[EXPANSION] Cave Story

[Balrog]

HOWEVER, I must make this clear:  I want this to be a quality pack, so I'm not accepting anything and everything that gets thrown my way.  Anyways, I kind of just thought of this, and with holidays approaching, it's not going to be done by the end of the year, or maybe not even by the end of next month.  It will be done whenever I feel we have enough material.  Anyways, if you want to contribute, feel free to tell me what you'd like to contribute.  Just remember, I have the right to reject anything, and I will use that right.

Remember these words. Send me crap and you will be ignored.

Anyway, I will be your project coordinator. Taking a page from Ye Olde Doom Bible, the entries for this will be organized into priorities of Vital, Desired, Non-Vital, Available(already done), and Optional(If you've done all of the other Vital and Desired stuff that you can feel free to do these. They will be placed on the back burner as far as shipping is concerned).

MAPS (<priority> <map code> - <nice name>(<Area>) - <person making it>)

MAP GUIDELINES(on top of MM8BDM)

32x32 would be nice, but is not required: If you think it'll make your map more fun, feel free to add steps, slopes and whatnot. I'm going for fun here, not authenticity - although that's nice too.
Use MM weapons
Machine Gun = Needle Cannon
Snake = Search Snake
Spur = Proto Buster
Missile Launcher = Crash Bomb
Super Missile Launcher = Drill Bomb
Fireball = Napalm Bomb
Bubbler = Rain Flush
Blade = Shadow Blade
Nemesis = Ballade Cracker

Weapon use corresponds to what weapons you would have at that point in CS. For example, Stony Sands Zone would have Needle Cannon, Crash Bomb, Napalm Bomb, Rain Flush, and Shadow Blade.

I'm also going to need a server host for testing maps, preferably one with Steam so I can IM them when I wanna do a test session.

PM me or post here with any questions.

i Shall see if i could do the Mimiga Village...since i have the tiles for said area and others  

[Korby]

Wait, it needs to be 8-bit, doesn't it?

[Blaze Yeager]

I shall convert the Tiles into 8-bit yes...but if i run into difficulties...then i may ask for assistence with the tiles

[Mr. X]

While I appreciate you adapted my stricter quality control, did you have to leave in the part about the holidays?

[Balrog]

Wait, it needs to be 8-bit, doesn't it?

No, it does not. You can use the tiles ripped straight from the game, which incidentally isn't that hard.

Oops. I was hesitant to edit your post so I wouldn't get accused of quotemining.

waitsonomisery?

Nope. Misery just doesn't have a high enough resolution to rotate well. You can make a Misery + Balrog skin if you want, but remember: If you can, always do the stuff marked Vital first. I don't even have any real plans for skins, other than Blaze's MM!Quote since it's already done.

[RevolverOshawott]

Sorry, I actually don't have any real skills when it comes to this... I can usually only make suggestions...

[Balrog]

I understand. I'm really more of a concept guy more than anything else, and while I have a fair degree of technical skill, I can't make layouts for taters.

Before you complain about how Labyrinth(the one map I will be making) is going to suck, I'll be reskinning a DUEL32 map.

[Blaze Yeager]

oh so i can use the Regular tiles?

Sweet...i love using them over making 8-bit ones

[Balrog]

As do I. If you're wondering where to get the tiles, they're at ..doukutsudataStagePrt*.pbm. If you're wondering what the hell a PBM is, don't worry; all you need to know is that GIMP can open them.

Out of curiosity, what DUEL32 map do you think I should use?

bump-to-the-double-post

I am now working on reskinning SIPOOMA for the Labyrinth map. I'm also removing things like lifts and the exit switch, and just making the map fit more in MM8BDM.

[Balrog]

Time for a good ole fashioned progress bump.

Labyrinth is done, or at least as done as it's going to get. I found about about a week ago that pikmin555 is working on Outer Wall, and Blaze is now officially recognized as making Mimiga Village.

And with that, I've done all the contributing I can for this project. Let's hope people make the remaining maps.
