Title: Joseph's Modifications (Updated 11/16/10)
Post by: Joseph Collins on October 16, 2010, 06:55:16 PM

So...I've made some stuff for the game since I've gotten a hold of it and have chosen to share it with you folks.  I'm not sure how useful my stuff would be for most people, since I mostly made it for myself, but here we go!

Please don't ask how to use these files.  The answers are already on the forum.  Plus, it's really easy with the new launcher!

I am indeed rather intelligent, if only I could get the message across somehow.

YD's chat files were rather obvious!
I was not expecting the rare roaming one though.

quick question, why in the Met Skin pk3 but a folder that says sprites and then put the sprites inside...

two things:
1)Learn to sentence structure.
2)Because that's how you make skins work.

Met Skin v1.5 (http://www.mediafire.com/?dp6txd6qnru1vy7)

The old Met skin has been removed and this new Met skin has been uploaded in its place.  The only major change is that it has a secondary coloration on its shoes, now. (The previous skin only had blue, not blue and cyan.)

Does it fix D_TT so it plays Tiny Tim again?

Title: Re: Joseph's Modifications (Updated 10/31/10)
Post by: Joseph Collins on November 01, 2010, 10:45:44 PM

Nope, because I couldn't remember the ZDoom Lump coding to switch around music file names. (I think I had such lumps in a WAD at some point, but then I learned that the various source ports can read OGGs so just renamed the music appropriately.)  I'm not entirely sure that would work besides, considering Starman's easter egg now calls "D_TTFTW" instead of "DUCKSPA".

On that note, try "changemus DUCKSPA" some time with the PWAD in place.  :3

Apparently, I do maps now.  Get equipped with JCDM01 - Simply Wily (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e65kgr24bihtny)!

Edit: v1.2 of the map.  Custom decorate object removed.  I found out it was preventing players from joining any server not running this map. (In other words, all servers.)

Guys?  I made a mistake.  A really big mistake.

As it turns out, if you add any kind of custom item to your WAD (or PK3, ZIP, etc.) via DECORATE lump (or similar), this automatically invalidates your base game WAD authentication.  In short, my WAD was preventing people from playing online.  This has been fixed.  And might I add, I'm a little disappointed...  I liked my little secondary Easter Egg... (For those who never saw it, it was just a simple Mega Man 1-up icon which, like the Yashiichi, does nothing but look neat.)

New download URL: http://www.mediafire.com/?6e65kgr24bihtny (http://www.mediafire.com/?6e65kgr24bihtny)

The one thing I didn't test...  Well, at least I know better now.  No custom items in PWADs.

Post by: Mr. X on November 04, 2010, 11:19:42 PM

Yeah, Yellow Devil's game refused to load when I had a custom lump file in Sunset Canyon.  Luckily, it was an object I never put in the course so I could simply delete it.

No new downloads, but I do have a new WiP I'd like to showcase...

CTF - Air Man II Work-in-Progress

(click to show/hide)

Quote

Yes, that's Airman's Game Boy tune. Yes, I dropped the pitch about 100%. Any further music-related questions will likely be ignored.
Also, THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. Things may change from this design.

I know it doesn't look like very much work, but this is actually several hours in. Yes, it took me a few hours to do this little. YOU try making a level for a first-person shooter some time.
In any case, I'm working on this level for Mega Man 8-Bit Deathmatch. It's going to be an isometric (identical) Capture the Flag level, at some point in the future here. All that really needs to be added is a few extra platforms and decorations, as well as items, player starts, and the flags. I'm pretty proud of the level, myself... Particularly the skybox tricks I pulled that make the platforms look like they're free-floating. (Though it somewhat loses that illusion if you have a big Goblin Maker behind a see-through column... And while a fair bit of the geometry came from Airman's stages in the Famicom and Game Boy games (which means it should be familiar to fans of nostalgia), I did a bit here and a bit there, and of course, I made the level transition to 3D. Hopefully, other people will like it despite its steep learning curve.

On a side-note, CutmanMike made Airman's cloud textures scale incorrectly.  I had to change it from 0.1 scale to 0.5 to get it to display properly without making a 5,000-unit skybox.  >_o  Now I know why he uses Gyro Man's clouds in the Deathmatch stage.  *adds that in a trivia section on the wiki*

I'm surprised you pulled that off. Air Man textures look like vomit from far distances. But this actually looks decent. Good Job.

This one has to be loaded manually and can't be loaded from the "skins" directory.  That's all for now.

That Air Man stage looks like it could be a single player level instead of a CTF map.  But you said that's a work in progress.

Really nice fixes on Eddie.

Say Joseph, heres a question. Have you gotten around to fixing the Metool skin up for Roboenza yet? All of the frames' outlines turn out black as a zombie, except on the side frames, where only a few portions of it's body are red.
