[Weapons Expansion] Dark Man and Fake Man

[Dark Phil]

Hey, as a Mega Man fan it has always made me mad that after you beat Dark Man in Mega Man 5 you don't get a weapon. Then in Mega Man 9 they do not give you a weapon for beating Fake Man. Here is what I had in mind. Lets make those weapons in death match. Because I really suck at programming I need your help so here is what I had as an idea for the weapons:

Plasma Field:
The energy drains from it while it is activated
Acts as Dark Man's shield does
initial shot activates the shield, every shot after shoots the shield in front of and behind the player



Fake Cannon:
Essentially a stronger Mega Buster
Shot strength would take off 3 bars instead of 1 and shoot faster
Energy: 1 shot per bar

These ideas are very open to change so if you have an idea feel free to speak up!

Have you taken a look at the weapon making tutorial thing yet?
You could always start making them yourselves and sending them to someone when you cant quite get it to do something.

Two weapons hardly make an expansion.

[Dark Phil]

I had tried to figure out the weapons tutorial but had no luck at all with it.
I realize that it was a rather lame expansion which is why I named it what I did. The only reason I put it in that category was because that seemed to be the most appropriate place at the time.

If these ever come out, will you put them in an LMS rotation? I'd love to see these beside the 8-10 pack, V, and PU weapons. (If a patch is made by someone that is...)

[Russel]

Obvious poke is obvious...

[Dark Phil]

My hope would be that if these ever do get made (crossing fingers) that they would be made available for people to do whatever with. (Hopefully into the actual game...even though that is very unlikely).

But I do have a general 2D image of what this should look like.

Dark Man's weapon is called Plasma Field, according to the Ruby Spears cartoon.

ok. I will make that change. Do you know if Fake Man's weapon has a name?

[-FiniteZero-]

You could give it a name, like Police Revolver.

[Dark Phil]

If anyone feels gutsy enough to try making these be my guest. I have continued to have no luck at all at even beginning to try to make these myself. Even if we end up with 5 different versions of the same weapon, we can then sort it out and figure which one is the best.

If you give me sprites for the icon and FPS view then I can make Fakeman's weapon!

[Dark Phil]

I have a very rough idea for the icon and am not sure where to get the sprites for the FPS view. If I can get the template of the sprite I know the color scheme (assuming that what you are talking about is the buster image) and I will try to get you the Icon as soon as I can.

[Russel]

The HUDs can be done with coding in you're using buster/throwing animations....

[Dark Phil]

This is the rough I idea I had for the icon:
