Data Changing will require a data changer. You can download it from my downloads section. The data file is called deep_chop.dat. Remember, if you add more characters, weapons, and backgrounds, it WILL TAKE LONGER TO LOAD LITTLE FIGHTERS 2. SO MAKE A BACKUP OF deep_chop.dat

Activating all of the characters:

First thing to do is to open the deep_chop.dat with the data changer.
The first part of the data is a list of the characters. Find it.
Now you should see Bandit, Hunter, Mark, LouisEX, Firzen, ect.
Copy their line and put them on the bottom of the list. Like this:
Now change the numbers of the original ones. Because the original numbers are used for stage mode. One way is to add a "8" before each of their id numbers. For instace: Bandit is number 30, if you add a 8 before his id number. It would be 830. Just make sure the number isn't already in used. To check if it is in use, scroll down and look at the id numbers ABOVE THE BACKGROUNDS. SAVE
If you run Little Fighters, you should be able to select all of the characters now.

Adding new characters:

Extract the file in the desktop and then rename to it's real name EXAMPLE-"NeoWoody" and make sure it's called a ".dat" file. Then put that file into the "your LF2 folder"\data\
Open up deep_chop.dat with the data changer.
Go to the character parts. Now all you have to do is make your own character with their own ID number.
Make a empty row where you want them to be when you select them and put down a ID number. I recommand making them a 400 and then make the next character you install one extra. For example: if you wanted to install NeoWoody, give him the ID number of 400. Then if you install NeoDavis, make him number 401. Never make any character have the numbers of 100-199.
Next is their type, characters always have a type of "0" so give them a type of zero. After that is where the file is, the file must always be in the "data" folder. SAVE
So if all goes well, it should be like this:

id: 400 type: 0 file: data\"your new character's name".dat

7. Run Little Fighters 2 and while it's loading, it should take a little longer and it shouldn't break. Look for your character and you should see him.

Adding New Weapons with just a .bmp file:

If you are wanting to install a new weapon that only comes with just a .bmp file it means it was meant to just replace a orignal weapon.
Take that file and place it on your desktop.
Look in the "data" folder for the name of the data. EXAMPLE: If the .bmp is called weapon0.bmp, look for the weapon0.dat, copy the data and call it whatever you want your weapon to be or just call it weapon12 and if you install another weapon, it could be called weapon13.
Now rename the .bmp on your desktop to the same as the data file of the new weapon, EXAMPLE: If you named the new weapon Weapon12.dat, rename the .bmp to Weapon12.bmp.
Move that .bmp into the sprite\sys\ folder.
Now in the deep_chop.dat with the Data Changer, adding a new weapon is just like adding in a new character.
If you want the weapon to drop from the sky, it has to be have a ID number between 100-199.
Now the type is more diffucult.
If the data file came from:

DATA FILE - TYPE NUMBER
weapon0 - Type = 1
weapon1 - Type = 2
weapon2 - Type = 1
weapon3 - Type = 2
weapon4 - Type = 1
weapon5 - Type = 4
weapon6 - Type = 6
weapon8 - Type = 6
weapon9 - Type = 1
weapon10 - Type = 2
weapon11 - Type = 2

10. Put the Type Number after the ID number.
11. Then put where the weapon is located, it has to be in the "data" folder. Then put a space and then a "#", to finish, put the name of what ever you want that weapon to be called after the "#".
12. The line should look like this:
id: "NUMBER" type: "1,2,4, or 6" file: data\"something".dat #"weapon name". SAVE
13. Load up Little Fighters 2 and play a "VS" game. Keep pressing F8 till you see the new weapon fall from the sky.

Adding in a New Weapon with .dat and .bmp

When installing a weapon with a .dat and a .bmp, copy both to your desktop. Rename both of them to the weapon you want. EXAMPLE: "weapon21.dat" and "weapon21.bmp" Move them both to the "data" folder.
Load up the weapon data on your desktop with the data changer. The top should say: file(0-99): sprite\sys\"something".bmp. Change that "something" to the name of the weapon file. SAVE
Load up deep_chop.dat and go down to the weapons sections.
If you want the weapon to drop from the sky, it has to be have a ID number between 100-199.
Now the type is more diffucult.
If the first name of the data file came from:

5. Put the type number after the ID number
6. Then put where the weapon is located, it has to be in the "data" folder. Then put a space and then a "#", to finish, put the name of what ever you want that weapon to be called after the "#".
7. The lines should turn out likes this:
id: "NUMBER" type: "1,2,4,or 6" file: data\"something".dat #"weapon name" . SAVE
8. Load up Little Fighters 2 and play a "VS" game. Keep pressing F8 till you see the new weapon fall from the sky.

Adding a new Template Background

To add a new background, go into bg\template\ folder. Make a new folder called anything you want.
Go into the 3 folder and copy everything in that folder.
Go into your new folder and paste the things there.
Load up the bg.dat in your new folder with the data changer
If you like, you may rename the map but it can only hold one word. You could use underlines.
The layers should look like
"layer:
bg\template\3\pic1.bmp
transparency: 0 width: 967 x: 0 y: 128
layer_end"
Rename the "3" to whatever the folder is called. Rename the "3" for all of the other layers. SAVE
Load up the deep_chop.dat with the data changer and go to the very bottom. You should see somewhere the list of backgrounds. Make a new with a ID number not in used by any other backgrounds. Then add the file name. It should look like:
id: "NUMBER" file: bg\template\"folder name"\bg.dat. SAVE
Load up Little Fighters and play a "VS". You should see a new map to pick.

Every character is based on frames. On every frame, you must:
1. Say where the next frame is once the frame is completed
2. Specify a picture to go with it
Don go and modify the w: ? and x: ? and stuff like that unless youe very experienced

Other things are optional, such as:
1. Specifying the weaponact (The move the character will use)
2. If it a ball type (He is shooting something) then you also need to specify the object ID (that also goes with casting other characters)
3. Sound effects etc.
There lots

About the hit_a and stuff:
On every frame, you can specify where you can go next by using these. They can be either hit_a (means A), hit_j, hit_d, hit_Fa (means D>A), hit_Ua, hit_Da, hit_Fj (means D>J), hit_Uj, hit_Dj, and hit_ja (means DJA). They will be followed by the frame you wish to go to once they do that particular thing.

every chars grid in the .bmp is 79x79
x: the width start point from the grid.
y: the high start point from the grid.
-1
-1 -0---------------------79

tranform
state: 80xx xx=char id
To make and object chase, at the end of the first line, where it says: "hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0", at the end of the line put " hit_Fa: 2", then the object chases!
opoint creates a weapon, then oid is the id of the weapon.

23????<stage_end>
the <stage><stage_end> parameters obviously is used to enclose the coding of each stage.
In line 1, we see the items "id: 0" and "#stage 1-1".
"id: 0" would mean the sequence of the stages. So "0" would represent stage 1 and "1" would represent stage 2. Stage 2 would actually mean Stage 1-2 and stage 7, "8", would be Stage 2-2.
"#stage 1-1" is probably just a comment tag, and does nothing useful besides helping you identify which stage is which. So anything entered after the Pound (#) would not affect the coding.
In line 2-4, we see the parameters <phase> and <phase_end>. These would indicate what happens in each "phase" of enemy that appears. Every phase would be followed by the Go arrow and followed by the next phase of enemies. If there aren't any more enemies, it'll move onto the next stage.
"bound: 900" would probably mean the distance of the the x-coordinates the the area of the phase has, so in phase 1 of our example, you can only move 900 points on the x-coordinate before you get stopped by an invisible wall. Phase 2 has a bound of 1300, so by Phase 2, so the previous bound of 900 has been extended to 1300 of space for you to move horizontally.
Anything within the <phase> parameters would be Objects in the Phase. These can include enemies, hostages/criminals, items (ex. milk). In Phase 1 of our example, we see this tag:
????id: 30 hp: 50 times: 2 ratio: 1.0
"id: 30" would represent the id of the object. What each ID corresponds to can be found in "Data.txt" in the \data directory of LF2. "id:30" means a Bandit.
"hp: 50" would be refering to how much HP (hitpoints) the object appearing has. In this case, our Bandit has 50 HP.
"times: 2" means how many times this object appears. So in this case, 2 bandits will come out, the 2nd one coming out after the previous one's dead.
"ratio: 1.0" refers to when more than one player is playing. So right now, 1 bandit appears for every player there is. If the ratio is, say 5, there would be 5 bandits for every player, whereas a ratio of 0.5 would mean only 1 bandit would come up for every 1 player.
In line 15 and 16, we see:
????id: 122 x: 1100 #milk
????id: 123 x: 1100 #beer
Again, id: refers to the id of the object, and # is the comment sign. id: 122 would be milk, 123 would be beer, as shown in data.txt. #milk and #beer are disregarded by the game, as these are only comment lines.
(x: 1100) would refer to where on the field does these items appear. So since by this phase the bound has already extended to 2200, coordinates of 1100 would mean that the milk and beer would appear in around the center of the playing area.
Lets look at another example. This time this is from 4-4, (id: 33).
????<phase> bound: 1800
????????id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1000 y: 0 reserve: 8
????????id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1100 y: 0 reserve: 8
????????id: 122 x: 900 #milk ratio: 2
????????id: 123 x: 900 #beer ratio: 1
????????id: 3000 hp: 50 times: 2 ratio: 2
????<phase_end>
The only thing of notice here is the line:
????id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1000 y: 0 reserve: 8
Id 300 is criminal.dat I believe (or, hostages). act: 40 would refer to which criminal is set. If we take a look at criminal.txt, we can see that:
????<frame> 40 bandit
???? pic: 20 state: 0 wait: 7 next: 41 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 38 centery: 78 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0
???? bdy:
???? kind: 1043 x: 21 y: 18 w: 43 h: 62
???? bdy_end:
????<frame_end>
We don't have to worry about the other code for now. What we do want to look at, is "40 bandit". This means that act: 40 refers to bandits. (0 is monk, 10 is mark... etc.).
"x" as we stated before is just the coordinates where they appear. A "x" value of a negative # (ex. x: -1000) would simply mean that they appear from behind you... 1000 units behind your screen.
Reserve would be the # of reserves they have... or "Continues".

Please look at Class2!

well, the bmp for the moves, like a beam, is in the move file that the character is using. for example, if the character is useing firen's ball then in YOUR characters dat file where this move is the oid will be 210, indicating that it is using firen's ball move. to change what bmp firen's ball will use you have to open the firen_ball.dat itself. at the top it will have the location of the bmp file and throughout the dat it will have the frames and what pics of the bmp they use.

as for the kickin lots of ass with the run move thing,

here is an example

<frame> 91 dash_attack
pic: 107 state: 15 wait: 20 next: 999 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 centerx: 31 centery: 68 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0

itr:

bdy_end:
bdy:
kind: 0 x: 22 y: 36 w: 50 h: 18
bdy_end:
<frame_end>

look up to see the words in these()

any part that you want to change the attack strength change the injury amount. and i think that is about it. oh, another thing is if you want to change what move the guy uses, open the deep_chop.dat to get the id's for the moves, then change the oid # for the move you want to change in your guy's dat file.

Tutorial For Data Editing

>Lecon:1

Every chars grid in the .bmp is 79x79
x: the width start point from the grid.
y: the height start point from the grid.
-1
-1 -0---------------------79
-----------------------
-----------------------
-----------------------
79
but all chars doesn't use all of the 79x79 space.

>state: 3

Info:Super speed

wait: 2 =wait for the next pic,you can make him faster or slower,but when you make wait: 0 it doesn´t work because then you don´t see any pic, wait: 1 ist the fastest that you can make him(then he is really fast).

>Lecon:2

the char state
state: 0 = stand
state: 1 = walk
state: 2 = run
state: 3 = attack
state: 7 = defend
state: 1700 = heal yourself
>wait: 2
the frame plays how long.
>next: 73
the pic's no.
>dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0
example:
dvx: 10 move forwards 10 cubes,if -10 that means move backwards 10 cubes
dvy: -10 move up to sky 10(like jump) if 10 move down to ground 10
dvz: is the move position of ground
>centerx: 28 centery: 79
centerx: 28 not important, centery: 79, if the no. larger the char will stay in the sky.

>Lecon:3 VERY IMPORTANT TO ADD ATTACKS!

>hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0
hit_a: 0 mean hit attack key go to what frame(the no.),etc
hit_fj : d>j

When you wan´t to make a new attack like fire biscuit

then you must change deep_chop first:

there you must add a new id number and the new file name

id: 200 type: 3 file: data\john_ball.dat

id: 201 type: 1 file: data\henry_arrow1.dat

id: 202 type: 1 file: data\rudolf_weapon.dat

id: 203 type: 3 file: data\deep_ball.dat

id: 204 type: 3 file: data\henry_wind.dat

id: 205 type: 3 file: data\dennis_ball.dat

id: 206 type: 3 file: data\woody_ball.dat

id: 207 type: 3 file: data\davis_ball.dat

id: 208 type: 3 file: data\henry_arrow2.dat

id: 209 type: 3 file: data\freeze_ball.dat

id: 210 type: 3 file: data\firen_ball.dat

id: 211 type: 3 file: data\firen_flame.dat

id: 212 type: 3 file: data\freeze_column.dat

id: 213 type: 1 file: data\weapon7.dat #ice_sword

id: 214 type: 3 file: data\john_biscuit.dat

id: 215 type: 3 file: data\dennis_chase.dat

id: 216 type: 3 file: data\jack_ball.dat

id: 219 type: 3 file: data\jan_chaseh.dat

id: 220 type: 3 file: data\jan_chase.dat

id: 221 type: 3 file: data\firzen_chasef.dat

id: 222 type: 3 file: data\firzen_chasei.dat

id: 223 type: 3 file: data\firzen_ball.dat

id: 224 type: 3 file: data\thecharacter_firebicuit.data

then he takes the the file from data\...

before you change deep_chop open john_biscuit.dat

there you look at the effect

looks like this:

<frame> 0 flying

pic: 0 state: 3006 wait: 1 next: 1 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 45 centery: 38 hit_a: 7 hit_d: 4 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 1

sound: data\076.wav

itr:

kind: 0 x: 8 y: 1 w: 74 h: 19 dvx: 14 fall: 70 vrest: 25 bdefend: 20 injury: 50

effect: 1

itr_end:

bdy:

kind: 0 x: 8 y: 1 w: 74 h: 19

bdy_end:

<frame_end>

change it into effect: 2 then the biscuit effect is fire

then you must make in the whole john_biscuit.dat attention: first when you are finished to change john_biscuit save as the file name "thecharacter_biscuit"

example: icefiredeep_biscuit.dat

When you copyed a attack from a char. you must change first the frames

that all the frames are like a track(frame:1 frame:2...)

when they are not like this it will be a error.

that means a "bug"

When you change the frames you must scroll up to his namem

there you must change the bmp number:

<bmp_begin>

name: Hunter

head: sprite\sys\hunter_f.bmp

small: sprite\sys\hunter_s.bmp

file(0-69): sprite\sys\hunter_0.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7

when you are finished then you go to the attack id number...

20 id: 31 hp: 50 ratio: .4
21 id: 31 hp: 50 ratio: .2
22 <phase_end>
23 <stage_end>
the <stage><stage_end> parameters obviously is used to enclose the coding of each stage.
In line 1, we see the items "id: 0" and "#stage 1-1".
"id: 0" would mean the sequence of the stages. So "0" would represent stage 1 and "1" would represent stage 2. Stage 2 would actually mean Stage 1-2 and stage 7, "8", would be Stage 2-2.
"#stage 1-1" is probably just a comment tag, and does nothing useful besides helping you identify which stage is which. So anything entered after the Pound (#) would not affect the coding.
In line 2-4, we see the parameters <phase> and <phase_end>. These would indicate what happens in each "phase" of enemy that appears. Every phase would be followed by the Go arrow and followed by the next phase of enemies. If there aren't any more enemies, it'll move onto the next stage.
"bound: 900" would probably mean the distance of the the x-coordinates the the area of the phase has, so in phase 1 of our example, you can only move 900 points on the x-coordinate before you get stopped by an invisible wall. Phase 2 has a bound of 1300, so by Phase 2, so the previous bound of 900 has been extended to 1300 of space for you to move horizontally.
Anything within the <phase> parameters would be Objects in the Phase. These can include enemies, hostages/criminals, items (ex. milk). In Phase 1 of our example, we see this tag:
id: 30 hp: 50 times: 2 ratio: 1.0
"id: 30" would represent the id of the object. What each ID corresponds to can be found in "Data.txt" in the \data directory of LF2. "id:30" means a Bandit.
"hp: 50" would be refering to how much HP (hitpoints) the object appearing has. In this case, our Bandit has 50 HP.
"times: 2" means how many times this object appears. So in this case, 2 bandits will come out, the 2nd one coming out after the previous one's dead.
"ratio: 1.0" refers to when more than one player is playing. So right now, 1 bandit appears for every player there is. If the ratio is, say 5, there would be 5 bandits for every player, whereas a ratio of 0.5 would mean only 1 bandit would come up for every 1 player.
In line 15 and 16, we see:
id: 122 x: 1100 #milk
id: 123 x: 1100 #beer
Again, id: refers to the id of the object, and # is the comment sign. id: 122 would be milk, 123 would be beer, as shown in data.txt. #milk and #beer are disregarded by the game, as these are only comment lines.
(x: 1100) would refer to where on the field does these items appear. So since by this phase the bound has already extended to 2200, coordinates of 1100 would mean that the milk and beer would appear in around the center of the playing area.
Lets look at another example. This time this is from 4-4, (id: 33).
<phase> bound: 1800
id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1000 y: 0 reserve: 8
id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1100 y: 0 reserve: 8
id: 122 x: 900 #milk ratio: 2
id: 123 x: 900 #beer ratio: 1
id: 3000 hp: 50 times: 2 ratio: 2
<phase_end>
The only thing of notice here is the line:
id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 1000 y: 0 reserve: 8
Id 300 is criminal.dat I believe (or, hostages). act: 40 would refer to which criminal is set. If we take a look at criminal.txt, we can see that:
<frame> 40 bandit
pic: 20 state: 0 wait: 7 next: 41 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 38 centery: 78 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0
bdy:
kind: 1043 x: 21 y: 18 w: 43 h: 62
bdy_end:
<frame_end>
We don't have to worry about the other code for now. What we do want to look at, is "40 bandit". This means that act: 40 refers to bandits. (0 is monk, 10 is mark... etc.).
"x" as we stated before is just the coordinates where they appear. A "x" value of a negative # (ex. x: -1000) would simply mean that they appear from behind you... 1000 units behind your screen.
Reserve would be the # of reserves they have... or "Continues".

Introduction:

I'm Jiquera Mondilano I made the Data Changer for Little Fighter 2 and a few other programs. If u want to see all other programs i made for LF2 check this site: jiquera.web1000.com . if u wanna know what LF2 is check this site: lf2.net .

After almost the entire world asked me how to use the data changer i decided to make this guide. Not everything what's in this guide is made by me I thank all LF2 fans who helped me making this guide, and of course Marti Wong who explained the most to me. If u think the guide is unclear, incorrect, incomplete or parts are useless plz mail me .

data changing will require Jiquera's LF2 Data Changer v1.4. You can download it from this link . We use LF2 version 1.9 here. The data file is called "data.txt". Remember, if you add more characters, weapons, and backgrounds, it will longer to load Little Fighter 2. So MAKE A BACKUP of “data.txt” . Data.txt is stored at "yourlf2folder\data\data.txt"

A small tip: it's easy to create an undetectable character but it's way more fun to have character which victory depends on your fighting skills.

Type Explanation:

in Data.txt are types used to determine with what kind of data file the computer is dealing.
Type 0 = A Character (Bandit)
Type 1 = A weapon which can be used to slam enemies (Baseball Bat)
Type 2 = A heavy weapon which can be thrown to knock down enemies, it slows down you movement speed (Stone)
Type 3 = A special move of a character (Fire Ball)
Type 4 = A weapon which can be thrown to hurt an enemy (Baseball)
Type 5 = A data file which contains "special data" (criminal.dat)
Type 6 = A bottle which can be drunk (Beer)

State Explanation:

in *.dat files are States used to determine with what kind of frame the computer is dealing.

Character Data File Index Explanation:

In every characterdata file is an index which contains the basic information of the character. I suggest that u open a "Bandit.dat", for example, so u can see what I mean
U should see this list:

name: Bandit
head: sprite\sys\bandit_f.bmp
small: sprite\sys\bandit_s.bmp
file(0-69): sprite\sys\bandit_0.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(70-139): sprite\sys\bandit_1.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(140-209): sprite\sys\bandit_0b.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(210-279): sprite\sys\bandit_1b.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
walking_frame_rate 3
walking_speed 4.000000
walking_speedz 2.000000
running_frame_rate 3
running_speed 8.000000
running_speedz 1.300000
heavy_walking_speed 3.000000
heavy_walking_speedz 1.500000
heavy_running_speed 5.000000
heavy_running_speedz 0.800000
jump_height -16.299999
jump_distance 8.000000
jump_distancez 3.000000
dash_height -11.000000
dash_distance 15.000000
dash_distancez 3.750000
rowing_height -2.000000
rowing_distance 5.000000

Everything between and contains the basic information of the character
Behind Name: is the text what will be displayed when u chose this character in the selection menu
Behind Head: is the path of the image stored which will be displayed when u chose this character in the selection menu
Behind Small: is the path of the image stored which will be displayed un top of the screen while playing with this char.
file(*-*): this command indicates which images this character uses. it also cuts the image in smaller images and assigns every small image with a number. Between the “ (“ and “ )” are the numbers stored which will be assigned to the small images, then comes the file path of the original image, w = width of each small image, h = height of each small image, row = number of small images in the width of the original image, col = number of small images in the height of the original image. For each "original" image u use u should make a new file command.
Walking_Frame_Rate: indicates the number of frames what will be used per second while this character is walking.
Walking_Speed: indicates the movement speed(left-right) while this character is walking.
Walking_Speedz: indicates the movement speed(up-down) while this character is walking.
Running_Frame_Rate: indicates the number of frames what will be used per second while this character is running.
Running_Speed: indicates the movement speed(left-right) while this character is running.
Running_Speedz: indicates the movement speed(up-down) while this character is running.
Heavy_Walking_Speed: indicates the movement speed(left-right) while this character is walking carrying a heavy weapon.
Heavy_Walking_Speedz: indicates the movement speed(up-down) while this character is walking a heavy weapon.
Heavy_Running_Speed: indicates the movement speed(left-right) while this character is running a heavy weapon.
Heavy_Running_Speedz: indicates the movement speed(up-down) while this character is running a heavy weapon.
Jump_Height: indicates the jump height (the lower the number, the higher the jump).
Jump_Distance: indicates the jump distance(left-right).
Jump_Distancez: indicates the jump distance(up-down).
Dash_Height: indicates the run + jump height (the lower the number, the higher the jump).
Dash_Distance: indicates the run + jump distance(left-right).
Dash_Distancez: indicates the run + jump distance(up-down).
if u r being attacked and tossed into the air u can press jump to get back on your feet again: Rowing_height: the height of the flight you made.
if u r being attacked and tossed into the air u can press jump to get back on your feet again: Rowing_Distance: the distance(left-right) of the flight you made.

Data File Frame Explanation :

Almost every data-file contains frames ( , ). Every frame contains the properties of a picture wich is viewed on the screen.

Hint: when "defend" is pressed the "defend-frame" is loaded. So a special move always starts in the "defend-frame"!

Open up "Bandit.dat" with the datachanger and scroll down to the first frame u see it should look like this:

0 standing

pic : 0 state : 0 wait : 5 next : 1 dvx : 0 dvy : 0 dvz : 0 centerx : 39 centery : 79 hit_a : 0 hit_d : 0 hit_j : 0

Activating all of the characters:

First thing to do is to open the "data.txt".
The first part of the data is a list of the characters. Find it.
Now you should see Bandit, Hunter, Mark, LouisEX, Firzen, etc...
Copy their line and put them on top of the list again.
Now change the numbers of the original ones. Because the original numbers are used for stage mode. One way is to add a "8" before each of their id numbers. For instance: Bandit is number 30, if you add a 8 before his id number. It would be 830. Just make sure the number isn't already in used. To check if it is in use, scroll down and look at the id numbers ABOVE THE BACKGROUNDS . SAVE, if you did everything right the list should look like this now:

id: 852 type: 0 file: data\julian.dat
id: 851 type: 0 file: data\firzen.dat
id: 850 type: 0 file: data\louisEX.dat
id: 838 type: 0 file: data\bat.dat
id: 839 type: 0 file: data\justin.dat
id: 837 type: 0 file: data\knight.dat
id: 836 type: 0 file: data\jan.dat
id: 835 type: 0 file: data\monk.dat
id: 834 type: 0 file: data\sorcerer.dat
id: 833 type: 0 file: data\jack.dat
id: 832 type: 0 file: data\mark.dat
id: 831 type: 0 file: data\hunter.dat
id: 830 type: 0 file: data\bandit.dat

id: 52 type: 0 file: data\julian.dat
id: 51 type: 0 file: data\firzen.dat
id: 50 type: 0 file: data\louisEX.dat
id: 38 type: 0 file: data\bat.dat

id: 9 type: 0 file: data\dennis.dat
id: 10 type: 0 file: data\woody.dat
id: 11 type: 0 file: data\davis.dat

If you run Little Fighters, you should be able to select all of the characters now. NOTE: Julian and Knight won't have armour

Top

Adding new moves to the game:

Put the "nameofmove.dat" file of your new move into "your LF2 folder\data\"
Open up “data.txt”.
The third part of the data is a list of the moves. Find it.
Add to the bottom of this list a line like this:

id: "NUMBER" type: 3 file: data\"your move".dat

Make sure the ID is higher then 199 and is unique
To add a move to a Character see Character Frame Explanation

Top

Adding new characters:

Find the "nameofchar.dat" file of the character. Put that file into the "your LF2 folder"\data\
Open up “data.txt”.
Go to the character parts. Now all you have to do is make your own character with their own ID number.
Make a empty row where you want them to be when you select them and put down a ID number. I recommend making them a 400 and then make the next character you install one extra. For example: if you wanted to install NeoWoody, give him the ID number of 400. Then if you install NeoDavis, make him number 401. Never make any character have the numbers of 100-199.
Next is their type, characters always have a type of "0" so give them a type of zero. After that is where the file is, the file must always be in the "data" folder. SAVE

6. So if all goes well, it should be like this:

id: 400 type: 0 file: data\"your new character's name".dat

Run Little Fighters 2 and while it's loading, it should take a little longer and it shouldn't break. Look for your character and you should see him.

Top

Adding New Weapons with just a .bmp file:

If you are wanting to install a new weapon that only comes with just a .bmp file it means it was meant to just replace a original weapon.
Take that file and place it on your desktop.
Look in the "data" folder for the name of the data. EXAMPLE: If the .bmp is called weapon0.bmp, look for the weapon0.dat, copy the data and call it whatever you want your weapon to be or just call it weapon12 and if you install another weapon, it could be called weapon13.
Now rename the .bmp on your desktop to the same as the data file of the new weapon, EXAMPLE: If you named the new weapon Weapon12.dat, rename the .bmp to Weapon12.bmp.
Move that .bmp into the sprite\sys\ folder.
Now in the “data.txt”, adding a new weapon is just like adding in a new character.
If you want the weapon to drop from the sky, it has to be have a ID number between 100-199.
For the type see Type Explanation
Put the Type Number after the ID number.
Then put where the weapon is located, it has to be in the "data" folder. Then put a space and then a "#", to finish, put the name of what ever you want that weapon to be called after the "#".
The line should look like this:

id: "NUMBER" type: "NUMBER" file: data\"something".dat #"weapon name".

SAVE
Load up Little Fighters 2 and play a "VS" game. Keep pressing F8 till you see the new weapon fall from the sky.

Top

Adding in a New Weapon with .dat and .bmp:

When installing a weapon with a .dat file and a .bmp file, copy both to your desktop. Rename both of them to the weapon you want. EXAMPLE: "weapon21.dat" and "weapon21.bmp" Move them both to the "data" folder.
Load up the weapon data on your desktop with the data changer. The top should say: file(0-99): sprite\sys\"something".bmp. Change that "something" to the name of the weapon file. SAVE
Load up data.txt and go down to the weapons sections.
If you want the weapon to drop from the sky, it has to be have a ID number between 100-199.
For the type see Type Explanation
Put the type number after the ID number
Then put where the weapon is located, it has to be in the "data" folder. Then put a space and then a "#", to finish, put the name of what ever you want that weapon to be called after the "#".
The lines should turn out likes this:

id: "NUMBER" type: "NUMBER" file: data\"something".dat #"weapon name".

SAVE
Load up Little Fighters 2 and play a "VS" game. Keep pressing F8 till you see the new weapon fall from the sky.

Adding a new Template Background:

To add a new background, go into bg\template\ folder. Make a new folder called anything you want.
Go into the 3 folder and copy everything in that folder.
Go into your new folder and paste the things there.
Load up the "bg.dat" in your new folder with the data changer
If you like, you may rename the map but it can only hold one word. You could use underlines.
The layers should look like

layer:
bg\template\3\pic1.bmp
transparency: 0 width: 967 x: 0 y: 128
layer_end

7. Rename the "3" to whatever the folder is called. Rename the "3" for all of the other layers. SAVE

8. Load up the data.txt and go to the very bottom. You should see somewhere the list of backgrounds. Make a new with a ID number not in used by any other backgrounds. Then add the file name. It should look like:

id: "NUMBER" file: bg\template\"folder name"\bg.dat.

SAVE
Load up Little Fighters and play a "VS". You should see a new map to pick.
Data changing is pretty simple, in this tutorial I will try to explain all the things I know about it.
The things you will need are:
the data changer (found at Jiquera’s website).

Some thing you should know in this tutorial:
SA’s means: special attack(s)
MP: mana power
HP: health power
EX.: Example

Some advice you should be aware of:
Backup your succeded files,
It stinks when you ruin them after a week of work.

To begin with, I start with the begginning of the text when you open template’s data file.

<bmp_begin>
name: Template
the name of your character.

head: sprite\template1\face.bmp
the face of your character at the selection screen.
This also indicates the location of the bmp.

small: sprite\template1\s.bmp
the small character left from your hp/mp bar.

file(0-69): sprite\template1\0.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(0-69) number of squares in the bmp.
sprite\template1\0.bmp the location of 0.bmp (first series of moves)
w: 79 h: 79 if you go to the 0.bmp of template with windows paint you will see green lines around the pictures
one square is 79 pixels in length (w) and 79 pixels in height (h).

row: 10 count of squares in length
col: 7 count of squares in height

file(70-139): sprite\template1\1.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
see above

walking_frame_rate 3
? i think how many frames per sec. When he walks.

walking_speed 4.000000
how fast he walks

walking_speedz 2.000000
how fast he walks (diagonal)

running_frame_rate 3
see above

running_speed 8.000000
see above

running_speedz 1.300000
see above

heavy_walking_speed 3.000000
how fast he walks when carring a crate/rock/armour

heavy_walking_speedz 1.500000
see above

heavy_running_speed 5.000000
see above

heavy_running_speedz 0.800000
see above

jump_height -16.299999
how high he jumps

jump_distance 8.000000
how far he jumps to the left/right

jump_distancez 3.000000
how far he jumps diagonal

dash_height -11.000000
how far you jump after the previous in height.

dash_distance 15.000000
how far you jump after the previous jump to the right/left

dash_distancez 3.750000
how far you jump after the previous jump (diagonal)

rowing_height -2.000000
if someone gives you a blow that you will be knocked on the floor, you can recover pressing JUMP while in the air.
The height of this is showed bij the number

rowing_distance 5.000000
look line above for discription, this indicates how far you’ll jump backwards.

<bmp_end>

If you look further you will see more data:

<frame> 0 standing
for each character there are about 300 frame’s (template got 234) i don’t no exactly what a frame is, but i it contains information
about the next frame the character will do. Each frame has a number like: <frame> 1 if you look at the next lines, you’ll understand it better.

   pic: 0 state: 0 wait: 3 next: 1 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 centerx: 39 centery: 79 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0
pic: 0 The number of the square in the bmp. (0 is the first square)
state: 3 the action that your character will do. Only one problem, there are 1700 diffrent states: there just to many of them to name them all.
wait: 3 how long your character will wait until the next frame
next: 1 indicates that you must go to the next frame, the number says what frame number ( <frame> 999 to stop series of frames)
dvx: 0 how far you will go foreward
dvy: 0 how high you will go upwards (use – if you want to go up ex. Dvy: -3)
just remember that X is horizontal
Y vertical
Z diagonal
centerx: 39 ? I think the location in the bmp files
centery: 79 see above
hit_a: the number indicates the frame number when you hit the attack button.
hit_d: the number indicates the frame number when you hit the defend button.
hit_j: the number indicates the frame number when you hit the jump button.
Just remember that A means attack
D defend
J jump

With this you can also create SA’s. But not with A, D, and J. After this frame I will explain how to create SA’s.

   wpoint:
      kind: 1 x: 33 y: 45 weaponact: 21 attacking: 0 cover: 0 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0 x: 21 y: 18 w: 43 h: 62
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>
What this says I don’t understand (sorry)

Special Attack’s
I now will teach how to make SA’s lets take DEEP for ex.
Your goal should be that instead you use D +      > + A for the blast but D +     ^ + A it is weird, but a good practice.

1. ask yourself, when can you activate SA’s? (when standing, walking, defending, but not running, jumping etc.)
2. search all the frames when you can activate a SA.
3. change the following thing:

<frame> 0 standing
   pic: 0 state: 0 wait: 4 next: 1 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0 centerx: 37 centery: 79 hit_a: 0 hit_d: 0 hit_j: 0 hit_Fa: 235 hit_Da: 260 hit_Fj: 290 hit_Uj: 266
   bpoint:
      x: 36 y: 35
   bpoint_end:
   wpoint:
      kind: 1 x: 21 y: 55 weaponact: 23 attacking: 0 cover: 0 dvx: 0 dvy: 0 dvz: 0
   wpoint_end:
   bdy:
      kind: 0 x: 21 y: 18 w: 43 h: 62
   bdy_end:
<frame_end>

What i marked is the input of the SA’s

Hit_fa: 235 means hit defend, forward, attack
D     + > + A
There is never a combinatation between 3 letters (D is used bij all attacks so it isn’t written).

All inputs are:
Fa D + > + A
Ua D + ^ + A
Da D + v + A
Fj D + > + J
Uj D + ^ + J
Dj D + v + J
Ja D + j + A

Just remember that F means foreward
U Up
D Down
A Attack
J Jump

Be sure that you first input the direction, then the A/ J button.

So if you want to change it you type Ua instead of Fa. get it?.

Now some other stuff, if you open dennis.dat you will see at frame 295 this.
Now look for OID: 215

id: 100~199 drop weapon

If you now open this file you will see all the statistics of Dennis chase ball.
So if you want to create a new ball for dennis just add under
id: 229 type: 3 file: data\julian_ball2.dat
id: 230 type: 3 file: data\dennis_chase2.dat
and change back in the dennis data file at frame 298, oid number 215 into 230.

How to make a object chasing.
There are 2 chase modes,
Dennis’ chase balls and Jullian’s balls.
The chase ball of dennis chases the target longer then the skulls of jullian.
To make a object chasing is quite simple,
Go to the dat. File of the ball. And add behind hit_j: 0
Hit_Fa: 2 for a long chase.
Hit_Fa: 14 for a short chase.

Weapons.
Now it’s time for weapon’s.
If you look in the data.txt you’ll see behind each character/weapon “TYPE:” standing.
There are 7 type’s, i will explain them all.

Type 0: a character
Type 1: a slamming weapon (stick, ice sword, etc.)
Type 2: a heave weapon (stone, rock.)
Type 3: a second data file (davis_ball.dat etc.)
Type 4: a throwing weapon (baseball)
Type 5: a other data file (criminal)
Type 6: a drink (milk)

If you make a weapon, and you want it to fall out of the sky,
Make the id number between 100 an 199.
The only problem i have when i make weapons, that they just dissapear when i throw them away.

Stage mode.
About the stage mode there is not much about to explain,
Most things are pretty clear, just to make this a compleet tutorail i will explain it.

<stage> id: 44 #stage 5-5
stage: idicates that it’s the beginning of a stage
id: 44 #stage 5-5: indicates that it’s stage 5-5

        <phase> bound: 1500
<phase>: the beginning of the first assault.
Bound: how large the stage is

                id: 300 hp: 100 act: 40 x: 900 y: 0 reserve: 5
id: 300: a hostage
hp: 100: how much hp he has
act: 40: who the hostage is. (look in criminal.dat)
x: 900 y: 0: the position.
Reserve: count of lives.

                id: 300 hp: 100 act: 50 x: 900 y: 0 reserve: 5
                id: 300 hp: 100 act: 50 x: 900 y: 0 reserve: 5

milk

                id: 122 x: 300 #milk ratio: .7
ratio: .7: ? i think the count that will fall depends on difficulty.

                id: 123 x: 300 #beer

                id: 34 hp: 100 times: 3 ratio: .5

indicates end of stage.

To make a character join you if you killed him,
Add join: # behind the line (# = count of hp)

You can’t make new stages, but you can make new levels, make a new id. (id: 45 means that after 5-5 comes 5-6)

How to add a new character/background to LF2
Warning: if you make new things to add with little fighter, it will take longer to load lf2

Character’s:
If you want to add a new character to lf2 open data.txt
If you want to make a secret character, make a id higher then 52 but lower then 60.
If you want to make a random character make the id 3, or between 11 and 29.
If you want to make a new character, but you don’t wan’t to make him random make the higher then 60

Ex.
id: ## type: 0 file: data\***.dat
##   = id number
*** = your new character name

Warning: The A.I. doen’t know the special moves of a character.

Background’s:
To add a background make a new id, (8) add the location, and a new bg.dat file
It’s best that you copy the bg.dat of template1, found in: yourlf2folder/bg/template/1

name: Template1
name of bg.

width: 1600   zboundary: 370 510
width: 1600 groote in lengte
zboundary: 370 510   ?

shadow: bg\template\1\shadow.bmp shadowsize: 37 9
Location of the shadow.bmp, and how large it is.

layer:
bg\template\1\pic1.bmp
transparency: 0 width: 967 x: 0 y: 128
layer_end

each background is built out of layers play the original background for the proper order.

If you want to make a new background, (a random)
Be sure to edit all the location’s of the layer’s.
bg\newbackgound\pic1.bmp

How to transform.
This is one of the coolest things of LF2.
Butt how?
To tell you the truth, i don’t no for myself to,
But that doesn’t mean it’s not possible
Just make a new SA code named hit_ja: 308.

Warning:
1. check or there arn’t frames that are allready used.
2. not by each character works hit_ja: ###, just make anather code.

Then add between the last frame and <frame> 399 dummy this tekst.

Now look at the final frame (frame 329)
You will standing by “state” number 80## the ## means the ID number of the character you want to transform in.
(52 = jullian, but 1 = deep, if you want to transform into deep add instead of the “##” 01.
Now go at the top of your character data file.

file(0-69): sprite\sys\deep_0.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(70-139): sprite\sys\deep_1.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7
file(140-209): sprite\sys\deep_2.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7

Add a new line under the last:
file(210-280): sprite\sys\deep_3.bmp w: 79 h: 79 row: 10 col: 7

make a new bmp called “deep_3.bmp” and draw your transform action.

But your transformed character is not finished,
The data now thinks that Jullian_2.bmp = Jullian_0.bmp
Jullian_3.bmp = Jullian_1.bmp
Etc. So the whole bmp srews up!
To solve this problem go to jullians data file and fix the following thing:

file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(50-63): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2
file(64-113): sprite\sys\julian_2.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5

1. copy the first line and add it under the second.
file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(50-63): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2
file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5

2. copy the second line and add it under the third.
file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(50-63): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2
file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(50-63): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2

3. change file numbers
file(0-49): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(50-63): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2
file(64-134): sprite\sys\julian_0.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5
file(135-148): sprite\sys\julian_1.bmp w: 109 h: 99 row: 7 col: 2
file(64-113): sprite\sys\julian_2.bmp w: 79 h: 99 row: 10 col: 5

Well,
Thats it!
That’s all you should know about data changing!
If something doesn’t work, or you don’t get it right.
Mail me at Rockrose@freeler.nl

Special thanks.
I would like to give my thanks to:
Jiquera Mondilano for his data changer.
Andy Jayne For some help.
Valkyrie For making some space on his site.

And of course:
Marti & Starski Wong for making the best game i’ve ever played.

y: 12, h: 66 ---> How far when attacked (!Up and Down!As in sky and ground!) (if you learned pre-algebra the y is like y-axis (up and down) and the h is like height)
bdy_end ---> Body Ends
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mp: How much mp is used (If you add this onto a move after the hit_a, hit_d, hit_j, you could make that move take mp)

SOUND
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding sounds to a move is really easy but making that sound come out at the right moment takes lots of testing...
To add a whole new sound all you have to do is put the sound file into the folder that is called "Data" To add a sound to a move or like drinking milk, all you have to do is put this on the second line of the frame (after the pic:, etc): !sound: data(sound name).wav!

For example:
I got a new sound called "beep.wav" into the "Data" folder
Now I want my new character to make that sound when he/she walks
I put !sound: databeep.wav! to the second line of the place I want it to make that sound
Now I got sounds at those frames.

INJURY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We all know now that adding injury increses damage but there are special codes you can add after the injury codes.

effect: 0 ---> Punch
effect: 1 ---> Sharp Weapon (Blood Comes Out)
effect: 2 ---> Fire
effect: 3 ---> Ice
effect: 4 ---> Goes Through Enemy (?Most Likely For The Healing Balls That Doesn't Let Enemy Heal?)
effect: 5 or Higher ---> ?
effect: 20 ---> Fire

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
injury: 40
+++++++++++++++++++
Then Add effect: 2
+++++++++++++++++++
injury: 40 effect: 2
--------------------
Now this attack does 40 damage and burn people

Sprite
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The height and width of the sprite could be changed at the beginning of the data. Ususlly they're 79 by 79 pixels.
Also you could change the amount of sprites on the Sprite sheets.
!The first box is 0 not 1!
When they say a "row" they mean how many boxes in a row not how many rows.
