MM8BDM v5 Public Thread - MM9 Expansion

[Messatsu]

Are you looking to for a setting to disable boss music changes outright (including victory music) or just the boss music?  Also would this be primarily for a mod or the vanilla game?

[Orange juice :l]

My B, was referring to the change of music that occurs in Team LMS when only one player remains on a team (extending to FFA-LMS if applicable, I don't know the boss music criteria off the top of my head). Essentially it would be an extra variable to decide if it plays or not. It would pretty much be a matter of giving more options vs how difficult it would be to implement, as I don't really know how the music change is handled.

I just had a random idea, dunno if it's the best place to put it here but anyway
can Needle Cannon and Yamato Spear shoot projectiles 1 by 1 instead of by stream of 3? You can achieve the same result by holding fire for 3 projectiles, so Iunno why this was done except maybe for canon purpose

As a server-sided variable, an option to disable music changes would be really simple. However, an option like this would logically up to the player rather than the host of the server.
Implementation of such a feature on the client's side would be fairly difficult and inconsistent as it once again require mappers to update their packs to use a clientsided music script.


As a server-sided option, it would logically need to be reset on map or round change, and even then a music reset still occurs when a new round of LMS/TLMS/Duel/whatever other world-resetting modes there are begins. Which... to my knowledge isn't something we can control. [If I'm wrong here, please correct me]

I just don't think it would make sense for a server host to completely control something as preferential as whether boss or victory music plays.

*agree*
Think the reason it does that is those weapons are old and use just 28 ammo.

what

[fortegigasgospel]

Its a burst fire, you fire three projectiles per single ammo use.

This question may have been answered, but are there any plans to change the music of MM7DW1, MM7DW2, MM7BOSS, MM7OBOS, and MM7END from the Rockman 7 FC versions to be more in line with the sound of the rest of the MM7 stages? The contrast between the sounds is noticeable, and it would be nice to have the whole soundtrack be consistent.

[MusashiAA]

I provided a cover to replace MM7END, don't know if it's going to be used or not. Don't know if the other 7FC tracks have already been replaced.

Wich will be the wily boss? twin devil? mecha shark? and will be us able to use the fake revolver?

We'll find out soon enough. Patience.

Although, I don't remember, was Fake Man confirmed to be included with this expansion in some way, or is it just focusing on the main game and not the DLC?

[Jakeinator]

I'm going to assume fake man is going to be involved in some way because he is the closest thing to the important new guy (much like say dark man, bass, king, duo but less involved since he's optional DLC). Now I'm not sure if its going to be as simple as a map and a skin or much more involved but time will tell.

[Gummywormz]

Will there be any breaking changes for mods aside from the usual SBARINFO, WEPACS, and player class changes (especially if there are changes beyond new damagetypes)?

[Russel]

Yes. Very much so. I will be handling information regarding to that and there will be a thread related to it following v5's release.

Did you know Dr. Wily has invented TWO final boss battles for V5? You either face one or the other. How sneaky!

I wonder... does this relate to Dr. Wily's speech before the final boss of the Wily Tower chapter?

"Really? You walk into my traps all too simply, Maestro! Now, if only that evil robot had not escaped my lab I would have had something fun planned for you. It doesn't even matter to me that you smashed him up. I still have samples of Evil Energy! Which I will refine into a new, more controllable form. And, if you think you will find it here, you are wrong. My samples are in another castle! It won't be long now, my master plan will soon unfold! The world will tremble before my genius! You however, will not be here witness to it... as you will be joining King in the scrap heap! Wahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaa!"

PS. This is not the trailer. I will post that when we have a release date.
