Hitbox data for the shooters

[DarkslimeZ]

They exist for the fighting games, but what about the shooters? With as much experience as I have, I know basically what the hitboxes for the bullets are, but I think we could all benefit somewhat from the hard data.

Though, I'm not sure where to go about finding any of this stuff. Maybe someone with more knowledge of the data can tell me more?

Hardcoded into the exe, I'm pretty sure.

still, knowing the radius of the bullets would help for those complete geeks that like numbers. o.o

[DarkslimeZ]

Yes, but if you were to overlay a circle of said radius on the bullets, it would help greatly to avoid clipdeaths and such.

And besides, not all hitboxes are circular. >_> But I guess if they're hardcoded into the exe(as opposed to being listed in the same file as the actual sprites), it's no good, eh. Thanks anyway, guys~

It has been a while since I looked at this stuff and I only looked into UFO in any detail.  I didn't really get far into the lasers before getting distracted by other things.

All bullets were square (even though they could be rectangles), but sprite hitboxes were sometimes rectangles.

Hitboxes of bullets are probably specified in the ecl scripts.

Neato. But how can a hitbox be 3.5 pixels by 3.5 pixels? That seems just a little strange.

How the hell did you do this!?  That... that video is -awesome-.

No seriously, I want to see more.

So do I. For that matter, upload some stuff with proper hitbox sizes to somewhere other than youtube so we can see it.

Sounds misleading. Hitboxes are distance from center (circular, not rectangular), so if something is < x pixels away from you in any direction, you will die. Or this is how I always understood it, and it would actually be much more inefficient to calculate them as rectangular regions... So is this just a mistake or are hitboxes in Touhou seriously that fucking stupid?

Just because you can't really draw something in half a pixel doesn't mean the computer can't calculate it properly.

crashes on byakuren and st5 midboss nazrin's fake lasers, been too lazy/busy to look into fixing it for weeks
also th12 runs terrible on my laptop
