[OUTDATED THREAD] Class based modification (v9fh)

[Korby]

Hmm. I was thinking of doing something similar.

Good luck! Remember, there's a reason MM8BDM wasn't class based. Raise your flame shields before you release it, and get ready to balance a lot.

[Max]

Mega Man 3 it is! Luckily I had a lot of ideas for this game. I'll start with Hard Man and go round in a clockwise order, so this means doing Gemini last. If someone wants to beat me to it and design Top Man's class, for example, they can go ahead and do so. I don't want this to be a solo project.

[Korby]

Do you plan on making the characters play exactly how they did in the game?

[Max]

Not exactly, but much closer than Mega Man's weapons.

Hard Man can only shoot two Hard Knuckles at a time and he shakes the ground on his altfire (only used in the air) applying a stun to all in range. His knuckles don't act as boomerangs, unlike in game... I tried it and dominated everyone as Hardman in offline. Might re-add it if Hardy's UP.

Well, dunno if you considered this, but:
1) When he does his Hard Drop, everyone within a range should be paralyzed for a while (if they are on ground) and maybe take minor damage.
2) Shortly after his Hard Drop, he's unable to move or attack.

[Max]

yes and yes both are done.

Hard Man can move after dropping, but he can't attack and it has a 5 second timer  before he can do it again.

[Korby]

I demand a video.

You can only use Hard Man skin when using him, right?

[Max]

Weird thing is I have the weapon working but not the class

[Korby]

check sjas/another ghoul

[Max]

tried and failed

[Alucard]

Don't pput it in skins. You HAVE to use the Add File.

[Max]

That's obvious

[Ivory]

You have to change classes in the player menu, or by console command.

[Max]

...It doesn't show up.

[arkman]

Well i started working on some classes myself. I mostly just cut and paste stuff from the main game, but i tried to be creative.
Here is what i think you need to do
(i posted the images on my wikia page)

excuse the quality.

also here is a class i made, it isn't very good, but it was my first attempt.

you can use this for a base if you want.

edit:blahg i forgot to change the pain sprites...
and things like darkdamager i forgot to take out.
you probably shouldn't use this as a base.
