Nite Shadow is one of the many Oldbies of MFGG that registered in the EZBoard days of MFGG. Over the years he has created many libs and TGF/MMF applications (mainly How-to's) for MFGG and other sites such as SFGHQ. Nite Shadow left MFGG shortly after the first phpBB boards opened, but he returned in spring 2011 and is now one of the more active posters of the new MFGG forums.

Character

Nite is known for his bad grammar, so much so that he appeared in Super Mario Storm in a level where you had to correct his grammar mistakes. Nite Shadow also generously help MFGGers if they send him a private message, AIM, or e-mail.

Hoaxes

Nite is also known for creating many hoaxes, mainly Sonic based. Not all his hoaxes are of good quality however, but he is probably the top hoaxer of MFGG with several hundreds of hoaxes on his website. Since w00ty.com went under, Nite has lost almost his entire collection of hoaxes. What remains can be found on his DA page. http://niteshadowthehoaxer.deviantart.com/

Re-texturing

A process involving taking the individual colors of 16 bit graphics and applying a texture. Applied to many of Nite's Hoaxes. [1] And a few SFGHQ libs.

Screen hoaxes

Basically, a photo of a hoax being displayed on a screen, generally a TV screen: Re-textured tidal tempast TV screen hoax.

However, Re-textured ice mountain GBA screen hoax If it has a screen, and is within Nite's arsenal, he WILL use it for a hoax.

Self insert Hoax

Placing your own fan character within a hoax Nite claws the crap out of an egg capsule.

Works

A.I. engine

Wile looking at the Platform movement object for MMF1 Nite had the idea to set randomized counters and collision boxes. The end result ended up being an effective A.I. MFGG download page

Lightening storm effect

This effect went through some tweaking, Setting randomized counters for the Strike delay First attempt was not able to scroll with the level, MFGG download page

A short time later another was set up, Utilizing more objects but still keeping the randomized strike delay. The end result was a lightening storm that could be used in an actual level. MFGG download page

Mode 7 Camera Centering

When making this tutorial Nite fully expected MMF to crash, Setting "zoom in" and "zoom out" in the same Event. However, the end result was The camera had focused further into the mode 7 frame. MFGG download page.

True Timed clock events

After figuring out how to retrieve clock data Nite set up a tutorial showing one of the many uses

Fan character

Nite's fan character started as a simple tails Re-color During the EZBoard days of MFGG Thunder Dragon made an Avatar request thread, Nite requested "A blue Tails with claws"

Nite later made a life icon That had the blue tails with glowing red eyes.

Later Thunder Dragon made a sprite sheet of Nite, which had all of tail's basic animations, a bit taller, and even had the claws and red eyes.
