MBPX, a mod aimed at small scale MM8BDM!

[Muzaru]

Hi, if you're reading this... Then you might like MM8bdm or mods... or even... MM8BDM mods! 8DDDD
Then there is a good chance that you have come to the right place!

This is... MBPX!

A mod that wants to make you feel good about using all the weapons, by introducing a few new elements to our favorite Mega man first person shooter these include.
A few of these may not be so new.
-Hurting the effectiveness eating contests.
-Improving the performance of less used weapons.
-Adding a risk to using common weapon combinations.
-Speeding up the general pace of small scale MM8BDM. (I hope)

I hope to see players come up with crazy strategies, and hopefully this makes MM8bdm a bit deeper.

Changelog- Vanilla to 1a

(click to show/hide)

Overall-

   -Running Backwards is now slightly slower than running forward
   -Health pickups no longer heal you instantly(with the exception of Eddie), and Big Health slows the player down while healing them.
   -Many weapons also have a window where you can swap weapons almost immediately after firing.
   -Many weapons also have higher amounts of slowdown and some even have A_Stop in their painstates.
   -Collision boxes have all been adjusted to fit the sprite of the projectile projectile they are displaying.
   -Additional Obituaries for specific parts of attacks (Guts debris, firestorm hug, Mirror Buster, etc)
   -Armor system for slightly reducing damage of attacks(-25% damage from atomic fire if you are using atomic fire, or -20% if you are using Bubble Lead. This also works the opposite way, for up to an additional 35% damage. Air shooter will deal 35% more damage against Crash Bomb, 25% less against itself and 20% less against Leaf Shield.

Weapons-
   
   Mega Man 1-

      FireStorm- (Firestorm Shots)Now a low damage ripper with a large collision box
            (FireStorm Barrier) Visuals have been changed, now rapidly hits for very low damage.
      Hyperbomb- The explosion now hits multiple times, takes a moment to expand to its full radius. Can now also be aimed, and has increased range.
      SuperArm-  The grouping on the debris has been spread out a little.
      IceSlasher- Slows the target by a large margin for a few seconds.
      TimeSlow- Increases the user's speed by 50%, can be forcefully interrupted with electricity based weapons.
      OilSlider- speed can be altered with directional input, doing so forces your remaining time on an oil sled to decrease faster. Made slightly harder to control, oil pools now cause enemies to

slip.
      ThunderBeam- Damage on melee ranged shots decreased and consistency decreased, maximum damage on perfectly aligned shots increased.
      RollingCutter- Maximum damage slightly decreased. Banked shots still often result in a one shot kill.

   Mega Man 2-
      
      AirShooter- Damage per tornado reduced, can still kill with two uses of +attack. The projectile will no longer die when it hits the floor.
      AtomicFire- Damage on half and full charge reduced, the full charge will rarely fail to kill, unless the target is also using Atomic Fire.
      BubbleLead- Climbs down walls and moves a little faster, damage reduced a little can also be aimed.
      CrashBomb- No longer locks a target in place during the explosion, only when hit directly by the projectile, 3 consecutive shots kill, whereas 2 and one miss can result in a 4 shot kill.
      LeafShield- Now deals damage around the user, also fires off automatically if you are moving when the extra ammo bar depletes.
      MetalBlade- Damage slightly reduced.
      QuickBoomerang- Now auto curves upwards while on the ground or downwards while in midair.
      TimeStopper- requires you to fill it with ammo before you can use it, you no longer lose it after using it however.
      
   Mega Man 3-
   
      GeminiLaser- Is pretty much the same. 8D
      HardKnuckle- Now holds the user in place and quickly gains speed, ignores all barriers(Junk shield) and defense buffs...other than the weapon armor thing listed above.
      MagnetMissile- Now only homes in for a split second after the user releases +attack button(Think Drill Bomb).
      NeedleCannon- Hud now shows the influence of the spread on each shot when fired.
      SearchSnake- when they are fired at the ceiling, they will fall, also slightly faster and can be aimed.
      ShadowBlade- Returns when it hits a wall, damage reduced a little.
      SparkShock- Can no longer lock other players in stun with consecutive shots, can be cancelled sooner.
      TopSpin- only consumes a little ammo per whiffed use, will use ammo for every time it deals damage to an opponent, also can ignore most painstates.

      DustCrusher- Has a small delay before the bits spawn movement speed decreased. Damage on bits has been increased, damage on the large shot decreased.
      FlashStopper- No longer blinds targets... If an enemy is aiming at you, you lock them down for about 3 seconds, you can only use the megabuster during this period.
      PharaohShot- No longer deals radius damage, can be cancelled before firing. Pharaoh hold no only deals very high damage to those above you.
      RainFlush- The pod can deal damage. The radius hits even more, the radius grows depending on how high the pod gets before hitting an obstacle, or the ceiling.

   Mega Man 5-
      
      ChargeKick- Aerial ChargeKicks no longer give you a boost of momentum forward, but can be cancelled quickly after firing. Grounded ChargeKicks end faster after hitting a target, but lock the user in forward momentum and on the ground.
      CrystalEye- About the same. 8D
      GravityHold- Deals more damage to grounded targets than aerial ones, pops enemies upwards.
      GyroAttack- No longer splits into two shots, just redirected left/right depending on which direction you are strafing(no direction will cause it to travel forward). More damage on redirected

shots.
      NapalmBomb- A little more range, a little less damage.
      PowerStone- Does not spread out as much.
      StarCrash- Will block a single shot and no longer has a time limit, but will disappear when it is hit. It makes the user immune to radius damage while active.

Wow, you really modified each single weapon?
Some of them act more NES-like (Hard Knuckle). Were you aiming for making the weapons more likely to the original games?
I've started some time ago, a mod that modifies MM8BDM, so it plays more like 2D NES than FPS. Looks like it's going to be unfinished because I'm lazy, so I could give it to you if you want it.

[beta]

I don't know what I'm thinking right now.

[SickSadWorld]

I just got around to looking at this. Some very cool ideas! I really like your approach to health.

I won't call this a "compatibility update" since Flame Blast HUD is broken and some colours seem off, but it runs in v4a!

Some ideas are really cool (specially hardknukles, bassbuster, Iceslasher and Eddie)
But i dont know how it can works in DM.....must see!
I like how it looks like more like the NES games!

EDIT: Im testing it and i like it, it's like "canon =D
EDIT2: I opened a server for it, if you want test it, guys! :: [BE] New York :: MM8BDM V4a-MBPX (NES) mode! : 108.61.83.66:15057
EDIT3: I will wait a new version with mm&b weapons (if there will be...)
I dont know if it's totaly compatible, i hope yes...
