I see that ResetPlayerStats was commented out in this version. Is there a new replacement for it?

I know I already dropped a similar wall of text on Discord, but I really want to share my thoughts on the shark boss.
It's actually pretty reasonable for the most part, but the first two phases have a big problem in that they're too easy to cheese through.

Phase 1 can be gotten through easily just by staying somewhere at a low altitude in the center to avoid joe fire, and the missiles aren't very threatening at all if you focus on shooting them down. You can get the two weapons simply by occasionally moving out of your safespot and shooting down the Joes while they're not firing. The excessive amount of HP doesn't compensate for those flaws, and instead makes it really boring.

Phase 2 meanwhile doesn't force you to move at all except for grabbing Concrete Shot and the E-Tank, so the ideal strategy is "sit in a corner and shoot at things until they die".

The other two phases are pretty good, except for the cyan attack on phase 4; that should be replaced by something else, as it's guaranteed to destroy a player who isn't expecting it and just isn't fun to dodge compared to the other two attacks.

(Do note I haven't touched any form of SH or derivative of it in a mighty while, so I might be wrong on some points, but...)
I definitely agree with Medal about the bosses' gameplay: they really need to be changed from "absurd amount of HP with some OHKO punch attack". It's just not fun or interesting at all.
Speaking of the "absurd amount of HP" part, that's always bothered me about SH: bosses are ridiculously tanky, but in gameplay, they're actually really weak because they're slow and lack range to actually hit anything; in the end, it's usually the boss who runs away from the mass of angry players with ranged weapons, while it's the players that should be running in fear from the boss.
If you choose to revive this, you should consider making the bosses a lot more threatening and decreasing their HP accordingly. This would make the mode more interesting and (probably) help speeding up rounds, which I also recall being a problem.

Welcome back! Even though I probably didn't know you before...
Anyway, about the mods:
Obstacle Course is currently at version 1-7, which I think is the final one, you can get it here. There's also a little expansion called "ragestacle course" which you can get here.
Saxton Hale was kind of replaced by "Unholy Bosses", which has the same "boss battle" concept but with its own classes and gimmicks.
SH itself as well as LMSGames and roboenza still exist, but I have no idea what the newest files are, so I'll let someone else clear that up.
Mission mode split into multiple different mods, I think the most popular one is MMX SP.

What is armor? (I put random numbers on my class application, atleast, what i tought.)

Armor is a factor which multiplies all the damage you take. For example, a class with 1.2 armor would take 1.2x damage from everything, which is similar to having about 83 health (everyone has 100 health).

Well, I guess it's time to post my class concept...

Name: Badz
Armor: 0.85x damage
Speed: 0.75/0.72
Skin: Junkman
General description: Badz is a dangerous close-range class who can use his weapons to attack in unexpected ways, but isn't very impressive at long range. Can't pick up weapons, items or weapon energy.
Weapon description:

(click to show/hide)

Comes with two weapons, white version and black version.
Mainfire (same for both weapons): Badz Buster - Shoots a cool-looking projectile that creates a trail. When it hits something, the trail keeps going forward and can rip through enemies for extra damage. Shooting it doesn't hinder ammo regeneration.
Altfire (Black): Orbital Drill - Summons a drill that spins in circles around its owner while leaving a short trail and ripping through enemies. You can summon up to five drills at once, with each one spinning slightly farther away from you than the previous one. Each separate drill drains your ammo a little while orbiting you. If you run out of ammo or use the item to release them manually, the drills will spin away in a spiral path. They'll bounce on walls four times before being destroyed.
Altfire (White): Orbital Drill - Summons a drill with identical properties to the black one, but slightly different behavior; this one won't spiral away when released and will instead spin around the spot it was released from for 4 seconds before flying away in a straight line. Does not bounce.
Item: Releases all drills that are spinning around you when you use it.

Dropped weapon: Orbital Drill
This version of the weapon summons three drills at once that all orbit their owner at the same distance. They're too far away to kill enemies by hugging them, but they do a lot of damage if you manage to stay at the correct distance. When you release them, they behave like the black ones, though their spiral path expands much slower and they fly away like the white ones after a while.

If this concept is considered acceptable, the class is pretty much entirely done (except for weapon icons).
And if it's not considered acceptable, then... I'll see what to do...

Toronto Raptors vs Slamhou Story kind of happened two days ago, but no one ever posted about it here. I guess I'll do that? (Even though everyone else already seems to be up to date so this is probably pointless)

Round 1
Map: MM8DUO (picked by Toronto Raptors)
TR bans: Frost, Slash, Junk, Ground
SHS bans: Spring, Turbo, Elec, Roll
TR picks: Darkman1, Darkman2, Darkman4
SHS picks: BusterRodG, Starman, Darkman1
TR wins 3-0

Round 2
Map: MM1TIM (picked by Slamhou Story)
SHS bans: Darkman4, Darkman2, Spring, Roll
TR bans: Frost, Slash, Junk, Ground
SHS picks: BusterRodG, Starman, Timeman
TR picks: Iceman, Tenguman, Freezeman
TR wins 3-2

RIP SHS; it lacked in thematic cohesion.

I don't know if the colored death-FX that appears in team modes actually is the one I made for unholy, but it has the exact same pattern and doesn't quite match the vanilla one, so I made a corrected version that should imitate it perfectly.
Also, Starman's star flurry and Aquaman's water cannon should probably be team-colored. and gutsman should hold his rocks a bit higher so his head isn't buried within them

Closed / [Suggestion] Make homing weapons use A_SeekerMissile

« on: March 29, 2015, 10:45:50 PM »

Currently, homing weapons inherit from MageStaffFX2 and use A_MStaffTrack for their homing properties; that inheritance tends to cause issues when the projectile collides with something that isn't a player. However, with the advent of Zandronum 2.0, A_SeekerMissile now has access to all of its parameters, allowing homing missiles to no longer rely on that workaround anymore thanks to the SMF_LOOK flag! Also, it allows for more precise control of the homing capabilities of the projectile.

Unrelated note, +NOEXPLODEFLOOR is also supposed to work now

Do you have skype? Will make information sharing much easier, we have ideas for virtually every weapon we will need. Otherwise I'll message you here with the list of what they will do.

I do, actually. I'll PM you with the details.

As for scripting, bosses need to be scripted, cutscenes added to points in the hub and for those bosses, campaign progression and other campaign related things. I won't ask for the maps to be made for all these, I'm gonna try to handle those myself, most of the planed bosses have fight styles thought up, but are still viable for adjusting for ability to be done.

I should be able to make bosses and cutscenes, though I might have trouble handling something really insane if it comes up.

I have some experience in making weapons, so I can help with them... though you might need to tell me exactly what you want them to do.
I could also try helping with some scripting, depending on what exactly that implies.

The files are still avaible on Best-Ever; you can find the resources here and the main file here.
Do note however that due to crashing issues, you can't host a server on Best-Ever with those files.
