Title: Race Mode in next MM8BDM Release
Post by: KeryoWolfe on November 10, 2010, 12:22:41 AM
Well, let's see... Mr.X has Sunset Canyon, some dude called Travis made one, I'm making one... so that leaves the question... should MM8BDM have a full-fledged multiplayer race mode?

_IF_ we make a race mode, it needs to be more like Mario Kart. Items should be picked up, not started with. If you crash or die, you respawn in that spot (which is a server variable but they'd need to spawn with the rider, something that must be implemented) Also, we'd need to increase the speed of most weapons and decrease their attack (probably best to make a whole new weaponset, but I think it's also possible to set a variable which decreases damage), since it's pretty easy to die.

Amen to that.  It's fun, but I only started playing this game like the very day Roboenza came out and it's been all Roboenza all the time since then.  At least shuffle back and forth between that and tlms or something every few days or something.

But yeah, race mode sounds sweet.

I couldn't agree more.  Speaking of which, I think Roboenza itself should be a game mode.  That way I wouldn't need to constantly put on and take off the WAD each time. I would like Race mode to be done the same way.  Maybe even have some courses with laps.

No No No... I think Cutty should spend more time focusing on the core updates, instead of supplementary material that us fans can easily do.

Just me, but if there is to be an racing mode, i think it should be tied more towards "MegaMan Battle & Chase", but have some mario kart elements; because that game is an existing capcom game related to megaman, and I beleave the game should be 'megaman' as much as possible, but not limited to it. I agree to decreacing weapon damage, picking up certaint items, and increasing projectile speed. Im just worried that (if not delt with) people like me will abuse jumping & using the foward key to move faster. mabe actual killable enemys on the course can reward certaint powers.

for the people that do not know what "MegaMan battle & chase" is, i highly suggest you find videos of the ps1 game on youtube. wish i could play it for myself...*grumble grumble*

Despite making the first course, I don't think it should be a full fledged mode.  Enhancements to deathmatch, fixing issues, and adding MM7-10 should be the priority.

I agree, Also it would be AWESOME if more people donated or contributed so this game could be flipping awesome(Well it already is so lets make it better)

I think this really needs to be said.
you people are to being lazy and demanding
I don't mean that in a harsh way, but honestly. You get an idea, and you hope, just hope, CutmanMike will do the work for you. If it's not related to the main game and it's primary expansions, then why should he do so? It just slows down development of the overall game.

With that being said, if you really, really want to see something done, do it yourself. It's not like Cutty HOPED someone else would make a 2.5D Megaman game in 8bit graphics. He went out and did it himself. If you want something done, do it yourself. Some may say they lack the technical know-how. But quite honestly, the Doom engine is one of the easiest games to mod for, ever. If you really sit down and work at it, it's very, very easy to pick up on.

This race mode should not be in the next update, because I don't think it's something Cutty should do unless he really wants to.
It's screaming something the community could do if a team who really wants to see this a reality stepped forward.

inb4 tl;dr and being ignored upright

Also, I think I may never make a race course again ever.  Why?  Because you called me a crony.

I say no...whoever thought of this idea and taking X's concept should delete this thread IMMEDIATELY

Also X,i don't think you should quit making them in my opinion,i liked Sunset Canyon,it's a awesome map...i really want to see the city stage

But in all seriousness...DONT TAKE SOMEONES IDEA AND IMMIEDEIATLEY ASK FOR A NEW MODE BASED OFF OF IT,THAT'S SOMETHING I FROWN AT

Dude...I was kidding.  Relax.  If people want to make racing courses, fine.  I'll just be the one making the good ones. /ego

I think a full-fledged 'race mode' would be overkill.

I'm gonna have to agree with ivory on this one guys . BTW if we made mega man 8-bit death match into a racing game would it really be a death match anymore. Not saying its a bad idea im just saying its a strech and sounds really hard to make.so i dont think cutty(or his full name as i like to say) should do it unless he want to.

Oh, by the way, while I was mostly kidding, if you wanted something to get made, why the Hell did you call the people you want to do it "cronies?"  That would be like if you were carrying something heavy, saw somebody coming and shouted "Hey, jackass, are you going to help me or not?"

Well yeah, of course, I really highly agree with this.  I thought this was just a "should I make this mod so cutty can just slap it in a future update" poll.

Should Cutman Mike and his cronies make a fully functioning Race Mode for MM8BDM?

Clearly, he's asking for more than that.

Hahahah, I was wondering what you guys were talking about where they mentioned asking Mike and/or calling you cronies, but now I finally see it.  I never look at poll titles, I assume they're just gonna be like "Poll:" or something.

And Ivory, fyi, I read that post.  It's very small, in my opinion, I hate how people overdo "tl;dr" these days, especially when you have guys like me making such huge posts (like half the posts I've made here) -- not that I expect people to totally read those, it's just a habit of mine to talk/type a lot, lol...

Race mode would be awesome... But like Ivory said, go and do it yourself if you think it would be awesome.

Personally i like what we have and i like if more comes out.
All i have is idea's but i lack the time to do something about it.

and besides, imagin frostman racing.
although we could have the cars work like weapons, everyone will have different cars at random, like in lastman standing. and you can have stuff like the rush roadster with just a megabuster, quickman's sonic formula just shoots forward when you fire but takes a while to recharge, or the Skull Machine XX having a sheild on the back. and ofcorse make MMB&C minor cars or characters like 4 Roader (no weapons at all, just a normal racer thats slightly faster), Truck Joe(if I'm not mistaken, he droped crashbomb like weapons on the track), Yellow Devil (he just had the ability to shove others off the track)

...frostman on a 4 roader...wow

Well that WAS the main idea behind it, and I WAS gonna go ahead and do it myself, but then I realized I have no discernable scripting knowledge, because everything I learn in college is outdated (fucking cheapass Nicaraguan college, go fig XC) so I thought that If I brought it up... maybe someone will do it or at least tell me how to go about it.

You might of thought of it in a humorous way but some people might not share your sense of humor.  you might want to pick your words a little more carefully next time, we wouldn't want to step on toes would we...  :|
