MM8BDM v3a Released!

[Beed28]

Elecman's stage has clones of myself when I play offline skirmish with no bots. I die if I kill one. (BRB WRITING CREEPYPASTA)

Ho ho ho, I never expected to hear about "vodoo dolls" in 8BDM.
I guess you're trying to play in coop/survival or testing the map with doom builder.

Fixed the link for you.

Not sure if this has been brought up before (it probably has ) but now that you save the game by level, is there a possibility to save the secret weapons you get? For instance, if I beat Ballade, then get to Plantman's stage and decide to quit, it'd be nice to be able to come back and still have his weapon (especially for the Chapter 6 final boss).

Not gonna happen sorry. The more external variables we have to juggle, the worse things are going to get. One is enough (the one that keeps track of how far you are in singleplayer).

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

I'm only at Chapter Two now, but things look pretty good so far!

I have to say, I'm not a fan of the wind storm buff.
The damage is just way too much.

You know what? I just realised something. That "JUMP JUMP!" voice clip may actually be in 8-bit; as a DPCM sample. I was wondering why the voice was in such a low quality, but then I remembered the title screen for Action 52, which has a low quality voice clip saying "Make your selection, now!".

[Messatsu]

Also like GOSTBERSTERS! Yea, it's a DPCM sample.

[Mr. X]

I was suspicious when I first heard it, but I was handed the famitracker file for proof.

Kalinka's victory sprite and music; Great addition.  Greatest Addition?  Gotta find that music code

This comment confuses me.  :?

The victory screen for the Team Cossack is nice.  Music code is COSSVIC.

I have crashed a LOT recently while trying to Duel other people, even on stages I do not normally crash on (like MM3DW1). I have no idea if it was the server I was at, but it has made Duel impossible for me to play.

[Mr. Sean Nelson]

Likewise.

Duel just can't catch a damn break.

Quick question: I moved my MM8BDM files from my old computer to my new ones, but now the new weapon colors (atomic fire, drill bomb, etc.) aren't there. It's all the colors from v2. What I need to know is what file(s) control the weapon colors so that I can take it out of the zip file and re-extract it into my main folder (the problem was that I had some v2 files mixed with my v3 files right now so I need to replace the weapon color file w/ the v3 file)

[Knux]

Oil Barrels that respawn can kill a player/bot if they're standing there. Is this intended?

[SmashTheEchidna]

Probably. You'd get stuck and have to blast your way out, almost surely causing your death anyway.

[Hallan Parva]

You know how the count bombs show a "ghost image" for a second or two before they fully respawn?

Why not do something like that for Oil Man's oil canisters?

[Orange juice :l]

The new wind storm is way too powerful. It's got high rate of fire, very high damage at medium to long range, a massive hitbox, and the ability to effortlessly chain together hits. If any of these factors were reduced, it'd be fine, but together, they make the weapon incredibly strong.

End of Game Spoilers (yes, I did beat it, at last):

(click to show/hide)

I loved the battle against the Evil Robot. It took a lot of tries to figure out how to dodge the attacks, with Tornado Hold being my biggest challenge until I figured out how to dodge it. If anyone needs help with the boss, I figured out how to dodge all of its attacks...most of the time. As for near the end...he did the Astro Crush + Flame Sword combo twice, which can be a bit tricky to dodge since you have no idea where the last few asteroids are placed, but otherwise when I finally beat it, I had about half of my health left. The one that is still a bit tricky for me to dodge is Water Balloon, though it is mostly dealing with what remains of them after he finishes firing. I still vote the MM7 boss as the hardest, as sometimes he can teleport RIGHT above you, and his fire spheres take away almost a third of your energy if one hits you. As for the ending...I cannot wait for version 4, since I already know what game will be next.

With Single Player beaten, now I'll reappear online. Btw, might I mention I had a ton of crashes during Single Player, too? Sometimes they occur before a stage is completely loaded, and since the game does not save at that point...that was annoying to repeat stages, especially Aqua Man's.
