To those who use Doomseeker - Please run the launcher ONCE before you start joining games. It will copy your old skulltag settings to the new Zandronum format. Aren't we nice like that?

Changelog

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I've got to report some bugs.

1. You can't spawn in Cloud Man's stage. Like, at all. You just spawn into the instant death sky. This happened to me too when I tried to make a map with spawns on 3D floors.
2. For some reason, on most of the maps, the weapon energies don't change color.
3. There are some odd linedefs that don't have 255 lighting.

Other than that, though, can't complain. Top notch job with this.

1.  Can you explain what mode this is?  There aren't DM spawns on any 3D floors in Cloud Man's map (although there's a player 1 spawn).  I can't seem to replicate it.
2.  Online or off?  We were having problems getting it to switch online, but in our last few testing phases it was working just fine for everyone.
3.  Screenshots please?  I don't recall ever seeing any like this.


Oh, and yeah:  Mike told Ivory he wanted PU in from the very beginning from my understanding.  We were just pulling your legs :cool:

It sounds like there's something wrong with your video settings. I had a similar problem while playing SRB2 a long time ago. Are you able to hear anything when you start it up?

I lost the .txt with the RollComment. So I made up my own instead.

And the Crystal Man changes looked really, really ugly on many different color combinations, so it got reverted back.

Ah, I could have sent you the text again if you needed it. The roll comment is in my botchat thread so if you decide to insert my roll comment into the next update, there it is.

Yes, at the first time I thought it was a video/screen problem, but I'm not able to hear anything, and the sound was on on my V2C. I tried to blindly go to options > Video size by learning the pass from V2C, but it stays a black screen.

How are you launching the game?  Did you launch via the launcher or did you go to Doomseeker and try to connect to a server?  If you did the latter, odds are it's trying to run it on Skulltag which won't work with v3a.  You'll have to change your doomseeker configuration so it uses zandronum instead of Skulltag.

Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Stardust on December 21, 2012, 08:00:43 PM
Actually, it doesn't work from the launcher (I wanted to start in 1P campaign first because I have no friends hahahah ^_^) AND so, in Domseeker. Configured for Zandronum.
Through it worked correctly on another computer... so it's maybe a problem for the config. But I don't know how could I solve it.

EDIT : FIXED !
I installed the folder in a new place, out of my V2C folder. Works perfectly~ now I just need to search for myself, the config file which causes problems.
I'm coming on the server, guys :3

I've only managed to get up to Swordman in the campaign (lag issues for some reason), but really, what I've seen so far is really good! I'm loving this expansion! Especially those new colours, as it's about time we got those.

I don't like Thunder Claw that much yet, but that might just take getting used to. Other than that....

you know this is why you got so many entries right


I mean if the devs really want to wank themselves so badly why not an alternative artist badge?

On the subject of self-wanking, for this expansion I made the launcher art, Frost Man's skin, and something top secret!

Post by: Mr. X on December 21, 2012, 08:31:01 PM
You call it self-wanking.  I call it "I just worked a fucking year on this and you spent 20 minutes on a picture."  Either way, whatever.

EDIT:  For the record, I was just saying what I remember it being, I didn't care either way until you brought out the "Self-wanking" bull crap.

Hope everyone is enjoying the new Light Labs. I spent a total of 5 days in one week making the expansions, the weather gimmick, the Robot Master dialogue script and dialogue and updating various other things like Roll's Wardrobe and Auto's training. Just to make the main hub experience look amazing.

I have more planned for Light Labs. Both in upcoming numbered releases and new editions for version 4, so this is just the beginning. :)

Somebody PLEASE explain this


Step 1: Extract all of the MM8BDM v3a files into your old MM8BDM folder.
Step 2: Run the MM8BDM launcher. It will automatically copy all of the old settings from skulltag-User.ini into Zandronum-User.ini. It will only do this if you don't have a Zandronum-User.ini file inside your MM8BDM folder.

If you've been reset to default Zandronum settings, just close the game, delete the Zandronum-User.ini, and make sure your old Skulltag-User.ini file in in your MM8BDM folder before running the launcher.

I am proud of all of you who worked on this and very thankful as well, you made a crapton of good changes to the game and it all feels very refreshing. Sure I loved what MM7DW4 was before but this current map is really sweet as well. I'll miss the fans in Gyro Man's map, but the new easily accessible platforms help in catching up to the guy hiding with the Magnet Missile.

Don't take me the wrong way, I love the old gimmicks with all my heart, but these new changes are a blast to play.

I try to launch multiplayer, I get - "Script error, "MM8BDM-v3a.pk3:actors/player/megaman.txt" line 60:

I try to launch campaign, I get - "W_OpenLumpNum: 4294967295 >= NumLumps"

I could launch the campaign fine before I fused them.

Alternately, another method you can try is having all of v3a in its own folder and copying and pasting your skulltag-user.ini into the new folder and rename skulltag to zandronum

Where is Megaman hiding?

Alright, so I just tried this all out on single player. I'll breeze through this very quick. First impressions!

Stages - Nothing too gripping, yet. Most of them seem fairly standard, and the music doesn't really grab at me. Then again, that's Megaman 8's fault, not yours. However, there are a few things that I like with only a few minutes of playing. Astroman, Clownman, Tenguman, and Frostman's stages are all pretty interesting. Especially Frostman's for those sections in the corners~ Pure joy when I heard it!

Skins - The skins came out wonderful, but for some reason... Frostman seems to be a grade above the rest. There seems to be something more appealing about him than some of the other skins. Weird. Oh well, I'm not complaining.

Weapons - Alright, this is honestly the best part of this update. I have YET to find a weapon I dislike from this batch. Well done!

Updates - I'm a fan of the updated stages, graphics, and mechanics.

Overall - Well worth the wait!

I remember someone saying something that worded basicly saying the missing textures and songs "may" be added.
But that was months ago. I personally would have liked more textures to work with, considering they are actually in the games.
Also looking at the musics Wad, the MM5 final boss song isn't their, wasn't it used for Dark?
Also also, where is the final boss song from? I know it isn't MM8's.

I see what you did there.


Also, funny how the MM8 Expansion Mobile Roll skin DOESN'T conflict with my one...

Plus, Tengu's stage is really cool!
But every time I hear the 3rd peice of "music" for that stage, my ears bleed.

Can't there be a way to turn that 3rd "music" off? It makes me want to kill something.


Final question: Is there a way to make "Infinite Ammo" the default option? I hate having to keep going into options and changing it EVERY TIME I CHANGE A MAP.

It'd be neat to keep your Mega Man Killer weapons between sessions, but I'm fine without it.

I believe he's using a color scheme used by one of the weapons (probably Oil Slider itself) and there weren't any weapons that matched the actual color schemes.  As for the weapon's color scheme, that was the only one that looked good on the actual weapon (as in the projectile/board).

All right, so I checked out the new maps and weps...here is what I would consider the pros and cons of this expansion (spoilered since it does contain some minor spoilers in case people have not checked it out yet), but regardless of what I say, I enjoyed going through the new content, so excellent work on MM8.

Pros:
(click to show/hide)

Cons:
(click to show/hide)

And now...the one ugly comment I got to make, though I am sure you guys may not be able to resolve this: I still crash on the stages. In fact, I crashed a total of five times while going through the new maps. They were:

1. Starting to move in Dr. Light's Lab.
2. Entering Grenade Man's stage (the second time worked fine, though).
3. I crashed in Search Man's stage while walking around. This did happen after I used Thunder Claw to swing, but that was the only time I crashed after doing so. All the other times worked out fine.
4. I crashed while trying to move around in MMCTF16 and MMCTF20. The crash happened right after I started moving after joining a team.


So with the ugly comment aside, this expansion was well worth the wait. Granted not everything was perfect, but hey, you guys put a LOT more content into this than I was expecting, namely Powered-Up being officially part of the main game. You guys definitely deserve some time off for this effort, and I wish you guys the best of luck with what projects you guys plan to do later.

Hope everyone is enjoying the new Light Labs. I spent a total of 5 days in one week making the expansions, the weather gimmick, the Robot Master dialogue script and dialogue and updating various other things like Roll's Wardrobe and Auto's training. Just to make the main hub experience look amazing.

I have more planned for Light Labs. Both in upcoming numbered releases and new editions for version 4, so this is just the beginning. :)
right so I'm joining the "Ivory is a total broski" club now if you don't mind

Honestly, as ridiculous as it sounds, my favorite part of the entire expansion is the new Light Labs. I swear I must have spent a good half hour straight just talking to the original eight DRN robots, listening to their tips, weapon advice, and just generally silly banter about their lives. Bomb Man's comments on "bomb safety" were hilarious, but my favorite part is how you combined Elec Man's personalities from Powered UP (narcissistic flamboyant) and Archie Comics (the leader wanting to look cool for everyone else).

I've been playing the entire expansion over to see the new changes, so I haven't gotten to Mega Man 7 or Mega Man 8 yet, but even after clearing Gamma I'm honestly blown away. LlamaHombre and Korby can easily attest to my repeated "fangasms" in the Skype call, heh heh. The weapons, the revamped stages, the tightened physics, the improved bot code... everything in this build just seems very RIGHT. I'm getting this v1 feeling all over again, where the whole game is a brand-new experience and I can't wait to see what's around the next corner. Very very well done, you guys.

I only have one complaint, and it's about Beat Support. It's not a problem with the length, or the power, or even how it functions... No, it's about how it's placed on nearly half the damn maps in the game. I had this same feeling when v2 was released; for some unholy reason Mike thought it was fun to shove Freeze Cracker and Danger Wrap in every possible area, and seeing maps choke on Beat Support makes me really sad. Sure, it's a great alternative to Tango Roll or Treble Sentry, but do you really have to replace it in nearly every stage? Geezus guys, have a little restraint.

Other than the Beat Support spam, I can't find another gripe with v3. Easily the best and most professional version yet.
Hell, if it wasn't for Zandronum / Capcom legal rights you could get away with charging a pretty penny for this game, and personally I wouldn't think twice about buying it. Seriously. Mad props to all of you.

I'm sorry Ivory please forgive me for being so blind

Got a chance to play it more. So far I am very impressed with the musical composition and new map designs. It really does make this game feel fresh again and just about every change done on maps is an improvement.

The single player is where I feel is where it shines most. The new lab and the extended campaign are very well polished and it was interesting to talk to iceman and all the other robot masters after each chapter to see what they were going to say...well text I guess.

Multiplayer is always fun, it was good to see more than 20 people on a server. Very chaotic but fun in most cases.

The newer engine works times better than the other one, glad you guys switched up a lot of things.


Now the gripe that I do kinda of see is what smash had listed about the beat item. I can understand wanting players to try this new item out and it is a beast. But to have it on nearly every map seems a little odd to me to.

edit: Also I noticed some crashes every now and again. Mostly in the lab though I could be missing some other stages. I know it happened to me at least 3 times today. This might want to be looked into when you ladies and gentlemen have the chance.

I haven't beaten the final boss yet, (and it took me a little while to learn how to hurt him,) but all I can say about that is: I am SO making a "Super Smash" skin just for that one battle.

JUST A COUPLE QUICK THOUGHTS I HAVE AFTER FINISHING BULLDOZING THROUGH CAMPAIGN:

> New Light Lab looks great.  It's appealing, the weather works like a charm (Though snow seems to be a rather rare occasion), the level select stuff works great, and talking to the Robot Masters is fun if only to hear the nonsense they've got to say.  One thing I'd do, though--once you find (Or at the very least defeat) a Mega Man Killer, make their fight accessible directly from the stage select menu.
> Sticky Platforms...there is a God, and his name is CutManMike.
> Flame Sword on Elec-Man is useless; I can't see it being used practically at all.  It's out of the way, on a map that is very anti-melee, and overall it feels like it was there more so the new people coming in could see one of the new promised MM8 weapons.
> I'm gonna miss midair collisions on Gyro, but I know it's for the best.  Seem to be getting a tiny amount of lag on him and Cloud, though, even offline.  Can anything be done?
> Please, if we're going to keep the JUMP JUMP signs in Frost-Man's stage, can we use the 8-Bit sound effect in RM8FC instead of that horrible obnoxious voice?
> Boss was a little frustrating if you didn't know what to do, but once I figured him out, he was very nice.  Sets a new standard for MM8BDM bosses everywhere, if you ask me.  Though, it would've been nice to be able to fly up and down instead of having to hold and release spacebar.
> I'm in love with the I'mgettin'outtahere Wire Adapter.  Its usefulness, especially in high-ceilinged areas, cannot go unnoticed.  I sure hope to see it being used creatively in a lot of custom maps!
> Also really like the Buster Adapters.  They're just so good compared to the stock buster.
> It feels really hard to hit with Duo Fist's charged shot at close-range (At least in normal DM), but other than that, it seems like an alright weapon.  It'll be fun to run up to people and punch them repeatedly with the uncharged shot for a 4HKO.  ^_^

I'm going to venture a guess and say this was purely put there so Elec man could have his true colors (I just played the map in campaign and saw him with it and he looked awesome). Truthfully though, I don't see the harm in having a close-up weapon available as an extra means of attacking, especially if you're in a less chaotic mode.

I'm loving this so far, and wanna thank all the people who have put so much work into this expansion, because it really does feel like you put a bunch of work into not only adding new cool features, but fixing small little details and things that previously were thought/were for reals impossible (moving WITH platforms is blowing my mind).

This expansion is just, super super impressive. I'm still going to try out single player, but I look forward to doing some multiplayer soon too!

Don't quote me on this, but I think the reason they went with the original sound effect might be because anyone who hasn't played MM8 andor RM8FC wouldn't really understand why there's an obnoxious honking sound when you get on the jetboards.
Either that, or everyone figured the voice was less annoying.

Anyway, as for the expansion, this was some outstanding chili. I've beaten the campaign, and the boss was heart-stopping. I've never seen anything like it! The changes to the lab were absolutely fantastic, and all the weapons and maps seem to have been made with care and thoughtfulness regarding balance and weapon placement. The new palette made me cry with joy, most prominently because Software had been getting the short end of the stick for the longest while, so it was a welcome change for me.

Adding Powered Up content was probably my favorite change thus far, though I do prefer Oil Man FC's skin over the Oil Man included in the expansion. Oil Man's palette is also a bit wonky, but it looks really nice on Oil Slider.

There were a few things that irked me, though. Flash Bomb and Ice Wave seem a tad overpowered, given Ice Wave can be spammed to no end, cannot be jumped over, and rips pretty well. Flash Bomb is like a slower, more powerful Crash Bomb, which is good, but when you get caught in the blast, you're not getting out, which doesn't work too well with its damage output.

There were a few skins that irked me as well. Tengu Man, Sword Man, and GRENADE MAN to name them. Tengu Man seems a bit too tall compared to the rest of the robot masters, Sword Man's walking frames look more as if he's skating, and... Forgive me, but... Grenade Man's walking frames are just unacceptable. I understand those are his dashing frames, but at the speed the walking frames play, it makes it look as if he's, for lack of a better description, playing limbo upside-down.

However, the good parts of the expansion almost completely overshadow the more lacking parts, and I can say without a doubt that this is the highest quality expansion I have seen in all my time here on Cutstuff. Congratulations to the team on this fine release.

And as a bit more of a request, could somebody post an image of the new palette, numbered? I'd appreciate it.

Post by: ice on December 22, 2012, 03:46:00 PM
Welp, played some more through the game, while I share the pros with everyone else, a few things irked me that noone mentioned. Knight crush's icon just looks very out of place next to the other weapons, everything had a black back ground while you have the 1 weapon with a grey background with shadow. The you have *sigh* water balloon, this might of been due to that fact that I was playing on a server with weapon drops but, my god, this thing feels like it's everywhere, literaly every time I spawned I was instantly spammed to death by crossfires of water balloons, not to mention the sound it makes, it's like speeding up the megabuster's RoF and replacing the sound with a sped up nail scratching on a chalk board.

Anywho, now that the expansion's out, can we have a code number grid for the pallet?

That random crashing issue still seems to be persisting. I crashed on Tenguman's stage, Swordman's stage, before the final boss cut scene, and 5 times on Searchman's stage. For a stage to make me crash that amount of times when only trying to clear it once is just unacceptable. That map probably has a higher tendency to crash that others and it may need to be looked into more. Thank you so much for that new save system, as it made it much less stressful.

Also half the stages made me lag a bit for some reason, most notably Tengu, Sword and Aqua. MM8DW1 got hit by this hard however, so much that it made the stage unplayable, just like in Burstman and MM7DW1 where the extreme singleplayer lag forces me to nextmap it.

As for campaign boss:

Another thing that just came to my mind; why don't all of the skins have bots? Helmetless Mega Man, MM10 Slash Man, Alt-Ballade, and Bad Box Art Mega Man are the few that come to mind.

Also, what happened to the Car and Flying Drill skins? I couldn't find them in the main .pk3 file.

Actually very possible. Changing your height level is the key to dodging most of his attacks. Maybe he needs a tweak in the difficulty department though.

I honestly have no clue why that is.  The stage doesn't even have any special scripts other than to set up the death pits.  Maybe it's the amount of grapple hooks?  Something with your computer?  Really, no clue.

As for the final boss controls, I believe it's set up like that so you can move up and down while strafing.  If you had normal fly controls, you'd have to look up and down to move up and down instead of keeping an eye on the projectiles you're trying to dodge in the first place.

A few bugs that occured to me and I have no idea what happened:

-Enker would pick up Metal Blade and fight with it during his boss fight.
-The campaign skipped over the robot master refights and Gamma and moved to Freeze Man once, upon replaying Mr. X it worked fine.
-Once on Ice Man's stage, a Toad Man bot jumped unusually high for absolutely no reason

Besides that I love how this game's evolving and it feels all the more professional as I keep playing.

Almost sounds like the skill level was set higher. Bots tend to jump higher depending on their difficulty. I saw a bot jump about 2x high while playing campaign earlier today, though other times when the skill is really high i've seen them jump about 3-4 times higher.

Well, if you ask me, no sign or sound is needed to begin with, so why not use the 8-Bit sound?  Correct me if I'm wrong, but the reason that JUMP JUMP and SLIDE SLIDE existed to begin with was because there was little way to see what was ahead of you on Frost-Man's snowboard segment, so you needed those heads-ups to navigate.  Here the jumps are smaller and easy to see coming.  The notifications aren't really necessary--so why not use the 8-Bit sound?

No, because you have to use the Zandronum acs compiler now due to Zandronum specific ACS that isn't available in the old skulltag one.
You'll have to replace it with this compiler (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/33338072/ZandroACS.zip)

With Slade3, just go to Editor, Preferences. Open up the scripting tab and then click ACS and use the location of ZandroACS Folder.

Quote from: "CutmanMike"
Maybe he [the final boss] needs a tweak in the difficulty department though.
Don't you DARE make him easier in the slightest.

I played through the whole campaign again, and I was a bit disappointed on the absolutely massive nerf Wily Capsule 7 got in the health department. A fight that was formerly a test of endurance devolved into literally "dodge his shots and shoot him a bunch with Thunder Bolt four times". Sure, the old health might have been a bit on the ridiculous side, but this new health just makes Wily Capsule 7 sort of a pushover. I'm not asking for a reversion, but just a slight improvement.

Which brings me back to the matter of the Mega Man 8 final boss. Look, I understand he's hard, but that's sort of the whole point. I loved the challenge of the boss, and for me the initial confusion of "HOW DO I EVEN HIT HIM" got me thinking in a lot of different ways, trying to deflect his attacks or have him run into things on the stage or whatever else. When I finally did figure out how to hit him... well, I died that round because I was nearly out of health anyway, but the very next round I nearly got a PERFECT against the boss. I feel that once you know how to approach this boss, the difficulty really isn't that bad anymore.

Aside from maybe a very slight tweak in the boss's health, I wouldn't touch a thing. The sheer craziness and difficulty of the boss's attacks is what makes him so damn scary and awesome in the first place, and once you figure out the "blind spots" in each of his attacks it's really not hard at all.

Here's what I offer.

Bring back the boss rush room in a different fashion. It'll collect bosses as you move through the game, and will offer you both Normal and Hard bosses. Normal bosses are ones left in the campaign to allow for smoother continuation, while Hard bosses are excluded from the campaign, and will be stronger than they are. For example, current Met Daddy would be left in the campaign as the Normal Boss, while the original Met Daddy with stronger resistances would be classified as a Hard Boss and left optional. It'd allow for more easy playability for people who just want to breeze through the campaign but would give people who are into this new single player more to do.
PLEASE.

Here's what I offer.

Bring back the boss rush room in a different fashion. It'll collect bosses as you move through the game, and will offer you both Normal and Hard bosses. Normal bosses are ones left in the campaign to allow for smoother continuation, while Hard bosses are excluded from the campaign, and will be stronger than they are. For example, current Met Daddy would be left in the campaign as the Normal Boss, while the original Met Daddy with stronger resistances would be classified as a Hard Boss and left optional. It'd allow for more easy playability for people who just want to breeze through the campaign but would give people who are into this new single player more to do.
PLEASE.

I actually heavily approve this, as fighting the Original Wily #7 Capsule from V2B/C would be much more refreshing than jamming a couple of thunder bolts down his throat and sitting back and relaxing, or having Darkman4 use attacks from some of his previous forms as well. (Darkman3's paralyze shot anybody?)

W00t PU stuff. W00t MM8 stuff.

Not so w00t that you used that other OilMan skin. I always thought that the other TimeMan skin from the PU expansion was pretty good, maybe better than mine... but the OilMan just looks disturbing to me.

Whatever, people can use my version if they so choose, I suppose.

I gotta be totally honest though, the new Duo does look better. Could I ask where I could get the original spritesheet? The sprites look great.

This new release makes me want to skin again. I just need inspiration :/

Boss Rush is gone. The whole point of boss rush was to be able to fight bosses without beating the levels again. But now you can just select each boss from the stage select.

Now also considering the boss rush room was converted into a patio...

Not sure if this has been brought up before (it probably has :| ) but now that you save the game by level, is there a possibility to save the secret weapons you get? For instance, if I beat Ballade, then get to Plantman's stage and decide to quit, it'd be nice to be able to come back and still have his weapon (especially for the Chapter 6 final boss).

Quick question: I moved my MM8BDM files from my old computer to my new ones, but now the new weapon colors (atomic fire, drill bomb, etc.) aren't there. It's all the colors from v2. What I need to know is what file(s) control the weapon colors so that I can take it out of the zip file and re-extract it into my main folder (the problem was that I had some v2 files mixed with my v3 files right now so I need to replace the weapon color file w/ the v3 file)

The new wind storm is way too powerful. It's got high rate of fire, very high damage at medium to long range, a massive hitbox, and the ability to effortlessly chain together hits. If any of these factors were reduced, it'd be fine, but together, they make the weapon incredibly strong.

End of Game Spoilers (yes, I did beat it, at last):

With Single Player beaten, now I'll reappear online. Btw, might I mention I had a ton of crashes during Single Player, too? Sometimes they occur before a stage is completely loaded, and since the game does not save at that point...that was annoying to repeat stages, especially Aqua Man's.

If you can try to redo that as a png please. Cause it was first saved as a jpeg and will forever have jpeg quality even as a png now. If it can be redone completely to png quality those pictures will be more practical. See my Class Hub map for example, I first used that.

Oh also, maybe see about adding the missing 3 DOS bosses Blade, Wave, and Oil they are in the DOS expansion thread. Maybe even toss in Ra Thor if you wanna do a custom one.

If you believe so. Keeping in mind that I continued to deny any sort of PU into MM8BDM despite it being planned since the beginning. Then there's also denying Duo Fist being included despite the fact it was... :ugeek:

That's nothing.

I remember talking to a few people in a server about forming some sort of team and making the mm8 expansion ourselves, seeing as there was no proof of it being made.

There was 2 versions of Duo's theme, the normal which played when he was kicking giant robot ass and the battle version which played during the boss battle with him moments beforehand which was more fitting for a boss theme then the normal version, which that remix sounds more close to.

You probably should realize that MM8's music is a soundfont based soundtrack.

As I checked on one of those sound/music viewers for the PS1. There's a handful of tracks that shows its indeed following that way.

There's also some unused sounds in the disk itself.


And the cutscenes techinally use one huge mainstream sound [similar to like on how the wav method was] and bunch of images to make the animation. Before than, wavs were kinda the mp3s in the old days of game making and the ogg method hadn't happened yet.

The reason the music was different was because it wasn't using its soundfont stuff and it lead to possibilities for different sounding.

Post by: Mr. X on January 05, 2013, 08:01:51 PM
Duo's Battle theme simply didn't work in 8-bit.  Plus, like almost all of the MM8 original soundtrack, it was horribly dull.

I think the Oilman skin should be changed so the scarf covers his mouth like in the Archie Comics, otherwise I fear the pink lips could offend some sensitive people.

Plus he would look more menacing that way.

Not to mention one of his lines in Dr. Light's lab when the weather is snowy. Gah. On the other hand, I think his line where he complains about Frost Man would definitly fit there better.

Really? I haven't noticed it on the skin. I guess I should change what I was saying, to that it should be moved. It'd be a bit more noticeable that way.

EDIT: Just took a look, and wow... that is seriously easy to miss. It'd still look better covering his mouth.

what will you do once there are no more classic megaman games to make into expansions for MM8BDM?
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: tsukiyomaru0 on January 14, 2013, 05:00:10 PM
Let's see what they have left in the line:
Megaman and Bass (Called in code Megaman 8.5)
Megaman and Bass 2 (Not sure whether this is before or after 9)
Megaman 9
Megaman 10

Two or three games, depending on whether they make Megaman and Bass part of the line. And then there are the spin-offs:
Super Adventure Rockman
Rockman Strategy
Megaman DOS
Megaman GB to Megaman IV GB (Although these just recycles bosses)
Megaman V GB

Afterwards (taking in consideration or not the spin offs), I assume they would either stop updating it (except to adapt for changes in Zandronum engine) or start the X series. But, I don't really know, I'm not part of the team nor have I asked the Cutmanmike.

GB games are actually considered cannon. & Bass was actually ment to be what the classic series was going to become after MM8 (permanently) but that idea died with the game not leaving Japan originally and yes, is canon (look at MM9's ending, it shows Rock beat Wily 9 times prior, last one he had Magic Card's colors).

&Bass 2 supposedly takes place not too long after the first. Release date is 1999 one year after Megaman and Bass 1 and Super Adventure Rockman

SAR was released 2 months after M&B and is officially (in game) after 8.

Strategy was released in 2001 and was the final classic game released before MM9, it has to be after 8 cause Duo.

DOS is of course not within the normal timeline. But release dates put 1 between MM2 and 3, and 3 between 3 and 4 (or directly after 4 due to between the Jap and US releases of)

If all those get done then this will be a huge game that probably won't need to go anywhere else due to having pretty much more content then any FPS ever.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Donutyoshi on January 15, 2013, 06:26:06 PM
I only guess after Megaman 10. We could wait until Megaman 11 comes, and have it covered.

Other than that, MM8BDM would essentially be complete in covering all the mainstream classics.


Someone should totally make an expansion of Rockman Xover and Megaman X Street Fighter.

The old post talking about it appears to have vanished from the website, but I recall a post in CutStuff's blog where CutManMike would like to oversee "fan games, rom hacks, etc etc" being put into the main game after the main series is completed (Then proceeded to talk about how MM8BDM couldn't pay his bills and he wanted to make a game that could and such).

So effectively after all is said and done from the canon, we're supposed to work on everything over here (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=37) (Sans the official game expansions, of course).

Speaking of which, has anyone tried all the different values to see what different things Dr. Light has to say? In the Mega Man 8 section, he has at least three different things to say depending on your progress through it (while playing through the Robot Master maps, he mentions a meteor crashed and he sent it to Dr. Cossack, and when you reach the Duo stage, he says something different, and when you get to the Wily Tower stages he says another thing).

I can confirm (since I did those) that other than MM8, he only repeats the same thing for each game. The only reason I did that for MM8 was because the first message would make no sense once you got to Duo and beyond.

I don't contribute much to this forum AT ALL. I have made some stuff (Find the RM Mappack, Rockman Grayzone Music Pack), but overall, I can't say I've contributed to MM8BDM. I know how you feel, but the desire to contribute has to be followed up by action. You've gotta build a reputation by contributing to smaller expansions and stuff to start with, then, if people are pleased by your work, you might snag a spot in higher expansions. If you work hard enough and accept criticism from the cutstuffians here on the forum, you could potentially be on the MM8BDM team. As I said before, the desire to contribute has to be followed up by action, and it's no cakewalk.

Is a badge really so important? Isn't having your name in the game enough? Or better yet, just the knowledge of contributing even something minor (not saying it was just an example). Is showing off so important the it clouds your pride?

Well...it's not nice to be lied to. I shoved Arcane in there for the sake of getting that badge. It was an open opportunity and I took it. Had I've gotten the badge, I'd feel a bit more accomplished every time I log into this accursed place. As if I finally did something that no one would a rat's ass about. It'd look nice next to this other medal I've been constantly wishing I never had. But I guess sometimes people who can't control their own avarice are easily outwitted by those who can.

I'm such a suck-up for believing this malarkey.

And I was like huh to see Cutmanmike PM me with the medal now. Not really going to complain or anything similar. I'm not really a guy who'd go crazy for credits, unless it's something I spent a rare long time on and was a pain to finish.

Making another Medal is kinda silly, and this credits thing seemed like the only way for the community can contribute for the MM8 Expansion actually. The MM8 Expansion team was [mostly] a closed group.

Not exactly closed.  Well, the main core group was by invite only but other contributions were taken in if they were posted in the bugs and suggestions.  It helped if the person actually created what they were suggesting (the bot script by Beed and the sticky platforms by Jax for example)

Just saying; if you want a shot at getting into the dev team or getting some of your work into the game, a good way to start is to just post examples of your work.  That's how I got in this mess.  I made and showed Mega Man 9 and 10 skins while the core game was still being worked on.  They were bad at first, but they started to improve.  I also said that I had Photoshop...and that's kinda useful for making tilesets.

I vaguely recall that being how The Broker gained his monopoly on botchats as well.  He just started making them and then improved them with criticism.

To make it more useful as an item. If you want, you can still shoot it straight up by aiming straight up, iirc.

Is Wire supposed to be a UseItem or a mock Weapon? The very first time I even used Wire was with the knowledge of how it specifically worked in Megaman 4. When I tried to use it, it didn't even work because I was "too close to the wall" since it spawns slightly foward as I previously stated. SO is there any way that Wire can be patched to work exactly like how Wire worked in 4?

Y'know, since ya made the majority of all the game's weapons "work" like how they did in the game.

But then Wire would be pointless to have added, seeing as rush coil gives you straight up force. Wire would be the same thing with the ability to reach higher, 2 uses, but the inablility to be used under S_Sky (aka skybox ceilings).
I say leave Wire as is. It is actually more useful this way.

By the way, I'd meant to ask this a long time ago, but why was Charge Kick altered? Before when you kicked, it just plain gave you a forward boost; Now when you kick, your movement is temporarily locked while you move forward. It feels very limited, and though I'm used to it now, it threw me off greatly when V3a first came out and I had to remaster using it.

(I probably could have worded that better. :| )
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Donutyoshi on February 01, 2013, 03:51:23 AM
To make it more accurate to the games why of doing it. Since you attack by Sliding and its tweaked to work similar to slide. Although, there never was a Slide abilty in Vanilla MM8BDM.

Charge Kick in V2 and prior was more of a Mid-Air boost from my way of using it rather doing on how it orignally was.

That reminds me. If I recalled correctly. Before the SGC Demo, CMM did stated that the weapons were different and the maps were too.

MM1GUT was ridicously huge and there was nothing but Megaman skins.

See, I was assuming this as well. I figured it'd be similar to the hookshot, but with more liberties (then again, I also expected Thunder Claw to work like a ninja rope). I figured it'd be nice in the way that it would be a great hail Mary if I'm falling into a pit, but thinking about it now, it would break a lot of maps horribly, and not just the ones they appear in by default.

You know, open a crowded DM (Bots won't count) MM8BDM server, put the game to run in the background and move your cursor around the desktop. The cursor will make sudden "Jumps" whenever a peak of data happens in the game. That is the problem. It seems to relate with the energy colors script.

Kinda late but, it seems that because the actor numbers changed, some props in CSCM also changed. For example, the Dr. Light in the basement of MM6KNIX is a Treble now.Though that map is terrible anyway.

Because the old cloudman map was rushed and it was a terrible, cramped map. Though admittedly, KC's Cloud wasn't my first pick either. But oh well, Mikes choice in that case.

As for Crystal, The old map was okay. Copy's version however fixed a lot of problems that I and a few others had with the older version. The main reason being having no way to go backwards as I recall.

It's because of the new coding that forces you to go a constant speed rather than having it push you
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Korby on March 08, 2013, 01:40:18 AM
The bikes were slowed down slightly and use a different thrusting method than A_Recoil. This has the added effect of not making you go faster while jumping. (as far as I know) the race maps relied on this, so they're probably broken.

Why aren't Hogales in the usable props? I'm trying to get them to spawn with the duck script since they aren't there, but there's a problem. They do spawn, but never move in a direction despite showing the animation. I'm using a mapspot, too. Here's the script I'm using:
(click to show/hide)
I'm planning on modifying the timer, but I can do that myself.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Ivory on March 08, 2013, 03:27:41 AM
The problem is, Hogales aren't props. They are technically projectiles you can't interact with. Much like Slashman's birds.

Here's the Tengu Man Hogale launcher code. It should help.
Code: [Select]
int oldspot = 2;
int oldspot2 = 7;
Script 3 OPEN
{
int spot = random(2,6);
    while(oldspot == spot)
    {
        spot = random(2,6);
    }
spot = oldspot;
Delay(Random(600,1000));
SpawnProjectile(spot,"Hogale",128, 20,0,0,0);

spot = random(7,11);
    while(oldspot2 == spot)
    {
        spot = random(7,11);
    }
spot = oldspot2;
Delay(Random(600,1000));
SpawnProjectile(spot,"Hogale",128, 20,0,0,0);
restart;
}


You can simplify the code if you want. This system was set up to ensure hogales never spawned on the same side twice in a row, and using the same spawner twice in a row.

I always viewed Rush Search as giving you healing items such as HP and Ammo pick ups and even the Jumbo HP and Ammo pickups from MM7, but in turn be riddled with useless items like boots, junk (useful in YD Classes), and tin cans.
Still stand on my idea for Rush Marine too, simple reskin of Jet that take's Jet's place in Bubble. Also maybe use the same flag Bubble Man class uses to make it useful in only water, but allow jump movement out of water.
And Blade Roden's Magnet Beam is boss.
But those would be for another time.  Regae and Item 2 are already item's in the core, just not programmed.

That line didn't work by itself when I tried to compile it. However, I placed the tags of the MapSpots on where {tag} is on the whole script, and I got it to work. They spawn in a set pattern manner, but that's alright.

Recycled 2 Master Robots, was the oddball in Robot Master choice (beat one of the first 3 to unlock the next 2 or 3 for each) plus that King Megazord was almost impossible to beat compared to any other Megaman. That's why it literally felt more like a spinoff, but the canon cannot be negated and would be easy to doubt if it was noncanon. Consistent story and game, I guess.

I always thought Megaman 8 was great but will never ever top the 8-bit classics.

Unenconded data. It's a rare find in this game, but this really points out how serious they were at it being a sequel to 8 and a prequel to 9. You can find text data with anything (yes, even the good and old Notepad), but I use Notepad++ because it loads huge chunks of data much faster.

And Cut Man and Guts Man being recycled endlessly is okay then? It's not like reusing robot masters is a crime.

Also, Jax I just want to point out that you are quoting WIKIPEDIA as your only source. That holds about as much weight as a balloon being tied down by a pin. It's some kind of weight, but your argument is floating away.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!

To be fair, Cut Man and Guts Man were never seriously reused as part of the robot master ensemble in a main series game. They reappear as bosses in the arcade spinoffs and Cut Man shows up in MM8 as an easter egg, but that's about it.
Title: Spinoffy is a word now. Honest.
Post by: BiscuitSlash on March 22, 2013, 05:50:37 PM
The thing that makes MM&B a bit spinoffy is how it does reuse quite a few tiles and enemies, which although other games sometimes do that, MM&B does that surprisingly more, which really makes it seem a lot more like a MM8.5. There's also the fact that it's doesn't follow the traditional numbering sequels and that it's only semi-canon (MM9's ending shows Megaman defeating Wily in MM&B, which Bass wouldn't have also done within the exact same story) unless it did that Zelda multiple timeline thing which is very unlikely.

Still part of the main series as a main game, but with that spinoffy feel.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Korby on March 22, 2013, 06:23:28 PM
MM&B doesn't reuse tiles whatsoever. Not even Astro/Tengu reuse tiles, and they were IN Megaman 8.

You'll have to wait and see for the official announcement. Just don't expect it any time soon because v3b comes first. The only thing I will say that from here on in, any kind of overhauling of older content will be saved for minor updates like v3b while new game content will be for whole new version numbers. So the development time for v4a would be a lot more shorter than v3a which combined everything together.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: fortegigasgospel on July 05, 2013, 07:08:40 PM
Also V3 had to convert everything to 8bit. Everything from here on with the exception of &B is already 8bit (or much closer to 8bit then MM8 was).

Chronologically this is obviously the logical way to handle it, but is there really any hype for v3b? I mean, wouldn't most be more satisfied with the time allocated to v3b instead placed in v4a development and new content?

No, because that would take longer to get anything released. You are pretty new here, so I'll take the time to mention: v3a took just over a year to produce. During which time there was no updates to the v2 versions. And things got really stagnant around here during the last few months. So I aim to not repeat that, even if future expansions should theoretically have smaller development cycles because of this new system.

v3b has some exciting things planned.

Mind=Blown at the image. I always knew all these weapons, actors, maps, etc. took a long time, but over 1 year? Wow. I see what you're saying; many people might get bored and new players in the community might think it's dead. Makes sense in that case, although I feel bad I have absolutely no programming skills to contribute to this project.  :(

That stage looks awesome. About how many stages are planned to get an overhaul like that, or is the number meant to be secret?

WOW, YAY!


MM5CHA is already one of my favourite stages and now you guys are making it even awesomer!




I think I must have spent over an hour on that stage at one point!

Aw hell yes!
We can jump on top of trains! We can recreate that one scene from Skyfall and all those other movies!
We can even get pushed by the train as Turbo Man and finally reach 88 MPH and go back to the future!
So much stuff is possible in V.3B

Well, that should certainly help the teleporter camping problem the stage had.

The roofs of those were flat because normal trains don't carry cargo at mach 3 on their roofs.

And personally I'm not too excited for this for certain reasons.

This is also Mega Man where things already didn't make sense to begin with. I mean yes you could say having cargo on the roof makes no sense. But neither does having cargo that isn't tied down in any way while moving at full speed. On a normal train, those crates would be sailing off into the distance just as much as the ones on the roof.
Title: Ha ha! Using train roofs in a map is no longer original.
Post by: Shade Guy on July 06, 2013, 09:01:58 AM
Don't forget that mapping sensibility takes precedence over real-life sensibility! Without cargo on the roof, the top of the train would be flat and boring, and that's no good.

I completely understand that and I'm fine with it.
I still have my reasons of why I'm not too excited though.

Also, seeing that we will be able to go onto Dark Man's outer castle walls in the new update, I ask this; will we be able to climb on top of Charge Man's train cars?
You finally did it. You actually did it. I have been waiting for this moment ever since I saw the Dark Man castle changes.

Also, what about having it so that the train itself bumps instead of the outside? Unless it would cause problems (Water Wave projectiles for example, which now works with with Jelly World in Chaos Generator by replacing it with a similar actor with +MOVEWITHSECTOR added to it).

Fire weapons underwater anyone? In fact, heck, Pirate Man couldn't stand being hit with Burner Man's weapon, and he even controls the water level in his room! Video game logic bends logic as we know it in different ways. Mega Man is certainly no exception.

Because someone had to go and burst his bubble.  :roll:
But now that you mentioned this, this makes me wonder if Flame Sword works underwater in Mega Man 8, and if it follows the method of Wave Burner

Wave Burner worked differently underwater then most fire weapons do. Also if you kept up the attack on him to keep him from raising the water level again you could deal extra damage and even ignite him on fire by hitting him with WB while neither you nor him were in water.

I thought steam cooking was a legitimate way to cook underwater creatures such as fish? (I'm a vegetarian, don't quote me on that). I mean, it's called wave burner, which implies it's purpose is to burn waves, right?
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: fortegigasgospel on July 10, 2013, 11:28:38 PM
It is called Wave Burner due to the wave motion in which the attack gives.
The flame waves up and down. As well as under water it gives off a ripple effect (IE causing waves).
Think of X1's Fire Wave, in which the charge gave off a wave of fire across the ground.
Wave Burner has it's own waving effect and comes from the boss Burner Man, thus the Burner part of the name.

I think Wave Burner can be interpreted either way. Is there any canon evidence stating my interpretation is incorrect? (Granted, my interpretations tend to be wrong...)
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Beed28 on July 11, 2013, 03:08:11 PM
Something that bothers me a lot, and probably a major factor in why Wave Man keeps getting voted off and thus going to be replaced; there's no way to change the speed of the Wave Bikes ever since they were changed, making fighting on them extremely difficult if not outright impossible. That's why I kept the old behavior in Chaos Generator.

Prehaps something should be done to them?
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Messatsu on July 11, 2013, 03:38:47 PM
I found them to be nothing but something to stall or troll a match.  From the original design of the stage, it seems the wave bikes were made to allow access to better items and allow transport between the various land structures.  However, almost entire matches on Wave Man resulted in jumping and firing weapons on the water.  By making the bikes not accelerate in the air and harder to aim with, it encourages using them for the purpose of getting items and getting back to land where you have better control.  That's my interpretation of it anyway.
Title: Re: MM8BDM v3a Released!
Post by: Ivory on July 11, 2013, 04:06:06 PM
More or less what Mess said. I was all up for the change precisely because of being able to jump to gain speed led to outrunning projectiles and stuff.

This must have been why I was unable to do "speed boosts" in my racing mod by setting thrusts...maybe I'll just have to experiment with walking on foot later.

Post by: Hallan Parva on July 12, 2013, 04:21:10 AM
or you could make your own edited version that reacts to certain inventory items and changes the speed accordingly


or you could just use Frost Man snowboards because those are awesome and fast and awesomely fast
