MM8BDM Discussion / Re: Best Ever vs Regular Servers

Hmm, looks like I'll have to host a BE server myself and see what happens.

Anyone got a tutorial?

MM8BDM Discussion / Best Ever vs Regular Servers

« on: September 28, 2013, 02:07:03 AM »

For quite some time now I've been suspicious of the servers running under "Best Ever" that appear in Doomseeker's server list. It feels like any server that doesn't host in BE is doomed to have a very low number of players at one time or none at all.

Personally, I never used BE, primarily for the sole fault I find it to have, aside from an over-the-top account setup process: The random automated "Server" announcements that are dumped out.

I think the Weapon Pellets and Weapon Capsules fuel up the Hales' Rage a little too quickly- It takes seven pellets or two capsules (or one capsule with two pellets) to reach a full Rage meter.

Still no luck in fixing Quote's Spur staying locked into firing low-charge shots, I see.

So I was thinking, Since Duo technically is considered the strongest but slowest of the classes (not being able to attack unless at a close range), could he have the Hard/Toad armor used in the Classes wads that gives him an additional 50% of HP? Or would that make him broken in contrast to the more mobile classes that can snipe from a large distance away?

IMO, a fully-charged Duo Fist doesn't do enough damage for it's own good.

So any reason why Slashman bots use Slashman's sprites from RM7FC instead of the ones from MM10?

With the amount of time it takes for each new release of MM8BDM, including reversions, I'd say it'd take until somewhere around late Spring of 2014 before the &Bass expansion would be completed and ready to release. The most we may see for something in Christmas is a v3C somewhere in December or Janruary.

This mode in my opinion is mostly just "Let Scrooge players race for Quote players to get rage and out-Moby everyone else". But it's still fun as heck.

Pellets would spawn on any surface that can be reached by players, so while it may look ugly, it'll be quite simple to implement.

I'm sorry if I didn't bring this up in detail in my previous post. Not every pellet on the board must be acquired; and the pellets that are collected re spawn. Think of something like the Sonic Rings from LMS Games, but they don't re spawn as fast. The pellet spawn is randomly generated based on the layout of the current map.

I suppose there will be no support for taller maps than what's currently allowed?

Spare me the details on why exactly the Pac-Man ghosts are a bad idea.

The other day while I was on the ever-so-popular Classes Saxton Hale server, me and the other players were discussing what new hales could be brought in. Aside form the usual suggestion for more ranged hales, we also were discussing a replacement for the no longer scary Slendercowardman. And the one thing that popped up was a hale where one would play as the infamous deformed humanoid monster from Ao Oni.

(click to show/hide)

He'd be a hybrid of both a timer-based hale and you standard melee hale, running on both a timer and health bar. So he's basically Slenderman without the "stunning after enough damage" gimmick or the ability to stun others in non-Class games with his item, rather having Health along with the timer. Most importantly, no cheesy quotes if he scores a kill!

As for this one, I wanted to come up with a unique idea for a Hale, so I decided on this one: The Ghostly Quartet from Pac-Man.

(click to show/hide)

A quad-hale, with four players transformed into the four Ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde, and hunt down other players with a simple melee attack. Rather than direct conflict with the Ghosts, the survivors must collect Pellets that spawn randomly on the current map, and after collecting the required amount (that increases based on the number of players), the Ghosts die and the Survivors are granted victory. There'd be a timer in play to ensure no stalling.

There would be a very small chance that a Power Pellet will drop, collecting it will allow the survivor that obtained the pellet to fire a paralysis shot that freezes one of the ghosts in place.

This would be their theme music:

EDIT: Probably will be migrating over to Tails' thread if Balrog has ceased production on Saxton Hale.

I'm getting Vectorman vibes from this [concept of morphing].
