W.I.P Forum / Re: Original DOS Completion Project

« on: August 10, 2016, 07:58:54 PM »

Weapons are looking neat. I'm interested in seeing for myself how Shark Boomerang works.

I am a tiny bit confused about one thing though. Sonic Wave splits into two when it hits a wall, but how does it split when hitting a floor or ceiling? Does it bounce back off the floor at a similar angle to the one it hit it from? That sounds like it could get pretty crazy.

Sonic Wave will ALWAYS split on the horizontal axis, the only time it will go vertical is the original shot. If it hits a floor or ceiling the 2 shots will split off towards the direction they came from horizontally meaning it will stay near which ever it hit (so try not to hit the ceiling unless it is a really low one like the Magnet Missile hole in Metal or something). Hitting a single enemy isn't as easy with it but sending it into a crowd will certainly get some hits in and potentially nab a kill of someone weakened. You though do wanna try to hit with the main shot as much as possible since the damage drops off in halves and the main shot is 20 damage (5hko) meaning the first split is 10, the second bounce is 5, and the third is only a measly 2. This of course is subject to change, if it turns out the bounces are simply TOO weak they could be swapped to dropping 5 damage each so 20>15>10>5.

Thanks to Lego I was able to actually get the weapons to work correctly along side the MM9 weapons, as well as fix the colors on the skins for Nuclear Detonator and Oil Stream.
All of these weapon wise are now completely implemented into the file with the exception of making Sonic Wave's smallest projectiles visible, though looking at it I do wanna make Sonic Wave look better too.

(click to show/hide)

I'm also gonna give a little run down of each weapon once again, some extra visuals as well as some Mega Man style descriptions akin to Mega Man 7.
Sonic Wave

(click to show/hide)

I wanted to do this for all of them, but it seemed like it wouldn't be worth it for this. Oh well.
"Sonic Wave fires a large pulse of sound forward, when it hits a wall it will split into two smaller shots that bounce around, these smaller shots will get weaker each time they bounce off a wall until they finally disappear."
Direct hits are the most rewarding but the smaller shots can help chip away health, the base shot will deal a strong 20 damage, but is very small, each time it bounces it's damage will cut in half until it deals a measly 2 damage. It will also split when it hits a floor or ceiling. Sonic Wave's shots always bounce on a horizontal axis only, making it helpful against enemies on different elevations.

(click to show/hide)

Force Field

(click to show/hide)

"Force Field is an all in one utility shield weapon, it increases your speed, your defenses, and even deals damage, but don't relay on it too much, it isn't as powerful as other weapons in those fields. Combine it with something else to get the most use out of it."
Force Field's main purpose is to help you close gaps between enemies and yourself by giving you a small boost of speed and defense and then dealing out a small hit, swap to another weapon once you are close to really bring the pain. Ammo depletes while the shield is active and when it goes down, either manually or when it damages someone.

(click to show/hide)

Nuclear Detonator

(click to show/hide)

"The Nuclear Detonator fires a dynamite pack ahead that has a long timer and can be manually detonated, it's power is unrivaled, but be careful, this weapon is so powerful even you are in danger of it!"
Nuclear Detonator is a powerful explosive that can be detonated early and deals massive amounts of damage that will cripple most anyone if they survive it, even it's own user. It also stores only enough ammo for 2 uses before it is empty.

(click to show/hide)

Bit Cannon

(click to show/hide)

"Bit Cannon has a lot of power and a large radius, which makes it trickier to avoid, but easier to hit terrain from, at closer ranges enemies will have a harder time avoiding this powerful weapon."
Bit Cannon is like Hard Knuckles ripping brother, it deals low damage at a time but it is a slow ripper allowing it to 2 shot foes, but it is slow and doesn't sport a lot of ammo.

(click to show/hide)

Shark Boomerang

(click to show/hide)

"The Shark Boomerang is a tricky weapon to hit with, but equally tricky to avoid. When you throw it the boomerang will fire at an angle before looping back around, but during it's arc it will suddenly go flying back where it came from."
Shark Boomerang flies like an actual boomerang, but it will suddenly return early in it's flight. Unlike other boomerangs it returns to the spot it was fired from, but it will also keep flying until it hits a wall.

(click to show/hide)

This is moments before it begins it's return flight.

Water Shooter

(click to show/hide)

"The Water Shooter fires three water balls in rapid succession that arc at different angles, while each shot doesn't deal too much damage they can help hit enemies on lower services or be aimed up to gain more distance."
This weapon acts like a combination of Needle Cannon and Water Balloon, firing three shots per use that arc downwards. Unlike Needle Cannon the shots don't have a spread, but instead each move at a slightly different speed traveling further then the prior one.

(click to show/hide)

Oil Stream

(click to show/hide)

"Oil Stream fires a projectile that deals a lot of damage, but it is incredibly slow. If it comes into contact with fire though it will ignite and become super fast and even more powerful!"
Oil Stream is one of the slower projectiles in the game, making up for it with decent ammo and a whooping 25 damage. But it really shines around fire weapons, which if one comes into contact with Oil Stream it will gain a lot of speed and double it's damage.

(click to show/hide)

Blade Launcher

(click to show/hide)

"Blade Launcher fires three ninja stars forward which will spread out as they travel, while up close it will deal more damage due to all three shots hitting, but further away will make it harder to dodge, the other two shots even travel upwards slightly."
Blade Launcher it much like a shotgun, up close all the shots hit, while further away it has a spread, the extra two shots travel up slightly making it easier to hit jump strafers.

(click to show/hide)

Torch Arm

(click to show/hide)

"The Torch Arm fires straight ahead, but when it hits an enemy or floor it bursts into a rolling flame for a short distance to deal more damage and possibly hit more enemies."
Straight forward attack that doesn't rip but turns into a short range ripper when it hits. Plenty of ammo and a good rate of fire makes it a good replacement for the Mega Buster, especially if Metal Blade or Ice Slasher aren't around.

(click to show/hide)

After it hits an enemy or floor it becomes this.

Resources / Re: FGG's resource stuff (Weapon Get + Pick ups)

« on: August 07, 2016, 10:52:18 PM »

Next update of my stuff time.
Complete list of characters weapon gets for Mega Man, Proto Man, and Bass using Mega Man 10's screens. Both using MM10's coloring system for all three, and using their official coloring systems of the 32bit games.
These ones feature weapons from official media (1-10, &B, V, SAR), which includes licensed material (DOS, &B2, Archie, Strategy) and simply things backed by Capcom's name (SFxMM) with a bonus appearance of Magnetic Shockwave from Marvel vs Capcom 1.
Note these images are very large, expect to have to zoom in to read actually read all the names. Also Proto Man had no room to fit the weapon names so he has abbreviations, they are in the same spots as the other two's though. Also colors for support characters not used by the character are not featured for them.
To view the whole images use right click and view image, since they don't stretch the forum at the moment.

Is there any reason why you can't make the skin file yourself? Do you not know how to use SlumpEd?

Seeing as he only has 24 posts I assume no, he probably doesn't even know what it is.
But seriously this is like, the easiest kind of request there is, the spriting is already done.

Hello i would like to request a skin based off this old sprite sheet:



Link in case image doesn't work: http://orig07.deviantart.net/b0c7/f/2014/304/6/3/roy_sprites_by_roytheboy1213-d84r6be.png

Here is your skin, do note since there is a lack of blue and cyan on the basic frames people might not want to download it, which might not be a problem for you, but just know people won't see you in it online if that is the case.

Beed had one long ago that only showed weapons, I used it all the time to show item placement on my maps I was making. They were centered properly on that, maybe ask how he did that if it can help fix that.

Fixing images is as easy as hitting the edit icon on your post and then saving, they will show back up.
Not sure about youtube links.
As for old spoilers it seems to have added some coding after "spoiler" so simply remove those and the spoiler will show back up as intended. If you edit without removing these they will show up in text. Anything that was inside your spoiler won't show up until you edit though.
Also SPOILERS INSIDE SPOILERS! We can compact our posts a lot more now which I've already gone and done on key pages (first and last) of all my threads.

*"Sonic Boom" Launches 2 sound waves at 30 degree angles, bounces off walls, time based. Quicker but weaker gemini laser.

Were my weapon concepts looked at?

They were considered, but we ultimately decided that we didn't want to use them for various reasons.

You say that Jax, but Sonic Wave from the original DOS did the same thing already, so this is kinda similar to the original.
Only since it seems similar I'm asking, do the shots weaken and does it still bounce horizontally? All in all it looks great, happy to know at least 1 concept stayed for the most part.

How do i make animated tiles, like a conveyer belt (for solar man's stage, i want to contribute to v6)?

Hope this helps, obviously set it up to fit your map codes, change the tics and test what works best, the highlighted section on the bottom is the texture names for reference of where I'm fetching them from. If you need more help then this I'll go into better detail.

I noticed a lot of things with the color pukes. There are the color pukes of the MM10 and MMV games. Was it intentional to leave them in-game? Also, I and a friend discovered a weird color puke (218 to 221): it is a light grey and white puke that has a charge animation. Assuming that it can't be from RMF2 because it's not an official game and that there were all of the MMV color pukes before, may I suppose that this will be the Mega Arm's color puke?
I'll leave these screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/6PROM
First is Strike Man's weapon.
Second is Chill Man's.
Third is what I assume to be Saturn or Uranus's weapon (weird color when I think about it.)
Fourth is Terra's weapon.
The last 4 does concern the Mega Arm (or what I suppose to be the Mega Arm).

These are likely placeholders tbh. I'm not entirely sure.
