MM8BDM: Mega Man 8 Expansion Public Thread

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

Am I the only one who liked the idea that maps would be included?

[Kapus]

Probably.

[Knux]

I am against the idea of having the PU version of Flash Stopper because of a bad thought that came to mind: what if it gives people seizures? If you're going through that route, you might as well place a warning after the Cutstuff logo, just to be safe.

It could be me, but it popped into my mind in the middle of the night and it kept me wondering. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want the site or anyone to be in trouble because something in the game affected someone.

Shamelessly copy and pastes mm8bdm's readme

MEGA MAN 8-BIT DEATHMATCH CONTAINS A LOT OF FLASHING LIGHTS AND PATTERNS IF YOU ARE
PRONE TO SEIZURES OR ANY OTHER RELATED HEALTH PROBLEMS, DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME OR
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FIRST NONE OF THE MEGA MAN 8-BIT DEATHMATCH TEAM TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ANY INJURY OR SICKNESS CAUSED BY THIS GAME.

[Knux]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I still think it could be a good idea to place it in a more visible place though since not everyone knows how to open the wad.

[BiscuitSlash]

The original flash stopper can potentially hurt your eyes a lot.

Go play "Brightman's Rave Party" from the Best Map Pack Ever and you'll see what I mean. Me and Super Raveman were playing in that map and neither of us could survive more than 10 seconds of it. That should say something.

[Knux]

Well, my main concern is that the disclaimer (and maybe even the whole README) is placed somewhere visible to everyone else that doesn't even know what SLumpeD is.

That aside, question: Was Magnet Beam (from Megaman 1) ever discussed? I know it's not needed because there is Rush Coil, Item 1 and Rush Jet which are simply easier to use, but I was still curious as to if it was thought of at a point.

[Rozark]

likewise, but add item 3 to that.

[Fyone]

I'm not sure if anyone brought this up, but why not switch the RJ (Rush Jet) in MM2BUB to RM (Rush Marine). I think all you have to do is switch the sprite if I'm correct.

[GameAndWatcher]

I believe you mean MM2BUB.

[Fyone]

I fix.  

[Jafar]

I'm not sure if anyone brought this up, but why not switch the RJ (Rush Jet) in MM2BUB to RM (Rush Marine). I think all you have to do is switch the sprite if I'm correct.

Most of the taller characters (Stone Man, Frost Man, etc.) wouldn't fit properly inside the Rush Marine sprite.

As I posted in the screenshot thread.

The MM8 Expansion features skins for Health/Energy. All the MM1 maps will now feature their correct styled health and energy sprites. The question is. Do you want to MM7 and MM8 maps featuring 8 bit versions of the MM7 and MM8 health/energy respectively?

[Knux]

Well I think that if you're gonna do custom sprites for health and ammo for MM1, you might as well go all the way, right? Of course, it's only a side thing and shouldn't be prioritized. But if it's not much work, go ahead. I'm sure I could do them too, but I won't because of what you said about submitting things. Unless you want me to.

[Ivory]

It only took me about 10 minutes on and off to make it work. Including ripping the sprites and editing the code. It's dead simple.
