It's Mr. Computer!
Whenever I download extra characters, I'm always thinking about how when people put their characters in the Character Select screen, they just place them willy-nilly into the MAINCFG lump, giving them character IDs that conflict with other characters, and positions that overlap others' in the list.
I propose we get a more organized system. Like, now. I know I'm a bit like JTE when it comes to this stuff, but you've got to admit, when you load all the characters at once, the list is just all junked up and you can't access all the characters because they overwrite each other. So I think we should have a list that works like this:
Character 0 (Sonic) - Position 0
Character 1 (Tails) - Position 8
Character 2 (Knuckles) - Position 16
Character 3 (FoxBlitzz (My character)) - Position 24
Character 4 (Amy) - Position 32
Character 5 (Shadow) - Position 40
Character 6 (Mario) - Position 48
Character 7 (Nitemare) - Position 56
Character 8 (Metal Sonic) - Position 64
Yeah, I put my character in as number 3 because Donnyku left that slot open for me.
Anyways, I feel that any new character WADs should follow this rule. It makes for a much tidier system. I mean, the way it is now, Shadow stuffs itself above Sonic, and Amy changes the positions of the three default characters for no reason. When loading the five extra characters, Amy disappeared, I could not find Nitemare, Mario was way down there, and Metal Sonic was INSIDE the Knuckles text, except it wasn't in the right character order, making things even worse. See where I'm coming from?
Feel free to discuss your opinions here, as well as voice suggestions and reserve places in the list for your character. I admit that there isn't a lot of room in there, but we can decrease line spacing if needed.
