the very concept just sounds like the product of a lazy, whimsical, apathetic mind with no regard for culinary art

As someone who puts effort into every meal I make, I never saw it that way and I technically agree. I say technically because it's still good. ;_;

Cheesecake + Rocky Road ice cream over it any day, though.

It was fun working on this too, Nemz. I just wanted to point out you're a really great teacher.

I know I said I was gonna stay out of this discussion, but...

In my eyes, it is not the development team's job to entertain you. It is the development team's job to make MM8BDM great, and to make you want to play it.

Well, in my eyes, you're not gonna make me want to play 8BDM if it's not entertaining. That's not really as great as you think it is, and if the expansion keeps going in that direction, it'll just be wasted time and effort.

I've done things in 3d floors before such as eliminating wave bikes if a player lands on them, but I had no idea this kind of effect was possible. Still, I wish air push effects in non-solid 3d floors were possible...

Oh, it might be a good idea to have those bars outside the water as well so players know when it's safe to jump in.

I agree with Justin - those textures look kickass and the layout seems pretty interesting. You said before that the water would shock players, but how exactly does that work?

Well, "this shit that doesn't matter" is obviously your point of view. It matters to some, and yet here you are, caring all over the place. How ironic.

because i couldn't be bothered to separate the ideas

Then don't bother replying, either. At this point, you're just talking out of your ass.

seriously though if you're calling my poor post a shitpost while things like these memey abominations exist then i'm pretty sure you're a bit confused on the shitpost term

Those... are forum games. I'm pretty sure that's a lenient enough place to post such a thing. Yeah, they're silly threads, but you don't have to like them. You want another example of shitposting that isn't your own?

is the community dead yet

Here you fucking go.

Nobody should ever be looking for quality of any kind in this forum, because there is none.

"Hey guys, this place is shit, so let's make it even more shit!" Yeah... no. This is a case in point of what I was talking about earlier. Of course though, you couldn't be bothered to read that properly, so here we fucking are.

Keep at it if you'd like. I'm done, though.

Yeah, this is the kind of shitposting that gives this site so much quality. Did you even bother to analyze my post? I think you're smart enough to figure out I meant most of the player base and not the game itself.

So damn true. At this point, I honestly don't give two shits about new core expansions because it's the same thing over and over. New maps, weapons and dev bullshit, all of which we have enough of already. That's not to mention that the only way to make stuff for an expansion is if you're in the circle of friends that's managing it, regardless of how long you've been part of the community or how much you've done your part to keep the game alive. And the actual issue is not just devs, it's the "community" as a whole. And I use quotation marks, because I can't really call this a community. You've got shitters left and right spiting you at every fucking chance they get, good reason or not. It's fucking ridiculous considering we're supposedly here because we want to enjoy something we all have in common, not throw shit at each other over it. But you know what? I gave up on this "community" a long time ago. It was doing my health no favors trying to be someone people wanted me to be. So why am I still here? Because cutstuff.net isn't a community - it's a site. But there's nothing special here to write about in terms of user behavior, so I just stick to making more content because I still enjoy it, and there are people who like it too.

That's the worst of it, imo. This is about the first and last time I give a flying fuck about this matter on the forums, because quite frankly, it's a waste of time.

Neither of these were my input but I'm okay with either since I couldn't find anything good or witty.

I have separate folders for Zandronum and MM8BDM. Still, I figured my problem was loading the files in a certain order but none of the above worked, either.

« on: March 19, 2016, 06:32:07 PM »

Hey, I'm back! And I'm bringing a rather huge update! Over the past month, I've been mainly focused in making changes to the existing maps, while slowly but steadily creating new ones. Let's look into this screenshot dump where I'll explain things in more detail.

KNDM04

(click to show/hide)

Just a new little detail here. I didn't even realize those broken windows existed in the core game until now.



As you can see, the area around Scorch Wheel's stump and the W-Tank is now flooded with mud that'll slow players down. That new bridge over said area is something I wanted to do ever since the map was created, and it finally exists!


Not only are there a lot less trees in the forest to the west of the map, but most of them also phase in and out of existence... though only in appearance. The space they are in will always remain solid.


Players can now look into the forest and the Super Arm platform from the grates lined up along the river bank. This should make it easier to locate opponents camping in those woods.


Not only are there only four trees in this area now, but getting Rain Flush is much easier now. It's still not risk-free, though... watch out for pitfalls.


The crusher is fully automatic now. I'll miss that switch, but it broke too much so it had to go.


This south-eastern cave in the map is a lot more organized now, with more space due to how getting to the W-Tank is. Although not pictured, the teleporter in the waterfall pit nearby has a teleporter ceiling texture and its floor was raised so that it isn't hidden anymore.

A couple more things to note about this map are that the gravity bug was finally fixed for good, and that the radius of the trees in the middle area was reduced by 32 units, which makes said area a lot less cluttered. Good stuff.

KNDM05

(click to show/hide)

This area with Knight Crush had it's floors raised, with the ladders being turned into one-jump staircases. The one near me is a run-through staircase, though.


This platform's width was shrunk, giving way to more ground to fight in.

Although I haven't gotten to it yet, this map will possibly receive an aesthetic update involving Wily Wars textures, mostly to alleviate the inevitable overuse of gray outside due to what the map is.

KNDM06

(click to show/hide)

I wasn't going to show this yet as it is still in an early WIP stage, but I wanted to confirm that the Airman themed map is going for good... thankfully. I personally don't think the old map's layout is bad, but it sure is an eyesore.


I still aim for this map to retain some elements of the old map, such as the weapon set and the symmetry, not to mention some returning concepts such as Fanfiends guarding Exit Unit.

KNDM07

(click to show/hide)

Oops, there's no screenshots here, but I wanted to announce that the sandstorm gimmick will become aesthetic if playing in Duel and LMS modes, with platforms raising in places where the sandstorm would help get items or reach teleporters. This is great because the actual sandstorm is only intrusive in those modes, but I still wanted to keep it in the rest of them so that the map is played as intended.

KNDM08

(click to show/hide)

The fountain was remade to be a more convenient structure, with the room it's in shrunk down a tad.


The elevations in the north-eastern area have been reduced, which has greatly improved flow there.



The old area due north-west was way too big, open and flat which made it pretty boring. Therefore, it got updated.


This middle structure used to be pretty inconveniently placed and elevated, and as such it was changed.




The southern area received quite a few changes, as you can see! Jumping around and getting to other areas is no longer a pain. I apologize for making players jump so much to get one Rush Coil. :X

In case you haven't noticed, underwater textures have been applied to areas with deep water in them. Pretty.

KNDM10

(click to show/hide)

Two of the platforms here became hanging 3d floors, which created more space to fight below.


Running steps now make it a lot easier to traverse this middle area.


Having an entrance next to another one is silly, so it became barred. If you look beyond Thunder Bolt, there's another barred window as well.

Some of the slippery, icy floors have been re-drawn too. Just some I felt looked ugly or too much in the way.

KNDM14

(click to show/hide)

Players exiting from that right lane will never bump into this conveyor belt leading to Treble ever again. In retrospect, that should've been done from the start...

Also made a new floor texture from scratch, just to not spam the small 32x32 squares all the time.

KNDM15

(click to show/hide)

Most of the useless pillars in this and other areas of the map have been removed. Feels a lot less cluttered now, which this small area needed.


Speaking of getting rid of clutter, I always wanted this map to have a port-like area, and it happened! The Wave Burner that was in that floor was moved here, as you can see. There's also that fish-tank to the left with clams. A clam-tank. Heh.

Thanks to Fefnir, who reported a bug in which people get stuck below the chains of the vacuum teleporter destination, this issue has been fixed. Granted, this only happened in Unholy, but I like making my maps as compatible with everything as possible.

KNDM17

(click to show/hide)

Mmm, color compass in the middle.


The structure containing Star Crash looked dumb as shit, so it was changed. Also, those stairs to the left are more convenient now.



There's a lot going on here. Rush Coil now has it's own space by the fence, Crash Bomb is now on the platform and the elevations below said platform are now 32 high instead of 64. Crossing into the middle from here is now as easy as running normally, and there's a booster wall for players entering in snowboards from the middle or the north-east route.


A bunch of useless pillars gone, the space near snowboards altered for better flow, and the Astro Crush platform's height got raised by about 32 units. Honestly though, to heck with excess pillars.


Remember those cumbersome stairs in the orange area? They're a lot less painful now.


And finally, the south-eastern corner was revamped.

KNDM18

(click to show/hide)

As Blizzard Attack was removed from the map, I felt the need to have a small corner area and move the eastern Needle Cannon and Ice Wave to new locations. There was also only one Rush Coil in the map, so here's another.

One of my main goals for KNDM-v2a is to completely redo the health and ammo layouts. This has already been done for a few of my maps, such as KNDM08. I've noticed that having those pickups right against corners only is a really bad idea.

So what about KNDM01? It's going to be replaced, mainly due to the same issue as KNDM06 - it's an eyesore. However, the layout is also pretty confusing as since it's completely symmetrical, it's very easy to get lost and lose track of other players. As for what it's getting replaced with, I'm keeping that under wraps along with many other things to come. I can say, however, that I aim to retain the explosive weapon layout while at the same time introducing new concepts. Of course though, that also means it will be a new layout, which will hopefully turn out to be pretty interesting if its gimmicks are used correctly.

That's it for this update! See y'all later.

If you mean the flashing light tiles to the left of the sheet, I see those. They're the ones that resemble Spark Man tiles.
