If I read the Zandronum forums correctly... Zandronum v2.0 actually runs in OpenGL mode again under certain OS and hardware setups.
... which is fantastic for me, since v4b somehow broke OpenGL mode for me on my gaming computer.

So... yeah!  Win-win for Mr. J~

Gonna ask an obvious stupid question here: Are you supposed to see the weapon names when you switch weapons now?  "Megabuster", "Needlecannonwep", etc.?  Just curious.

Copy the files from the v4c zip into your current MM8BDM folder and overwrite all files. Your save file and configurations are saved in a separate .ini file that will not be overwritten so you can carry on where you left off.

So, we can start to host some servers? (like vanilla TDM). Better to not host the mappack (who was made for v4b?....)
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: Jakeinator on April 01, 2015, 04:06:40 PM
Any maps with the old style two way teleporters do not work what so ever, so if a map pack uses them (which I'm pretty sure at least 1 map in every one of them does), I would advise against it. However you can easily take such maps out of the rotation beforehand.

If you don't know what happens, actor hits floor now works when teleported onto the floor too so pretty much it gets stuck in a 0 tic loop and crashes the game.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: Rozark on April 01, 2015, 04:15:37 PM
I'd personally advise against hosting any map packs right now, at least until they're updated with ZDR2.0 compatibility.

actor hits floor executes action 226, script execute always.

Set the first box to [should be called script number] script 973.
Set the second box [should be called script argument 1] to the tag of your teleport destination.

Is this fixable in the settings anywhere ?? :(
I dont understand why the text became so ridiculously small or "zoomed out" like this:

http://s10.postimg.org/dv6t51lvd/zan2_0.png (http://s10.postimg.org/dv6t51lvd/zan2_0.png) - This happened with the zandronum 2.0 and MM8BDM 4C

So i went back just for a minute to zandronum 1.3 and MM8BDM 4B ...and the text was just fine the way it should be like this:
http://s4.postimg.org/8rcxk29il/zan1_3.png (http://s4.postimg.org/8rcxk29il/zan1_3.png)

why did the text get small (zoomed out) with 2.0 / 4C ?? and is there any kind of option anywhere where i can get the menu's and stuff back to the way it was ??
the font size like in previous versions. :|

I've got the same problem.

Only menu text zoomed out, text scaling options do NOT work, 4:3 resolution with 640x480 window. Fixes itself when I go to any larger window.

My only suggestion for a solution then is to use GZDoom Builder.
Sorry, bub.

EDIT: Actually, I lied.
Late afterthought.

Code: [Select]
script X (int arg)
{
ACS_ExecuteAlways(973, 0, arg);
}

...It's a stupid work around, but it should allow you to use the core teleport script with your current doom builder.

Alternatively, you could implement the script into the map itself under a different number.

Code: [Select]
script X (int dest)
{
if(CheckInventory("TeleportFlag")==0)
    {
    GiveInventory("TeleportFlag", 1);
    Teleport(dest, 0, 0);
    }
}

Granted, this method is slightly more bandwidth efficient, as the game has to send half as many commands between server and client.

So... would this be the appropriate thread to report WADs/mods/etc. that don't work under Zandronum 2.0?  Or would it be better to (necro-)post in the original WAD/mod threads?  'cause just as an example... I get a DECORATE error that prevents the game from starting when trying to play "Survival in Numbers" single player mission mode.

It's like updating Minecraft add-ons... except thankfully nowhere near as frequently mandatory.

As far as I know, I was asked to make a completely custom Bass skin, as the other members of the devteam thought it was kinda rubbish having 3 Bass skins, with two of them being Megaman edits, and the third one honestly not really looking all that nice (seriously, way too much black)
So they wanted someone (who ended up to be me) to make a custom one to replace SGC Bass.

I figured, since SGC Bass changed colour like MM&B Bass, that I'd bass this Bass off of MM&B's Bass

You probably think it clashes cuz of how lanky he looks. One of my IRL friends thought that too, but other Robot Masters, like Quick Man, have similar limb sizes.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: Max on April 05, 2015, 08:51:09 PM
On the subject of Geno's Bass I think it sticks out a bit too so I did a little of a comparison or so

(click to show/hide)

On top is the MM&B sprites
Second row is Geno's Bass and Mega Man
Third row is a Bass I made in 2013

Compared to the MM&B Bass Geno's stands a lot more awkwardly and stiffly, you can see that Bass is hunched a lot in the top sprite and rather reserved in the second one, which gives him that 'lanky' appearance Geno mentioned, as well as placing him at a much taller height than Mega Man himself. Geno's sprite also uses two more colours than Mega Man (purple and a blue used in his gems) which could make the sprite look a bit busy and overdetailed compared to NES

For comparison my one is a bit smaller and less detailed with less colours and stands at a more hunched frame

While Geno's looks pretty good as a sprite it can clash in game for a couple of those reasons, I wouldn't replace it (it almost reminds me of an equivalent to BBA-Megaman) I just thought I'd point it out while also mourning the loss of SGC-Bass  PJSalt

It does look jarring when compared to BIG BONED 1987 MEGAMAN the rest of the skins, even moreso than old SGC Bass. If the limbs weren't so lanky (which seems to be driven by MM&B's art style), maybe it would be better? I recall someone doing NES Mega Man in his MM8 idle pose, and it didn't look as lanky as this dude.

Like, it's not bad at all. It just looks awkward.

If I'm being honest, I really don't understand the need for more than one Bass skin. I can understand helmetless Mega Man and Break Man, but with Bass, his alternate skins are entirely new styles. It seems redundant.

Though I suppose the same thing could be said for Mobile Roll and everyone seems to enjoy that one so I suppose it's pretty harmless.

Variety is the spice of life.  I think it's nice that each of the key characters of the series has a variant or two.  That way, people can choose their favorites if they don't want to use custom skins.  Plus, since they're base skins, everyone can see them instead of just the people who have them installed.

Also, you leave my favorite Roll out of this!
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: MusashiAA on April 07, 2015, 02:25:54 PM
Most skins have either their only look (be it official or fan-made), alternate forms, or both. If a character from the NES/GB era has had its looks updated for MM9/MM10, its skin will use the updated look rather than the old one. If a character has two or more different appearances within the same game, it will have both variations as individual skins (MM1 Rock/MM:PU Mega being the sole exception for the Mega Man character as of now). If a character has never had an official NES/GB styled appearance, a fan-made one will take its place until one pops up. If an FC skin has an official counterpart that wasn't used in either FC games, it will have both official and FC equivalents (some FC skins have been subject of modification or total replacement). Non-humanoid fortress bosses (excluding Holographic Mega Men because...you know..), regular enemies (Sniper Joe being the sole exception) and support robots don't count as "skin-able".

Bass has his RM7FC look (which predates MM9 by two months), his officially designated NES look from MM9 (which was used in RM8FC and will be used in RM&FFC as basis after it was officially established (by the way, I still think the pre-MM9 look of Bass in RM8FC is vastly superior in every way possible to every attempt at NESifying Bass)), and a custom skin made to resemble his MM&B appearance.

In comparison, Mega Man only has his MM9 appearances (traditional NES skin and traditional helmetless skin), Proto Man has his MM3/MM9 appearances (traditional NES skin and Break Man skin), and Roll has her MM1Phone/MM9 appearances (updated NES skin, NES styled MM8 skin, and MM1 phone port skin). Neither Mega Man or Proto Man have skins based off their MM8/MM&B appearances...so why should Bass and Roll have one more skin?

MM&B Bass skin was a request from the devteam. The skin itself emulates the proportions of MM&B Bass really well, which is the reason I think it's awkward: if we attempt to translate sprite art based on artwork such as this (http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5227cd84e4b02515a5badc7f/52c0d51ae4b05150bfa68d65/52c0d536e4b0da7f3323ed0c/1388369209294/bassandtreblemm8.jpg) into a sprite art style based on (and this is my favorite example) something like this (http://static1.squarespace.com/static/5227cd84e4b02515a5badc7f/52c0d46de4b0b87925bae364/52c0d4bde4b0f2919b98a0bf/1388369085943/megamanfirst.jpg), it just won't look right: it will look jarring, especially when coupled with dozens of sprites that generally keep the same style. The further away it stays from &B body proportions, and inversely embraces the NES body proportions, while keeping the general posing intact, the better. Editting MM10 Bass into these poses would've been something I'd do.



Geno didn't do a bad job, but the skin doesn't look like something out of the NES games, and clashes with the rest of the pudgy cast. Something more similar to the rest of the cast can be done. It's not like improving it needs to be done, it's a good job...just that it ain't strange that some people see it stand out like a sore thumb. I guess it's just a matter of personal preference in the end. I don't mind it that heavily, really.

Post by: Russel on April 07, 2015, 06:29:33 PM
What you should do is take your v4b stuff and copy your v4c stuff over it rather than the other way around.

If you want to just keep your settings, find your zandronum ini [the file is called zandronum-.ini where is the name of the user of your machine] file and put it in a folder with a freshly exported v4c. Doing so will transfer all your settings and save data to the new version.

This is something you should report to mod authors directly on their threads or otherwise, but the diligent ones at least should already be on top of it. There are bound to be many incompatibilities if only because we have a whole new integer of Zandronum (this is not the only reason though), so reporting all of them here would be too much, and less productive anyway.

Did something happen to the MEGA download? Both the link in the first post and the link on the 8BDM blog page are telling me the file was removed/deleted or it's pointing to the wrong thing.

Apparently MM8BDM is now triggering their copyright violation for some reason so it looks like I can't host it there now. Kinda annoying, but the cutstuff link should be ok.

Apperently the problem was a skin file was corrupt, not sure how that happened, but the situation is resolved

I think I know why this happens. One time I uploaded a ZIP or RAR to olde MegaUpload, but it has spit an upload error for "illegal content". Joke was on them, I was going to share a freeware game through it since the main source had been down for over a week. So to get around it I encrypted the RAR and added a simple password to it, since the automated content checker can't crack it. I suspect the trigger to content checker is Executables.

Funny you mention that.  I had this exact problem with one of the Duo skins when I went from v4a to v4b (on top of the game not working under OpenGL on my gaming computer).  I should really weed through my massive archive of skins at some point and see how many of them are truly redundant and/or prone to errors.

Incidentally, does anyone happen to know if Zandronum 2.0 increased the maximum number of skins you can load into your game at one time?  As in, even if you load all of the WAD/PK3 files, the skins refuse to show up past a certain point.  I remember there being a limit of something like... 128 (?), at one point.

Could swear I had somewhere between 300-500, myself. Counting removed skins and music packs it's more than likely closer to 500.

Oh, is it possible to fix the ladder on MM1TIM, near Danger Wrap?
With "fixing the ladder" i mean not being able to climb the wall above the ladder, it's possible to get there without any item.
It may be something engine-related, i'm really not sure.

Post by: Russel on April 10, 2015, 09:51:50 PM
It's easy to fix, all that needs to be done is tag the script activation to be one-sided.
...this should be standard in all ladders, to be honest. Sometimes ladders are "sticky" and cause you to automatically climb up them because the player is activating both sides of the line at once.
Though, obviously we aren't just gonna go sweep through literally every map ever to make it so ladders activate one-sided only.

Noted for next version, though. Thanks.

I legit never noticed the M-Tank in the dug up grave at MM7SHA, probably because I haven't played DM there in ages. Was it intended, though? In most (if not all) core maps an M-Tank is available, it usually takes some kind of effort to get. I'd like to think this one was supposed to be a W-Tank.

At present, I have 219 skins, organized in folders by-type; classic series' skins (ex: Ra Thor, Bitman, enemies)in the base folder, then other Mega Man series' (ex: X, Rock Volnutt) skins in another, other video game-related skins (Lucario, Duke Nukem), other/unsorted skins (ex: Krillin or Keiji Inafune), and finally user avatars (ex: Brawlman, Smash the Echidna).  Oh, and of course, my own created skins in another folder.

I generally just don't bother loading the player-made skins though, since most times, I end up playing classes anyway...  But in the event I do play something where skins matter, I'd love to be able to see everyone's.  And I mean everyone's.  I'm a bit anal about things like that.

It's kinda tedious to download skins one-by-one, I wish there would be some sort of Cutstuff-Community-Skinpack.
Or perhaps a single .zip that has every skin on the User-Created-Skins page from the wiki.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: fortegigasgospel on April 12, 2015, 12:06:58 AM
The reason is because we have had many skinners wish for their skins to not be included in a pack such as that, also skins come out in single sets usually whenever they are completed.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on April 12, 2015, 12:41:47 AM
There's also the tedious task of having to update the pack every time a new skin gets released or an old skin gets updated.

Sounds like you need to switch the version of Zandronum you're using. MM8BDM-v4c requires Zandronum 2.0, so if you played MM8BDM before v4c, you'll need to switch versions of Zandronum. Version 2.0 is included in the v4c download from Cutstuff. If you use Doomseeker, you'll have to redirect it to the new Zandronum executable from Options -> Configure -> Engine.

If you need any help with this process just let us know here, or you can PM me!

And welcome to Cutstuff!

Hey, I wanted to ask; I want to use Zandronum but when I click on the exe after setting up the wad location it just opens the multiplayer Doom thing, Ive got Mega man 8BDM v4c, and I have set up doomseeker also and have no mm8bdm servers, you say go to configure then engine but where in there do I setup Zanronum, I only see 5 other engines 1 of them being Skulltag
Title: Re: MM8BDM V4C - Released!

Yeah, that's it.
Zandronum is a port of ZDoom designed for online play. MM8BDM is a mod of Zandronum, which ultimately makes it a mod of Doom.

I'm not sure I understand your question though, so do you think you could rephrase?

If you're just having issues updating versions, download this (http://zandronum.com/downloads/zandronum2.0-win32-base.zip) and extract it over your current folder in which you have Megaman 8-Bit Deathmatch. Upon doing so, it should ask if you wish to replace some files, make sure you click yes.
After this is done, you should be able to run MM8BDM from the launcher or Doomseeker.

Hi, I guess my question is i've setup all those files and already have them but I dont see any servers on the doomseeker browser, like no Megaman.wad servers for example :(

2) I have messed around with the settings in doomseeker but I'm wondering on how to get a server list to appear in Zandronum incase this isn't possible as people use that these days, I just dont know why all the servers disappeared in Doomseeker considering I downloaded v4c and configured all the engines and file paths and WAD paths etc.

If you're trying to setup MM8BDM to work with doomseeker, I'd suggest looking at here (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=728) as it should hopefully answer your questions.  If you have any further problems, I'd suggest creating a new post in the Help & Editing (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=27) section.

Hey all. Long time no see (as if it would matter who I am lol). I was going to make a post for a question.

In the Dark Robot fight since 4c was released I think I am encountering a bug where when he uses the ability where he spins and energy balls go everywhere as he spins, he never stops spinning. I remember fighting this boss before 4c was released and I did not encounter this problem. Further, watched a video from 2013 to see if maybe I am just loosing my mind, but the person who fought him did not encounter this. Any ideas what is causing this?

I'm afraid this version is almost 7 years old. It's probably no longer available for download.

The current version is v6a, which boasts quite a lot more content, and can be found here: https://cutstuff.net/forum/index.php?topic=11813.0 (https://cutstuff.net/forum/index.php?topic=11813.0)

Not that it matters, but you could still get V4C, along with other outdated versions of MM8BDM, though this Google Drive link (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1KFhjMBf4SWGKbYKaS_ZcDltysvXW7DZ6/view?usp=sharing).
