I can help here.

I fixed in this in some of my personal mods and the custom HUDS I made as a mini mod for Justified classes, because I have a wide screen monitor.

You will find that most weapons that aren't translations of the buster, they also have unique dash sprites(as the actual images for those dashes are located under Bass in sprites), and those will do be fine.

The attacks that use a color translation of the buster and the dash will not be as they have been cropped below their actual size, in the translation.

The "A0" sprite translations do not need changing as they are just the one arm part and are very narrow already in width, and therefore do not extend outside the frame.

The "B0" AND "C0" translations need changing, as the images are wider than the frame containing them (they may look fine on a 4:3 monitor, but everything wider than that is cut off.)

(click to show/hide)

the areas in the bold unlerline of the dash hud translations in the texture files are where the problems are, they need to be changed for it to accommodate widescreen

Here is an example of whats wrong

Sprite DHSNA0, 320, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
   Patch BAS2A0, 165, 70 {Translation "198:198=230:230"}
}

Sprite DHSNB0, 320, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
Patch BAS2B0, -35, 70 {Translation "198:198=230:230"}
}

Sprite DHSNC0, 320, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
   Patch BAS2C0, -77, 82 {Translation "198:198=230:230"}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is how they should be

*/sprite DHSNA0, 320, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
   Patch BAS2A0, 165, 70 {Translation "198:198=230:230"}
}/*

*/Sprite DHSNB0, 403, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
   Patch BAS2B0, 0, 70[/b] {Translation "198:198=230:230"}
}/*

*/Sprite DHSNC0, 473, 200
{  XScale 1.0 YScale 1.0 Offset 0,0
   Patch BAS2C0, 0, 82 {Translation "198:198=230:230"}

So it is the x width and alignment that needs changing to support wide screen.

The actual image canvas widths for "B0" AND "C0" are 403 and 473 respectively,
by limiting them to 320 width, they are being trimmed by a major amount on each side

The mmb classes are done. Right now, we are rebalancing the classes and seeing how we can improve them. This could take a week or two weeks at most.

I like the sound of that

I enjoy all the major class mods in the community

I love Duke 3d for the pc

That's the game that I cut my teeth on, as far as mapping is concerned

I spent a hell of a lot of time back in the 90's on the old 486 dx66 doing mapping on Duke 3d

Only thing I noticed so far, is where Galaxy man appears in the selection order. He appears with the Megaman 4 Robot Masters, instead of with Hornet man and Magma man. Just a a small oversight, as I see in the keyconf file that his name is entered twice, once early in the roster and active (with the MM4 bosses) and later on inactive (with the Megaman 9 bosses)

This is something that's easy enough to live for the time being.
Other than this I have not seen anything else as of yet.

I am glad this is done, I was working on an unofficial v4 compatibility patch, I think the only thing I could not quite figure out properly was fixing the ammo bar issue. It was making me quite frustrated, I am glad I don't have to finish it now.

Here is a huge Thank You

Below is what I managed to figure out and fix

(click to show/hide)

List of things I had noticed for fixing compatibility
WeaponSlide.txt - NoiseCrushflag was changed to WeaponCharge (to match changes made from MM8BDMv3 to v4)
NoiseCrushBoss.txt - All Instances of NoisecrushFlag were changed to WeaponCharge (same reason as above)
PharohmanWeapon.txt - All instances of PharaohCharge were Changed to WeaponCharge (same reasons as above)
ClassBase0.txt - PharaohCharge was changed to WeaponCharge (same reason as above)

GLOBAL2 - GiveInventory("IGMovement",1); was added
GLOBAL2 - All instances of MRX were changed to King (King replaced MRX as the PurpleTeam)
SBARINFO - All Instances of PharaohCharge and NoiseCrushFlag were changed to WeaponCharge
SBARINFO - All instances of MRXTeamFlag were changed to KingTeamFlag
SBARINFO - All instances of XBAR AND XBARH were changed to KBAR AND KBARH respectively (out with MRX, in with King)

Geminilaserboss.txt - All instances of GemeniTrail were changed to GeminiTrail (to match changes made from MM8BDM v3 to v4)
Airshooterboss.txt - AirShot2 changed to Airshot (as Airshot no longer exists in MM8BDM v4)
(PS: I didn't fix the spelling of the file, just fixed the compatibility issue inside)
MegaBuster.txt - Flash Fix was done, like was done in base MM8BDM v4

SLASHMAN.TXT - All instances of SLA2 replaced with SLAS (to match the slashman used in MM8BDM v4)

WCOLOR2 - Added the MM&B Weapon Definitions

CWENERGY - Added all the Megaman&Bass Weapons to Weapons_Ammo, just as they appeared in WEPACS IN BASE MM8BDM v4
   did the very same in the ammomax_modifier below that. Increased the #DEFINE MAX_WEAPONS list accordingly to match this.

Global2 - Added The Megaman&Bass Weapons to the the weapon type catergories in Script 982 (LMS weapon Randomization)
CLMS - Added the Megamn&Bass Weapons to the weapon type catergories


Decorate - Added an Edited Version Of CopyShot and CopyVision, changing the sprites for these, in v4 CopyVision and Megaman?(copyman) used the exact same names for their sprites
Included renamed versions Sprites for Copy vision, because they were named the same as Megaman?'s(copybot)sprites.

Fireman.txt - had to rename all instances of Burnwave to BurnWave2, as a different BurnWave has been added (which serves a different purpose) to Base MM8BDM v4 for Burnerman's stage

After all theses fixes, I recompiled the necessary acs files.

I was still was working on fixing the damn weapon bars, but now I don't have to, and that makes me happy :)

I'm looking forward to more mm9 classes down the line

Once all of the core series games have been done Megaman 1 through 10, it would be nice to go beyond Just Deathmatch, Capture the Flag and the other included modes
and include the graphics and actors for as many of the various enemies from many of the megaman levels and continue building upon that, perhaps at some point, bringing into the fold the work from the Mission mode mod, for a more expansive non tournament style single player (not replacing it mind you, just an added option)

It would have to be Shademan's stage, I find it stands out against all the others, and I have played all of the main series, 1-10 and Megaman&Bass as well as  I-V for gameboy.

I am not sure what I would pick for Megaman X as I have only played the first 3 X titles.

Help & Editing / Re: Simple mod for Robot Master's original colors?

« on: July 16, 2014, 04:18:21 AM »

Well technically it is possible (but not in the way you thinking, not with skins) if someone was a sadist and liked to do an insane amount of work for very little payoff. The workload would be horrendous. BTW

but don't count on it happening. Its too much to ask for.

Lets say you wanted to do this for all the robot bosses from Megaman 1 to Megaman 8.
The only way it could be done is first make each character its very own class(64 new classes would have to be made). Then make a unique version of the megabuster for each and every boss robot in the game.(64 new weapons) These would be copies of the megabuster named differently, lets say megabuster1 through megabuster64. You would also have to put the proper
ACS_ExecuteAlways(998,0,?)
where the ? corresponds to that characters proper translation inside each unique megabuster.

then put in each actor(class)
player.startitem "????"
where the ???? would be the proper name of the unique megabuster that corresponds to the actor you are giving it to.

Make 64 new definitions that call upon each character's appropriate color. Also you would have to put 64 new translations in the WEPAC's.

but wait there's more, but I won't go into it, enough has been said already.

If you wanted to make something like this it would be easier (but not by much) to make a supplementary mod to justified classes, and do everything I said above except making new classes. One thing to note though, the WEPACS and WCOLORS in that mod are already compiled and as such cannot be edited, unless one of the mod developers were to give you a uncompiled version of those two files.

Essentially you'd be making your very own classes mod from scratch, if you look around the community those are hard to make and have many intermediate to advanced coders working on each of them, and they still take a long time to update bug test and fine tune, for each individual release.

Personally, if I were you I'd just be happy with the amazing game you already have before you, and try out the many mods the community has to offer, you will surely find one that you love.

Why not just make each actor invulnerable for their pain state, that will stop ripper overload, or at least a big enough portion of frames to prevent this, without it adversely affecting damage from rapid fire weapons.

I keep thinking we should make NES-Perfect classes that are EXACTLY like the bossfights.

The problem would be that it would be horribly unbalanced. But whatev.

I would like to be involved with that, I enjoy the meticulous attention to detail that would involve.

I am constantly making minimods called "Deviations". A Deviation is a pk3 file that is added after a major mod, to make major or minor modifcations in ways to the mod so its plays how you want it. They are added as a second file in the add file bar and contain many changes to various classes from the various class mods in pk3's for my friends and family, making changes to the game which make it exactly how we want it to be. Different visions breed different Deviations.

Never mind about skullman not being able to cancel out of his shield, it was only a glitch that happened a couple of times apparently, not sure why though, code looks fine. some limited movement would be great though.

Still would be nice though that when you cancel it early, it didn't drain the remainder of the bar.
