Mega Man 8-bit Deathmatch => Help & Editing => Topic started by: CutmanMike on October 09, 2010, 12:45:14 AM

People started making maps in the SGC demo, which is awesome. However, they were simply adding the maps to the main mm8bdm pk3 file which is wrong.
If you wish to make your own maps, do not edit the main PK3 file of MM8BDM. Why? Because if you do, it will cause conflicts between you and whoever does not have the exact same pk3 file as you, causing you or the other player to disconnect. I'm sure you're aware of this.
In the next few days I'll explain how to correcty make patches, maps etc for MM8BDM and all other doom mods for that matter. You never edit the source material, which makes distribution much easier ;)
Stay tuned for tutorials explaining how to do this soon.
-
Yeah, I was going to post pull the download links to my stages because I need a better way to fix the main game.
-
About time this got posted, Got tired of having to mess with the files because people didn't want to host multiple wads.
-
so where do I put my maps to access them ingame?
Should I create a maps folder or something like that? o.o
-
For now, you should create them as .wad files and put them in the same folder as mm8bdm.
-
I did that...but with the MAP TEST01 command I couldnt test my map as the console told me it doesnt exist :(
-
You need to tell skulltag to include the wad. The only way to do it via the launcher at the minute is through the connect screen. Connect to localhost but put "-file wadfilename.wad" in the extra command line params field and launch. You'll fail to connect but from the console you should be able to warp to that map.
-
Cant get it to work...
Is this behaviour normal:
I try to start my map and it tells me "unknown texture SKY01" ...but I dont even use this texture anywhere...my room is rly small and I would know if I used such a texture.
-
What about bots?
-
People still doing it. I just spotted a server with mmctf04 as a map, without any PWADS
You need to make an announcement on how to host with PWADS
-
So that was you who came in. Apparently, you didn't read my readmes or my topic or anything before accusing me of destroying the game. I DID NOT EDIT THE PK3. I DID NOT TOUCH THE PK3. I put the files in the skins folder, and Mike is well aware of this.
-
Sorry! But thats still not the way your supposed to do it. So either way, it was wrong.
-
Mike said it was okay for now until the new launcher is released. The way he told me to do it did not work.
-
i made a sprite :p (http://)
-
Great. This is not the place to post that.
Create a thread for showcasing any of your work.
-
mike ? I need help on Hyper Storm H. I got it on 8-bit style :|
-
well I ahve a page of megaman char's (in 8-bit) well some arnt done :?
-
why dont you pm him? or someone else who could help you this topic was inactive for 6 months
-
First, post that in a different thread, or make a new one, as this is not the place to discuss that.
Second, he's saying that he found sprite sheets of megaman characters, but they're "not done."
I'm assuming he means they don't have rotations, in which case I'm going to say that you have to make them yourself, Overwarelord.
-
What about bots?
I use the LAUNCHER to load them.

That post you quoted was from 2 years ago. "Sun Oct 10, 2010 4:31 pm"
Pay attention to the date of the last post in topics.

Well, it's also a sticky, but yes, that is a very silly thing to do, RedMettaur.

Ugh, blame my stoopid brain... .3.
-
Naw, it's just a mistake. Just try not to do it again, kay?
-
Just a quick question - Would editing the music files for the game cause me to be unable to connect? By that, I mean changing, for example, CTFMUS08 from the Wily Field theme from Mega Man Soccer to, say, the Wily Stages theme from Mega Man 4?
-
Yes. Keep the file external and in the skins folder. Never, ever, edit the mm8bdm pk3 yourself.
-
wait, lets say i edit a sprite, except it still has the original file name, would it also mess up everything?
-
You could still play online, so no, but it is not recommended to do this.
-
I see.
So.I do got some questions and like to talk about something that is being latly in my mind.
since I made some project ideas to start personaly for myself,and a few friends..
Plus Im trying to learn abit on making games,and least start modding games abit.
