Title: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Every CS member
Waited since September
For a spooky expansion
With many a haunted mansion
Now they have their wish
But what's this; a fish?
No, that's a tree!
A tree made for glee?
What's it doing here?
This is no place for cheer!
We're making Christmas this year?!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Thaaaaaat's right! The Halloween expansion this year doesn't cover just Halloween; it also has Christmas!
Now you may be asking yourself "Why?" Short answer is because I can. The [slightly] long[er] answer is that although Halloween has historically had decent turnouts [except for last year but we don't talk about last year] Christmas never really did.
In fact, Christmas has only had one or two expansions in total. That's lame! So now we're fixing that by bundling it up with Halloween and releasing one big mega holiday pack.

So, what can you contribute to or expect from this expansion?
Skins!
Make a skin of your favorite robot master dressed up as something else, something spooky, or maybe snug as a rug in a bug wait in some fancy winter clothes!
Or just put a wreath around Plantman again. Good skin, 10/10 skin.
Maps!
Do you make maps? Do you like Halloween? Do you like Christmas?
Well buddy do I have news for you! You can submit a Halloween themed map, a Christmas themed map, or a Halloween and Christmas themed map to this!
What counts as Halloween or Christmas themed? Make it spooky! Make it snowy! Make it candy! <--- This could fit for either holiday!
Just include some vague level of relevance to the holiday in your map, and all will be good!
Also, much like the two years ago, you have full creative freedom! That means custom music, custom textures, dynamic lights, darkness settings, and custom actors!
Just don't put new weapons on there, because that'll mess with one of the big points of this pack, which is...

Compatibility!
That's right! This pack will no longer arbitrarily lower the brightness in every map ever or replace a whole bunch of actors to put dynamic lights on them!
The main reason I'm doing this is to actually let people play on these maps for longer than a week upon release!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now, you may have heard that the MM8BDM Extender Medal was retired recently.
What's this mean for this expansion?
Well....
(http://cutstuff.net/forum/Themes/bluebird/images/medals/badge29.png)
Say hello to the Haunted Holiday medal that will be awarded to participants in this expansion!
To get this snazzy medal just contribute an acceptable piece to the expansion and you'll get it when the expansion is done!
When's it done?
Glad you asked!

The deadline for this expansion is December 9th!
This should give people ample time to get their stuff in before then.

In addition, this pack will include the best-of previous Halloween and Christmas expansions*, and as usual, the skinpack will be updated upon release!
*Some best-of maps may be removed in case they are in use/planned to be in use in other map packs.


Good luck everyone, and have Happy, Haunted Holidays!

Chilling!

Since I already have a Halloween map in here it seems, I may as well sign up for a map on the Christmas ends of things.
Both because it's fitting and to kinda redeem myself for some of my own personal failures running Holiday Deathmatch beforehand.

I'll keep y'all updated.

Let's just say that it will BEE a good one.

I might be able to submit the freshly polished Alucard Bass skin to this since the one that we got in the old expansions was severely broken. Maybe Cutman Voorhees too.

Hmmmm ... I've started on an Halloween skin just yesterday ... Very good timing. But it's sad ... So sad Xmas didn't get much love. Which is quite paradoxal since Xmas seems to be more celebrated than Halloween in my area.

So here's the Halloween expansion.

Was going to contribute a super spooky map, though there really isn't any Christmassy factor to it. Good thing the regulations can allow that. I'll see if I can succeed with it, so count me in!  :)

I do hope it'll be okay to use an 8-bit remix of a lyric based song though.  Tell me if it's a major issue.
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Totally fine.
Also, if there's going to be a discord for this [there won't be], I would have made it.
Seeing as I'm running the expansion.

Sweet! I made 2 skins for this year's Halloween expansion ahead of time. I didn't know about the additional Christmas theme, but if I get the time I'll work on one of those, too.

Magneto Man (https://www.dropbox.com/s/u4jhqr49kiqegvh/Magneto%20Man.pk3?dl=0)

(http://i.imgur.com/FWmowTg.png)
Gravenant (https://www.dropbox.com/s/hbnfixsg8woupj0/Gravenant.pk3?dl=0)

They both have taunts, but please keep in mind that Gravenant's taunt is the Revenant screech from Doom 2. If anyone is uncomfortable with Gravenant's taunt being the Revenant screech, I'll change it.

I think you could probably shift the purples and whites on his shoes into blue and cyan.
Outside of that, looks decent enough!

It also has a taunt.
I might make a Reindeer Centaur Man, or maybe a Grinch skin like the unfinished Grinch Flashman from 2013, but I'm not sure yet.

Don't worry about Reindeer Centaur Man, he already exists from a previous holiday expansion.
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Post by: Korby on October 16, 2016, 02:06:36 AM
Brash, I think you need to take some more time to polish the skins.
The concepts are amusing enough and acceptable, but the general quality of the sprites needs some work.
Magneto Man's cape isn't the same length in all the directions, his arms vary in length depending on the direction, the sprite gets fairly messy with the purple splashed everywhere, and the cape looks like a solid piece of plastic; not to mention that there are no differences between standing and moving frames.

Gravenant mostly just suffers from heavy consistency issues. Make sure anything that moves in one angle moves in another [an example being that his body doesn't move up and down in his front or side frames and the back frames it moves differently]
I also think he could benefit from using Gravityman's actual walk-cycle so that his upper body moves a little during it.

Gutscracker is the best of the three, but its main problem lies in offsets. The skin jumps around randomly during animations and it's very jarring.
He also suffers from consistency issues, where he doesn't bob up and down whatsoever in his back walking frames and bounces up and down at very strange angles in the other angles.

Just go through and try to clean up anything I've listed, and see if you can find more stuff. I'm sure it'll turn out well!
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Post by: Brash Buster on October 16, 2016, 03:42:25 AM
All right, I made some changes to Gutscracker:

Download (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7qgqzjhyny1j1lv/Gutscracker%20%28Version%201.5%29.pk3?dl=0)
-Fixed Front-Side animations (X8X2) and Side-Back animations (X6X4) so that one arm doesn't have the same shape as Guts Man's old arm (Wow, that's embarrassing)
-Added gray to the legs in frames H5 and H6H4 (Wow, I guess I was a little too eager to get this out.)
-Did some tweaking to frames B5 and D5.
-Bobs up and down in all his frames (It seems the Guts Man skin in vanilla has fluctuating GFX offsets, which my first version didn't.)

I'll get to work on Gravenant later.
Okay, here's Gravenant:

Download (https://www.dropbox.com/s/2c25lsxr155j99f/Gravenant%20%28Version%201.5%29.pk3?dl=0)
-Bobs up and down properly (35 pixels tall on frames B and D, 36 on frames C and E)
-Shooting animations are now a consistent height (They are 34 pixels tall from all angles)
-Cannons are now always 7 pixels tall (They originally fluctuated between 7 and 6 pixels)
-The Front-Side frames now look more accurate to the changed body frame of the front (I don't think I needed to do this with the side, side-back, or back frames)
-Side frames are changed so the cannon on Gravenant's other side can be seen behind his head
-Cannons are slightly less of a cylinder shape on the back to explain why one is fully visible on the side frame but only partially visible on the side-back frame
His arms are still always lifted, because I wanted him to look unnatural and aloof, like he never lets his guard down.

I think I'm actually going nix Magneto Man altogether, though. I'm not sure how to handle a flowing cape for 4 frames, and I don't feel like he fits in. I know it's OK for skins to be dressed up without a specific Halloween theme, like last year's Shovel Knight Enker, but something about Magneto Man just feels very unfitting. I guess I was too eager for the pun that I didn't think it through enough.

I do have two Halloween skins from last year though (one of them was even on the image for Halloween 2015, when my interest in MM8BDM was low), and I might make a Grinch-related skin, now that G&Wer has informed me about the Reindeer Centaur Man being taken.

I was wondering when the halloween event would come around. Guess I should submit my (first) skin for it...

Behold! The CD-I horror of...

Morshu BombMan!

(http://i.imgur.com/n4j4UtD.png)

Download (https://www.dropbox.com/s/fbpyh694hqc7oot/Morshu%20BombMan.pk3?dl=0)

Comes in two flavors (alongside custom taunts and classes compatibility), the first of which has his pants and hat be blue and cyan respectively, and the other makes his pants and hat green for authenticity.

Any changes and suggestions are welcome.

I'm not quite sure what that's supposed to be.

On an unrelated note, though, it's [was] Halloween! Hope everyone's having fun making their holiday contributions!
Just thought I'd mention that I haven't heard too much chatter about new maps (I know of at least three[?]), so please let me know if you plan on contributing one! I'd definitely appreciate it!

If you're having trouble coming up with a theme for your map [or skin!], maybe look for something more snowy? Most (all) of the content that will be recycled from earlier expansions is Halloween, so the Christmas side of things is certainly lacking.
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!

Well, here's a silly thing that I thought up earlier this evening, hehe

Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Post by: Brash Buster on November 07, 2016, 05:32:15 PM
Korby's probably busy with other stuff. Even after I submitted improved versions of Gravenant and Gutscracker, the list of skins said "Nothing Yet" for a while.
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Post by: Korby on November 07, 2016, 07:33:57 PM
I updated it recently.
I didn't put Vorhees on the list because none of the older things are on the list.
You're free to continue updating it if you want.

As a note, Molly, I was already doing something very similar with Brightman.
(http://i.imgur.com/Fg0QvH6.png)
I'll still put yours in if I don't end up finishing it but just know that that's the case.

I'm also making a Concreteman one so if you could fix his skin soon that would be fantastic
Title: Re: [EXPANSION] The Nightmare Before Christmas!
Post by: Jacy the Subpar Mech on November 07, 2016, 07:41:00 PM
Since the Christmas part needs more love, I've decided to start a skin to contribute. (Since I have no experience with maps...)

It's Christmas Angel Shade Man!
(http://i.imgur.com/G0CsIya.png)

I thought I could use some feedback and criticism before I go further with it.

Because I would probably go insane if I had to edit all of the sprites after I did them.

Hey, guys!
So, in my infinite wisdom I decided to schedule the deadline riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight around finals week.
Woops!
Knowing that there are still a few maps that are planned to be made, but can't be worked on [or won't be done] for at least a week, I'll be extending the deadline to 11:59 PM EST Friday, December 16th.
Sorry if you were super hyped about sinking your teeth into the content on the weekend of the 9th, but there wouldn't really be a lot of content to sink your teeth into, so I hope you understand!

Progress Report on my Halloween map, Still needs a little work here and there for textures, and I haven't placed the items and stuff yet, but the map is going pretty dang good, and it took a heck of a lot of work to get the textures to look right.

Got super spooky, and pretty bloody with this one, as it's inspired by the Corpse Party series because I recently watched my older bro play through some of it.

The map is equipped with holes you can fall through, some of which lead to bloody broken planks of wood sticking straight up (not a good way to go at all) and even it's own room made of flesh. What do you guys think? Anything that looks like it needs work?

I must say I did not expect a Corpse Party map at all. So it was a good surprise.

The rooms' architecture doesn't seem boring and the various landmarks such as traps, bloodstains, red carpet ... mean a big map wouldn't end up as a confusing maze.

The best part about it is your personal texturing which is rather recognizable. It gives this uncanny feeling which is totally appropriate for this map.

I'm looking forward to it.

Quick question just to make sure, but when I post my map for this, should I just stick the download link here or should I send it to someone specifically?

So I sorta overestimated how much I had to do over this weekend (nothing apparently), so I ended up doing the remaining frames for Angel Shade Man over the span of Sunday.
If you see anything wrong that I should change, please alert me so I can update it as soon as I can.

I also updated Morshu Bomb Man so the name of his alternate skin wasn't as long, this also fixed an issue that caused the alternate to be unable to use his taunts due to the name being too long.

Sorry I couldn't answer your question, Duora, I was busy pretty much the entire day.

Just PM it to me.

Frick, I don't think I'll be able to finish Bluster Rod. G in the next 13 minutes
would it be perfectly acceptable if i submit it only a few minutes late?

I think that'd be okay.
It'll take me a little while to bundle everything together anyway.

Speaking of which, submissions are now Closed!
Thanks to everyone who contributed this year! I really appreciate those of you who got something done in time.
Please be patient as I start putting everything together! I'll have Mike hand out the medals when I've got the wad ready to go.

Nightmare Before Christmas released!

Get NBC8bdm-v1a.pk3! (http://allfearthesentinel.net/download?file=nbc8bdm-v1a.pk3)

Dropbox Mirror! (https://www.dropbox.com/s/1ivasjt6t11yka8/NBC8bdm-v1a.pk3?dl=0)


Get the Skin Pack! (https://www.dropbox.com/s/e3rjoizkma1ebfw/NBCSkinpack.pk3)

Thank you to everyone who contributed! The new maps and skins are all pretty good I believe, and the refined selection of previous maps and skins should be a bit higher in quality than before.
If your map or skin was cut, then don't worry! You can always tweak it and submit it at any time!

Enjoy playing, guys! It was fun to put together, and here's hoping it's played for longer than a week.

So here's the full list of everything in here.

And one last thing....
(click to show/hide)
The return of Snowball Fight from the original Mega Holiday Pack!
The gameplay is mostly the same with some alterations to the snowball projectile and graphics.
The main difference comes from the ability to use it in any mode, not requiring buckshot to work.
Instead, you simply need to set the svar nbc_snowballfight to 1 and there you go! Next round, you'll be chucking snowballs at each other.
It pretty much just replaces your megabuster, so you can still throw Super Arms and whatnot at each other if you want, but for maximum effect play it in LMS or other weapon token-less modes.

Also, it theoretically causes no compatibility issues, so you can still load the mappack with classes or other gameplay mods!
A huge thank you to Lego for porting this forward for me!

Hey everyone!  I sort of snuck my entry in when nobody was looking.  Recent travel's got my playtime all mixed up, so I don't know if this is already common knowledge (or if there's even a server yet), but there's actually a pretty big trick to my map.  I won't give it away, but here's a hint: at around the 80 second mark, a familiar face shows up.  Send him back to the grave to change the world forever.  The new content's pretty cool, though, and I'm looking forward to getting to play with it whenever I get the chance!

So uh, I'm kind of glad I stuck with breaks within seconds Bauble-Man.

This map pack is the largest evidence one could present AGAINST giving out medals for making maps.

Well maps generally take much more effort than skins, so what you see from the newest maps took hours of effort that should be compensated in some form. Having said all that, none of the new maps really caught my eye, but it makes sense when it's just for a holiday pack that won't see any playtime outside of December.

Oh you two~
Being silly around Christmas~
This pack is universal now, so it's treated like any other pack so it isn't limited to just October and December~
If you read the front post you would know that~

Oh hey, you combined the packs together, eh?  Suppose I might get a badge for a couple of my skins being in there, or is it just for NEW contributions? 

...I like badges.  :)

Please, Rozark, don't imply I have to play the same 3 mediocre swamp maps all year by mentioning "universal".

Post by: Mendez on December 25, 2016, 04:51:53 AM
Well Bik, if you expected high quality mapping, you'd need to consider that this pack was never about breakthrough mechanics and layouts, it was about being festive. If the map is good, then that's a plus, but these holiday packs have always been about finding ways to celebrate the holidays and give back to the community we're a part of. I was hoping to finish Polar Man from Mega Man Rock Force, but 16 credits worth of 400-level university classes ate up all my time. Maybe next year, or next time there's a festive community mapping event, I can throw something into the hat. If you're really bothered by Rozark's swamp maps (or basically any map Rozark has made), then you're welcome to post screenshots and discuss what you don't like. Either way, get in the festive spirit dude, this is a labor of love
