Bit of a suggestion. Some kind of variable for class limiting, just in case people get really sick of a team of woodmen stalling out a game of tlms for centuries or a hoard of galaxymen ruining payload or any other game modes. This mostly came up because of evil escort but it would be a nice option to have since having multiple of one class is a really strong strategy across multiple game modes.

Making the cart solid would cause it to become stuck very easily.

Thanks for the feedback! Everything will be taken into consideration. As a side note however, cleaning up aesthetics are last on my to-do list. I'm more of a substance over style kind of guy but I do want to make sure my maps are pretty to look at when they are released (as well with looking at least decent before posting screenshots).

Hey all! Back again for some new progress screenshots and some more previews. I got 1 more map to make before I get a solid 10. After that will be rigorous testing and touching up and then I SHOULD be ready to put out a public, host-able file for everybody!

Enough rambling lets get on with the previews!

(click to show/hide)

These first couple of images aren't really progress or changes to maps but these are to show off the back areas of these two maps.


EON01 - Scorching Inferno


EON02 - This Is a Bad Future.

This next map is another I've had done for a while but some textures were screwy and some areas need touching up.



EON03 - Under Pressure

This map has a similar story as to EON03 as to why it wasn't shown when the thread was first made.

EON05 - Mt. Slicer

Now then! Onto a new map. EON06 was already "done" when this thread was made BUT after looking back on it I disliked the layout and overall look of the map. So I went and completely redid it over the past couple of days (as of this post). I tried to keep the general idea I had with the old version of it being a more vertical based map compared to some of my others.



EON06 - Robot Cemetery

Last but not least, a look at the last numbered map so far, EON09. I posted a preview in the screenshots thread earlier but this version is changed slightly and its from a different angle.

EON09 - Warped Woods

Once again, special thanks to Dimpsy for providing me with some bonus sprites for this map pack, most notably for this set of images the scraps you see in EON06. Now then thanks to all of you as well for checking out the thread and I will return with another preview sometime soon!

People still use this thread, right? Anyways have a WIP map screenshot. As always with WIP stuff this shouldn't be taken as 100% finished.

(click to show/hide)

note: if it appears that there is scarcity of weapons, there is one right behind where the camera is and another that is barely not visible off to the left. This is the only spot where I could get a really good screenshot.

« on: May 30, 2016, 05:42:41 PM »

Oh hey there! Long time no see!

So, kept you waiting, eh? Nevertheless, EMPX is finally ready for a public beta!

You can download it here! Or you can use the mediafire mirror here!

Q&A

(click to show/hide)

Q: What does EMPX stand for?
A: Long story for this. I used to go by my stupid Sonic OC's name Eon so it was Eon Map Pack, after just changing to jakeinator I let EMP stick around because it is a neat acronym, and the X makes it sound cool.

Q: Don't you have a thread for EMP already?
A: Yes but this is pretty much a complete and total do-over, and I am aiming for 15 maps so that's why it is here in the WIP section.

Q: When will we be able to get our hands on this?
A:As I stated before, the real v1 of this will have 15 maps so even more Soon™.

Q:Hey! What the heck happened to 10 maps?
A: I think that half was a better idea and close to the new year was a good starting point, sorry but you'll just have to wait a little longer!

Now without further ado, have some screenshots!

I mean graphics aren't everything but if a 4 million dollar budget 2D platformer looks worse than a heavily budgeted early PS2 game theres a problem. This isn't even a matter of the art style trying to look low poly either, I've seen screenshots where Beck's face texture was slightly coming off of his model and don't even get me started on the cheese pizza explosions. Also from what I've seen of any actual gameplay from the demo the velocity at which Beck goes up and down so quickly when he jumps makes it look like a god damn action 52 game.

Just an OC of mine. Ulysses is a guy with an evil spirit hiding in his soul and as a way to pay Ulysses back, the spirit gives Ulysses the power of darkness. Though he is one who fights for good the spirit tries to pull him toward the path of evil.

Drew this while not paying attention in school and inked it at home. I really need to work on my inking skill.

Oh hey, I haven't been around here lately, oops. I've been hanging around and I've been fairly active on 8BDM but I haven't really logged in or posted anything in a LONG time because one, I didn't really have any reason too, and two, my personal life has been eating up all my time. Recently I've gotten some large amounts inspiration and motivation when it comes to mapping so I'll probably post a screenshot or two in the screenshots thread sooner or later. Also I might as well hang out and look over the thread for TheMod.pk3 because I'm on the dev team for that abomination of code.

CHANGELOG

(click to show/hide)

Classes Removed
- Duo: Removed due to desync issues
- Dimpsy: Removed because this class simply sucked and was hard to work with
- Boost Train: Removed due to being pretty hard to use and for being just a lolclass instead of something competent
- Captain Falcon: Removed due to feeling that he doesn't work well in an FPS environment at all without major overhauls that'd take away from this actually being C. Falcon
- Rin: Removed due to problems with making the class viable
- Blews: Removed due to a temporary dropout from the team, he’s working on a revamp for later

NOTE: There is a chance some of these classes will be back later on, most certainly Duo will be at the very least, we just didn’t want to be in development hell for some of these classes

Classes Added
+ Protoman (he was supposed to be in v1, oops)
+ Tails
+ Belmont
+ Ignis
+ Omega Zero
General Changes

 > Classes
  > Megaman and Bass (lol)
   = A lot of quality life changes were done and some visuals were tweaked, nothing major done to Mega and Bass on their own.
  > Zomo.EXE
   = Revamped entirely from the last version due to negative feedback
  > Sal
    +- Some balance changes were done here and there such as nerfing ammo regen on dark pulse, nerfing the damage on swift a tiny bit and buffing the final smash
  > Darkile
   = Revamped entirely to be a lot more viable and allow for more options than before, also has a new design made by Dimpsy
  > Red Mage
   = Instead of spawning with two mystery tomes, you spawn with 2 random spells already and an item to reshuffle your spells if you want to switch up attacks
   = All black magic spells have been revamped in some way
   = Buffs take 25% less ammo so you aren’t a sitting duck after using one
   = Aerora was also a spell that was changed
  > Sgt. John
   = Missiles are now explosive projectiles rather than simple ones
   = Removed the concept with shooting to gain ammo for the barrage as it caused desyncs, now it just auto charges
   = Rage now activated via alt. Now it also shoots the EMP so you can get in a combo hit
   = Napalm Shower changed up a bit to miss less often
   = Swapped out old alts for new grenade based ones

 > Items
  > TheMod Crates
   + Now you don't have to hope for party balls to get unique items!
   = Also drops Eddie so you can get different vanilla weps alongside customs with the Auto-Head
  > Power Stand
   + Cosmic Man and Glaceon were changed up a bit in their attack patterns
   + Mellorne and Cactaur assists added
  + Drops from Crates
  + FU Bomb added
  + Super Spicy Curry added
  - Green and Red Shell removed
  = Dimpsy's old Duff Mcwhalen item has become one anyone can use
  > Auto-Head
   = Gives new weapons, doesn't give axed weapons
  > TheMod Emblem
   = Basically just the Smash Ball but given a new coat of paint to avoid just being a Smash Bros.-esque mod

 > Copy Weapon Edits
   = A grand majority of the Vanilla weapons have been altered to suit the environment of TheMod, though they all mostly function similarly so it won't alienate players. Some were edited last version, but now there have been a lot of new ones implemented.

 > Custom Copy Weapons
  = Some classes now drop copyweps that Mega Man/Bass can pickup and use, there’s also some assists that might, along with the lineup of copyweps being altered on Auto-Head. Boost Power, a weapon that BoostTrain dropped previously, has been moved over to Auto-Head for use
  - Copyweps removed : Boulder Toss, Rave Beam, Wild Sprint, Blue Shell (now an item), Launcher, and Pharaoh Wave
  + Copyweps added: Missile, Nuclear Tackle, Cosmic Knuckle, BN Fire, BN Aqua, BN Wood, BN Elec, BN Break, BN Wind, Psy-Buster, and Darkness Buster
 = Some of the custom copyweps were changed such as Harp Note, but other than that one they were all minor changes

I know you guys probably don't really care, and considering this incident happened about three days ago, I can totally understand why. I'll just put this in a spoiler so you don't have to see my rant if you just want to scroll through the thread and see what's on everyone's minds.

(click to show/hide)

So, a few days ago there was a bit of a misunderstanding in the halloween expansion thread. Dimpsy just made a little joke about the sans skin being an impostor since ha-ha he made a sans skin and it was just skull man in a sans costume. He wasn't really trying to piss off anyone. Mods came in and said please stop being mad about this and go on with your day. Pretty standard, just a little misunderstanding, take it to PMs yaknow? Well today out of nowhere, Dimpsy got a PM from someone, not going to name any names here but I will say that he originally had absolutely NOTHING to do with the misunderstanding beforehand. And he basically told him that his apologies are hollow and some other spiteful stuff. Dimpsy is one of my good friends, and even if he wasn't this shit would still piss me off to no end. Everyday when I log into my computer, I take a look at my bookmarks and see that I still have these forums on there, you know just in case. I still play 8BDM, and I do work on theMod so at least keeping tabs on here is important, but God damn, every time I look at the bookmark I get really tempted to log out for real, and remove it from my bookmarks. I do not like coming here and checking the forums only to see shit like this happen so often and how much Cutstuff seems more and more unfriendly and seems more and more like some sort of snooty exclusive club. Infact, this is like the first post of any value that I've made in a long ass time, because of crap like this. I can't say anything on the forums without fear of someone coming around and berating me for what I've said and trying to protect their little friendship circle. Today was different though, I really just felt like I need to finally get something off my chest and the little debacle that happened kind of gave me a way to go ahead and say what I wanted to. I probably won't look at responses for a while, and I'll probably just disappear into the aether once again. Not to log back in for another few months whenever v5 comes out.

Hello? Is this thing on?

*ahem* I'd like to request ONE THING, from you guys.

Can you actually get some real moderation on the YD classes servers? Both of the popular ones always end up with trolls and lots of drama. Just today I got 4 different people trying to talk shit to me and I don't want to deal with it. Yes I know it isn't completely in your control, but It probably gives your mod a bad name if every single server that uses it is just a cesspool of shit. I honestly don't want to play this mod online anymore because I cannot handle how toxic and terrible of an experience the servers are. So PLEASE, can you guys give rcon to a person who isn't afraid to kick legit cyberbullies?

I couldn't just ignore them either since they just poured in one after another, so I didn't know to ignore someone until they started acting like a total douchebag, after a while I didn't want to put up with their shit.

Honestly i find the voice acting in the DS port to be negligible and kind of hilarious honestly, so you should be fine. Otherwise, I'd recommend  playing both versions if you get the double team ds because it wouldn't be as full of an experience playing as half the navis and having half the double souls.
