Title: Joseph's Skins, Bots, Etc. **UPDATED: Quint's Revenge Music WAD**
Post by: Joseph Collins on December 23, 2011, 07:26:03 AM
Wise from youw gwave...

So!  A while back, I had a general modifications thread.  Since then, the forums have apparently been expanded or something, adding on sub-forums for skins, maps, and scripts.  That said, this is my new skin thread.

Title: *WiP* SuperDanny Skin
Post by: Joseph Collins on December 23, 2011, 07:27:07 AM
To start this new thread off right (double-post aside), I'm going to show you folks my current WiP skin:

SuperDanny Skin *WiP*
(click to show/hide)
Some of you might be wondering who this goofball with the weird hair is.  Well I'll tell you who this goofball with the weird hair is!  It's SuperDanny!  From the SuperDanny series of games from Blyka's Door (http://blyka.legends-station.com/?page=home)!  He's essentially just a funny-looking Mega Man, but his games are masterpieces of mimickry!  Thus, I thought he deserved a place here in Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch.

I'm having some trouble trying to determine what color the D on his shirt should be.  The shirt is going to be cyan when turned into a proper skin, but I'm not sure if I should just make the D a lighter shade of cyan (does it even recolor when you change a weapon?), white, or black.  I'm also awaiting the go-ahead from Blyka himself before I release this skin, since it's his character and whatnot.  He probably wouldn't mind his character as a skin (and bot) in another game, but better safe than sorry.
You might also notice some of the frames of animation are dramatically different from the normal Mega Man skin frames.  This was done because the default frames (no offense to the artist intended) looked very awkward to me.  I plan to implement these fixes into (yet another) Mega Man skin at a later time, since it's incredibly easy to reskin it back into Mega Man from here.

So, what do you guys think?
Title: **RELEASE** Alt Skin Bots Pack

Alt Skin Bots Pack (http://www.mediafire.com/?l2c8ak0m99wcgmu)
(click to show/hide)
- What is it?
It's a pack of bots for Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch.

- What does it do?
It enables you to add the following bots to your bot matches:
Code: [Select]
BOT NAME            SKIN USED           BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Megaman H           megaman-hair        Helmetless Megaman.
Breakman            protoman-break      Self-explanitory.
Bass SGC            bass-sgc            SCG demo version of Bass.
Bass MM7            bass-rm7fc          Rockman 7 FC version of Bass.
Classic Roll        roll-classic        Roll in her MM1-7 dress.
?????               auto-unknown        Protoman's shopkeeper in MM10.
Slashman MM10       slashman-mm10       Slashman as seen in MM10.
Full-Power Ballade  ballade-alt         Ballade's alternate armor.- Do you need anything to operate this pack?
Nope!  All the alternate skins are already a part of vanilla MM8BDM.
They just lack associated bots.  Hence this bot pack.

- Did you make any changes to the bots?
Not really.  All the alt-skin bots are essentially carbon copies of their base forms right down to the chat strings.  Although ????? and Full-Powered Ballade may say some different stuff compared to their base bots...

- Will this interfere with my game in any way?
Most likely not.  All it does is add new bots to your bot roster.  It doesn't change anything else at all.

SuperDanny Skin/Bot (http://www.mediafire.com/?br7c4n6hjxu1q3c)
(click to show/hide)
- What is it?
It's a new skin for Mega Mna 8-Bit Deathmatch.  It also includes a bot.

- What does it do?
It allows you to play as SuperDanny from the hit game series, "SuperDanny", by Blyka's Door!

- Who is "SuperDanny"?
To quote from the website, he's "the craziest Mega Man fan alive".

- No, seriously.  Who is he?
For all intents and purposes, he's a sprite edit of Mega Man, but with the ability to use not just Robot Master weapons, but turn INTO the Robot Masters themselves through the unique ability of Cross Fusion!  Of course, this ability does not come into play here.  That would be unfair.  :P

More information can be found at Blyka's Door:
http://blyka.legends-station.com/ (http://blyka.legends-station.com/)
----------
Fun fact: I enhanced the base sprites, among others, a little.  SuperDanny is now right-handed like he is in his artwork!

Yes, this skin does exist. No, I don't remember exactly where the thread is.

SUPERDANNY YESSSSSS
I've played both of them, and they really are great games. (pretty hard, though)
Though I'm surprised SuperDanny doesn't have his AWESOME taunt along with OWNED... Great skin, though.
Title: Re: Joseph's Skins and Bots **SuperDanny Skin/Bot released!*
Post by: Joseph Collins on December 28, 2011, 12:43:19 AM
I would have loved to have added that in, honestly, but I don't know if that's possible.  There's only one Taunt button to my knowledge.  So, I went with the one that technically makes more sense.
Title: Re: Joseph's Skins and Bots **SuperDanny Skin/Bot released!*
Post by: Korby on December 28, 2011, 03:30:08 AM
You can have more than one taunts, the only side effect being that other people might not hear the same one you do, but that's not exactly a problem.
Title: Re: Joseph's Skins and Bots **SuperDanny Skin/Bot released!*
Post by: Joseph Collins on December 28, 2011, 05:27:05 AM
Yeah, that's what I meant.  There's no second dedicated taunt function.  But you can have a taunt randomizer.  Didn't know it played a completely different taunt for other people, though...  That's interesting!
Title: **RELEASE** Rokko Chan Bot
Post by: Joseph Collins on December 31, 2011, 07:20:16 PM
Rokko Chan Bot (http://www.mediafire.com/?j1cc7g2ajd65kju)
Edit: Link fixed.  Thanks, Megaman!
(click to show/hide)
- What is it?
It's a bot for Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch.

- What does it do?
It enables you to add a Rokko Chan bot your bot matches.

- Do you need anything to operate this pack?
Technically, no.  However, it's highly recommended that you download and install the Rokko Chan skin by Megaman (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=981) for the full experience.  Otherwise, you'll end up with a Megaman bot with a funny name and new dialogue.

- Will this interfere with my game in any way?
Most likely not.  All it does is add a new bot to your bot roster.  It doesn't change anything else at all.

Post by: Megaman on January 01, 2012, 01:11:21 AM
I think you need to update your link.  It's leading to a readme instead of the actual bot.

... huh.  How about that?  In my tired state yesterday, I not only uploaded the wrong file, but I even linked to it.  Three times!

This should be fixed now.  Sorry about that.
Title: **RELEASE** Minecraft Steve Skin/Bot

Minecraft Steve Skin/Bot (http://www.mediafire.com/?zo4hg5otar73zbd)
(click to show/hide)
I took some minor liberties with this skin, as I did with SuperDanny.  Basically, the original skin I had in mind was basically a "copy-and-paste" from all angles.  However, once I drew the bodies of the odd angles, I noticed how utterly bizarre the darn thing looked.  I decided to "round" his head a little more so his face shows from the sides.  Turns out, that really did improve on the overall skin.

I tried to find 8-bit analogs for Minecraft sounds, but I gave up, so Steve currently uses the built-in game sounds for injury and landing.  A bot is also included, but it has no chat lines.  This is intentional.  Steve no longer even grunts.
Title: Re: Joseph's Skins and Bots **Minecraft Steve Skin released!
Post by: Korby on January 01, 2012, 08:15:54 PM
I remember Steve having darker skin than that, but I'll get it anyway.
Title: Re: Joseph's Skins and Bots **Minecraft Steve Skin released!
Post by: Joseph Collins on January 01, 2012, 08:50:08 PM
He does.  But I couldn't find a good analogue in the 8-bit palette.  Other than brown, I mean.  And his skin's not quite that dark. (Actually, it's kind of a funky "needs a bath", washed-out kind of tan.  The closest match according to NeoPaint was grey.  XD)
Title: **RELEASE** Metall EX Skin/Bot
Post by: Joseph Collins on January 07, 2012, 06:10:20 AM
I know a few of you have been wanting this for a while now.  So... here it is!

(http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i348/JCMM8BDM/Skins/_MetallEX.gif)
Metall EX Skin/Bot (http://www.mediafire.com/?vpqpa30z8cbrhiq) (8.46 KB)
(click to show/hide)
Some time back before v2a, I released a skin for the game.  It was basically a skin version of the built-in Metall EX enemies.  I called it "Met" or "MetSkin".  It was cute, but I later learned that the palette was a little screwed up.  How did I find this out?  As luck would have it, someone made and released a modification for the game, Roboenza Mode (http://cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=2357) (Note: Rage Roboenza linked for lack of link to the original mod), which changed not only the primary and secondary colors, but a third color as well -- black.  The screw-up comes from the fact the sideways sprites for the original Metall EX sprites use two different shades of black for some reason -- #000000 and #050505.  There's no real obvious reason as to why this is so, but regardless, it made for some rather funny-looking Mets in that game mode (or so I'm told) -- funnier-looking than intended, rather!

Well... about a year and three versions later, I finally decided to redo the original "MetSkin" a bit.  But rather than make it "MetSkin v2", I actually ended up changing quite a few things about it!

I dislike the firing pose.
When it's shooting/charging something, it looks like it's freaking out.

The helmet should be lower.

You're right.  The helmet should be lower, going by how Mets fire in the games.  However, if I did that, then you could hardly tell the thing was firing at all.  So I decided to use the "pop up" frame of animation instead.  I thought it looked more interesting that way.

Though admittedly, I didn't consider how it might look when charging a weapon.  I'm going to have to remember that if I make another skin.

Edit: You're right.  That looks absolutely ridiculous.  And unfortunately, not in a good way.  And so... I've updated the skin (http://www.mediafire.com/?vpqpa30z8cbrhiq) (Sub-Edit: This link now works again.  Oi.  >_>;), just for you.  ...  No, I'm serious.  I would have never have noticed how silly that looked had you not said something.  So, thanks!  :D
----------
... I screwed up bad.

Have you ever uploaded and released a skin without testing it?  I just did that yesterday.  >_<;  Not only did it lack the SKININFO file, but... the sprites didn't have their proper offsets!  It's all fixed now, plus I changed the secondary firing frames to the "surprised" look.  It works pretty well!

I know I said this about the Metall EX skin, but I know at least a couple of you have been waiting for something like this for a while now...

(http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i348/JCMM8BDM/Skins/_Joseph.gif)
Joseph Skin/Bot (http://www.mediafire.com/?lc4p7ylp4pjw17y) (29.10 KB)
(click to show/hide)
Ever had the urge to shoot me in the face with high explosives?  Well now you can!  Given that I can't actually play online like a normal human being (due to my satellite internet), I figured this was the next best thing!  Possibly even better, in fact!  The bot is actually a little more accurate than I am most of the time!

In all seriousness, this was a good four days of work and I'm really pleased with how the skin turned out!  The color palette (aside from the cyan and blue) are authentic NES colors, though I'm sure some of you may have noticed that there's a few colors too many for a strict 8-bit sprite.  The simple explanation is that it's a "layered sprite", like a number of the Mega Man boss characters.  In Joseph's case, he uses an absurdly greedy 3 layers -- 3 colors for his body (black, olive-gold, and dark brown), 3 for his clothing and face (white, what would be blue for his pants, and black), and 3 colors for his outfit overlay (cyan, blue, and black).  I thought about reducing the colors to simulate 2 layers, but after seeing official skins like Ballade and Slashman -- especially Slashman -- I decided not to worry about it after all.

I hope you enjoy this skin and the accompanying bot!

As a sidenote, if there's any problems with overlapping skin name ("Joseph" is pretty generic...) or file names ("JOCO" should be okay...), I can release a patched version that changes the skin name or data file names.

Well... it was pretty obvious, all and all.  Though I like FGG's guess of "Antoine from Sonic SatAM".  So much so, in fact, I was tempted to edit the running animation into Antoine just to mess with you guys.  But then things came up and I got busy, so...  XD

Anonyman v3 Skin/Bot/Base Skin Replacement (http://www.mediafire.com/download/eq6w8rh965txnj6/Anonymanv3Pack.zip) (32.50 KB)
(click to show/hide)
Sooooo... everything works exactly like it should.  No error messages, no complex overriding of peoples' BOTINFO files, nothing like that.  But I did encounter an unexpected bit of silliness while testing.
As noted in the Readme, if you use the base replacement skin while running class-based modifications, any class that uses the default/base skin will appear as Anonyman.  Kind of funny, but also kind of counter-productive to the intention.  My suggestion?  Don't load the base skin replacement file if you intend to play class-based modifications.

I'm also releasing this today:

Title: **RELEASE** Mega Man Christmas Carol Music Pack
Post by: Joseph Collins on January 04, 2015, 02:45:37 AM
I can't remember the last time I did this...  Wait, no, I can.  Some time in August.  Of 2013!
In any case, I have something new for you folks.  It's not a skin... and it's not a bot...  No, it's something completely different.

It's a music pack!  But not just any music pack.

Back on the day after Christmas of last year, I finally did something people had been interested in for a while.  I finally released the entire Mega Man Christmas Carol soundtrack (http://www.sprites-inc.co.uk/showthread.php?tid=1032&pid=17979) in MP3 format.  Awesome, right?  Well, it gets more awesome.
Today, since I still had the WAV files handy, I decided to work on a version for Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch specifically.

And here it is:

Dunno if you're still reading this thread, but go ahead (if you haven't already).  Credit is great, too.  I'd appreciate that.

Alright, so.  I was going to release this yesterday, but I got a sudden case of "gun-shyness" and changed my mind.
Well, after playing a few offline skirmishes with this loaded, I've un-changed my mind and have decided to go for it.
(Some sneaky Petes downloaded it for the brief period of time it was listed here, too...  Clever critters~)
