Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Mr. Sean Nelson on August 12, 2013, 03:52:19 PM
I'm excited.

What's this all about, though?

 "All items that were specifically removed in duel are now returned.  (Fix for duel crashing)"
If it fixes the crashing, that's nice and all, but those items were removed for a very good reason.

EDIT: Added and then removed Herobrine Mike, rofl.
We think he was removed from the game, but we're not sure.

Indeed... but it was crashing the game which we can't have. We'll have to come up with a better solution for this.

Well, I'm hoping for the best, and I understand why you did it.
But didn't Zandronum fix things like that?
Could we contact them for help or something?

EDIT: I'm happy we'll all be on v 1.1.1 now.

Oh wait, I think I've figured it out. I've never downloaded from MEGA before, so it was a bit confusing. :?
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Mr. Sean Nelson on August 12, 2013, 03:58:59 PM
Yeah, that was kind of annoying.

Better than SendSpace right now, though.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 04:00:16 PM
If anyone needs a quick list of the significantly changed maps:
MM2QUI
MM2WOO
MM3MAG
MM3GEM
MM3TOP
MM3SHA
MM4TOA
MM5CHA
MM5WAV
MM7BUR
MM7SPR

Keep in mind Wood and Toad were the only ones not covered by my V3B Map Spotlight segment in the screenshots thread.

Post by: Ceridran on August 12, 2013, 04:02:19 PM
Now everybody can get back to their held off game mods.

What do I have to replace again? Just everything in the new folder over the current?

EDIT: I used the sendspace download, and it's now saying that MM8BDM-v3b.zip appears malicious. What do. Can we get a dropbox mirror? I dislike Sendspace.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 04:03:41 PM
You can omit the default.ini and skins folder. Both are there for the sake of new players. Everything else can be replaced to ensure it works.

Okay, don't know if this is just me, but...

I was using chasecam in front of the mirror by Roll. I was firing off the Mega Buster while the frame of the skin in the mirror sprite was at sideframe, when the skin disappeared completely. It did that on several frames, but only when the mirror was in view. Weird.

It's a weird rendering issue, mirrors are very picky about where they're placed in maps. I can't tell if it's the new zandronum or the WIP room that is causing this.

Since 3b doesn't add alot of anything to the weapons, I'll assume all mods should work.

Maps that use stock music from the fort stages (except for MM8 fortress tracks) will have the music broken. EX: W2MUS is now 1DW2MUS. Music is the only thing I know off the top of mah head. of that'll "break" mods. Cough No music playing COUGH

Yeah pretty much this. Before I updated from v3a to v3b the text was normal even in 1.1.1. Posting some photos to show this. These photos were taken while testing a wad for changes between v3a and v3b sorry not trying to advertise it. It's just when I happened to take the photos.... >_>

Old

New

Anyways if there is a way to tweak this, that'd be wonderful. If not, I'll just have to suck it up. R.I.P. Original Burstman

Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 06:57:48 PM
What do you mean by "move all my files" If you mean downloaded files like mappacks and fan expansions and such, then that's okay. But don't replace any contents that are included with v3b aside from the default.ini and skins folder. Zandronum was updated to 1.1 so it's critical that you do not write it with v3a's zandronum.

You can copy over your .ini file safely, so yes. I would of recommended overriding v3a files with v3b though. Far safer and quicker.

Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 07:04:36 PM
The most simple way is to just have a folder called MM8BDM (which would be your v3a folder) and when a new version arrives (like v3b), just drag all the new version contents into that folder and replace the files as needed.

Do I have to redownload Doomseeker or something? Because I have V 3b in my folder and my doomseeker going TO that folder but it says its missing... Im also confused with the different "versions" theres MM8BDM-3b and mm8bdm-3b..
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 08:01:09 PM
No, you just need to update doomseekers filepaths in options -> config and then the filepaths option. It would be best just to call the folder "MM8BDM" if you haven't already. Makes updating way easier as the filepaths wouldn't change.

Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: JoshAdams88 on August 12, 2013, 08:18:22 PM
I'll gladly explain.
One of the biggest offenders in terms of map design is Topman. It just seems like a huge box with weapons scattered around, and it has very little sense of direction. Yes, it looks nice and pretty, but I don't feel enough effort was put into thinking "Hmm, how does the map flow with the current weapon selection, and how can I improve it? Where do I want most of the action to take place, and how can I make that happen? Is the whole idea of platforms moving up and down a good idea, or am I just throwing it in because it thematically fits?". The whole idea of map design principles have been thrown out the door in favor of gimmicks and pretty textures. Another map, while not exactly recent that fits the bill for being extremely clunky and frustrating to fight on is mm5gyr. It's difficult to navigate especially in the heat of battle, and it's overall sloppy and still has the issues the old mm5gyr had (impossible to not fall a few times per game, too open, too restricting)

On a side note, I'm sure most will agree that mm2dw1 and mm5dar have too many damn weapons just piled up together. mm2dw1 having 16 and mm5dar having 18(?). That's plain unacceptable. Either remove most of the overly similar weapons and space the others out more, or remove a few weapons and repeat others, keeping the general spawns the same.

Tried and true excellent maps like mm6fla, mm4sku, mm4dc1, mm7jun, mm6kni and mm5sto should be the standard for maps today, not maps like mm8fro that completely break the flow of gameplay with ridiculous gimmicks.

Also, I just sent The Mega Man Network (http://www.themmnetwork.com/) a news tip about this release as well.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on August 12, 2013, 08:54:22 PM
MM8BDM is a huge game with as of now, 78 DM maps. And not everyone will enjoy every map. For example, not everyone likes MM2DW1, but it's the big open arena map of the game and such. Some maps are more gimmickless (Skullman, Stone Man, etc), some feature minor gimmick layouts (Magnet Man, Junk Man, etc) and then some with huge map gimmicks (Wave, Gravity, etc).

The other issue to consider is maps like Gyro, Air... (just about every air theme robot master that isn't Tengu Man), Shadow, etc have very limited map layout choices because of their texture sets are so limited.

All in all, what I'm getting at is MM8BDM is always going to have liked/dislikes maps that are mostly opinion based. That's why I aim for changing maps that have objectively bad problems. I.e. Toad Man. Great map, but it always degrades into "Grab rolling cutter, throw rolling cutter". Quick Man, only two lasers go off at a time now because being locked into the various box rooms sucked. Wood Man, same problem as Toad. Rolling Cutter madness. The map needed to be aired out to reduce the effectiveness of using it in all the cramped areas.

Wood Man is also one of the few times where the aesthetic improvements were not my idea, it was Mike who asked for it to be done.

On a side note, I'm sure most will agree that mm2dw1 and mm5dar have too many damn weapons just piled up together. mm2dw1 having 16 and mm5dar having 18(?). That's plain unacceptable. Either remove most of the overly similar weapons and space the others out more, or remove a few weapons and repeat others, keeping the general spawns the same.

Tried and true excellent maps like mm6fla, mm4sku, mm4dc1, mm7jun, mm6kni and mm5sto should be the standard for maps today, not maps like mm8fro that completely break the flow of gameplay with ridiculous gimmicks.

Hate to burst your bubble here, but it's time for a little cross-ex.

MM5GYR pre-v3 was WAY worse than it is now. The map was always held up by stalling Leaf Shielders who found it enjoyable to fly around on gyro pads and make all but three weapons on the entire map useless (maybe 4, it's been a while), one of which was Leaf Shield itself and all of which sucked ass at long range. While your claim is somewhat reasonable since there still certainly are problems with falling off the map, I would rather take that than the former alternative. MM5GYR has become a respectable map after its retool from its "shit not here again" status.

In response to Top Man, I do believe you are mistaken. The weapons currently in the map were carefully picked in order to use the layout as an advantage. Water Wave is present due to the long flat surfaces across the map, Yamato Spear is useful because of the openness and long stretches (and both of these warrant Skull Barrier's presence). I think the only weapon that doesn't really benefit from Top's layout is probably Top Spin, which is somewhat dissapointing, but one weapon not fitting does not give much reason to bash the rest. Top's current layout emphasizes open brawling, which the current weapon selection caters to. However, it's interesting to note that this map was supposed to fix that problem, due to it being the emphasis of the old map...

As to your weapon overload complaint, it is difficult to use MM5DAR and MM2DW1 as valid examples. Both maps have a large enough size to warrant the large number of weapons present. As I stated before in Top's defense, the weapons all have purpose- I'll use MM5DAR as an example. Fun fact, the areas you find those weapons are usually where they're most effective. Water Wave is found on a long, wide, and empty wall- it's useful for long stretches with little cover. Crystal Eye is found in a tight corridor- use it in spaces with little breathing room. Flame Sword is next to a teleporter, and it's a brilliant weapon for ambushes. Power Stone can be located in the courtyard area which is sunk in the ground, and it's good in wide open spaces- or at least where it has enough breathing room. Star Crash is found in a room with only two narrow escape routes- and it's a good cornering weapon. These are only a few examples- all of the weapons serve a purpose on that map, the devs know what they're doing.

I find it difficult to believe that the game as a whole is weighed down by one or two maps that feature gimmicks that break from the norm. Really, the only one I could think of was old Wave Man and how it depended so much on the bikes. Frost Man doesn't nearly have that much emphasis on the snowboards- they're shoved into two corner sections, so it's hard to see how they literally break tbe game.

One final note- last time I checked, MM6FLA and MM7JUN have gimmicks that cover 1/3 of their maps.

WAIT WAIT WAAAIT! I found a HUGE problem with the campaign. Who in the DEV team thought it was a good idea to change Pharaoh's MAPINFO back to what it was in v2c? Cause now after you beat MM4PHA during the campaign, it sends you to MM4BRI, supposedly the last RM map in the campaign. Which means, after you beat MM4BRI it leads into MM4DC1, which also leads to the chapter boss. Just pointing this out so newcomers would be able to experience the 6 other RM maps other than just Pharaoh and Bright.

I've been trying to figure out that mystery myself. During development, I noticed Pharaoh Man's map reverted back to the v2c version of the map a few days before release. I could never trace at what point did someone pull out Pharaoh from v2c and handed it to me since every single core map was edited at least twice. However this will also break the save system so I GUESS IT LOOKS LIKE V3C WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN!!!11!1!!1! probably anyways.
Nevermind, the v2c mapinfo still has the correct level number, there is no breakage there.

I traced back where the switch occurred and found the person that is 99% likely to be responsible for the accident. Nonetheless, this problem completely breaks the campaign save system so there actually will be a need for a v3c fix in the near future that will deal with that and other things like Shadow Man's floor in software and such.

I didn't care much for Mendez's Burst Man map at all during the competition, but I figure I would just mention that a lot of the people I played with today disliked the new Burst Man map. There is even something going on like a funeral or something like that for Burst Man. I wasn't involved in any of that, but it was certainly strange to see something like that.

Aside from Burst Man, I like the new changes, though I disliked having to go find the new damagetypes and put them in so people do not TK in mods. I can understand why it happened, though. As usual, the new updates are worth the wait.

Kinda strange considering popular vote was for that map. But then I did notice some people in the servers today who were just plain allergic to change so you may be thinking of them.

Probably won't be a 3c now. The problem was resolved in another method that doesn't require forcing a new version. So unless something else that does require a new version comes along, all updates will wait until v4a. v3c wouldn't have been anything more than a bug/etc fix up version anyways and would little or no radically new content to enjoy.

Nope. That one was a whole PWAD. Let's create an scenario easy to imagine for an example: Suppose the MegaMan actor has a bug that causes him to be constantly slowed when leaving "Missile" state. You figured the bug, but then you have to choose how to fix it. What do you do?
A. Make a PWAD that does "Megaman replaces Megaman", risking conflicts with other actors and scripts?
OR
B. Creates a PK3 with only one file, "megaman.txt", located in the folder "actors/player" which, if said PK3 is loaded after MM8BDM-V3B, will override the faulty one with the corrected one?

MM5GYR pre-v3 was WAY worse than it is now.

While your claim is somewhat reasonable since there still certainly are problems with falling off the map, I would rather take that than the former alternative. MM5GYR has become a respectable map after its retool from its "shit not here again" status.
Again, like I just said, it fixed almost none of the issues the previous version had. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's necessarily better. Leaf shield had actual counterplay, that being fire storm/metal blade. What's the point of revamping a map if it doesn't make it better?
At least in old Gyro you knew where you were going at all times, rather than trying to navigate through a mm2dw1 clone with pillars and pits.
Oh, and FYI, it still has that "shit not here again" status.
In response to Top Man, I do believe you are mistaken. The weapons currently in the map were carefully picked in order to use the layout as an advantage. Water Wave is present due to the long flat surfaces across the map, Yamato Spear is useful because of the openness and long stretches (and both of these warrant Skull Barrier's presence).

Top's current layout emphasizes open brawling, which the current weapon selection caters to. However, it's interesting to note that this map was supposed to fix that problem, due to it being the emphasis of the old map... Hmm I'm sorry, what was that about not fixing issues found on the previous map?
It's very easy to figure out that Water Wave generally works on flat land, Yamato is literally a weapon you can splash anywhere and it'll be used, due to its' insane dps, Metal is another dps weapon, Drill is for power and zoning, and Knuckle is just there as damage. Half the time knuckle isn't worth getting anyway, since it's out of the way, and the map is too open to take advantage of it. Skull Barrier is way too out of the way, and not worth getting, especially in a duel when your opponent will generally know where you are a lot of the time.

As to your weapon overload complaint, it is difficult to use MM5DAR and MM2DW1 as valid examples. Both maps have a large enough size to warrant the large number of weapons present.
mm2dw1 is a box with a tower on one side, 16 weapons is way too many, and needs to be toned down. Trying to manage 18 weapons at one time may seem easy in your head, but in practice is a complete nightmare, even for a seasoned player.
As I stated before in Top's defense, the weapons all have purpose- I'll use MM5DAR as an example. Fun fact, the areas you find those weapons are usually where they're most effective. Water Wave is found on a long, wide, and empty wall- it's useful for long stretches with little cover. Crystal Eye is found in a tight corridor- use it in spaces with little breathing room.

Star Crash is found in a room with only two narrow escape routes- and it's a good cornering weapon. These are only a few examples- all of the weapons serve a purpose on that map,
So you basically just listed how a bunch of weapons work? That's cool, now talk about something relevant. Throwing a bunch of random weapons into a map for variety is unprofessional. Darkman isn't as big as you think, there are maps like mm8dw1/2 and mm8duo that are just as big, and iirc contain fewer weapons.
the devs know what they're doing. hue

I find it difficult to believe that the game as a whole is weighed down by one or two maps that feature gimmicks that break from the norm. Really, the only one I could think of was old Wave Man and how it depended so much on the bikes. Frost Man doesn't nearly have that much emphasis on the snowboards- they're shoved into two corner sections, so it's hard to see how they literally break tbe game.

>one or two
Haven't you noticed the general quality of maps declining? If this continues, they'll be revamping maps like Flash and Shade if this keeps up.

One final note- last time I checked, MM6FLA and MM7JUN have gimmicks that cover 1/3 of their maps.
Good gimmicks vs bad gimmicks. Dicey territory.

Hah, it's not really "alive" if the sole reason no one is playing is because that's the only thing a select amount of people choose to play. I don't call an "alive" game one that consists of maybe 15 people constantly playing one thing not even intended for the core game all day.

And "another" dumb topic? I don't see any.

The whole funeral for old Burstman, It's not quite what you think it is. I know I'm in the minority. I'll come off as the "Vocal Minority" Unlike what people ASSUME I'm NOT TRYING TO get old Burstman back in, that'd be a slap to BB's/Mendez's face.  I love old Burstman, don't know exactly quite why I just do. I'll adapt to the V3B changes. I hate to admit it because it sounds so horrible no matter how I word it, the funeral is joke of sorts. It's not "LOBS IS SUPER SAD V2A-V3A ERA BURSTMAN NEEDS TO BE BACK IN THE CORE ASAP!!!!!!" Just a place (honestly made very poorly) to say farewell to a map I loved. It was my favorite map in the core. I'll just come off as "grieving" BB IS A MONSTER! *sniffle* It's not meant to be overly serious. Either I'm apparently good at acting or people take me too seriously.
The title of the server is intentionally misleading. >_>

MM4DRI and MM4BRI are... Not fine.
The former has short ceiling, plus the teleporter is unneeded at the points they are located.
The later suffers from blinding darkness that results in either everyone stopping in their tracks or meeting Mr Pit, which makes me question why it relies so heavily on this single gimmick while it could have a "never dark" area too.

Then again, jus' me.

indeed, we need small and big maps, it can be good, depend of the number of players....if you want play duel, little map are less boring than a super big map.

DM: 4 players by exemple, drillman map is perfect for that, same thing with Cutman map.

Various maps is important I think....

All MM4DRI really needs is a higher ceiling (specially for the outside) and moving the inner teleporter to the opposite corner of the map OR removal of teleporter to give another entry point.

Centaurman isn't really bad, but I think that the water area is a bit empty. But nothing really worth the trouble.

I just noticed something surprising. The new Shadow Man's map, which is, quite a small/medium stage (a kind of bigger Cut Man stage), somehow, managed... to possess 17 different weapons : Gemini Laser, Hyper Bomb, Silver Tomahawk, Charge Kick, Danger Wrap, Yamatomato Spear, Tornado Hold, Water Balloon, Flash Stopper, Shadow Blade, Sakugarne, Spark Shock, Atomic Fire, Fire Storm, Leaf Shield, Bubble Lead and Homing Sniper.
17 is the record of different weapons a map has in vanilla MM8BDM (the second map which have that much weapons is Skull Castle Entrance).

Also don't forget DOOM has Domination, a Node control game mode, which 8bdm doesn't support either.  Though Domination would be much simpler to implement (Douro has done so actually if I remember correctly), invasion is not. Invasion requires not only specially made maps, but monster actors to be made as well.

Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ceridran on August 14, 2013, 06:50:11 PM
You're saying that Super Arm is overpowered, huh?

So that means Atomic Fire is overpowered. It must also mean Astro Crush, which is almost always set in places hard to get to, overpowered. Is Hard Knuckle overpowered? According to you, yes, it deals near the same amount of damage Super Arm can. Sakugarne must be overpowered because it can easily kill people it gets close to. It makes you really easy to hit once you land. They're all power weapons, I don't see the problem.

Super Arm can score an OHKO, sure, but that's a pain to position. I suppose we should give Super arm 8 second air time until it hits the ground, nerf it's damage to 10, make it drain all of your ammo to empty by one single use with a full bar, and make it fall on you and crush you if you hold it with 1/4 of your health.

You shouldn't be seeking a nerf, you should be seeking balance.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: *Alice on August 14, 2013, 06:56:26 PM
Atomic Fire is balanced by its INSANE charge-up time.
Sakugarne is a dumb weapon that is basically just for trolling.
Hard Knuckle has a firing delay that makes aiming near-impossible and annoying recoil and firing it locks you in place briefly.
Super Arm just requires the ability to calculate in gravity, which is a skill shared with Water Balloon, Hyper Bomb and Napalm Bomb.
In other words, Super Arm is less balanced than Atomic Fire or Hard Knuckle.

I disagree. Aside from being useful for simple mobility, Sakugarne can be very dangerous if you repeatedly cancel its jumps into short hops.

Yes.
So that means Atomic Fire is overpowered.
Atomic fire has ridiculous charge up time, is slow and easy to juke.
 It must also mean Astro Crush, which is almost always set in places hard to get to, overpowered.
Astro Crush is a strange weapon. I consider it more "broken" than overpowered. (note: broken != overpowered, broken in this context generally means something is simply /wrong/ with the weapon, or the weapon is just stupidly designed (in this case, both are true))
 Is Hard Knuckle overpowered? According to you, yes, it deals near the same amount of damage Super Arm can.
Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know 70(?) damage was equal to 130(?) damage.
Looks like you didn't read what I wrote, either, considering I was pissed with its ohko potential, not huge damage in general.
Sakugarne must be overpowered because it can easily kill people it gets close to. It makes you really easy to hit once you land.
God man, have you ever USED Sakugarne? Learn to jump cancel and use it properly and the whole idea of being hit when you land is thrown out the window.
 They're all power weapons, I don't see the problem.
Power is ok, low risk for high reward is stupid.
Super Arm can score an OHKO, sure, but that's a pain to position.
Yeah no. It's extremely easy to 100-0 someone at close range, and even easier at mid range if you've used it more than twice in your life.
 I suppose we should give Super arm 8 second air time until it hits the ground, nerf it's damage to 10, make it drain all of your ammo to empty by one single use with a full bar, and make it fall on you and crush you if you hold it with 1/4 of your health.
Stop blowing things out of proportion. I'm certain you've been in a situation where you're stacked to the brim with weapons, have a plan to kill someone that only has super arm, then get unfairly 100-0'd out of nowhere just because of the insane damage.
You shouldn't be seeking a nerf, you should be seeking balance.
...And a nerf to how easy it is to ohko with super arm would balance it.

Toning down it's damage would produce people who whine. Keeping as it will also produce people who whine.

You could have a speed decrease and a slight delay before being able to fire, but it's not like that would ever solve anything, would it? No, it wouldn't, people would still be whining about it's OHKO potential. I should just be negative about every single thing I say by this point, because making a good statement is like.. . .

Because the only thing that people rely on these days is getting an easy kill with an incredibly easy to use weapon. If Super Arm was nerfed, then they could just resort to Oil Slider, or any other one of the "sane" power weapons. Better yet, get used to the New S. Arm. I'm only saying this because if in the future when it DOES get a nerf, I'm more than sure it isn't going to get nerfed to oblivion like Ballade Cracker did that one time.

Reducing the hitbox to anything that can be noticed would mean we should just have a smaller rock, because the hitbox is similar to the rock size as it is.

I'm pretty sure (but not certain), but I think that the reason why S. Arm can OHKO is because of the bits hitting you in addition to the S. Arm itself. Kinda like D. Crusher where if the bits hit you it does more than half damage or possibly OHKO(?) (which is done by aiming slightly below the player). Simply reducing the damage of the bits or changing where they are spawned could remove the OHKO chance. The old laser buster could already OHKO if you hit someone just right, but now it's even easier to do. Also M. Ball can OHKO as well if it lands right on top of you which is just funny. R. Boomerang can also be shot once and can kill you if it rips you three times in a row (can be done in a corner in a cramped area since the bounce is there.)

Yeah but the 3D version of the Mega Man weapons don't need to be the perfect translation of their original game version. For instance : in MM8BDM Super Arm doesn't need a boulder to use, Ice Slasher doesn't freeze at all and has a fast fire rate, Gemini Laser doesn't multihit, and barriers weapons usually have a lot of differences with their original versions. So it may happen.
or we could make the bits very weak when they spawn, and they get stronger when they travel. No,wait, that's an awul idea.

It was bound to happen at some point.

(also I stated quite a few times that the development team wanted to redo wav, but couldn't for v3a)

The sheer amount of things you got right is startling.

will anyone make a server using the method of enabling 4 teams?

I can easily change my TLMS server to 4 teams, but no one really does the mode anymore without adding things like Classes to it.

This might be a stupid question, but is Enker really supposed to be able to instagib you?

Damage handling on FastProjectile is kind of weird...Mirror Buster's highest level shot instagibs you in deathmatch...so it probably does here, too.
Honestly not sure if it was intended

Hey peoples!

I just came by to tell you how awesome i think the re-made levels have become.
Especially the magnetman stage! (those floating magnets are genius :3 )
Good job on this stuff.

It's not just FastProjectile, but also A_Stop and A_Recoil in the victim, remember? I think a possible fix for that could be adding an A_GiveInventory in the very first moment of a pain state related to that, which would give PowerProtection against that damage type for 2 to 3 tics. Perhaps only one tic would be enough, have to test it myself.

Ahem...Tsuki. A_Stop wasn't used in Pain states since v3a.
It has been this way for ever a year.
Please do everyone a favor and stop posting unless you know what the fuck you're talking about for a change.


This is getting reported, isn't it?
Don't care, it needed to be said.

I haven't touched megaman.txt much, so how the hell am I to know? Besides, A_Recoil is STILL being used, so my point is 50% or more accurate. Plus another correction: Damage handling on +RIPPER (ripping projectiles) is the odd one, not FastProjectiles.

My point is, if you're going to make an argument, please make sure you actually have the accurate information by checking your resources, especially when trying to debunk someone else's claim.

It's a simple hypothesis: Hitboxes or damage values become messed up when a projectile inherits from FastProjectile. It's remains a hypothesis as I have no evidence or experimentation to back up this claim, but Mirror Buster's highest powered shot instakills players when it is just a 5 damage ripper; its fast travel speed should not allow it to deal such large amounts of damage normally...yet...it instakills.

Also, upon review of the code, all of Enker's shots are literally just powered up normal shots, so he can instakill you.

So what are we going to do with the release of Zandronum 1.2? Will there have to be a v3c that includes it? I'm just curious.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: tsukiyomaru0 on September 03, 2013, 04:28:36 PM
Considering how little it changes? Doubt a v3c or somethign will be needed.

There will be no v3c. All our efforts have been towards v4a content and we would have very little content to add in for a v3c. All we'll be doing is directing everyone to update to 1.2 on their own while re-bundling v3b with the new zandro version. But the dev team is still discussing the matter.

Why is it that support items (Tango, Rush, Treble) fall through 3D floors now? That's just screwy.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on September 04, 2013, 03:07:34 AM
Not just them; Sometimes you do, too. Usually happens when you teleport onto one.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: fortegigasgospel on September 04, 2013, 04:16:05 AM
Telepoints need to be placed a little over the 3d floor (as in not perfectly aligned) and make sure to use the Z-Height one.  Spawn points can't be placed on them. So try to keep these in mind.

As for the supports, no idea.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Korby on September 04, 2013, 06:09:19 AM
Actually, the supports thing was a deliberate decision by the devteam. While I don't remember all the reasons, it was rather annoying when Rush and Eddie spawned above you and you couldn't use them, and it was possibly more annoying to enemies when Treble or Tango appeared out of nowhere and wrecked them.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Knux on September 04, 2013, 01:54:36 PM
So that's what it was? Oh, come ON. I made a nice little trick for such a thing, but when v3b came out, it broke.

I'll PM you with the details, Korby.

Of course telephoning actors go through 3d floors.  (Granted that was a massive pain due to engine bugs...unintended engine features) Ya don't exactly want to put eddie or rushjet into your opponents lap.  Not to mention it's not always obvious you're below a 3d floor (new gemini man for example)

Is it just me or was the map for Toad Man's stage rotated 180 degrees?

Also, how was the mirror in Roll's room fixed? Was it switching to a different Node builder, or was the map converted to UDMF format (unlikely)?
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Ivory on September 05, 2013, 12:51:51 AM
It was actually the activation linedefs that were the problem. I revamped the mechanics behind Roll's Wardrobe to help fix the problem. But no, neither Node Builders no UDMF would fix it.

I suddenly got the idea to make it so that players emit air bubbles while they're underwater (thanks to the IsUnderwater flag item), except I can't visualise on how to make the bubble despawn when it reaches the non-solid 3D floor water surface.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: SmashTheEchidna on September 12, 2013, 01:37:11 PM
Can you give the same underwater flag to the bubbles themselves?
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: -FiniteZero- on September 12, 2013, 03:50:20 PM
Well, in MM2, the bubbles don't go away when they hit air.
Title: Re: MM8BDM V3b Released!
Post by: Messatsu on September 12, 2013, 04:33:14 PM
As water physics are currently implemented in game, bubbles that disappear when they hit air won't work.  It probably could be possible with some clever coding, but it'd likely be more of a hack.  Never say never of course, but it's not as straightforward as it might seem.
