Gizmo's (basement) Workshop of stuff [Sorta maybe kinda working on something]

I've been meaning to make this thread for a while. At the very moment, I don't have much to give you guys (unless you want what's in the quote below) but I've been working on stuff that I would like to share. Like most of my works, this is just me having fun with my ideas, and seeing where my curiosity leads me.

Flame Stream


This was the first weapon I designed out of the 8 MegaGizmo weapons. Flame Stream is obtained from Pyro Man; it fires a single projectile that, when just above the ground, leaves a fire trail behind.

MegaGizmo Weapons

I went ahead and made two of the other weapons and put them in a pack. Now, alongside Flame Stream, there's Freeze Blower and Power Missile. These both will eventually be added into my class below as Gizmo's weapon drops.

For reference, here's a(n albeit outdated) sheet of the weapons I plan to make.

There are a couple weapons I'm thinking of replacing. Those being Rapid Ring and Light Arrow.

Here's some screenshots.

CLASSES

With both CSCC and Teaparty seeing no further updates anytime soon, my two classes have basically been sitting in purgatory or something. (They've been updated but what's the use if they don't get released?) So I've decided to take matters into my own hands, rip the classes from the packs, and make my own mod. I've been juggling the idea back and forth for a couple months now, since I have many ideas that haven't gotten used yet, but first I want to make certain that the two I have now can live again.
That and I planned to share them with my friends whenever we play together without all the excess baggage.

Now for what I need help with; I've basically taken the latest version of CSCC to use as a base for merging my updates to Gizmo, since my standalone PK3 was broken. Now that I've confirmed that Gizmo works just fine, I've been trying to remove everything unrelated from the file.

So far, the only real problem I've encountered is this:

Every time a player enters the game, a message saying "ACS: I don't know what copybotmain is." will show up. As far as I know, it's nothing gamebreaking, but clearly I did something wrong and I'm not sure what.

Uki gave me a tip on the problem with Gizmo, although I had already made a temporary solution and focused on updating stuff. In that current version, you can use the two new weapons: The Stone Cannon and the Hydro Cannon. What I've added afterwards is a new HUD for the R.F. Missile Launcher, a slightly faster spin attack on the Claw Gloves (which, by the way, has been nerfed), and...

Still a huge W.I.P.

--------------------------

Smash has also had a few problems. Thanks to Ice and Light, his special moves are all direction oriented now. And they work without much of a problem. However, all his items are still currently unavailable; the Ultra Smasher Claws being the only exception as Light gave them to him to start with. This isn't much of a problem at the moment, as once I get Smash and Gizmo in the same file, I can start working on both of their items.
There's also his walljumping ability, which never worked.

Still, Smash is playable now, so yay.

Any help is very much appreciated!

All of the above is severely outdated. I haven't tried the weapons out but the classes won't even open in this version of Zandronum or 8bdm. Since I'm sort of retired from Decorate, I would normally just label this as closed indefinitely.
But I don't really want to let my old projects die completely, so I've decided to try and put all my stuff into one big pack. This includes my classes (Smash, Gizmo, and others that never saw the light of day) and my weapons.



I don't have any real official name for it, so for now I will just dub it

Smash and Co.


Because I'm only going to be working on this as a side project to my other non-8bdm related creations, I don't think this is worth bumping the thread for. At least not until I have something else to show other than a bland teaser.

isn't that weapon essentially just speed burner without the charge

it's neat that someone made it though, and it was probably good practice

[SmashTheEchidna]

Speed Burner? This is my first time hearing of it, actually. :T

Well, glad you like it. Also I'm aware of the fact that you can't refill ammo; I kinda forgot how to deal with that.

[Russel]

WEPACS, you just add all your weapons and ammo types to the arrays and compile it.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Thank you, Lego. Through that I was able to get proper colors, (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, FREAKING FINALLY. Dunno whether it was WEPACS being easier to understand or Slade being more competent than SLumpED.) and I even added the weapon to the LMS Rotation.

Feel free to redownload now.

[SmashTheEchidna]

So I went ahead and made a couple more weapons to go alongside Flame Stream. I didn't see Flame Stream show up in the LMS Rotation though when I tested earlier, so you'll probably still have to use the console to get em.

So, Ice is looking at Smash again, and hopefully the issue with his directional inputs (and even more hopefully, his wall-kicks (or lack thereof)) will be resolved.

In the meantime, I'm trying to plan out what to do first when I get back to him. I've been looking to replace a few of his special moves; those being Ground Pound (Standard Aerial), Spin Punch (Sideways Aerial) and Bone Crusher (Sideways Ground). I'm a little bit low on ideas on what to replace them with, (I'm pretty sure I knew beforehand, but it's been so long and I don't think I jotted any notes down.) So, I'm up for suggestions. What kind of melee attacks do you think would be good for Smash?


Some people wanted me to bring back Dragon Swarm, so I might try that again.


EDIT: Okay it looks like I DID jot these notes down. In his To-Do list, even.

(click to show/hide)

==Standard Special==

Ground Pound: Change it to Quick Blow, which is a fast, yet weak three hit combo to keep the enemy in place. You should be able to follow up with any other aerial special, but not be able to spam the same move.

==Side Special==

Replace Spin Fist with Crushing Eagle: Smash Lunges forward with a crushing, stunning knee attack, and blows the enemy away with a fierce punch. (With the Ultra Smasher Claws equipped, it becomes Crushing Phoenix, and the punch is fire based with longer range.) Will only follow up with the second attack if the first hits successfully.

Bone Crusher: Change it to a charging weapon. Uncharged is an attack that sends you jumping a few inches to slam the enemy toward the ground. First and only charge is Bone Crusher. With the Ultra Smasher Claws enabled, last charge is Endless Smash. A stamina meter appears as you attack endlessly; when it runs out or when you attack, you deal the finishing blow.

Even so, I'm still up for suggestions, as some of these I feel iffy about.

[SmashTheEchidna]

Smash is (mostly) fixed now, so I updated the download link for him. Ice is still working on fixing some of the issues, but the main problem has been dealt with. Once he gets the wallkicks working, I can take it from here.

Once again, your help is greatly appreciated, Ice!
