[Expansion] Rockman No Constancy - Now Updated for v6b!

[Max]

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.

The classic RNC weapons, now compatible with Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch V6B! They can appear when using randomized weapons, when playing with LMS loadouts, and even in the Training Mode! Additionally, you can use these weapons alongside the RNC map pack without randomized pickups for the true weapon and item layouts, including all the RNC styled pickups.

Weapons initially completed by Maxine, then maintained by others for future versions.
 
Wind Slicer
An arcing, slow firing but powerful weapon with a random spread. If you can land all your shots this is rewarding, but each shot leaves you open.
 
Za Warudo
A shorter, rapid burst of Time-Stopping, designed as an escape.
 
Rumbling Bang
Drops a small explosive that creates a wave of low powered, fast traveling shockwaves in a star formation.
 
Spin Wheel
A weapon that arcs upwards, and shoots forward at high speed when it touches the ground.
 
Rising Sun
A faster traveling, slower firing take on Metal Blade.
 
Delay Flame
As the name implies, a weapon that fires forwards quickly after a short delay.
 
Ice Circle
A shield that makes you slip and pinball around while holding it up. Use it to confuse your foes!
 
Proto Charge
A MM5-styled Mega Buster! Weaker than Atomic Fire, but faster charging!

wow.....im looking forward to this.....wish u luck..

[BiscuitSlash]

YYEEEESSSSSS!!!!

I would of took up delay flame but....you've made that....

I might try making the Bubbleman skin.

[Jc494]

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.

[NitroBro]

FINALLY maybe i may do a map... but it would be for either heat or flash because the mmz 8 bit music

Edit: flash it is

[chuggaafan1]

Correct me if i'm wrong, but is rising sun a reference to Secret of Mana?

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

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 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.

[Max]

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

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

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?

[Korby]

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.

[Max]

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.

[Korby]

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.

[CHAOS_FANTAZY]

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.


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.  

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.

[Shade Guy]

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...

[Korby]

You could make him float around instead of waddle.
