Update!: v2a is live

Changelog:

(click to show/hide)

- Hits are now based on the direction you were hit from rather than always throwing you backward (This was interesting to code, lemme tell ya)
- Rapid hitting weapons will no longer toss you back on the first hit, instead all the damage stacks and the resulting total is used (might be nerfed in the future)
- Rewrote the double tab script to hopefully be a bit better under laggy conditions.  Double jump now requires a single jump press in the air.
- Air dash now has slightly upward thrust when used.
- Dash speed now based somewhat on character speed.
- Double jump based on character Z Jump attribute.
- Points in timed mode altered:  Any death takes a point, not just self deaths.  Basically just mirrors Smash Bros in it's scoring method.
 

So what happens when you take MM8BDM and apply the rules of Smash Bros? Well, you get this mod!  

The mod plays as such:

(click to show/hide)

- Hits will send the player backward and upward.  Strong hits will apply immediate force, akin to Smash Attacks.  Weaker attacks will not move the player, but can rack up damage quickly (damage bonus) and eventually push the player back.
- Players can double tab UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT and JUMP to boost in that direction.  This is a bit lag dependent, so lower ping does help.  Only two actions can be performed in the air before landing. (Ex. Two Jumps, Dash + Jump or Two Dashes)
- Players die if they fall off the stage, are hit too far off the stage or come too close to a skybox after being hit.
- Points are tallied and shown every time you die and at the end of the match along with the match winner
- Deathmatch/TDM with Time are supported as the "Timed" mode
- LMS with Stock is supported (With or Without a time limit)
- TLMS is not officially supported, but it does work sorta.
- Music is a mix of 8 bit and non-8-bit music because why not.
- Thanks for SmashBro, Ukiyama, Nemu, Megaman, Ivory, CutmanMike and Rozark for letting me include (and occasionally mutilate) their levels in this mod.[/list]

On a side note: Any map that has pits and a skybox can technically be played in this mode.  The perimeter kills won't work, but sky and pit kills work as well as 255 damage hazards.

Ah, so it's finally been released!
I really enjoyed this mod during its testing days, and really, the only complaints I had were the fact that the dashes were rather finicky, (dunno how much you can do there) and the mod results paired with the regular gamemode victory text at the end of a battle can be conflicting and confusing. (i.e by Smash rules, Player 1 is the winner. But Player 3 has more frags, so Deathmatch labels him as the winner. These two things showed up at the same time, so yeah.)

The dashes things have bothered me too in previous experience. Double tapping direction doesn't seem much reliable, so may I suggest an interaction where BT_CROUCH While holding a certain direction does the dash instead?

[Rozark]

Was this only just now released because I mentioned it not being released in the mapping chat?
Either way, great job.

YUSS! The best mod is finally released!

Is putting up screenshots really that difficult? You will definitely get more downloads if you had screenshots.

because no one has played smash

because no one has played mm8bdm

because he didn't tell you exactly what happens in the mod

[cybersavior]

Have you thought about making a single use instadeath super weapon that is assembled from 3 parts(as done in smash), it would be not too difficult using code already in zandronum, also when a player dies have the game detect if a player has any of these pieces , if so they will drop them at that point for others to pick up.

[SmashTheEchidna]

The only thing about them dropping the items after dying is that the only way for someone TO die is to go out of bounds. The items will more than likely fall into pits and you'll have to wait for them to respawn, provided they have that kind of coding.

I had an idea of some mugen pack addons for this (SSB pack, Street fighter pack, pokemon pack, even come up with origianal moves for a megaman pack) Just need some alternate attacking sprites

And the best part of the idea is, the host can add whatever pack they want. the mod itself doesnt really add any special class bases or anything so compatability shouldent be too hard

Would it be possible to play Time matches with infinite time? The actual Super Smash Bros. games let you do that.

[ice]

closest thing I could do to that was time limit 100, I doubt a team match with stock would take an hour and 40

I could do that, but I can't imagine too many scenario's where that would actually be enjoyable.  LMS (Aka Stock) is playable without a timelimit, so there's that at least.  I'll look into it.  With the advent of new EVENT ACS functions I want to see what else I can add.  On a side note: I noticed I did the scoring wrong.  In actual Smash bros, ANY kind of fall will take a point away.  I made it so any SELF death takes a point, but normal falls don't.  My question is, should I change the scoring so that it's more like Smash or keep it like it is.

I second this.

Bump for new version.
