      might glitch their weapon inventory. Enabling sv_unblockallies prevents
      this issue, but it's the mappers' job to have sufficient spawn spots

TEAMWORK CLASSES
or SHR++ V3 Classes
or overly complexi..ca..Ted classes

Download links
(LATEST : beta 1 - early 2016)   
Main file : Download
Resources : Download
(you need both. You need to FIRST add the resources, THEN the main file)

This is a small mod (eh), a class mod, a mix between Saxton Hale and classes mods like YD/JC. Not meant to give another view on the robot masters, it's actually simply, the classes that were designed for SHR++ V3. Due to how long Saxton Hale takes to make, I decided to release the classes separately for the moment.

These classes were redesigned with an actual aim, making them truely unique with unique abilities, and giving them all a role (and teamwork-based abilities on the top of that).

This mod is still in a beta phase so it's far from being balanced or anything.

That's pretty much it. The classes are very complex but yeah there's not much else to say.
This mod is played in 1 live, 2-teams TLMS.
Here is finally the guide/how to play the classes !! (since they were so confusing)
I try to keep it as simple and objective as possible as it's already overly complex in-game.

In a general way, classes work like this. They have a buster (default weapon), for most of them, special weapons (like in vanilla TLMS), and then have either PASSIVE
 abilities, or active abilities, on their ALTFIRE or on their ITEM.

(click to show/hide)

MEGAMAN
Role : Weaponry Manager
TF2 Counterpart : Soldier
HP : 100%
ATK : 100%
SPEED : 100%

The closest class to vanilla MM8BDM. Simple and effective, very polyvalent ans easy to use in general.
Starts with 5 special weapons and the good old Mega Buster, like in a casual TLMS!
Special abilities :

ALTFIRE : Rush Coil weapon : a Rush Coil with an ammo bar! This rush coil can be summoned at long range, and be used by both you and your allies! If enemies use it,
   they'll be knocked aside (like a bumper). It's very fast and practical to use in all situations.
PASSIVES:    > As long as Megaman lives, his team gains ammo once in a while. (Can be seen with the blue ammo bar, over the HP bar.) More Megamen = more ammo. Of course
            he regens his own ammo as well.
         > Drops a few weapons when he dies (for his team to collect)
         > ...is able to change skins ( :o ) (not really a "skill" but yeah)
         
My tips: Megaman is very similar to regular TLMS, play him if you want to keep things simple and traditionnal.
Keep in mind you have your Rush Coil on your altfire, it can help a lot in some situations, as an escape, for either you or an ally. Or use it to push an enemy!
That's pretty much it. Megaman's other abilities are passive, so you don't need to worry about them, they do their job.




         
         
         
         
         
PROTOMAN
Role : Brutal Damage Dealer
TF2 Counterpart : Pyro
HP : 55%
ATK : 160%
SPE : 100%

The very offensive class. Can deal extremely high damage in very short amounts of time ("damage bursts"), but is very fragile. An ally you want to protect.
Starts with 5 special weapons and a shieldless and weaker Proto Buster.

Special abilities :
NORMALT : Proto Strikes : Starts the round with 4 Proto Strikes in stock. When charging Proto Buster, press alt to shoot the Proto Strike. It's a large, ripping projectile.
      You'll get some Proto Strike stacks after not taking damage for some time.
ALT : Precipitation : User gets double firing speed for a few seconds, but then receives half firing speed.
ITEM : Break Mode : A mode which can be toogled on/off. When the user damages a target with an attack in this mode, this target takes extra damage for a brief time.

My tip: if you mix both your altfire and item, you'll do a lot, a lot of damage. Make sure to manage them correctly and know what you're doing (don't mash your keyboard)
It's even better if your team is around to support you. If a Duo locks enemies for you, throw all what you have, especially if you have explosive weapons.
Don't be afraid to use your proto strikes, too.











BASS
Role : Movement Control
TF2 Counterpart : Scout
HP : 100%
ATK : 60%
SPE : 140% (1.12)

The mobility class. Helps allies dodging and improve the flow of the stage. Starts with 5 special weapons and a slower firing bass buster.

Special abilities :
> PASSIVE : Double jump : user can doublejump. :o
> ITEM : Dark Portals : Item to aim and create portals at medium range. They can be used by any ally to travel until the other side (1 set of portal at the same
   time/bass player), but enemies can't use them.
> ALT : Bassnium Magnet : Bass consumes some of his magnet ammo, to attract the targets toward him closer.
   MAINFIRE DURING ALT : Mainfire during Bassnium Magnet (when a target was caught in the beam) to immediatly fling the target symetrically in relation to the user.
      Needs at least half of the magnet ammo bar to use.

My tips: Use your super high mobility (movement + doublejump) to roam in the map quickly.
Create the portal in a portion of the map you think it's very useful. You don't need to activate and remove your portal every five seconds. Just lay it somewhere
on the map it can be useful until the end of the game (for a travel over a large pit, or to skip a tall ladder climbing, for instance)
Use your attracting altfire to prevent someone from running if that can help your team attack it, but usually just fling it to force it to come back to you (or into your delayed attacks : Hyper Bomb, Ice Wall... if you're that good at positionning)
Fling them into pit, that's a solution as well.
I'd say use the standard altfire attraction if you don't have the half ammo bar for flinging.






      
      
      
      
      
ROLL
Role : Recovery Handler
TF2 Counterpart : Medic
HP : 150%
ATK : 100%
SPE : 116% (0.928)

Doesn't start with any special weapon. To compensate, she has better stats,as well as an "overdrive" attack when she's the last woman standing.
Her main attack (mainfire) is a beam buster which does very low but continuous damage at medium range.
 Roll is probably the class that will deal the less damage. (she'll spend more time healing than attacking)

Special abilities :
> ITEM : Naolin Pulse : Roll's buster drains HP when this item is activated. This has a ammo limit. Roll regains ammo for this when her max health gets reduced.
> ALTFIRE (WEAPON 1) Healing Beam : Hold buster altfire to continually heal a target. You can look at an ally to see their current health in %.
> MAINFIRE (WEAPON 2) Love Sanctuary : Roll heal herself and allies around. Is noisy on startup, user can't move and erosion increases when using it.
> ALTFIRE (WEAPON 2) Major Recovery : Tag a target. If this ally should die, it'll be brought back to full health instantly, but the user won't be able to use
   any healing ability for some time (gray color).
> ALTFIRE (WHEN ROLL IS THE LAST MAN STANDING) Roll Mob-Up Turbo :    Damaging enemies with the buster energy fills her rage bar. When full, use altfire to start ramming
   at high speed. When catching an opponent in the slide,   mash the altfire button as fast as you can to hit the enemy a lot of times! It does a lot of damage.
   
My tips: Use your healing beam (buster altfire) more than your actual damaging buster. Roll is way more useful when she heals than whe she tries to damage. You should heal as long as you have some allies.
The item is here when you need a quick healing and someone is chasing you. If nobody is chasing you, you could try healing yourself with the Love Sanctuary (weapon2 Main),
especially if you have lots of allies around, or in a large server.
You have the power to give 100% hp back to someone with your 2nd wep altfire, keep in mind that, but also keep in mind you won't be able to heal at all then for some time.
When last player standing, you'll actually want to kill people on your own ; that is why the broom exists. When ramming with the broom, you take heavily reduced damage and do a lot of damage, so if you mash the altfire button fast enough, you should be able to kill your targets
fast enough before they could actually kill you and it's more worth than poking at long range for hours with your buster. Try using your broom and mash hard, really.
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
DUO
Role : Team Protector
TF2 Counterpart : Heavy
HP : 250%
ATK : 100%
SPE : 57,5% (0.46)

The durable, defensive and protective class.
Starts with 5 special weapons and a shorter ranged and weaker Duo Fist.

Special abilities :
ALTFIRE : Cosmic Lock : Hold altfire to charge up to 3 levels, When released user rushes forward, then press a firing button again to crush the fist to the ground.
   Seismic waves attract, enemies, lock them, and Duo steals some HP for every target caught and damage them lightly.
   The user takes reduced damage when the fist shakes the ground, but can't move or jump.
   Charge to increase rush speed, quake attraction and duration.
ITEM : Sacrifice : User can tag an ally in front with item. Whenever this ally should receive damage, user will trade his place with it and the damage
   it should take will be redirected to the Duo.
PASSIVE : User regenerates health slowly. The regen increases briefly after taking damage.


My tips: this guy is very simple. When around your team, charge your altfire and get all the enemies locked to you for your team to attack them. When 1vs1 or in smaller games,
use your special weapons.
Use your damage interception item on a fragile target of your team, like a Wily or a Proto.
A nice combo is to have your tagged ally trick enemies into attacking them, while you charge your altfire, and then release it by surprise after trading positions.
That's pretty much it! Easy and effective.





















WILY
Role : Disabler
TF2 Counterpart : Demoman (:I)
HP : 70%
ATK : 120%
SPE : 115%

Starts with 2 special weapons instead of 5, ranged and melee. To compensate, his default weapon, the Evil Plasma, is stronger than most weapons.
The fire rate on his special weapons are two times slower, but he has infinite ammo for them.

His buster is the Evil Plasma : 2 orbs rotate around user, damaging enemies nearby, even when switching to a special weapon.
Hold main to catch one orb and use it as a dagger for melee damage, release to throw it as a projectile. When it returns, it doesn't damage.

Wily has 3 special orbs. He can select them by tapping altfire, then using them by holding altfire.
> Frostbite Orbs : Send a swarm of 4 orbs, bouncing and blinding the targets they hit.
> Lashing Orbs : Send a swam of fire orbs controllable like remote mines. They slow down enemies when they explode on them and also deviate their aim!
> Gravitational Orb : Charge it by sending pulses of energy on the ground. After charging, release altfire to send a lightning orb which creates a glyph when it lands.
   The allies entering the glyph get lower gravity and better air control. Enemies entering it get higher gravity and worsen air control.
   Enemies entering it will also be attracted toward the core.
   You can only have 1 gravitationnal glyph for each team!
   
   
My tips: Wily's evil orbs are very polyvalent : you can use them as melee or ranged. Note that even when switching to a special wep, the orbs keep rotating around.
You could for instance switch to fire storm and get both the fire spin and the orb rotation damage around.
Wily's weapons have infinite ammo but slowed fire rate. Some weapons are definitely better on him, like high-consuming ammo weapons such as Magnet Missile.
Akin to Bass's portals, Wily's gravitationnal glyph is best summoned in an area it helps allies, try summoning it somewhere people come frequently, try to cover
as much area as possible with it.
His fire and ice orbs have two crowd control effects, slows and blind. I'd say use them when they're available or when you feel like it, then chain with some weapon
or with the Evil Plasma Orbs.



   
   
   
   
   
   
A few extra things.
Megaman, Protoman, Bass and Duo have an energy balancer.
The special weapon randomization is different for every player.

All damage are halved. With the default damage, players would get killed too fast (Protoman could literally kill someone in no time with his kit), and and this also put emphasis on resource management (mostly ammo management, for special weapons).
Due to that, the following weapons' damage are modified to make them not broken when it comes to one-shotting too easily :
> Atomic Fire : 100 ripper ==> 120 + (15 * additional rips)
> Top Spin : Halved damage
> Hyper Bomb: 200 damage max  ==> max damage capped at 110

Also take note of the Erosion system : there's a % on your screen (next to your HP bar), this percentage is only relevant when you or your team has any healing abilities.
When you take damage, a portion of the damage taken will be reduced from your max health (your max health gets "eroded"). If the percent is 20% for instance, and you take 50 damage, then your max health will be reduced by 10. This percent is the erosion coefficient.
This system is meant to limit infinite regeneration/sustain, and thus stalling.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a old prototype for a racing mod. It is heavily inspired by Crash Team Racing.
Includes 1 track and 6 vehicles with different top speed, acceleration and handling stats.
You can do air tricks by timing your jump on certain edges (and gain a turbo boost when landing)
Screws increase your speed.

Still just a prototype but I felt like making it public available for experimental/museum purposes

The theme lasts from about 4 to 8 seconds. Keep constantly taunting and let the RM's theme follow your TLMS fights. Feel like you're battling against other robots from other stages, with other mechanisms :I
HOW TO USE :
1) Download and put the file in the SKINS folder
2) Define a TAUNT key in Options ==> Setup controllings (or something) in the game menu
3) Press the TAUNT key
4) ???
5) Profit !

inb4 everyone uses the boss of the current stage being played
inb4 concertos everywhere
inb4 harmony of 8-bits my ears are happy and I don't get mad anymore because of grenarmaggedon

v5 adds Sniper Joe's, Auto, Sunstar, randomly &Bass or MM8 music versions for Astro/Tengu, MM&B RMs, King included, the MM9 RMs + Fake Man included, MMUnlimited RMs -- Yoku Hammer Mysterious character included

v3 added the Mega Man V themes (only available in Justified Classes)
v2 buffed the global volume of the taunts.

Saxton Hale Rebirth ++ (2014)

(click to show/hide)

IMPORTANT NOTE : Saxton Hale Rebirth ++ is very outdated as development stopped, it is currently (2021) being updated by MegaVile for MM8BDM-v6 (discord link : https://discord.gg/byWgQcF)
The SHR++ description below is just kept for history/legacy purposes I guess




Just call it SHR++ for short

...Saxton Hale again, it strikes back (it never left through). The name of this mod is inspired by Sega's Sonic Mega Collection + videogame, a big collection including all the old Genesis Sonic games. The ++ means, it's basically SH, but... double plus because it's cool
This mod is a merging between Saxton Hale Plus Plus and Saxton Hale Rebirth. I and TailsMK4 both decided to mix our mods' names into one so that way, we don't have to come up with another other name... the title is explicit. SHR++ = SH++ + SHR
In other words, this mod mixes at the same time the potential of Rebirth and ++ so the final product is an homogenous and fun project to play

The new and future hales also have a different gameplay than "melee clones with a different rage". This is a past idea in our mod. The hale stereotype isn't a thing anymore.
More in depth, there are some more aims to make it more enjoyable and fresher. I thought we lacked of hales that have the following properties, that's why I was influenced by these parameters :

==> Hales that attack at medium range, or even long range
==> Hales that don't always OHKO
==> Hales that follow a more original pattern than a simple melee attack... each hale has his own fighting system, and his own good/bad points, they could even be complex to use ; but at least, they're NOT anymore COPIES of EACH OTHER for sure X___X
==> More Megaman-related hales.. I hope.
==> More girl hales :>

If you want to edit or use our mod for another project, PLEASE before doing so, PM me or Tails in the thread what are you up to :/

K thanks for reading you get a pat on the head

Diary of (important) updates :

(click to show/hide)

21/06/14 SHR++ was updated so you can play it with the Mega Man & Bass update ; changelog is located to page 27 or something c:

2/05/14 3 months later... RIDE OOON! It's time again~~! Tails is now my partner and like he said, we are going to work on the same mode. SH++ is called now SHRebirth++ and features parts of both Rebirth and ++! We really hope this merging won't be disappointing, because not only more than 3+ new hales are available, but we also modified some old hales, and many other fixes, rebalancements and new features! Enjoy!
The boss descriptions were updated and shortened for less BS mode, and you can see the detailed changelog right here~~

1/02/14 : Cleaned up some parts of this post, so it's shorter. All the screenshots of the new hales are mixed into one tab.

27/11/13 : It's time~~! I release my mod SH++ v1A this day. The all-first version may be quickly updated to a second or third versions because some hales might be unbalanced =) unfortunately, my betatesting team wasn't enough big to recreate a big server :/
I'll be hosting a server with Saxton Hale ++. Due to my hate of Saxton Hale's popularity (I enjoy it, but I blame it at the same time for being the --almost-- only mode being played), I might take down my servers temporarily to force people play something else than Saxton Hale >_< it sounds silly but meh
To come back to the actual news, SH++ hasn't classes so don't be surprised, instead enjoy being able to use the skins
I'll be often present in my servers to receive feedbacks about balancing

24/11/13 : I'm getting closer to the end. The release should come soon :3

22/11/13 : Nah, it's not dead, not at all, I've on the contrary been busy working with it. I've only ONE hale left, but like Seemen and Cave Story, that's a "team" hale, so it takes more time to code, especially because EACH member has its own skills :/
I decided to give Remilia back her old theme : Diana Boncheva feat. BanYa - Beethoven Virus, because her theme, Septette for the Dead Princess, was too mainstream for me >_<

6/11/13 : Added a picture of the 5th and final hale's HUD

1/11/13 : Remilia's theme is now a 8-bit cover of her actual theme by Skutieos7 (previous theme was Diana Boncheva feat. BanYa - Beethoven Virus)

30/11/13 : Finished the 4th hale on my side

27/11/13 : Just divided the "change from the official SH" section into Gameplay and Audio/Graphic for sorting things

25/11/13 : Incoming BUNCH of screenshots ! For older or new hales, enjoy the view :I
Some minor stuff concerning older hales was also added to the Change from Saxton Hale section
I revealed Remilia Scarlet's theme because meh.

20/11/13 : Due to suggestions, Pissed Off Roll is confirmed to come back, after so much players wanted her cute voice back. Of course, I'm not PORoll's maker, this is SilverSin's work.

19/11/13 : Added a picture of the 3rd hale's HUD in the Screenshots section.

18/11/13 : Even more stuff in the "Changes from the official Saxton Hale" were added ; because I feel the envy to do so. Also I spoiled weaknesses for each hale. I wonder if other Saxton Hale modders around here would like to adopt the weakness system for every hale in every Saxton Hale mod ?
That way we could have "official weaknesses" included in other mods and that could be interesting :3

EDIT : A few hours later, SuperJustinBros convinced me that weaknesses are a bad idea, because they just make the fight more or less easy according to luck. So, totally against skills. I decided to turn off the code, but I might still reactivate it in case of if people really want them back. Until further notice, NO hale, including Scrooge, have a weakness and/or resistances.

17/11/13 : I just added some more stuff in the "Changes from the official Saxton Hale" spoiler.

16/11/13 : Okay, I know it's not nice not revealing a single hale. So here she arrives, straight from the Touhou galaxy : Remilia Scarlet is a hale. I added pictures of her, as well as a boss description.

My project is flowing quite nicely if I do say myself, on my view of the things. 3 hales on the 5 planned are already completly finished. I only spoiled one for the moment through :3
I can foresee the release date of the first playable, and enjoyable version (v1A) around the 1st December. Maybe a little later if I slowly progress on it D:

11/11/13 : Thread created. I won't spoil any hale for the moment, through two screenshots from these hales are posted in the screenshot section.

The classes

(click to show/hide)

Latest name I remember calling them was Silversin Classes Redesigned.
These copywep based classes are inspired by TF2 and Silversin's classes from Saxton & Friend. The aim was to go toward more gameplay horizons, but at the same time, without having something too different. These classes most of the time trade stats (less health for more power, less speed for more armor...), and thus I think they are enjoyable enough, and at the same time, aren't the same thing as playing with YD classes.
These classes feature the Megaman main cast as characters. You can see the following picture in-game by using "help_menu" in the console, but I'll give some more informations about them below I advise to read too

==> Nothing special about Megaman, he's the exactly same standard LMS class by default. Only him can use skins!

==> Protoman, Bass and Duo don't start with the Mega Buster, but with their respective buster upgrade... a nerfed version, actually. Unlike Megaman who start with 5 weapons ; Proto, Bass and Duo all three start with 3 weapons

==> Proto Man's Proto Buster has no shield and the damage is slighty nerfed (by 20% to be accurate). So now it acts as a kind of chargeable, sniping Mega buster.

==> Bass' Bass Buster is like the copywep version, however it has a slower fire rate

==> Duo's duo fist takes longer to charge.

==> Auto's weapon acts like a stronger Mega Buster. He fires screws instead of pellets, and the big screws do more damage. Auto can help his allies by providing a large variety of products divided into 2 categories : items and parts. Switch the weapon to swap between items and parts.
> Once created, the items will stay on the map until someone picks them. They can be used at anytime
> The parts on the opposite, disappear after some time if they're not collected. When picked up, their effect instantly activate, and lasts temporarily
Auto receives bolts once in a while automatically (max : 999). With them, he can make up stuff.
Open the products window with altfire.
When opened, scroll between the list of objects by tapping altfire, until the desired object is selected.
Confirm your selection by holding altfire, and tadaaaa, if you have enough bolts, your object will be created and sent to the allies! Careful as you're slowed down while creating something.

It takes some time to handle it but once acquired it feels pretty varied and fun to use.
The list of the objects Auto can create :

ITEMS (Weapon 1)
> Random Weapon (225 bolts) : like Eddie, provides a random weapon. Eddie however has a higher probability of giving rare weapons
> W-Tank (185 bolts) : no description needed
> Beat (300 bolts) : A Beat Call-type insurer object
> Exit Unit (450 bolts) : Teleports the user to a random spawn point of the map

PARTS (Weapon 2)
> E. Analyzer (120 bolts) : draws the complete map on the automap, and display all the actors as well for some time. It's more useful than how it seems
> S. Armor (300 bolts) : reduces the damage taken of the user for some time
> H.S.D. (250 bolts) : increases the mobility of the user for some time
> S. Buster (400 bolts) : increases the strength of the user for some time

==> Roll's weapon on the other hand, acts like a faster Mega Buster. Faster missiles with a slightly faster fire rate.
By tapping the altfire, you can check a target's health. Tap it often, quickly on everyone to keep your eye on their health, and you'll be best medic of the server
If the target has full health, a mirror buster sound will play and green sparkles will spread. If the target is indeed weakened, a laser buster sound will play and red sparkles will spread.
Hold the altfire to send the healing beam. When your patient casts green sparkles, it means he/she's completly retablished

MM8BDM Discussion / Re: State of the Servers

« on: October 14, 2013, 03:03:50 PM »

I'm just gonna say that I haven't been playing much of MM8BDM anything lately because of school. I'd imagine a lot of people have the same problem.

School my ass, I always see over 20 people playing SH, and over 20 Cutstuff people on Skype that aren't playing MM8BDM. Cutstuff just stopped playing the game because it doesn't want to play it anymore until the next version.

Of coruse, school can't contaminate every player, THROUGH it may be a reason for players to stop temporarily... I'm in that situation, I have no time to actually play MM8BDM, but I still follow the news (like the blessed Ivory posts on v4).

I noticed through, Saxton Hale is still not dead, on the contrary still blooming like always, with hundreds and hundreds of servers, and of people making modifications for it... but I know there's eventually Dr. Crasger's server, or for short, a Classes TLMS servers, which is still nice to look at, when people joined it. Considering famous people that have a giant postcount as "MM8BDM" core players, I tend to see one, or eventually two dev/core players. On occasion. I think the devs work a lot, without or rarely playing the game with casual players, online. The ones I saw the most were YD and Ukiyama, who randomly play the servers they like. (EDIT : yeah, like the ninja post two times above says). I think devs should either take a break from making, or take some more time to enjoy their creation :3 besides, you could even listen to the player's opinions !

Concerning servers other than SH and things with classes, the best nowadays is to make a game with your friends, because it won't be easy to resurrect a Vanilla, ScrewScramble, ?BOX, Ukiweps... server alone. Through feel the positive, Mission Mode and a new tendency that appears sometimes, Obstacle Course by Lobsters, are still servers people want to play in.
Do we need someone to post a new game mode to rebalance the things ? :3

Not bringing news from Keiji, but Capcom. And some kind of partner association.
Everyone knows what the Mega Man fans want : a board game, of course ! Isn't that obvious ?

Poor Mega Man is so Rush-ed by Capcom with musical albums and things in response to Mighty no.9

In Game Name: Yellow Devil, I also play under SJones but I'm not myself when I use that name (so don't judge me for being an asshole, consider it roleplaying)

W-w-wwait ? You were actually SJones while all this time and I didn't know ? You join quite often servers with this name -if not always-, so I never knew you were YD. Oh well, now I'll remember. You're known as the Punk who only uses the main fire of weapon 1, and I was often irritated by what you were saying to my poor Gemini Man, who fight and don't even receive money for it. But if it's only .... ROLEPLAY, then...

I'm not sure such a narrow stage, is the best place to learn for newcomers. This level isn't nicknamed Rape cage #1 for nothing. I'd rather have proposed a large, flat layout for easy mobility, like in Centaur Man's stage. Besides, the stage right after Cut's, which is Guts', contains way harder layout, some advanced/technical weapons (Time Slow, Tornado Hold) and already involves items.

I came to ask if v4 will add new CTF stages.

This is my first request.
After Lego gave me the role for making Lightning Flash, Thunder Man's weapon from the fangame Rokko-chan (a FLASH fangame where the protagonist is a female Mega Man who must defeat a doctor with a big nose), I started finding gameplay ideas, but I have some trouble with its graphics. Since I'm the worst spriter on this planet, I need someone's help for making rotations to this electric projectile below :



Not the biggest amount of pixels to deal with, but I still can't do it myself. I'd appreciate help, and this would make me and the other Rokko-chan modders happy.

Ingame names : Stardust ; StardustRapeMachine
Favourite skins : Gemini, Ninja Spy (by FTX)

Reputation : I'm an eventual coder, a Gemini bro (or Toad/Hard bro if you read this, Zomo) and casual young french player. On occasion I'm Shyster's assistant for rebuilding the Wiki. Not especially useful to the community, but I enjoy playing online with other players.
Anything else ? : Put the cake in the oven for a while
Oh and Uki and Michael are the best friends in the world

Also LLama didn't you have fun playing Dark Man 1 lately ?

Aaaah. Not to worry, locking my mouth with a key and digging it, I'm not going to tell any information you don't want me to. Pinkie Pie promised.
Through since the screenshots now have talked, I can't say anything except that Dust and Junk aren't the only ones anymore that have a special graphic for their ammo bar.

I do think that getting rid of that single-player class-selection menu is a good idea. Really, there's no reason to have it there.

Or maybe just keep Megaman, Protoman, and Bass as selectable characters. (Maybe Roll, but IDK)

I don't think this will be possible. This screen is supposed to list all the classes, but since there are like +60 coded, it only shows the first ones.
Also, yeah, they're still working, not later than yesterday, I saw Musashi testing with Celebi on some kind of private server. One day ago, Musashi spoiled gameplay designs of the new classes, as well as rebalancement and new features for older classes, in GiantMega's hotel server.

Are you blind to the the big huge elevated platforms located by said pillars? You can jump to them.

Well, I'm not sure we're talking about the same platforms. And anyway, it's not like I can play the level now, so my eye can be troubled with the perspective. Take this very close peg hook to the player.
From how it's placed, I'd say the hook touches the floor, whereas it should be hooked mugh higher. Or even this Reggae picture in the corner, I couldn't tell if it's a HUD icon or a the weapon in the World.

A little late, but from the Magic Man screenshot, I guess/notice two things : the Thunder Claw seems to be recolorated in cyan colors (it makes it more "lightning"). And secondly, according to this map's structure, I think Magic Card does catch energy and health, because these health/weapon capsules seem to be placed on the top of taller pillars that don't seem to be accessible by normal jumping. Aside from that, I wonder how much gimmicks from the original stage were implanted. Between the skull lifts, the bouncy "midboss", the choochooes, and the ding-a-lings players, there's quite a lot to choose from. It's a large stage, isn't it.

Not sure my pure french accent will look like mad scientist or old wise man, so I'll just say here that you could eventually ask some help on Overclocked Remix. In a thread where their community did a remix battle based on Robot Masters' themes, some artists put voice clips in their remixes.

Nah, honestly I don't mind their use. The prevention of the weapons' use in the expansion was a vain attempt to kickstart the expansion itself.

The use of them is fine. (In spite of what my topic says because I haven't updated that in eons...and I can't be bothered to do so.)

@Lego and/or @Magnet Dood : I could update and fix them for you, if you want me to. This should be done in a jiffy. Still considering Lego as the creator, of course.
I can't map at all, through.
