[OUTDATED THREAD] Class based modification (v9fh)

[MusashiAA]

Yes, the RNC classes will be in a separate file, and can be played alongside the MM2 classes.

And to be honest, RNC classes don't have a "clear superiority" over the MM2 classes just because they're from Rockman no Constancy. They play at their own pace: some might be better (Metancy>Metal), some might not (theoretically, Flash>Flancy). This was the first design decission: we could've turn them into super forms of the current MM2 classes OR, as we did, make them separate classes that don't outclass the MM2 classes.

I think that making them separate classes is a good idea. There is more variety to choose from and people won't get an OP Metal Man again after he was nerfed.

That may be so, but the bosses as they are in RNC are generally just harder forms of how they are in MM2.  Crancy Clancy has a larger explosion radius than Crash.  Aicy's tornadoes travel faster than Air's.  Flancy's bullets are way stronger than Flash's.  Since (IIRC) the mission statement of Classes Mod is to make it play as if you are that boss, I was worried that the RNC bosses might just come out to be superior versions of the MM2 bosses.
But I'll reserve any further statements until it comes out and I see how Bubbcy measures up to Bubble they play alongside one another.

Just a little something I thought up I wanted to share.

Just a quick thought--instead of putting one big picture with all the Robot mugshots on it to show which room you're in, maybe separate them up and place one above each teleporter to show which class it displays.

This might help with the more "elusive" mugshots, such as for the Mega Man Killers.

That was actually the idea I had, but I'm working very limited until I get a new laptop, what I made was just to show off the concept of the idea. Or I would have fleshed out the details better (such as that skybox not working, or the fact the room actually isn't even long enough to be the total range of Cutman's rolling cutting).

Also a few missing from that picture, IE would like other 3 Dark Men, Wily, I don't remember if there is a Joe class, and later potential characters such as Auto (cause he is so widely desired). But all in all that picture will likely be seeing some use.

Double post but it has been a few hours. But some progress (in my book).

(click to show/hide)

New hub, inspired by Chaos-Hub. And icons will be over teleporters.
The main room will house classes such as Copy Weps and others that don't belong elsewhere.
Outer rooms, though entrances are small (not a DM map so they can be big enough for one person), will cover games. Such as top left will be MMI/PU and so forth.
Characters "to come" will have "?" icons over them.
And yes, it is called "CBMTST: Class Based Modification Class Test Map"

[-Daiki-TheOni]

CBMTST.....
¿will that have a separate wad/pk3?

This is the Class Based Modification mod, so CBM, and it is a class test map, so TST.
I'm not part of the class team, I'm just doing this cause I want to. When I've done all I can I will send it to the people who actually run this, and they can do with it as they please.
Completely redo, scrap it and use something else, whatever they want. Such as ideas of turning it into a campaign. I can't script stuff like that so I'm just making test rooms is all.

As for an update on what I'm doing, the hub for now is done. Even went beyond and added "icons" for Characters who are clearly "to come" (Duo and MM8) though they will be blocked off.  Also I need a Wily 28/28 Mugshot.

Now for screenies.

The words are telling you the direction of the games teleporters. MM2/3/6/7 are up the halls and to the side.  Bosses is reserved for characters who won't have a normal amount of space and are generally stronger (in game) such as Wily, King, Terra and Sunstar (who are the intended patrons of that room) and POSSIBLY Ra Thor if he is to be added. The ? marks by the Killers are intended for Genesis Unit (Buster Rod, Mega Water, Hyper Storm) if they get added. The one next to Quint is intended for Fake Man, if he gets added.  M&B may get placed in the main room before MM9/10 (which isn't actually added yet, just there for show) in a similar fashion to Copyweps.

IF and ONLY IF plans to add them come underway, MMV, DOS+3, R&F2, Strategy rooms will branch off of the halls up to 2/3, 6/7 and 9/10

On the Wily Mugshot, why not use the one used in RM7FC?

[Gumballtoid]

Thus far it looks fine, but... The quality on those screenshots makes me gag.

(click to show/hide)

I had these laying around for a while so go ahead and use 'em if you like.

The Wily icon was an edit from MM6's ending because it looks nice.

[Hallan Parva]

Dang those look nice.



Uh, but it sort of needs the &Bass Robot Masters on it.

[SaviorSword]

Who's that character on Duo's left?

[-FiniteZero-]

Terra, who was in Mega Man V fer Gameboy.

I'll try those ones, thanks. The reason the quailty isn't good is because whoever made this picture

(click to show/hide)

originally saved it as a jpeg and not a png. Thus we got stuck with jpeg quailty. And the ones used in 8bitdm are much larger scaled, or I'd have used that Doc robot. I'll try with the ones Gumball posted.

Also it doesn't need M&B ones yet, we don't even have 8 in classes.

[GameAndWatcher]

I don't really like the Wily Mug that Gumball posted. Why not use the mugshot from RM7FC?

Jeez.

Anyway, is there a possibility for MMV classes at any point?
