Character Selection Champions, Bosses, Defeated, Trophies Icon Display On Portraits #3212
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.Purpose The purpose of creating this module is because I make either Arcade towers runs, or tournaments that show which characters are stronger and if a char wins, then they become a boss until defeated like King Of The Hill style and need to not be selectable and encounterable as lesser than boss, something order= and hidden= parameters try to do in Select.def but not exactly. 
Example of tourney testing their success What Is Expected A system that allows sprites of icons such as medals, trophies to be attached to a character portrait based on the parameters similar to how Select.def’s RandomSelect forces an icon to display determined in System.def with the cell.random.spr. Because this may be on top of a Character icon, it may not be exactly the same but it is important to attach to the portrait because if combined with a module that scrolls character selection rows, they should move along with the scrolled rows, hence why the need for module that attaches to the portraits and not to just display FG/BG sprites on the Selection Screen that stay static. <style> </style>The Parameters
I will need multiple parameters to cover all the states of the Character icon I need. Spr and Anim in case deciding to use animation but Anim may be skipped for now.
Effects: 1) Works if [parameter]=1 in Select.def, else, do not use 2) Displays the designated spr/anim on top of the char portrait 3) Attach it to the portrait, so that in case of using a scrollable Character Selection module, the overlaid sprites will move as part of the portrait, for which the parameters are used 4) Like hidden=2 make the char unselectable and unrandomizable but do not hide the cell, allow hover cursor over just cannot choose and not showing in randomselect but can be opponent in the Arcade based on order=, as hidden=2 also does <style> </style>The Wins Count Parameters
Effects: 1) Unlike the previous parameter group, with these parameters effects like unselectable and unrandomizable is not needed, as it would trigger only based on the previous parameters, here it only displays the sprite based on number of wins/teamwins, 8 will be max to display 2) In System.def cell.wins1.spr = (sprite to display if in Select.def wins=1), cell.wins2.spr = (sprite to display if in Select.def wins=2), cell.teamwins4.spr = (sprite to display if in Select.def teamwins=4), cell.wins7.spr = (sprite to display if teamwins=7), 3) Overlapping sprites: I expect if wins/teamwins are displayed first or last in System.def, they will be on the top of the previous sprites from the previous parameters, if the icons are not clear, I will edit the sprites to make them fit, in all cases the sprites should be on top of the char portraits that are often group, index 9000,0
An Example Of Several Parameters Put Together If multiple sprites will display at the same time again, it will be up to how they are listed in Select.def, usually I will not have a char be boss and teamchamp at the same time or especially defeated and boss but if I do use them so, will just edit the sprites to have the icons show without overlapping. Select.def 
Suijin, order=6, boss=1
In Selection Screen: overlay icon added (from System.def cell.boss.spr =311,10) for boss=1 in Select.def, this char can be hovered with cursor but will not be selectable and randomselect-able but can be encountered in Arcade per order number. 
Flame, order=5, teamchamp=1, solochamp=1, wins=6, teamwins=7
In Selection Screen: overlay icons added (from System.def cell.solochamp.spr =1,16 then cell.teamchamp.spr = 1,20, then cell.wins6.spr = 1,25, then cell.teamwins7.spr = 1,30 ) for teamchamp=1, solochamp=1, wins=6, teamwins=7 in Select.def, this char can be hovered with cursor but will not be selectable and randomselect-able but can be encountered in Arcade per order number. This will be unlikely a single char to have so many wins and icons. 
Ryu, order=2, defeated=1, wins=3
In Selection Screen: overlay icon added (from System.def cell.defeated.spr =311,11 , then cell.wins3.spr = 1,22) for defeated=1, wins=3 in Select.def, this char can be hovered with cursor but will not be selectable and randomselect-able but can be encountered in Arcade per order number. The ‘defeated’ is to disable the char from getting played as for some time. This module is heavily dependent on adding the parameters properly in Select.def but these are changes that I make in the .def from time to time, thus why I find use in such module.

I read your other thread and this one, and I have to say this is way too complex to be native material. It’s something that would be much better handled in modules, especially if it’s meant to work together with the carousel module, The engine can’t adapt itself to a module the module itself should have that feature You can take my unlockCmd module as an example. You can actually draw icons with padlocks, or in MK’s case the MK dragon and stuff like that, but it’s not compatible with the carousel. Still, it might give you the idea |
Okay , thanks. Not the carousel but the Sliding Character Select module by Orange Dolphin. I will see it with modules. |

For commission accepting I added some clear doc what I need + updated here. CharacterSelectionChampions,Bosses,Defeated,TrophiesIconDisplayOnPortraits.pdf |
