Title: [Single Player] ACHIEVEMENT CHALLENGE!
Post by: SickSadWorld on January 02, 2011, 04:15:07 PM

In light of recent competitive behaviour I have decided to cook up a bit of a challenge for all of you!

http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/ssw_challenge01.zip (http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/ssw_challenge01.zip)

Download, unzip and load the wad through the "Add File" dialog box. Then just start a Single Player game. It replaces MAP01

Mirror Challenge

It's just you versus Joe. Busters and Item-1. The idea is akin to something like Final Destination. Oh yeah, there's quick beams and an Eddie too.

What was with the quickman lasers 0_o. Anyway, I did your "Challenge" and got 5 kills, no deaths before falling into the dreaded laser.

Awesome! I should keep a tally for this specific challenge in the OP (there will be more)

I can explain the motivation a little bit. This challenge evolved from a practice suite for roboenza. The idea in its simplest form is to be able to hold down +fire and still deploy the item-1 effectively. The Eddie was added for variety (and also because of the possibility of a mirror buster for quicklaser fun). There is no weapon energy pickups because it prevents spamming a single lucky weapon. (Eddie can give you a W-tank also)

The quickman lasers are there to force you to pay attention to the environment. In theory you can see your opponent from all sides (mirrors) and always see which way the laser will shoot (the floor). In practice though it is difficult to keep these separate and only the best players have cultivated this skill enough to demonstrate competence in this challenge.

There are 6 different laser possibilities. The laser only shoots in one direction at a time and it is chosen randomly. The arrows on the floor will always give you an indication on which direction the lasers will be shot in, but will not tell you which possibility will fire; only the direction.

The design requires a successful use of item-1 (possibly both as a snare and shield) as well as superb mega buster aiming and impeccable attention to the environment (dodging). These are requirements to succeed at the gold level for this challenge.


I intend on making more challenges like this, but in the future I will make this a game mode that gives you the awards in-game and sets the rules a bit more rigidly using ACS somehow.

For actual multi-player match-ups this is best suited to duel mode. Although this is just a teaser for future offerings that will be available; with a single player focus but multi player compatible. Some may involve speed and maneuvering through a treacherous course in certain criterion amounts of time corresponding to an achievement level, for example.

Stay tuned!

Those beams were more deadly then the Joe... :shock:
I found that getting 5 frags using the weapon given from Eddie to be really easy so I stuck with the buster and found that to be more challenging.

It is time for another challenge!



DESTROY THE METOOLS!

http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/METCHAL.zip (http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/METCHAL.zip)

(click to show/hide)

Download, unzip the wad, load it in the launcher, press ~ and type "map metchal" to play!

(click to show/hide)

(http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/4756/screenshotdoom201101120.png)

This one is a single player challenge. Only the proest of the pro out there will be able to achieve the Platinum award for this one (without cheating). In this challenge, the awards are coded in so the map will tell you what award you have received.

There are no player deathmatch starts so multiplayer is not possible. This is designed to be a single player challenge.

There is an Eddie power-up right where you start. Depending on what you get, this challenge can be relatively easy or hard. Good luck!

See if you can find the yashichi, this one is pretty easy.

TIP: You're on thin ice! If you let yourself get attacked by the Metools, their shots can alter your movement on the precarious surface and can snowball into your defeat! Dodge is an essential skill if you wish to do well in this challenge.

In response to some feedback, this is very possible to beat if you are lucky enough on the Eddie power-up. Also Eddie respawns, and there is the possibility of an E-Tank. The average player is expected to perform at the Bronze/ Silver level. The Metools have one of 5 randomly selected personalities. Some of these are more aggressive than others. Thus, the difficulty both for the Metool personalities and the power-up(s) you get are somewhat dependent on luck.

The luckiest players will initially get a Bass Buster, Gravity Hold, Flash Stopper (not to be confused with Time Stopper), or an E-Tank. The Metools supply plenty of weapon energy. There are a limited number of Metools (even if it doesn't seem like it) and they will stop spawning once the limit has been reached (read: you kill enough of them  :mrgreen: )


The gameplay design of this is intended to be like when Megaman was a hit on the NES. Since RAM limitations at the time made something like save-states impossible, the idea is that it is supposed to be difficult to keep you playing; the assumption being that once you beat it, you'll put it down and not come back for a while. I hope you have as much fun playing this as I had making it!

By the way, the achievements in game are being given on how many are spawned, and not killed.

Nope. I specifically tested this.

(click to show/hide)

Turn on degreelessness mode and wait until a ton spawn. Then let yourself get killed. You'll get a bronze because you've killed 0. Internally it is calculated

killedmets = maxnumber - (numberofmets + remainingmets);

numberofmets decrements each time one is spawned and starts at the maxnumber. remainingmets is a count of how many are alive. There's a line in the map ACS that prints how many you've killed if you are curious. Uncomment line 123

//Print(d:killedmets);

...and I just tested it again by letting a bunch spawn

This is based on the spawn frequency of the metools. It uses the global total in calculating the award so if you die and it decrements the global total when you are right on a threshold then it can possibly credit you with more than you actually killed.

This behavior is OK with me because even if you didn't actually kill 75 for the Silver level, you are still credited with this. I feel like this adds a good incentive to your run, because I'm sure if I was watching I'd be impressed.

Exactly 150 should be silver, but the game must have given you the benefit of the doubt; you must have earned that gold in a very good run!  :mrgreen:

Cheating is totally legitimate.

Because turning on God before it starts, and off to take damage, then on again after for a screenshot, isn't cheating. It's just a way of succeeding.

SINGLE PLAYER CUTMAN

http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/sswfx-9_1.zip (http://wadhost.fathax.com/files/sswfx-9_1.zip)

Code: [Select]

Load in the launcher as usual,
Press "~" and type "map sswfx" once MM8BDM has loaded.


(click to show/hide)

This single player experience is currently just experiments with ideas involving AI. Progress through the level and defeat Cutman to gain his power! (Not really, lol). There are elements of platforming and weak monster opponents. This is the first challenge where it is impossible to get all the awards on a single playthrough.

(http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/3276/screenshotdoom201101281.png)

(http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/3276/screenshotdoom201101281.png)


TIPS
Enemies in this mode have keen senses. They don't allow themselves to be attacked easily while they are focused on combat. Try to shoot the enemies immediately before and after they try and shoot you or your shots may not be effective. When fighting Cutman this technique is especially valuable, as his mastery of kung-fu has allowed him to maintain a high level of focus in combat. Cutman will also get more aggressive as you punish his life bar! This Cutman is *not* a bot; it is an attempt to make his behavior somewhat analogous to the game in which he appeared.

Comments

(click to show/hide)

Comments: This is just another collection of ideas that will form a larger whole at some unspecified point in the future. These include, the new enemies with their firing patterns, bolts, and the lives engine. This will not work in multiplayer as-is because I still need to think about multiplayer specific considerations in the code. I would prefer if people not use any of this code for the lives, bolts, or enemy behavior (AI) without direct consent and more importantly negotiations on specific attribution credits in any derivative works.

Gameplay Tips

KNOWN ISSUES

(click to show/hide)

When you win and get the "Success" message, it says "YOU LOSE" in the intermission. That's obviously not true, lol. I haven't figured out what it is that determines if you win or lose for the intermission screen but it's probably a skulltag thing of some sort. I'll figure it out eventually.

If you win and it repeats the stage you wont have the Megabuster. That's because this is a stub and the behavior is intended to be added on the next map in the sequence (which isn't included in this challenge). Optional Gold award is beating the challenge a second time WITHOUT starting with the Megabuster. Optional Platinum is beating this 3 times in a row. These are not officially supported awards but you are amazing if you can do it.

Thanks for your support SmashBroPlusB

The Ashley project and any other project like the Powered Up thing or whatever are distinct and NOT MY PROJECTS. Especially Ashley's project. I am helping with questions on some things but in those specific modes INVASION and ADVENTURE are NOT MY WORK, I am not developing them, and frankly I disagree with many aesthetic notions of gameplay balance, level design, and so on. I had made some preliminary AI for those modes but Ashley's decisions shape what you see today for better or for worse. It is her project and her mode.

Let it be known that my projects and ideas remain distinctly mine and I have my own ideas about AI and gameplay balance. Eventually I will be releasing my own complete expansion of MM8BDM with Single and Multi support. Rest assured this result will not be similar to anyone else's work.

In fact I may take a break from posting any more of these "challenges" (read: development snapshots) because I'm seeing too many of my ideas end up in other people's mods. I'm fine with my ideas ending up in other people's mods but I'm having some issues with lack of appropriate credit for work that I mostly made showing up in other people's mods. It may be a while before there are publically more challenges.

I have something in the works that may remind you of Ice's mod but you will recognize it as being distinct once it is released.

SSW, if you manage to pull off a platformer-esque campaign version with the bolts and lives system... I WILL BE BLOWN TO BITS.

Consider yourself popular, you just got a permanent fan.
And you should totally make CutManMike the shop keeper, lol

That's ok. This project isn't dead; rather it is a work in progress. As such, it's in the right forum now.

It makes me really happy to see people still finding and playing these challenges.

Congratulations, Searinox! I've added you to the leaderboard for that challenge.

Time for another challenge! This time it's the classic Skulltag/ Doom themed SHOOT! adapted for MM8BDM but with a twist...

Eddie for duel mode - mapper's pack

What's different about Eddie?

(click to show/hide)

Eddie now appears in Duel mode and his behavior is changed somewhat. Instead of dropping weapons, he can drop from 1 to 4 of these items when summoned:
WTank
WeaponEnergy
BigWeaponEnergy
SmallHealth
BigHealth


In other modes (like Deathmatch) he drops from 1 to 4 of a different set of items which includes
ETank
MTank
WTank
WeaponEnergy
BigWeaponEnergy
SmallHealth
BigHealth
Item1
TangoSummon
TrebleSentry
RushCoil
RushJet
ExitUnit

This piece can be run on top of any other PWAD or by itself to only affect Eddie in any game mode with any custom mod.

HOW TO RUN

Code: [Select]

* Unzip the file
* Load the .pk3 in the launcher
* Set up an Offline Skirmish choosing Shoot! in Duel mode

I *really* like this version of Eddie and greatly prefer it to the one used in game. I would recommend a CTF/Possession rotation as well - take the DM one and simply remove Rush Jet and Exit Unit.

Some people were complaining about only getting energy/weapon energy; if you wanted to remove that you could just make it so that in DM energy/wep energy only spawn as 2nd/3rd/4th items so that they'll never appear as the single item (only as a secondary one), even if it's not as true to the original. With this though, I was able to end the appearance of nonsensical weapons in CTF - so long Leaf Shield, Mirror Buster, Centaur Flash, etc.!

Do you mean for completing the challenges?

If so, then yes. You can choose buckshot or use your buster only with items.

If you mean to change the map to buster only but keep the Eddies then I'll have to think about it. In the classic SHOOT you get a super shotgun. Blizzard Attack to me seems like the closest approximation of this. What I may do is make more themed SHOOT maps with different weapon sets instead. This challenge stands as it is though.
