MM8BDM Discussion / Re: CTF?

« on: July 31, 2010, 05:22:36 AM »

After the full game is released I wouldn't mind learning how to map for mm8bdm and start making a map or two.

What about a Megaman ctf map looks like it is 8bit but doesn't necessarily looks like its from any particular level? Or a remixed level? Remixed music?

MM8BDM Discussion / CTF?

Are There going to be CTF maps?

I just had a thought that it would be exactly right to have ctf maps based off one level. You have to distinguish between red and blue base. I am also thinking that maybe it might not work to have a ctf map that uses 2 robot master levels (CUT MAN VS ELEC MAN).

I made a lot of progress on the guide and I would really like some feedback and some help with it. I have got alot in there, but there is alot it needs. I have a feeling I will be redoing a lot when the full version of mm8bdm comes out.

Also could somebody take over since the school semester starts up for me soon.

Mako, I have been messing around in your server when it was 90%. Its a bit shaky. I don't think skulltag handles low gravity that well. Good job on getting a server on a Mac.

I just figured out my main problem, a computer on my network was infected and started to suck up my bandwidth. I have decided that sometime this week I will bring my server back online, the main difference is that I will try something a bit different. I have an idea for an experiment that could make things a bit more interesting on the server side.

I might keep the server up after my experiment.

I ended up using IDE to generate the batchfile, cfg file, and this RSP file wich I have no idea what it does. Then I went hunting down the commands to do a log file just how I just wanted to figure out how to prep this kind of server for a remote box for my clan.

Mako, I honestly never heard of anyone running any kind of game server, or any server on a mac before. I am curious if you are much you know of linux.

Nope. You'll just have to filter them down in DoomSeeker or whatever to find what you're looking for.

I was afraid of that.

anyways, I started work on a comprensive server guide. I figured include everything from the simple lan server, to setting up multiple servers on a remote box. I would also like some help from the community.

instagib is basically metalman mode

Instagib, should be set up to use only certian weapons. I am thinking hard knuckle, air shooter, megabuster, and heat gun.

MM8BDM Discussion / Comprehensive SERVER GUIDE (WIP, HELP WANTED)

« on: July 26, 2010, 07:42:02 PM »

I am currently working on a guide for running different types of servers for mm8bdm, and I have a few questions that I want to ask.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3477448/MM8BDM% ... 0GUIDE.doc

If I change the port number in the RSP file would the server still be listed in skulltag's server list or cause any problems? (This is for running multiple servers in one machine). Internal testing says yes, you can run more than one server on one machine.

+deathmatch 1
-config ideserver.cfg
-iwad "E:MM8BDM~1megagame.wad"
-file E:MM8BDM~1mm8bdm-sgc.pk3
-port 10666
+exec idemmcnfgtest.cfg

On the configure server option box there is a option for  "PWADs Dowload url:", is this the same thing as a redirect in other games? "Don't download from the server get it from this site"?  what kind of link should I put in there?

Can I get an advance copy of the mm8bdm launcher, map list, and/or other file names so that I don't have to rewrite everything once the full version is released?

Will the basic server program change when the new version is released?

Is there any way to start/stop/restart a skulltag server remotely via telnet or webpage just like tcadmin?

Anyone here a linux expert?

---
Is there any info you guys want me to throw in?

In the server window you should be able to change it in the server window using the command "sv_hostname Megaman deathmatch" or whatever. As for game mode, "deathmatch 1" and then "map MM1CUT" to reset the game should do it.

From what I understand that may not work that well. Is there a command to have the server browser to only search for servers running the specific wad.

Just remember, in megaman 2 there was a glitch where metalman could be killed with just one metal blade. How would you like that weekness because you are using a metalman skin and Cutmanmike decides to be true to the orignal material. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VTy06TCN5A

I would say, for multiplayer deathmatch: No weaknesses,  singleplayer campaign: Absolutly if possible.

Might be on a Mac too, I can't tell

Everything looked pretty good as far as image quailty, I want to know is what tool did he use for video capture.  If we plan on doing a setup video I can do audio editing. Cutmanmike, what do you use for your videos as far as capturing.

also why did that guy included that 30 second intro?

Ok BEan, I've finished my guide for Mac.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HBOAFOWF
I'm going to update my thread on with the info I added to this guide.

Very nice, I do think there is a lot here. I would separate the controller guide, it not really necessary to run the game. I think what we are going to have to do is maybe take some parts from my guide and put them in to your and vise versa.

Indeed. I think a video walk through would be handy, I know someone has done one already in spanish. I'd do one but my voice is kinda lame, especially for explaining instructions  

Is this video on youtube, I would like to see it.

I am going to take my server down, until the update or I can find somebody else to host it. The main reason being is that nobody uses and its starting to cause some interference on other programs an such.  I have been looking at my rCon and logs and noticing that its just been wrong version or random people would connect, realize its empty, and then leave.  I have set up the QOS settings for my router to give a high priority to my mm8bdm server and had to made some adjustments to other services. I simply wanted to make sure I have done everything right, For the last week when ever I play a different game, use xbox live, or whatever I have have thought of "this may be screwing up my server". If I was able to notice the lag and interference, there is a chance that my family might find out and start asking questions.  The last thing is that I don't want my isp to come down on me for running this server, considering its likely against the TOS I have with charter. I wouldn't want any of those "you have a virus", "you have a server cut it out", "you have suspicous activity", or "you have a server, we are going to bump you up to a higher rate" letters. Even though I never heard of My ISP doing that, I am not going to chance it anymore. I know what you thinking, and your wrong, ISP's have done this before. Remeber when modern Warefare 2 came out with the P2P IW.net.

http://www.destructoid.com/modern-warfa ... 7257.phtml

I am going to try to convince the Ruca clan to host a server, but It may be a difficult until the final version and since there is no TCadmin like compatability with a webpage to start, stop, and restart the server.

Screw that.
