Title: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy - Now Updated for v6b!
Post by: Max on July 10, 2011, 06:28:33 PM

Rockman No Constancy
 
Rockman No Constancy is a Mega Man 2 ROM Hack created by IKA originally in 2007 (as you can see above)! It features 8 new weapons and new tilesets for all the robot masters and Wily. This is an expansion for the hack, using its tilesets to create new maps and recreating the weaponry as separate packs that can be loaded together for a full experience.

I might try making the Bubbleman skin.

Post by: Jc494 on July 10, 2011, 06:44:28 PM
Yes I ripped the tilesets. If anyone would like to map, all maps expect for Quickman, Woodman and Flashman have their tilesets ripped, and I even have the music done.

Don't forget a skin for Crashman!  He's only got one drill-arm-blaster-spear-thing!
I could probably get some skins done, but not promising anything as of yet.

EDIT:  Also, lemme just excavate the old music pack (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=1594&p=43625&hilit=Rockman+No+Constancy#p43625) for ya.  Might wanna do some renaming, looping and all.  In fact, all these songs fade out instead of looping, but at least they're in the right format.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy

Oh hey man, you're right! Thanks for that reminder. I believe JC has already covered and looped the music!

Post by: CHAOS_FANTAZY on July 10, 2011, 08:45:08 PM
He did?  That's great!  I can't wait to get my hands on them.

I hate to be posting again so soon, but I'm taking up Bubble Man's RNC skin.  Since I created some work, it's the least I could do, and I was probably going to anyway.  Diligence isn't exactly a guarantee, but skins aren't exactly the most important part of the expansion, right?
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Korby on July 10, 2011, 09:31:01 PM
Try and make the RNC skins have different animations for walk/fire/pain like FC and 10 Slashman

That would be cool, and make them more than just edits.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Max on July 10, 2011, 09:37:52 PM
I partly agree with what Korby said. Heat should run with his hand on fire, Bubble loses that ridiculous waddle and so on.

Not sure what he meant by "more than an edit", though.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Korby on July 10, 2011, 09:39:18 PM
Well, the original sprites are edits, and the easy way out would be to edit the sprites and not really change anything.

Like all the megaman edit skins!

This way, you get cool new walking/firing/etc. animations.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: CHAOS_FANTAZY on July 10, 2011, 10:28:36 PM
Sadly, you won't be getting such from me.  I'm so rusted, edits are almost all I can muster.  I might go for a custom pain, but other than that, he'll be pretty much the same.
In my defense, you can only waddle ridiculously in flippers...

Sorry 'bout that, but I already started... :/

EDIT:  I've finished my basic model of RNC Bubble-Man.
(http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg27/scaled.php?server=27&filename=bubrncsprites.png&res=medium)

I've changed the head (antenna to flat mohawk thing) , eyes (goggles are now opaque) , and arms (Added details to the buster seen on the buster in RNC) .  He's in his original colors, but there's a color code showing how he'll translate over.  There would be more emphasis on the flat mohawk in the front/back rotations, but it's kind of hard, because...y'know...it's flat.  :p

The main detail is the fact there are TWO sets of hurt sprites here.  The first one is recolored hurt sprites from the original Bubbleman.  However, the second one are some modded sprites I threw together on the suggestion of Korby.  It's supposed to be Bubbleman struggling underneath the weight of his scuba suit/armor/whatever.  He lowers his head, his goggles crack, and his air tank breaks open.

This was put together in an hour or so, so more details can be added if necessary.  I'm just gonna leave this here, and I ask two things.  One, any suggestions available to improve any of the sprites.  Two, which set of hurt sprites do you like more?  If there are no suggestions in three days, I'll make the skin with the hurt sprites with more votes.  If there are, well, I guess I'll be spending the time remaking them.

One thing I ask of this expansion is that the RNC versions of the MM2 Robot Masters be put into the classes mod as alt. skins.

I would love nothing more than to be able to play classes as the RNC version of Bubble Man.

And yeah, good progress so far and stuff. Might take up one of the levels while I'm at it...

You could make him float around instead of waddle.

I don't understand why someone would want this.  I think it's ridiculous, and it looks more lazy on the developer's part than a walking animation.  Also, imagine floating around goofily with a Rush Jet on--it just wouldn't look right.

Even Capcom was too lazy to make walking animations for a few of their RMs.  Since the rational, walking animations are here, I feel I should use them.  That's my opinion, though; if you want to try, be my guest.

(Also my SLumpEd has a problem with hovering skins so yeah)

Okay, I've decided to try my hand at Crash Man's stage.

If I make the layout, will someone be able to implement the textures?

Would it be too much to ask for the other frame of spin wheel? And rising sun... does that have a second frame? It goes too fast to tell in the blurry youtube videos.
Also noticed that in the boss refights Flash Man's eyes are darkened out, could/should that be another skin?

Bubble looks cool, but I'd appreciate it if you redid the walking to make it look like he's running rather than waddling. Since it's pretty hard to run with flippers on, I'm sure nobody would mind if you removed them! Not like he swims in-game anyway xD

You lose me right around here.  Remodel Bubbleman without flippers, and give him a good running animation?  I'm not sure if I could do this well, but I could try it...

Also, GRAAAAAH NOBODY IS COMMENTING ON THE HURT SPRITES *Bangs head on wall*
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Jc494 on July 11, 2011, 09:15:17 PM
2 things:

Firstly, I ripped all the tilesets and weapon sprites in around 1 day (talking hour wise I didnt spend an entire day doing it) and I think I deserve a hand.

Secondaly, me thinks we are gonna finish this expansion in record time!

Also CF, second set of hurt sprites plox.

Your name is in size 200 150 text on the front page JC! You've certainly been working harder than I have ;D

As for Chaos, I think you could take the edits made to the goggles, air tank etc. and apply them to the original pain.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy

Hit sprites use the Front/R and Back/R directions, so yours are technically incorrect  :p

Concerning the Bubble Man skin, I think the most preferable option would be to edit the two poses you made into front/r and back/r rotations. Then I would definitely go with those ones.

Also, Bubbleman will be finished tomorrow.  Currently, "Apply second set's broken air tank and cracked goggles to first set" is winning with 2 votes.  Last chance, folks!

The crystals.... is that.... Quick Man??? Never played RNC (only watched a Let's Play) so I can't really tell. The lasers sort of tipped me off though.

The stages look absolutely beautiful and seem to be a real blast to play on. Balanced weapon selection, simple and organized layouts, and cool stage gimmicks seem to round out each and every battle venue.

Of course I've never played these maps so what I'm saying could be complete bullshit :lol: but at least it's positive nice-sounding bullshit! I can't wait for the release guys. And who knows, maybe when MM8 is finished the RNC stuff could be a v4? :cool:

I will now defend this map to the bitter end and take any constructive criticism as a personal attack towards myself.
In all honesty, I fully respect your opinion and calmly tell you that you should shut the hell up your opinion matters.

I'd say that areas shown in the screenshots may be somewhat precarious to traverse. However, these areas are considered by me as minor parts of the map and probably would not be where the action would be taking place. Therefore, people would most likely not fall off due to people shooting them, but only because they fail at platforming.
Platforming!? In a game based off a game about platforming?

I guess we'll play it by ear and see how it goes?

Yes, well. YD expects me to make Wily 2 in a certain shape that is not so friendly, so I just paused mapping.

Myroc's working on Wily 3, and he was annoyed at making the textures, so I offered and he is using temporary textures until I finish them.

Blaze has a quite a few maps to make, but he'll make woodman NC. Eventually anyways.

We still need mappers for Wily 4 and Metalman though.

Hm...I think I might have an idea for Metal Man No Constancy. If someone gives me the tilesets, I might attempt to texture it myself.

No guarantees, though.

Also, question: Is the RNC Bubble Man map in this expansion any different to the one in Myroc's map pack (aside from adding in RNC weapons)?

Horray Metalman is done :D

I'm not too sure about that 3D floor yet, because it's possible that CutmanMike may release a new version with a downgraded Skulltag due to recent reports of crashing (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3242), but don't count my word on that.

We better damn well not be downgrading to a previous version. I'm currently retrofitting Clashman's map now that we can have copious amounts of 3D floors that doesn't look absolutely balls. Having such a large amount of effort be for nought would be rather irritating.

Black Background, Cut off the rocky textures and make the jagged parts linedefs similar to Plantman or Woodman's grass, and the vines could be linedefs similar to some of the effects in Bubbleman's stage.

The problem doesn't lie with the weapon itself, it's how everybody uses it. Time Stopper would be a perfectly fine weapon in my opinion if people actually started using it like it's intended to be used, and not just for trolling purposes.

Except for the fact that this is an online community. Some people just won't grow up.

My personal opinion: ZW should refill incredibly slowly (perhaps 1/4 or 1/8 speed of other weapons) and only be usable when full to prevent troll spamming.

I disagree somewhat.
I have rarely seen Time Stopper just used for sheer trolling, it tends to be legitimate use.
My point is that Time Stopper is balanced so even trolling with it doesn't accomplish much; stopping 8 seconds with a weapon that was a bitch to get, breaks, and will take a minute to respwan before happening again? gg.
Za warudo on the other hand doesn't break. That means it needs every other limitation so even legitimate use is not op; stopping time is not to be taken lightly.

Wily Stage 6's music could work for RNCDW4...However, Wily Stage 5's music is also the boss theme, so I think it would be a bit redundant if the boss theme plays before there are 5 frags left/whatever.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Max on August 29, 2011, 08:31:46 AM
Originally we were going to have a Wily 1/2 stage and a Wily 3/4 stage, but the stages are all really different.

Wily 5 is the boss theme and Wily 6 is the title theme.
Title: Re: [Expansion]Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Shade Guy on August 29, 2011, 08:45:04 AM
Well, I think it's best for us to ignore the fact that both stages have the same music...Besides, it's a waste to scrap an unfinished map just because of the same music.

Though if any of the mappers for DW1-3 give up and all the robot master stages are done, it's probably best to release the project without whatever map has been given up on. We don't need ALL of the Wily stages...But if we do finish all of them, that would be pretty nice too.

If I'm not mistaken Flash Man's map is the one that looks like Fake Man City right? Then that means YD hasn't updated the first page like a good boy and changed the status. And, seeing as how the status is outdated, I'm just going to ask right here.

How is the project coming along? No really, how is it? Which Robot Masters have yet to be mapped, and how many Wily stages do you have done? I can't wait to see this come to fruition.

One of the Wily stages should have a Quick Beam area with Guts Lifts. As in, there are three Guts Lifts moving simutaneously and adjacent to one another (to the point where you can strafe between the lifts without falling). You cross these lifts to get a special weapon/item like Za Warudo or an E-Tank / Treble Sentry combo or something. Periodically, a Quick Beam will come zooming down one of the "lanes" and you have to move to a different Guts Lift to avoid the beam. Oh yeah, did I mention there would be a pit of spikes below the lifts so you die when you screw up?

I know that's a bit TOO evil, but what would an RNC tribute be if it didn't make you want to break your keyboard? :cool:

You know what would be even better? If you used those Super Guts Lifts that move at the same speed Mega Man does. That way, if you keep holding the "forward" button down you'll do just fine, but if you get hit too many times or have a memory lapse you'll plummet right off.

It's only a small segment of a side-path to get a completely optional weapon. It's not mandatory or anything, and it should be tucked away at the side of the level or something, so I don't see why it would "detract from play" too much. Theoretically only one person can run the "Guts Gauntlet" at a time anway, since you can only board the Super Guts Lifts when they approach the edge of a platform. SCIENCE

One thing you always have to take in consideration with a map is how it will work with more than one person.  Picture this.
Dood2 is chasing Dood1, trying to kill him.  Dood1 runs into the Guts Lift room, trying to get Za Warudo so they can have some safe passage.  Dood2 chases after him, but can't board the lifts because they're too late.  Dood2 walks away to go get some ammo or a weapon or whatever.  Dood1 skillfully avoids the Quick Beams, he's almost there, he jumps...
Bam.  Dood1 gets shot in midair and falls to his death because Dood2 hit him with Metal Blade or something.
Point is, this sounds like it'd cause raging and overall not be worth the trek.


Speaking of Za Warudo, is it going to be Duel-banned or no?

Rockman No Constancy is a famous ROM hack for the Japanese version of Mega Man 2 that changes the stages, bosses, weapons, and even the music. I haven't played it myself, but I've been watching gameplay videos for reference.

Oh yeah, this is Wily Stage 2:

Small suggestion so I can keep this project alive: should the Weapon Energy pickups and E-Tanks be green like Mega Man's default hard mode colours? You should if you're going to make the green Mega Buster the default in this mod.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I think you've been playing too much Minecraft. That's a mod, not a texture pack. A texture pack only modifies the graphics, this adds new maps and weapons to play with.

Title: Regarding RNCDW3
Post by: Mendez on August 04, 2012, 11:56:51 PM
Not to worry folks, the general layout for RNCDW3 is done and the textures are ready for implementation. The major issue right now is this crazy gimmick YD's been wanting since he told me to make the map.
The general idea is to allow players to play on the ceiling, allowing access to weapons not available on the floor, as well as other items.
Right now, I'm questioning whether the idea is worth implementing, or if it's even possible to implement. I'll talk to Jax about the idea, while I'll check with the RNC crew about the layout
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Hallan Parva on August 05, 2012, 01:04:02 AM
> make the map two separate "zones"
> make the ceilings of each zone TVs that display the other zone from the top down
> players warp between zones on contact with the ceiling
> projectiles warp through the ceilings as well
> no complicated ACS wizardry, and it looks like people are on the ceiling
> ?????
> PROFIT!

I'm not sure how map friendly this is (or even if it would cause lag or not) but it's an idea.
Title: I never thought of that, Smash. I'll keep it in mind.
Post by: Mendez on August 05, 2012, 02:03:33 AM
That idea could work just as well, but trying it on a large scale might cause giant frame rate drops since you have to render large portions of the other zone at a single time. I'm probably wrong, but that sort of thing just wouldn't be good for folks to play on. Also, I want to see if I can make the thing myself in Decorate and see if Jax can correct any mistakes I make. Coding can be quite fun to learn sometimes, especially when your hard work is shown on your own map.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy
Post by: Korby on August 05, 2012, 02:32:42 AM
Could remedy that by only having certain swap points.
Title: Ceiling gimmicks
Post by: Mendez on August 08, 2012, 08:29:08 PM
Well folks, we have a bit of an issue with RNCDW3. It seems that fighting on the ceiling is not as easy, or as practical, as I once thought. While the idea has been implemented, you just can't get sprites to rotate 180 degrees while on the ceiling. So, would you folks be okay with fighting on your head while on the ceiling? Because the general layout is still there for use. And I would love to have fighting on the ceiling and the ground.
Also, I think Smashbro's idea might not work because YD just told me that cameras can't rotate upside down and that projectiles can't be shot between zones like that.
Either way, I should have the map ready soon enough.

Post by: TheDoc on August 09, 2012, 12:27:07 AM

Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy
Post by: TheDoc on August 15, 2012, 12:22:00 AM
In the hack, it's basically Time Stopper, so I'm guessing they're trying to make Za Warudo unique in its own way without making it as trollerific as Time Stopper.

Actually, I've used YD's version of Za Warudo, and it's not a shorter Time Stopper.

It's "Time Bender" from classes Flash Man. :ugeek:


Yes, now you TOO have the power to make people stop moving until they take damage!

Post by: Knux on August 16, 2012, 08:41:15 PM
It would be more interesting if it did something we haven't seen yet. What if opponents hit by the radius blast took damage based on range? That way, it could double as a set up for finishing off an opponent or scoring an almost sure frag.

Yeah, that probably not very creative. However, the idea is to bring something that's at least partially new.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy
Post by: TheDoc on August 17, 2012, 12:07:28 AM
How about it functions just like Time Stopper except you can switch weapons while it's activated. However, the ammo consumption is much more significant, therefore doesn't last nearly as long.

Post by: Myroc on August 22, 2012, 08:41:58 PM
Soon, probably within the week or the next. We did a testing round to nail down the last few issues, the result being that two maps have failed our quality tests, and will be reworked before the final release. We'll try to do this real quick. Beyond that it's all minor things, most of which we're fixing at the present moment we have already fixed. One map will be very easy to fix, the other should only take a day or two at most.

We're I'm currently contemplating what the flying fuck we're I'm going to do about Quick Man. We have concluded that the map is rather poor, but we I have no coherent idea on exactly where the map fails, and it's quite hard for us me to fix something when we I don't know what's broken.

We've been more busy this week than you'd think, fixing a whole bunch of issues we didn't previously know about. (Can you believe we had forgotten to set up an updated LMS rotation? Or that half of the maps didn't give you the green buster? Neither can I to be honest.) A great thanks to Beed for helping us find the majority of them. We still haven't done anything about Quick Man... though I am rectifying that as we speak, since no one else seems up for the task.

Rockman No Constancy
Level 78 Expansion

+The first three Wily Stages are all fun and unique, not being too bland and not cramming conveyor belt bullshit down your throat like I'd expected
+Weapons are mostly unique, Rumbling Bang is a blast
(click to show/hide)
+Most other stages are enjoyable and capture the feel they're going for rather well
+Credits well constructed, while not 100% accurate
>While playing it'll seem obvious who made what maps, even without prior knowledge about the expansion or the credits. Interprit this as you will, I view it as a positive.
>Crash Man's front frame is odd.
-Music is choppy, sometimes distorted like Wily 1 and Metal Man, sometimes REALLY LOUD like the Boss theme
-Quick Man's stage is misleading and difficult to navigate
-Bots will often spawn with no weapon and stand still
-Using chasecam during Ice Circle will crash Skulltag

I'd say it's a rather solid first release, though Quick Man left a bad taste in my mouth.

DW3's gimmick was a cool idea, but I wasn't really fond of how it looked in practice. RIDING THE CEILING WITH MAH HEAD!!!

The weapons are fun to use. Za Warudo especially.

Ice Circle is kind of hard to get on certain maps compared to how useful it is. Any particular reason?
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (About time)
Post by: TheDoc on September 17, 2012, 12:53:11 AM
All of these maps were great, but some deserve attention, be it good (most likely) or bad.

Airman - I liked the multiple levels, but it felt......smallish.
Heatman - The fake floors were YUS. Beside that, it felt blandish, especially considering there was 1 RNC weapon (Proto Charge was all I found).
Metalman -Great job just overall. Simple, yet fun.
Flashman - LOVED the eye candy of the stage overall. Really added that feel to Flashman's stage.
Crashman - Meh.
Woodman - My eyes were forever blinded after that stage. SO MUCH WHITE! Not like you had much of a choice, though. Great design, but I'd like to see maybe one more weapon.
Quickman - I loved the gimmick where the beam would "reflect" off of the crystal. Excellent job.
Bubbleman - Great job. Liked the current gimmick.
Dr. Wily 1 - Music gimmick was pure genius, the underwater part was awesome, the Mecha Dragon (OH the Mecha Dragon! When I heard that sound I turned around and couldn't believe my eyes!) just everything about this level was yes.
Dr. Wily 2- Meh. Seems a bit bland.
Dr. Wily 3 - The first thing I noticed when I entered was that everyone but me was red....OH SHI-dead. LOVED the Team DM, and the gravity gimmick (although I was standing on my head) was awesome.
Dr. Wily 4 - The galaxy in the BG was amazing! Good job! Great showdown map.

Just when I thought it couldn't get better, the Final Boss blew my balls off. HNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG AWESOME job guys!

So yea, good work! Besides the missing Flashman No Constancy (and that Time Bender Za Warudo), I love it. And it's one of the two expansions ever released.

Wood Man's script is inconsistant with the other maps; it's still using the old music script and the Green Mega Buster giver scripts doesn't check for instagib like the other maps do.

Also, the horizontal bars for Rising Sun and Za Warudo are broken.

I've always been a sucker for the campaigns, so you can understand me when I say I'd love to see a secret boss (Mecha Dragon anyone?). Don't know what the reward would be (could be Wind Slicer because that's....his.....weakness?Is that even his weakness? Stop looking at me like that, these are suggestions!). Also, I noticed the music-begins-after-one-frag gimmick on RNCDW1 is only on the campaign. Was that intentional?

Title: Seriously. Never again.
Post by: Shade Guy on September 18, 2012, 08:55:57 AM
Well, it's been a long time coming, but it seems the Rockman No Constancy expansion is finally here. There was a large period where all work on this expansion stopped for no real reason, but thanks to Yellow Devil getting his shit together getting back to doing what he was supposed to do all this time (with some prodding here and there from Myroc, I assume), you lucky folks actually get to play the 12 maps (plus other stuff I don't care too much about) that have been in a solid year+ of development hell.

Over the large period in which progress suddenly halted, I was encouraged several times to take over the expansion, threaten to pull out my maps from the expansion to get a release without all 4 Wily Stages, pull out my maps and releasing them (retextured, of course) outside of RNC...Er, I think that's it. Of course, I did none of those things in the end. I'm not quite sure why, but I think it was because of two things: I'm a lazy bastard and didn't care enough to do any of these things, and inside me remained a small glimmer of hope that this damn expansion would eventually rise from the grave and be distributed in the form of a proper release. It seems my hope, while almost definitely ill-placed, worked out after all.

Perhaps it was best that the expansion didn't get released so soon, though. My mapping skill now, compared to back to the time when I first sent my attempt at Clash Man NC to Jack Corvus so he could add custom textures to it for me, has increased drastically. Over time, I have gone back to each and every one of my contributions to this expansion and overhauled it in one way or another. In other words, my maps would have sucked had the expansion been released, say, in 2011. That said, I would still have preferred that the gap of complete unproductivity wasn't as completely unproductive, but hey.

That said, I am never contributing to another expansion run by Europeans ever again.

I was disappointed by the quality of this expansion, even though I wasn't looking forward to it at all.

I would have written a review of this, but judging by the quality of it seeming like you don't even care about this expansion (really, how the fuck did you release this without noticing the broken green buster colours?), I'm not going to bother. Though there are positive things I can say, most of them are negative and most of these negative things are related to not caring about quality.

I can only hope that there will be big updates.

Post by: Gumballtoid on September 19, 2012, 08:25:02 PM
I'm sorry, but I completely agree with M712.

Among other things, my biggest complaints are the quality of the maps and the music rips. Heatman No Constancy is just boring beyond words, and Woodman No Constancy legitimately hurts my eyes. Airman No Constancy's textures felt spammed and it was just ridiculous-looking. As for the music rips, most of them are ridiculously loud compared to the rest of the game's music. Tone down the volume a bit, really.

And the icing on the cake was the final boss was ridiculous. It wasn't hard in the least; just tedious beyond all reason, and not really worth trying to beat for a mediocre ending.

However, this is v1a, so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and simply suggest you fix these. As things are, this expansion is just legitimately not fun.

Okay, so you know how I said this release is solid?

I played it some more, and I really regret saying that.

I have to say, this is a real disappointment for the most part. There are some positive things to say, but the negative things FAR outweigh them. For example, Woodman NC causes my eyes to bleed, the weapons are a lot of copypasta (*cough*ZAWARUDO*cough*), Heatman NC in general.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (About time)
Post by: Gummywormz on September 19, 2012, 11:21:23 PM
I'm disappointed in this too. Firstly, the weapons are mostly broken. Rising sun is a 2HKO with decent speed, refire rate, and ammo. You can use Delay Flame as a melee weapon and pretty much kill anyone instantly. Spin Wheel is broken damage-wise also but not as much as the others. Rumbling Bang could stand to do more damage for less of a radius, and Zawarudo could use a little length buff. The map's layouts are bland and fit for duel, not deathmatch. Finally as mentioned, there are oversights everywhere (like the victory music getting cut off...)

Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (About time)
Post by: MusashiAA on September 20, 2012, 10:09:18 PM
I'm gonna have to agree on the negative comments about this.

I was never enticed into using the new weapons because most of them aren't either very varied, different from their original counterparts or even original seeing that they were essentially the special weapons from MM2 modified a bit (you can't expect much from an old romhack). Some of them aren't even in the new maps.

Some maps are bland, and still need work:

AirNC lacks that pesky gimmick AirNoConstancy's stage had in the game (could be executed well if the map is built around it). A thing I noticed is that the two most common weapons are both from RnC: Delay Flame and WIND SLICER. Wind Slicer is understandable, but Delay Flame should be saved for HeatNC.

HeatNC is not only small when compared to its game counterpart, but also bland and lacking in weapons (it enforces pretty much one of three weapons on everyone, no matter where they spawn). The fake floors aren't really much of a gimmick, as they prove to be no handicap at all. It seriously needs an expansion and maybe two more weapons. Also, you would think the loud and high-pitched overlapping notes on the song are funny...they're not: they're tiring and stressing in a map that isn't. The song's pretty repetitive as well.

FlashNC is actually a good map. Varied weaponry (explosive, seeker, rapid, Air S-Wind Slicer), interesting layout. You might want to make Za Warudo a bit more hard to spot and get, and it's also pretty close to dat 2HKO, a large life capsule and a W-Tank to boost.

ClashNC isn't actually bad. Weapons are good, the layout is ok. My main grip is actually how repetitive and monotone the textures are, and the background image is very trippy...why does the landscape seems to be tall instead of wide?. There's also the fact that Rumbling Bang is easy to get, despite it being a very good weapon for DM. Rising Sun is a common weapon :I

BubbleNC doesn't have a bad layout, and it has lots of weapons (lots of RnC weapon as well, WTF? Why not in AirNC?). Finally, I see the gimmick that was supposed to be in AirNC, and it's a one-way corridor :I. Spin Wheel is a common weapon that should work wonders on this map but doesn't. Rising Sun is a common weapon (am I being hinted that Rising Sun is actually supposed to be an alternate Metal Blade?)

MetalNC is very simple and fun. The weapon position seems like a fair game for everyone, and I like that. I can see that this map was made to be simple right from the beginning. RISING SUN WANTS TO BE METAL BLADE. :S

QuickNC's layout is actually nice, and there's different weapons to try out depending on where you spawn. I didn't even know there was a lower area that borders a portion of the map. The laser isn't much of a threat, and the split isn't as well. Maybe lasers in the upper area, and more crystals that send the laser into a more traversed area? METAL BLADE IS HERE, OH MY GOD, WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?..although there are enough good and fun weapons in here to try out, so it kinda looks out of place.

WoodNC's textures are pretty white, pretty bright. Rising Sun (:I), Freeze Cracker, Blizzard Attack, Ice Circle...they all mix with the map, which leads to accidental deaths caused by random projectiles that can't be distinguished because of how bright the snow is. Honestly, I don't think there's much to be done about that, unless you pick a different weapon selection that doesn't blend in with the enviroment. The layout isn't all that bad, it's a circle with a varied terrain elevation. It snows in the background, but it snows upwards? Try making it actually snowing in the map and not just the background.

Wily1NC has an interesting layout with two concepts to use, and a varied weapon selection. I don't understand why Rising Sun tends to be more common than Metal Blade. Also, Za Warudo right now deservers to be kinda hard to get because of the ammo rate it recharges with each ammo capsule. In my honest opinion, it isn't that much of a cheap weapon, and Rumbling Hard deserves its spot if said issue with Za Warudo is fixed.

Wily2NC's layout is ok, and there's enough weapons based around it, as well as some all-around weapons. Spin Wheel works well in here, and Wild Coil is always a plus to me. Ice Circle would be a very nice weapon here 'cause of the conveyor belts. It's not really bad at all.

Wily3NC is quite innovative. The layout is nice, lots of good weapons to try. The place is a bit too claustrophobic, but I don't mind it that much. There is one thing, though: the movement while walking on the ceiling differs quite a bit from the normal movement, it's very slippery, and I believe the ceiling terrain should be based around that, because if it's not then it just becomes a nuisance to traverse and battle in it.

Wily4NC... oh boy. Duel arena layout with a weapon selection that punches so hard it punches me back into last week. Hard Knuckle, Atomic Fire, Power Stone and Za Warudo out of reach: ALL IN THE SAME FLOOR. What do you find below? EXPLOSIVES, save for Hyper Bomb which would be an overkill. I don't know if it would be fun to play with all these heavy weapons or if it would even last long enough to enjoy it. Hell, I'm not even sure if it would be fun since all there is to use is superbly powerful, just pick your poison and throw it at people and watch them melt.

All in all, it's pretty mixed up, and really doesn't live up to other expansions. It's not even a finished expansion, if I do say so myself. There's still work to be done in the map department, and some rethinking in the weapon department.

Rising Sun isn't just fun to use and useful when compared to Metal Blade (and Metal Blade itself is a standard weapon, for Pete's sake), and Spin Wheel's very situational. Ice Circle's movement halt should be replaced with just a movement slowdown, unless it's added into maps with gimmicks that force a player to move without input like BubbleNC or Wily2NC. Rumbling Bang is a very useful and powerful explosive weapon, and it should be less common or at least not so easy to obtain.

Za Warudo is pretty good and almost borderline cheap, given the ammo recharge rate and its ability: just increase the ammo recharge rate and it wouldn't be so cheap, and thus could be placed in easier spots. Delay Flame and Proto Charge aren't really bad weapon at all, as they have their uses, but Proto Charge is a straight upgrade from the Mega Buster...should that even count as a special weapon? Wind Slicer is just a modified Air Shooter, kinda good for long range and still as deadly at point blank...try thinking of a way to differentiate it a bit more from Air Shooter.

Tan outta tan.

See, this? This is excellent. This is how you do criticism. Pointing out all the flaws is an excellent way in helping us alleviate them, instead of just saying "this thing has too many flaws, it sucks". You people welcome to dislike the expansion all you want, but do please point out why.

Anyway, we've taken all your opinions into account, and are right now moving for a patch. It will contain mostly bug-fixes and balance tweaks, as well as some weapon rearrangement. Map layout is probably going to stay the same, the exception being heat man, which is receiving at the very least an aesthetical overhaul.

Anyway, these are the current balance tweaks we've implemented. This is subject to change, because we would like your input on them.

Ice Circle - Health buffed 75 > 125. Busters now deal double damage against the shield, so it's not too hard to break down if you're all out of weapons. (The suggested slower movement might work, we'll play around with it.)
Delay Flame - Pre-launch damage reduced 20 > 15 and doesn't hitstun. Post-launch damage remains at 20.
Spin Wheel - Damage reduced 25 > 15 pre-launch and 25 > 20 post-launch. (Subject to change, I hear split opinions about this weapon.)
Rumbling Bang - Explosion damage at point zero reduced 100* > 60. Radius increased 270 > 350. Moved into Area of Effect weapons. Still obtainable in LMS.

*I am not sure whoever thought this was a great idea, let alone how we failed to notice this was broken as all hell.

Keep the criticism coming. We'll take all of it, good or bad.

Spin Wheel launch damage to 15, I can live with that... but a nerf to 20 when it's rolling seems a bit hard.

Spin Wheel is silly and hard to aim, and the throwing arc makes even the likes of Screw Crusher weep with disappointment.

Other than that (and the fact that Rising Sun didn't get changed and is on 88% of RNC maps) I'm looking forward to the changes.

Rumbling Bang : 60 Damage, 350 Radius, 7 shots
Rain Flush : 50 Damage, 512 radius, 4 shots (about twice as much time between shots, way more startup)

Considering all this...
Yeah I actually think this will work out.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (About time)
Post by: Gamester522 on September 21, 2012, 12:26:15 AM
I enjoy this expansion.
But some of the stages in my opinion seem like they lack a bit.

Metalman- Too small for my taste, as well as the pit seems too big considering the stage size.
Flashman- Flashman's stage in the rom hack made it to where the lights would darken only showing some platforms but not all. I was looking forward to this gimmick, but I was a little disappointed to see it not being there.
Airman- The rom hack of the stage had the wind gimmick when ever you were in the open/outside. Adding this to the map could up the difficulty.
Heatman- This might sound nightmarish, but the rom hack had pass-through floors with spikes underneath, It would have been interesting to see this aspect implemented, but to a degree avoidable for the player.
Quickman- This one bothered me the most. It was pretty underwhelming to encounter such a small amount of quick beams; just one that split in two directions and it was very easily avoidable. I was expecting a lot more than just one. Either adding more beams or making them split multiple times to catch the player off-guard would stay true to how difficult the stage is in the rom hack. Plus it was pretty small, I think it could be bigger if more beams were added.
Woodman- This, unlike everyone else, didn't make my eyes hurt, I loved how bright it was.
Wily Stage 3- I love the idea behind this stage. I understand that it is difficult to make it possible to actually walk upside-down in Doom Builder, but it made me a little frustrated that I've died from the ceiling pit multiple times.
Final Boss- This boss was too easy. Knowing how easy it is to dodge his attacks, I thought he would one-hit you. Because he doesn't deal enough damage, it's too simple; in the rom hack, he does so much damage, it was ridiculous.

This is what I think of this expansion. RNC is a difficult game, and the fact that most of these stages don't follow the same difficulty criteria as the actual game, I didn't find this expansion that effective. Also, I think that there isn't a good wide of variety different weapons in some of the maps because I was getting bored using the same weapon over and over again. Not everyone is professional at MM8BDM, but these maps need to be more difficult AND do-able to reflect the game it is based off of for it's famous difficulty. I was expecting the maps in this expansion to be more difficult because RNC is a difficult game.

I, by no means hate this expansion, I like it alot. I just think that this expansion could be made better and I'm waiting and looking forward to this expansion to be mind-blowing in the sense that you could relive RNC in a first person perspective. I enjoy this expansion, and I know it can be better, and I'll enjoy it to the fullest when it does. This expansion will have my support.

Thank you to anybody reading this, if you did.  :cool:

Wind Slicer

I can't think of a way to separate Proto Charge from the PU / Classes charge shot without making it either useless or OP, and I also don't know how to make Za Warudo not suck, but other than that I've tried to diversify the remaining six weapons. The TF2 format's just to get the information in a clear format without typing out a paragraph or anything (and to make YD read it harder), and I'm honestly proposing these changes. Again, they're just ideas; I'm not saying they're the best, and I also don't want you shooting them down immediately. Weigh the pros and the cons, and test them in a server or something; if you don't like it, you can always not use it, plain and simple.

Most of these suggestions are... not too great, if I'm honest. Most of them seem too gimmicky. Though I liked the Spin Wheel ripping before hitting the ground, might go with that.

Rising Sun will probably be featured slightly less in most maps, and will also be tweaked to emphasize the slower, more powerful long range weapon. Currently it seems we have failed to distinguish it from Metal Blade.

Edit, because I missed this:

Wily Stage 1- The water outside of the fortress lacks the spikes compared to it's rom hack counter-part.
They are there, but they're on the perimeter of the map. If you jump high enough and go above the side walls, you'll see them. You can die on them too.

I didn't realize the expansion was released early in the week. I've been checking this thread almost every day but got side tracked from the MM8 expansion thread lol.

It's really late but I wanted to say a couple of things:
-Could you guys make it so when Ice Circle is in use, the weapon bar glows so I know the shield is still up instead of having to hold a direction until I move.......and die?

-The music quality is lower than I expected. I looked at the files with slumped and there's 2 versions of Wily Castle 3-4 in there. The one being used isn't looped properly and lower quality. I'm not too concerned here since I made my own replacements for it already. Although they're in stereo. I really love the music in RnC and wanted to address this issue. I'll play around with it more later and give my thoughts, or wait until the next patch. Thanks for finally releasing the expansion too!!  :)

Quote from: "I"
I would have written a review of this, but judging by the quality of it seeming like you don't even care about this expansion
From this expansion and many other inperfectionistical things in YD classes, it seemed really doubtful that YD would ever bother to fix any of these things. Though since I was thinking about writing the review and sending it to Myroc so that he could hopefully force some improvements, I might as well go ahead and say all the flaws that spoke out to me.

Maps:
-Almost every map is underwhelming. Heatman gets the biggest mention here. Aside from BubblemanNC (new updates from Rocpakv1a are good), Wily 2 and Wily 3 (campaign was especially good, though this map's novelty will soon wear off), there wasn't that much to them. A lot of them were small and not very exploitative, especially HeatmanNC which is downright bland and uninteresting. As said many times by others, they are duel maps, not deathmatch maps. This needs to be improved on.
Weapons: (This gets most of my frowny face, you read this!)
Many of the weapons are just lacking and really aren't what they should be.
-Proto Charge. Why the hell does that uncharged shot use the buster sound effect and not the hit sound effect like the charge shot? Those loud noises were one of the only reasons I ever occasionally used uncharged shots in RNC, and now you've reduced it to an underwhelming bullet. WHY? Also I noticed that the player translation colours are exactly the same as the mega buster. If this was simply down to doom palette limitations, then fine, but if you were just being lazy (which I do not doubt) then this really needs to be changed, as it just sucks this way.
-Rising Sun a decent RoF base weapon that is fast and is 24 damage ripper. If you're going to have something like this, then at least make it out of the way and not placed 3 times in half the maps. I saw'd plowed through half of ClashmanNC's map on the campaign using this. It's way easy to reach and if it's not going to have a damage nerf, it at least needs to be pushed out the way a bit.
-Wind Slicer Yeeeaahh, this really needs more of a spread and more randomness in it's spread. It feels like a shotgun with really good mid-long range accuracy.
-Delay Flame This one feels really spammy. Use it at close range and you'll be gaining really easy kills. This needs some sort of nerf, though I'm not entirely sure how.
-Rumbling Bang Gawd, I hate this weapon. Why? Because of how lazy you were with the sound. You simply slapped on the crash bomb sound, despite it being really out of sync with that sound. What's so hard about making separate hit sounds in time with the sprites for each explosion? You really don't seem to care at all about quality with something like this. Not only that, but it's op. Use one of those base weapons that you've collected? Nah, just grab Rumbling Bang right there in ClashNC's stage and win.
-Ice Circle This isn't clear on how to use it. Even when you do know how to use it, it doesn't seem as if you could make much use of it. This goes very badly with the fact that it's so out of reach and that you'll soon die and not have it when you could use it.
Campain:
-The frag limit for half the maps is really out of place. 10(15?) frag limit on AirmanNC, not giving much chance to play it and explore (not that there's much to explore) and then suddenly 20 on HeatmanNC, which as already said, is very bland and it really drags the level on a lot longer. This is similar for other maps too, though I can't remember which ones.
-Campaign boss
(click to show/hide)
Misc.:
-Any way of having an end level theme that doesn't get cut off?
-Some music needs cleaning up, such as that horrid loop on WoodNC.
-"Invalid Bot Name: Flashman No Constancy" so pro

There were good things, but these things really need to be addressed. Hopefully the updates will add to the half biscuit that v1a was.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (About time)
Post by: TheDoc on September 21, 2012, 06:17:44 PM
I'd say that my desire to play this expansion in the first place clouded my judgment in my previous post, so I'm going to do another take on the maps.
Airman: I was disappointed by the fact that there were 2 RNC weapons here and no air gimmicks (minus the one yoku block u stepped on to reach RCutter). It felt small.
Heatman: The map (as I'm sure you've heard) was bland; the fake floor was a great idea, but not implemented as much as i'd like to see, so more gimmickyness would be good. The map needs to be bigger with much more differintiation, differition.....variety there we go in terrain. It was all kinda flat and there was 1 RNC weapon...
Flashman: Like Musashi said, I liked the layout. In fact, I like the stage over all, but the bridge was the only implementation of the jumpmaze of blocks you have to go through in the actual game. I was expecting a weapon you had to go out of your way to get in this map by jumping on said blocks. Za Warudo
Clashman: I actually liked this map. What confused me is why so much of this map is inside when this map clearly takes place...well........outside. I'd have like to see maybe one more W-Tank
Quickman: Like I said before, the crystal deflecting the beams was really cool. Good stage, but I was expecting bigger...
Metalman: "These stages are kinda cool I gue-"WHAM METALMAN'S STAGE! This was a good, good stage. I only remember 2 RNC weapons, so I'd prefer one more RNC weapon. If there are more, then this stage is great. I saw the E-Tank (which took you long enough to add) and it reminded me of the E-Tank that was hard to get out with in the romhack's Metalman stage. Good job!
Woodman: Like I've said, you didn't have alot of color variety, but I couldnt see my Rising Sun shots and every thing was a big mess of white. The layout was just outright unappealing. The layout was small and repetitive, and not alot of weapon variety either (especially RNC weapons)
Bubbleman: I expected more spikes and hazards in Bubblemans stage than any other. I remember Bubbleman's stage being the bitchiest RNC stage out of all of the RMs stages in the romhack. Why this "watch-your-step" concept wasnt implemented at least a little bit here, I dont know. The current gimmick was nice, but it's not a very good standalone gimmick for just hindering people when they have 50 other ways to get to the same place. If there's a go-out-of-your-way-to-get-it item/weapon at the end of a corridor with that gimmick, thats good.
Wily 1: Can't say I didn't like it, but considering how small the underwater bit was, I was expecting a bigger factory part (although the Mecha Dragon was genius).
Wily 2: This stage is pretty good. I would've liked more items; the only one I could find was a W-Tank. Besides that, it looks good.
Wily 3: I liked the gravity gimmick (minus the, you know, standing on your head part), and the variety of weapons was good, too.
Wily 4: Stage was VERY small with Boom-Boom weapons galore. Plus there was ONE RNC weapon, and that was Za Warudo...why? There should be more RNC weapons here out of all of them. It's the last stage!
Final Boss: I loved the final boss besides its difficulty. Watching the boss door slowly open and walking into that vortex of stars raised the before-battle intensity a ton. The boss had a very stale pattern (and when it shot those weird lightning balls, they didn't do anything), but I understand you didn't have much to work with. After all, that's what the final boss did in the romhack.

Honestly, this expansion isn't a bad expansion, but has much more potential. I can't wait to see where this goes.

I know I said the maps should be more difficult, but I didn't mean impossible or borderline doable, I just meant that they should remind people of the game's difficulty that it's famous for; and I'll admit, I forgot we're playing in a first-person shooter multiplayer game.

What? It should do this already.

Edit: This is probably because Bot Apoc also uses edited variations of the buster upgrades. Try loading RNC after Bot Apoc. You're likely to get other compability issues, but hopefully keeping the hardbuster shouldn't remain one of them.

Bot apoc doesn't use any custom buster upgrades or anything.  My only thought is that the script gives BassUpgrade instead of the replaced one.  (you can replicate this by typing Give BassUpgrade) in the console.  For some reason Skulltag is stupid when it comes to replaces.

Another Bot Apoc/RNC problem (well, it's a glitch, but it's not a problem. In fact, quite the opposite). If I fire my "hardbuster", it usually gives me another batch of weapons. So let's say I have 5 weapons and I shoot (yes I just shoot it) my green buster. I then rescroll through my weaponry and am pleasantly surprised to find 5 new weapons, giving me a grand total of 10 weapons. I checked and rechecked to see if the buster was a coincidence, but it happened every time. I don't think it happens with the megabuster.

No, not really. I died a lot while fighting it. That health meter is a trap. >_>

The only stage that really gave me trouble was Metalman. I lost once there, but that's it. Everything else was smooth sailing, thanks to Delay Flame fooling bots and other maneuvers. I got lost in Quickman's stage, and those beams, man. Those beams. Good thing the bots were "stuck" on some places. On Woodman's stage, I didn't have a problem with all of the white or the weapons, and I also liked the music.

I think I had other comments, but I'll post them when I remember them, as that was on last week's Saturday.

Quote from: "Beed28"
Just came to report this;

This does not seem to work with Rockman No Constancy. :(

I don't know what happens, but it completely screws up the player, either going at light speed with the camera down all the way to the ground or just outright killing you instantly when you spawn.

Me, on other hand, couldn't use the two together unless the class megaman was forced in by my modification. And when I did... Nothing of what he mentioned above happened.

but, well, RnC-wise, I noticed it is very frequent for bots to idle even when you are in front of them after they spawn, and the Airman stage has one rather odd bug where the bot jumps over the safety rail (might be because I have drawn their attention when they jumped up the hallway?).

On the contrary, Wind Slicer is muy powerful at close range, Rising Sun is a 3-5 1HKO, Delay Flame is a spammy weapon where you overwhelm the enemies in a stream of fast flying flames, and don't even get me started on Rumbling Bang. What weapon "doesn't do crap"? If you're referring to tsuki's classes, your comment shouldn't be here.

I think he means that some weapons from this mod aren't much practical, like Za Warudo, Rumbling Bang. However my opinions on the weapons are:
Wind Slicer: Marine's Best Friend ("shotgun"). I can see people doing a lot of buckshot with this...
Za Warudo: Way more impractical than Time Stopper, in my opinion.
Rumbling Bang: Seems there are a load of gaps in its explosions, because I hardly killed any bot with that. Cool but not so practical
Spin Wheel: Excelent floor sweeper. I think this does better than Bubble Lead, Wind Storm, Water Wave and Search Snake.
Rising Sun: I still rely on Metal Blade... Sometimes, Rate of Fire > Damage & Projectile Speed
Delay Flame: Can't be aimed (sad) but can sweep a hallway easy. Or can be used for ambushes! Look, double bingo!
Ice Circle: Even if you can't move, you can become a brickwall. Not very practical but practical anyways.
Proto Charge: I... Don't really know what to think. I have mixed feelings about this, as I have with all chargeable weapons.

Wind Slicer... well, I wouldn't say powerful unless I had fast weapons on I'll check

Rising Sun like a sniper weapon, but compare it to metal blade... thats right, Doc. Think about it... by time
you fire 5 or so in a heated battle your dead.

Delay Flame IS spammy,no duh ever played the real hack?

Rumbling bang is fine in my opinion because im sure PEOPLE, not bots, know better then staying close to a person with R.Bang

People know better than to stay close to a person with Top Spin yet it still manages to rack up insane kill counts. Rumbling Bang can OHKO at point blank. That is too much. (I didn't even know it actually did that much damage before we released it; I never checked the numbers prior to release as I didn't make the weapon and I never really got fragged by it too much. Just goes to show how much we messed up in making this thing.)

I didn't say 5+, I said 3-5, and that's if the opponent has full health. And unlike its original counterpart, Rising Sun is not a spray weapon. A fast-moving and powerful projectile that also has a high RoF is OP, which is why they reduced its RoF drastically. Rising Sun requires aim like Proto Strike and Pharaoh Shot. By the time you fire 5, if used by an adept enough person, the enemy with be long dead.

Is Spin Wheel basically a faster Bubble Lead? I cleared the campaign already (it was fun!) and the only difference I saw between the two weapons was the speed. If I'm not missing anything, how about this? Make it stop on contact and chainsaw enemies, but not for a OHKO. Should take at least 3-4 direct hits to die from it. How's that sound?

I also found Rising Sun... well, undesirable to use compared to everything else. Especially Delay Flame. Delay Flame EVERYWHERE! No, really. I don't recall seeing a map without it. And the ones that do usually have like three of it from what I experienced.

I'm gonna have to go back and play the whole thing again to be sure. Was going to complain about Rumbling Bang OHKOing everything, but that's known. Actually, I don't complain... ekekekeke

Don't mean to be rude, Myroc, but you're wrong and here's why:
1. R.bang? OHKO? sorry but no. That one i know %100 that R.bang is not OHKO. 2HKO,most likely.
2. R.bang has something called "range", Top spin does not have this "range". A person with Top spin can be avoid easily by running away from him or shooting him. If the person gets hit, nuts to him. R.bang makes this harder and the victim should maybe, IDK... STOP CHASING HIM?

You are either using Rumbling Bang when opposing players are right at the edge of the blast or are extremely unlucky in it's utilization. (Or my more popular theory: You have no clue what on earth you are talking about.) Rumbling Bang's explosion deals 100 damage at point zero* and for a rather small but not insignificant distance past that, after which damage deteriorates. Even so, if one bang doesn't kill them directly, it's going to leave them severely wounded, most of the time with less than 25% health remaining, where upon pretty much anything could finish them off; Most likely this is ANOTHER rumbling bang fired a second later. If someone with R. Bang gets into range, you are pretty much dead unless you can kill them faster or have a VERY expedient means of escape, both of which are rare.

Consider this. Top Spin needs you to go up and hug the person to OHKO him. With Rumbling Bang, you just need to be near him. Not to mention that Top Spin has ammo for about three tries and is slightly unwieldy to use. Rumbling Bang is easier to land an OHKO with, has more ammo, and fires faster.

*Not to mention the projectile itself deals 25 damage if it hits someone, which is just overkill.

It's being been taken care of. Just stop hiding behind a flamethrower and ignoring facts. It only makes you look worse.

Rumbling Bang is a OHKO up close. I know because I abused it during the campaign. Seems you don't care much for that anymore though, so don't be surprised if people get angry at you for being like that.

About Rising Sun (and this is just me) it kinda urked me that the buster HUD was used instead of the hand HUD used in original Metal Blade, but I digress; that's not why I'm posting.

I don't think Rising Sun is a ripper, and I don't think it should be. I found Rising Sun to be a great weapon honestly. Maybe you could up the damage a bit to make each hit more rewarding (because it's not something you can just spray. you have to aim it)

Rising Sun In the RNC Rom Hack is fired out of Megaman's buster, rather than thrown. Same thing for Za Wardo.

Rising Sun is a 24 damage ripper. It was like Metal Blade in the original in that it would go through enemies if it finished them off. If it's a 3-5HKO as people say, it's probably only hitting them once or twice per shot.

We're planning a quick update for MM8BDMv3 in the coming days, fixing bugs and balancing a few weapons and most maps. After that, we should be able to focus on a v2. This'll include...

-Retouched maps such as Heat Man and Quick Man
-Updates to most weapons to make them more independent from their MM2 counterparts (taking ideas)
-An update to the campaign and boss
-FIXING THAT ONE GREEN TANK IN THE ABOVE SCREENSHOT
-Hopefully getting that one Musashi guy to improve the music
-Filler space????

Also -- there's an online server hosting this .. and the program keeps crashing on me over and over nonstop.. i cant play anything for 30 seconds without it crashing a million times... this only seems to  happen with no constancy and nothing else.

Things left for YD/Balrog/SSW/Any programmer to fix:
-Pickups on the ceiling completely refill that weapon's ammo when walking over it a second time.
This was prevented with giver weapons in v3a, so we should figure out how they did that.
-Fix the colors of the robots in the credits

Hell, I don't think so. I think the thing that needed help the most was the weapons, namely the Metal Blade replacement (let's not talk about Rumbling Bang's OHKOs, thank you). I wasn't any fond of RNCMET for some reason I can't remember, but that's about it. I guess RNCQUI needed a better layout, but BB already did a new one.

But really, I fail to see what's so mediocre about it.

Quote from: "8 or so pages back, TheDoc"
Airman: I was disappointed by the fact that there were 2 RNC weapons here and no air gimmicks (minus the one yoku block u stepped on to reach RCutter). It felt small.
Heatman: The map (as I'm sure you've heard) was bland; the fake floor was a great idea, but not implemented as much as i'd like to see, so more gimmickyness would be good. The map needs to be bigger with much more differintiation, differition.....variety there we go in terrain. It was all kinda flat and there was 1 RNC weapon...
Flashman: Like Musashi said, I liked the layout. In fact, I like the stage over all, but the bridge was the only implementation of the jumpmaze of blocks you have to go through in the actual game. I was expecting a weapon you had to go out of your way to get in this map by jumping on said blocks. Za Warudo
Clashman: I actually liked this map. What confused me is why so much of this map is inside when this map clearly takes place...well........outside. I'd have like to see maybe one more W-Tank
Quickman: Like I said before, the crystal deflecting the beams was really cool. Good stage, but I was expecting bigger...
Metalman: "These stages are kinda cool I gue-"WHAM METALMAN'S STAGE! This was a good, good stage. I only remember 2 RNC weapons, so I'd prefer one more RNC weapon. If there are more, then this stage is great. I saw the E-Tank (which took you long enough to add) and it reminded me of the E-Tank that was hard to get out with in the romhack's Metalman stage. Good job!
Woodman: Like I've said, you didn't have alot of color variety, but I couldnt see my Rising Sun shots and every thing was a big mess of white. The layout was just outright unappealing. The layout was small and repetitive, and not alot of weapon variety either (especially RNC weapons)
Bubbleman: I expected more spikes and hazards in Bubblemans stage than any other. I remember Bubbleman's stage being the bitchiest RNC stage out of all of the RMs stages in the romhack. Why this "watch-your-step" concept wasnt implemented at least a little bit here, I dont know. The current gimmick was nice, but it's not a very good standalone gimmick for just hindering people when they have 50 other ways to get to the same place. If there's a go-out-of-your-way-to-get-it item/weapon at the end of a corridor with that gimmick, thats good.
Wily 1: Can't say I didn't like it, but considering how small the underwater bit was, I was expecting a bigger factory part (although the Mecha Dragon was genius).
Wily 2: This stage is pretty good. I would've liked more items; the only one I could find was a W-Tank. Besides that, it looks good.
Wily 3: I liked the gravity gimmick (minus the, you know, standing on your head part), and the variety of weapons was good, too.
Wily 4: Stage was VERY small with Boom-Boom weapons galore. Plus there was ONE RNC weapon, and that was Za Warudo...why? There should be more RNC weapons here out of all of them. It's the last stage!
Final Boss: I loved the final boss besides its difficulty. Watching the boss door slowly open and walking into that vortex of stars raised the before-battle intensity a ton. The boss had a very stale pattern (and when it shot those weird lightning balls, they didn't do anything), but I understand you didn't have much to work with. After all, that's what the final boss did in the romhack.

Honestly, this expansion isn't a bad expansion, but has much more potential. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Bamping to say that you should disregard Balrog's post, because it's still borked. If anyone, and I mean ANYONE, is able to help us fix the campaign issue, I will gladly sell you YD and Glazty's soul.
RNCDW4 is the last stage in the campaign before the final boss stage.
The problem is, once you beat the map, it just takes you back to RNCAIR.
So, we need someone to include code that transfers the player to RNCFIN
This has to happen 1 frag before they reach the fraglimit of 21 (So, when they get 20 frags)
This is literally the ONLY thing holding RNC back (aside from a little more testing, of course)

Edit: This is all the code that's in the stage right now. Script 3 is what triggers the boss stage.

Post by: Gummywormz on April 25, 2013, 02:01:41 AM
Does script 3 activate or not? If it does and it sends you to RNCAIR, add a player 1 start to RNCFIN or change Teleport_NewMap to ChangeLevel (http://zdoom.org/wiki/ChangeLevel).
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (Robots don't have skin
Post by: Balrog on April 25, 2013, 06:27:53 PM
What you're missing is that ENTER scripts (and ACS scripts in general) execute once and only once by default; as a result, the script will check PlayerFrags() at the very beginning of the match and terminate since the fraglimit check will inevitably fail at that point. Put a restart; statement at the end of the script (after all the if blocks) to make it execute once every tic.

I did this and it worked just fine (triggering the fake "YOU WIN!" and Teleport_NewMap(667,0)-ing the player to RNCFIN) when I reached the appropriate frag count. May or may not work with ChangeLevel considering the deathmatch context, but it probably will.
Title: Re: [Expansion] Rockman No Constancy (Robots don't have skin
Post by: Mendez on April 25, 2013, 10:06:48 PM
In that case, can you replace the RNC that's in the dropbox folder with your version? I did what you said (adding a restart; statement to the end of script 3) and it still doesn't work.

Well folks, I've got quite the story to tell you. So, first thing's first:
RNC has been done for the past two and a half weeks.
You wanna know why it hasn't been released yet, though? Well blame it on apathy. YD's apathy prevented the project from progressing, and my apathy prevented me from telling you guys about it sooner. Regardless, massive kudos to Messatsu for taking the time to actually to fix loads of bugs inside RNC and finishing the project for us. I find his accomplishment even more amazing by the fact that he hasn't even placed his name in the credits. Such a humble bro, helping such apathetic people.

Yeah, Musashi went and did his own thing with most of the RNC songs when he was making them sound better, which is why they sound different to the originals. I don't really care about that, though. I'm just glad the edits I made to nearly every RNC map, from merely adding MM8 weapons to major changes (Quick NC was all Mendez though), weren't completely useless. I'm also glad that the expansion was finally made compatible with v3a...Even if it was 5 months overdue. Better late than never, I suppose.

This had nothing to do with RNC at all. It was only because Powered-Up's WCOLORS (the script that determines weapon palettes and weapon ammo) was the one that was loaded during the server. If we had PU's Oil Slider and Time Slow in the rotation, the W Tank would have filled those. When my server crashed, I thought it was gone for good, so I went ahead and put up another server that fixed this issue, then found out the other one was still up. After confirming my theory, I shut down the other one. RNC weps will now refill in my server.

In regards to music, there are no plans to change it. As for the issue in RNCDW1, I assume Beed should be the one to fix it, since he's the one who created the stage.

I'm working on it. The portal's fixed, but I still need to figure out how to fix the castle texture in software.

Also, at the underwater area, the east wall (on the automap) has been moved in slightly to fix the symmetry on the castle's exterior, if that's alright. Here's some screenshots to show you what I mean:

I apologise for double posting, but I've decided to quickly redo the music. It's been going great so far, I've been using Winamp to directly save .wav files of the songs in the Rockman No Constancy .nsf file, and then using Audacity to edit and convert them to .ogg, and somehow the resulting tracks are smaller than the current ones in the RNCMUSIC.wad file in the main .pk3 archive. I also have plans to delete the duplicate and unused songs in the RNCMUSIC.wad file as well.

And another bug report, the water in Bubble Man No Constancy doesn't splash.

Alright folks. Thanks to all your concerns and complaints, I'm here to present the REAL new version of RNC. The one that was released was meant to let the public do the testing for us because nobody seemed available to test it. Hence the -RC at the end of the file name that I'm sure nobody noticed. Apathy at it's finest.
NOW WITH 33% LESS BOTCHED COLOR TRANSLATIONS.

Change list goes as follows:
-Fixed color translations on rising sun, delay flame and spin wheel
-Fixed the offsets of all RNC weapons and items (someone left the offsets at (8,15) when they should have been (8,16))
-DIDN'T replace the music. Thanks for the effort Beed, but we feel fine with Musashi's work.
-Actually, scratch that last bit. I did replace RNCCRED with Beed's version to cut down on file size. Otherwise, the music is the same.
-Fixed up the names in the credits. I added Messatsu to the list of RNC programmers. Thank you Mess. We owe you one.
-Now with 50% more apathy

This is probably going to be the last update we're going to make for this project. YD doesn't seem to want to work on it, and I want to begin work on other projects with other groups. It was a hectic year or two, what with massive delays and apathy all about. Regardless, we thank everyone for reporting their issues and showing their support all the way through. If there are STILL any complaints, I guess you can report them to YD and see if he cares. There's a good chance that it won't be fixed unless it's a major bug, though. Again, apathy and all that jazz. Seeya later.

Thank you very much for the report, Beed. I managed to fix everything except Bubbleman No Constancy's water. Myroc uses 3d floors, whereas Wily 1 uses transfer heights. I assume Myroc didn't go with transfer heights because that would have been far too tedious. Besides, even if it loses the splash, it's far more convenient to have water as a 3d floor. I honestly don't want to waste 45 minutes just so the water can splash.
BUT HEY. WE'RE DONE NOW.

Change list goes as follows:
-Fixed horizontal ammo bars for Spin Wheel and Rising Sun (I forgot to make a texture for the horizontal ammo bars. Herp.)
-ALL offsets should be fixed now. I honestly don't know how I missed Wind Slicer and E-tank's second sprite. Thanks again Beed.

Or, ya could use SLADE.  The ZIP method only works for PK3s, not WADs.

Side question:  Would anyone actually play this if it were upgraded to v3b/v4a etc?  I'm talking online with servers etc.
I've seen this pack hosted with v3b and it seems to work fine, maps, skins, weapons and all. What's broken about it?

I would play it if it were updated, for the record. It's well made and fun to play on- don't see why people don't play it more often.

Not likely..... currently there are other projects being made like Rockman 4 Minus Infinity, Rokkochan, and other things

So there is going to be a Rockman 4 Minus Infinity expansion...

    You can't even regain ammo for the RNC weapons anymore.
    The weapon energy capsules don't change colour with you.
    RNC Bubble Man's water is completely broken, when I jump in and back out, I retain low gravity.
    Ontop of that, his poorly ripped music still hurts my ears. :(

Goes to show you how little effort is put into this expansion and how little it's tested.

Thanks for your feedback. The first step in testing is to make sure things load without error on the current core assets and engine!

The horizontal SBARINFO was likely a typo on my part (Ctrl+V'd the vertical stuff in the horizontal place).

Did weapon energy capsules ever change colour with the player in RNC? This may be due to a GLOBAL ACS incompatibility with the new core. I did not want to modify the existing RNC GLOBAL due to some colour stuff it was doing but will have another look.

RNC Bubble Man should be an easy fix. Will speak to the original mapper and adjust as needed.

These are trivial changes for the most part, but the music ripping I'm not sure of. Is there some particular aspect that hurts your ears? The whole piece? Certain frequency components? Happy to revisit aspects of this.

Most of music rips sounded off from the original versions, but the one that jumped out at me the most was Bubble Man's theme. Listen it in MM8BDM, then listen to how it sounded in the ROM hack:

I have a RNC music pack here (http://www.cutstuff.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2919) that sounds closer to the originals. I'm not sure if it's still uploaded, or if it was taken down. The volume of each song might need to be adjusted through SNDINFO like in MM8BDM-v4a, though.

Sorry to bump this like that, but some random idea I had, and I think would fit better here since it's the most famous MM expansion (and one of the few which managed to get done)
Was the idea of adding RM classes in an expansion ever brought? Taking a rooting code from CSCC, YD or JC Classes, since *most of the time* all the RM in rom hacks are simple recolorations, we could make RNC classes that behave "canonly to the RNC rom hack".
Graphics can be done easily by recolorating the Classes graphics. I'm saying this about RNC Classes, but it applies to every single Megaman rom hack expansion.
And also, who knows, maybe could this give more interest in playing expansions?
(I mean who wouldn't play as RNC Crash Man *-*)

If I'm not mistaken, there was a plan about that: make somekind of YD expansion including RNC classes.... but I don't know what happened.

YD classes still has a folder in it called RNC Classes if you poke around in Slade, but I think the idea never really got off the ground.

Dobson, you could simply extract the textures from the wad using Slumped. I guess you could use Slade 3 instead, if it was user friendly.

None of the people who made this expansion made the textures, so you technically don't have to ask for permission.

Hello, given how inactive the recent modders of this entire mod has been i decided to fix this heavly given how lacking and broken the last update got.
So I wanted make the version number push foward up to v3a making sure that it's fully working with the recent stuff including making it mod compatible.

V3A

No downloads links for the main expansion yet tho. This whole thing was mainly to fix the mappack and im not sure if i can handle fixing the expansion to work on recent versions of MM8BDM.

Post by: Trillster on March 20, 2023, 03:21:26 AM
With Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch V6B having released, it gave the good opportunity to update the weapon side of this pack so that it can be preserved, now compatible with other expansion's weapon packs, and playable for the future.

When loading the newly updated weapon pack, the weapons can now appear when using randomized weapons, when playing with LMS loadouts, and even in the Training Mode! Additionally, you can load these weapons alongside the RNC map pack without randomized pickups for the true weapon and item layouts, including all the RNC styled pickups.

The main post has been updated to highlight this version of the weapons alongside the map pack recently updated by FTX, rather than the old full expansion links which were broken, and unlikely to be updated for the future (unless some other modder wishes to step in).

Another bump for another set of updates for this expansion. This time the map pack and the skin pack have been updated to V6B standards. For the skin pack, although every RNC robot master has different mugshots than their MM2 counterpart, it was not worth including duplicate skins in the skin pack, so still only the outwardly distinct ones (Heatman-NC, Flashman-NC, Bubbleman-NC, and Crashman-NC) are included.
