last time
>kinda not glad that it was because we had a lot of discussion on other mech games, not AC

I am conflicted.

>>183070847
You can only talk about a series for so long before it breaks into other topics.

>>183070847
Armored Core, heh, more like Armored Coffin am I right guys?

>>183070847
You excited for that new AC game?

The new AC game will star extra-dimensional travel and combat.

So, anything pleasant? /drg/ is kinda shit today so I will try to be more present.

>>183079961
ummmm... Armored Core 3 Portable with keyboard and mouse thanks to PPSSPP 1.4.1's mouse support, little janky but not awful.

Garrison: Archangel updated recently and they posted a graphic for a new mech on their twitter https://twitter.com/play_archangel

Rengoku 2 is cool, kind of like a mech game due to the bodypart customization.

No Armored Core news though, not even a Funko Pop.

>>183080328
>twitter

Boy, just like tumblr and reddit, these are websites I have no idea how they work, glad you could find good stuff on it.

>>183080676
twitter is an awesome place to find AC news and art because the Japanese use it a lot

>>183081449

I know, people find good Danganronpa art (and even good porn) as well there, but I have no idea how it works.

>>183081629
Twitter just lets you take messages from a bunch of different people on the site and organizes it into a single feed for you to read.

If someone is subscribed ("follows") to you, then your messages (tweets) show up on their feed. If you follow them, their messages show up on your feed.

So the idea is that you follow 100+ people that you find interesting, and now you have a constant stream of interesting things to look at and read all day long. Or, if you have interesting things to say, you say it yourself.

The rest of the sites features are just little things on top of that. Like being able to broadcast (tweet) someone else's message to your followers (retweet).or being able to search all the messages.

Searching is where you find good things, because it shows you all the people who mentioned "armored core" around the world recently. You can also limit it to only pictures.

All in all, twitter's pretty simple, they just use dumb names for things that are already called something else.

>>183082885

Ah, thanks.

>>183083048
reddit is just a normal forum (post topics, people reply/common) but you use one account for all of the different forums (Armored Core has it's own reddit, Dogs has it's own, etc. You can make your own) instead of going to different web sites for each one.

Reddit's layout is kind of annoying though, just like twitter's terminology

>>183083675

I see, thank you.

>>183081449
like to get AC art from pixiv

>>183083675
To add to this, if you ever used Digg back when it was relevant (they had a major layout shift at some point), Reddit is the exact same thing.

>>183070847
Speaking of other mecha games, I've started playing Front Mission on the snes, and I gotta say it's a really good looking game for its time.

The 3v1 in Zearm Desert is infinitely easier than the 2v1 in Old Gal. Having the room to maneuver and focus down the enemies was much easier in the desert than dealing with two ACs that specialize in close quarters with no room to maneuver.

>>183097690
nope.

So I just saw that Kotobukiya put a news on their site with a Fracture kit painted on the 20th anniversary. I can't read jap so don't know what they are talking about.
I really hope they are going to announce something at this Wonfes since they didn't release/rerelease any AC kit this year.

Just move on you mongoloid. Great adventure awaits.

Just full completed AC2AA as part of my beginning to end non H+ playthrough of all Armored Core games. I'll post my completion image and my ACs tomorrow since it's late and I need sleep.

Also, Ultimate Nineball goes down like a bitch.

>>183135063
im still confused why you label it as non H+ when the norm is non H+

>>183136130
My original playthroughs used H+ at least for AC1, ACPP, AC2, and AC2AA. And then I used OP-I in 3 and SL, so for me it's non H+. But I see what you mean by that being the norm (or what should be the norm). I guess I just assumed that players used H+ more often than not if it was available.

>>183136419
I see, good on you for not using H+ tho

>>183137203
Oh my god, this is fucking gold.

Are you manipulating the skeleton?

>>183137496
Yeah, slowly figuring out how to get them all exported in T-Pose and without fucked up skeletons but ADAM is alright for goofs.

They're not rigged very well, the left and right arms don't even deform the same way and neither of them do it particularly well.

>>183137718
Well you did a really good job on that dab pose.

Did you enjoy the fight against Gryphus?

My favorite boss fight is Lycaon who is the 2nd boss.

>>183138516
I'm sure I enjoyed but I don't remember it. Like it was two days ago? But I don't remember it.

I either kicked his ass really hard or I entered into some sort of manic gamer state. I probably used the jammer head on him to disable his lock-on and dodged a lot while linear motor gunning him and similar weapons.

>>183126905
>WELCOME TO B RANK MOTHERFUCKER

B-rank is where the game stops throwing you "training" ACs where you're supposed to learn about the game from, and starts throwing at you fully realized strategies

>>183074935
>extra dimensional travel
But where to, though? How would you tie an AC plot around that?

>and combat
Regular or extra dimensional?

>>183144982
To the other dimension, the extra dimension. Like Event Horizon, uncut.

Extra dimensional combat.

>>183144982
>EXTRA DIMENSIONAL COMBAT

ugh

Don't get weird with AC, just give me a modern remake o ACLR and ZoE 3.

If the old ACs were on Steam they'd be community tagged as walking simulators.

And I'm not sure they'd be wrong.

>>183145459
have you played a walking sim?

All AC games are mech sims (even From Soft calls them sims) but on steam the pre-PS3 games would probably be called a "Platform Shooter" or "Puzzle shooter" similar to Doom or Portal.

>>183145710
The day someone calls AC a puzzle shooter in my presence is the day I get arrested for assault.

>>183148012
Platform shooter is more accurate, at least the indoor sections

>>183148562
Sounds more proper. This isn't Professor Layton.

>>183125131
I remember the first time I went up against that one. Fucking OP-I bullshit with those chainguns flying around. I don't remember how I beat him though. Probably an initial assault with lots of missiles when at range and then finishing him off with a machinegun.

2 and Q variants were used for most missions. B variant was for missions involving enemy ACs. H variant was for aquatic combat. K variant was Karasawa focused specifically for fighting things in the Lost Field.

On to AC3.

>>183167147
when you're all done, you should go back again and rely on weapons other than the karasawa and machine guns

B is pretty much identical to my first run through AC2. I like Q too.

>>183167420
The Karasawa's ammo efficiency and damage potential is too good to pass up sometimes, since there were no other decent energy weapon options until you pick up the Emeraud laser rifle. More often I'd rely on my pulse cannon and missiles to deal with most enemies so I could save my Karasawa for more important or tougher enemies. If there was a more efficient energy weapon like the 1k damage 100 shot laser rifle in 1st gen or SL, or even the 800 damage 75 shot laser rifle in 3, I'd have used that instead.

>>183168857
>no other decent energy weapon options
the laser rifle that shoots the thin beams and the laser sniper rifle are both really good, but I agree, the karasawa is pretty much the best in all ways in AC2.

Anyone have any idea what the difference between Normal and Hard difficulty level is for AC3? I can't seem to find any definitive answer anywhere besides one instance saying difficulty level changes the amount of time you have to get bonus missions.

>>183172798
I do know that one feature of it is that it makes the aim box smaller.

>>183172798
>>183173490
I believe all it does is change the size of the lockbox and missile AMS is worse

I am trained in bunny-hop warfare and I’m the top sniper in Signs. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Voice of War? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of photographers across the world and your whereabouts is being traced right now by Fred Nakano so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can disable your AC in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my post-destruction character. Not only am I extensively trained in pildriver combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the AC:VD at rank S with all scrap parts found and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of The Frontier, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I think they only go down if you do a mission for another corporation where you are against one. So if you take a mirage mission where you fight crest, your crest ranking goes down slightly but your mirage ranking goes up by a lot.

They do all max out eventually though, if you beat every mission.

Pretty sure they plan on getting it to consoles at some point. Unless something changed since I pitched in for the Indigogo campaign, the tier for which was supposed to include a physical copy of the game, for my platform of choice.

>>183350807
It's a holdover from a scrapped mechanic from AC3 I think, where initially you could install more weapons into your shoulders like in the intro cinematic. The inside weapons must've replaced this function, while never really removing the mechanic from the model.

They're planning on updating all the mechs in Garrison: Archangel to have this level of detail in their textures, as well as seamless patterns like camo and probably some others.

Supposedly you'll have the option to only have the pattern show up masked to areas like the primary or secondary or what have you colored areas, but I haven't seen a screenshot of it yet.

Before I actually leave, to open ac3data.bin you'll need the program offzip which I can't link due to the spam filter.

Run it from cmd to see the instructions.

Noesis will open the GIC images and extract the BNDs, or at least most of them.

Try offzip on other games too, it just looks for familiar compression patterns and uncompresses them.

Hope y'all find somethin.

My FME video is finally done. I feel the timing is a bit off in parts when it was exported.

Think I found where the colors is... Not sure if it's actually stored in 0-255 or 0-200, gotta fuck around with values I know.

So Grand Chief, who pilots Hammer and is ranked B-1 is:

(2D 46 32) (64 32 32) (1E 1E 1E) (B4 50 1E) (55 55 3C)
(2D 46 32) (64 32 32) (1E 1E 1E) (B4 50 1E) (55 55 3C)
(2D 46 32) (64 32 32) (1E 1E 1E) (B4 50 1E) (55 55 3C)
(2D 46 32) (64 32 32) (1E 1E 1E) (B4 50 1E) (55 55 3C)
(2D 46 32) (32 32 32) (50 32 32) (B4 50 1E) (55 55 3C)

Then to decimal RGB values

(45, 70, 50) (100, 50, 50) (30, 30, 30) (180, 80, 30) (85, 85, 60)
(45, 70, 50) (100, 50, 50) (30, 30, 30) (180, 80, 30) (85, 85, 60)
(45, 70, 50) (100, 50, 50) (30, 30, 30) (180, 80, 30) (85, 85, 60)
(45, 70, 50) (100, 50, 50) (30, 30, 30) (180, 80, 30) (85, 85, 60)
(45, 70, 50) (50, 50, 50) (80, 50, 50) (180, 80, 30) (85, 85, 60)

Maybe? Gonna try it out and see how it goes.

Next I'm gonna try converting them from 0-255 to 0-200 and see if that helps. Plus this is in Formula Front which has a reflection on it so it might look paler.

In 0-200 it'd be

(35, 55, 39) (78, 39, 39) (23, 23, 23) (140, 63, 23) (66, 66, 47)

Nah I think it stores the 0-200 value and converts it to 0-255 when it uses it?

Anyway, to get the colors to Armored Core 3 Portable ACs in the Arena you gotta use offzip on ac3data.bin and then open the 20KB dat and txt files and look through them for the right Arena number (A-1 is 1, count down) formatted NO. 15 and so on / parts for the AC you want. Some might have different file name extensions for no obvious reason and file size may be a little different.

Might be more ACs in some of the BND files, just gotta extract more.

PSP also generally uses a lot less resources to emulate, so you can get better graphics on the same hardware. PS2 emulation is processor heavy.

cash doesn't make your AC stronger, it just gives you more options to mix and match parts.

Once you have enough cash to buy a single part of each type, you don't really need more money for the rest of the game, it just makes things more convenient to not have to sell everything before buying new stuff.

Where? I must be blind.

>>183437068
Sort by leg type. Notice how RE/3003 and TRIDENT sits between two other tread-types? That means they're both tanks.

Moving ability for ZMX is also extremely high, it's lighter weight (I think it's the heaviest Hover and Trident is the lightest Tank) and it's ordered adjacent only to other hover types? Yeah, use some common sense about that.

Tanks and hovers show up differently. Most of the games (including AC3 on Ps3 and ACLR portable, no idea why not in AC3) have a line for "Type" where it lists them as either Hover leg or Tank leg.

Easy way to test even if the ordering is too hard to figure out is to just use a back cannon. Hovers have to stop in place while aiming them, tanks don't.

What's your fighting style look like? I'm just not seeing the raw dps necessary to beat the higher rank arena opponents with that loadout, considering the shredding power of some of the higher ranks.

>>183443859
Circle strafing and a very wide lock-on either in arena or the parking lot to give me an advantage against floaty types.

>>183444864
What about chain-gun abusing shitters like Ace? How'd you beat that dps? Lots of bunnyhopping to lose their tracking?

In doing some testing in AC3, I have determined that the reload stat is the number of frames (1/60th of a second) it takes to reload, and the OP-SP/E++ part increases energy weapon damage by 15%.

>>183445253
I'm only B-1, I don't have access to the A ranks yet. Also I'm just virtually always boosting so their bullets go behind me if I move right.

Neat. Good luck with the A ranks. I just finished going through them all myself so I was curious.

I've used pretty much the same fighting style in all games. Zenbu Style : overwhelm them with a barrages of missile followed by a hail of bullets.

>>183445524
This has been known for ages.

And I'm pretty sure reload time is 1/30th, not 1/60th. AC runs in 30fps. Technically it runs in NTSC which is 60 half-frames per second interlaid, but in terms of code it's still treated as 30fps. No AC game runs at true 60fps.

>>183437671
>A-rank without relying on Machine guns and L-arm howitzers

your AC's weapon loadout is one of the most OP possible builds I can think of for AC3 without resorting to H+. L-arm howitzers are less accurate karasawas.

I checked with the bazooka that has a reload value of 60, and it was shooting one shell every second exactly. I know the game doesn't run at 60fps, but the subdivision for the reload value is definitely 1/60th.

Hey Xez, I finally watched one of your FM videos, I cant belive I somehow skipped that game, it looks good; but I have to say, I am soo used to isometrics views on TBS, that I sometimes get weirded out when the camera moves around on the map, I guess is just about getting use to it.

but really it just makes it easier to keep track of conversations and content sometimes, since we tend to have more discussion rather than shitposting/memes going on here

Goddammit Mirage, stop being stingy and release your middle-weight EO core to the shop.

Do consorts lower your ranking in AC3P?

>Race to find turrets in the fog
>Only get the extra part if I do it fast enough to continue to the extra mission
Fuck you FromSoft

>>183455961
>Equip sniper rifle
>Take them all down solo while hardly moving
>S Rank
>No extra mission with the part
Fuck it whatever! Fuck it! I'll take an S Rank! Who gives a fuck who gives a shit, fuck it all. Fuck FromSoft, fuck video games, fuck this. I don't need the MWG-KARASAWA. Who gives a fuck! My dick's too big for this shit.

Why is it that B Shitter is never around when I am. This is pissing me off to a whole new level. Look B Shitter, fight me and let's get this over with. Pick a time and a date. After that I'll leave you be and move on to that old man. After that I'm coming for you aniki and that loser Xez, hehe, and then I come for the rest of you losers who belong in a normal.

I demand you come out of hiding and face me, coward. I sick and tired of doing this, it has went on for far too long to the point that other people are attacking me it's pissing me off that I want to kill you first for everything you did.

>>183458521
what the fuck you say about me

>>183458521
Do you even have an emblem? :\

>>183458906
Ha, don't make me laugh.

>>183459507
What is it with you and my Emblem? Who are you?

>>183460918
Maybe if you had an emblem you'd look more professional and people would fight you.

>>183461515
Hmph, fyi I have an Emblem (a new one) as I have started a new revelation. One that'll rid the false faces here.

I wont reveal myself until the final battle.

>>183458521
If you hate all the namefags. Why do you focus only on ranker? Just fight the others if ranker ignores you

>>183463395
No no, let him fight Ranker first. It'll be entertaining.
>>183451626
Used to be a good way for me to keep track of who was still active in the Guns, but now there's not much purpose. Old habits die hard.
Irregular Raven has the most justification, but he almost always posts anonymously. I feel like I saw him namefag once. Anyway, he's the guy working on the Last Raven patch.

It's definitely 1/60 in VD and I'm willing to believe FROM did that for the sake of consistency.

Armored Core: The False Faces

Introduction: A mysterious anon suddenly appears and challenge one of /acg/'s members, B+Ranker, in a battle to the death. This mysterious anon claims the members of /acg/ are the "False Faces", a secret organization manipulating and pulling strings behind the scenes and has declared war against /acg/. Will B+Ranker accept his challenge?

>>183455673
Yes.

>>183464396
We're getting dangerously close to LARPing territory, let's not tempt fate any further.

this makes me wish i had a good drawn emblem like all the other pilots

Mmmmmm... can't find a shader for PPSSPP that'll let me use a custom CLUT to color the image, but maybe AC3P uses its own CLUT internally and I can just maybe... replace it with something a little synthwavy...

Got this in the RAM at 0x450F3F, but it's real small. Not sure what it is but I guess I'll log it and try to fuck with it later.

>>183495062
Exists again at 0x47FCB7 and that's all I seen.

>>183495945
>>183495062
It either doesn't affect visuals or I don't know how to actually replace the values with cwcheats.

Did like _L 0x00450F7F 0xthe new line of bytes over and over for each new line in memory.

Oh well, not a huge thing. Maybe I can mess with the natural colors shader and get a thing.

Not quite what I want but teal and magentaish red is pretty cool.

Also did you know you get some stupid legs for doing good in the first ac test? Wonder what else there is.

>>183498879
I adjusted some values I saw in my duplicate of the natural colors shader because I assumed it converted RGB to YIQ and then the three groups of equations were for Y I and Q channels but they all just made it brighter? Think I managed to only affect the Y channel, not sure what's up with the three textures then. It's been a while since I bothered with shaders and even then I didn't really understand it, I just looked for patterns in examples and tried to get things to work with trial and error.

I want a Zeong build for Nexus; a quick, floaty mech with enough ammo and power to carry me through the mission.

What do you guys suggest?

>First Person View
Load Armored Core 3 data from a memory card that also has an Armored Core 2 or Armored Core 2: Another Age saved game on it. Pause the game during a mission, arena battle or VS battle, and simultaneously press the L1, R2, X, Square and down. The point of view switches to first person. Unpause to go back to default view.

I want this in PSP and I want it NOW.

>>183499706
oh nevermind this actually looks awful on ps2. this is sub-halo FOV with a giant gun in your eyes, terrible.

Okay now it's doing what I expected.

>>183413982
Ace's color scheme really is excellent.

Okay let's uh... Let's give making a custom skin for my mech an honest try.

It's only gonna be like 6 or 8 really densely packed textures, how hard can it be if I just make myself do it?

Real simple, just camo but only in some sections so it's not a weird mess.

>no custom controls for garrison archangel
>dodge button is not on a trigger or L3/R3, so you have to stop moving the camera to dash/dodge

well guess I'm not playing this game

>>183499579
High movement ability Hover legs with Pixie2 and EO cores. Use normal movement (not boosting) for basic dodges and use boosting for range control/closing in. Use a really good radiator and a high capacity (but low cal value, like FUDOH) generator. L-arm blade if you want even more ammo, or L-arm shell sheild otherwise.

Or the same, but lightweight biped with Birdie2 boosters.

>>183517951
why the fuck you playing unlocked, the unlocked camera is literally useless

did you just try the controls against a dummy ai or something

>>183518639
I'm not playing unlocked but I'd prefer AC controls over ZoE controls. I don't like having to take my thumb off the R-stick to dodge, it seems counter intuitive.

>>183518983
Stop putting your thumb on a stick that isn't used then. Keep your thumb on A.
